Here We Go Again! | Performance Machine 2012 Rally Schedule

Happy New Year everyone! As we all know, it’s customary this time of year to promise to improve ourselves, usually our waistlines, and make vows to never touch another cigarette and wake up every morning to go running five miles and by mid-February we’re looking back at our wide-eyed optimism and shaking our heads. No more. This is the year we say “Enough!” [...]

On the Grass Under the Palms: David Mann Chopperfest

The 8^th Annual David Mann Chopperfest injected some life and excitement into the Ventura County Fairgrounds on December 11^th and the PM truck was parked under the palms to bear witness to the good times, passing out more of our award-winning catalogs to the multitude of bike fans in attendance. The day may have started out somewhat overcast, but in true Southern California style, the sun broke through, transforming this event into a balmy day at the beach.  Check out our gallery of photos below.

The Life Cycle of a Super Gas Merc Air Cleaner: From Conception to Utilization

Perhaps you recall our introductory post back on October 26^th, where we unveiled our latest design in our collection of air cleaners, the Merc, and you may have even wondered how such a sleek, gleaming product comes to be.

Performance Machine Upcoming Holiday & Physical Inventory Schedule

With the holidays just around the bend, there are a few dates on the Performance Machine calendar that require some attention:

• We will be closed on Thursday 11/24 and Friday 11/25 in observance of Thanksgiving, so if you’re struck by the desire to place an order for some new wheels after that third slice of pumpkin pie, please recall that we are most likely deep into a turkey coma ourselves.
• Physical Inventory from Thursday 12/1 to Monday 12/5 requires for us to be closed for shipping, invoicing, returns, or any other activity that would result in product being moved around. Therefore, if you have an order that absolutely must get allocated before December is in full swing, make sure to get that settled between Thanksgiving and Physical Inventory (11/28-11/30). Trust us, we hate inventory too, but on the bright side, we will be in office to answer any technical or sales questions.
• A few weeks later, we will be closed on Thursday 12/23 and Monday 12/26, to enjoy gifts and face time with family and once again on Monday 01/02, to sleep off the copious amounts of champagne.

In short, it’s a busy holiday season, both for us here at Performance Machine and all of you out there, but we are committed to being here for any questions or wish lists you may have.

Retro Styled for the Nostalgic: Super Gas MERC Air Cleaner

We here at Performance Machine do not believe in resting on our laurels, preferring instead to push the envelope with new designs and products. This fact is front and center in our ongoing quest to improve and expand upon our line of air cleaners, and we are proud to present our latest offering: the Super Gas MERC Air Cleaner. The new Super Gas MERC Air Cleaner cruises firmly into nostalgia territory, adding some hot rod flair to the styling of our original Super Gas Air Cleaner. With clean lines and more curves than a pin-up, this piece features ribbed concentric circles and the Performance Machine logo machined into the center. Equipped with a K&N Air Filter, the MERC offers optimal airflow and more horsepower than the stock alternative.

As the announcement of the first heat for the finals was announced, streams of spectators poured into the stands to catch all of the action, of which they found in plenty. Each time the riders lined up at the start, figuratively chomping at the bit; [...]
