Low Cost Spay and Neuter Services in Portsmouth, VA

As we all know (or should know by now) spaying and neutering pets provides many health benefits for them. Some examples where this can be exhibited is in the data that female pets tend to live longer when they have been spayed. Also, spaying and neutering prevents pets from going into heat, thus lowering the risk of having them run away. Male pets also tend to be much more well-behaved, much less aggressive, and easier to control around the house.

Bayside Harley knows this, and we like to give back to the community in any way that we can. That's why we have partnered up with PETA to provide this low cost, professional spay and neuter service.

Harley Davidson Trike Conversions: What Are the Benefits?

What's a trike? It's a three-wheeled motorcycle. Why would anyone want one? Stability. Comfort. Ease of use. As the baby-boomer generation of motorcycle riders gets, let's call it "more mature", they may want less to deal with the possibility of a tip-over, or with the weight of a heavy bike. It also is an attractive option to people who are intrigued by the freedom of a motorcycle, but are afraid to actually get on a two-wheeler. This opens up the possibility of riding to a whole new demographic of people.
Therefore it's no wonder that Harley Davidson's Tri-Glide series is currently reported to be its fourth best-selling model. Harley Davidson has two basic models of the trike, the Tri-Glide and the Freewheeler
The Tri-Glide is a comfortable ride that has been redesigned in 2015. It has a twin-cooled Twin Cam 103 engine which is powerful enough to climb hills, and to carry passengers and luggage. 
The Tri-Glide Trike from Harley Davidson
This trike features a rear-to-front brake system that provides ultimate stopping ability, and Daymaker LED headlamp and fog lamps that provide farther visibility than ever. It also features a touchscreen control panel, better speakers than ever for your music, and intuitively placed switches, so that you feel super comfortable riding it.
Harley tested and re-tested this model with thousands of hours of riding from experienced riders who gave feedback on everything from airflow to legroom, and they assure us that this model is not a bastard child, it is a true Harley through and through.
The Freewheeler was inspired by the hot rod style. It is a little smaller than the Tri-Glide, a little more on the clean, sleek, and modern side, but Harley claims it has the engine that riders asked for: the V-Twin engine with more low-end torque. Harley also claims it has the footboard riders asked for: full-length, with rubber isolation for riding comfort.
As always, they put in thousands of hours of testing with this one as well, all done by experienced riders, and went back to the drawing boards to improve upon this machine in every way possible.
Now these are not examples of trike conversions, but you can get a trike conversion kit from your local Harley dealer. Outer Banks Harley Davidson in Harbinger, North Carolina carries both of the above models. Stop in today for a test ride, and see why more and more people are going for the trikes!
