Dear Jack ,
Welcome to the first Classic Bike Experience newsletter. Many of you (actually most of you, if my math is correct) have asked to be on our mailing list, so don't click on the SPAM filter just yet!
This
mail service is called Constant Contact and you can receive all of our
emails, or just things you might be interested in, like bikes that
become available at our shop on consignment, or upcoming events like a
Spring Open House when riding season finally arrives (as I write this
it is supposed to be 5 below for the next few days here in northern
Vermont).
Each newsletter will include some updates on
our shop along with a blurb or two about a project bike and/or
customer, "new" bikes that we are listing, possibly some of our
vendors/partners, upcoming events/shows and so on.
Importantly,
we encourage you to forward this newsletter to anyone interested in
Classic Bikes, where they can in turn sign up. We are a
relatively lean operation and this will be one of our primary marketing
tools to stay in touch with the Classic Bike customer base and
interested folks. You are currently signed up for the three
categories of mailings we now have:
* General Interest
* Newsletter
* Newly Available Bikes (ie consignment bikes pop up regularly and we will send communications out for each new listing)
If
you want to change which communications you receive, simple click on
the "Join Our Mailing List" button to the left and follow directions.
We also appreciate one
man's passion is another man's spam, so you can rest assured that if
you elect to be deleted from our mailing list by using the unsubscribe
feature, we won't bug you again. Many email systems distort the
images. The newsletter is best viewed using the webpage version
link at the top.
Mark
you calenders for Saturday, January 31st at the Sheraton Burlington for
the Vermont Maturity Magazine 50+ and Baby Boomer show. We will
be there with bells on ready to talk bikes rather than retirement
communities :)
Best to you from the Classic Bike Experience gang.
Jack

What's New at CBE
 Hey...the
biggest news is that we are OPEN for Business! Nothing like
starting a new venture in the middle of the biggest global economic
meltdown since the Great Depression. But, based on the turnout we
had for the OPEN HOUSE on Dec 6th (above) and calls, email and shouts
in the street, we seem to be off to a good start. We've had many
helping hands along the way and thanks to all. There are two
things you can do to help us going in to 2009: pass this
newsletter along to anyone you know who might have the slightest
interest in old Brit bikes and, well, you know, BUY SOME STUFF.
Cheers for the New Year.

Customer Profile - John's 1970 Commando
John H from Rhode Island contacted us about his 1970 Commando and liked
the idea of participating in doing an assessment and restoration
plan. He drove 6 hours, stayed overnight and arrived with his
Norton stuffed in the back of his Subaru the next morning. He
spent a delightful morning going through the bike with Welby and
Nick. John left with an agreed to plan for the restoration as
well as a pile of parts he'll be working on himself. Good, clean
(well, a bit grungy actually) fun and his bike should be ready for
spring riding. Thanks John!

Featured Consignment Bike - Triumph Royal Wedding
 We
have coined this bike "The Gentleman's Express". A truly unique
Classic Brit bike. Only 250 of the Royal Wedding edition bikes
were made: 125 to the US and 125 for the home UK market to
commemorate the wedding of Charlies and Diana. This bike is a
masterpiece that has been modified by a true craftsman to add
reliability, durability, long legs and comfort all in one
package. Or, you can go back to stock with the original parts if
that is your fancy. Check out the details on our website and
associated Shutterfly posting.
