Hey,

Damn it’s Friday and we take half days off on Friday, but we didn’t finish the news on Thursday, since most of the day was spent on a plane, although I did grapple with a laptop.

We’ll jump right into the news, so I can figure out the rest of the mess on my desk. We’re scrambling with projects, features, books and event coverage. Hang on.

Sorry we’re late with this week’s news. It’ll never happen again-yeah right!

LEGEND OF THE FREEDOM BELLThe Freedom Bell and Evil Road Spirits
Legend has it that Evil Road Spirits have been latching themselves on to motorcycles for as long as there have been bikes on the road. These Evil Road Spirits are responsible for mechanical problems and bad luck along the journey.Legend goes on to say that by attaching a small bell onto your scoot, the Evil Road Spirits will become trapped inside the bell where the constant ringing drives them insane, making them lose their grip until they fall to the ground. (Ever wonder where potholes come from.)Legend also has it that the Freedom Bell carries twice as much power when purchased by a friend or loved one and given as a gift.

ARIZONA TOWN NOT SO CARE FREE ABOUT NOISE–Carefree, Arizona has been on the bikers’ radar screen for their controversial noise ordinance, but now the Town Council has voted unanimously to lower speed limits on its main thoroughfare, and elevate noise infractions for first-time offenders from a civil citation to a Class 1 misdemeanor and possible jail time.

The changes take effect in November and targets motorcycles that exceed an 85-decibel noise limit. Instead of a $175 ticket, violators can be fined as much as $2,500 and sentenced to up to 180 days in jail.

In addition to beefing up punishment to crack down on noisy bikes, the council also voted to reduce the speed limit on Cave Creek Road, the gateway between Phoenix and bars in downtown Cave Creek, from 35mph down to 25mph.

CALIF BIKE WEEK BANNER

LOVE RIDE AND CALIFORNIA BIKE WEEK JUST AROUND THE CORNER–20,000 motorcycle riders will join the world’s largest one-day motorcycle charity event, the Love Ride, and head out on a new route with a new destination to cap the events of the California Bike Week on November 11. The 24th annual Love Ride will leave Harley-Davidson of Glendale and end up in Fairplex in Pomona instead of the usual destination of Castaic. Jay Leno will again act as Grand Marshall and Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame singer/songwriter Gregg Allman will headline the entertainment after the ride.

California Bike Week will include various motorcycle events for enthusiasts including drag and flat track racing, trade show, stunt riding, and musical entertainment. Harley-Davidson will be offering demo rides aboard the new 2008 H-D and Buell motorcycles, so bring a valid motorcycle license and riding gear to saddle up on the new models. The Harley-Davidson Traveling Museum will be on site to allow visitors to take a peak into the Company’s legendary history and Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) will be available for H.O.G. members. Harley-Davidson’s interactive display, Acceleration Nation, will offer race fans a simulated drag racing experience aboard Harley-Davidson V-Rod motorcycles as well as a photo opportunity on NHRA racer Andrew Hines’ race bike.

The Love Ride began 24 years ago as a way to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy and local children’s charities, and has raised more than $20 million over the years. The Love Ride’s founder and owner, Harley-Davidson of Glendale, Oliver Shokouh, was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame this past August.

THE ULTIMATE QUESTION, WATER OR COKE?–Through extensive Bikernet Research at the University of Bikernet Downunder Lab, in Sidney, Australia, here are our findings, beginning with water:

#1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half the world population.)
#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.
#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as 3%.
#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
#5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
#6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
#7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
#8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%., and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day?

COKE

#1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
#2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.
#3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the “real thing” sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
#4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminium foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
#5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
#6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
#7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
#8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

#1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.
#2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of the trucks for about 20 years!

Now the question is, would you like a glass of water? or Coke?

CONGRESS FORMS MOTORCYCLE CAUCUS–The U.S. House of Representatives has formed a motorcycle safety caucus, and riders are urged to contact their motorcycle-friendly Reps and ask them to join. A caucus is a group within a legislative body that is assembled to represent a specific interest or influence a particular area of policy. The motorcycle caucus will focus on ways that Congress can improve and advance motorcycle safety efforts.

To become part of this first-ever motorcycle safety caucus, interested House members should contact either caucus co-chairs, Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) or Michael Burgess (R-TX).

Giffords, a freshman member of Congress and an avid motorcycle rider herself, said “We know from national studies that in almost two-thirds of fatal car/motorcycle crashes, the fault was with the driver of the car. We can do more to address this critical problem, and public education is a key to bringing about awareness and a reduction in such accidents.”

Burgess is a long time supporter of motorcycling who said he is looking forward to working with motorcyclists across the country on motorcycle safety, education and awareness issues.

MOTORCYCLES TO REMAIN LESS THAN 100 HP IN FRANCE–Bad news for French motorcycle riders. The almighty and powerful European Commission has ruled that France is in its legal rights to limit motorcycle power to 100 horsepower.

The French Association of Angry Bikers (FFMC — Federation Francaise des Motards en Colere) sued the French state and took them to the European courts.

Apparently, having uniform laws in Europe only apply to anything except motorcycles, said the FFMC about the ruling. The EC stated that each country could impose their own restrictions.

The FFMC countered that an extensive study by Dutch TNO showed no correlation between accidents and motorcycles with more power than 100 H.P.

So riding in France on a French-registered motorcycle means you can only have 100 H.P., while anyone else riding in France can ride whatever they want, on the same road, with the same traffic, and cars are not included in the restriction.

The FFMC vows that they are not going to let this go?stay tuned!

BMF WHEELS, INC. LAUNCHES INTO THE TRUCK MARKET–Orange, CA – Brock Weld and Blake Ramthun have started a new wheel company called BMF Wheels featuring an innovative fusion of forged wheel styling with cast wheel technology.

These ground-breaking innovations produce a true three-dimensional look that is second to none. All BMF wheels are engineered to exploit the longest and straightest rim lip possible, and are all TPMS sensor compatible to meet OE specifications.

BMF Wheel fitments are specifically designed for the new Toyota Tundra, Jeep JK in addition to Nissan Titan, half-ton Chevy, GMC and Cadillac trucks & SUV’s, half-ton Ford & Lincoln trucks & SUV’s and all three-quarter and one-ton applications, plus many other applications.

Brock Weld, formerly of Weld Racing Wheels, has many years experience manufacturing and selling high-performance wheels. Weld Racing Wheels was sold to American Racing/Platinum Equity in 2006. After the sale, Weld left to build his own wheel company with his business partner Blake Ramthun. “I knew that I had no desire to work for anyone except myself,” said Weld. “I want to focus on the products and customers I know best; the lifted truck market is what BMF is all about.”

Blake Ramthun, formerly of Weld Racing Wheels and Pacific Wheel Distributors, has worked in the automotive aftermarket for over 15 years and has worked with Brock Weld for the past seven. “At a time when the wheel industry is overloaded with old designs and poor customer service we know BMF can bring products no one has ever seen before and customer service that is second to none,” said Ramthun.

BIKERNET GOTTA GO TO HAWAII NEWS–LATEST ISSUE OF HOT BIKE, SPS AND JOHNNY HUMBLE BIKE FINISHED, SIMPLY WOW CLEANING PRODUCTS, BUY ART HERE AT BIKERNET, PRO STREET OPEN HOUSE IN HAWAII THIS SUNDAY, JIMS TOOL OF THE WEEK, CUSTOM CYCLE ENGINEERING CATALOG, FUEL INJECTION TUNING FROM S&S EZFI, RIVERA CARB KITS FROM CCI AND NASTY NEWS INTRO.

W8lessgirl

What the hell?

There’s more going on than I could shake an 80-spoke wheel at. Biketoberfest is scrambling, Bike clubs are leaving the Hawaiian Islands, another new motorcycle manufacturer is starting, a town in Florida tried to outlaw bikes and new bike products are popping up everywhere.

Of course Bikernet is trying to make all these transitions as easy as possible. We’re working with JIMS machine to bring you all the special tools you need to accomplish your job. Watch for the techs coming up.

Assaltweapanflier

Let’s hit the news, I’ve got to jump on a plane for Hawaii to check out the club scene and be there for Deacon’s Grand Opening of Pro Street Custom Cycles on the Windward side on Sunday the 21st from 1-5. I’m going to bring a batch of photos of the Assalt Weapan, if you want a shot of the World’s Fastest Panhead signed by the guy who swept the shop on Wednesdays-no problem. Let’s hit the news:

carb parts

CUSTOM CHROME OFFERS SU ELIMINATOR II CARBURETOR KITS BY RIVERA–Kits include SU “Eliminator II” carburetor with polished dome, chrome air filter, chrome velocity stack, chrome leveling bracket, intake manifold, push-pull throttle bracket, and comprehensive instructions. Carbs are jetted for stock engines.

Two extra needles are included to cover most modified engines including strokers to 86 cubic inches. Kits Include solid mount, upswept manifold that works with most fuel tanks including 5.0 gallon Fat Bobs.

IS CARB (CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD) OUT OF CONTROL?–I spoke to Todd Erdmann today (Owner of TMCC, Thunder Mountain Custom Motorcycles) about the CARB settlement he just paid (See below). It was just as I thought. TMCC inadvertently sent ’07 motorcycles to CA dealers with ’06 engines and ’06 CARB engine labeling. It was an oversight, not an intentional action. Todd believes a disgruntled past employee contacted CARB to blow the whistle. The motorcycles had the proper pollution control equipment, but the wrong engine label and the ’07 paperwork wasn’t submitted. In effect, TMCC paid $257,000 for a paperwork and labeling error. There never was a pollution issue. Adding more pain to this situation, TMCC’s San Diego, Orange County and San Clemente dealers canceled their TMCC franchise, even though TMCC paid all of CARB’s fines against its CA dealers.It is my opinion that CARB is out of control and will not stop their collection of ill-gotten gains until the industry fights back… HARD. They don’t care about air quality as much as they care about collecting fines. When are we going to say enough is enough? SEMA just won a fight with CA where the state wanted to do annual tests on 15-year old and older vehicles. I think we need to join forces with SEMA, the combination of the MIC and SEMA could be formidable.Additionally, there are a few good senators who want to float a bill to protect the vintage car and rodding community. They hope to pass Federal legislature that provides a path to build and title these vehicles. Why can’t we support them in their fight and add motorcycles to the mix?I recommend that the MIC discuss this matter in the next meetings of the MIC Aftermarket Committee and American V-Twin Committee.

GoTo: http://www.arb.ca.gov/enf/casesett/casesett.htm for an update on the settlements CARB has collected. Note the $1,000,000 settlement against Dynojet. I believe Dynojet is still an MIC member. How many more MIC members will pay the price of a corrupt CARB?

EZFI

NEW FUEL INJECTION TUNING FROM S&S EZFI–Sometimes you just need a little extra help in tuning a bike. The addition of a high flow air cleaner and slip-on mufflers or a complete exhaust system can alter the flow characteristics of a fuel injected bike just enough to make the air/fuel ratio less than desirable. Adding or subtracting fuel is a necessity, but the minimal amount may not be enough to justify a complete fuel injection system replacement. This is where the S&S EZFI comes into play.

With simple adjustments handled with buttons and a screwdriver, you can add fuel where your bike needs it-and remove fuel where you don’t! Additionally the S&S EZFI impacts only fuel delivery, it makes no changes to the other stock ECM functions like turn signals, instruments or safety functions.

This add-on module is waterproof, requires no crimping or soldering of wires for installation and has available software (EZTune software) that allows you to custom tune separate front and rear cylinder maps using the S&S diagnostic cable (PN 55-1271). The EZFI is available to fit all Harley-Davidson motorcycles equipped with Delphi? fuel-injection including closed-loop models.

PN 106-0890 MSRP $189.95

BIKERNET PRODUCT OF THE WEEK–Guy goes in an adult store and asks for an inflatable doll.

Guy Behind the counter says, “Male or female?”

Customer says, “Female.”

Counter guy asks, “Black or white?

Customer says, “White.”

Counter guy asks, “Christian or Muslim?”

Customer says, “What does religion have to do with it?”

Counter guy says, “The Muslim one blows itself up.”

CCEtruss

FORK TRUSS SUPPORTS FROM CCE–Our fork truss is truly a performance part. It dramatically improves front-end handling. The engineering design and sleek styling are obvious characteristics in this part. The compound arc, which sweeps upward and rearward simultaneously, imparts greater resistance to deflection, twisting and bending of the fork. The upward arch also provides additional fender clearance. The addition of large diameter holes spaced out to a maximum strength calculation helps keep unsprung weight to a minimum.

Installation is very simple and the disassembly of the front-end is not necessary. These trusses are designed to bolt securely to the lower sliders. Trusses are machined out of solid billet aluminum and can be purchased in a polished or chrome finish.

BIKETOBER CAUTION FLAG OUT FOR TEEN DRIVERS–With iPods, cell phones, text messaging and even good, old-fashioned conversation, it’s tough to keep young eyes on the road.

Crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers, making up 36 percent of all deaths — more than 6,000 people — for this age group, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.And Florida is among the deadliest states in the country for young motorists, according to AAA and the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration.
