Happy New Year from your friends at Great Bay Motorcycles!

We wish you and yours a fabulous, most awesome 2013. We are certainly looking forward to a great one here.

I was struck by how many friends and customers commented on how they were so happy about the arrival of 2013. Many of them seemed really pleased to close out 2012 and open a new chapter in their lives with the New Year. Let us hope that 2013 proves to be a fabulous year for all of us.

Today, the sun is shining and we are definitely in the midst of an early January thaw. Hopefully, this will herald an early arrival of spring and riding season. This morning the weather report stated that we might see 50 degrees on Saturday, and that is definitely riding weather.

The photo below is of our new "open" flag. The old one was weathered and faded, so my wife bought this for the shop to help keep sunshine on our minds.

 

New bikes are beginning to trickle in and the arrival of the new 2013 Triumph Trophy SE and the revised 2013 Ducati Multistrada S Touring mark the beginning of the flow with plenty of other new and exciting models in the pipeline. You can expect to also see the new Triumph Street Triple on the showroom floor by this weekend.

If it hits the expected 50 degrees this Saturday we will have the bikes out and be ready to demo them, but don't stop in to ride a Zero electric motorcycles, they will be on display at the Boston Motorcycle Expo.

Cheers to a fabulous 2013!

So, why would anyone consider buying a bike in the winter in northern New England?

From my perspective there are some very good reasons.

• First and foremost you can get a super low preseason price on any motorcycle in stock, especially on any 2012 models. How low? Stop in or call us to find out.   
• Second, you don't need to worry about taking delivery of your new machine now if you don't want to, we will be happy to store it for you and set it up at no charge when the time is right for you to ride it.    
• Third, you can take advantage of any our manufacturers' current promotions.    
• Fourth, if you have a trade in we are anxious to take it now. Let us know what you have, and we will give you a solid quote. We want your trade-ins.    
• Finally, you lock in your savings and know with confidence that come spring you made a financially prudent decision all while you are riding the new bike of your dreams.

Consider Ducati's latest promotions:

• Zero down payment and Ducati making the first three payments on all 2012 1199 Panigale models. (We have a sweet 1199 S ABS in the showroom now and an 1199 standard demo unit that both qualify).
• How about 1.49-1.99% APR on the fastest zero to 60 mph bike we have ever sold? All 2012 Ducati Diavel models including the cool Chromo and up spec Carbon models are available under this promo.
• Finally, Ducati is offering great rates starting at only 4.75% with just 10% down on all other Ducati models like Monsters and Multistradas making owning a Ducati easier than ever before.

Triumph has re-upped two programs that many customers took advantage of last year.

• Thank a Hero Program offers up to $500.00 off Triumph motorcycles purchased by former or active military service members. What a great way to say thank you for your service.
• Triumph New Rider Training Program offers reimbursement for new rider training classes when a new Triumph is purchased within 6 months of successfully completing a basic rider training course.
