Mustang is on the move… literally. In addition to adding staff, expanding existing seat ranges for Gold Wings, doubling up on offerings for Victory and introducing an all-new line of replacement seats for Triumphs, Mustang has moved, at least the sales and marketing departments, that is. No more in a satellite office in Terryville, Connecticut, sales and marketing are now located in the original factory in Three Rivers, Massachusetts. “The goal was to bring all of Mustang’s offices under one roof,” explains Marketing Director Marilyn Simmons. “We needed to unplug for a couple of days in order to bring our state-of-the-art call center on line, but we are back up and running full steam ahead! With the notable exception of our big rig crew out at the rallies, our entire team is now in the same New England town we have been in since the company was founded back in 1980.” The reasons for upgrading the historic old factory outweighed the investment. “A benefit of bringing sales, marketing, R&D and manufacturing together is that we can greatly accelerate the time it takes to bring a new seat to market,” says Simmons. “Good thing, too! Mustang is already beta testing the first custom seat program ever offered in our 33 year history.” “We also rolled out a range of seats for Triumph’s Bonneville and Thunderbird models… and that is just the tip of the iceberg,” suggests Simmons. “The synergy of having all of us under one roof cannot be underestimated. What used to take weeks of back-and-forth e-mails can now be resolved face-to-face in a matter of minutes, which will really streamline the product development cycle.” The launch of the new logo last fall and the new big rig being unveiled during Daytona Bike Week was a signal that a revitalized, […]

This past weekend British artists Jamie Wardley and Andy Moss accompanied by numerous volunteers, took to the beaches of Normandy with rakes and stencils in hand to etch 9,000 silhouettes representing fallen people into the sand. Titled The Fallen 9000, the piece is meant as a stark visual reminder of the civillians, Germans and allied forces who died during the D-Day beach landings at Arromanches on June 6th, 1944 during WWII. The original team consisted of 60 volunteers, but as word spread nearly 500 additional local residents arrived to help with the temporary installation that lasted only a few hours before being washed away by the tide.

  By Frankie Barbato/Daily News Correspondent The MetroWest Daily News   BOSTON — Even though he was injured in a motorcycle accident, Rick Gleason thinks that Massachusetts motorcyclists should have a choice about wearing a helmet. Gleason, who started riding motorcycles behind his father at age 5, testified Tuesday on behalf of the Massachusetts Motorcycle Association in support of legislation that would lift the state’s requirement that all motorcyclists wear helmets. “The bills in no way direct you to not wear a helmet, they just give you a choice,” he said. The Legislature’s Joint Committee on Transportation is considering two separate bills that would make helmet use optional. One, filed, by state Rep. Marc Lombardo, D-Billerica, would require riders and passengers under the age of 18 to wear a helmet; the other submitted by state Rep. Anne Gobi, D-Spencer, would set mandatory helmet use under the age of 21. Both lawmakers filed their bills at the request of constituents. Gleason said the choice of to wear a helmet goes beyond issues of personal safety, noting that the state could be losing revenue from motorcyclists who often choose to ride their motorcycles in states other than Massachusetts that don’t require helmets. Instead of driving a motorcycle to vacation on Cape Cod, for example, he argued that motorcyclists now ride to places such as New Hampshire that do not mandate helmets. Massachusetts has required helmets for both drivers and passengers of any age since 1998. There are about 400,000 registered motorcycles in the state. Testifying against the proposal, Thomas Higbee, a former police officer from Florida, spoke to his own experience riding motorcycles. “(Without a helmet) you’re unprotected whether you are an adult or a kid,” he said. Higbee, now of Medfield, suffered a traumatic brain injury in 1993 while wearing a helmet
