Fleetwood’s Kit Kat

Alright we got a good little change of pace.  We moved our weekly ride to this Saturday at 7 pm and unless you have your own cruiser, we are tapped out on our rental fleet (they’ve all been reserved).  We are going to visit Crush Wine Bar on Knox Street.  My sister, Kerri Arista, is performing live music for free and I’m sure a few people will enjoy that with a glass of wine!  Afterwards (around 8:45) we’ll take off for a ride down to Victory Park.  Should be a little cooler.  Even if you don’t have a bike, feel free to join us at the Wine Bar!!!

We got our shipment of Hawk Classics in from Germany.  We are, literally, the only dealer selling these bikes anywhere in the USA.  They are made in Berlin, Germany and we currently have 9 of them in stock and on our floor.  They’re a little pricey ($850 to $1,200)  but very unique, high quality cruisers…… so pop in and check them out!

Two  of our favorite customers (Phillip and Rebel) surprised us with a badass li’l outdoor grill for the shop.  How thoughtful and I’d like to say a sincere thank you to them for pulling off such a cool gesture.  We are gonna start doing some cookouts in the parking lot after the rides so details on that  later.

Keep on Cruisin……

We did the Michael Jackson Tribute ride tonight.  Thanks to Harvey, Marc and Suzy for  takin’ care of bizness.  We had  Trista’s bike malfunction (it wasn’t her fault) but Harvey offered his own bike and handled it all professionally.  Harvey……you are Da Man!  

In brief….a phenomenal time.  Cruiser Bike riding is fun, but much funner with a good group..and even better when celebrating the life and music of the all-time greatest entertainer.  I installed an IPOD friendly speaker system on the back of my bike and one of our new customers (Jason Tucker) did the same.  We had the same playlist of legendary MJ songs and had them turned up for all to enjoy during the ride down the Katy Trail.  We popped into La Duni on McKinney (owned by renowned restauranteer Taco Borga) and took over their cozy bar area.  The service, drinks and atmosphere were great.  Perfect spot I think our group really mixed together well.  We’ll go back to La Duni again cause they treated us the way we wanna be treated!!

It was cool sharing the ride with my sis and her husband, Fermin.  She turned the big 4-0 this week and we pimped her out a sweet li’l Felt Flora with tires, chain, grips, basket, fenders, bell, and every other possible cute thing you could think of.  Its one of my favorite bikes we’ve ever done (cause we made a FELT look so much better than they can do it).  The icing on the cake is that Kerri  (my sis) gets to enjoy it + she was excited….  I’ll post a pic of this bike soon as I get a shot of it on my computer.

Last thing……According to Roni Proter (Channel 33 TV), our news piece will air Monday evening between 9 pm and 10PM.  I’m looking forward to seeing it.  Roni said its a great piece.  

Thanks everyone for coming to the MJ ride tonight.  I’m glad we got to share a li’l more of his magic with you.  His death showed me that we sometimes take things for granted.  Once something is gone, you realize how much you miss it.  To end on a positive note….Michael Jackson will live forever through his unique music.  His star will only grow bigger.
