Ha! Doors opened at 9 a.m. and I walked in around 9:45. By that time there must have been more than 100 people waiting in line to make their purchases. The place was packed, and that&#8217;s saying something because it is huge.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if this is the biggest motorcycle shop in Denver but if it isn&#8217;t it has got to be one of the biggest. Completely new building with about anything you could want. Including a lounge with complimentary beverages and an air hockey table so you can while away the time while your bike is being worked on. A section for helmets that is bigger than some shops I&#8217;ve been in. A storage area for tires that looked like it must have a couple thousand tires on hand. And of course, pretty much any motorcycle gear or apparel you could possibly be looking for.<\/p>\n<p>And apparently there were a lot of people looking for gear. I was just there for a look-see but most people seemed to be there as shoppers. I would not want to stand in line that long to buy but I guess the today-only 20 percent discount coupons they were handing out made a persuasive argument to a lot of people.<\/p>\n<p>Will I shop here? Yeah, it&#8217;s in my part of town and I figure they will probably have anything I&#8217;m looking for. I might want to do some price comparisons, though. We&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n<p>And one other point in their favor: they&#8217;re open on Mondays.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7343\" style=\"width: 507px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/motorcyclecolorado.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/PeformanceCycleOpening2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7343\" src=\"http:\/\/motorcyclecolorado.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/PeformanceCycleOpening2.jpg\" vspace=\"10\" alt=\"Inside Performance Cycle&#039;s new space.\" title=\"Peformance Cycle Opening\" width=\"497\" height=\"338\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/motorcyclecolorado.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/PeformanceCycleOpening2.jpg 497w, https:\/\/motorcyclecolorado.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/PeformanceCycleOpening2-300x204.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 497px) 100vw, 497px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7343\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong><em>The place is huge.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Biker Quote for Today<\/h3>\n<p>Note to self: Never ride a motorcycle in stilettos and a miniskirt. &#8212; Maggie Grace<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As did many thousands of other motorcyclists&#8211;apparently&#8211;I received a card inviting me to the grand opening at the new location for Performance Cycle on Saturday.
