"Small Block V-8"
- From: CromagnaMan
-
Description:
One of the main reasons I bought Vance & Hines exhausts for my Magna, is when I release the throttle and allow the compression from the motor to decelerate the bike, it sounds very much like a Chevy small block V-8 engine. I love that sound ... that "rumbling" growling almost "popping" sound. I just had to make a video to demonstrate! Hope you enjoy it!

Meeting myself along the road
- From: kimmer127

Description:
Today was the first decent day for riding since I took delivery of my RoadGlide last Friday barring those Sunday when I was committed to non-cycling family events. My ride was waxed and polished and ready for the road. It was a brisk 5 degrees Celsius or about 41 for my American friends.
I headed out onto the highway to really get the measure of thi9s new ride. The customizations include Reinhart exhausts, Big Sucker Stage I air cleaner kit and the 95 Cu inch kit. The exhaust sounds wicked and the response to a touch at the throttle makes me grin insanely. Hamilton and the Harley Dealer there are 62 km away.
I was musing about my cyrrent book. I am re-reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance; a book I read when it first was published in the 70's. My return to riding has seen a huge shift in my thinking and in my sense of priorities. Things change a lot when you retire and are no longer "on the clock" I was caught up in thinking about the "rightness" of spending so much time out on the road doing what I am passionate about when a sign for a small side road off the rural route I was transiting. My name!!! This road is named in my honour!!
My name is Kim and my grandchildren call me Kimbo (my wife's choice). And there is was. The affirmation I sought for these hours of pleasurable riding. It must be a sign I was on the right track. It wasn't much of a road. Just a 1/8 mile of potholes copnnecting some farm houses to the main route but it had my name on it. And, the bonus was the beautiful little stream beside it.

Filling/topping off tires
- From: dtinz
-
Description:
Kind of a pain topping off my Kawasaki 1600's tires at the gas station so would rather do it at home night before a good ride. Anyone out there have experiece with compressors? I'm looking at a fairly inexpensive compressor with the following stats:
2 HP, 8 Gallon, 115 PSI Portable Air Compressor
* 115 PSI maximum (back tire recommeded is 36 psi)
* Air delivery: 5 SCFM @ 90 PSI; 6 SCFM @ 40 PSI
Sounds like it would work to me. Opinions? Advice? - Blog post

choking
- From: scruffy
-
Description:HI. This is what it sounds like to me... The small spring that holds the choke butterfly closed has weekened. The choke blade is moving just a bit. In and out with the air flow. This happends with manual chokes that have some age on them.. Just from your discription I would not get to worried about it. After you get the bike started is the exhaust black?

What a morning
- From: copperguy

Description:
It can only get better RIGHT? Woke up to our last at home kid having a 2 hr. delay for school (fog). didnt look that bad, just got out of town Pretty dark at 6am. Well I passed a semi as the fog was getting ever thicker. I'm tooling along behind an SUV. then comes Bambi and Moma. The little deer spun around just as the suv was braking and turning left to avoid. The SUV JUST MISSED its head, then Moma deer thought she could run behind SUV. Problem was I was there. I got it slowed up and could have actually pet her. DID NOT HAVE TIME. That semi was bearing down on me. Tires chirping, I'm trying all I can to get out of the way ( I WAS IN 5TH GEAR) trying for all she's worth I keep dropping gears looking for one that will get me moving. Finally like a rocket I am gone. Fog was so thick he could not have seen me till he was on me. Thank god I was still on the brake when he came up on me.
So then I want to be in front of everyone. I pass the SUV. I keep seeing something in front of me. I cant make it out till I get right up on it. A pick -up with NO tail lights, Fog so thick, I could not see a glow of its head lights in front of it till I was on it. I PASS, then I keep thinking of this poor semi and suv coming up on this truck. I decided at the four way stop I would let them know. TOTAL DARK AND FOG SO THICK I COULD HARDLY MAKE OUT THE GAS STATION ON OTHER CORNER. I hurry and pop it in neutral, throw down the kick stand and hurry back to the truck that just pulled up behind me...... THIS got me to thinking, I'm not a small guy, I'm approaching a truck in the dark in the fog. I'm gonna get shot
I walk up to the truck small blonde female, Sh*t, I asked her to roll down her window, In a VERY scared mousey voice she says, yesssss, I told her that she has NO running lights at all in back, turn signals and brake are working (I could see them while talking to her) Told her she needs SOMEONE to fix it before she gets plowed into, She then sounds better when she thanked me. This is Indiana, more have conceal carry permits than not. All I could think about was this poor scared lady, probably with the barrel of a .357 pointed at the door while I'm talking to her. Thankfully if she was packing I made it to work safely and am now borring everyone else with my morning. Kept me awake on the way in(sometimes that is an issue) - Blog post

Sounds like Alex has a perfect answer for the problem of "street crime" & the "overcrowding" problem in our prisons. Sounds as if Alex should run for "political office"! He'd get my vote.....
