New Dealerships Opening Very Soon

Marquass Motorcycles is excited to release our strategy for the next upcoming Summer. We Plan to open 5 new dealerships by May 2008. These Locations are as follows in the intended opening sequence;

1. Brisbane - Australia
2. Amsterdam - Netherlands
3. New York - USA
4. London - UK
5. Marbella/Malaga - Spain

These locations are best suit to our unique product and allows plenty of good riding weather (UK being the exception). In the UK we intend to open in either the Porta Bella Rd or Notting Hill area. Currently a lot of searching is being done to find the most visual and accessible property.

Watch this space for the Opening dates and Launch Parties. We will be show casing our new bikes. So plenty of opportunity to see what all the fuss is about.

42 Below Vodka Cocktail World Cup uses a Marquass Motorcycle

On Tuesday the 7th of August, 42 Below Vodka held its regional finals for the Cocktail World Cup in Shanghai. During this heat the contestants had to mix a cocktail into a martini glass and be driven around streets of Shanghai inside a Marquass Motorcycle without spilling a drop.The second heat was held at the very swanky Bar Rogue night club situated on the Bund overlooking one of the greatest views of Shanghai. Some of finest and most popular bars sent their best men to show there stuff. Places like The Vault Bar, Dave Laris's super happening spot, Sasha's sent their extremely talented and diligent bar tender Jason to show them how its done. The Glamor bar sent Bobby to show how some tricks are done and the likes of Kathleen's 5, Volar, Naked Cow & the JZ bar sent there best staff. The first heat was held at Kommune in Tiakang Rd the Art district of the City. Jason shined well and showed why Sasha's is one of the most popular spots in Shanghai. His steady hand steered his martini though the busy streets like a surgeon. The Bar Rogue heats were action packed and really got the place rocking. The heats were very close but finally Cross from The Vault pulled out the goods. Great event guys and good luck in the Grand Finals.

Our Electrical System

Most CJ builders and owners would agree that the electrics have been the 'Achilles Heel' of the C J750. Once it rains the old box set up shorts out and fries the battery. Not good if you are miles away from home. Next nightmare is the voltage regular that needs adjusting or replacing more often than underwear. This is responsible for sending the exact voltage to the battery so it recharges. If the voltage is too high or too low the battery will not charge. This mean it will only run as long as the charge last in the battery. After that the bike is not going anywhere. Thats an interesting point I might add. Many people have asked me whether the bike can run without a battery or low battery charge. The usual question is ' can I just kick start my CJ and continue on?'. the answer is a very clear NO!

To sort out this major flaw and improve the CJ's performance we have designed our own wiring harness. This design is fool proof. We housed the electrical system in a side mounted box away from weather and any possible thieves who might want to hot wire the bike. Not only have we put the electronic mounted on the side box but we also put inside the heavy duty battery. We have also added quick release connectors on our wiring to the sidecar. All of these features equates to being able to remove the sidecar without changing over the battery and mounting it somewhere on the bike and cutting all the wires to the sidecar if you choose to go Solo. Next we have done away with the nasty old regular system and added a very reliable Solid State or CDI electronic firing system. This means there is no need for a distributor cap or coil. The bike will never ever miss fire because we put sensor points on the fly wheel inside the engine. So no need for any adjust ever again. Over all the performance is more reliable and a much cleaner spark.

Just another nice finishing off touch that we are Marquass Motorcycles strive for.
