A couple of weeks ago, an old friend of mine contacted me and asked me if I had parts available in flat black and, without hesitation, my inner salesman kicked in and I proceeded to give him the available product inventory. We chatted for a while and I quickly learned that he was upgrading a Harley for his nephew who was currently serving his third tour in Afghanistan after two successful tours in Iraq. When I say successful, I guess that means still alive and well.

I told him I had to leave town and would get him some stuff at my cost before Sturgis and didnt give it much more thought because I was so self absorbed in preparing for all the activities I have scheduled in Sturgis. Things changed dramaticlly for these young men when on July 12th, Lance Cpl. Robert S. Greninger of Greenfield Minnesota was killed conducting combat operations in Afghanistan. Cpl. Greninger served along side my friend’s nephew SSgt. Chris Shranko and saved the lives of many of his fellow soldiers with his actions which is what cost him his life.

When I was informed of this, I began to think about all the young men and women who pay the ultimate price for us to enjoy all the freedoms we take for granted in this country. The freedom to take a summer vacation, the freedom to fly on an airplane, the freedom to attend a motorcycle event and, I know its cliche’ but... Freedom is not free, it cost this young man who was just begining his life his future. You may not personally know anyone who is serving but everyone over there is someone’s son or daughter, mother or father... So the next time you see someone in uniform, remember the reason you were able to go to the movies last night was because they paid the ultimate price to keep us free. You may not agree with the politics or the administration that is in office, but these young men and women don’t have time to concern themselves with that as they are too busy sacrificing their lives so you can enjoy yours.

Obviously I felt the need to do something more so I will be donating all the parts for the bike, as well as sending a care package of SCC swag to Afghanastan for the entire unit which seems so inconsequential when compared to the donations of the men and women who serve in every branch of the military.

I am not going to do my usual shameless self promotion at the end of this month’s article, suffice to say it just doesn’t seem appropriate.

AHDRA NORTHEAST NITRO NATIONALS June 25th-26th, 2011 . Atco Raceway, Atco, NJ

Story, Ridin’ and Pics by Lutz

One of my friends has a saying... “Fast women and fast Harleys.” Today we’ll take a rain check on the fast women (well maybe) and take a ride down to Atco Raceway and check out some some really f@#%in’ fast Harleys! As if the ride down wasn’t great enough, just thinkin’ about checkin’ out some 220+ mph/mid 6 second Harleys racing that will make your pulse that much quicker.

Presented by Brians Harley-Davidson, the ADHRA Northeast Nitro Nationals rolled into Atco Raceway and brought alot of “rumble” with it. Big name and local racers, top fuel and nitromethane all combined to WOW the spectators. The weather couldn’t have been better as the smell of smoking tires and nitro fuel filled the dragstrip air.

There were also some other smells that were great, too.

If you went down to the food court you could check out the food vendors, bbq, burgers, chicken fingers, fries...

Good stuff!

As mentioned, the weather was great but if you wanted to get your drink on, the track has an air conditioned bar called ”The Winners Circle” and, not to worry, they have the races televised on a few jumbo TV’s! How cool is that!?! My favorite part about this event, outside of the racing, is walking the trailers in the pits and meeting the people that race these monsters. Gotta give ‘em credit racing a bike at the speed some of them go! If something goes wrong, there’s not alot around you for protection!

If you feel the need for speed... This is the place to check out. So here’s to all them fast Harleys! Oh, and even them fast women, too!!

1-888-CYCLE-LAW . LeeGaber@cycleattorney.com Even though it has been many years since the helmet law in PA has been repealed, this issue isn’t going away any time soon. The current law allows a licensed operator who is over 21 and has 2 years of riding experience and/or has completed the motorcycle safety course, to ride without a helmet.

The law is once again under attack in PA, as several congressmen are in the process of preparing a bill to rescind the law. Truthfully, I am not familiar enough with the current crop of legislators to know whether this bill will pass, but given the conservative nature of the legislature, I would not be surprised if PA will once again require all motorcyclists to wear a helmet. For more information on this I suggest you contact your local A.B.A.T.E. Chapter.

Adding fuel to the fire, I just read an article about a rider, who while participating in a helmet law protest ride in New York, was killed when he was involved in a one-motorcycle accident. Apparently he died from a fractured skull and according to the emergency room physicians, had he been wearing a helmet, he would have survived. Given the irony of this situation, I am sure that all of the states trying to re-enact helmet laws will get a lot of mileage out of this sad turn of events.

I mention this because as the weather turns warmer, many riders wear nothing more than a tank or tshirt and some even where shorts and sneakers.

However tempting this may be, at a bare minimum, no matter the weather, everyone should have on boots, jeans and at least a long-sleeve t-shirt and some type of gloves. There are also many lightweight mesh jackets that can be worn with minimal discomfort. This clothing, while perhaps slightly uncomfortable, will protect you from a great deal of pain if you are ever involved in an accident.

So while the helmet issue may grab the headlines, I would suggest that whether you chose to wear a helmet or not, at a minimum you should wear as much protective gear as possible. Although I have been fortunate not to have personally experienced road rash, I have experienced first hand the horror these burn-type injuries can cause if you are ever forced to slide across the roadway for any distance.

On another note, although most of the conversations about injuries involve helmets, most of my clients do not suffer head injuries, but more commonly suffer from broken bones in addition to “road rash”.

Although road rash is not life threatening, it is often described as the most painful type of injury suffered. Anyone who has ever had to endure the pain involved in the debridement process (scrubbing of the wound with a wire-like brush to clean out gravel, dirt etc.) and dressing and redressing of the wounds often say it is the most

FA S T L A N E B I K E R

painful situation they have been through. I recently witnessed this first-hand as I was with a client who was having her bandages peeled off in order have her wounds cleaned and re-dressed. The pain she experienced during this procedure must have excruciating based upon her sobbing and cries of distress as this was taking place.

I hope you find this information informative and if you would like additional information on this topic, or any other, I can always be reached at LeeGaber@cycleattorney.com or 1-888-CYCLELAW (1-888-292-5352).

DELAWARE STATE POLICE BIKE RE-DONE...

Owner: Rich Moeman, Smyrna, DE Before purchasing his bike Rich Moeman’s 2005 Electra Glide standard police model was in service as a Delaware State Police bike. It took Rich approximately 6 1/2 months to build and, like most good builds, he finished it at 2 a.m. on the very morning he was scheduled to leave for Myrtle Beach. That trip ended up being its test ride.

Rich, assisted by his friend, Brent Billings, built the bike in his home garage. Paint was provided by Randy Connell and the color is Candy Tangerine with a Root Beer flames. The motor is a stock twin cam 88 and the wheels are the stock rims that were sent out for chrome. The police saddle bags were switched out for stock bags and all the chrome accessories (the handle bars, crash bars, console, fork legs, bells, etc.) were sent out for a gloss black powder coat applied by Powder Barons in Middletown, DE. The orange glass work on the derby cover, timer cover, reflectors on bags, highlights on calipers, and the console was done by Iron Glass Design on the

west coast in the state of Washington and he also manufactured a glass surround for the radio which was a first for him and is unique to Rich’s bike. The floor boards are moved 1 inch out and 1 inch up with Covington mounts and are dressed in the Harley flame collection along with the footpegs and grips.

The radio is a JVC radio with a 250 watt amp and 6 1/2” speakers and a mounted Sirius radio.

All of the gauges were replaced with Screamgauges ing Eagle gauges and the oil pressure and oil temp were added to fill out the dashboard. Rich purposely left the siren and light switches on the controls so people could tell that it is a police model.

A good tuning objective is to shoot for a mixture range between 12.5:1 able to rotate. Note the position of the lines on the plate. With the engine running and up to temperature, set the idle speed to about 1300-1500 RPM and note the position to 13.2:1 over the ENTIRE RPM bandwidth. This will result in a basically flat fuel of the front cylinder timing advance mark. It should be centered in the inspection curve, with maximum power available at all points. This can be a very difficult goal hole. If not, slightly move the breaker plate one way to see if the mark comes into to achieve, as the limitations of many carburetor designs don’t allow for sufficient position or moves further away.

BURLINGTON BIKE NIGHT 2011 June 4th, 2011 . Burlington, NJ . Story, Ridin’ and Pics by Lutz

Damn, how time flys! Seems like yesterday I broke out my walkin’ boots and took a ride down to Burlington City for the Annual “Burlington Bike Night.” Even with the threat of rain ridin’ in, with all that happens at this event its definitly worth the ride.

Tons of other bikers proved that as the streets and parking lots were loaded, you could just entertain yourself lookin’ at bikes!!

This year was the 7th Annual for Burlington City and the Chamber of Commerce once again hosted this event but there was one noticable thing missing... Mills Harley-Davidson. As all good things come to pass, Mills is now closed but, not to worry, Brians Harley-Davidson picked up where Mills left off.

Setup by the river (justifiably named “Thunder on the River”) and right through the middle of town, bike night offers lots of things to do. There’s a bike show, live music, vendors and lots more.Check out some of the local merchants in town for some food or drink, with the amount of people there, you’re sure to run into someone you know. All that being said, come out and check it out for yourself next year.
