Join the Club!

Sometimes you want to go out an ride, or talk about riding motorcycles, or talk about fixing motorcycles or just talk motorcycles, and you don’t have anyone around. Maybe your spouse is tired of the subject, and the dog can’t be found, what do you do?

You can join the Pete’s Cycle Rider’s Club of Baltimore!

Pete’s Cycle sponsors this motorcycling riding club which is sanctioned by the Honda Riders Club of America, but don’t think because you ride a different bike you won’t be welcome – we invite riders of all brands and types of bikes to join.

The riding club is comprised of people who love to go out and ride motorcycles – and talk about them when they’re not riding. It’s an excellent way to gain knowledge about motorcycles, and make new friends who are interested in the same thing you are.

The membership cover all ages and experience levels – from the newbie who just bought her first bike to the veteran who’s seen his fair share of miles on the open road. Riding with the club members gives you the chance to experience new places to ride, and expand your world.

The club meets every second Thursday of the month at Pete’s Cycle on 7511 Belair Road in Baltimore – and there’s a special club ride the first Sunday of each month. You don’t need an invitation to join, just show up and we’ll be happy to include you.

You can get club updates in two separate places – by calling 410-288-7550 or visiting our website online.

Work & Play With A Utility Vehicle

If you’re a fan of motorcycles, you’re used to getting on your bike or ATV and going out to enjoy yourself. There’s nothing better than hitting the open road or a woodsy trail to forget about the stress of work.

Pete’s Cycles has another way for you to play, and in some cases work, and still enjoy the freedom and fun of a motorcycle. They’re called utility vehicles and are available from the leading names in the motorcycle business, like Kawasaki, Yamaha and Suzuki.

Each of these vehicles is designed for the rugged demands of outdoor work and play – and they also function as excellent sources of transportation if you’re an avid hunter or fishermen transporting supplies and gear over a long distance.

Kawasaki’s offerings are tough, dependable and ready for anything you can throw at them. Divided into two classes, the first is known as the RUV and is perfect for someone who wants to have fun while they work. The Utility line, affectionately known as The Mule, are brawnier and sport a beefier design and ability to move heavy loads – along with up to four people.

The Polaris lineup is one of the deepest on the market, and includes models such as the Ranger for riders who need a workhorse to the Ranger RZR, a vehicle built for speed and fun. There’s also an entry for the youth market, and includes a parent-adjustable speed limiter and many other safety features. Limited Editions, in a variety of builds and colors, are also available for the dedicated enthusiast.

While Suzuki has only one utility vehicle, you can expect the same dedication to quality and craftsmanship in the Q.U.V. An advanced suspension system soaks up the bumps while pickup truck styling make it easy on the eyes – along with four wheel drive.

As anyone would suspect, the Yamaha contribution to this class of vehicles, the Rhino, combines the beauty of excellent engineering with the muscle of Yamaha’s engine and transmission. The Rhino is built for two and has adjustable piggyback shocks.

Working doesn’t have to be all about work – you can always inject some play so that the day goes by faster – and when you’re using any of these vehicles you’ll be taking advantage of industry knowledge and experience to make the job easier.

Our 6th Annual Mason-Dixon Motorcycle Run – June 5!

Pete’s Cycle is sponsoring its 6th Annual Mason Dixon Motorcycle Ride on Sunday, June 5 that will feature a brand new route and new roads.

We’re teaming up with Pete’s Baltimore RAT Pack and heading through scenic Maryland and southern Pennsylvania for a day of riding for a great cause, Camp Sunrise.

Here’s the deal, grab your street bike – we don’t care if it’s a Honda, Kawasaki, Triumph, Harley or Indian – and head on over to our Pete’s Cycle location on 7511 Belair Road. Registration begins at 8 and we ride at 9!

The run takes us through northern Maryland and then through some of the Civil War sites such as:
• Gettysburg
• Antietam
• South mountain Battlefield
• Harpers Ferry
• Monocacy Battlefield

The cost for registration is $10 per bike and there’s no additional cost for passengers. Before we ride, we’ll hold a raffle for all participants, with some very cool prizes.

Half of the proceeds we raise will go to benefitting Camp Sunrise. Pete’s is a supporter of Camp Sunrise throughout the year, and we hold events like this to raise money, and awareness, for this cause.

In addition to seeing some of the most beautiful scenery in the area, your participation will help out kids who are already struggling with some very serious health problems.

We hope to see you out there – if you have any questions you can call 410-663-8556 or email BaltimoreRAT@aol.com.

See you on Sunday!
