Attitude Is Everything Thursday News for Thursday November 14, 2013

    Progress, New Models, New Opportunities, Obstacles, New Motorcycles, New Laws, Old Laws, Bad Cops, Good Cops, Bad Jokes, and how to handle all of them. MADNESS, OR ARE THE STARS OUT OF ALIGNMENT—As you know life is strange. You can get up one morning and the dog is cool, and yapping, the ol’ lady wants to hold hands, and the guy down the street found an old Indian motorcycle patch and gave it to you. Maybe the neighbor who borrowed a lift two years ago returned it (when you thought you might never see it again), and brought a fifth of Jack. So, a week goes by. You help a couple of brothers get on the road, wash the ol’ lady’s car, and loan out the lift again. You roll over the next morning and the dog bites your hand and knocks over your favorite planter. Your woman runs off with the mailman. Some guys in the industry try to steal another guy’s business, someone starts a competing web site after you helped him with his clients for five years, and someone close tries to put you in a trick bag over a motorcycle. Just makes you want to go back to bed and hope for a new morning. CLICK TO READ THE REST OF THE NEWS!

Captain America To Ride The New Harley Street 750

Harley-Davidson’s new  Street 750 is featured in a trailer for Marvel action movie “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,”  due to be release next spring. The trailer includes a harrowing chase scene where Captain America helps defend freedom aboard the new  motorcycle. The Harley-Davidson Street 750 is the newest Dark Custom motorcycle designed for young urban riders around the world. “Captain America – since his first introduction in 1941 – has always been associated with riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle,” said Dino Bernacchi, Harley-Davidson Marketing Communication Director. “Now, in Marvel’s ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’, he’ll ride a Harley motorcycle built for the urban environment.” Earlier this summer, fans at San Diego Comic-Con were shown Steve Rogers’ choice of bike in this movie– the Harley-Davidson Breakout motorcycle. So fans will not only see the Street 750 motorcycle in the film, but the Breakout® will also make an appearance as the daily-rider bike of Rogers, aka Captain America. “Captain America truly embodies the iconic, heroic, and American aspects of the Harley-Davidson brand. Both Captain America and our motorcycles are great symbols of freedom,” added Bernacchi. “We can’t wait for fans to see this movie and what Harley-Davidson has planned with Marvel moving forward. There are exciting things to come with our partnership.”

Interested In Getting A .motorcycle Domain Name?

If you want your website address to be www.choppers.motorcycles, you’ll have to go through Dominion Powersports Solutions, the company that now owns the new extension, which can replace .com, .net, .biz,.org and others for those who successfully register their websites with the new extension. The new domain is the result of a huge expansion of domains that unleashes new generic top level domains (gTLDs) like .shop, .free or even .smile. The expansion is touted to make the Internet more consumer- and search-friendly. Until now, most internet addresses have largely ended with the familiar “top level domains.” A Dominion affiliate will operate .motorcycles exclusively, which will be by an of Powersports Solutions. To acquire the new domain extension names, companies underwent a rigorous application process and were required to pay significant application and annual fees. Dominion will have exclusive rights over .motorcycles. Domain registrars like GoDaddy.com will need to contract with Dominion and observe Dominion’s rules and regulations to offer URLs with the .motorcycles domain.  Further, Dominion says there were no other powersports-related trade-specific or generic names submitted during the process, and it is unlikely there will be another round of applications for several years. “Dominion Powersports has taken a critical leap ahead on behalf of our customers. As Google continues to personalize the search experience for consumers, top-level domains like .motorcycles will elevate our dealer customers in the search results,” said Jeff Littlejohn, president of Dominion Powersports Solutions. “While some have downplayed this worldwide initiative, the proactive response of technology leaders demonstrates the impact the new top-level domains will have on the visibility of businesses on the Internet.” Source: Dealer News

Treasures From The Bikernet Vault: Drop Seat Sporty for Kristie

From Twisted Biker Werks, Big Island, Hawaii This all began 38 years ago on the Big Island of Hawaii. Chris Calicdan’s dad, a phone company lineman, rode a raked-out Panhead at the time. Chris, at 2-years-old, stumbled into the garage as his father’s engineer boot kicked the starter lever and that rigid, with upsweeps, fired to life. It was the first time Chris shit his pants and meant it. The sparkling chrome locomotive on two wheels was reminiscent of a land mind going off in front of a lizard on a nearby rock. His life would never be the same. Continue reading
