Looking Forward: The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, Summer 2022  The 82nd Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is coming in August!   It’ll be here before you know it!  And with it, will be thunderous excitement as one of the longest-standing motorcycle rallies in history.  There will be hundreds of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts riding in the Black Hills of South Dakota.  (2021’s turnout was over 250,000 people!)  And as it is every year, memories will be made!   Will you be in Sturgis, SD, to take part in making motorcycle history ? While you’re in Sturgis, be sure to take in all the scenery.  There’s a lot of history.  And there’s a lot of sights to see.  Drop into the motorcycle museum.  ZZ Top will be performing at Buffalo Chip, with plans to line up (hopeful) talent like Rob Zombie, Nine Inch Nails, Foreigner, Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg, and more!  The entertainment will be spectacular, and the riding will be exhilaratin...

Winterizing your gear isn’t a matter of just washing and waxing the body and then covering the vehicle up for the next several months.   It’s also ensuring that the motors and seals will stay clean and free from the residue, dirt, and sludge in the existing oil that often can lead to expensive, time consuming repairs next spring.   For proper winterizing you need a complete oil and filt...

One of the most crucial maintenance tasks to perform as a car owner is doing a periodic transmission fluid change.  Fortunately, this doesn’t need to be done often.  Many manufacturers state you should have a transmission fluid service performed when your vehicle has reached 100,000 miles.  Your vehicle's manual lists your specific service intervals.  While your manufacturer's recommended interval may be acceptable under gentle driving conditions, the car maker isn’t going to foot the bill for any transmission wear and tear failures unless the vehicle warranty specifically covers them.  You must be more proactive with regards to maintenance to ensure your ride is maintained smoothly.  After all, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.   Replacing your car's transmission fluid 10,000 to 15,000 miles early greatly increases the odds that you won’t  encounter premature wear or damage to your transmission.  That average...
