My message: Do not show up on a motorcycle because the WONT let you in. I drove from LA and am a moto-journalist doing a story…hell I didn't even know motorcycles are NOT ALLOWED!  Does this happen often I exclaimed… "All the time" the guard told me as he  pointed to the exit.   Thank you for taking the time to write to TripAdvisor.

  Lowbrow Customs continues to set the bar when it comes to presence, service, selection, and customer satisfaction. This proved true this month when a renovated website was released to widespread customer acclaim. "I have tried buying other places" said Chet McNeely of Ft. Wood, Nebraska, "but I simply couldn't figure it out. The internet can be a confusing place. I was able to find what I needed AND to purchase it at Lowbrow; I wouldn't go anywhere else." Those sentiments were echoed by Kilgore Trout of North Saskatoon, Canada when he exclaimed "I can buy cast aluminum seat pans and fabricator's bungs at any roadside stand, but they don't offer the top shelf service and stand behind their products like they do at Lowbrow. Those guys in the midwest really know how to make it happen." To become part of the fabric that weaves together this rag tag band of malcontents and miscreants go to your local public library and log on towww.lowbrowcustoms.com or call toll free 1-855-4LOWBROW.

My first ride was to Red Rock; only 20 miles from Las Vegas take the 215 Las Vegas beltway to Charleston Blvd (159). There is a $3.00 fee for motorcycles (and Trikes) and $7.00 per vehicle. A stunning 13 mile one way loop allows visitors to soak up the ocher of Red Rock. READ STORY

  RM Auctions, the world’s largest collector car auction house for investment-quality automobiles, continued its strong track record in Monterey, California, on the weekend, realizing a spectacular $95.7 million in total sales*, with a strong 89 percent of all lots sold. The impressive results represent the highest individual auction tally in RM’s history and, significantly, an almost 20 percent increase on last year’s record $80 million Monterey sale, albeit generated by a smaller offering; this year’s sale featured an elite, handpicked selection of 120 of the world’s finest automobiles compared to 144 motor cars offered at the 2011 sale. Illustrating RM’s expertise in the presentation and marketing of blue-chip automobiles at auction, as many as 20 vehicles realized million-dollar-plus results, with five lots achieving individual prices exceeding $5 million, and numerous new auction records set.

We look forward to continuing the momentum with our upcoming fall auctions in Hershey, Dallas, and London.” The event’s top seller was a1968 Ford GT40 Gulf/Mirage Lightweight Racing Car, P/1074, achieving a new world record for an American automobile sold at auction with a remarkable sales price of $11,000,000 (pictured above).

  As part of its annual summer sales meeting and its presence at the Sturgis®Motorcycle Rally, Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII), Victory Motorcycles and the Company’s dealers donated $154,125 to the Wounded Warrior Project™ (WWP). The donation was part of Polaris’ continuing relationship with the WWP, an organization that raises awareness and aids injured servicemen and women. Earlier this year, Polaris also gave away three special, blacked-out RANGER RZR XP 4 900 Side-by-Side vehicles to WWP veterans. “Our relationship with the Wounded Warrior Project allows Polaris and our dealers to support the men and women who selflessly sacrifice for our nation through their military service,” said Scott Wine, Polaris Industries CEO. “We consider it an honor and a privilege to partner with the Wounded Warrior Project, an organization that lends a hand to those who merit it most. We hope this donation helps these brave men and women return to the rich, active lives they truly deserve.” On the opening night of the Company’s summer sales meetings, Polaris announced it would donate $25 to WWP for each rider that rode an all-terrain vehicle or Side-by-Side at the Polaris demo track, a winding set of man-made dirt trails intended to provide dealers with a chance to experience riding the latest Polaris products. That promise led to $44,500 in donations, powered by more than 1,700 demo rides. The following week, at the 72nd edition of the legendary motorcycle rally at Sturgis, a year-long effort from Polaris-owned Victory Motorcycles and its dealers culminated when Steve Menneto, Polaris’ vice president of motorcycles, announced that Victory would contribute an additional $100,000 to WWP on the stage at the Buffalo Chip. The money represented an incredible number of demo rides conducted throughout the year at Victory dealerships as the brand challenged consumers with the phrase “Ride One and You’ll Own One,”
