ROCKHARD Helmets is a new brand of motorcycle helmet being exclusively distributed by O’Neal–Each helmet design available in the range features exclusive graphics personally approved by international rock bands, and produced in strictly limited numbers to ensure exclusivity. Each helmet is numbered and comes with its own certificate of authenticity. The initial range of helmets feature AC/DC, Hustler, KISS, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Slayer.Helmets are available in three different styles: full-face street, off-road MX dirt and half-helmet street. In addition, each design of helmet has passed the international safety standards for the countries they will be on sale in. The standards include DOT, SNELL, Australia, EU, Japan and ECE.

The full-face street features an advanced composite fiberglass/ Kevlar/carbon/Spectracore, which is claimed to create a strong, light, energy-absorbent and impact-resistant design. Multiple adjustable vents allow for customizable airflow, with the shell’s design creating a vacuum effect, drawing hot air away from the head. A clear 2mm molded Polycarbonate Uni-Curve flat race face shield is fitted as standard and tinted and colored face shields are available separately.

An advanced composite shell is used in the construction of the dirt helmet and it has rear vents, which are claimed to improve aerodynamics and venting. The washable liner is removable for ease of cleaning and care.

The DOT approved half shell has a fiberglass shell and a three-snap visor.The graphics used on the helmets are exclusively licensed worldwide and are only available from Rockhard Helmets. Limited edition graphics will be introduced a few times per year.

Hupy and Abraham, S.C. and Northeast Region A.B.A.T.E. of Illinois work together to fight biker discrimination– The much anticipated Ironhorse Roundup was scheduled for the first weekend of May, and as many as 30,000 people were expected. That is until the Mayor of Grayslake pulled the permit for the event, based on police intelligence reports. The controversy rages on; was this a safety issue or biker discrimination?

Attorney Pete Naylor, of Hupy and Abraham, S.C. represents the organizer of the event, Mark Khayat, and they are discussing legal options at this time. Meanwhile, Naylor attended and spoke at a special meeting on May 6th in Grayslake, attended by many area bikers including Hupy and Abraham,S.C. client Dave White and Wisconsin BOLT member, Mike Greenwald. Below is a Google News Alert link to the article on the special meeting. As this story develops, we will keep you posted by email.

GET OUT AND RIDE YOU CRAZY BIKER–

Sometimes you just need a little kick in the asphalt to get out and ride. After seeing this (50 times) I’m putt’n down my Jack and going for a ride.

More good stuff in Bikernet Studio. Take a look.

MIC TO PERFORM NOISE TESTS– Interested to hear about D & D, I have been waiting and hoping some aftermarket exhaust guys and custom builders would get excited about the scientific roadside test the MIC has developed and is about to unveil to all State Law enforcement with recommendations for stock sound levels only, that hits every pipe maker there is, even the ones that claim they are somewhat quieter, still not as quiet as stock as the MIC will be pushing so where would this leave them, unable to legally sell a product, can anyone recall the sting of the CARB fines.

Kids & Chrome, an eclectic mix of fun, food and festivities, is held in the name of enriching the outreach and programs provided by two vital Black Hills non-profit organizations, Children?s Home Society, the ?Kids? in the foundation?s moniker, and Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame, the ?Chrome?. The 2007 Kids & Chrome event, bringing together over 400 motorcycle enthusiasts, industry professionals and celebrities from the Black Hills community, across the nation and around the globe to ?Rally for a Reason?, raised over $100,000.00 in contributions, gifting $70,000.00 to the Children?s Home Society and $30,000 to the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum.

Kids & Chrome 2008 is slated for Wednesday, August 6th, at the Spearfish Holiday Inn & Convention Center, Spearfish, SD. Featured at this year?s 4th Annual Kids & Chrome, will be ?The Dakota?, a one-off custom bagger, created for Kids & Chrome by Tom Binyon, owner of BaggerWorks Custom Touring Motorcycles in Wichita, Kansas.

Dakota  side

Binyon was introduced to Kids & Chrome during the 2007 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and was so impressed that he contacted the Kids & Chrome Foundation to offer to donate his services on the build for 2008. ?The Dakota? was built exclusively with parts and components donated by some of the premier manufacturers in the motorcycle industry. Binyon, along with Ted Sands, Vice President Sales & Marketing for Performance Machine and long-time friend and supporter of Kids & Chrome, and Jim Burgess, co-owner of Black Hills Harley-Davidson and Board President of Kids & Chrome Foundation, championed the donation drive and a generous industry quickly responded.

The one-off custom bagger?s list of components reads like a corporate who?s-who of the motorcycle world. BaggerWorks contributed a custom built frame by Rolling Thunder Frames, a Matt Risley fuel tank, a custom Perse Performance front end, a special Baker 250 RSD (right side drive) transmission, and a detachable front fairing from Kevin Evans, as well as many other components.

Black Hills Harley-Davidson built and contributed a fuel-injected Harley-Davidson 110″ TwinCam “B” engine, as well as many other Harley-Davidson components. Wheels, brake systems, hand controls, and many other components were contributed by Performance Machine from its Contour line. ?The Dakota? also features a Legend Air suspension, provided by Rapid City?s Independent Cycle, a Corbin FLH Bagset and rear fender, a Danny Gray custom embroidered seat, as well as numerous parts and accessories from Arlen Ness, Headwinds, Metzeler and others.

Dakota rear

?The Dakota? will be auctioned to the highest bidder during the Kids & Chrome benefit dinner and auction.

The 2008 Kids & Chrome event is again supported by a generous motorcycle community as well as local and national event sponsors like Budweiser, the Kids & Chrome title sponsor, as well as Black Hills Harley-Davidson, BaggerWorks, the Buffalo Chip, Black Hills Surgery Center, Performance Machine, Lehman Trikes, Baker Drivetrain, State Publishing & Printing and Sturgis Bike Week.

?Kids & Chrome is just a phenomenal event?, said Jim Burgess, President of the Kids & Chrome Foundation Board. ?Our sincere thanks go to our friends from the motorcycling community whose kind and generous support of Kids & Chrome allows us to make these significant contributions to benefit our kids and preserve the history of motorcycling, each of which plays a hugely important role in all of our lives.?

Kids & Chrome invites you to ?Rally for a Reason?. Support Kids & Chrome through sponsorship of the Kids & Chrome event, donation of either a silent or live auction item, purchase of a corporate table or individual tickets for the event, or by simply making a tax deductible donation.

Tickets for the Wednesday, August 6th, Kids & Chrome benefit dinner and auction event can be purchased on-line at kidsandchrome.com, or by contacting Stacey Sharp, Kids & Chrome Event Coordinator, at 605/341-5226 or stacey@thesharpagency.com.

LEGEND OF THE MOTORCYCLE CONCOURS D? ELEGANCE— You think they could?ve added one more word to the name? Maybe not, but that?s where Bandit is heading with a group of guys. They left yesterday morning and are taking their time, cruising up the coast. Christian from Sucker Punch riding an old panhead, Billy on a Knuckle and Bandit & Jeremiah both on shovels.

billy christian

They rode as far as Santa Maria yesterday and plan on cruising even slower today to arrive in Half Moon, Ca tomorrow. Bandit checked in last night and said the ride was perfect; I?m glad.

So, in the usual Layla fashion, the news will be short cause I?ve got some goofing off to do. Shopping, animals to spoil, girlfriends to play with? Enjoy the news!

BIKERNET EDITOR SCORES KING–Had an interesting day yesterday. I rode into Raleigh with the sole intention of getting some patches sewn on my vest (including the Bikernet patch you sent me). But in addition to getting the patches done, I rode home on a new-to-me 2007 FLHR Road King. Oh, the trouble I get myself into!  I got what I asked for out of my trade, a fair price for the King, and I got them to throw in a factory service manual, too.

It?s dark red, 18K miles, and was previously part of Ray Price H-D?s rental fleet. First impressions after just a few miles:

?The 96? twinkie is a torquey, powerful sumbitch, very smooth, and will rocket up to 80 mph in no time. I?m not gonna mess with the fuel management for the time being; besides, I?ve still got a year to burn on the OEM warranty.
?Heat ? It puts out noticeably more heat out of the right side; I mostly feel it on my calf. No big deal, although some folks have complained about it, but I don?t see it as a problem, because I?m not one of those clowns who putts around in shorts and flip-flops.
?The tranny ? Smooth, although there?s a bigger gap between 1 and 2. Easy to overcome; you?ve just got to wind out first gear a little more. As far as the noise that some folks complain about with the straight-cut first and fifth gears, I haven?t noticed it. You don?t want to take it into sixth gear unless you?re cruising along at 70 mph-plus, IMO, even though the manual says 50 mph.
?Handlebars ? The stock bars suck and they?ll be the first to go. Too low and forward for my comfort, even though at 5?7? and 160, I?m not a knuckledragger. But more good luck ? a friend of mine in Fort Worth is gonna send me a set of Heritage bars gratis.
?Might search for a seat that drops me down ∏-1 inch. No problem flat-footing the bike, but I could use just a cunt hair more for better leverage when backing the bike.
?Oh, yeah; new buyers get to participate in an in-store poker run. I got a flush, which won me a $300 gift certificate. Burned up some of that this morning when I dropped off my old title and spare keys.

Above is a quick & dirty shot in the garage. Couldn?t shoot outside because it?s raining cats & dogs now. The good news is I didn?t get caught out in it. Cams will be coming. Had a pair of Andrews 26Gs in my Softail. It?s gonna be interesting, though, to see how the hydraulic shoes in the 96? twinkies fare compared to the old spring-loaded jobs in the 88. Speaking of cams, have you read Donny Peterson?s piece in American Iron on the Woods setup? An indy I know in Decatur, TX swears by ?em.

Life is good!

Bonneville Book

How to Build A Bonneville Salt Flats MotorcycleAuthor: Keith R. Ball–The phrase, Bonneville Salt Flats, strikes a chord with any true gear-head. For motorcycle enthusiasts the allure is even stronger. How to Build a Bonneville Salt Flats Motorcycle documents the construction of ?The Worlds Fastest Panhead,? conceived and assembled by Keith R Ball, former editor or Easyriders magazine and current owner of Bikernet.com, the most popular biker stop on the internet.

Keith walks the reader through all the steps involved in the creation of a true Bonneville Salt Flats motorcycle. From choosing a class to picking a frame, from finding an engine builder to minimizing the aerodynamic drag at 200 miles per hour, Keith grinds his teeth and lots of steel throughout the entire process. ?It includes how to make guess-work fly,? Ball said.

A project of this size is bound to suffer setbacks. Keith Ball uses a personal, narrative style to take the readers on a wild ride, through the ups and downs of building The World?s Fastest Panhead. So come along for the ride down the salt with the man who is perhaps the best-known motorcycle journalist.

LAUGHLIN GOOD OR BAD?–No matter what sort of doom and gloom you might hear, Laughlin was a pretty good show. Traffic was not as high as last year (how is that a bad thing?) and yes, there where room available and the wait for restaurant seating was little if any (again, how is this bad?). From a vendor perspective, sales where decent and the weather was even good. On another note, check this out. Signals built into the shock for the Dyna and Sporty guys. Too cool. David Z.

A.B.A.T.E. OF LOUISIANA, INC. HELMET FIGHT– Louisiana now has five helmet modification Bills of one kind or another. With each Bill bringing something different to the table you almost need a score card to keep up with them. The following Bills Abate Of La., Inc. supports in their current format:

HB 1295 Rep. M.J. Smiley (Dist. 88)Requires anyone under the age of 18 to wear a motorcycle helmet and requires anyone seeking their first time endorsement to pass a Louisiana approved Motorcycle Operators Training Course effective 7/1/09. Anyone with an endorsement prior to that time will not be required to take the course.

SB 9 Sen. Eric LaFluer (Dist 28)Anyone with an endorsement prior to that time will not be required to take the course.

SB 9 Sen. Eric LaFluer (Dist 28)Requires anyone under the age of 18 to wear a helmet. Those 18 and older who choose not to wear a helmet must obtain a $10,000.00 personal health insurance policy.

SB 83 Sen. Eric LaFluer (Dist 28)Requires anyone under the age of 21 to wear a helmet. Those 21 and older who choose not to wear a helmet must obtain a $10,000.00 personal health insurance policy.

SB 85 Sen. Eric LaFluer (Dist 28)Authorizes people 21 years of age or older to operate a motorcycle or scooter which is 250cc or less on a publ

SB 673 Sen. Eric LaFluer (Dist 28)Requires anyone under the age of 21 to wear a helmet.

After discussions with Representative Smiley he has informed me that our biggest obstacle will be Senator Joel T Chaisson, II the Senate Speaker, and the Senate Health and Welfare Committee that these Bills are getting assigned to in the Senate. We need to start e-mailing and calling these Senators. Senator Chaisson is a co-sponsor of the current helmet law and five of the seven Committee members voted in favor of it. For a list of the House Transportation and the Senate Health and Welfare Committee members go to http://www.abateoflouisiana.org , click on the Legislative Updates page and find the link under the list of Bills.

With over 140,000 motorcyclists in the State of Louisiana now is the time for us to make our voices heard and stand together. We now represent a large voting bloc that will be heard if we exercise our rights by contacting our Representatives and Senators and we need to do this now before these Bills are addressed in Committee. Always remember:

One voice is but a whisper, but a thousand voices are a ROAR!

CRO CUSTOMS CHECKIN? IN–Bandit, Hope all is well my man. You missed the best EDR ever! Ton’s of pictures floating around. Some amazing riding, great people, cool bikes. We would have all been arrested if we did the run in the states.

While on the EDR, I finally got to meet Michael Lichter. What a crazy fucker he his. Hanging off the back of bikes doing 90+ shooting pictures! I was honored that he invited me to be part of the Stay Gold show at Sturgis Bike Week 2008. It is a great concept with some fantastic builders. You know I’m not a big “show” builder and it is hard to let my bike sit in some display when it should be on the road, but I am very flattered to be part of it. So, now I actually have to clean my bike up.

Best,
cro
