DON’T GIVE THE MAN YOUR CASH– Doug Keim Creative Cycles (D.K.C.C.) has come out with a baffled version of the incredibly popular L.M.F. pipes, M.M.F.s, which stand for Muzzled Mother Fu**ers. Yeah, you heard right baffles in the Loud Mother Fu**ers. It doesn’t make anybody happy to do it but with EPA requirements continuing to get tighter combined with a growing number of state and local officials ticketing bikes with open exhaust, D.K.C.C. knew it was time to offer pipes that will ultimately save riders from a lot of unwanted as well as expensive attention from law enforcement.
The new M.M.F. pipes feature the same wicked external appearance of the L.M.F., fitting all H-D Big Twin models and most custom applications including right-side-drive models as long as the bike has forward controls. The only difference with the M.M.F. is the added steel non-removable baffle. So in the end, with Muzzled Mother Fu**er pipes, you can keep the Loud Mother Fu**er looks while at the same time staying unfamiliar with your local law enforcement.

Team Muzzy’s Ryan Schnitz is the first repeat winner of the season for the highly competitive NHRA Prostock Motorcycle class.

Chip Ellis also posted a win this season using the S&S power plant at the CARQUEST Auto Parts Nationals in Joliet , Illinois .
Schnitz is now third in the NHRA POWERade point standings for Pro Stock Motorcycle with 516 points; just 49 points behind the leader and only 1 point behind Antron Brown for second. Chip Ellis, of G Squared Motorsports, is currently in sixth with 479 points.
The continued success and consistency of the S&S Prostock 160″ engine is obvious this year as four teams including Team Muzzy, G Squared Motorsports, Mohegan Sun, and Rocklin H-D all qualified this weekend in the top half of the 16 Prostock Motorcycle field. Three of these teams made it to the second round with Schnitz defeating Chip Ellis in the semi-finals to advance to the finals where his 7.513 at 184.37 mph was enough to take the win.
Four of the eight races have seen S&S powered bikes in the final, three of which have won. Wins have been posted by Chip Ellis and Ryan Schnitz with Chris Rivas not far behind with an appearance in the final round in May at the Summit Racing Equipment Nationals in Commerce , Georgia .

JAY LENO CONFIRMED AS “THE VOICE”–for the Orlando Museum of Art’s World-Class ExhibitionThe Art of the MotorcycleJanuary 22-July 23, 2006.
ORLANDO, FL — The familiar voice Americans hear greeting them with “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to ‘The Tonight Show,’ ” will soon be welcoming guests to the Orlando Museum of Art’s (OMA’s) world-class exhibition, The Art of the Motorcycle, on view January 22 through July 23, 2006.
Jay Leno, famous comedian and host of “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” is confirmed as the narrator for the audio tour guides for the exhibition. Based on the landmark exhibition that opened in 1998 to record crowds at the Guggenheim Museum, New York, The Art of the Motorcycle explores the motorcycle as both cultural icon and design achievement and offers a thought-provoking challenge to conventional assumptions about art and popular culture in the modern age. It was organized by Wonders, The Memphis International Cultural Series, in association with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, New York.
Well known for his passion for collecting motorcycles and classic cars, it’s no surprise that Leno saw the exhibition at the Guggenheim Las Vegas in 2001. When he was approached to do the audio guide for the presentations in Memphis and Orlando he “thought it would be a cool thing to do.
“Not all art has to hang there — sometimes it can roll, explode and make noise,” says Leno. He compares motorcycles to the back of a watch, “because all the mechanical parts are exposed to see.”
His collection occupies three football-field-size warehouses and includes approximately 80 cars and 80 motorcycles. Leno is constantly working on his collection in his spare time at home and routinely drives cars from his collection to his studio. He is also a promoter of the mechanical crafts through his columns in Popular Mechanics and his educational activities. Leno recently auctioned off a Harley-Davidson Road King signed by his celebrity guests to help raise money for the victims of the tsunami that affected South Asia.
The Acoustiguide? recorded tour also features the voices of actors Dennis Hopper, Jeremy Irons, Lauren Hutton and Laurence Fishburne.

SONS OF LIBERTY RIDERS E-NEWS–IF MOTORCYCLISTS DO IT–“Deaths will sky rocketIt will cost Billions; insurance rates will spiral out of control”Article By; Uncle Rock
I hate to be the one to inform you, but they were right. Everything that they have been saying all along is true.The numbers for 2004 are in for PA and it is Very Grimm Indeed.I think our elected officials should do something about this carnage and needless waste of lives.
No I’m not talking about helmet usage here, I’m referring to:MURDER BY MEDICINE.
For years doctors have fought to keep you from having freedom of choice concerning helmet usage. While they quietly kill multiple thousands each year. “There are no comparable benchmarks nationwide, but some federal agencies estimate that hospital-acquired infections afflict more than 2 million people and kill more than 100,000 every year.” (Luis Fabregas Tribune Review)
More than 11,600 patients contracted infections duringhospital stays in Pennsylvania last year. The first-of-its-kind report issued yesterday by the council shows nearly 1,800 hospital patients who developed infections — or just about 15 percent – died.
Now compare that with the REVISED PA-DOT numbers for motorcycle deaths for 2004, which increased by 1. No that is not a misprint ONE, even though motorcycle registration went up by 22,835 during the same period.
Lets see 1800-157(MC deaths) = 1643 people killed by Grimm Reaper health care services, in PA 2004. Incidentally that number 1643 lives taken by GR health care in just 1 (ONE) State, equals half/50% of all MC deaths nationwide.
MOTORCYCLE EMMISIONS TEST PROCEDURES– Adopted by World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations.On June 30, 2005, protocols for modernizing and harmonizing the emission testing procedures for on-highway motorcycles were adopted in Geneva, Switzerland, by the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations. EPA welcomes this major step forward in improving motorcycle testing worldwide because it will enable more robust emission control over a wider range of motorcycle speeds and accelerations.

Please view Brian’s production Buell/Sportster Chopper on his web site at http://www.kustomcycles.com. Frames & rollers are coming to a popular catalog soon!
