Green Street Cruise Night 6/13

Monday night, we were out at the Green Street Cruise Night for the first time this season. We will be out at the event every Monday night for the rest of the season. If you are into motors and cars, this is the place to be! There are acres of cars from 3 window coupes to brand new Camaros.
The cruise night is located off of Green Street, just south of rt 120 in Mchenry. Starting at 5 pm, cars from every decade start rolling into the parking lots and soon the place is swarming with spectators gawking at the show cars.

Whether you're a Ford, Chevy, Dodge, or "other" guy, there is something to look at at the cruise night. Doc Brown's DeLorean was even parked in the lot. While there was not enough room for it to hit 88 mph, it did have the flux capacitor and steaming jets.

Come on out, say hi, and check out the GoPro cameras we will have on display all season. You never know what you will see out at this event. We will be happy to chat with you and check out your ride!

Heartland Blood Drive

The first BK Blood Drive was a great success this past week. We had 26 people come out and 23 of them were able to make donations. Heartland Blood Centers brought out the big bus and there was still a little bit of a back up. Thanks to everyone that came out to donate. We will be doing this again sometime, so we will keep you posted!

Zombie Apocalypse May 25 2011

With the Apocalypse coming in less than 24 hours, we though we better make some deals happen. We thought maybe we should run some last minute deals before the end of the world as we know it, but then we thought people are not going to spend their last hours at the shop. We also thought maybe we could have a party tomorrow, but then if the Zombies showed up...that may be a downer. So we decided that we would make an offer to everyone that is still with us and NOT a Zombie next week.

So......


Yep that's right, if you are able to get into the shop next week, you can take advantage of this great deal. Just imagine how easy the commute will be, the lakes shouldn't be very crowded either. You won't have to worry about going into work, so you have plenty of time to make it out to the shop also. We will be there and waiting. The door will be locked (we don't want Zombies just strolling into the place) so once you get there, Scream "I am not a Zombie" and we will let you in.

We should have GoPro's in stock next week too if you want to get some killer HD footage of your adventure back home. It should be a good time.

Minn Kota Trolling Motors


Minn Kota may be the number one name in trolling motors. If you are into fishing, you know that a trolling motor is a must have out on the lakes and rivers. We carry all of the Minn Kota motors and accessories. If your fishing in Northern Illinois, you need the Minn Kota name hanging on the front of your boat.

GoPro HD Hero

If you have not heard of the new GoPro Hero HD, you are in for a real treat. This is a small helmet camera that mounts EVERYWHERE you can imagine. The GoPro has quickly become the hottest selling helmet camera in extreme sports. And it isn't just for adrenaline junkies, more and more videos and pictures are popping up from people using this camera in their everyday lives. This little camera captures life, not just a representation of it.



You can capture video and stills with this camera. It records on a standard SD card and no special software is required to edit or share the results.

Whatever sport you are into, there is a mount for the GoPro that will allow you to considerate on the adrenaline and not the shot. If it happens in front of the GoPro, the GoPro catches it.


For More information on the GoPro, please call Bk Boat n Sleds at 815-363-1254 and talk to one of our GoPro experts. They use the camera everyday and will be able to tell you everything you want to know about it.

Escape

Long hours at work, no work, bills, kids, repairs, gas prices, income, and other factors in our lives drive us to needing an escape. We all need to get out and forget about the issues that drag us down in life. For many of us, powersports are that escape.

Whether you are into riding on the dirt, snow, water, sand, or street, you know that feeling of freedom. The wind blowing away all of your stress; the sound of the motor clearing your mind.

We share in the love of that feeling and know how important it is to have in life. Your life becomes less about the stress and more about getting back to that freedom of the trail. We want to help you in your quest to escape. To be free from life and to have fun.

Bk Boat n Sleds is about helping you escape.
