Memories from 2011

Another year has ridden on by and brought with it tons of new faces, happy memories and future fun. We are happy to be adding new motorcyclists on a daily basis to keep our motorcycle community growing and vibrant. Also equally important are the lifelong riders who have logged thousands if not hundreds of thousands of miles on roads of all kinds.

We are from all walks of life and we all have this thing in common called The Love of the Ride. Regardless of what type of bike you are on, when you pass another rider, throw out the biker wave. Because you are both out enjoying the same thing and that is worth the acknowledgment.

Lets take a look back over 2011 and see what we find.

Remember last January and our record snow fall? The year didnt get off on a great start for many people who had snow damage. But we still consider ourselves very lucky. And look at our mild winter we are having now, people have been riding everyday!

Saw great action at the Atlanta SuperCross! BE THERE BE THERE BE THERE!!!


Had to bid farewell and good luck to a few good WOW people who moved onto other states in search of new motorcycle adventures.

We had a wonderful year full of seminars and a great competition for perfect attendance by a handful of customers.
South Africa represented by these two couples.

2011 started our Eaglerider Rentals program. This has brought us so many people from all over the country and the world. It has been an honor to be able to facilitate so many dreams that people have of riding with family and friends.

We also get to see so many funny and curious things here at WOW. Here is Nick and Shorty Bates. Shorty is the furry one.

No excuse not to ride with this bike!

Another bike with no excuses. We met several people in 2011 taking journeys around the world on motorcycles. This one belongs to a Belgian guy who was making his way around the world on this bike. Makes the morning commute to work seem insignificant doesnt it?

A couple from Alpharetta took the GlobeBusters tour on a pair of Vstrom 650s. At the end of the trip, its hard to say who fared better, the bikes or the riders!!

Woke everyone up real early to come learn about the new Zero electric motorcycles we brought into WOW in September.

Our Zero demo days have been popular and let people get to feel the electric experience.

40,000 people gathered at the Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham Alabama for the Vintage Festival and Races. Look for an invitation from WOW this year to ride to the museum and check things out.

Start them early and let them have fun riding.

Our 20th Anniversary Open House was a wonderful day filled with good times and fun. It was one of the most memorable days of the year for us and we want to still thank everyone who came out that day.

Very special gift for the 20 years of WOW!

Big crowds to watch the great Stunt Show by Anger Management.


Certain people stand out throughout the year as just great all around people. Ken and JoAnna Murray have been guest speakers for the past few years now about improving riding skills and also integrating handgun instruction among other things into their business to help diversify their customer base but also bring it all back around to motorcycling.


We thank all the great people we have met over the years that keep our business going and we look forward to meeting many more in 2012.

Lets ride y'all!
