    We will be closing up for about 2 weeks (SEPTEMBER 30TH-OCTOBER 13TH 2014) while we get the last details of the new shop build/worked out and move our entire inventory and all our equipment. We have been building the new shop for a few months now, and it is that time to make the switch from old to new. Our new shop will allow us to improve our manufacturing capabilities as well as provide the much needed room to grow that our current location lacks.

    Our website will remain open and fully functional during this time, but we will not be shipping regularly like we do now. We will ship orders when/if we can, but please don't count on it. We will resume regular shipping October 13th. I apologize for the inconvenience that this may cause some of you. Believe me, this is not how I wanted to make the move, but I can only be in so many places at once and it is just easiest to focus on the last details of the new shop and then the move without trying to be in the office answering phones and emails at the same time.

    Thank you all for your support and business that is allowing for us to upgrade to a much better location.

    Thanks for all the support guys and gals. It's been a very crazy last few weeks. Both in my personal live and business life. Turns out the 2 weeks I set aside to make the move wasn't quite enough to get it all done. Haha, oh well, such is life I guess. We hit a few snags in the final construction that prevented us from moving all equipment and inventory to the new shop. We will get all that moved in the next couple weeks I hope. A little at a time vs all at once like I had planned. Right now I am planning on being completely moved into the new shop by early November.

    For now, here are a few pics of the construction. The new shop is about 2400 square feet, which isn't huge by any means, but is far better than the makeshift abandoned movie theater we have been in since we opened.

    Pic of the radiant floor heat tubing. This is about 3200 feet of tubing zig zagging back and forth. There will be evacuated tube solar collectors on the roof that will heat fluid that will circulate throughout the tubes. With as much sunshine as we get here it should be possible to heat the entire shop with only solar. No electric or gas heaters at all.

    Picture of the bare concrete slab. Not too exciting by itself really. All the land to those trees in the background is ours so eventually there will be a track or 3 out there. That will probably go in this spring after the ground thaws.

    Finished outside view of the south side. Lots of windows for free light, and I just plain like being able to see outside and not feel like I'm trapped inside all day.

    Looking out the main shop door to the east. Unfinished walls in this pic, they are now insulated and finished off. Spray foam insulation throughout should be quite nice. Everyone I know who has had it seems to love it. I guess we'll see.

    Thanks for looking. I'll post up more pics when later of the finished shop.

    Are you going to have a showroom at the new location or is it going to be just mail order as usual? The heated floor is going to be awesome……can't wait to see more!

    That mountain out your east door brings back some great memories of riding the Taos Plateau. :thinking:

    Come on out! I've been burning in some single track in those hills to the east. Should have a pretty good loop put together by next summer.

    No plans for a show room. Being in such a small town we rarely get someone walking in looking for parts. We'll just stick to mail order for now. Although you're always welcome to pop in and browse around.

    Come on out! There's plenty of riding to be had. Within 5 miles of the shop there are endless miles of desert terrain single and 2 track to be ridden. About a 30 minute drive away the mountain trails begin where you can ride up to 13,000ft if you wish.

    If you are willing to be a test rider and work for beer and free parts, then yes. You're hired.
