  After several hundred motorcyclists shut down the 10 Freeway so one biker could propose to his girlfriend on the pavement, the California Highway Patrol says criminal charges could be filed. A YouTube video of the dramatic interstate proposal, posted below, drew attention to the event, which happened Sunday under a freeway overpass in West Covina, about 20 miles east of Los Angeles.   In the video, many dozens of motorcyclists occupied all eastbound lanes of the freeway, with the pack headed toward the overpass where family members were gathered, looking down.

NEW TWIN-CAM JIMS TECH FROM ROGUE

Stock cams and stock valve springs don't put as much of a load on the cam bearings, so the stock bearings are adequate for that application. If you put in a performance cam with more lift, you increase spring pressure so the stress on the cam bearing increases, and of course with a performance cam, you will tend to drive it harder.   With a series of JIMS tools Rogue replaced INA cam bearings with the tougher Torrington jobs.   Check it out!

Motorcycle Makers Tune Up For New Riders

Like the auto business, the two-wheeled category, in recent years, has been putting an emphasis on less expensive machines with smaller-engine displacement, but that share some features with their bigger, more powerful brethren.   And like autos, the point is to give non-riders a less expensive gateway to the brand, and create life-long loyal customers in the process. Ideally they will be loyal and move up the ladder to more advanced bikes. Just like cars. That was certainly evident at this year’s New York International Motorcycle show this month.  Ty van Hooydonk, director of communications for the Motorcycle Industry Council, says the demand is there.
