Hey all.  Sorry I haven’t posted in awhile.  Winter set in and I got a little lazy.  We wisely (ha! ha!) used the time to gather steam for our vigorous show season schedule.  We did do a couple of indoors shows during the winter months and did OK but we much prefer the outdoor rallies and events with bikes all around.  Website sales also kept us busy over the winter as did our customer support service for those that purchased “do it yourself” light kits.  (You know, it’s a great feeling to be on the phone with someone who bought your lights, installed them themselves, and had you on the phone when they hit the switch for the first time.)

We have done two terrific outdoor rallies so far this year; Geico’s Toys for Tykes and Troops in Virginia Beach, VA and Outer Banks Bike Week in Harbinger, NC.  Both were very successful events and we plan to return to them next year.  (I hate to say it but the problems with Myrtle Beach Bike Week and the decreasing attendance there probably had something to do with the attendance at the other “beach” rallies increasing).

So, we’re on a roll now and we’ll do a better job keeping you posted.  Thanks for checking in.

Well, Thunder in the Streets was just what the name implies.  The night before the event, the storms raged.  This waterfront park became a water park.  The streets were flooded and some of the vendor tents were either torn, upside down or gone.  We were fortunate in that we decided to wait until the following morning to set up.  For once procrastination paid off!  By noon the following day, the place was drying up and vendors dotted the landscape.  We were initially worried but, the show must go on (not a bad use of an old cliché’ huh?) and it did.

Soon to be “on the road again”…..

The Sanford BikeFest (Thunder in the Streets) in one of Florida’s many successful motorcycle events.  This year it will be held October 10-12, 2008 on the waterfront in Sanford, FL.

Wyked Illuzionz will join other food and motorcycle related vendors at Fort Mellon Park this year to sell and install LED lights on motorcycles.  Sanford is a great location for this event, as the surrounding community also offers a marina and river boat rides on the beautiful Lake Monroe (not to mention that it is beginning to get a little chilly up here).

We hope you will visit Wyked Illuzionz and the other motorcycle businesses at Fort Mellon Park in Sanford, FL during the 2008 BikeFest.

Seeya there!

P.S.  As always, we are accepting appointments for light installations during this event.

Well, we just got back from York, PA. This past weekend was the open house at the Harley Davidson plant. We were at the local Harley dealer, Laugerman’s. I have to say, we’ve been to a lot of Harley dealers in our time and this place has to be one of the greatest. It is family owned and operated and they are all so incredibly friendly (I know, I am beginning to sound like the leader of the Laugerman’s fan club but they never cease to amaze us).

Anyway, about the event……it rained and rained and rained so there is not a whole lot to say. The plant had to cancel the demo rides for most of the weekend. Despite the weather though, we did well. We lit up a fair amount of bikes and want to thank our customers that hung out in the rain while we did them.

We will definitely be returning to York next year, rain or shine.
