The RIVCO semi-trailer is at the Blues, Bikes and Barbeque Rally in Fayetteville, and many of our Arkansas customers are attending the event. The road crew brought a couple of new products, including Biker Budz, and are watching what the customer reactions are like to making sure Harley hard bags are well protected. We get updates from the rally on our friend Facebook site, and there have been some great photos of bikers and music from down South.

Currently, Stephanie, Debbie and Chick are contacting folks about our Safety Special, and the assembly team is scrambling to get a large number of the Highway Mounts and Pegs packaged up and out the door. The manufacturing group is pounding out a record number of our famous Hitch Tongues, and generally updating all of our machining programs.

We haven't started carting in wood for the trusty cast iron stove, but there's a nip in the air every morning now, and the Wisconsin bikers that drop in are beginning to bundle up.

The Fall Scramble

September is just flying by and the shop is noisy. Finishing up a new product, designed to help protect the hard-working and beautiful hard bags so many of our customers and friends have on their motorcycles. Assembly is also packaging up some new electrical components for trailering. Also, a new video is being shot for the High Seas Cruise Rally in November - more about that later.

The semi-trailer showroom is getting inventoried and spruced up for the Blues, Bikes and Barbeque Rally in Fayetteville, Arkansas, September 26 through 29. Only ten years old, this rally is said to be the largest that benefits local charities. Along with great food, music and events for ever larger biker crowds, this rally is family friendly and welcomes children.




Also, here are some photos of fellow Wisconsinite Gary, who won a set of our Harley air horns from the local Love Run raffle, Matti from Finland who installed our risers on his Rocket III, and a recent shot of the shop's mascot, a vintage Ural. Enjoy!
