SEX AND MUSIC PLAYBOY SPECIAL–The exploration of time is as old as man himself. The very concept is one that is beyond most, how many dimensions does time have? Is time a constant or variable, that can be stretched like a rubber band. These are the most basic concepts. The concept of time impacts us everyday. We say I do not have “time”, but do you?

The reality is time is what you make of it and you have as much time as you make.

What the hell does any of the above have to do with beautiful women and music from PLAYBOY? You got me. -Bandit

USED BIKE DEAL OF THE WEEK–Here is the DBW deal of the week…..It’s a 1990 FXLR that I bought wrecked (with a clear title), and repaired. It has a new tank & front fender, new paint, and just did 10k service. It comes with matching backrest/luggage rack and leather saddlebags. It has 55k on the odometer, and runs like a top. I’m asking $8000, but cash talks.

Help me pay my shop ticket off, before Lee sends the goon squad to kick me in the nutz!

THE BIKERNET ROGUE RULES–I have been telling people that the push to make rider education mandatory is About Money and Not Safety.Well it has again raised its ugly head.The Motorcycle Safety Foundation wants to make Rider Education Mandatory. They have been successful in many states of doing that for those under 21 years of age. Now their push is to make it Mandatory for getting motorcycle endorsements to your licenses, even if you have past rider experience or can pass the state exam.

They are also asking for it to be made MANDATORY for licensed riders to take Remedial Classes. Yep, even if you have been riding for over 50 years, like I have, they want me and you to go back to school and of course pay for that.

They want to guarantee their future and income and Have You and I Pay For It. In most places there is a cap on what can be charged for this Forced Education and if they are successful in getting that removed we are in for even more trouble. How much will we have to pay to ride our motorcycles?????

Some sad news is that ABATE and some other MROs have Rider Education Programs that they run and make money from and are also pushing for these programs. I and others hopefully will keep you informed which ones they are and suggest you do not support them.

Oh, just for the record, I became a Motorcycle Safety Instructor on 5/17/1981, and I Think that the courses are good for those who need them, but That They Should NOT BE MANDATORY.

Hopefully the Motorcycle Riders of This Country Will Let Their Elected Officials Know How They Feel About This.

CARVER TRIKE: the sensational alternative– Steer it like a car and the Carver will bank like a motorcycle. The fully automatic hydraulic-mechanical DVC system makes this exciting kind of driving possible, lending itself very well to a sporty driving style.

Enjoy the steering and feel how responsive DVC balances the vehicle body for you, banking to the exact natural angle.

Its low weight and aerodynamic design allows the modern 4 cylinder 68 bhp engine to take CARVER in 8.2 seconds to 100 km/hour and to a top speed of 185 km/hour.

BIKERNET WEEKLY PHOTO ART EXHIBIT– Found this long forked ride on Main Street in front of the Wreck ~ Bikeweek ’05.

Look me up in Daytona at Ironhorse or Broken Spoke on the weekends! I’ll be the one taking pics of everything in sight.

BAD COP REPORT FROM FLORIDA– KISSIMMEE — A former Florida Highway Patrol captain accused of lying to have a ticket dismissed for a woman whom he had pulled over was found guilty Monday of two misdemeanors.

Sterling L. King, who was fired by the FHP last year when an investigation found inappropriate communication with the woman, faced a third-degree felony charge of official misconduct. But a five-man, one-woman jury found him guilty of the lesser charges of attempted official misconduct and false official statements, both misdemeanors.

King did not testify and did not comment after the verdict.

King had written a letter to the court asking that a ticket he wrote for Alaina Renae Edgemon be dismissed because of a case of mistaken identity. The ticket was issued to Edgemon on May 10, 2004, after King stopped her on the Central Florida GreeneWay.

“I would expect an officer to write a ticket, give you the ticket . . . offer you your choices and then done be with it. But that’s not what happened. He started asking me questions,” Edgemon testified.

Edgemon said King took condoms from her car and e-mailed her about them later.

“At that point, the conversation was by no means what one with a traffic cop should have been,” Edgemon said.

King and the woman exchanged e-mails during the next 19 weeks, according to an FHP investigation.

In June 2004, King wrote a letter to the hearing officer that handles traffic cases in Osceola. Based on that letter, the case was dismissed.

Prosecutors maintained that, by falsifying a public document to illegally obtain a benefit for Edgemon, King committed official misconduct.

King was fined $1,500 and has 30 days to appeal.

King was in charge of Orange and Osceola field operations for about a year. Before that, he was a public-information officer for several years in the Tampa-area FHP troop and transferred to Miami, where he was promoted to captain.

FROM THE BIKERNET HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT–The Boss was in a quandary. He had to fire somebody. He had itnarrowed down to one of two people, Debra or Jack. It was animpossible decision, they were both super workers. Rather than flipa coin, he decided he would fire the first one who used the watercooler the next morning.

Debra came in the next morning with a horrible hang-over afterpartying all night. She went to the cooler to take an aspirin. TheBoss approached her and said, “Debra, I’ve never done this before,but I have to lay you or Jack off.”

“Could you jack off?” she says. “I feel like sh!t.”

MICHAEL LICHTER REPORT–If you enjoy American Thunder on the Speed Channel, 2 segments of tonight’s (Feb 21 Two Wheel Tuesday) program will be on my Mendenhall Sobieski Art Gallery exhibition this past November in Pasadena, CA. The show follows the “V-Twin TV” show, but it is best to check your local listings. (The www.americanthundertv.com website description is below)

Should you be going to Bike Week in Daytona, I have 13 large Limited Edition prints on display in the Orlando Art Museum in conjunction with their “Art of the Motorcycle” exhibit, which is running through July. (see http://www.OMArt.org/ for details)

While it is way in advance, I want to let those of you who have followed the motorcycle art show that I have been producing at the Journey Museum in Rapid City for 5 years is moving. The Journey has been a wonderful venue and has offered me the opportunity to involve the whole industry in shows like “Bob’s Back,” “Kick Start” and “Speed Demons,” in an effort to get more support from the general biking public, the venue will be moving to Thunder Road in Sturgis. It will still be a themed show with many of the top custom builders participating. I’ll get you details as we get closer.

Here’s Boots with a Big Dog. Mike shot the Big Dog Calendar and you can order them on the Big Dog site. You’ll see all the girls of Big Dog on Bikernet shortly.

We continue to ad content to our motorcycle site http://www.lichterphoto.com/, particularly in the stock section (great for you picture browsers and art buyers) as well as new builders and a section of 2005 bikes. Thanks to sponsors Avon Tyres, BIKERNET.COM, the Seminole Hard Rock Roadhouse and Perse Performance, the site continues to be well visited (50,000 users/month, 4 million hits/month).

We have just launched a completely new commercial web site at http://www.lichtercommercial.com/. Visit if you have any interest or needs for commercial photography. A new case study section explains and shows some of the work that went into the 2006 Big Dog Motorcycles promotional campaign.

Perhaps I will see you (probably through a lens) in the next 2 months at Daytona Bike Week in Florida, the Easyriders Denver show, the Easyriders Kansas City invitational show, or at the Heritage Rally in Charleston, SC?

BAD AS HELL FORK CAP (FC1)2000 & UP–

From Chris Hill. This is the ultimate detail piece for any late model Softail or Touring model. Do you need it? Hell no. But if you want to smooth out that right lower leg and make it match the left, there’s only one place to go–Hell.

“Not even Arlen Ness uses billet this strong,” Hill said. “Aerospace canceled 6061-T6 20 years ago, yet bikers think this is strong, but not as strong as current Aerospace. The 7075 product was the new choice and then reduced to a lesser 7050 standard, but I’m keeping to my guns, STRONGER IS SAFER.” It details the tip of your lower leg on dressers and Softails

IT’S A WRAP FOR THIS WEEK–But there’s hot stuff on our plate. One brother responded to my response to H-D Noise Concerns published last week in the news. We’ve been discussing the noise issue ever since. I’ve also discussed the EPA issues with Brett Smith, the President of S&S and we’re making some headway. Brett feels strongly that there needs to be universal noise testing procedures and regulations. I agree, but the decibel levels are a strident issue. If they quiet our systems to the level of Toyotas, I believe more motorcyclists will be in danger.

PEV addressed some of his concerns above, but he made a point. What about sirens and emergency vehicles. They need to make noise or they’re in serious trouble. We do to. On the otherhand, if you blow your neighbors windows out at 2:00 a.m. with a set of open drag pipes on a 124-inch stroker, you deserve to have your ass kicked. So what is an acceptable noise level, that lets motorists know that we’re around and to watch out, yet doesn’t crack windshields. Bikernet wants to perform a series of decibel level tests, and city noise related tests, but we need some testing equipment and recording facilities. Let us know, if you can assist.

In the meantime, let’s have some fun, goddamnit. I need to check on our 45 frame, like the one above at US Choppers. Then it’s Happy Hour at the Dive Joint on the edge of the harbor?

Ride Forever,

The Art Of Harley-Davidson

/ Cultural Interest, Free Departments / February 23, 2006

“Thunder On A Wall” by Fritz

I recently had the opportunity to roll in to Rancho Santa Fe,California and witness the unveiling of Scott Jacobs latestpainting, “Photo Finish”. All three champions depicted in the painting,Chris Carr, Scott Parker andJay Springsteen knelt down for a photo opportunity in the setting Californiasun in front of Scott’slatest masterpiece. The crowd of media representatives was dazzled by hisprecise workmanshiponce more.

That did it. I felt that I needed to share with the brothersand sisters of Bikernet the history of Segal Fine Art and themotorcycling eye-candy that accompanies it. The story is one of apassion for Harleys that comes alive in so many creative forms. Perhaps I cansimply give you a taste of some of the aspects of this wonderful history inwords, like a man separated from his woman for a long period, thesensation he has when he first touches the delicate fuzz on herforearm and feels the comforting sensation rush through him. A custom bike or the art that represents it can afford me that rush.

South Of Clever” by Fritz

Ron started this business in 1984 representing two talentedartists Ting Shao Quan and Marco Sassone. By the early ’90s Ron hadacquired 60 employees and established Segal Fine Art and GregoryEditions. When I asked Greg Segal, Ron’s son, the ingredient to Ron’ssuccess he said, “He is a very good businessman and he treats people fairly.” Thebusiness consisted of representing these art talents, selling theiroriginals and determining which art pieces would be good material forlimited edition prints or lithos.

Ron was riding an eye-candy wave that began in his Woodland Hills, CAgarage, but the professional art world wiped out in the ’90s.Segal split off from Gregory Editions and began to ride out the pooreconomic conditions.

“Bob Wire” by Tom Fritz

In 1993, Scott Jacobs owned an art gallery and was a Segalcustomer. His representative was Ron Copple who visited Scott fromtime to time. Scott owned a Fatboy and had been a dirtbike competitor since he was a kid. Scott painted portraits of famouspeople, when Ron suggested that he paint his passion, motorcycles. Hedid and his second piece was “Live To Ride” which the Segal groupdecided to print. They hit on the road and went to Sturgis where they setup a 10 by 10 booth on Main and woke up to a 9:00 a.m. opening,working the booth until midnight. Amongst their visitors were a few H-D execs who were moved by Scott’s abilities and the Segalpresentation. That helped open a door at the factory that had never beenajar in the past. Scott became the first Harley-Davidson licensedartist.

“FatBoy 2000” by Jacobs

An evolution began to take place throughout the dealernetwork. In the beginning, dealers did not purchase the prints forsale, but generally to decorate their dealerships. The Segal groupbegan a training process to teach dealers how to sell prints of limited edition, finemotorcycle art. It wasn’t until ’99 that 400 dealers carried theirart. There are 85 pieces currently available, some dealers carry a stock of 30or more and some buy every new piece that becomes available. As youreyes wander through some of these works you’ll understand why somedealers want at least one fine example of each creation. Theycurrently have three motorcycle artists creating masterworks ofHarley-Davidson related art. In a standard edition they print 100 smallsized prints, 150 medium sized prints, 100 large and an additional 100 deluxe prints on canvas.

“Jivin’ About Dreams” by Fritz

You can imagine that with each creation comes a certainamount of notoriety. The launching of each piece is tantamount tohaving a child or building a new bike and having it recognized with afeature. I don’t know if I can explain accept by example. If a dealerannies up to buy a particular package of prints, a representative ofSegal and one of their three artists will hop a flight out to thedealership for a special event. Recently, such an occasion took placeat the Wild Boar H-D in Hudsonville, Michigan near Grand Rapids. Greg wasimpressed by a every day looking rider who entered the shop with his wife. They immediately fell in love with David Uhl’s Enthusiast and withoutblinking plunked $2,550 for the 100th anniversary canvas. Before the night was over, they purchased another piece of art and an ’03 two tone Heritage Springer. As it turned outthe man has been fighting bone-marrow cancer for years. The treatments had rendered him too weak to handle certain situations on his bike. Instead of giving up on riding, he switched to a side car. Now his cancer is in remission and he feels strong enough to ride, thus the Springer. “That was a couple was everything that I love about this job in a nutshell. They were passionate about life, riding, the artwork and each other.”

“Fork It Over” by Jacobs

That same night another couple came into the dealership andthe mister was moved by one of the pieces on display called “Catch ofthe Day”. As a matter of fact, he must have stared at it for half an hour. Uncomfortable with spending the $700 plus for the piece he shrugged his shoulders andleft the dealership. His wife snuck back in and dropped a creditcard on the counter. Scott made a point to personalize the print, andlater that evening the couple returned to the dealership. When he saw the “Sold” sign on his piece, he was crushed. Upon looking closer he noticed that the sign was actually an anniversary card from his wife. He was so moved by the inscription, the art and his wife’s efforts that he and everyone around got a little emotional.

Another time Greg flew to Oaxaca, Mexico to celebrate a oncein a life time HOG rally in the small mountain community. Each yearthe Mexican HOG Group travels to another city to celebrate the rally. The

“Ruby” by Uhl

Segal group shipped lithos and canvas prints unframed to thedealership. The locals framed each selection in the traditional bold, bright green andblood red frames. “The choice of the frames had nothing to do with bringing out subtle highlights in the image,” Greg said cringing, “but the people lovedthem.” Willie G. and Jeff Bleustein rode in the parade through townwhich drew people out of the hills who had never seen a Harley in the community that was home to Mayan ruins. “The response was an incredible experience. Everybody on a bike was treated like a celebrity.”Greg said.

“Live To Ride” by Jacobs

As you will see, we have examples and biographies on eachartist. This year is obviously special with the 100th anniversaryand four fine art lithographs to represent this historic birthday. “Growing up around the art business, I got to know the stereotypical artist…high maintenance, egocentric, a little nuts,” Greg said of the typical artists’mentality, “It is a priviledge to work with Tom, David and Scott, who don’t fit the artist mold. Each one is good people, down to earth and a delight to work with.”

For the 100th anniversary each piece was printed on 250 framedcanvas presentations graced with the 100th logo–all of which have sold out.Still they printed 1200 lithos of each creation in one size. They areall triple matted and framed with a 100th anniversary logos and onlyavailable through Segal or your local dealership.

Segal Fine Arts is now housed in a 60,000 square footbuilding in Louisville, Colorado. Doug Komhyr of Van Gogh Again Editions handles all of their printing and happens to be their only tennant. They are located under the looming ContinentalDivide between Boulder, Colorado and Denver. Five dogs and twoHarleys accompany the crew of 11 on a daily basis. While they makea living in one of the most beautiful areas of the country,it’s representing motorcycle art that makes a grown man cry, others wish forthe open road and women understand why we ride.

SCOTT JACOBS “100 GREAT YEARS”
Scott worked closely with Willie G. on project: Willie selected allbikesfrom the archives. Each bike has special significance in H-D’shistory.Scott used 000 brush (pencil point size) resulting in over 400 hrs.time spent on actual brush to canvas.Prospective is that all tank logos and tops of engines exposed forhistorical accuracy.Scott’s most challenging work to date with detail so acute he even usedMetallic inks on some of the tanks for visual accents.This work is considered a major accomplishment in the Photo-RealisticStyle of fine art. Given the complexity of the detail of the bikes,this painting is the benchmark by which all other photo-realisticworks will be judged.(Note: Years of the bikes from earliest; 1905, 1915, 1921, 1933,1936, 1981, 2002.)

DAVID UHL’S “A MODEL CHAMPION”
Depiction is from H-D’s archives; circa 1914. Scene shows first racebike, which had just won its maiden race. Important from thisstandpoint: Bike models that won races = bike models that sold well.Discussion around bike is by H-D execs and Press praising innovationsof bike and talking about how to improve capabilities.Difficulty from a technical standpoint: Lighting on an indoorpainting is crucial due to its refraction off the different objectsin the room. Painting from a poor quality black and white photopresents no keys to the artist as to gradations of shadows orintensity of light. Notice that a subtle light embraces each of thesubject’s expressions constituting the character of the painting.The best part: “SEPARATE FROM THE PACK”, the modern mantra ofToday’s rider can be traced back to 1914. Notice that every personis wearing a different style of hat; a commentary on individualism.

TOM FRITZ’S “GREAT DOINGS”
Tom’s palette is rich with color and imagination. Depiction is afather and son at a board-track race. Strength and determinationare the themes of this work.Lighting is key to the composition; Looking off into the sunset, feelthe warmth as it is absorbed by the central subjects. Tom usesshadow to accentuate the rays of sunshine gleaming from the bike.This is a painting that could easily be over-explained so we’llsummarize: Harleys, racing, lineage, patriotism, awesome painting,good job Tom!

DAVID UHL’S “ENTHUSIAST”
Classic “Light and Shadow Painting”; main subjects (woman and bike)are enveloped in warm sunshine as the background serves more as asuggestion to the story. Colors dance in the shadows and disappearinto atmospheric shapes.Out for a ride on a splendid day, she stops by the post-office andpicks up the latest edition of ENTHUSIAST magazine. As she kicksback, the viewer is reminded of what it’s all about: Sunshine andHarley-Davidsons. The issue is circa 1953 so we are at the mid-pointof the centennial.As we begin to gravitate from the main subjects, the focus becomesthe diminutive gas attendant cowering next to the pump wondering whatto do now. Or maybe he’s just admiring her from afar; we are simplyleft to wonder. All good art is just a window to our imaginations.Masterpiece of epic proportions; enough said.

Bios on the artists:

TOM FRITZ
For those who are not familiar with this award-winning artist, it iseasily seen that he is extremely passionate about his work. Tom has aparticular style and brushstroke, which allows him to bring his subjects tolife. The way he integrates intense colors and soft lines makes his imagesjump off the canvas.

His work can be found in many private and corporate collections aroundthe world, including General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Pittsburgh Paintand Glass, and Petersen Publishing Company. In 1999, Fritz completed afour-painting commission for Harley-Davidson Motor Company, depicting theircolorful history. The finished works were published in the 1998 AnnualReport and were later reproduced as a highly successful limited-editionseries of prints.

Tom draws much of his inspiration from his family. He shares a home withwife Molly and their two children, daughter Emily and son Wesley. Withouttheir support and encouragement he could not jump on board the wild ridethat an artist’s life seems to dictate.

DAVID UHL
David Uhl is an artist’s artist. His technique, realistic with animpressionistic flair, breathes fantastic life into even the most ordinaryof subject matter. He is now among the select few officially licensed fineartists of Harley-Davidson Motor Company.

An avid rider since 1988, Uhl’s passion finally coincided with hisartistic talent. Upon viewing his work, Harley-Davidson allowed him intotheir guarded archives, to research vintage photos for his paintings.Captivated by Harley’s extraordinary history, he has set out to memorializethe legacy. David Uhl’s work reflects his ability to place himself into eraspast and capture the prevailing pioneer spirit witnessed throughout Harley’srich history. Some day we will all be saying “I knew him when…”

SCOTT JACOBS
Although Scott Jacobs drew pen-and-ink illustrations for his schoolnewspaper, he actually began his career in art by purchasing a failinggallery at the age of nineteen. At twenty-one, Scott opened Reflections onCanvas Gallery in Westfield, N.J., a gallery that he turned into a stellarsuccess. After receiving a set of paints from his wife for Christmas, Scottbecame passionate about painting. He now has a body of work that confirmsthe wisdom of that gift.

Scott merged his love of motorcycles with his tremendous abilities tobecome the first ever officially licensed Harley-Davidson artist. Scott’smotorcycle work as been featured in VQ Magazine, American Iron, Art BusinessNews, Easyriders Magazine, U.S. Art, Art World News, as well as a host ofother publications. Jacobs is one of todays most sought after artists andhis work sells throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia.

Century Canvas Available From Segal

Just a quick note to say we have a few Phase I canvases available onDrae’s 100th Anniversary artwork: “Century”. Any customer with a2003 Fatboy is a prime candidate for this very limited piece. Itcomes with 100th frame package; while they last.
