STEALTH BIKEWORKS BANNER

STEALTH REPORT FROM NORTH CAROLINA–It has been like winter all over again around her the past few days. We set a record for low temps Easter Sunday, it was 21 degrees that morning! Hey, It is Spring and that is the way it goes! I love Spring, the earth comes to life, bikes are back on the road, baseball is back, it is just a good time of year.

Once in awhile I need a good kick in the pants to remind me how blessed I am and it usually come form “THE MEANEST,” she is pretty good at that. I guess we all need a good kick once in awhile. This past week my buddy Hiway from your shot kinda reminded me. You know when I stop and think about it, I am very fortunate to do what I do at STEALTH BIKE WORKS. No, I am not talking about how much money we make, because at times it is a real struggle, but we still find a way to keep going.

In May we come up on our 2-year Anniversary. I think we have done very well for a small shop. We are starting our 5th ground up build, we have made a lot of new friends along the way and we have carved our own little niche around here. A lot of people come in for old school and bobber inventory. That is what we do, bare bones, no frills, no extras thrown on bikes. That is what I grew up with and I have always held onto that style bike. SBW ain’t for everyone and it was never intended to be. No boutiques, just parts and bikes. You can hear the sounds of a bike shop and SBW smells like a bike shop, not a bad smell, which to me and our customers is a good thing. When you enter the shop, you know you are in a bike shop, not a mall.

It is Spring, like I said. I remember being a kid and from morning until night we played baseball, all day everyday. I played through high school and two years after high school. Man those were some care free days and you thought they would never end but as with everything in life, they ended. At the time we all took it for granted that those days would go on forever. I guess myself and all of us took those days for granted. Man we got to play baseball everyday and now I find myself thinking about SBW in the same ways except i am not taking any of it for granted. Man, I get to go to a motorcycle shop today, It doesn’t get any better for me!

Until next week, RIDE!

MORE BIKERNET CULTURE, ART FROM CHRIS KALLAS–Since you were out of town and not breathing down my neck, I haven’t worked on the Assalt Weapan mascot girl.Actually been busy selling art and stuff on ebay, helping my brother, and working on my taxes.

Mike (Stealthworks), Pullin has contacted me about doing another Run for Breath t-shirt design since he’s doing the event again this year.

Shameless plug: The article on my art is in the latest (june issue), of Bike Works. By next week it should be available everywhere.I haven’t seen it yet myself. Here’s some eye candy for the news, a jpg. of a work in progress. It’s a re-do of a piece I did awhile ago.

Strokers

RICK FAIRLESS? STROKERS DALLAS TO EXPAND, GAIN 16,000 SQUARE FEET–Dallas, TX (February 6, 2007)- Rick Fairless? Strokers Dallas, the 35,000 square feet motorcycle mecca located in northern Dallas, is in the process of a major expansion. Plans were recently unveiled for the 16,000 square feet property adjacent to Strokers Dallas on Shorecrest Drive that Fairless has purchased. Construction will begin soon to add showroom and service department space, new offices, a larger parts department, a tattoo parlor, and a new outdoor bar area.

According to Fairless, all offices currently located in the dealership will move next door to the new larger space, increasing their current showroom floor by nearly 1,200 square feet. This new additional space will allow Strokers to display more motorcycles, increase their parts section, and expand their apparel selection.

There are also plans to add and open up a second floor in the parts room, which was formerly closed to the public. This will allow Strokers to increase their inventory and showcase their products to customers. ?This will give us the opportunity to show our customers what a wide variety of parts and accessories we really carry. Before, people weren?t able to see everything behind the closed doors,? said Fairless. ?Now, they?ll be able to see it all.?

The new outdoor bar space will occupy 7,500 square feet on the north end of the property. This new space will allow for even more motorcycle parking and party areas during the packed weekends at Strokers. There are also plans to build a new stage area and increase covered motorcycle parking.

?With the addition of the new outdoor bar, we will now be able to accommodate more private parties and events by renting out that space to large groups or companies? said Fairless. ?We?ve had parties and weddings here before, but this will be cool for those people to have their own area aside from the rest of the crowd.? To get more information on having an event at Strokers, call them at 214-357-0707.

THAT?S A WRAP FOR THURSDAY–I?ve been thinking about what the girls were whinning about and something came to me. Each week when I run down our projects they freak. It might be workload pressure. Some folks love accomplishments and goals, others run from them.

Tank
Our fearless shop dog, Tank.

I take a lot of pride in this industry and want to run all the news, whether the company advertises with me or not. I want you to receive all the goddamn news I can deliver.

I?m sure you?ve noticed that generally there?s three or four contest going on. From now on we?re going to up that number with our own contest area. Check it out and sign up. We?re shooting for five winners a week. Don?t forget to sign up for the D&D contest and the Saddleman/Metric Thunder prizes. They?re giving away $1000 prizes monthly.

Just so I don?t disturb the girls sensitive nature this week, I?ll keep my projects list mellow. Hang on for Australian reports and more on our Bonneville effort. We?ve put in to be a major Bubs Bonneville sponsor this year. We?ll let you know the outcome this week.
