Hurricane Season Bikernet Weekly News for September 21, 2017

I want to remind everyone to reach out to friends, relatives, brothers and sisters and agencies to help folks in weather-torn areas. Don’t kick it around. Get it done. Speaking of getting it done. Some folks love to get shit done no matter what it is, from mowing the lawn to building a new bike. They stay focused through the obstacles, the financial hurtles, the bad weather, whatever. That’s an aspect government agencies seem to miss. Read more.

German Bike Builder Bottles Harley-Infused Gin

The bikernet.com staffers and their work-release crew of not-yet-paroled freelancers have been around the block, done some things, seen what can’t be unseen, but never in anyone’s memory have they tasted Harley-Davidson flavored liquor.

The taste of old motor parts soaked in gin? Read more.

Krawiec In The Lead At NHRA Finals Face-Off with Teammate Hines

In an all-Harley final round, Krawiec defeated his Harley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle/Vance & Hines teammate Andrew Hines in the first head-to-head face-off of the new Harley-Davidson Street Rod competition drag bikes. Krawiec scored the 40th win of his career on Sunday while setting the low ET (6.826 seconds) and fastest top speed (197.74 mph) of the event for Pro Stock Motorcycle eliminations. “We are racing a couple of great Street Rod drag bikes right now,” said Krawiec, who won for the fourth time in five final-round appearances this season. “They are handling well, they are fast and most importantly they are smooth and consistent. We can race round after round and know exactly how these bikes will react. If we maintain this performance we will be a force through the playoffs.” In a weekend dominated by the two Harley racers, Hines secured the top qualifying position with a best elapsed time (ET) of 6.825 seconds at 196.50 mph. Krawiec qualified his Street Rod drag bike second at 6.836 seconds and 195.00 mph. On Sunday, Krawiec and Hines battered the Pro Stock Motorcycle field, and for the 20th time the two former champions lined up to face each other in a final round battle. On this afternoon, Krawiec prevailed with a 6.850-second blast to better the 6.911-second pass posted by Hines. After the first of six rounds in the 2017 NHRA Mello Yello Countdown to the Championship playoffs, Krawiec leads the Pro Stock Motorcycle class with 2,202 points. Hines is in fourth place with 2,144 points. The Harley-Davidson® Screamin’ Eagle®/Vance & Hines Pro Stock Motorcycle drag racing team returns to action September 22-24 at the Dodge NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway in Mohnton, Pa.

BLUE BIKERNET WEEKLY NEWS for September 14, 2017

Hey, What are you thinking about today? Are you pondering the fight over the wall, Korea and the punk who runs it, Syria, hurricane victims, or the latest government intrusion into our lives. I donated to hurricane relief, and I quit watching commercial television, so I dodge much of the misery. So, what am I thinking about? I’m chasing parts for my Panhead Project, trying to reach Lee Clemens about my 45 Engine build, working with the muralist on the side of the building, thinking about a sailing trip to Cuba, and pondering how we can help Wilmington on the Port of Los Angeles shine again. There’s just one example of the diversity of our thinking and all the shit flying at us daily. So what’s the conclusion, what should you take away from the above. Two basic premises. First, you can see by the above lists a man can think about almost anything including about the Redhead next door and they are just thoughts. Second, we can think about what could bring us down, negativity or all about creativity and positive outcomes. I like freedom and creative endeavors. There’s one you can help with in the news from the MRF. Let’s hit it. Click here if you want more.
