It won't let me correct the title.

Just a heads up. I just picked up a spare set of Bridgestone Excedras front (120/70ZR/19) and rear (180/55ZR/18) For a total of $218.98 to my door

I have 7k on the set of Bridgstones I am currently running, and have no problem other than I don't think I'll make 10k on this set due to my heavy right hand with the Turbo. ]]> VRSC General Hal64hd http://www.v-nation.com/forums/vrsc-general/9110-bridgestone-tire-sale-rocky-mountain.html Ad agency drops HD http://www.v-nation.com/forums/vrsc-general/9109-ad-agency-drops-hd.html Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:15:11 GMT Ad Agency Drops Harley-Davidson Due To Slow Sales September 1, 2010 by Emily Fredrix, AP Marketing Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Harley-Davidson... Ad Agency Drops Harley-Davidson Due To Slow Sales


September 1, 2010

by Emily Fredrix, AP Marketing Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Harley-Davidson Inc.'s main ad agency for more than three decades has dropped the struggling motorcycle maker in favor of new business.

Ad agency Carmichael Lynch, a unit of Interpublic Group, said many factors went into the decision, including the fact that the Milwaukee-based motorcycle maker has slashed its marketing spending in recent years amid slumping sales.

Carmichael Lynch President Doug Spong said Harley-Davidson was also never a big spender on traditional advertising.

According to Kantar Media, Harley-Davidson spent about $11 million on television ads and other measured media last year, half its spending from 2007.

"It got to the point where we no longer felt we could take that brand forward," Spong said.

Although Harley-Davidson isn't a big spender on traditional media, the brand is one of the best known in the world with a loyal legion of fans who don the company's black-and-orange logo.

The company's fans may be fervent but its sales are not as people focus on necessities in the economic downturn. Harley-Davidson has been restructuring for more than a year. Last month it said sales of its motorcycles continued to fall in the second quarter, though the pace of declines eased. Worldwide retail sales fell 5.5 percent, a less-steep drop than the 18 percent first-quarter decline.

Harley-Davidson began its relationship with Minneapolis-based Carmichael Lynch in 1979 and had been the firm's second-oldest client.

The company said in a statement it has a big roster of ad agencies, and Chief Marketing Officer Mark-Hans Richer said the company feels good about its creative direction. It is making progress reaching new consumers including women and younger people. And it is shifting its marketing to more agencies as it goes after new riders in new ways, including online and through social networks.

"We haven't tried to be all things to all people," Richer said. "We tried to be what we are to more people and we're making progress on that front."

Carmichael Lynch, which has Subaru as a client, gave Harley its 90-day notice last Friday. That means the ties will be severed in late November.

Harley-Davidson said it will not conduct an agency review process or look to replace Carmichael Lynch.

Spong said none of the firm's 250 employees would be cut because their work would be shifted to new accounts, which he declined to name. ]]> VRSC General RC4MAN http://www.v-nation.com/forums/vrsc-general/9109-ad-agency-drops-hd.html 08 H-D nightrod special (VRSCDX) http://www.v-nation.com/forums/classified-sale/9108-08-h-d-nightrod-special-vrscdx.html Wed, 01 Sep 2010 03:40:22 GMT I have for sale my Vrod.

I have heard the slipper is a bit noisier than the stock and I noted this when first installed. Lately it seems to be getting louder especially on deceleration. It is getting so loud I can hear it over my v-modded pipes.

Just why does a clutch produce clattering noise and how can I minimize it? Whats going on here?

Noise is most pronounced in the 2500-3500 RPM range. ]]> VRSC General Rustyg http://www.v-nation.com/forums/vrsc-general/9107-slipper-clutch-noise.html RedHeadWitch...tragic. http://www.v-nation.com/forums/rider-down/9106-redheadwitch-tragic.html Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:03:03 GMT Horrible news for 1130cc.com members.
