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

The migration to online commerce is a phenomenon that has transformed the marketplace over the last decade and has become a permanent fixture in the world of retailing. Like any change, there are disadvantages. Often times, in an effort to offer the widest variety of product choices, it can become a challenge as a buyer to make up your mind which way to go. Most customers, particularly in our world, historically had enough familiarity with their bikes and their preferences to make a sound decision between the OEM brand and maybe two or three options offered at a local dealer.  Love it or hate it, we’re not in that world anymore.  On the upside, you have tons of options; on ...

Harley-Davidson Inc. has issued another safety recall on its 2014 Project Rushmore motorcycles, this one for a defect that could result in the loss of brake fluid. The recall is for trikes manufactured from July 24 through Sept. 2, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The recall affects 436 cycles manufactured during this period. Due to an incorrectly machined part, the trike may have an excessive steering angle that allows the inner fairing to come into contact with a brake fluid reservoir, resulting in a loss of fluid. Also, the steering damper may be damaged. This is the second recall of Project Rushmore motorcycles. Last month, Harley recalled about 29,000 bikes and trikes for hydraulic clutch system problems. ...

  NEAR KARMAH, Iraq (June 29, 2007) – A forward resuscitative surgical system never, ever stands still while treating a wounded Marine – until today, when Cpl. Gareth Hawkins, 23, demanded to reenlist before being medically evacuated. What is a vet? He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carriers didn’t run out of fuel. He is the barroom loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery near the 38th parallel.. She or he is the nurse who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every ...
