Garage Party Event Black Hills Harley-Davidson is hosting a free Garage Party event to introduce women to the experience of the open road, the challenges it brings and the courage to over come them. Laura Klock will be with us presenting her “Any Road” motivational seminar. Laura has set numerous land speed records on the Bonneville Salt Flats with her Klock Werks Kustom Bagger!
What: Garage Party— Ladies Only When: Tuesday May 19th, 2009 Where: Black Hills Harley-Davidson 2820 Harley Drive, I-90 Exit 55 Contact: RSVP by May 14th, 2009 shawna@blackhillshd.com Space is limited!
Connect. Inspire. Challenge. ANY ROAD. Laura Klock is a lady that loves a challenge, loves to ride, and has a gift for inspiring others. She grew up in the country in Wisconsin where riding and wrenching on anything motorized was the pastime, so it seems only natural that we find her where she is today. True to her love of the sport, she is currently Vice President of Klock Werks Kustom Cycles in Mitchell, South Dakota, and holds AMA and SCTA National Land Speed Records from the Bonneville Salt Flats. Laura has worked for several years alongside long time friend and one of the premiere builders in the industry, Brian Klock. In the last few years, they have taken their business and friendship to the next level, partnering officially as President and Vice President of the company, and husband and wife. Brian and Laura held their wedding ceremony on the Bonneville Salt Flats in 2007! Their partnership has resulted in completing 248 new part numbers (so far!).

P A R T S New Team Member Well, we certainly had more than our usual quota of blizzards this spring! Finally, some decent riding weather should put us all in a better mood. Hope you all had a wonderful time at our Spring Open House—it’s always a great event to help kick off the season. We’ve got two events coming up this month that should help further the cause: On Tuesday the 5th, we’ll have another of our popular men’s nights, with lots of fun things to do for just the men only; and on Tuesday the 19th, we’ll open the doors for ladies only, another of our garage parties that are geared to showing the women riders various tips and tricks about their rides, and the lifestyle in general. So, please plan on showing up for your respective party night, hang with friends, meet new ones, and basically just use the opportunity to have a good time! Words of fuzzy wisdom: If at first you don’t succeed, then (and only then) read the instructions.
Black Hills Harley- Davidson would like to welcome Jim Rosales to our already remarkable Parts and Accessories Team. Jim will be taking over for “Murph” as Parts Manager.

New Products in the Service Department 1999 – 2006 Twin Cam Engine Upgrade Available Harley-Davidson has become more reliable than ever and, believe it or not, most mechanics like it when our customers are enjoying thousands of trouble free miles. The twin cam engine has been superior to the evolution engine in many ways, but has left one doubt in our minds— cam chain tensioners. These spring loaded tensioners have lasted well in many bikes while failing too soon in others. In 2006, Harley introduced a new design in the dyna model engines. This change proved itself worthy and was installed into all big twin model engines in 2007. The upgrade was a hydraulic cam chain tensioner, and it’s now available for installation into earlier model twin cams (’99 – ’06). This upgrade allows us to continue using Harley-Davidson cams, a redesigned cam support plate as well as a late model oil pump, which improves engine oil flow. We recommend inspecting cam chain tensioners at 25,000 miles, and feel this kit is a great improvement when installing a stage 2 big bore kit.
Screamin’ Eagle® Hydraulic Cam Tensioner Plate Upgrade Kit This kit updates the cam chain tensioner of your early-model twin cam engine to the latest design, as featured on the Twin Cam 96 engine. The billet cam support plate has been designed to allow the installation of the late-model hydraulic cam chain tensionser to early twin cam-equipped models. These hydraulic cam chain tensioners will significantly outlast the spring loaded tensioners, and are an ideal addition to an engine modified for improved performance. In addition, ’02-’06 models feature the late-model, single-row front cam chain and sprockets (’99 – ’01 models use the existing front silent chain). The kit includes the improved late-model oil pump that increases flow by 8% and scavenging by 22% to enhance other performance upgrades.
Chris Myers Harley-Davidson Master Technician
Fits ’99 – ’05 Dyna® models, ’99 – ’06 Touring models and ’00 – ’06 Softail® models. Installation requires separate purchase of Spacer Kit P/N 25285-08.

Sturgis Rumbles Hi everyone! Sturgis HarleyDavidson has made it through the winter and spring snowfall. We have had 92.2 inches of snow in our parking lot. We would like to thank the snow removal crew for their hard and almost routine work. Hat’s off! The 2009 summer MotorClothes® line is here (see page 4)! The men’s line is bold with traditional graphics and a relaxed and laid-back feel. The ladies line has bright, clean colors with expressive graphics. The ladies line also carries an unexpected zebra print that
reminds us we should never take life too seriously. There is a lot in this summer line so stop in and check it out. May is Motorcycle Awareness Month and this is a good way to let motorists know that motorcycles are going to be back on the roads. There will be an awareness ride with the Black Hills Abate Chapter on May 18. The ride will leave Black Hills Harley-Davidson at 10 a.m. The cost is two cans of food or a cash donation. Have a great ride and be safe. Did you know in 1910 the famed “Bar & Shield” logo was used for the
|
first time? It was trademarked and patented one year later. What a great American iconic logo. Mother’s Day is May 10. We have great gift ideas for her. We have silk scarves, leather gloves as well as gift cards so she can pick out just what she wants. We will be closed on Memorial Day, which is on May 25. Our store hours in May at Sturgis Harley-Davidson will be Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. – 6 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. We hope to see you soon. The coffee is on!

H.O.G.
N E W S
P.O.T. and H.O.G. Get your mind out of the ’60s; it stands for Primary Officer Training for chapter officers. What were you thinking? Clay, Loren, Alex, Neal and I recently returned from P.O.T. and came away believing our chapter is in great shape, and it is. For me, this was the best session I’ve attended and would like to share the three Rs with you, the theme through which this year’s session was presented. The first “R” stands for Ride. How appropriate since H.O.G. is grounded on riding and having fun. When you think about it the vast majority of our chapter activities involve riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles. We ride for fun, the thrill of the power, the breeze in our faces, the scents in the air, the freedom of the open road. Our challenge is to remember that riding is why we all come together. Yes, we eat at restaurants, we throw great holiday parties and organize premier bike shows but even when things don’t turn out as planned, it doesn’t matter because the ride is why we do all the other stuff. So when plans fail or things don’t meet our expectations, “screw it, let’s ride!” Relevance is the second “R.” Interesting word, I’d say. We could go many ways with that one but it struck me as the challenge to keep our chapter fresh, interesting and inclusive. Look around—our chapter reflects the stereotypical H-D rider. Middle age mean anything to anyone? If we are to remain fresh, we need to find ways to appeal, not just to ourselves, but to all riders, young, seasoned, new and veteran riders, and riders of both genders. More on this later as we strive to maintain what has worked so well and develop ways to include and encourage all riders. In short, finding ways to be relevant to all H.O.G.ers. The final “R,” Renewal. Yes, our chapter needs membership renewals in order to support it financially, but that’s not the point. To me, it’s about the renewal of the riding spirit and the camaraderie of those who share a common passion. Somewhere deep down riding moves us to throw a leg over, roll on the throt-
tle, make the turn onto the open road, willingly engage in conversations with total strangers and understand the unrestrained freedom that riding allows us to experience. Every time we ignite the v-twin, renewal is the result. Let’s not forget why we ride. It clears the mind and refreshes the spirit! Generally I’m a “go with the flow” kind of guy, but I have to tell ya I’ve about had it with winter—and bike show weekend was the topper. Despite all the hard work by Chairman Loren and his dedicated team of volunteers who put together one of the best shows yet, Mother Nature had different plans. Despite the entry of bikes we’ve never seen before, the increasing quality of displays and the presence of the Children’s Miracle Network, attendance was hampered by a foot or more of snow that started to fall Friday afternoon and continued throughout Saturday. We saw an increase in attendance on Sunday with the storm letting up a bit and we were able to recognize some dedicated entrants for all the time and effort they put into preparing their bikes for dis– H.O.G. Director play. Congratulations and thanks to everyone who contributed to the 21st annual bike show. So what’s happening around the chapter? May is Women Rider’s month so let’s support and encourage the ladies in our chapter to get out and ride! Be watching for additional information on Neck Yoke Road clean-up day coming to us on May 9. And as you may be aware, our Thursday Night Rides begin in May, which is likely what we have all been looking forward to. Road Captain Nick and his team of Ride Leaders have put together some great rides and a few surprises, so make sure to catch as many as you can. Finally, the riding season is here! Let’s get out and ride and have some fun. We’ll see you on the road, and remember … keep the shiny side up!
