Licks Cycles Blog

Licks Cycles and Baxter Motorcycle join forces to kick some style into your Ride!

Baxter Motorcycle has designed a set of platform footpegs featuring classic Primo BMX pedals. The adaptor brackets are machined from steel and adhere to the highest specs. Not only do they look bad ass, they work even better! They are designed to be securely tightened while allowing the platform pedals to rotate freely.

Imagine the full rigid support of a sleek solid pedal, while also having the ability to adjust your foot position on those long haul rides. The performance of these footpegs is like nothing else on the market. Best of all they are made in the USA!!

♦  Fold Up XPEGS fit all stock HD and most custom controls set-ups. Available in Black, Silver or Red. (sold in pairs).

♦  Kicker pedals are also available in Black, Silver and Red (sold single).

In 2009 we’re getting back to basics. Here’s why…

The Biltwell Bash is a chance to get back to basics. No vendors, no anvil tosses, no wet t-shirt contests and no bullshit. Just a cool place off the beaten path to ride your bike, pitch a tent and drink some beer. What’s in it for us is the same thing that’s in it for you—good times on old motorcycles with great friends.

The Date:
April 17-19, 2009

The Place:
Lake Skinner Park of Riverside County is ten miles east of Temecula, CA. This rustic venue has portable toilets, power and water, BBQ and bonfire circles and a shaded commons area with picnic tables. A convenience store (beer!) and café (breakfast!) are located within walking distance of our camping area. We’ll add some photos and maps of good riding over the next few weeks.

The Price:
Thanks to the support of some very generous sponsors, the Biltwell Bash is free. You do not need reservations.

There are about 70 actual sites in the cul-de-sac-shaped group campground. Spots are first-come, first serve. Motorcycles only in this area and you’ll have to share your space with others who arrive later. Cars can park in the overflow lot about 50′ north of the camping area.

Our advice: Pack light, ride fast and show up early on Friday, April 17.

If you don’t want to camp, Google Temecula hotels.

The Rules:
The Biltwell Bash is open to all kinds of people on all kinds of bikes, but it is intended for riders who build their own machines, especially old funky ones. There’s no swimming in the reservoir next to our camping area, and if you get caught they rangers may ask you to leave. No one is impressed with fireworks or late night burnouts, so don’t be a jackass.

The Bike Show:
Entry is free, and every bike that was ridden to the event will be eligible. Prizes will be awarded to the top three bikes on display, and trophies will be presented around the fire pit during the BBQ Saturday evening.

If you’ve put Licks Parts and Accessories on your bike,  provide us a detailed write up of the make-model and mods you made and we will do our best to feature them on our blog for the world to see!!
