Licks Shipment Delay-Train Derailment

Licks Shipment Delay-Train Derailment

We seriously can’t make this stuff up.  Apparently one of our shipping sources i.e. UPS has notified us that they have experienced a train derailment and all the packages in the shipping container have been damaged.  At this point we are uncertain what items may be delayed.  We are certain that two of our larger orders have been affected.  Soooo what does this mean for you guys?  Long and short, there may be some delays in processing and shipping of orders.  We apologize for the wait if in fact it affects an order you placed with us.  We unfortunately have no control over how much the train conductor is drinking while operating the Choo Choo… Thanks for your patience and understanding, we will try to resolve this issue as quickly as possible…..Licks Cycles

PRE-BUY for NovDot’s is now running…order your’s TODAY!!

Licks NovDot’s

Now Available

for Pre-Buy!!

PRE-BUY your NovDot now!!! – OK here is the deal, our phone has been ringing off the hook and emails have been flying in asking when the PRE-BUY for NovDot’s was going to be open. 

 

We have intentionally delayed the pre-buy this time around because some customers were unhappy about waiting so long to receive their helmet on the last run.  Sooo in order to avoid any frustration or disappointment we have held off offering them for pre-buy until now.

 

IMPORTANT:  Our next shipment of NovDot’s is due the 2nd week of November.  We are offering pre-buy status on all sizes of Matte Black and Matte Grey helmets.  We are phasing out the Gloss black so there is limited availability on those.  We will be shipping out helmets in the order we receive requests so the earlier you order the sooner you’ll get your helmet. 

 

I say again…if you PRE- ORDER a NovDot, it will not ship immediately. We appreciate your patience and will do our best to turn your orders around as soon as possible!!

 

 

For those not familiar with our helmet line, the NovDot is without a doubt, the smallest, sleekest, lightest DOT approved helmet on the market today.

Features:

* Meets Or Exceeds D.O.T. Standards.
* Features the Smallest D.O.T. 3/4 helmet Shell Ever Made!!
* Fiberglass Shell: Stronger, Lighter, Safer – NO ABS Plastic here.
* Lightest Lid on the market - feather like 1.85 lbs.
* Free Draw String Cloth Bag.
* Nylon Strap System with powder coated D Rings and easy snap.
* Features stylish 3 Snaps configuration.
* Removable liner for easy cleaning.
* SIX Different Helmet Sizes to assure the Perfect Fit!!

Hurricane Update- Licks Operations

Hurricane Irene is approaching the northeast and we are expecting a fair amount of wind and heavy rain.  We are uncertain what the impact if any it will have  in our immediate area.  Should we lose power for an extended period of time or have significant flooding, our operations may be impacted temporarily.  This interruption, should it occur most likely will extend to shipping, phone and internet.  We would ask that everyone be patient should this occur.  We will do our best to get everything back online and running smoothly as soon as mother nature decides to stop kicking our ass….
