Battistinis, Christmas and New Years Opening times . . . . . . .

Battistinis, Christmas and New Years Opening times . . . . . . .

So its Christmas Eve and things around the Battistinis camp are quite frankly rather busy! It may be the big freeze outside yet its far from that here with things truly hotting up to unbelievable levels to finish off 2010!

A new year brings a new start. However we have decided to jump the gun a bit and are already well underway with a heap of happening for 2011!

Last week saw the latest and ‘greatest’ instalment yet of our ever popular ‘Retro Revival’ and all we can say is that this exquisite evening of true yesteryear 40’s & 50’s beauty and styling is off to brand new heights in the new year! Photos from the ‘Mega Christmas Special’ event will be up on this very blog very soon alongside all of the exciting news for this event to power off thru 2011! New bands, new performers, new venues, its all going to be happening!!!!!!!

As far as our show calendar looks for the new year, its already rather busy to say the least. Flights, ferries and hotels already booked for shows in the UK, USA, Italy, Spain and a whole host of other countries! Watch this space as a list of happenings will be on this very blog very soon!!

A string of new bikes have been put thru the paces in the workshops over the past weeks and months! So if you think its all rather quiet on our bike front think again as most of the latest builds have been kept under wraps for selected launches at shows throughout the new year! Alongside these bikes is our brand new ‘TOP SECRET’ product line which is also currently being developed that will take to the worlds custom stage at the ‘Easyriders V-Twin Expo USA’ in February! This truly will push the envelope once more and all we can say is that if you can think what our new range looks like, simply think again!!!!!!!

With all these happenings we also need a well deserved break! The Battistinis showroom and ‘Rockers’ Cafe are now closed until Jan 4^th! However a lot will be going on behind the scenes so we will be contactable via emails and also on the phone (leave a message on the voice mail) and we will be back in touch! Also keep a look to this very blog as details of many happenings will be uploaded over this period!

Until then, have a great Christmas and New years and if we do see you over the festive period ours is a J.D on the rocks!

Battistinis, NOW STOCKING Biltwell Skidlids. . . . .

That’s correct we now have a whole host of the great and ever popular Biltwell helmets on the shelf in the shop!! These helmets really need no introduction as they are loved as much in the shop as the world over and one of the reasons why they have just been voted "Apparel Product of the Year" for 2010 by Cycle Source Magazine readers!

These are a MUST HAVE and make a PERFECT CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!!!

From flat black, gloss black, metal flake through to the brand new MEGA flake (having the biggest, brightest metal flake paint available) we have them all in stock TODAY!

“ These stylish lids feature a super lightweight and comfortable shell. A vintage style chrome strip around the opening is pure class and adds some nice detail. The new liner now has detail stitching and contrasting ventilated panels in the top. The embossed goggle strap has a new shape and an improved snap. The liner is completely removable and washable, and we now sell replacement liners as well.

A word about sizing. Miraculously, the Biltwell helmet is one size fits most. Medium helmet-wearers and their size 8+ pals can squeeze their melons into our helmet without discomfort. That’s because the foam padding inside our helmets is really soft and compliant, and because our outer shell is so flexible. Of course, this is the reason why the Biltwell helmet is designed for novelty purposes only, and should never be worn to operate an actual motorcycle. Simply put, Biltwell helmets do not meet any DOT or other safety standards.

Our Mega Flake lids. These things pop like crazy and are as conmfortable as they are good looking. Eleven unique colors you won't find anywhere else. The big guys might copy some of them, but they can't keep up! “

Battistinis, Chris King espresso tamper. . . . .

Well this Christmas if anyone is struggling to find what to buy someone who both loves a coffee as much as cycling then this truly is the winning ticket!

Any die hard cyclist out there will know that the world’s finest hubs and headsets come from the world famous USA ‘Chris King’! For winter 2010 they have decided to ‘twist’ things a little further and produce the ultimate in coffee perfection!

Chris DiStefano, marketing manager at Chris King, said:

"Our espresso tamper is born from an appreciation of the coffee making process as much as the coffee it produces. We worked in collaboration with the Portland, Oregon based American Barista & Coffee School to develop a professional grade espresso tamper with precise dimensions, exceptional feel, and the iconic shape that every cyclist recognizes as the very best."

The tamper was developed with Tom Pikaart, the Barista Manager and Wholesale Trainer for Water Avenue Coffee, as well as a lead instructor at the American Barista & Coffee School. Pikaart is an avid cyclist and blogs about his "coffee explorations" at PouredOver.com.

The tampers are not cheep but then again like all Chris King Products are simply the best that money can buy. They cost $75.00 a piece and are direct from Chris King: www.chrisking.com/store/tampers
