Quick Release Tip of the Week
- From: manybikes
-
Description:
Kyle Bradshaw meets with National Cycle's Paul Gomez this week to learn about their cutting-edge quick-release technology, their superior wind deflection products (windshields), new products coming to market, and much more!
You will get a better understanding of how the technology works and an even better understanding of the superior quality and dedication to the customer that National Cycle brings to the motorcycle industry.
Switchblade Quick Release Windshields: Cruiser Riders now can enjoy unprecedented convenience, quality and function through an innovative line of quick change windshields. The SwitchBlade System is hilighted by National Cycle's Quickset IV mounting hardware. Featuring National Cycle's exclusive Cushion Wheels, the attractive, buffed stainless steel mounts allow the rider the ability to install or remove a windshield easily, in less than 10 seconds - with NO TOOLS.
Windshield Mounting Kits: Strong, sleek, elegant and functional! QuickSet4 secures your SwitchBlade windshield with bulldog tenacity, but is attractive and refined when the shield is off. Our innovative Cushion Wheel spools turn and flex, allowing the shield to lock into place with a reassuring "pop". Want to remove or change the shield? A gentle tug is all that is needed.Windshield Lowers Chrome Lowers extend the protection of your SwitchBlade windshield and, with a National Cycle Light Bar, form an integrated front end look. We engineer our Chrome Lowers with these other components to ensure proper fit and appearance. Designed specifically to fit with our innovative QuickSet4 SwitchBlade windshield mounts. A QuickSet4 Mount Kit is required to fit these particular Chrome Lowers.Vstream Windshields: National Cycle revolutionizes windscreen performance with the new VStream®! The advanced 'V' shape and dimensional contours push the wind vortex out and away from the riders' helmet, resulting in a peaceful, quiet environment. Greatly reduced wind noise... much less turbulence... The VStream revolution is here!Backrest Mounting Hardware: Integrated Mounting System to be used in conjunction with the P9800 Back Rest and/or P9900 Luggage Rack. Quick Release and Lockable.

A Short Run in the Park
- From: kimmer127
-
Description:
We are renovating the house at the moment. It is something we seem to do so frequently that one reno job seems to blend into another. The painters just finished painting the interior about a week ago and now the contractor is setting up to add a bathroom in the basement. I don’t have a very good idle speed so waiting for people to turn up (the gas company, the builder) makes me edgy. I make Maureen edgy when I am edgy so she suggested I go for a shot run to kill time (an t get me out of her hair).
It’s a nice sunny clear fall day here so it was not hard to get talked into firing up the Road Glide and hitting the road. The Niagara River Parkway is almost empty this time of year and it sweeping curves are enticing me to crack the throttle and dance the Glide through the 10 km of great ride.
The stock sound system and speakers are no match for my helmet ear flaps and the Rineharts. Maybe one of the Cruiser Customizing friends can point me to a good sounding upgrade. Christmas is coming!
The Falls area is bathed in yellow afternoon sun as I cut away from the parkway. I just axed the Glide and don’t want the mist from the Falls to ruin the wax job. Back near Marineland is a small oasis above the Falls called Dufferin Islands. I stop and park the Road Glide pulling my Nikon D90 out of the saddlebag. The sun and shadows are fantastic. I take several shots then an obliging person sitting in their car having a late lunch enjoy the peace and beauty, offered to take a picture of me with the Harley. I couldn’t resist.
A few more shots and it is past the time to meet the builder. I fire up the Glide and take the back roads out to the main highway and get on the throttle as traffic is moving about 70 mph. The sun is just glorious and I feel great. It is just a short respite from the world of home renos but I will take every minute I get to ride and to shoot photos on such a wonderful fall day.

WORKING BEE
- From: kwaka1500
-
Description:
HI TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FANS. I HAVE BEEN HEAD DOWN AND ASS UP WORKING ON THE NEW PROJECT TO IT GET RIDE READY FOR THE LAST WEEK, 12 TO 14 HOURS A DAY. I'M REALLY SORRY FOR NOT KEEPING YOU IN THE LOOP, BUT SOMETIMES ONE NEEDS TO GO LIKE HELL, IGNORING FOOD, BOURBON, MATES AND WIVES TO GET TO GET THINGS DONE !
SO HERE IS THE FIRST OF A NUMBER OF ENTRIES. SADLY, THIS IS NOT THE REBUILD, NO TIME, AND NO NEW PARTS YET. THIS IS A RESCUE MISSION ONLY.
FIRST DAY : PARK THE WIFES 4 X 4 OUTSIDE, AND DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES LATER. PUT THE BIKE ON THE STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GARAGE. WALK AROUND IT AT LEAST 11 TIMES TO DECIDE WHERE TO START. THIS MACHINE WAS TRULY IN NEED OF A FRIEND. PLACE THE TOOLS IN AN EASY TO GET AT AREA, UNCLUTTERED. REMOVE BITS FROM THE TOP DOWN AND INSPECT FOR JUST HOW MUCH FIRST AID IS REQUIRED AND ORDER OF IMPORTANCE.
DAY 2 : ALL THE TINS OFF, SCREEN AND OTHER APPENDAGES AS WELL. THE WHEELS REALLY NEED TO COME OFF, THEY'RE TO HARD TO WORK ON THE MACHINE. WHEELS OFF. MY UNCLUTTERED AREA NOW LOOKS LIKE A WAR ZONE WITH A SKELETON IN THE MIDDLE. SOME PARTS AREN'T TO GOOD, ESPECIALLY THE HEADLIGHT. RUST BUBBLES UNDER THE CHROME ALL OVER THE TOP. IN FACT THER IS NO CHROME ANYWHERE ON THE BIKE THAT ISN'T PITTED OR RUSTED TO SOME DEGREE. AND THE PAINT ALL OVER IS THE SAME.
SH*T, NOW MAYBE I'VE OPENED A PANDORAS' BOX. I JUST KNOW THAT TO GET THIS DONE IN A WEEK I HAVE MY WORK CUT OUT FOR ME. I'LL DO THE WHEELS FIRST. MAYBE FROM THE PIC YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDUP OF CRAP STILL REMAINING IN THE CENTER.

AirHawk Tip of the Week from C
- From: manybikes
-
Description:
Kyle Bradshaw meets with Greg Beck of Tucker Rocky to discuss AirHawk Seat Cushions by the ROHO Company.
AirHawk seat cushions have been providing comfort to the world for over 33 years after getting their start in the medical world. Their products have been lifesavers for those bedridden and wheelchair bound by providing a product which eliminates hot spots and bed sores.
In 2004 ROHO decided to bring these products into the motorcycle world by offering motorcycle specific cushions they named AirHawk.
The AirHawk is an air cushion featuring shape fitting technology which is in essence a system of soft flexible air cells interconnected by small channels that allows air to flow from one cell to another at a controlled rate. This is what sets the ROHO AirHawk apart from the rest of the gel or memory foam seat pads on the market. The AirHawk has the ability to protect the body from multiple forces such as fatigue, pressure, friction, sock, vibration, and much more...
For the Ultimate Air Ride, give the AirHawk a spin and you'll have a grin!
Thank you for watching this weeks Cruiser Customizing Tip of the Week!
A special shout out to Englissh - our newest member of the Cruiser of the Week Club!
Until Next Week,
Take Care & Ride Safe

Bye-Bye Hurricane!
- From: CromagnaMan
-
Description:
Because of the minor Hurricane coming our way, for the last week or so it has been grey and rainy here in the "Big Bend" area of Florida. For the first time in days the weather this morning is bright and beautiful with nice warm sun, and since I have the day off I'm going to jump on one of my bikes and take a nice short ride! This is the kind of day that’s made for the best rides, for I have no particular place to go and no particular time to get there and best of all, my pain meds have kicked in this morning and I’m not in my normal achy agony!
I truly miss the days when I could jump on my bike and ride for hours and hours and the only thing I needed to worry about was a sore “Monkey Butt” … but with age, comes the endless hassles of age. Aching back, stiff legs, screaming hips, cramping in my lower back and all of the other assorted ills and woes are a part of my every-day life now. It’s almost worth dying young and not having to deal with all of various complaints. Dye young and leave a beautiful body … that’s the ticket!
Well, this blog post isn’t supposed to be about my aching back and screaming hips or even about feeling like I’m going to puke because of all the pain meds I’ve had to take this morning. This post is about “expectations”.
I didn’t expect to eventually have to pay the price for my life-style up to this point, and now because of that life style being in constant pain. I don’t expect to go out for a nice little ride and have an accident on my bike and be hurt. I don’t expect to be riding today and have a rain-cloud come up from nowhere and ruin my ride. I don’t expect whatever bike I take will break down somewhere and leave me stranded and fuming on the side of a road. I don’t expect to be calmly making a turn in some parking lot and have the bike slip out from under me dropping my arse onto the concrete in embarrassment.
“Expectations.” We as humans in general … and as bikers specifically … go through our lives with more or less good expectations. I know I do, and I’m sure of all you do as well. I don’t worry and “expect” that bad or horrible things will happen every time I go out in the world. Like you, I “expect” I will be just fine … and have a wonderful and enjoyable day. After all … I expect to! And in the end … isn’t that what being a “biker” is all about for most of us? Not hiding away in some dark corner being afraid of life and the consequences it can bring … but rather a huge celebration because of that life!
We as bikers seize every moment and live it to the fullest … and despite the sometimes disapproval of society and all the “non-bikers” that cannot or will not understand … we rejoice in our life! It’s expected!
Ride on and be safe … and please … take the long way home on your ride!

The PLAN a speech given by ROB
- From: australian6
-
Description:
This email was sent to me by Samantha, I thought it worthy of a post here!
Robin Williams YA, HAVE TO LOVE HIM....!
HE MADE THIS SPEECH IN NEW YORK ..
You gotta love Robin Williams......Even if he's nuts! Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan. What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.
Robin Williams' plan...(Hard to argue with this logic!)
'I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan.'
1) 'The US will apologize to the world for our 'interference' in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those 'good 'ole' boys', we will never 'interfere' again.
2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany , South Korea , the Middle East , and the Philippines . They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.
3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.
4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.
5) No foreign 'students' over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a 'D' and it's back home baby.
6) The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while
7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not 'interfere.' They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.
9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.
10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us 'Ugly Americans' any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH..learn it...or LEAVE...Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?
'The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?' '
If you agree with the above forward it to friends...If not, and I would be amazed, DELETE it!! - Blog post

Intimacy...
- From: manybikes
-
Description:
With who do you share what?
This week I came across this quote which made me think...
It takes more love to share the saddle than it does to share the bed. ~Author Unknown
This quote has caused me to think...
Who do I share the saddle with?
Who do I share the bed with?
Are they different?
In my case, I share on the seat much more than I share in the bed... but maybe that's because I have more bikes (seats) than beds? This is a very interesting question however...
What do you think? I'm Dying to Know!

Yes, my cast was formed around the ISO grip and my hand rests nicely on shopping cart handles and motorcycle handlebars, but this current set-up does not lend for front break usage at all! With the front break being 70% of our stopping power... I have been staying off the bikes...
Community Members... Please! Please share with me and exciting recent ride you have taken!!!
I will envision I am there as I read your stories!
Thank you for your support!

Packed Up
- From: CromagnaMan
-
Description:
This is a photo of my Magna all packed up going to Daytona's Bike Week in the spring of 2008. This is prior to most of the modification to the Magna and the new paint job. The "luggage" consists of Willie Max saddle bags, a Willie Max "Travel Trunk" on the passenger seat with a "Sissy Bar Bag" attached to each side of the Travel Trunk, and a large roll bag strapped to the luggage rack behind the back rest. I actually travel to the bike rallies instead of using a trailer to haul my bike over. It's cheating if you don't ride your bike to the rallies!
