CruiserCustomizing.com - Newsletter #083

Hi cruisers,

thank you for all your feedback and follow up to the "Big Ride" story in the previous newsletter. We received numerous stories from members telling us about their "Big Ride". Watch future newsletters for those stories.
Many members already noticed a new feature on the CruiserCustomizing website. For a couple of months we have been showing the stock availability status on the product pages.

Over the last year we had invested a lot of time and money in a completely new Website and order handling infrastructure. We reorganized our distribution center and integrated our systems with our worldwide accessory manufacturers and distribution partners.

We only had one goal in mind: to reduce the time it takes to get the products to your doorstep.

We feel the new system is pretty intuitive. Most products are in stock and usually ship the same business day:


Product that are in transit show the number of days before they can ship:


Products that are backordered by our suppliers show an estimated ship date based on when we expect to ship them from our distribution center:


I want to give credits to the CruiserCustomizing team that worked hard on getting this project completed: Alex Herrera, our "IT God" for the technical implementation and Eric Johnson, our "Operations Guru", for developing and fine tuning the system every day.

By the way, Eric just recently became a new rider and purchased a shiny new Vulcan 900 Custom. We'll follow up soon with a story. Also, Jerry, our long time employee in the distribution center finally got the "chrome bug". He completed his riding school and purchased a brand new black Yamaha Vstar 1300. You should see the smile in his face every morning when he pulls up in the parking lot. Priceless!!!

Don't forgot to checkout the specials and promotions below. If you are looking to get a windshield to extend your riding season, now is great time. Get a free windshield bag when you purchase any windshield from us.

As always, please let us know your comments and feedback.

Ride warm and safe

Celebrate Independence


Motorcycling and the quest for freedom go hand in hand. In fact it's safe to say that the motorcycle industry as it exists today was born from this quest and the wars that resulted.

WWI and WWII gave the biggest boost ever to motorcycling. They played a major role in the rise of motorcycling around the world. For me motorcycles would have to be near the top of the list of good things that grew out of war because they provide me and many others with a physical expression of the freedom and independence that soldiers around the world fight so hard for.

Customizing


by Dimitra Schonekas

Apparently those who know me would say that I wear my heart on my sleeve when it comes to how much I love my bike. That may be true. I have many riding buddies who have a bike, bought a second bike, traded in a bike, got another bike. My ride is one and only humble Yamaha V Star 650 Classic, that I have spent time (and will continue to) customizing it to fit and suit me and no one else.

In the beginning: My first bike was restricted by the 250cc max capacity for learner riders, before LAMS (Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme) came into effect in Victoria. I chose the Suzuki Intruder 250 LC. A great little cruiser bike that I was (and still am) attached to. I bought this bike with the thought that I would keep and ride it forever, because the size was extremely manageable for my small frame of under 5 feet tall. I was of the mind that I couldn't manage to ride anything bigger (read: taller, wider, heavier). Read More >>
