Open Road Cyles

Time to change the oil in your cycle? We use Spectro 20W/50 synthetic oil, the better choice to make sure your engine runs smooth. This month, get your oil changed for $59.95.

If you’re thinking about switching out some new bars on your ride, or want to add some accessories, Open Road Cycles can get you what you’re looking for. We work directly with Vance & Hines, and Drag Specialties. We will also begin to work with Rinehart Pipes so keep your eye on our blog to find out when that happens.

AJ is still detailing so if you need to get that ride looking all shiny and new, give us a call. We use Spectro bike wash which has a 9.3 ph balance.

Attention motorcyclists! Please mark your calendars. You are all invited to attend Crusing For A Cure IV on April 17th, 2010. This show is open to all cars, trucks and motorcycles. The show will be staged at the Lincolnton High School in Lincolnton, NC. Plaques will be awarded to the top 40 vehicles along with one People’s Choice Award, and goodie bags will be given out to the first 50 registrants.

Registration for the event will begin at 9am on April 17th at the show. If you would like to preregister, or donate, online you can do so at http://cruisingforacure.info/pre-registration.htm. Preregistration will be open until April 9th, 2010. T-Shirts are available for $15 and can be purchased with your preregistration.

Crusing For A Cure is organized by Anne and Tim Willis of the Carolina PT Cruisers group. In 2003 Tim lost one of his cousins, Renee Willis Anthony, to Ovarian Cancer. She was only in her early forties. Then towards the end of the year Anne was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer at 39. Anne underwent successful treatment and is currently in good health. After this Anne and Tim decided to organize the Crusing For A Cure shows to help raise awareness and donations for Relay For Life and The American Cancer Foundation.

Almost all of us have had relatives or friends who have battled cancer. By supporting the Cruise For A Cure IV show you can help in the fight against this terrible disease. All proceeds from the show will go directly to the Relay For Life and The American Cancer Foundation.

Open Road Cycles will be sponsoring Tuesday night Bike Nights at The Naked Oyster starting in March.

Come on out and join us at the Naked Oyster Raw Bar on Tuesday nights starting at 6pm.

Naked Oyster is located at 7913 Natalie Commons Drive in Denver, NC. Check out their MySpace page.

It’s already mid February here in North Carolina and we’ve seen some pretty strange weather over the past few months. Between the rain and the snow the roads have been kinda scary from time to time. If you’ve been out there you know what we’re talking about. And if you’re out there riding on old balding tires you’re taking taking a big risk. So we’re bringing back our low Tire Sale prices once again. Plus, when you Buy Two Tires, we will install the second one FOR FREE!! That’s a $30 Savings!

Have you changed your oil in the past 6 months? Oil Changes for only $49.95. We use Spectro 20W/50.

Call Leo or AJ for more information at 704.489.1100

Bikes gathered in front of Open Road Cycle for the Toys for Tots run

The 1st Annual Toys For Tots charity run, sponsored by the Open Road Riderz riding group, was held on Sunday, December 6th 2009 in Denver, North Carolina. A total of 122 registrations were collected prior to the start of the run, but it was reported that some riders had not register, bringing the total to approximately 147. All riders, even the unregistered ones, brought toys, which went towards the local chapter of the Toys for Tots program. Additional collection boxes were located around town. In all, 328 toys were collected. The $2430 raised will be sent to the Wounded Warriors fund.

Although the weather was a little chilly in the low 40’s, the ride was great as the group wound it’s way down Highway 16, up 73 through Lincolnton and then back down 150 to 16 where we finally ended up at The Naked Oyster. There were no problems with traffic along the way, thanks to the help of the Denver Firemen, Lincoln County Sheriffs, and our own staff and volunteer ‘blockers’. Oncoming traffic often stopped to watch the parade pass them by and people waved from their yards and alongside the road.

The after event, sponsored by The Naked Oyster and Full Throttle magazine was enjoyed by all. Everyone was really happy to get off their bikes and into the warmth of the Naked Oyster. A meal of BBQ, hot dogs, hamburgers and coleslaw, and assorted deserts, was served to all of the riders.

Open Road Cycles, Open Road Riderz Riding Group would like to thank everyone who helped make this event a success. We are looking forward to making next years event even bigger and better. Keep checking this blog for updates throughout the year as we bring you more information on next years run, as well as other charity runs we are planning.
