Warrrensburg Bike Week


Well, the first official Warrensburg Bike Week has come and gone in upstate NY and what a success it was. With hundreds of vendors lining the streets of this little Adirondack town it was a natural draw for motorcyclist not wanting to pay the $10.00 entrance fee at the Expo in Lake George.

The Chrome Glow LED Lighting truck rolled into Warrensburg on Friday May 29th and we were setup for business by the following morning and the riders were already lining up for LEDs. And we weren't the only vendors enjoying all the business. We set up in the QVN Auto Lot along with Dallas Motorcycle Accessories, Bobbies Chrome Accessories, Spruce Mountain Surplus(military Surplus), a Pin Striper, a Leather Vendor, multiple food vendors, and lots of hospitality tents for relaxing.
By mid week all the vendors were keeping very busy and the motorcycles kept coming. Without a parking meter insight everyone not only enjoyed the admission free vendors but absolutely no parking fees anywhere. This town really knows how to embrace a motorcycle rally. Along with the great efforts of Don Bagwell, the Town of Warrensburg adminstrators, and the local businesses I can see this event growing to "major bike rally size" in just a few years.

By the end of the week all the vendors were in full stride with installation appointments booked for each day. The hot items this year were any LED upgrade to stock brake lights. The most common statement we heard all week was "I want to be more visible when riding". "I need a brighter brake light". Sweet words to my ears!! Our LED Flexible Arrays with turn Signals were a great seller and added not only greatly increased visibilty to motorcycle but also looks great on the bike. Another good seller was our replacement LED Taillights from Kuryakyn and Radiantz. I'd have to say we changed a whole bunch of turn signals over to Street Magic LED clusters as well. All in all, safety seemed to be the main topic on peoples mind when looking for LEDs this year and Chrome Glow delivered with over 500 products on hand and ready for installation. So get your calender and start planning for next year becuase this is definetly a motorcycle rally you are going to want to attend.
