A TASTE OF LACONIA 2003–I just returned from Laconia Bike week In New Hampshire. It was on the cold side with intermittent Rain. I was just glad to be in there! I am still riding the Henderson Bike # 962 and I have purchased a second #219 a dealer bike, so I guess ya could say that I am passionate about these bikes. I am building a storage shed 12 by 24 long it will house my X-celsior collection and all related memorabilia. I have a dealer sign and banners and other stuff related to the now closed Factory.
I’m inviting ya to attend Laconia, perhaps next year. There’s some fine riding in the hills of N-H and no helmet law. LIVE FREE OR DIE that’s their motto.

SHORT THURSDAY–The news is short and to the point. We will post TBear’s Laconia Run coverage tomorrow. As of Monday we’re throwing wrenches at a Custom Chrome Goliath kit bike. You’ll see it come together here.
Just as soon as the kit bike is complete, the Amazing Shrunken FXR will return home for a new Rivera dual Mikuni carb installation then mid controls tweaking and the bike will roll to paint and chrome. It’s about time.
I’m riding the King to Ventura tomorrow to discuss the Beach Ride with antique bike experts Don Whalen and Huggy from the Shop. We plan a rare collection of bikes for display at the Beach Ride Sept. 7 at the Queen Mary.
The next modification for the King is a H-D touring oil cooler for the summer ahead. We received a number of questions about the high running temps in Twin Cam engines. Let’s see how much the oil cooler will alter the heat.
Finally, if she will come out of her bedroom, Layla will write a story on the Bikernet Water Fall powered by a 1929 H-D twin. Have a helluva weekend.
