BK @ WTC for #3 of the Roadside Diaries



We made the trip out to Wauconda, IL again for the Winter Thunder Challenge again this past weekend. We donated our time for the roadside attraction too. It is a good time, if you would like to join us sometime, feel free to email us.

This time we were joined by Troy Olsen with Racing Extreme and Mike & Eric from Worldwind Motorsports. We we had it pretty luxurious this time too. Doug brought the Dougscouch.com couch so we did't have to stand the entire 2 hours.

Once we did our time in the ditches of rt 12, we headed into the races to see what was going on. We saw the BK banner in a high traffic area and also ran into our sponsored racer, Jeff Peters #331. Jeff has had a GREAT season so far, so it was cool to hear about that.

Bk Boat n Sleds and Worldwind Motorsports will be sponsoring the next event out at the WTC. It will be the WTC Meltdown!

Come show some support and join the antics with us Feb 6th & 7th.

Google, Yahoo, and MSN....oh my!

So, we get a call from a marketing company about once a week. The pitch is that they can get your business FEATURED on Google, MSN, and Yahoo for $19.99 a month. Instead of hanging up, we have started playing the game. On this particular day we decided to tape it and we lucked out; they called twice!

Week 2 at the Winter Thunder Challenge


We made it back out to the Winter Thunder Challenge at the Golf Farm again. It was drizzly and a little warmer than expected, but the races must go on! We were also visited by Mike from Worldwind Motorsports in Antioch. We also met Mike from Road Rage today! Road Rage had thier big Road Rage Shootout this past weekend where 2 lucky racers won custom SLED WRAPS!

BK at the Golf Farm for Winter Thunder Challenge

Bk Boat n Sleds is a proud sponsor of the Winter Thunder Challenge at the Golf Farm in Wauconda, IL. Part of our sponsorship agreement is to donate some of our time to welcome race fans to the event. This past Saturday, Mike and I did our first of 6 scheduled "road side" attention getters.


I donned the BK Ditch Banger uniform for some added attention. I got a lot of compliments so I am going to take it a step further and get the bk logo on the back of it. If you have never held a big sign on the side of a busy road, I highly recommend it. And for those of you that are wondering, the "trucker horn" hand motion still works as good as you remember from your childhood!

Here is some video...



I would also like to thank Mike at Worldwind Motorsports for getting us the gig!

Mchenry Sledheads Snowmobile Club


Some of the members of Mchenry Sledheads Snowmobile Club paid us a visit last week. They came out for the Bk University night via sled and put on some good miles that night too. We have had customers show up via sled before, but this was the largest group to date. If you are in the area feel free to ride over, there is a trail on the south side of 120 that is VERY close to our shop.

Bk University Clips




We had our first Bk Boat n sleds' BK U night last night. This was a one night class that Mike Missak, co owner, taught. The topics covered all the basic and simple sled maintenance topics that any sled owner can do. We have a lot of customers come through the shop that WANT to work on thier sleds in thier garage at home, but do not know where to start. Mike helped the attendees get familiar with the components of a sled and what to look for when diagnosing a problem. The feedback was great and if there is enough desire, we will plan another one in the future. Thank you to everyone that came out and to the riders that made the trip via sled!

Here are a few pictures from the night.
