  Southern-fried rock and roll of all different colors and flavors. It was a crispy July morning in Winston Salem. I was at the car show, soaking in the sun, as the candy paint reflections of hot rods and choppers cooked my skin from all angles, like the Smoke Out did the weekend before.

I seriously applaud what the Buffalo Chip is trying to do to empower women and I agreed.

Love Jugs is the result of years of research and development to reduce the operating temperature of all Harley motorcycles.
