Bit by an Alligator Just for Flippinā€™ over Pancakes!!!

  Petersen Automotive Museum Breakfast Cruise-In. When the Petersen Museum announced that the first 150 motorcyclists who showed up got a free Sunday morning pancake breakfast plus two for one museum entrance tickets, people were setting their alarm clocks, this rider/writer included. In part it had to do with an exhibit of cafĆ© racers on display, but any excuse to ride for free grub brought out a full menu of machines of all sizes and flavors, spanning the decades from 1960 to the present and beyond. You could say it was syrup on the pancake when this rider/writer showed up on the rooftop of the museum to encounter not only a bevy of about 100 bikes, but a slew of ...

Barnett Low Profile Lock-Up Pressure Plate

1998-14 HD Big Twins (except 2013-14 CVO/SE) The all new Barnett ā€œLow Profileā€ Lock-up Pressure Plate for 1998-14 Harley Davidson Big Twins (except 2013-14 CVO/SE) is specifically designed to fit under stock or aftermarket primary and derby covers and increases the capacity of your stock clutch while keeping lever effort to a minimum- even with big inch motors! Itā€™s done by using stainless steel weighted arms that progressively increase pressure to the clutch as RPMā€™s increase. Three different sets of six coil springs (light, medium, heavy) are included for a variety of spring pressure options.

Dottie Mattern is top woman Cannonball Rider

With only two days to the finish, Dottie Mattern holds an edge to earn the honor of becoming the top woman competitor in this 16-day, 4,000-mile event for riders on pre-1937 antique motorcycles. Not only is she top woman, but at 70, she is the oldest woman Cannonballer. Dottie lost a perfect score on Day 11 when the magneto on her 78-year-old Indian exploded, but was soon on the road again thanks to having a spare magneto in her saddlebag. Currently, she stands at 2996 points. Other female Cannonballers are Sharon Jacobs, 2722 points; Chris Sommer Simmons, 2718 points; and Claudia Gantaroli who earned 1552 before her motorcycle failed on Day 8. Matternā€™s determination to finish is not just for ...

Whatā€™s Cool?

    The people we aspired to be decades ago. The people we aspired to be decades ago were much different than the celebrities young people looked up to today. The values of our past have nearly vanished, but I'm hoping that if everyone sees this, they might think differently about what "cool" was yesterday and what is considered "cool" today. . . really isn't. Share and remind everyone what "cool" used to be like! CLICK to read...
