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.

‘Holiday Laps’ At VIR Adds Raffle For Ride Along With ASRA Thunderbike Champion Kern

Hersey — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 02:03:45 +0000

DANVILLE, VA. – VIRginia International Raceway has teamed with ace motorcycle racer Nate “N8!” Kern to offer fans an additional thrill at the day-long November 14 Holiday Laps charity event which starts at 9:00 in the morning and winds down at 4:00 that afternoon.

Nate has offered to bring his Morton’s BMW of Fredericksburg race bike, equipped for a passenger, plus leathers and helmet, and raffle off the ride of a lifetime to some lucky person. “It will actually be on the R1200S I won the National ASRA Pro Thunderbike Championship this season on,” announced Kern. Joining with Sasco’s Dave Handy, who is raffling a ride in his 1968 McLaren M6B Can-Am racer, Nate is just another of the local favorites who have stepped up to make the 2008 Holiday Laps bigger and better than ever before.

Thousands of BMW Motorcycles Recalled

Hersey — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:23:23 +0000

All 2007 and 2008 F800 S and F800 ST BMW motorcycles have been recalled for problems with the fuel system, gas delivery, hoses, lines, piping and fittings. At high temperatures the fuel tank can actually deform, which could cause the bottom of the tank to rub against the rear wheel. It is possible that this could result in fire.

BMW has also recalled K1200 GT and K1200 S 2008 model motorcycles for brake issues. The fasteners used to attach the front brake disc may be too short, which could cause it to loosen over time. A poorly mounted break could increase the risk of a crash.

The R1200 GS and several other models of motorcycles have also been recalled by BMW this week. If you have a 2007 or a 2008 BWM motorcycle, call their hotline at 800-831-1117 for more information about these recalls.
