Outlaw Bikernet Weekly News for October 12, 2017

Hey,

We witness change everyday sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worst. For instance I grew up in the ‘50s. My parents were violent and men were tough or died trying in WWII and Korea.

Maybe the pendulum has swung to the other side and young outlaws want families and all the trappings of comforts because it’s seen as fun and that’s a very good thing. But can us old outlaws understand?

AMERICAN FLAT TRACK Names STURGIS BUFFALO CHIP Best Event of 2017– The prestigious new award was presented to Buffalo Chip owner Rod Woodruff at the Temecula, CA banquet Sunday evening.

American Flat Track presented the Sturgis Buffalo Chip with a major new “Best Event of the Year” Award Sunday evening at the organization’s annual award banquet held in Temecula, CA. A monumental partnership between American Flat Track and the Sturgis Buffalo Chip resulted in the epic, award-winning Buffalo Chip TT presented by Indian Motorcycle.

The event electrified motorcycle enthusiasts from around the globe in the world-famous Buffalo Chip amphitheater on Sunday, Aug. 6, 2017. Designed by seven-time Grand National Champion Chris Carr, the track includes some of the most thrilling elements on the circuit, such as right hand turns and jumps, all calculated to create intense racing excitement.

Racers and spectators alike enjoyed the wholly extraordinary and exhilarating race.

“The AFT races at the Buffalo Chip took motorcycle racing to a whole new level and right into the heart of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally,” said Michael Lock, CEO of American Flat Track. “The Buffalo Chip TT, the first ever to be held at the world’s biggest motorcycle festival, was an incredible racing event deserving of this award. We are looking forward to even more heart-stopping racing action at the Chip in 2018.”

Immediately following the races, crews transformed the track area back into the Wolfman Jack Main Stage infield in anticipation of a world-class performance by Shinedown. Race and music festival fans were center stage for an evening full of high-energy entertainment unlike one the world had ever seen.

“We are incredibly honored to receive this prestigious new award,” said Rod Woodruff, Buffalo Chip President. “The partnership with American Flat Track opened a whole new world of professional racing for the Buffalo Chip and our guests. The TT course carved out of the middle of the Chip’s amphitheater not only made for the most unique motorcycle racing on earth but also the wildest concert warm-up the world has ever seen.”

The Buffalo Chip TT will take place on Sunday, Aug. 5, 2018. Passes for the 2018 Buffalo Chip events are now on sale and may be purchased at www.BuffaloChip.com.

BIKERNET INTERNATIONAL EDITOR LOST FOR A YEAR IN THE JUNGLES OF SOUTHEAST ASIA–
Had requests for updates so here is the start. Flying an airline I never heard of before. Chosen based on the optimal time of arrival in Bkk at 11:30 am.

Heading to a smaller town – Khon Kaen, up country for a friends wedding

Flying Xiamen Airlines on a new Boeing 787-9. Pretty blue and cream colored interior. Nice multicolored mood lights. Interactive movies etc. good meals. Dinner chicken coque a vin. Mashed potatoes and Land O Lakes butter Walt. Breakfast omelette with a piece of the best bacon I have had in a very long time. Fruit. Spinach etc. in between was a ham sandwich (2) snack.

Very attractive staff. Best I’ve seen in years. Smart blue uniforms and a little hat.

Many movies to choose from. I watched The Fast Five. Circle and a Julia Roberts one.

The Xiamen airport in Xiamen doesn’t have a transit area so you have to customs out and back in to get a ticket issued for the Bkk leg. Nice newer and big. 14.5 hrs to here and about three more to Bkk. About a two hour layover so no stress and time to do this email. About 40 minutes of processing and lucky it’s not busy crowded.

So it’s 8:30 now and I am at the gate. Trying to get a Burger King combo for about 8$ but they don’t take USD.

9:00 boarding.

astrobleme [ahr-key-dee-uh n]
adjective
noun
1. Geology. an erosional scar on the earth’s surface, produced by the impact of a cosmic body, as a meteorite or asteroid.

QUOTES
Only one astrobleme in Europe fit the description, a crater called the Ries that lay some 300 kilometers to the east, on the northern shore of the Danube River.

ORIGIN
Astrobleme is formed from two Greek words, ástron “star” and blêma “a throw of the dice, missile, wound.” Greek ástron is akin to Latin stella (from an unrecorded sterula), and Germanic (English) star. Blêma derives from the Greek root bal-, ble-, bol- “to throw,” source of ballistic, problem (Greek próblema “something put forward (to solve)”), parabola and parable (Greek parabol? “comparison, juxtaposition, something put alongside for comparison”). Astrobleme entered English in the 20th century.

That said, I’m in the process of putting together my last “build.” More like an assembly job. I need help.

I have most of the parts, but to be honest don’t know if what I’ve collected for my rolling chassis is what’s best. It’s essential I find a knowledgeable and caring community to mentor me… That’s why I’m here. I don’t facebook and other than e-mail don’t fool with social media.

Thanks and Happy Trails

QUICK, OPEN THE BIKERNET BAD JOKE LIBRARY– During the weeks before Amy’s wedding, she was terribly anxious about making some mistakes at the ceremony. The minister reassured her several times, pointing out that the service was not difficult and she will do just fine.

“All you have to remember,” he said, “is that when you enter the church you walk up the AISLE. The groom and best man will be waiting before the ALTAR. Then I shall request the congregation to sing a HYMN… then we shall get on with the ceremony.

All you have to remember is the order in which those things happen and you can’t go wrong.”

The happy day finally arrived, and the bridegroom waited nervously for his bride to appear. When she arrived and stood alongside him, he heard her quietly repeating to herself, “Aisle, altar, hymn, aisle, altar, hymn.”

Or, as it sounded to him, “I’ll alter him!”

Thank You for the article. I’m trying to determine the fork length I’ll be needing… and what the trail will be. Why is the tube length measured from the bottom of the tree, as opposed to the top? I’ve seen that calculation elsewhere, but it makes no sense to me.

Thank You for your advice.

Yes, keep the whiskey flowing, the girls growing, and freedom blowing in the wind. I have learned how insignificant the earth is, how meaningless strife is, and how wasteful bad thoughts are. Be warm, helpful and respectful everyday.

Regarding Bikernet and our future. I believe we have started to open wider doors to social media and Bikernet readership, with your help (and Robintek and the Saddlemen staff) our numbers are going to grow significantly in 2018. It’s going to be a very exciting year.

RAMPED-UP ALERT– National Fleet Products Introduces Interior-mount, Spring-Assist, Swivel-Action WM System Loading Ramps for Rear- and Side-Door Applications–Lightweight, skid-resistant WM System Loading Ramps by National Fleet Products can be installed in as little as two hours, handle load capacities of between 880 and 4,000 pounds and are so easy to deploy and retract that even a child could do it.

National Fleet Products, a leading North American supplier of loading ramps and other aftermarket accessories for commercial vehicles, formally announced the introduction of several versions of its unique WM System Loading Ramps. Designed as a low-cost, maintenance-free alternative to hydraulic liftgates, WM System ramps are suitable for a wide array of vehicle applications, including everything from vans to box trucks to class-8 trailers and service and delivery vehicles of all types.

The ramps are intelligently engineered to vertically stow just inside rear- and side-access doors and take up approximately 8.5 inches of depth when folded and locked. With their built-in spring-assist feature and sturdy side handles, they require only about 20 pounds of force and about five seconds to unfold or be folded back into their low-profile vertical storage position.

The ramps each incorporate a swivel-action mechanism that enables them to swing 90 degrees in and out like a door, allowing users to have unfettered vehicle access when the ramp is not in use. Vehicle-specific mounting plates are available for all major platform makes and models, and installation can take as little as two hours to complete.

Ramps permanently mounted or stored on the exterior of commercial vehicles can be exposed to a wide variety of chemicals and challenging environmental conditions that can result in equipment failures and high repair and maintenance costs. Dirt, moisture and ice can also accumulate on surfaces, making them slippery and hazardous to navigate. Small, rear-mounted liftgates often present a physical barrier as well and may, in some cases, interfere with a vehicle’s ability to tow.

“By storing inside the vehicle until deployment, WM System Loading Ramps remain cleaner and drier than exterior-mounted hydraulic liftgates,” Peterson said. “The aluminum WM System ramps come in both ridged and shot-blast anti-slip surface textures that significantly improve traction on inclined surfaces, while reducing the risk of injury from a loss of footing.”

When required, a WM System ramp can also function as a bridge or gangplank for use with loading docks, vehicle-to-vehicle cargo transfers and access to other elevated surfaces like steps. Whether used as a traditional ramp or as a horizontal span, the WM System provides a remarkably stable surface for those working on and around it.

WM System Loading Ramps come in two-panel configurations in lengths of between 98 and 128 inches, and three-panel configurations in lengths of up to 16 feet. Ramp ends have rollers and adjustable flaps that can accommodate a wide variety of surface angles and textures.

Contact National Fleet Products directly by calling (763) 762-3451 or by sending an email to sales@nationalfleetproducts.com.

NEW STUDY: GLOBAL WARMING STANDSTILL CONFIRMED, CLIMATE MODELS WRONG– International Journal of Heat and Technology

Natural climate variability: Interpretation of the post 2000 temperature standstill

These people were very explicit by providing the following scientific criterion to validate the models: “The simulations rule out (at the 95% level) zero trends for intervals of 15 year or more, suggesting that an observed absence of warming of this duration is needed to create a discrepancy with the expected present-day warming rate” [18].

By using such a 15-year interval criterion, in Ref. [1] we tested the CMIP5 GCMs against the observations in the periods 1922-1941, 1980-1999 and 200-2016. The first two periods were selected because they are characterized by a strong and compatible warming rate but by very different rate of anthropogenic GHG emissions.

On the contrary, the 2000- 2017 period is characterized by a very strong increase of anthropogenic GHG emissions while the temperature has been quasi stationary. Our statistical analysis [1] confirmed with a 95% confidence that the GCMs fail to properly reconstruct the temperature trends in 1922-1941 and in 2000-2017. Thus, according to the very criterion proposed by the AGWT advocates themselves, the GCMs used to support the AGWT are demonstrated to be flawed.

Herein, a detailed study of the natural climatic variability observed after 2000 in six available global temperature records versus the performance of the GCMs is carried out. We also critically analyze the year 2015-2016, which has been famed as the hottest year on record. We show that this anomaly is simply due to a strong El-Niño event that has induced a sudden increase of the global surface temperature by 0.6 oC. This event is unrelated to anthropogenic emissions. In fact, an even stronger El-Niño event occurred in 1878 when the sudden increase of the global surface temperature was 0.8 oC: see Figure 2 in Ref. [1]. Finally, for the post 2000 period we compare the predictions of the CMIP5 GCMs used by the IPCC [2013], against that of two semi-empirical models proposed a few years ago [15,19].

These models were based on a specific number of natural oscillations suggested by astronomical considerations plus an anthropogenic warming effect strongly reduced by 50% relative to the GCM predictions. We stress that the latter result is consistent with recent scientific literature findings [20] confirming that the real climate sensitivity to CO2 doubling is about half, that is between 1 oC and 2 oC, than what predicted by the GCMs supporting the AGWT, which is about 3 oC [4].

QUICK, OPEN THE BIKERNET BAD JOKE LIBRARY— A blind guy sits down in a diner and says to the waiter, “I’m sorry, but I’m blind and I can’t read the menu. So just bring me a dirty fork, I’ll smell it, and order from there.

“The waiter picks up a greasy fork, and hands it to the blind guy. The blind guy puts the fork to his nose, breathes deep, and says, “Ah…that’s what I’ll have…meatloaf and mashed potatoes.

The waiter can’t believe it, and he goes and tells his wife, Betty, who’s the cook.

The next day the blind guy walks in and the waiter says, “I’ll get
you a dirty fork.”

He gets a dirty fork, hands it to the blind guy, the blind guy smells it, and says, “That smells great. I’ll take the macaroni and cheese with broccoli.”

The waiter thinks the blind guy is bullshitting with him, so the next day when the blind guy walks in, he goes into the kitchen and says to his wife, “Betty, rub this fork on your crotch.” She does it, and then he goes out and hands it to the blind guy.

The blind guy puts the fork to his nose, takes a deep whiff, and says, “Are you kidding me? I didn’t know Betty worked here!”

By Paul d’Orléans

The Big 3. For a time, they were the last men standing in the American motorcycle industry: Excelsior-Henderson, Harley-Davidson and Indian. They fought hard on the dirt tracks, race tracks, hill climbs and sales floors, and in their 1920s heyday, the competition between the Big 3 made for the most exciting racing anyone had ever seen between the fastest and most advanced racing bikes in the world.

SONS OF SPEED Back at New Smyrna Speedway for Third Race During Daytona Biketoberfest —

Billy Lane’s thrilling Sons of Speed boardtrack motorcycle race is back for a third running during the 25th Chrome Anniversary of Daytona Beach Biketoberfest. On Saturday, October 21, at 3:15 p.m., thirteen daredevil motorcycle racers will take to the banked track at New Smyrna Speedway in Daytona Beach.

“We’re coming off the second SOS race, which took place at Sturgis this year,” said Billy Lane, renowned bike builder and founder of Sons of Speed. “That was a lot of fun, but nothing beats the banked track at New Smyrna—this is where riders let it all hang out.”

Inspired by early twentieth-century board-track racers, the Sons of Speed race hearkens back to a stripped down, wide-open approach to motorcycle riding. Held at New Smyrna Speedway’s half-mile, banked racetrack, the third SOS race will feature thirteen riders in several different heats, and winners of the heats will advance to a championship round. Each racer will sit astride hand-built racing chassis holding pre-1925 1,000cc American V-Twin engines, and most racers will customize their machines by fabricating handlebars, exhaust, fenders, foot pegs and fuel/oil tanks.

The thirteen Sons of Speed racers feature some of the best riders and well-known personalities in the business—they are: Billy Lane, Xavier Muriel, Ken Curtis, Shelly Rossmeyer-Pepe, Buzz Kanter, Dan Toce, Rhett Rotten, Ebay Jake, Rick Petcko, Mark Hanna, Freddie Bollwage, Matt Walksler, Brook James, Matt Harris and Moonshiner Josh Owens.

And SOS isn’t the only excitement going down on Saturday—in the New Smyrna Speedway parking lot, on the same day, the inaugural Old Speed Show will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is free for people and machines, and the event is open to any and all racing motorcycles of any style or age, including roadracers, dirt trackers, hillclimbers, Moto X and drag racers. And, in addition, the show will feature interesting and cool handcrafted motorcycles, hot rod cars and trucks. Presented by American Iron Magazine and brought to you by Dennis Kirk, American Iron Garage, Choppers, Inc., and Greaserag.com, the Old Speed Show is the perfect way to get revved up for the third Sons of Speed race.

Check out the Sons of Speed Facebook page for breaking news and upcoming events. You can purchase general admission tickets at the gate for $20. A limited amount of 50 VIP tickets will be available for purchase at the gate that will allow infield access.

For more information on the debut race and to buy tickets, check out the Facebook event page.

PAUL “PABLO” EDDY R.I.P.

Info from Ed Trudersheim

Trailblazer, Paul Eddy lost his life on Sunday, October 1st in Baja, Mexico. He was a long time member and Trail Master of the Los Ancianos Motorcycle Club. As was always his way, he was riding alone, looking for new trails. On Saturday afternoon, he was returning early to Rancho Santana from the first day of an overnight cub ride to Laguna Hanson. On a side trail, very close to the main road, he hit some sort of fence. He was found by a club member on Sunday, over 20 hours later. He was conscious, but en route to the Trauma Center in Mexicali, he succumbed to his injuries. A member was by his side. He was a huge and irreplaceable part of the club and literally embodied all that is Los Ancianos. The LAMC family will never, ever, be the same. Condolences to all his many friends and family. God Speed Pablo.

Ronnie Gould #23 passed away 2 months ago. He was from Riverside, California. He was popular and a truly nice guy. In the April 1957 issue of American Motorcycling are the results of Daytona’s 20th Anniversary race. Ronnie had the pole in the 100 Mile Race after timing at 113.92 mph. Slower times then the year before because of a 13 mph headwind. The race was won by Kenny Brown and Ronnie came in 24th. We will miss you Ronnie.

ROLAND SANDS SUPER HOOLIGAN RACING

Cycle News also has a story in issue 38 about the Hooligan racing. It all started at Costa Mesa Speedway with Harley street bikes. It has drifted a bit with its smash and bash and relaxed rules.

AUSTRALIAN SALES ALERT– Australian Motorcycle Sales Figures
January 1 2017 through September 30 2017

Sales down 7.8 per cent (all sectors)

Honda #1 Overall

Harley lead road bike market

Yamaha lead off-road sales

Road sales retract 14.9 per cent

Dirtbike sales drop 5 per cent

Honda continue to lead the way in overall sales when results from all sectors of the market are combined but once again Harley-Davidson rules the roadbike market.

In fact, the Harley-Davidson FXSB Breakout is the outright biggest selling motorcycle in Australia across all categories. Besting even Honda’s NBC110 as used by Australia post, 1092 sales of the Breakout versus 1086 units for the NBC110. Yamaha’s WR450F was next best, third overall, and the biggest selling off-road bike.

UNCLE MONKEY ON AFTERMARKET PARTS– Once you go beyond the factory bolt on custom parts you are pretty much left to your own devices. Few, if any parts, come with installation instructions or even proper set-up guide lines for once they are installed. You stare at the part, stare at the bike and make an educated guess as to whether it will work or not.

Sometimes the pocket book pushes you to make things on the fly, fabricating something out of nothing or at least out of the scrap bin of steel you keep hidden in the corner. You measure here, measure there before laying waste to the iron.

An adjustment here, a tweak there, a bump and a dimple for style leaves a functioning part on your hands. A full day of grinding, welding, burn blisters, and iron splinters but now it is done. You dry fit it one more time.

That is when your heart sinks. You missed a measurement, missed some other part that interferes like a kick start arm, or the part just simply looks ugly as sin. A full day spent on something that will take its own place in the scrap pile. It is part of building.

Any builder who says he hasn’t wasted a day only to throw the part away it lying. You chock it up to learning, honing your skills. You vow that next time you won’t make the same mistake. And you probably won’t because something else will waste your time. And that is what all the fun is about.

INDIAN MOTORCYCLE RACING’S 2018 CONTINGENCY PROGRAM OFFERS MORE THAN $350,000 IN PERFORMANCE INCENTIVES– The Indian Scout FTR750, Flat Track’s Most Dominant Motorcycle, Now Available with Unmatched Incentives for Race Teams & Privateers

Indian Motorcycle Racing, which captured the 2017 American Flat Track Manufacturer’s Championship, is offering professional flat track race teams and privateers unmatched incentives to compete on its premier Scout FTR750 race bike. More than $350,000 in contingency is available for those who ride an Indian for 2018.

The Scout FTR750 powered arguably the most dominant season in flat track history, as the Indian Wrecking Crew swept the American Flat Track Championship and combined for 14 total wins, 37 podiums and six podium sweeps. Jared Mees, the 2017 Grand National Champion, won 10 races and set a new single-season record with 17 total podiums.

The bike’s superiority was further exemplified at the Lone Star Half-Mile, when privateer Johnny Lewis captured his only podium of the season in his first race aboard the Scout FTR750.

“After a historic return to professional racing, and the incredible success of the Scout FTR750 and our factory team, we are committing to support privateer racers who ride an Indian in 2018,” said Reid Wilson, Marketing Director – Indian Motorcycle. “Beyond the Indian Wrecking Crew, we received strong and enthusiastic feedback from select privateer riders who raced the Scout FTR750 during the 2017 season.”

Indian Motorcycle Racing’s contingency structure breaks down by the following:

· Championship – $25,000

· 1st – $5,000

· 2nd – $4,000

· 3rd – $3,000

· 4th – $2,000

· 5th – $1,000

VETERANS’ HEALTH ALERT–

While some say they are happy with the treatment they receive from the VA is good the majority of those I have spoken to are not happy with it or portions of it, me included.
By that I mean some of the doctors and staff seem to care while others have given me the opinion of Oh Well.

With the current administration and new head of the VA changes are being made. They are taking time to get from the top to the veterans who actually are waiting for and getting treatment.

I for one have been very active in contacting the VA with issues I am having and even and even going to my elected officials to get results.

If you are receiving treatment at the VA and are satisfied with it please let them know. If you are one of those who is not happy, let the VA, Elected Officials, and the Media Know.

The article below was in Florida Today Newspaper.–Rogue

Lax reporting, secret settlements allow problem health care workers to keep treating patients elsewhere.

Behind the walls of the nation’s oldest veterans’ hospital, the reports were grim.
Medical experts from the Department of Veterans Affairs blamed one botched surgery after another on a lone podiatrist.

They said Thomas Franchini drilled the wrong screw into the bone of one veteran. He severed a critical tendon in another. He cut into patients who didn’t need surgeries at all. Twice, he failed to properly fuse the ankle of a woman, who chose to have her leg amputated rather than endure the pain.

In 88 cases, the VA concluded, Franchini made mistakes that harmed veterans at the Togus hospital in Maine. The findings reached the highest levels of the agency.

“We found that he was a dangerous surgeon,” former hospital surgery chief Robert Sampson said during a deposition in a federal lawsuit against the VA.

Agency officials didn’t fire Franchini or report him to a national database that tracks problem doctors. They let him quietly resign and move on to private practice, then failed for years to disclose his past to his patients and state regulators who licensed him.
He works as a podiatrist in New York City.

In some cases, agency managers do not report troubled practitioners to the National Practitioner Data Bank, making it easier for them to keep working with patients elsewhere. The agency failed to ensure VA hospitals reported disciplined providers to state licensing boards.

In other cases, veterans’ hospitals signed secret settlement deals with dozens of doctors, nurses and health care workers that included promises to conceal serious mistakes — from break- downs in supervision to dangerous medical errors — even after forcing them out of the VA.

USA TODAY reviewed hundreds of confidential VA records, including about 230 secret settlement deals never before seen by the public. The records from 2014 and 2015 offer a narrow window into a secretive, long-standing government practice that allows the VA to cut short employees’ challenges to discipline.

Michael Carome, director of health research at Public Citizen, said removing records from personnel files and providing neutral references create potential danger beyond the VA.

New VA leaders promised accountability, including increased transparency and a crackdown on bad employees.

In the years since, the VA has fired hundreds of employees who treat patients. Details of each case — including the names of fired doctors — largely remain secret.

In denying requests for information, the agency cited federal privacy law and said protecting employees’ privacy outweighed the public’s right to know about problems with veterans’ care.
Agency leaders who took over after President Trump’s inauguration declined to discuss how their predecessors handled cases uncovered by USA TODAY.

In response to USA TODAY’s findings, VA Secretary David Shulkin ordered that all future settlement deals involving payments of more than $5,000 be approved by top VA officials in Washington. Decisions had been left to local and regional officials. The settlements USA TODAY reviewed involved workers at more than 100 facilities in 42 states.

The VA said it will review its policy of reporting only some medical professionals to the national data bank after USA TODAY’s questions about its investigation of Franchini, who did not get a settlement.

Thursday November 2nd
Cruisin Starts At Noon

INCREDIBLE— Life is nuts. And we’re all searching for answers and the right path to take. What if tomorrow the truth about climate change is revealed. Will every politician and EPA staff member apologize to the American public for torturing us for the last two decades? Will they give us the money back? 

It’s hard for control-freaks to give in, but let’s see what happens next.

In the meantime I will continue to build old Harleys, new Harleys, Indians, Bonneville racers and stop only for Redheads and whiskey.

Tomorrow I will try like hell to finish Frankie’s Dyna Tech and start on a Panhead Project tech. I may start wiring this weekend. No, I’ll build the pipes first.

I will also start on my Vegas Bikefest story with Jack McIntyre shots. I had a blast and that event is coming to life in old downtown Vegas with wild bikes, freaks and hot broads. Hell, I ate in Bugsy Siegel’s Restaurant in the El Cortez, the oldest Casino in Vegas, with my brother Joe Zanelli, who owns Rocky’s Sports Bar. Amazing.

Both of the above techs involve several Spectro Oils. It’s never dull around here.

Ride free forever.
