forward to providing you with a genuine opportunity to get the most out of your motorcycle experience, and stay informed on issues that matter to owners of Honda Powersports Vehicles. Bene4ts Reminder for Owners of Honda Motorcycles, ATV 9s, Off Road Vehicles and Scooters. I often run into owners who have forgotten what a great deal they received when they purchased their new Honda motorcycle, scooter, ATV or watercraft. I am referring to the 1 year complimen- tary membership in the HRCA (Honda Rider 9s Club of America). The member beneLts are too many to list here, but I will highlight the ones that riders mention as being most valuable and helpful. New for 2007, our Monthly Ride Out In Search of the Best Hot Dog!! Starting in April, (weather permitting), we will have a ride on the second Wednesday of each month. The ride will meet at Des Plaines Honda at 6pm, clutch out at 6:30 pm, and riders may join us in a group ride or ride on their own to the destination. This years theme will be, cIN SEARCH OF THE BEST HOT DOG! d We will be looking for the Best Hot Dog within 1 hours ride of the store. After a few bites on the bow-wows, we will be giving away some prizes. Riders will register for the giveaways at the store from 6pm to 6:30, just before we leave on the ride. Got any ideas for an exceptional hot dog destination, let us know and we will check it out.
