Mobility Conquest Motorcycle from Ride-Away

Hersey — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 14:31:38 +0000

I received this from a local consultant from Ride-Away and thought it was very interesting.

As the leader in providing mobility to people with disabilities, Ride-Away sees this motorcycle as the biggest leap from products that our clients need, to a product that excites the senses. We want to be in the forefront of providing a product that dramatically raises the quality of life for people with special challenges and this bike is fast, sexy, and promotes the feeling of independence on the road. With the Martin Conquest derived from a BMW motorcycle, we are thrilled to continue to promote the automotive evolution for people with disabilities from big van, to minivan, to 3 wheel motorcycle.

Contact Arthur Joseph Arrage at Ride-Away for more information – Phone (757)455-9889

I am forwarding you an article about the motorcycle, which is called The Conquest. We have been offering it about a year now. Ride-away itself has been in operations since 1986. We have (12) offices up and down the East coast, with Headquarters in New Hampshire. We have two offices in Virginia, one in Norfolk, which is where I am located and one in Richmond. Both locations have a showroom and garage.

I am also attaching a Ride-Away Fact Sheet. It gives a good summary of what we do. Again, if anyone has any questions or perhaps contacts you through your webiste, they are welcome to call me at anytime. We are able to transport vehicles or motorcycles(and there is even a pick up truck on the market now which is newer than the motorcycle) between our offices and even to anywhere in the country.

Please let me know if you need anything else from me. This is such a wonderful opportunity! My General Manager, Joy Darr and even our Corporate expressed excitement and gratitude for this opportunity.

We are located at 2424 Castleton Commerce Way, Suite 1101 in Virginia Beach off of London Bridge Road. We offer custom powder coating for motorcycles, lawn furniture, metal bedroom furniture, Nerf bars, vehicle rims, valve covers, car and truck bumpers and a whole lot more. Being riders ourselves, we know how particular other riders are about their bikes and how they want their bikes to look. We take the extra time to make your parts look just right. We take pride in our work-so you can take pride in your bike. We donated our powder coating services for the Susan G. Komen bike that is being raffled off this summer(2010).

Come by the shop to see all the colors and textures that are available. Check out the metallics, flip-flops, neons, candies, and even glow in the dark colors. Some of the best things about powder coating parts that you already own is that you know that it will fit, you can choose any color you want and you won’t have any old parts laying around collecting dust and cluttering up your garage.

Call us anytime at 757-406-2922 and talk to Jim. We open at 10 am and are usually here until 8 pm or later Monday through Saturday or just give us a call and we can make other accommodations to fit your time schedule.

2010 Bike Tour Drawing Visitors

Hersey — Tue, 11 May 2010 00:26:48 +0000

Motorcyclists from throughout the state have been roaring into Martinsville for about a month, and a local tourism official is rolling out the welcome mat.

Martinsville is participating in a program called the Motorcycle Grand Tour of Virginia, said Jennifer Doss, director of tourism for the Martinsville-Henry County Economic Development Corp. (EDC). Managed by the Governor’s Motorcycle Council of Virginia, the tour includes more than 80 sites throughout the state.

For each site they visit between April and November, enrolled motorcyclists receive a stamp for passports they carry with them, Doss said. The stamps can be redeemed for prizes, including a grand prize vacation package for two to Virginia Beach.

Received this from a reader looking for scenic rides in West VA and VA.

Anyone have any good suggestions for them?

My wife and I will be traveling through West Virginia and Virginia on our way to Rolling Thunder in Washington DC, May 22nd and our question is…can you recommend any beautiful, scenic motorcycle rides or roads we could take on the way down? We will be headed toward Manassas where my brother lives.

I would appreciate any suggestions you may have.
Thank you in advance! Keep the rubber side down! Steel
