Can-Am I Am!

The beauty of the motorcycle market is there is something for everyone – whether it’s a sleek, screaming street bike or a muddy ATV that churns up the trails – no matter what you want, Pete’s can help you out.

In an effort to make sure our customers get what they want, we’re happy to carry the popular line of Can-Am three-wheel motorcycles. You might have seen the commercials on television, or seen a picture on our Facebook page, but you can’t truly appreciate these beauties until you see them in person.

And then climb aboard one for a test ride. After that, you’ll be sold!

We carry two different models of the Can-Am: the RT Roadster and the RS Roadster. The RT is designed for the rider who wants to go out on the open highway and travel for miles in comfort and style.

Offering the same size engine and manual transmission, the RS Roadster has the heart of a racer and the body of an athlete. Stylized lines combined with 106 horsepower engine will have you racing down the roads and turning heads.

Pete’s Cycles stocks both models of the Can-Am and even if you’ve never climbed aboard a motorcycle in your life, you’ll feel right at home. The bikes feature easy to learn manual transmissions and their three-wheel design means you won’t have to worry about losing your balance.

The requirements for getting a license to drive a Can-Am in Maryland are the same as qualifying for your motorcycle license, but once you’ve taken the course you’ll be ready to cruise the back roads and beltways.

The creators of the Can-Am are the same people who brought the Sea Doo and Ski Doo, along with other legendary watercraft, to the world. Founded by J.A. Bombardier in 1942, the company’s dedication to quality craftsmanship, expert design and execution, and a dedication to fun are all found in the Can-Am.

Join the ranks of Can-Am riders, who are finding that these easy to handle, and fun to ride machines are perfect for the morning commute or a long weekend vacation. You’ll certainly be happier when you realize that your visits to the gas station are much farther between than when you were driving a car or SUV.

Fourth of July – A Day to Ride and Remember

The Fourth of July weekend is coming, and while we’re all looking forward to getting out on our bikes and riding, we wanted to reflect on what the Fourth of July means.

In 1776, when our Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence, they were probably very happy – for about a minute – and then they realized they had thrown down the gauntlet and invited one of the most powerful nations on Earth to a brawl.

The next few years would be full of turmoil, violence and death, but in the end a ragtag group of men and women who valued independence more than their lives did the impossible – they beat the British army and navy and won their freedom.

Over the next century, America would tear itself apart in a civil war that resulted in millions dead, millions more wounded and lives and the country shattered almost beyond repair.

Again, our nation moved forward and swelled its ranks as immigrants from all over the world flooded her shores. While the reception they received wasn’t always the warmest, they stuck around and helped build the nation.

Prosperity would be followed by economic times that again threatened to destroy America, but the resilience of her people kept the country alive and prosperity returned.

Two world wars would follow, and America would find herself as the world’s strongest and soundest nation. Internal strife would visit her again and again, but always in the end the nation stood strong.

From the moment we declared our independence until this very day, Americans have known that to keep something that precious alive and strong, it would require sacrifice, work and the ability to remember what our forefathers had committed themselves to almost three hundred years ago.

So this Fourth of July, before you climb onto your bike, or hit the beach or sit back and watch fireworks, remember what it is to be an American – and the sacrifices that this nation made to get where we are today.

That spirit has carried the United States of America through her darkest days, and will continue to do so well into the future.

Happy Fourth of July, from Pete’s Cycles.
