But the holidays are coming. there are gifts that need to be purchased, and quite frankly,we are running out of shopping days! I truly hate it that malls and stores start playing Christmas music before Halloween, and they put up the decorations while the pumpkins are still on the sale rack. But the season is upon us.

The Value of Motocross in a Child's Life
Every kid needs a hobby, right? And this one is a little more expensive than some - but if compared to youth hockey, where you are paying for ice time and driving your child to practice at 5 a.m. - this is not THAT expensive. And what I have observed in the years we've had the privilege of watching our friends' son race Motocross are a bunch of kids who have a good work ethic, a good attitude and an appreciation for the sport.
They learn to respect the bikes, they respect each other, they respect the rules, they respect their parents - how many kids' hobbies bring that kind of character to a child?! Typically Motocross fans and racers are God-fearing people - they can be trusted around your things, and you need to be trusted around their things. Families set up camp in the race arena, they bring coolers and tool boxes and equipment and gear, and nothing ever goes missing.
Motocross fans and parents help each other out. The kids bond with other racers. They travel from race to race "together" and they learn to love the outdoors - not the video games. They stay in great physical shape because the bike demands it. And they are healthy in body, mind and spirit because they are involved in Motocross.
If you have little ones, and you are mechanically inclined, if you yourself ride and if you have the means, by ALL means, get your kids involved in Motocross - girls and boys alike. Outfit them with the proper safety gear, don't ever let them participate unprotected, and do one of the best things for your kids that you can do. Our boys participated in baseball and youth football and basketball clear through high school, and they learned some great life lessons from those team sports, but I have always been tremendously impressed when we have been fortunate enough to hang out with our Motocross "family."

The Texas Hill Country
The Hill Country Twister is a 40-mile ride with beautiful scenery and tw
ists and turns that will really keep you on your toes. Don’t forget your camera - this is exquisite beauty. Highway 16 ranks as a Top Ten favorite among motorcyclists. From Kerrville, head south on Highway 16 through Medina and ending at Bandera. From late May to the middle of June, you can enjoy the Kerrville Folk Festival, celebrating folk and country songwriters since 1972.
South of Kerr
ville, as you head south into the Medina River Valley, you will find Koyote Ranch Resort. At Koyote Ranch you’re as likely to see horseback riders as you are bikers. Hundred-year old oak trees line the road, bluebonnets cover the hills in the springtime, and you’ll cross the beautiful Medina River back and forth as you meander through the hills and valleys. As you travel further south to Medina, you can experience the Apple Festival and taste the best apple pie ever created.
From Medina, you’ll turn southeast on Highway 16 and the tour ends at Bandera, Texas, the “cowboy capital of the world.” In Bandera, there are B&Bs, dude and guest ranches, cabins, hotels, motels and RV parks for overnight accommodations. And the activities are as plentiful as the wildflower. Shop for antiques, take a horseback ride, take in a rodeo, visit historical sites and museums or venture off of Highway 16 for scenic drives. Year round there are exciting events to entertain the whole family. And dining establishments to meet any budget, any taste.
Highway 16 is a beautiful drive with switchbacks and turns rivaling any mountain road. However, the likelihood of finding deer and other wildlife on the road at daybreak and sundown is high. And this is NOT a ride for beginners. But if have some experience, and you are comfortable on your bike, this is must-see in southwest Texas.
Winter temps are moderate, with only an occasional snow or ice storm, so this area of the country is motorcycle-friendly almost year-round. Dress in layers, bring your cold gear and your heated gear, and all through the fall and winter months you can enjoy miles of God’s creative beauty across the rolling hills of southwest Texas. Come and ride the Lone Star state. And visit www.MotorcycleAccessoriesUnlimited.com for all of your gear and accessory needs before hitting the road!

Another Word on Motorcycle Safety
There is nothing quite like the freedom one feels on a motorcycle, a dirt bike, an ATV - the wind in your face, the sun overhead, and the wide open spaces or the road as your playground. But all too suddenly the fun, the freedom, the experience can come to a halt if one in your party is involved in an accident. The Transportation Safety Department reports annually on the increase in motorcycle accidents and fatalities, due mostly to the fact that more and more riders are taking to the streets and byways of this great nation without the proper safety gear.
I have
two friends personally who have laid their bikes down and suffered the consequences of riding unprotected. Of course, your head is the primary concern because a head injury can so easily be fatal. Please don't ride without a helmet, and don't let those you ride with ride without a helmet. A growing trend on the roads is to ride with a cute helmet, like a half helmet, a peanut helmet, but if you lay your bike down with that kind of a helmet, the risk is far greater that you will sustain an injury th
an if you wear a helmet like the one pictured above.But your legs, your arms and your trunk need protection as well. Thankfully both of my friends were wear helmets, but one sustained a nasty scrape, or road rash, as we call it, on her arm because it was a warm summer day, and they were just going for a short ride, and they didn't wear sleeves of any type. It might be hot, but better hot than raw.
Visit www.MotorcycleAccessoriesUnlimited.com for all of your motorcycle or ATV needs. We carry a full line of riding gear and accessories, for Motocross, for the casual rider, and for those who love the back country. And our prices are 15-20% retail.
The Majestic Colorado River in Southeast Utah
A true vacation destination is Moab, Utah, and the surrounding canyons of the Colorado River, which runs through this area. From I-70, you'll go south on Highway 128, traveling along the river and through some of the most majestic scenery to Moab. Canyon walls reach to the sky on both sides, giving you somewhat of a tunnel experience. This area is known for its Arches National Monument (right), providing beautiful photos for keepsakes. Moab has all of the amenities you might require, so we recommend a few days, an overnight stay and taking time to really enjoy what God has given us in Southern Utah.
Moab is rich in history and culture, but its greatest attraction is its beauty. Some specific sites to see while in the area
include Devils' Garden (right), the Delicate Arch and Needles Overlook.There is simply no way to take this all in in one day, but if you can spend a few romantic days and nights in the desert of Southeast Utah, you will not only rekindle your relationship, but you will experience all that this area has to offer.
Fall is upon us - if you go this year, prepare for cool nights and evenings, as the desert cools after dark. Dress in layers, and bring cold-weather or heated gear to keep yourself comfortable. Bring your camera, bring your ATVs for some off-road fun, and spend some time with us.

Motorcycle Destinations in Southern Utah
From east to west across Southern Utah is a motorcyclist's dream - the flat, open roads, rather light traffic, and beauty as far as the eye can see! This area plays host to a variety of different vistas, sure to satisfy the mountain lover as well as the cactus fan as well as the lake lover. Zion National Park is one such destination we recommend, and we recommend Kolob Reservoir Road - the road less traveled. This road keeps you out of the crowds who come to Zion, and at the same time, it gives you quick access to wonderful views of the cliffs, valleys, canyons and mountains that make up Zion National Park. Drive to the highest point in the Park, Lava Point. And from there you can see the meadowlands and the woodlands of this beautiful National Park. This is a ride providing great solitude and quiet away from the crowds - a romantic destination indeed!
To access Kolob Reservoir Road, go east on Highway 9 from I-15 at Washington, UT, just north of St. George. Travel east to Virgin, and then head north on Kolob Reservoir Road. There are not a lot of amenities after leaving Virgin, so pank your lunch, fill your tank, and make this a day trip you will remember forever.
Continue east of Virgin, UT, through Rockville and Springdale to the intersection with Highway 89, which runs along the southern edge of Zion National Park, taking you through Zion Canyon (right.) The spires in this park stretch heavenward all along the river, providing beautiful photo opportunities, great hiking, and romantic spots to enjoy creation together. The apple orchards of the valley provide a very pleasant aroma in season. This is truly one of the most picturesque destinations in all of Southern Utah - the limestone canyon walls as colorful as the rainbow.
The crowds will be lighter during the week than on the weekend, and the amenities are plentiful with places to eat, places to shop, gas sations, and overnight accommodations to fit any budget.
