Victory tour - Today through Sunday

It's time to polish up your motorcycle-operating skills, grab your driver's license with the correct endorsement and head over to Randy's Cycles near Marengo.

The periodic demonstration tour of the Victory factory cycle tour is in town. I happened to stop by Randy's this morning, and I'll be going back tomorrow or Sunday to drool over (okay; well, near) the new bikes.

I have had my motorcycle serviced by Randy's since 1999, and they have maintained it satisfactorily for me every year. My trusty steed ('97 Honda Shadow ACE 1100cc) has 77,000 miles on the odometer. I say it's almost broken in, but I get kidded all the time at Randy's that it's dirty and that I need to take a new bike home.

Recently I met a preacher in Belvidere who bought a Victory at Randy's last year, and today two men from Hebron (as in Hebron, Indiana) were at Randy's on his recommendation. That's a 111-mile ride, one-way. They'll like doing business with Randy.

Randy's is located at 18307 Beck Rd., Marengo, Ill. Where's that? Think the corner of U.S. 20 by Donley's Wild West Town, Then go west on Beck Road about 200 yards and turn left into Randy's. For hours and information, call 815.923.0500. And visit www.randyscycle.com
