MBA Holdings, Inc. (OTC BB: MBAH) and its subsidiary powersport rental company, Blue Sky Motorcycle Rentals, Inc. announces a new exotic rental Licensee in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Boss Hoss of Scottsdale, Arizona and Blue Sky Motorcycle Rentals have executed a definitive agreement introducing the first automotive powered V-8 Boss Hoss motorcycle into rental service in the world. Terms of the agreement negotiated by Blue Sky Founder Wayne (Lumpy) Ordakowski were not disclosed. Ordakowski commented, “Blue Sky was the first to rent custom choppers over 3 years ago and now we take another bold step introducing these unique Boss Hoss bikes and trikes to the rental populace. I always wanted to ride one, but there was really no outlet for the attempt. Now there is. We’re expecting many dealers to follow our lead.”

CEO-Gaylen Brotherson stated, “This is truly exciting… another first for Blue Sky and not the last, look for more from the team in the near future.”

About Boss Hoss: Boss Hoss Cycles, Inc. was established in 1990 when Monte Warne, the Founder and President of Boss Hoss Cycles, Inc., created his first Chevy V-8 powered motorcycle in his 5000 square foot shop in Dyersburg, TN. Monte, a commercial aircraft pilot and degreed aviation airframe and power plant technician, was the first to design a V-8 powered motorcycle that has a traditional cruiser motorcycle style, look and feel. This was accomplished by his unique approach to the motorcycles single speed (one gear) transmission design. The right angle drive transmission allows the length of the bike to be kept to a minimum and the engine-mounting inline with the frame made for a well-balanced design that is unequaled by any other V-8 powered motorcycles.

Over the past fifteen years Boss Hoss Cycles, Inc. has grown from its humble beginnings in Monte’s shop to a 22,000 square foot manufacturing facility. The product line has also grown from the conventional two-wheeled motorcycle to include three-wheeled vehicles commonly referred to as trikes.

The product has seen significant improvements over the years through the R&D efforts of Boss Hoss Cycles’ in house engineering personnel and specialty contractors. Features like a 2-speed transmission with reverse, inverted front suspension, vacuum formed body panels, investment cast structural frame components, and many other specially designed components have helped improve the rigidity and ride of the Boss Hoss motorcycles.

Women today are in a serious time crunch. Between work, family and household responsibilities, they rarely have time to spend on themselves. According to a recent survey of 1,000 women, one in 10 women say they never make time for themselves and more than half only make time for themselves once a week.

“In today’s busy world, women are often being pulled in several different directions, leaving them with little time to do what actually makes them happy,” said Dr. Sheenah Hankin, psychotherapist and author of “Complete Confidence: A Handbook.” “Yet by not taking time for themselves, women are missing out on activities and experiences that can help build confidence, promote self-respect and add excitement to their lives.”

Today’s Time Crunch

Three-quarters of women surveyed said that an abundance of obligations and responsibilities prevented them from getting some “me” time. Of these obligations, taking care of other people (37.5 percent) and work (31.5 percent) topped the list. However, after these obligations, one in ten women said they didn’t spend time on themselves because of guilt.

If women were able to snag some time to themselves, they said they would most like to exercise (21.6 percent), treat themselves to some pampering (19.7 percent) and even take up a new hobby (18.7 percent). “By getting some alone time, women can feel fulfilled,” added Hankin. “They’ll also be happier while taking care of their daily obligations, knowing they have something to look forward to.”

Benefits of Me Time

The majority of women surveyed said that spending time on themselves helps to make them feel more relaxed. In fact, a quarter of all women said the time they get to themselves also helps them feel clear-minded, exhilarated, empowered and even adventurous.

Given some free time, many women would like to spend it on a hobby or trying something new. “It’s important for women to take on new challenges and keep themselves active,” said Hankin. “By facing new challenges and building new skills, they strengthen their confidence and enrich their lives.”

Call of the Open Road

But even with these findings, it seems more and more women are trying to make time for themselves by trying new activities that are challenging, exciting and fulfilling. For example, the number of women participating in the sport of motorcycling is on the rise, with women now representing one in 10 U.S. motorcycle owners according to the Motorcycle Industry Council.

“I’ve been riding my whole life and I can’t imagine my life without it,” said Karen Davidson, great-granddaughter of the founder of Harley-Davidson Motor Company and Harley-Davidson General Merchandise creative director. “Riding is my me time. It makes me feel relaxed and empowered all at the same time. I can tell you that there is no better confidence builder than mastering a motorcycle.”

Davidson agrees that riding, like other hobbies, does take time and effort. “But I think women need to make a conscious effort to create time for themselves to do the things they love,” added Davidson. “I love motorcycling…I enjoy the sense of freedom, independence and adventure that motorcycling invokes and donning that leather jacket and saddling up always adjusts my outlook on life.”

Getting Behind the Handlebars

Harley-Davidson Motor Company has made it easy for women to pursue an experience that can be all their own.

Helping fuel the growth of the sport among women is the Harley-Davidson Rider’s Edge program, which teaches basic riding skills at select Harley-Davidson dealerships across the country. Since the program’s inception in 2000, more than 69,000 people have learned to ride a motorcycle, with women constituting 39 percent of those students.
