Hey,

Thursday will be nuts. Not sure if the news will be finished on Thursday or Friday. Hang on. It’s been a wild week in the nerve center of motorcycling, Sturgis, SD.



Guys are flying along every highway. Marilyn Stemp held a show maybe two every day. We entered our two Panheads in the Chopper Magazine show at Outlaw square. The action is hot and heavy. The bands at the chip are over the top.



If you want something done to your bike, it’s here. I don’t know where to start. I’m thinking about a Sturgis story. But I better hit the news before it’s never completed.

SEMA ALERT--
As automotive technology continues to evolve, automotive enthusiasts and the marketplace we support must have access to the tools and information necessary to allow for consumer choice to safely modify, service, and preserve motor vehicles. SEMA is committed to protecting your right to these basic freedoms, but we need your help NOW!

The REPAIR Act (Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair), H.R. 6570, is a bipartisan bill in the U.S. House of Representatives that would ensure enthusiasts, specialty businesses, and repair shops have access to the information and tools that are needed to produce and install parts that are used to maintain and upgrade the cars, trucks, and SUVs we love. Without Congressional protection, vehicle data from automobiles and their components may become off-limits.

Don’t wait—tell your member of Congress they need to protect the right to modify and repair vehicles before it’s too late.

Signing the letter only takes a moment. Every letter counts!





Rigor mortis had set in and it was flat on its back with its legs in the air.

When his Dad came home Billy said, "Dad our roosters dead and his legs are sticking in the air. Why are his legs sticking in the air?"

His father thinking quickly said, "Son, that's so God can reach down from the clouds and lift the rooster straight up to heaven."

"Gee Dad that's great," said little Billy.

A few days later, when Dad came home from work, Billy rushed out to meet him yelling, "Dad, Dad we almost lost Mom today!"

"What do you mean?" said Dad.

"Well Dad, I got home from school early today and went up to your bedroom and there was Mom flat on her back with her legs in the air screaming, "Jesus I'm coming, I'm coming" If it hadn't been for Uncle George holding her down we'd have lost her for sure!"







You probably know you can get reproduction English girders form India. They are selling them on eBay. I think that is what is on Billy Lane’s demo open pushrod thing.



I had a M20 BSA in Vegas years ago. Like all the other cool shit I sold it to pay the bills. I was searching for Indian scout girders when I found them. I still have my Triumph. I may hard-tail it this winter and put one of those girders on it. Got the hearse on the market now. I cleaned up the interior.

THE OUTLAW CODE--All I got to say is, if you wanna live the life of a gangster, you’re always waiting for the other shoe to drop.

My lawyer told me, when you’re running down the street with your hair on fire, i.e. living the life of a gangster in public sight saying fuck you to the authorities, don’t be surprised when you’re under investigation and due for an early morning wake Up call by the feds.

This one is huge, like literally huge. The S&S R&D team has been working on this project for the better part of 18 months and done an intensive level of durability testing to develop the perfect combination of materials and piston shape. Can not wait to see the dyno charts that come out of this kit. ~DZ

S&S Cycle - 129” and 132” Big Bore Kits for 2017-2022 HD M8 engines

We love raw unadulterated thumping, makes your heart skip a beat kind of power and that’s the very stuff S&S Cycle specializes in. This obsession with power is further proven out by their latest efforts for the Milwaukee Eight® powered Harley-Davidson® models. Their bolt-in 129/132 Cubic Inch (that’s well over 2000cc for you metric folks) Big Bore Kits are just this side of monstrous.

Taking the stock engine from a mild mannered 107 CI to a fire breathing 129 CI or the 114 CI models to 132 cubic inches of tire melting power. Their latest is a 4.32” bore and is slated for 11:1 compression ratio so it’s happy with pump gas, but will still complement a high lift cam.

Summer sounds like soothing beach waves and the crackle of a campfire are great and all, but we think the roar of a motorcycle engine is the best sound of summer. Sunnier days means more opportunities to ride.

Here’s just one example from Nick’s Picks for the Summer:

THE PEBBLE BEACH AUCTION REPORT—

The Last Crocker Motorcycle Built According to the Crocker Registry

• One of Approximately 70 Examples Ever Built
• Once Owned by Crocker Historian Ernie Skelton
• This Crocker, of the Rare and Legendary Marque Dubbed "The Duesenberg of American Motorcycles", is One of the Finest Vintage Motorcycles to Ever Come to Auction

Joan and I leave in a week for the West Coast. Our 1942 Crocker, #310, the Last Crocker was selected by David Gooding, Gooding & Company for display at The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance this year. It will be on display the week of August 15-20th and will go across the auction block Friday evening, August 19th at the VIP Party.

The vintage motorcycle hobby has been a passion of Joan and I over the past 35 years. Without Joanies love of antiques and encouragement in the beginning, I would have not gotten involved.

The hobby has been good to us all these years and we have met the best people because of it at swap meets, auctions, and a multitude of vintage events nationwide. You have likely been a part of this journey with us. So we felt you may wish to follow online to see if The Last Crocker sets a new worlds record for motorcycles? If not we load it up and take it home to ride and enjoy even more.

Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out, since it is such a beautiful day. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.

"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious"?)

"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.

"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading."

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. I'll have to write you up a ticket."

"For reading a book"? she replies.

"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her again.

"But officer, I'm not fishing, I'm reading."

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to write you up a ticket and you'll have to pay a fine."

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.

"But I haven't even touched you," says the Game Warden.

"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."

"Have a nice day ma'am," and he immediately departed.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads.

Sure, God created man before woman. But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece!!

WORDS FROM ROB CARLO:





UPDATE: California Advances Resolution Celebrating Automobile Cruising’s History and Culture to Senate

Encourage support from your lawmaker on this pro-hobby proposal:

California has introduced a SAN-supported resolution (A.C.R. 176) celebrating the history and culture associated with automobile cruising. This resolution encourages local officials and law enforcement to work with local car clubs to conduct safe cruising events.

Highlighting the automotive community’s positive spirit and cultural contributions, the proposal recognizes the vital roles of legendary cruising strips and car club activities spanning the state.

The resolution passed the House and now awaits consideration before the full Senate. Remind lawmakers of the automotive hobby’s importance to California—as well as American society—by respectfully voicing support for this effort and requesting further action.

Your Lawmaker Must Hear from You Right Away!

Request support for this proposal by using the following SAN website link for an overview and lawmaker contact.

Kuryakyn Expands Lineup of Industry Leading Tracer LED Lighting for Harley-Davidson Motorcycles

Kuryakyn recently expanded its lineup of the top-of-the-line Tracer LED lighting accessories for Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The new products include LED accessories that run from front to back on a customer’s Harley, or from Fairing Lower Accents to an innovative new rear fender light that doesn't require a factory fender tip. There's even a taillight that illuminates with the American flag. The new products are available immediately and are being shown at the Kuryakyn displays at the Sturgis Rally this week.

The Tracer line from Kuryakyn stands out as the most stylish lights on the market. The smooth, consistent and intense light emitted by the units are from the "fully diffused" technology in the product. Fully diffused means that the products show no light dots, no glare, no shadow and provide an even and intense glow. Tracer products have a lower profile than most aftermarket LEDs, which provides a clean look without sacrificing brightness. Most of the products are available with red or smoke polycarbonate lenses and all are fully DOT/1 compliant.



"LED lighting isn't new to the market, but the technology we use in our Tracer line definitely provides the smoothest and most intense light available," said Kuryakyn Brand Manager Tyler Anderson. "Kuryakyn's been creating customizing products since we started, these lights are a great combination of both style and function."



The newest additions to the Tracer lineup are Tracer LED Fairing Lower Grills, LED Taillights, front and rear Turn Signal Conversions, LED Inserts for Saddlebag Supports, Saddlebag Lights, Tour Pak Side Lights, Windshield Trim Lights, Rear Fender Tip Light, Filler Panel for the space between the saddlebag and rear fender and the Freedom Flag Taillight. (A list of products is included below with MSRP pricing.)
