My First Bikeâ&#x20AC;Ś I started riding when I was young. Through my youth, I went through many bikes. I was 9 when I got my first bike. It was a Honda 50 cc. I rode that bike until I was 12. For my 12th birthday, my parents bought me a new Yamaha 80. I was about 15 when I outgrew it and had to sell it. I then bought a Honda 175 and had it for a few years. Years went by and I finally got my motorcycle license in 2011. Once I was street legal I bought a 2003 Honda VTX 1800 cc. I love this bike. Me and my wife Debby spend every possible moment riding wherever the road takes us. - Rick

Motorcycle Laws Summer 2017 Lane Splitting There is a vast amount of misinformation on the internet and through social media about lane splitting. Remember this famous quote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not everything you read on the internet is trueâ&#x20AC;?- Abraham Lincoln. There have been studies done by the American Motorcycle Association that prove lane splitting could be beneficial. Of 6000 motorcycle accidents, 997 were a result of a lane splitting situation. Of those 997 accidents, most motorcyclists were rear-ended while stopped in their lanes. The full report can be found on our website lncbiker.com/news/ Is lane splitting legal in your state? Indiana: Illegal (IC 9-21- 10-6) Illinois: Illegal (IVC 11-703) Kentucky: Not-Authorized PAGE 18

GRILLING SEASON

Grilling season is upon us! I know many of you will spend summer nights in front of a grill with a cold beer in hand. Instead of a recipe, lets talk about grilling. A fan favorite of course is steak! Let’s discuss some simple tips that will turn each of us into the neighborhood “Grill Master”. 1. Don’t salt steaks until moments before they hit the grill. Once salted, the steaks will begin to release moisture. No one enjoys a dry steak. Next time you fire up the grill, season the steaks immediately before putting them on. 2. Don’t allow the meat to rise to room temperature. First and foremost, this does not apply to well-done steaks. Let’s be honest, no one likes a well-done steak anyway. This tip applies to any steak that will be cooked from rare to medium well. The goal is to get a beautiful caramel color outside without cooking thoroughly on the inside. To best achieve this, it’s imperative to go to the grill directly from the fridge. 3. Don’t be cheap. No “Grill Master” skimps out by buying the cheapest steaks he can find. You need the good premium cuts with light marbling. These are the cuts that will get you the top status of “Grill Master” Happy Grilling! PAGE 20

QUICK CHECKS FOR A STALLED BIKE. Sometimes when you are riding, your motorcycle stalls. If this happens, here are some things to quickly check. First and foremost, push it over to the side and out of traffic. We don’t want any harm to come to the bike…or you.

Again, I’ve had these calls and a lot of the time, the gas was off. Sometimes, they tank was on empty. Yep, that’s why your bike died. 3. Lastly, check the fuses if the bike has no power, lights or doesn’t even turn over. Sometimes, it’s a bad fuse. If all the fuses look good, then more than likely the battery is dead.

1. Look at the kill switch to make sure you haven’t accidentally hit it. I know this sounds crazy but I get calls all the time and that sometime ends up being all it was. If you’ve done all of these simple Heck, I’ve even accidentally hit check and the bike still won’t mine. start….call someone and have 2. Check the gas tank. If your them bring a trailer. bike has a petcock, make sure Mechanic Mike it is on or on reserve. You won’t have this option on a fuel injected motorcycle. PAGE 22 1.6.022.MechanicMike.indd 20

FEATURED BIKE SUMMER 2017 The Rewaco Trike

On one of my spring excursions, I happened to come across a very unique trike. I was able to examine and see the machine in action. Let me tell you, it is nothing like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen before. I picture this trike to appeal to those that have never learned to ride, the aged biker who ďŹ nds it harder to stay on two wheels, or those seeking a more comfortable touring option. The Rewaco may receive some pushback from traditionalists but the German engineered trike may be a game changer in the industry.

SPECIFICATIONS: RF1 LT-2 Turbo (Automatic / 140 hp) Engine: 1.5 ltr water-cooled 4-cylinder in-line-engine Power: 103 kW (140 hp) Transmission: 7-gear automatic
