By Miller LanghorneSo will future Harley-Davidson
merchandise displays include leather-braided extension cords The DQQRXQFHPHQW७ DERXW७ WKH७ ȴUVW७ HYHU७electric Harley-Davidson motorcycle seemed to catch a lot of people by surprise when the word came down from their Milwaukee headquarters on June 19th They call it Project Livewire and HYHQ७WKRXJK७WKHUHఖV७D७ȵHHW७RI७GHPR७ELNHV७touring around the country you wonrsquot ȴQG७WKH७ELNHV७RQ७WKH७GHDOHUఖV७VKRZURRP७ȵRRUV७ZKHQ७WKH७௹७PRGHOV७VWDUW७UROOLQJ७in soon In a video that was released prior to the big announcement on a website for Harley-Davidson Investor Relations company CFO John Olin explained that ldquoItrsquos important to note that this motorcycle is not available for purchase For now our goal with Project Livewire is to gather feedback on the motorcycle and market potentialrdquo
Irsquove got to give Harley some credit for taking a measured approach to entering the electric vehicle market Itrsquos still a relatively young industry with many yet to be answered questions about how HOHFWULF७YHKLFOHV७ZLOO७ȴW७LQWR७WKH७PL[७+RZ७much range can you get out of a single charge How long do I have to wait to get a full recharge Where can I get a recharge when Irsquom away from home How safe are the batteries Also how long will they last and how much will it cost to replace them And of course how
do I attach some loud pipes to one of these things
The Project Livewire bike itself seems to me the proper mix of Harley tradition and modern styling The Motor Company hasnrsquot released a whole lot of info on specs and such but I can tell you a few things that are already known Itrsquos got an aggressive sport-bike look to it with a cast aluminum frame weighing just 14 pounds and holding a longitudinally mounted three-phase AC motor The engine is rated at 74 horsepower with 52 pound-feet of torque and is oil cooled Harley says the bike will accelerate from a stop to 60mph in less than 4 seconds and hit a top speed just over 90mph There are no gears to shift and two ride modes to choose from Range or Power depending on whether yoursquore looking to go a little farther or a little faster I suppose Charging time for the lithium-ion battery is estimated to be about 3 frac12 hours Riding range is estimated to be about 50 miles or so which will need to be greatly improved for the bike to be practical for everyday use An LED headlight shows the way and the rubber meets the road with a 12070-18 front tire and a 18055-17 holding up the rear The aluminum wheels have hollow spokes in another effort to reduce weight On top of the handlebars replacing the traditional tach and speedo is a rectangular computer console The rumble of potato potato
potato has been replaced with a high-pitched whirring sound that many have FRPSDUHG७WR७D७ MHW७ȴJKWHU७SODQH७ I७RXఖG७care to give it a listen go to the website at wwwprojectlivewirecom The website has additional information about the bike and the tour thatrsquos underway
The specs above apply to the SURWRWSH७ELNHV७DQG७ZLOO७FHUWDLQO७EH७ȴQHtuned should it reach production stage Company execs have described the bike as a work in progress and an opportunity to see what their customers want in an electric motorcycle To meet that end theyrsquove put together a promotional tour called Project Livewire which will take the bikes down historic Route 66 and then across the USA to more than 30 dealerships in 2014 The tour will be expanded to Canada and Europe in 2015 Florida riders take note the tour is scheduled to be here in December with stops in Miami (124) Tampa (1211) and Jacksonville (1218) Irsquom predicting long lines at every stop along the tour as this will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to ride a companyrsquos prototype machine Even non-riders will have a chance to get the feel of riding through a simulated riding experience called Jumpstart HPR७ ఖP७ VXUH७ WKH७ ȴJXUH७ LI७ RX७ WU७ LW७you might want to buy it Long term plans for producing and marketing the bike will give them

Are You Ready to Ride That Mountain Road
By Bernie StevensAlthough we have plenty of roads in
Florida that twist and turn we donrsquot have mountain roads Thatrsquos why many readers of Go For A Ride have bucket lists that include traveling to Maine Colorado North Carolina Georgia and other mountainous states to ride roads with switchbacks and more curves than me
While riding mountain roads with tight switchbacks and ldquoSrdquo turns can be great fun on a motorcycle according to the Motorcycle Safety Foundationreg (MSF) the number one cause of motorcycle accidents is running off the road while cornering Although one rides cautiously and within the speed limit unexpected road hazards like sand oil slicks gravel and wet roads are common in the mountains Ice can be a problem at higher elevations even in the spring and summer
Before you take on any road but VSHFLȴFDOO७ D७ WZLVW७ PRXQWDLQ७ URDG७make certain your tires are not worn DQG७ WKH७ DUH७SURSHUO७ LQȵDWHG७ ७ H७ VXUH७your suspension is set properly to handle its load Finally and perhaps most important be positive you know how to maneuver your motorcycle correctly
If you are a new rider or even a rider who has ridden countless hours on ȵDWWHU७ WHUUDLQ७ VWDUW७ E७ SUDFWLFLQJ७ LQ७ D७vacant parking lot Set up ldquoSrdquo turns DQG७GR७గȴJXUH७ఁఘ७WXUQV७XQWLO७RXఖUH७EOXH७in the face After yoursquove built up a bit RI७ FRQȴGHQFH७ JDXJH७ RXU७ DELOLW७ DQG७comfort by riding through curves and sets of curves on some of your favorite roads using various legal speeds lean angles and positions while staying in your lane If you ride with a passenger make sure that person is on the bike as you practice Taking an advanced rider class that offers extensive training in counter-steering which is essential for maneuvering through curves and switchbacks may also help you improve your control over your motorcycle If yoursquore riding with a group practice with them on familiar curvy roads before you take on new mountain roads especially most of the ones I write about
If you are unsure yoursquore ready to ldquoride with the big dogsrdquo here are a few hints from the MSF that might help you decide you need a bit more practice before heading to The Tail of the Dragon or similar roads1 You approach a curve so fast you
have to brake hard before you enter the curve
७ ltRXఖUH७ LQ७ PLGFRUQHU७ DQG७ ȴQG७ RX७must brake or lean to an extreme angle to maintain your line
3 Yoursquore multi-apexing which means your line through the curve is not one smooth arc
4 Your footrests or boots scrape the ground as you round the curve
5 You try to keep up with other riders despite the fact itrsquos risky and you are uncomfortable
6 Yoursquore feeling fatigued because yoursquore gripping your handgrips too tightly while trying to force your bike through the curve
७ ltRXU७ DUPV७ DUH७ ȴJKWLQJ७ HDFK७ RWKHU७when counter-steering
8 Yoursquore so focused on the cornering techniques that you are ignoring obstacles in the road or an oncoming car or bus drifting (encroaching) into your lane
9 That ldquolittle safety voicerdquo inside your head is telling you to slow down
10 Yoursquore feeling uncomfortable andor nervous
7KH७ ȴQDO७ WKLQJ७ RX७ VKRXOG७ UHPHPEHU७
is your ego can get you or others killed Before you take on any mountain road be certain you are comfortable maneuvering blind curves ldquoSrdquo turns and switchbacks
When you are truly comfortable maneuvering mountain roads Go For A Ride and return home safely to tell us about it

(This is another report from the road by Clay Douglass as he and his wife make their motorcycle journey from the Florida Keys to Alaska this summer)
Our 287 mile ride from Beaumont to Burleson was perfect A light breeze WHPSV७ LQ७ WKH७ PLG७ ௹ఖV७ OLWWOH७ WUDɚF७ DQG७clear skies made for a great ride Our nephew Mickey was home by the time we arrived Mickey is a machinistengine builder for Reher Morrison Racing Engines in Arlington TX His home has a large yard bordered at the rear by horse pastures Hawks and Kites frequent his back yard Sometimes at head height Mickey is the pet of two canines They are kind to him and treat him well Hershey a very large chocolate Lab and Spot a stout Staffordshire terrier are good natured Both have interesting personalities Hershey is a hulking best friend that is always by your side He would be a handful if provoked Spot has the coloration of a Dalmatian but the shape of a Staffordshire which is similar to the more common Pit Bull Spot has the ldquoJoe Coolrdquo routine down pat Spot has quite a way with the ladies He has a way of holding his head as if he is looking at something off in the distant
At just the right moment he will move one eye and slowly gaze into the eyes of the unsuspecting lady Another heart is stolen Lance Romance has nothing on Spot It has taken Hershey and Spot a lot of time and effort to train Mickey but they have done an excellent job For instance they really donrsquot like being left behind As Mickey had put over 100000 miles on his 2004 Fat Boy by 2009 he tends to ride more than most This being an issue to Hershey and Spot aka ldquothe boysrdquo they instructed Mickey to get busy and come up with a way for them to go for a ride or else Mickey caved quickly and built a 2005 springer soft tail with a Liberty sidecar just for them The boys were pleased with his effort but not WKH७ UHVXOW७ ७ 7KH७ VWDQGDUG७ ȵRRULQJ७ ZDV७too high for Hershey which made it hard for him to stay put in the twisties 7KLV७ UHTXLUHG७ ORZHULQJ७ RI७ WKH७ ȵRRU७ ७ Q७addition the standard unit required both of the boys to jump into the sidecar This was absolutely a deal breaker as Hershey is getting on in years and does not like to jump Two bites to the rump later Mickey got busy and produced a door A comfortable carpet was next on the list of requests This was merely one of many EHIRUH७+HUVKH७DQG७6SRW७ȴQDOO७JDYH७WKH७rig two tail wags All together the bike

One news item that caught my eye was a transportation bill that is being attempted to be fast tracked by the White House I would encourage you to pay close attention to this bill I canrsquot believe some egg-head came up with this acronym for the ldquoGrow America Actrdquo Generating Renewal Opportunity and RUN७ZLWK७$FFHOHUDWHG७0RELOLW७(ɚFLHQF७and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America It is destined to replace MAP-21 When you read it on the surface you think ldquoWell thatrsquos not a bad ideardquo to have safer bridges and roads and more public transportation But as you read deeper you start to wonder about comments that will allow DOT more absolute power One little sentence I found tucked away was ldquoAllows the Department to be more engaged in motorcycle helmet policy discussions in the Statesrdquo Can you sayhelliprdquofederal helmet lawsrdquo There is language that talks about inspection of auto dealerships to see if a vehicle conforms to the federal fuel standards and that they could impound vehicles right off car lots for the sole purpose of checking the conformability of the vehicle Then there is talk about public transportation IE buses bike lanes tunnels bridges and light rail It dawned on me that you need real estate for those so some poor homeland owner may be in for a rude awakening by a knock on the door and the land-grabbing-cops telling you that a train is coming throughhellipnow get out This is a 302 BILLION dollar over 4 years project But wait business ownershelliptherersquos more This tax plan and believe me thatrsquos what it is will be supplementing the current revenue with $150 billion in the form of one-time transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform Irsquom certainly not an expert here but on
the surface the pro-growth reform looks JRRG७ ఖP७ MXVW७ WULQJ७ WR७ ȴJXUH७ RXW७ ZK७$150 billion is being sucked out of that program

Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed
endo over a jump where I hung onto WKH७ KDQGOHEDUV७ DQG७ ȵHZ७ DERXW७ ௹७ IHHW७with the bike and about another 30 feet without the bike After rolling through a ditch and bouncing to my feet I walked back to the bike which was still running and reached down to hit the kill switch when I realized that my arm and shoulder did not work Fortunately I somehow survived my biker youth
After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

By Miller LanghorneSo will future Harley-Davidson

Irsquove got to give Harley some credit for taking a measured approach to entering the electric vehicle market Itrsquos still a relatively young industry with many yet to be answered questions about how HOHFWULF७YHKLFOHV७ZLOO७ȴW७LQWR७WKH७PL[७+RZ७much range can you get out of a single charge How long do I have to wait to get a full recharge Where can I get a recharge when Irsquom away from home How safe are the batteries Also how long will they last and how much will it cost to replace them And of course how
do I attach some loud pipes to one of these things
The Project Livewire bike itself seems to me the proper mix of Harley tradition and modern styling The Motor Company hasnrsquot released a whole lot of info on specs and such but I can tell you a few things that are already known Itrsquos got an aggressive sport-bike look to it with a cast aluminum frame weighing just 14 pounds and holding a longitudinally mounted three-phase AC motor The engine is rated at 74 horsepower with 52 pound-feet of torque and is oil cooled Harley says the bike will accelerate from a stop to 60mph in less than 4 seconds and hit a top speed just over 90mph There are no gears to shift and two ride modes to choose from Range or Power depending on whether yoursquore looking to go a little farther or a little faster I suppose Charging time for the lithium-ion battery is estimated to be about 3 frac12 hours Riding range is estimated to be about 50 miles or so which will need to be greatly improved for the bike to be practical for everyday use An LED headlight shows the way and the rubber meets the road with a 12070-18 front tire and a 18055-17 holding up the rear The aluminum wheels have hollow spokes in another effort to reduce weight On top of the handlebars replacing the traditional tach and speedo is a rectangular computer console The rumble of potato potato

Are You Ready to Ride That Mountain Road
By Bernie StevensAlthough we have plenty of roads in
Florida that twist and turn we donrsquot have mountain roads Thatrsquos why many readers of Go For A Ride have bucket lists that include traveling to Maine Colorado North Carolina Georgia and other mountainous states to ride roads with switchbacks and more curves than me
While riding mountain roads with tight switchbacks and ldquoSrdquo turns can be great fun on a motorcycle according to the Motorcycle Safety Foundationreg (MSF) the number one cause of motorcycle accidents is running off the road while cornering Although one rides cautiously and within the speed limit unexpected road hazards like sand oil slicks gravel and wet roads are common in the mountains Ice can be a problem at higher elevations even in the spring and summer
Before you take on any road but VSHFLȴFDOO७ D७ WZLVW७ PRXQWDLQ७ URDG७make certain your tires are not worn DQG७ WKH७ DUH७SURSHUO७ LQȵDWHG७ ७ H७ VXUH७your suspension is set properly to handle its load Finally and perhaps most important be positive you know how to maneuver your motorcycle correctly
If you are a new rider or even a rider who has ridden countless hours on ȵDWWHU७ WHUUDLQ७ VWDUW७ E७ SUDFWLFLQJ७ LQ७ D७vacant parking lot Set up ldquoSrdquo turns DQG७GR७గȴJXUH७ఁఘ७WXUQV७XQWLO७RXఖUH७EOXH७in the face After yoursquove built up a bit RI७ FRQȴGHQFH७ JDXJH७ RXU७ DELOLW७ DQG७comfort by riding through curves and sets of curves on some of your favorite roads using various legal speeds lean angles and positions while staying in your lane If you ride with a passenger make sure that person is on the bike as you practice Taking an advanced rider class that offers extensive training in counter-steering which is essential for maneuvering through curves and switchbacks may also help you improve your control over your motorcycle If yoursquore riding with a group practice with them on familiar curvy roads before you take on new mountain roads especially most of the ones I write about
If you are unsure yoursquore ready to ldquoride with the big dogsrdquo here are a few hints from the MSF that might help you decide you need a bit more practice before heading to The Tail of the Dragon or similar roads1 You approach a curve so fast you
have to brake hard before you enter the curve
७ ltRXఖUH७ LQ७ PLGFRUQHU७ DQG७ ȴQG७ RX७must brake or lean to an extreme angle to maintain your line
3 Yoursquore multi-apexing which means your line through the curve is not one smooth arc
4 Your footrests or boots scrape the ground as you round the curve
5 You try to keep up with other riders despite the fact itrsquos risky and you are uncomfortable
6 Yoursquore feeling fatigued because yoursquore gripping your handgrips too tightly while trying to force your bike through the curve
७ ltRXU७ DUPV७ DUH७ ȴJKWLQJ७ HDFK७ RWKHU७when counter-steering
8 Yoursquore so focused on the cornering techniques that you are ignoring obstacles in the road or an oncoming car or bus drifting (encroaching) into your lane
9 That ldquolittle safety voicerdquo inside your head is telling you to slow down
10 Yoursquore feeling uncomfortable andor nervous
7KH७ ȴQDO७ WKLQJ७ RX७ VKRXOG७ UHPHPEHU७
is your ego can get you or others killed Before you take on any mountain road be certain you are comfortable maneuvering blind curves ldquoSrdquo turns and switchbacks
When you are truly comfortable maneuvering mountain roads Go For A Ride and return home safely to tell us about it

At just the right moment he will move one eye and slowly gaze into the eyes of the unsuspecting lady Another heart is stolen Lance Romance has nothing on Spot It has taken Hershey and Spot a lot of time and effort to train Mickey but they have done an excellent job For instance they really donrsquot like being left behind As Mickey had put over 100000 miles on his 2004 Fat Boy by 2009 he tends to ride more than most This being an issue to Hershey and Spot aka ldquothe boysrdquo they instructed Mickey to get busy and come up with a way for them to go for a ride or else Mickey caved quickly and built a 2005 springer soft tail with a Liberty sidecar just for them The boys were pleased with his effort but not WKH७ UHVXOW७ ७ 7KH७ VWDQGDUG७ ȵRRULQJ७ ZDV७too high for Hershey which made it hard for him to stay put in the twisties 7KLV७ UHTXLUHG७ ORZHULQJ७ RI७ WKH७ ȵRRU७ ७ Q७addition the standard unit required both of the boys to jump into the sidecar This was absolutely a deal breaker as Hershey is getting on in years and does not like to jump Two bites to the rump later Mickey got busy and produced a door A comfortable carpet was next on the list of requests This was merely one of many EHIRUH७+HUVKH७DQG७6SRW७ȴQDOO७JDYH७WKH७rig two tail wags All together the bike

One news item that caught my eye was a transportation bill that is being attempted to be fast tracked by the White House I would encourage you to pay close attention to this bill I canrsquot believe some egg-head came up with this acronym for the ldquoGrow America Actrdquo Generating Renewal Opportunity and RUN७ZLWK७$FFHOHUDWHG७0RELOLW७(ɚFLHQF७and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America It is destined to replace MAP-21 When you read it on the surface you think ldquoWell thatrsquos not a bad ideardquo to have safer bridges and roads and more public transportation But as you read deeper you start to wonder about comments that will allow DOT more absolute power One little sentence I found tucked away was ldquoAllows the Department to be more engaged in motorcycle helmet policy discussions in the Statesrdquo Can you sayhelliprdquofederal helmet lawsrdquo There is language that talks about inspection of auto dealerships to see if a vehicle conforms to the federal fuel standards and that they could impound vehicles right off car lots for the sole purpose of checking the conformability of the vehicle Then there is talk about public transportation IE buses bike lanes tunnels bridges and light rail It dawned on me that you need real estate for those so some poor homeland owner may be in for a rude awakening by a knock on the door and the land-grabbing-cops telling you that a train is coming throughhellipnow get out This is a 302 BILLION dollar over 4 years project But wait business ownershelliptherersquos more This tax plan and believe me thatrsquos what it is will be supplementing the current revenue with $150 billion in the form of one-time transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform Irsquom certainly not an expert here but on

Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great

A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed
endo over a jump where I hung onto WKH७ KDQGOHEDUV७ DQG७ ȵHZ७ DERXW७ ௹७ IHHW७with the bike and about another 30 feet without the bike After rolling through a ditch and bouncing to my feet I walked back to the bike which was still running and reached down to hit the kill switch when I realized that my arm and shoulder did not work Fortunately I somehow survived my biker youth
After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

By Miller LanghorneSo will future Harley-Davidson
merchandise displays include leather-braided extension cords The DQQRXQFHPHQW७ DERXW७ WKH७ ȴUVW७ HYHU७electric Harley-Davidson motorcycle seemed to catch a lot of people by surprise when the word came down from their Milwaukee headquarters on June 19th They call it Project Livewire and HYHQ७WKRXJK७WKHUHఖV७D७ȵHHW७RI७GHPR७ELNHV७touring around the country you wonrsquot ȴQG७WKH७ELNHV७RQ७WKH७GHDOHUఖV७VKRZURRP७ȵRRUV७ZKHQ७WKH७௹७PRGHOV७VWDUW७UROOLQJ७in soon In a video that was released prior to the big announcement on a website for Harley-Davidson Investor Relations company CFO John Olin explained that ldquoItrsquos important to note that this motorcycle is not available for purchase For now our goal with Project Livewire is to gather feedback on the motorcycle and market potentialrdquo
Irsquove got to give Harley some credit for taking a measured approach to entering the electric vehicle market Itrsquos still a relatively young industry with many yet to be answered questions about how HOHFWULF७YHKLFOHV७ZLOO७ȴW७LQWR७WKH७PL[७+RZ७much range can you get out of a single charge How long do I have to wait to get a full recharge Where can I get a recharge when Irsquom away from home How safe are the batteries Also how long will they last and how much will it cost to replace them And of course how
do I attach some loud pipes to one of these things
The Project Livewire bike itself seems to me the proper mix of Harley tradition and modern styling The Motor Company hasnrsquot released a whole lot of info on specs and such but I can tell you a few things that are already known Itrsquos got an aggressive sport-bike look to it with a cast aluminum frame weighing just 14 pounds and holding a longitudinally mounted three-phase AC motor The engine is rated at 74 horsepower with 52 pound-feet of torque and is oil cooled Harley says the bike will accelerate from a stop to 60mph in less than 4 seconds and hit a top speed just over 90mph There are no gears to shift and two ride modes to choose from Range or Power depending on whether yoursquore looking to go a little farther or a little faster I suppose Charging time for the lithium-ion battery is estimated to be about 3 frac12 hours Riding range is estimated to be about 50 miles or so which will need to be greatly improved for the bike to be practical for everyday use An LED headlight shows the way and the rubber meets the road with a 12070-18 front tire and a 18055-17 holding up the rear The aluminum wheels have hollow spokes in another effort to reduce weight On top of the handlebars replacing the traditional tach and speedo is a rectangular computer console The rumble of potato potato

Are You Ready to Ride That Mountain Road
By Bernie StevensAlthough we have plenty of roads in
Florida that twist and turn we donrsquot have mountain roads Thatrsquos why many readers of Go For A Ride have bucket lists that include traveling to Maine Colorado North Carolina Georgia and other mountainous states to ride roads with switchbacks and more curves than me
While riding mountain roads with tight switchbacks and ldquoSrdquo turns can be great fun on a motorcycle according to the Motorcycle Safety Foundationreg (MSF) the number one cause of motorcycle accidents is running off the road while cornering Although one rides cautiously and within the speed limit unexpected road hazards like sand oil slicks gravel and wet roads are common in the mountains Ice can be a problem at higher elevations even in the spring and summer
Before you take on any road but VSHFLȴFDOO७ D७ WZLVW७ PRXQWDLQ७ URDG७make certain your tires are not worn DQG७ WKH७ DUH७SURSHUO७ LQȵDWHG७ ७ H७ VXUH७your suspension is set properly to handle its load Finally and perhaps most important be positive you know how to maneuver your motorcycle correctly
If you are a new rider or even a rider who has ridden countless hours on ȵDWWHU७ WHUUDLQ७ VWDUW७ E७ SUDFWLFLQJ७ LQ७ D७vacant parking lot Set up ldquoSrdquo turns DQG७GR७గȴJXUH७ఁఘ७WXUQV७XQWLO७RXఖUH७EOXH७in the face After yoursquove built up a bit RI७ FRQȴGHQFH७ JDXJH७ RXU७ DELOLW७ DQG७comfort by riding through curves and sets of curves on some of your favorite roads using various legal speeds lean angles and positions while staying in your lane If you ride with a passenger make sure that person is on the bike as you practice Taking an advanced rider class that offers extensive training in counter-steering which is essential for maneuvering through curves and switchbacks may also help you improve your control over your motorcycle If yoursquore riding with a group practice with them on familiar curvy roads before you take on new mountain roads especially most of the ones I write about
If you are unsure yoursquore ready to ldquoride with the big dogsrdquo here are a few hints from the MSF that might help you decide you need a bit more practice before heading to The Tail of the Dragon or similar roads1 You approach a curve so fast you
have to brake hard before you enter the curve
७ ltRXఖUH७ LQ७ PLGFRUQHU७ DQG७ ȴQG७ RX७must brake or lean to an extreme angle to maintain your line
3 Yoursquore multi-apexing which means your line through the curve is not one smooth arc
4 Your footrests or boots scrape the ground as you round the curve
5 You try to keep up with other riders despite the fact itrsquos risky and you are uncomfortable
6 Yoursquore feeling fatigued because yoursquore gripping your handgrips too tightly while trying to force your bike through the curve
७ ltRXU७ DUPV७ DUH७ ȴJKWLQJ७ HDFK७ RWKHU७when counter-steering
8 Yoursquore so focused on the cornering techniques that you are ignoring obstacles in the road or an oncoming car or bus drifting (encroaching) into your lane
9 That ldquolittle safety voicerdquo inside your head is telling you to slow down
10 Yoursquore feeling uncomfortable andor nervous
7KH७ ȴQDO७ WKLQJ७ RX७ VKRXOG७ UHPHPEHU७
is your ego can get you or others killed Before you take on any mountain road be certain you are comfortable maneuvering blind curves ldquoSrdquo turns and switchbacks
When you are truly comfortable maneuvering mountain roads Go For A Ride and return home safely to tell us about it

At just the right moment he will move one eye and slowly gaze into the eyes of the unsuspecting lady Another heart is stolen Lance Romance has nothing on Spot It has taken Hershey and Spot a lot of time and effort to train Mickey but they have done an excellent job For instance they really donrsquot like being left behind As Mickey had put over 100000 miles on his 2004 Fat Boy by 2009 he tends to ride more than most This being an issue to Hershey and Spot aka ldquothe boysrdquo they instructed Mickey to get busy and come up with a way for them to go for a ride or else Mickey caved quickly and built a 2005 springer soft tail with a Liberty sidecar just for them The boys were pleased with his effort but not WKH७ UHVXOW७ ७ 7KH७ VWDQGDUG७ ȵRRULQJ७ ZDV७too high for Hershey which made it hard for him to stay put in the twisties 7KLV७ UHTXLUHG७ ORZHULQJ७ RI७ WKH७ ȵRRU७ ७ Q७addition the standard unit required both of the boys to jump into the sidecar This was absolutely a deal breaker as Hershey is getting on in years and does not like to jump Two bites to the rump later Mickey got busy and produced a door A comfortable carpet was next on the list of requests This was merely one of many EHIRUH७+HUVKH७DQG७6SRW७ȴQDOO७JDYH७WKH७rig two tail wags All together the bike

One news item that caught my eye was a transportation bill that is being attempted to be fast tracked by the White House I would encourage you to pay close attention to this bill I canrsquot believe some egg-head came up with this acronym for the ldquoGrow America Actrdquo Generating Renewal Opportunity and RUN७ZLWK७$FFHOHUDWHG७0RELOLW७(ɚFLHQF७and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America It is destined to replace MAP-21 When you read it on the surface you think ldquoWell thatrsquos not a bad ideardquo to have safer bridges and roads and more public transportation But as you read deeper you start to wonder about comments that will allow DOT more absolute power One little sentence I found tucked away was ldquoAllows the Department to be more engaged in motorcycle helmet policy discussions in the Statesrdquo Can you sayhelliprdquofederal helmet lawsrdquo There is language that talks about inspection of auto dealerships to see if a vehicle conforms to the federal fuel standards and that they could impound vehicles right off car lots for the sole purpose of checking the conformability of the vehicle Then there is talk about public transportation IE buses bike lanes tunnels bridges and light rail It dawned on me that you need real estate for those so some poor homeland owner may be in for a rude awakening by a knock on the door and the land-grabbing-cops telling you that a train is coming throughhellipnow get out This is a 302 BILLION dollar over 4 years project But wait business ownershelliptherersquos more This tax plan and believe me thatrsquos what it is will be supplementing the current revenue with $150 billion in the form of one-time transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform Irsquom certainly not an expert here but on
the surface the pro-growth reform looks JRRG७ ఖP७ MXVW७ WULQJ७ WR७ ȴJXUH७ RXW७ ZK७$150 billion is being sucked out of that program
Another tid-bit is what information can be gathered from the black boxes (EDR-event data recorders) located in your car and some motorcycles Although Data Boxes could provide lots of valuable information when it comes to crashes and proving fault it also provides information to insurance companies who can raise your rates according to your driving habits How about being taxed on your PLOHDJHఈ७ 7KDW७ SODQ७ LV७ ȵRDWLQJ७ DURXQG७Washington and what better way to do it than a black box sending information back to ldquocentral commandrdquo Hopefully better heads will prevail such as John Hoeven (R-ND) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) They have introduced an amendment to the ldquoDrivers Privacy Actrdquo that adds motorcycles to the language and keeps data the property of the owner of the vehicle private It would take a court order to retrieve the information How novel two members of the two political parties working together to protect the 4th amendment So watch-dogs unite Contact your congress-people be involved Soap box put away
Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed
endo over a jump where I hung onto WKH७ KDQGOHEDUV७ DQG७ ȵHZ७ DERXW७ ௹७ IHHW७with the bike and about another 30 feet without the bike After rolling through a ditch and bouncing to my feet I walked back to the bike which was still running and reached down to hit the kill switch when I realized that my arm and shoulder did not work Fortunately I somehow survived my biker youth
After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

By Miller LanghorneSo will future Harley-Davidson
merchandise displays include leather-braided extension cords The DQQRXQFHPHQW७ DERXW७ WKH७ ȴUVW७ HYHU७electric Harley-Davidson motorcycle seemed to catch a lot of people by surprise when the word came down from their Milwaukee headquarters on June 19th They call it Project Livewire and HYHQ७WKRXJK७WKHUHఖV७D७ȵHHW७RI७GHPR७ELNHV७touring around the country you wonrsquot ȴQG७WKH७ELNHV७RQ७WKH७GHDOHUఖV७VKRZURRP७ȵRRUV७ZKHQ७WKH७௹७PRGHOV७VWDUW७UROOLQJ७in soon In a video that was released prior to the big announcement on a website for Harley-Davidson Investor Relations company CFO John Olin explained that ldquoItrsquos important to note that this motorcycle is not available for purchase For now our goal with Project Livewire is to gather feedback on the motorcycle and market potentialrdquo
Irsquove got to give Harley some credit for taking a measured approach to entering the electric vehicle market Itrsquos still a relatively young industry with many yet to be answered questions about how HOHFWULF७YHKLFOHV७ZLOO७ȴW७LQWR७WKH७PL[७+RZ७much range can you get out of a single charge How long do I have to wait to get a full recharge Where can I get a recharge when Irsquom away from home How safe are the batteries Also how long will they last and how much will it cost to replace them And of course how
do I attach some loud pipes to one of these things
The Project Livewire bike itself seems to me the proper mix of Harley tradition and modern styling The Motor Company hasnrsquot released a whole lot of info on specs and such but I can tell you a few things that are already known Itrsquos got an aggressive sport-bike look to it with a cast aluminum frame weighing just 14 pounds and holding a longitudinally mounted three-phase AC motor The engine is rated at 74 horsepower with 52 pound-feet of torque and is oil cooled Harley says the bike will accelerate from a stop to 60mph in less than 4 seconds and hit a top speed just over 90mph There are no gears to shift and two ride modes to choose from Range or Power depending on whether yoursquore looking to go a little farther or a little faster I suppose Charging time for the lithium-ion battery is estimated to be about 3 frac12 hours Riding range is estimated to be about 50 miles or so which will need to be greatly improved for the bike to be practical for everyday use An LED headlight shows the way and the rubber meets the road with a 12070-18 front tire and a 18055-17 holding up the rear The aluminum wheels have hollow spokes in another effort to reduce weight On top of the handlebars replacing the traditional tach and speedo is a rectangular computer console The rumble of potato potato

Are You Ready to Ride That Mountain Road
By Bernie StevensAlthough we have plenty of roads in
Florida that twist and turn we donrsquot have mountain roads Thatrsquos why many readers of Go For A Ride have bucket lists that include traveling to Maine Colorado North Carolina Georgia and other mountainous states to ride roads with switchbacks and more curves than me
While riding mountain roads with tight switchbacks and ldquoSrdquo turns can be great fun on a motorcycle according to the Motorcycle Safety Foundationreg (MSF) the number one cause of motorcycle accidents is running off the road while cornering Although one rides cautiously and within the speed limit unexpected road hazards like sand oil slicks gravel and wet roads are common in the mountains Ice can be a problem at higher elevations even in the spring and summer
Before you take on any road but VSHFLȴFDOO७ D७ WZLVW७ PRXQWDLQ७ URDG७make certain your tires are not worn DQG७ WKH७ DUH७SURSHUO७ LQȵDWHG७ ७ H७ VXUH७your suspension is set properly to handle its load Finally and perhaps most important be positive you know how to maneuver your motorcycle correctly
If you are a new rider or even a rider who has ridden countless hours on ȵDWWHU७ WHUUDLQ७ VWDUW७ E७ SUDFWLFLQJ७ LQ७ D७vacant parking lot Set up ldquoSrdquo turns DQG७GR७గȴJXUH७ఁఘ७WXUQV७XQWLO७RXఖUH७EOXH७in the face After yoursquove built up a bit RI७ FRQȴGHQFH७ JDXJH७ RXU७ DELOLW७ DQG७comfort by riding through curves and sets of curves on some of your favorite roads using various legal speeds lean angles and positions while staying in your lane If you ride with a passenger make sure that person is on the bike as you practice Taking an advanced rider class that offers extensive training in counter-steering which is essential for maneuvering through curves and switchbacks may also help you improve your control over your motorcycle If yoursquore riding with a group practice with them on familiar curvy roads before you take on new mountain roads especially most of the ones I write about
If you are unsure yoursquore ready to ldquoride with the big dogsrdquo here are a few hints from the MSF that might help you decide you need a bit more practice before heading to The Tail of the Dragon or similar roads1 You approach a curve so fast you
have to brake hard before you enter the curve
७ ltRXఖUH७ LQ७ PLGFRUQHU७ DQG७ ȴQG७ RX७must brake or lean to an extreme angle to maintain your line
3 Yoursquore multi-apexing which means your line through the curve is not one smooth arc
4 Your footrests or boots scrape the ground as you round the curve
5 You try to keep up with other riders despite the fact itrsquos risky and you are uncomfortable
6 Yoursquore feeling fatigued because yoursquore gripping your handgrips too tightly while trying to force your bike through the curve
७ ltRXU७ DUPV७ DUH७ ȴJKWLQJ७ HDFK७ RWKHU७when counter-steering
8 Yoursquore so focused on the cornering techniques that you are ignoring obstacles in the road or an oncoming car or bus drifting (encroaching) into your lane
9 That ldquolittle safety voicerdquo inside your head is telling you to slow down
10 Yoursquore feeling uncomfortable andor nervous
7KH७ ȴQDO७ WKLQJ७ RX७ VKRXOG७ UHPHPEHU७
is your ego can get you or others killed Before you take on any mountain road be certain you are comfortable maneuvering blind curves ldquoSrdquo turns and switchbacks
When you are truly comfortable maneuvering mountain roads Go For A Ride and return home safely to tell us about it

(This is another report from the road by Clay Douglass as he and his wife make their motorcycle journey from the Florida Keys to Alaska this summer)
Our 287 mile ride from Beaumont to Burleson was perfect A light breeze WHPSV७ LQ७ WKH७ PLG७ ௹ఖV७ OLWWOH७ WUDɚF७ DQG७clear skies made for a great ride Our nephew Mickey was home by the time we arrived Mickey is a machinistengine builder for Reher Morrison Racing Engines in Arlington TX His home has a large yard bordered at the rear by horse pastures Hawks and Kites frequent his back yard Sometimes at head height Mickey is the pet of two canines They are kind to him and treat him well Hershey a very large chocolate Lab and Spot a stout Staffordshire terrier are good natured Both have interesting personalities Hershey is a hulking best friend that is always by your side He would be a handful if provoked Spot has the coloration of a Dalmatian but the shape of a Staffordshire which is similar to the more common Pit Bull Spot has the ldquoJoe Coolrdquo routine down pat Spot has quite a way with the ladies He has a way of holding his head as if he is looking at something off in the distant
At just the right moment he will move one eye and slowly gaze into the eyes of the unsuspecting lady Another heart is stolen Lance Romance has nothing on Spot It has taken Hershey and Spot a lot of time and effort to train Mickey but they have done an excellent job For instance they really donrsquot like being left behind As Mickey had put over 100000 miles on his 2004 Fat Boy by 2009 he tends to ride more than most This being an issue to Hershey and Spot aka ldquothe boysrdquo they instructed Mickey to get busy and come up with a way for them to go for a ride or else Mickey caved quickly and built a 2005 springer soft tail with a Liberty sidecar just for them The boys were pleased with his effort but not WKH७ UHVXOW७ ७ 7KH७ VWDQGDUG७ ȵRRULQJ७ ZDV७too high for Hershey which made it hard for him to stay put in the twisties 7KLV७ UHTXLUHG७ ORZHULQJ७ RI७ WKH७ ȵRRU७ ७ Q७addition the standard unit required both of the boys to jump into the sidecar This was absolutely a deal breaker as Hershey is getting on in years and does not like to jump Two bites to the rump later Mickey got busy and produced a door A comfortable carpet was next on the list of requests This was merely one of many EHIRUH७+HUVKH७DQG७6SRW७ȴQDOO७JDYH७WKH७rig two tail wags All together the bike

One news item that caught my eye was a transportation bill that is being attempted to be fast tracked by the White House I would encourage you to pay close attention to this bill I canrsquot believe some egg-head came up with this acronym for the ldquoGrow America Actrdquo Generating Renewal Opportunity and RUN७ZLWK७$FFHOHUDWHG७0RELOLW७(ɚFLHQF७and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America It is destined to replace MAP-21 When you read it on the surface you think ldquoWell thatrsquos not a bad ideardquo to have safer bridges and roads and more public transportation But as you read deeper you start to wonder about comments that will allow DOT more absolute power One little sentence I found tucked away was ldquoAllows the Department to be more engaged in motorcycle helmet policy discussions in the Statesrdquo Can you sayhelliprdquofederal helmet lawsrdquo There is language that talks about inspection of auto dealerships to see if a vehicle conforms to the federal fuel standards and that they could impound vehicles right off car lots for the sole purpose of checking the conformability of the vehicle Then there is talk about public transportation IE buses bike lanes tunnels bridges and light rail It dawned on me that you need real estate for those so some poor homeland owner may be in for a rude awakening by a knock on the door and the land-grabbing-cops telling you that a train is coming throughhellipnow get out This is a 302 BILLION dollar over 4 years project But wait business ownershelliptherersquos more This tax plan and believe me thatrsquos what it is will be supplementing the current revenue with $150 billion in the form of one-time transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform Irsquom certainly not an expert here but on
the surface the pro-growth reform looks JRRG७ ఖP७ MXVW७ WULQJ७ WR७ ȴJXUH७ RXW७ ZK७$150 billion is being sucked out of that program
Another tid-bit is what information can be gathered from the black boxes (EDR-event data recorders) located in your car and some motorcycles Although Data Boxes could provide lots of valuable information when it comes to crashes and proving fault it also provides information to insurance companies who can raise your rates according to your driving habits How about being taxed on your PLOHDJHఈ७ 7KDW७ SODQ७ LV७ ȵRDWLQJ७ DURXQG७Washington and what better way to do it than a black box sending information back to ldquocentral commandrdquo Hopefully better heads will prevail such as John Hoeven (R-ND) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) They have introduced an amendment to the ldquoDrivers Privacy Actrdquo that adds motorcycles to the language and keeps data the property of the owner of the vehicle private It would take a court order to retrieve the information How novel two members of the two political parties working together to protect the 4th amendment So watch-dogs unite Contact your congress-people be involved Soap box put away
Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed
endo over a jump where I hung onto WKH७ KDQGOHEDUV७ DQG७ ȵHZ७ DERXW७ ௹७ IHHW७with the bike and about another 30 feet without the bike After rolling through a ditch and bouncing to my feet I walked back to the bike which was still running and reached down to hit the kill switch when I realized that my arm and shoulder did not work Fortunately I somehow survived my biker youth
After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

By Miller LanghorneSo will future Harley-Davidson
merchandise displays include leather-braided extension cords The DQQRXQFHPHQW७ DERXW७ WKH७ ȴUVW७ HYHU७electric Harley-Davidson motorcycle seemed to catch a lot of people by surprise when the word came down from their Milwaukee headquarters on June 19th They call it Project Livewire and HYHQ७WKRXJK७WKHUHఖV७D७ȵHHW७RI७GHPR७ELNHV७touring around the country you wonrsquot ȴQG७WKH७ELNHV७RQ७WKH७GHDOHUఖV७VKRZURRP७ȵRRUV७ZKHQ७WKH७௹७PRGHOV७VWDUW७UROOLQJ७in soon In a video that was released prior to the big announcement on a website for Harley-Davidson Investor Relations company CFO John Olin explained that ldquoItrsquos important to note that this motorcycle is not available for purchase For now our goal with Project Livewire is to gather feedback on the motorcycle and market potentialrdquo
Irsquove got to give Harley some credit for taking a measured approach to entering the electric vehicle market Itrsquos still a relatively young industry with many yet to be answered questions about how HOHFWULF७YHKLFOHV७ZLOO७ȴW७LQWR७WKH७PL[७+RZ७much range can you get out of a single charge How long do I have to wait to get a full recharge Where can I get a recharge when Irsquom away from home How safe are the batteries Also how long will they last and how much will it cost to replace them And of course how
do I attach some loud pipes to one of these things
The Project Livewire bike itself seems to me the proper mix of Harley tradition and modern styling The Motor Company hasnrsquot released a whole lot of info on specs and such but I can tell you a few things that are already known Itrsquos got an aggressive sport-bike look to it with a cast aluminum frame weighing just 14 pounds and holding a longitudinally mounted three-phase AC motor The engine is rated at 74 horsepower with 52 pound-feet of torque and is oil cooled Harley says the bike will accelerate from a stop to 60mph in less than 4 seconds and hit a top speed just over 90mph There are no gears to shift and two ride modes to choose from Range or Power depending on whether yoursquore looking to go a little farther or a little faster I suppose Charging time for the lithium-ion battery is estimated to be about 3 frac12 hours Riding range is estimated to be about 50 miles or so which will need to be greatly improved for the bike to be practical for everyday use An LED headlight shows the way and the rubber meets the road with a 12070-18 front tire and a 18055-17 holding up the rear The aluminum wheels have hollow spokes in another effort to reduce weight On top of the handlebars replacing the traditional tach and speedo is a rectangular computer console The rumble of potato potato

Are You Ready to Ride That Mountain Road
By Bernie StevensAlthough we have plenty of roads in
Florida that twist and turn we donrsquot have mountain roads Thatrsquos why many readers of Go For A Ride have bucket lists that include traveling to Maine Colorado North Carolina Georgia and other mountainous states to ride roads with switchbacks and more curves than me
While riding mountain roads with tight switchbacks and ldquoSrdquo turns can be great fun on a motorcycle according to the Motorcycle Safety Foundationreg (MSF) the number one cause of motorcycle accidents is running off the road while cornering Although one rides cautiously and within the speed limit unexpected road hazards like sand oil slicks gravel and wet roads are common in the mountains Ice can be a problem at higher elevations even in the spring and summer
Before you take on any road but VSHFLȴFDOO७ D७ WZLVW७ PRXQWDLQ७ URDG७make certain your tires are not worn DQG७ WKH७ DUH७SURSHUO७ LQȵDWHG७ ७ H७ VXUH७your suspension is set properly to handle its load Finally and perhaps most important be positive you know how to maneuver your motorcycle correctly
If you are a new rider or even a rider who has ridden countless hours on ȵDWWHU७ WHUUDLQ७ VWDUW७ E७ SUDFWLFLQJ७ LQ७ D७vacant parking lot Set up ldquoSrdquo turns DQG७GR७గȴJXUH७ఁఘ७WXUQV७XQWLO७RXఖUH७EOXH७in the face After yoursquove built up a bit RI७ FRQȴGHQFH७ JDXJH७ RXU७ DELOLW७ DQG७comfort by riding through curves and sets of curves on some of your favorite roads using various legal speeds lean angles and positions while staying in your lane If you ride with a passenger make sure that person is on the bike as you practice Taking an advanced rider class that offers extensive training in counter-steering which is essential for maneuvering through curves and switchbacks may also help you improve your control over your motorcycle If yoursquore riding with a group practice with them on familiar curvy roads before you take on new mountain roads especially most of the ones I write about
If you are unsure yoursquore ready to ldquoride with the big dogsrdquo here are a few hints from the MSF that might help you decide you need a bit more practice before heading to The Tail of the Dragon or similar roads1 You approach a curve so fast you
have to brake hard before you enter the curve
७ ltRXఖUH७ LQ७ PLGFRUQHU७ DQG७ ȴQG७ RX७must brake or lean to an extreme angle to maintain your line
3 Yoursquore multi-apexing which means your line through the curve is not one smooth arc
4 Your footrests or boots scrape the ground as you round the curve
5 You try to keep up with other riders despite the fact itrsquos risky and you are uncomfortable
6 Yoursquore feeling fatigued because yoursquore gripping your handgrips too tightly while trying to force your bike through the curve
७ ltRXU७ DUPV७ DUH७ ȴJKWLQJ७ HDFK७ RWKHU७when counter-steering
8 Yoursquore so focused on the cornering techniques that you are ignoring obstacles in the road or an oncoming car or bus drifting (encroaching) into your lane
9 That ldquolittle safety voicerdquo inside your head is telling you to slow down
10 Yoursquore feeling uncomfortable andor nervous
7KH७ ȴQDO७ WKLQJ७ RX७ VKRXOG७ UHPHPEHU७
is your ego can get you or others killed Before you take on any mountain road be certain you are comfortable maneuvering blind curves ldquoSrdquo turns and switchbacks
When you are truly comfortable maneuvering mountain roads Go For A Ride and return home safely to tell us about it

At just the right moment he will move one eye and slowly gaze into the eyes of the unsuspecting lady Another heart is stolen Lance Romance has nothing on Spot It has taken Hershey and Spot a lot of time and effort to train Mickey but they have done an excellent job For instance they really donrsquot like being left behind As Mickey had put over 100000 miles on his 2004 Fat Boy by 2009 he tends to ride more than most This being an issue to Hershey and Spot aka ldquothe boysrdquo they instructed Mickey to get busy and come up with a way for them to go for a ride or else Mickey caved quickly and built a 2005 springer soft tail with a Liberty sidecar just for them The boys were pleased with his effort but not WKH७ UHVXOW७ ७ 7KH७ VWDQGDUG७ ȵRRULQJ७ ZDV७too high for Hershey which made it hard for him to stay put in the twisties 7KLV७ UHTXLUHG७ ORZHULQJ७ RI७ WKH७ ȵRRU७ ७ Q७addition the standard unit required both of the boys to jump into the sidecar This was absolutely a deal breaker as Hershey is getting on in years and does not like to jump Two bites to the rump later Mickey got busy and produced a door A comfortable carpet was next on the list of requests This was merely one of many EHIRUH७+HUVKH७DQG७6SRW७ȴQDOO७JDYH७WKH७rig two tail wags All together the bike

One news item that caught my eye was a transportation bill that is being attempted to be fast tracked by the White House I would encourage you to pay close attention to this bill I canrsquot believe some egg-head came up with this acronym for the ldquoGrow America Actrdquo Generating Renewal Opportunity and RUN७ZLWK७$FFHOHUDWHG७0RELOLW७(ɚFLHQF७and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America It is destined to replace MAP-21 When you read it on the surface you think ldquoWell thatrsquos not a bad ideardquo to have safer bridges and roads and more public transportation But as you read deeper you start to wonder about comments that will allow DOT more absolute power One little sentence I found tucked away was ldquoAllows the Department to be more engaged in motorcycle helmet policy discussions in the Statesrdquo Can you sayhelliprdquofederal helmet lawsrdquo There is language that talks about inspection of auto dealerships to see if a vehicle conforms to the federal fuel standards and that they could impound vehicles right off car lots for the sole purpose of checking the conformability of the vehicle Then there is talk about public transportation IE buses bike lanes tunnels bridges and light rail It dawned on me that you need real estate for those so some poor homeland owner may be in for a rude awakening by a knock on the door and the land-grabbing-cops telling you that a train is coming throughhellipnow get out This is a 302 BILLION dollar over 4 years project But wait business ownershelliptherersquos more This tax plan and believe me thatrsquos what it is will be supplementing the current revenue with $150 billion in the form of one-time transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform Irsquom certainly not an expert here but on

Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed
endo over a jump where I hung onto WKH७ KDQGOHEDUV७ DQG७ ȵHZ७ DERXW७ ௹७ IHHW७with the bike and about another 30 feet without the bike After rolling through a ditch and bouncing to my feet I walked back to the bike which was still running and reached down to hit the kill switch when I realized that my arm and shoulder did not work Fortunately I somehow survived my biker youth
After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Under former regulations VA paid burial EHQHȴWV७ RQ७ D७ UHLPEXUVHPHQW७ EDVLV७ ZKLFK७required survivors to submit receipts for relatively small one-time payments that VA generally paid at the maximum amount permitted by law

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

By Miller LanghorneSo will future Harley-Davidson
merchandise displays include leather-braided extension cords The DQQRXQFHPHQW७ DERXW७ WKH७ ȴUVW७ HYHU७electric Harley-Davidson motorcycle seemed to catch a lot of people by surprise when the word came down from their Milwaukee headquarters on June 19th They call it Project Livewire and HYHQ७WKRXJK७WKHUHఖV७D७ȵHHW७RI७GHPR७ELNHV७touring around the country you wonrsquot ȴQG७WKH७ELNHV७RQ७WKH७GHDOHUఖV७VKRZURRP७ȵRRUV७ZKHQ७WKH७௹७PRGHOV७VWDUW७UROOLQJ७in soon In a video that was released prior to the big announcement on a website for Harley-Davidson Investor Relations company CFO John Olin explained that ldquoItrsquos important to note that this motorcycle is not available for purchase For now our goal with Project Livewire is to gather feedback on the motorcycle and market potentialrdquo
Irsquove got to give Harley some credit for taking a measured approach to entering the electric vehicle market Itrsquos still a relatively young industry with many yet to be answered questions about how HOHFWULF७YHKLFOHV७ZLOO७ȴW७LQWR७WKH७PL[७+RZ७much range can you get out of a single charge How long do I have to wait to get a full recharge Where can I get a recharge when Irsquom away from home How safe are the batteries Also how long will they last and how much will it cost to replace them And of course how
do I attach some loud pipes to one of these things
The Project Livewire bike itself seems to me the proper mix of Harley tradition and modern styling The Motor Company hasnrsquot released a whole lot of info on specs and such but I can tell you a few things that are already known Itrsquos got an aggressive sport-bike look to it with a cast aluminum frame weighing just 14 pounds and holding a longitudinally mounted three-phase AC motor The engine is rated at 74 horsepower with 52 pound-feet of torque and is oil cooled Harley says the bike will accelerate from a stop to 60mph in less than 4 seconds and hit a top speed just over 90mph There are no gears to shift and two ride modes to choose from Range or Power depending on whether yoursquore looking to go a little farther or a little faster I suppose Charging time for the lithium-ion battery is estimated to be about 3 frac12 hours Riding range is estimated to be about 50 miles or so which will need to be greatly improved for the bike to be practical for everyday use An LED headlight shows the way and the rubber meets the road with a 12070-18 front tire and a 18055-17 holding up the rear The aluminum wheels have hollow spokes in another effort to reduce weight On top of the handlebars replacing the traditional tach and speedo is a rectangular computer console The rumble of potato potato

Are You Ready to Ride That Mountain Road
By Bernie StevensAlthough we have plenty of roads in
Florida that twist and turn we donrsquot have mountain roads Thatrsquos why many readers of Go For A Ride have bucket lists that include traveling to Maine Colorado North Carolina Georgia and other mountainous states to ride roads with switchbacks and more curves than me
While riding mountain roads with tight switchbacks and ldquoSrdquo turns can be great fun on a motorcycle according to the Motorcycle Safety Foundationreg (MSF) the number one cause of motorcycle accidents is running off the road while cornering Although one rides cautiously and within the speed limit unexpected road hazards like sand oil slicks gravel and wet roads are common in the mountains Ice can be a problem at higher elevations even in the spring and summer
Before you take on any road but VSHFLȴFDOO७ D७ WZLVW७ PRXQWDLQ७ URDG७make certain your tires are not worn DQG७ WKH७ DUH७SURSHUO७ LQȵDWHG७ ७ H७ VXUH७your suspension is set properly to handle its load Finally and perhaps most important be positive you know how to maneuver your motorcycle correctly
If you are a new rider or even a rider who has ridden countless hours on ȵDWWHU७ WHUUDLQ७ VWDUW७ E७ SUDFWLFLQJ७ LQ७ D७vacant parking lot Set up ldquoSrdquo turns DQG७GR७గȴJXUH७ఁఘ७WXUQV७XQWLO७RXఖUH७EOXH७in the face After yoursquove built up a bit RI७ FRQȴGHQFH७ JDXJH७ RXU७ DELOLW७ DQG७comfort by riding through curves and sets of curves on some of your favorite roads using various legal speeds lean angles and positions while staying in your lane If you ride with a passenger make sure that person is on the bike as you practice Taking an advanced rider class that offers extensive training in counter-steering which is essential for maneuvering through curves and switchbacks may also help you improve your control over your motorcycle If yoursquore riding with a group practice with them on familiar curvy roads before you take on new mountain roads especially most of the ones I write about
If you are unsure yoursquore ready to ldquoride with the big dogsrdquo here are a few hints from the MSF that might help you decide you need a bit more practice before heading to The Tail of the Dragon or similar roads1 You approach a curve so fast you
have to brake hard before you enter the curve
७ ltRXఖUH७ LQ७ PLGFRUQHU७ DQG७ ȴQG७ RX७must brake or lean to an extreme angle to maintain your line
3 Yoursquore multi-apexing which means your line through the curve is not one smooth arc
4 Your footrests or boots scrape the ground as you round the curve
5 You try to keep up with other riders despite the fact itrsquos risky and you are uncomfortable
6 Yoursquore feeling fatigued because yoursquore gripping your handgrips too tightly while trying to force your bike through the curve
७ ltRXU७ DUPV७ DUH७ ȴJKWLQJ७ HDFK७ RWKHU७when counter-steering
8 Yoursquore so focused on the cornering techniques that you are ignoring obstacles in the road or an oncoming car or bus drifting (encroaching) into your lane
9 That ldquolittle safety voicerdquo inside your head is telling you to slow down
10 Yoursquore feeling uncomfortable andor nervous
7KH७ ȴQDO७ WKLQJ७ RX७ VKRXOG७ UHPHPEHU७
is your ego can get you or others killed Before you take on any mountain road be certain you are comfortable maneuvering blind curves ldquoSrdquo turns and switchbacks
When you are truly comfortable maneuvering mountain roads Go For A Ride and return home safely to tell us about it

(This is another report from the road by Clay Douglass as he and his wife make their motorcycle journey from the Florida Keys to Alaska this summer)
Our 287 mile ride from Beaumont to Burleson was perfect A light breeze WHPSV७ LQ७ WKH७ PLG७ ௹ఖV७ OLWWOH७ WUDɚF७ DQG७clear skies made for a great ride Our nephew Mickey was home by the time we arrived Mickey is a machinistengine builder for Reher Morrison Racing Engines in Arlington TX His home has a large yard bordered at the rear by horse pastures Hawks and Kites frequent his back yard Sometimes at head height Mickey is the pet of two canines They are kind to him and treat him well Hershey a very large chocolate Lab and Spot a stout Staffordshire terrier are good natured Both have interesting personalities Hershey is a hulking best friend that is always by your side He would be a handful if provoked Spot has the coloration of a Dalmatian but the shape of a Staffordshire which is similar to the more common Pit Bull Spot has the ldquoJoe Coolrdquo routine down pat Spot has quite a way with the ladies He has a way of holding his head as if he is looking at something off in the distant
At just the right moment he will move one eye and slowly gaze into the eyes of the unsuspecting lady Another heart is stolen Lance Romance has nothing on Spot It has taken Hershey and Spot a lot of time and effort to train Mickey but they have done an excellent job For instance they really donrsquot like being left behind As Mickey had put over 100000 miles on his 2004 Fat Boy by 2009 he tends to ride more than most This being an issue to Hershey and Spot aka ldquothe boysrdquo they instructed Mickey to get busy and come up with a way for them to go for a ride or else Mickey caved quickly and built a 2005 springer soft tail with a Liberty sidecar just for them The boys were pleased with his effort but not WKH७ UHVXOW७ ७ 7KH७ VWDQGDUG७ ȵRRULQJ७ ZDV७too high for Hershey which made it hard for him to stay put in the twisties 7KLV७ UHTXLUHG७ ORZHULQJ७ RI७ WKH७ ȵRRU७ ७ Q७addition the standard unit required both of the boys to jump into the sidecar This was absolutely a deal breaker as Hershey is getting on in years and does not like to jump Two bites to the rump later Mickey got busy and produced a door A comfortable carpet was next on the list of requests This was merely one of many EHIRUH७+HUVKH७DQG७6SRW७ȴQDOO७JDYH७WKH७rig two tail wags All together the bike

The latest news is that the boys have 3000 miles logged in the MHS Express
Possum Kingdom State Park has over a hundred campsites About 3 were occupied when we arrived The park overlooks a lake The campsites have water and electric We chose Possum Kingdom because we had stopped in Wausau FL when passing through the Florida panhandle Wausau is the home of the Possum festival That is no joke Sometimes everything just goes your way That night the stars were highly visible The planets as well especially Mars was very brilliant Janie and I VKDUHG७ D७ VPDOO७ FDPSȴUH७ ZLWK७ VXɚFLHQW७moonlight to make it a perfect night

One news item that caught my eye was a transportation bill that is being attempted to be fast tracked by the White House I would encourage you to pay close attention to this bill I canrsquot believe some egg-head came up with this acronym for the ldquoGrow America Actrdquo Generating Renewal Opportunity and RUN७ZLWK७$FFHOHUDWHG७0RELOLW७(ɚFLHQF७and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America It is destined to replace MAP-21 When you read it on the surface you think ldquoWell thatrsquos not a bad ideardquo to have safer bridges and roads and more public transportation But as you read deeper you start to wonder about comments that will allow DOT more absolute power One little sentence I found tucked away was ldquoAllows the Department to be more engaged in motorcycle helmet policy discussions in the Statesrdquo Can you sayhelliprdquofederal helmet lawsrdquo There is language that talks about inspection of auto dealerships to see if a vehicle conforms to the federal fuel standards and that they could impound vehicles right off car lots for the sole purpose of checking the conformability of the vehicle Then there is talk about public transportation IE buses bike lanes tunnels bridges and light rail It dawned on me that you need real estate for those so some poor homeland owner may be in for a rude awakening by a knock on the door and the land-grabbing-cops telling you that a train is coming throughhellipnow get out This is a 302 BILLION dollar over 4 years project But wait business ownershelliptherersquos more This tax plan and believe me thatrsquos what it is will be supplementing the current revenue with $150 billion in the form of one-time transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform Irsquom certainly not an expert here but on

Another tid-bit is what information can be gathered from the black boxes (EDR-event data recorders) located in your car and some motorcycles Although Data Boxes could provide lots of valuable information when it comes to crashes and proving fault it also provides information to insurance companies who can raise your rates according to your driving habits How about being taxed on your PLOHDJHఈ७ 7KDW७ SODQ७ LV७ ȵRDWLQJ७ DURXQG७Washington and what better way to do it than a black box sending information back to ldquocentral commandrdquo Hopefully better heads will prevail such as John Hoeven (R-ND) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) They have introduced an amendment to the ldquoDrivers Privacy Actrdquo that adds motorcycles to the language and keeps data the property of the owner of the vehicle private It would take a court order to retrieve the information How novel two members of the two political parties working together to protect the 4th amendment So watch-dogs unite Contact your congress-people be involved Soap box put away
Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed

After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

We seemed to hit it off pretty well and I couldnrsquot place her but she seemed
familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

I hope everyone had a safe 4th of July Mine was great spending the evening on Ft Myers Beach with good friends lots of IRRG७DQG७DQ७$(620(७ȴUHZRUNV७VKRZ
The ride home was perfectnot hot not cold just ldquobiker rightrdquo
Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

By Miller LanghorneSo will future Harley-Davidson

Irsquove got to give Harley some credit for taking a measured approach to entering the electric vehicle market Itrsquos still a relatively young industry with many yet to be answered questions about how HOHFWULF७YHKLFOHV७ZLOO७ȴW७LQWR७WKH७PL[७+RZ७much range can you get out of a single charge How long do I have to wait to get a full recharge Where can I get a recharge when Irsquom away from home How safe are the batteries Also how long will they last and how much will it cost to replace them And of course how
do I attach some loud pipes to one of these things
The Project Livewire bike itself seems to me the proper mix of Harley tradition and modern styling The Motor Company hasnrsquot released a whole lot of info on specs and such but I can tell you a few things that are already known Itrsquos got an aggressive sport-bike look to it with a cast aluminum frame weighing just 14 pounds and holding a longitudinally mounted three-phase AC motor The engine is rated at 74 horsepower with 52 pound-feet of torque and is oil cooled Harley says the bike will accelerate from a stop to 60mph in less than 4 seconds and hit a top speed just over 90mph There are no gears to shift and two ride modes to choose from Range or Power depending on whether yoursquore looking to go a little farther or a little faster I suppose Charging time for the lithium-ion battery is estimated to be about 3 frac12 hours Riding range is estimated to be about 50 miles or so which will need to be greatly improved for the bike to be practical for everyday use An LED headlight shows the way and the rubber meets the road with a 12070-18 front tire and a 18055-17 holding up the rear The aluminum wheels have hollow spokes in another effort to reduce weight On top of the handlebars replacing the traditional tach and speedo is a rectangular computer console The rumble of potato potato

Are You Ready to Ride That Mountain Road
By Bernie StevensAlthough we have plenty of roads in
Florida that twist and turn we donrsquot have mountain roads Thatrsquos why many readers of Go For A Ride have bucket lists that include traveling to Maine Colorado North Carolina Georgia and other mountainous states to ride roads with switchbacks and more curves than me
While riding mountain roads with tight switchbacks and ldquoSrdquo turns can be great fun on a motorcycle according to the Motorcycle Safety Foundationreg (MSF) the number one cause of motorcycle accidents is running off the road while cornering Although one rides cautiously and within the speed limit unexpected road hazards like sand oil slicks gravel and wet roads are common in the mountains Ice can be a problem at higher elevations even in the spring and summer
Before you take on any road but VSHFLȴFDOO७ D७ WZLVW७ PRXQWDLQ७ URDG७make certain your tires are not worn DQG७ WKH७ DUH७SURSHUO७ LQȵDWHG७ ७ H७ VXUH७your suspension is set properly to handle its load Finally and perhaps most important be positive you know how to maneuver your motorcycle correctly
If you are a new rider or even a rider who has ridden countless hours on ȵDWWHU७ WHUUDLQ७ VWDUW७ E७ SUDFWLFLQJ७ LQ७ D७vacant parking lot Set up ldquoSrdquo turns DQG७GR७గȴJXUH७ఁఘ७WXUQV७XQWLO७RXఖUH७EOXH७in the face After yoursquove built up a bit RI७ FRQȴGHQFH७ JDXJH७ RXU७ DELOLW७ DQG७comfort by riding through curves and sets of curves on some of your favorite roads using various legal speeds lean angles and positions while staying in your lane If you ride with a passenger make sure that person is on the bike as you practice Taking an advanced rider class that offers extensive training in counter-steering which is essential for maneuvering through curves and switchbacks may also help you improve your control over your motorcycle If yoursquore riding with a group practice with them on familiar curvy roads before you take on new mountain roads especially most of the ones I write about
If you are unsure yoursquore ready to ldquoride with the big dogsrdquo here are a few hints from the MSF that might help you decide you need a bit more practice before heading to The Tail of the Dragon or similar roads1 You approach a curve so fast you
have to brake hard before you enter the curve
७ ltRXఖUH७ LQ७ PLGFRUQHU७ DQG७ ȴQG७ RX७must brake or lean to an extreme angle to maintain your line
3 Yoursquore multi-apexing which means your line through the curve is not one smooth arc
4 Your footrests or boots scrape the ground as you round the curve
5 You try to keep up with other riders despite the fact itrsquos risky and you are uncomfortable
6 Yoursquore feeling fatigued because yoursquore gripping your handgrips too tightly while trying to force your bike through the curve
७ ltRXU७ DUPV७ DUH७ ȴJKWLQJ७ HDFK७ RWKHU७when counter-steering
8 Yoursquore so focused on the cornering techniques that you are ignoring obstacles in the road or an oncoming car or bus drifting (encroaching) into your lane
9 That ldquolittle safety voicerdquo inside your head is telling you to slow down
10 Yoursquore feeling uncomfortable andor nervous
7KH७ ȴQDO७ WKLQJ७ RX७ VKRXOG७ UHPHPEHU७
is your ego can get you or others killed Before you take on any mountain road be certain you are comfortable maneuvering blind curves ldquoSrdquo turns and switchbacks
When you are truly comfortable maneuvering mountain roads Go For A Ride and return home safely to tell us about it

At just the right moment he will move one eye and slowly gaze into the eyes of the unsuspecting lady Another heart is stolen Lance Romance has nothing on Spot It has taken Hershey and Spot a lot of time and effort to train Mickey but they have done an excellent job For instance they really donrsquot like being left behind As Mickey had put over 100000 miles on his 2004 Fat Boy by 2009 he tends to ride more than most This being an issue to Hershey and Spot aka ldquothe boysrdquo they instructed Mickey to get busy and come up with a way for them to go for a ride or else Mickey caved quickly and built a 2005 springer soft tail with a Liberty sidecar just for them The boys were pleased with his effort but not WKH७ UHVXOW७ ७ 7KH७ VWDQGDUG७ ȵRRULQJ७ ZDV७too high for Hershey which made it hard for him to stay put in the twisties 7KLV७ UHTXLUHG७ ORZHULQJ७ RI७ WKH७ ȵRRU७ ७ Q७addition the standard unit required both of the boys to jump into the sidecar This was absolutely a deal breaker as Hershey is getting on in years and does not like to jump Two bites to the rump later Mickey got busy and produced a door A comfortable carpet was next on the list of requests This was merely one of many EHIRUH७+HUVKH७DQG७6SRW७ȴQDOO७JDYH७WKH७rig two tail wags All together the bike

One news item that caught my eye was a transportation bill that is being attempted to be fast tracked by the White House I would encourage you to pay close attention to this bill I canrsquot believe some egg-head came up with this acronym for the ldquoGrow America Actrdquo Generating Renewal Opportunity and RUN७ZLWK७$FFHOHUDWHG७0RELOLW७(ɚFLHQF७and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America It is destined to replace MAP-21 When you read it on the surface you think ldquoWell thatrsquos not a bad ideardquo to have safer bridges and roads and more public transportation But as you read deeper you start to wonder about comments that will allow DOT more absolute power One little sentence I found tucked away was ldquoAllows the Department to be more engaged in motorcycle helmet policy discussions in the Statesrdquo Can you sayhelliprdquofederal helmet lawsrdquo There is language that talks about inspection of auto dealerships to see if a vehicle conforms to the federal fuel standards and that they could impound vehicles right off car lots for the sole purpose of checking the conformability of the vehicle Then there is talk about public transportation IE buses bike lanes tunnels bridges and light rail It dawned on me that you need real estate for those so some poor homeland owner may be in for a rude awakening by a knock on the door and the land-grabbing-cops telling you that a train is coming throughhellipnow get out This is a 302 BILLION dollar over 4 years project But wait business ownershelliptherersquos more This tax plan and believe me thatrsquos what it is will be supplementing the current revenue with $150 billion in the form of one-time transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform Irsquom certainly not an expert here but on

Another tid-bit is what information can be gathered from the black boxes (EDR-event data recorders) located in your car and some motorcycles Although Data Boxes could provide lots of valuable information when it comes to crashes and proving fault it also provides information to insurance companies who can raise your rates according to your driving habits How about being taxed on your PLOHDJHఈ७ 7KDW७ SODQ७ LV७ ȵRDWLQJ७ DURXQG७Washington and what better way to do it than a black box sending information back to ldquocentral commandrdquo Hopefully better heads will prevail such as John Hoeven (R-ND) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) They have introduced an amendment to the ldquoDrivers Privacy Actrdquo that adds motorcycles to the language and keeps data the property of the owner of the vehicle private It would take a court order to retrieve the information How novel two members of the two political parties working together to protect the 4th amendment So watch-dogs unite Contact your congress-people be involved Soap box put away
Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed
endo over a jump where I hung onto WKH७ KDQGOHEDUV७ DQG७ ȵHZ७ DERXW७ ௹७ IHHW७with the bike and about another 30 feet without the bike After rolling through a ditch and bouncing to my feet I walked back to the bike which was still running and reached down to hit the kill switch when I realized that my arm and shoulder did not work Fortunately I somehow survived my biker youth
After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem

than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

merchandise displays include leather-braided extension cords The DQQRXQFHPHQW७ DERXW७ WKH७ ȴUVW७ HYHU७electric Harley-Davidson motorcycle seemed to catch a lot of people by surprise when the word came down from their Milwaukee headquarters on June 19th They call it Project Livewire and HYHQ७WKRXJK७WKHUHఖV७D७ȵHHW७RI७GHPR७ELNHV७touring around the country you wonrsquot ȴQG७WKH७ELNHV७RQ७WKH७GHDOHUఖV७VKRZURRP७ȵRRUV७ZKHQ७WKH७௹७PRGHOV७VWDUW७UROOLQJ७in soon In a video that was released prior to the big announcement on a website for Harley-Davidson Investor Relations company CFO John Olin explained that ldquoItrsquos important to note that this motorcycle is not available for purchase For now our goal with Project Livewire is to gather feedback on the motorcycle and market potentialrdquo
Irsquove got to give Harley some credit for taking a measured approach to entering the electric vehicle market Itrsquos still a relatively young industry with many yet to be answered questions about how HOHFWULF७YHKLFOHV७ZLOO७ȴW७LQWR७WKH७PL[७+RZ७much range can you get out of a single charge How long do I have to wait to get a full recharge Where can I get a recharge when Irsquom away from home How safe are the batteries Also how long will they last and how much will it cost to replace them And of course how
do I attach some loud pipes to one of these things
The Project Livewire bike itself seems to me the proper mix of Harley tradition and modern styling The Motor Company hasnrsquot released a whole lot of info on specs and such but I can tell you a few things that are already known Itrsquos got an aggressive sport-bike look to it with a cast aluminum frame weighing just 14 pounds and holding a longitudinally mounted three-phase AC motor The engine is rated at 74 horsepower with 52 pound-feet of torque and is oil cooled Harley says the bike will accelerate from a stop to 60mph in less than 4 seconds and hit a top speed just over 90mph There are no gears to shift and two ride modes to choose from Range or Power depending on whether yoursquore looking to go a little farther or a little faster I suppose Charging time for the lithium-ion battery is estimated to be about 3 frac12 hours Riding range is estimated to be about 50 miles or so which will need to be greatly improved for the bike to be practical for everyday use An LED headlight shows the way and the rubber meets the road with a 12070-18 front tire and a 18055-17 holding up the rear The aluminum wheels have hollow spokes in another effort to reduce weight On top of the handlebars replacing the traditional tach and speedo is a rectangular computer console The rumble of potato potato

Are You Ready to Ride That Mountain Road
By Bernie StevensAlthough we have plenty of roads in
Florida that twist and turn we donrsquot have mountain roads Thatrsquos why many readers of Go For A Ride have bucket lists that include traveling to Maine Colorado North Carolina Georgia and other mountainous states to ride roads with switchbacks and more curves than me
While riding mountain roads with tight switchbacks and ldquoSrdquo turns can be great fun on a motorcycle according to the Motorcycle Safety Foundationreg (MSF) the number one cause of motorcycle accidents is running off the road while cornering Although one rides cautiously and within the speed limit unexpected road hazards like sand oil slicks gravel and wet roads are common in the mountains Ice can be a problem at higher elevations even in the spring and summer
Before you take on any road but VSHFLȴFDOO७ D७ WZLVW७ PRXQWDLQ७ URDG७make certain your tires are not worn DQG७ WKH७ DUH७SURSHUO७ LQȵDWHG७ ७ H७ VXUH७your suspension is set properly to handle its load Finally and perhaps most important be positive you know how to maneuver your motorcycle correctly
If you are a new rider or even a rider who has ridden countless hours on ȵDWWHU७ WHUUDLQ७ VWDUW७ E७ SUDFWLFLQJ७ LQ७ D७vacant parking lot Set up ldquoSrdquo turns DQG७GR७గȴJXUH७ఁఘ७WXUQV७XQWLO७RXఖUH७EOXH७in the face After yoursquove built up a bit RI७ FRQȴGHQFH७ JDXJH७ RXU७ DELOLW७ DQG७comfort by riding through curves and sets of curves on some of your favorite roads using various legal speeds lean angles and positions while staying in your lane If you ride with a passenger make sure that person is on the bike as you practice Taking an advanced rider class that offers extensive training in counter-steering which is essential for maneuvering through curves and switchbacks may also help you improve your control over your motorcycle If yoursquore riding with a group practice with them on familiar curvy roads before you take on new mountain roads especially most of the ones I write about
If you are unsure yoursquore ready to ldquoride with the big dogsrdquo here are a few hints from the MSF that might help you decide you need a bit more practice before heading to The Tail of the Dragon or similar roads1 You approach a curve so fast you
have to brake hard before you enter the curve
७ ltRXఖUH७ LQ७ PLGFRUQHU७ DQG७ ȴQG७ RX७must brake or lean to an extreme angle to maintain your line
3 Yoursquore multi-apexing which means your line through the curve is not one smooth arc
4 Your footrests or boots scrape the ground as you round the curve
5 You try to keep up with other riders despite the fact itrsquos risky and you are uncomfortable
6 Yoursquore feeling fatigued because yoursquore gripping your handgrips too tightly while trying to force your bike through the curve
७ ltRXU७ DUPV७ DUH७ ȴJKWLQJ७ HDFK७ RWKHU७when counter-steering
8 Yoursquore so focused on the cornering techniques that you are ignoring obstacles in the road or an oncoming car or bus drifting (encroaching) into your lane
9 That ldquolittle safety voicerdquo inside your head is telling you to slow down
10 Yoursquore feeling uncomfortable andor nervous
7KH७ ȴQDO७ WKLQJ७ RX७ VKRXOG७ UHPHPEHU७
is your ego can get you or others killed Before you take on any mountain road be certain you are comfortable maneuvering blind curves ldquoSrdquo turns and switchbacks
When you are truly comfortable maneuvering mountain roads Go For A Ride and return home safely to tell us about it

Our 287 mile ride from Beaumont to Burleson was perfect A light breeze WHPSV७ LQ७ WKH७ PLG७ ௹ఖV७ OLWWOH७ WUDɚF७ DQG७clear skies made for a great ride Our nephew Mickey was home by the time we arrived Mickey is a machinistengine builder for Reher Morrison Racing Engines in Arlington TX His home has a large yard bordered at the rear by horse pastures Hawks and Kites frequent his back yard Sometimes at head height Mickey is the pet of two canines They are kind to him and treat him well Hershey a very large chocolate Lab and Spot a stout Staffordshire terrier are good natured Both have interesting personalities Hershey is a hulking best friend that is always by your side He would be a handful if provoked Spot has the coloration of a Dalmatian but the shape of a Staffordshire which is similar to the more common Pit Bull Spot has the ldquoJoe Coolrdquo routine down pat Spot has quite a way with the ladies He has a way of holding his head as if he is looking at something off in the distant
At just the right moment he will move one eye and slowly gaze into the eyes of the unsuspecting lady Another heart is stolen Lance Romance has nothing on Spot It has taken Hershey and Spot a lot of time and effort to train Mickey but they have done an excellent job For instance they really donrsquot like being left behind As Mickey had put over 100000 miles on his 2004 Fat Boy by 2009 he tends to ride more than most This being an issue to Hershey and Spot aka ldquothe boysrdquo they instructed Mickey to get busy and come up with a way for them to go for a ride or else Mickey caved quickly and built a 2005 springer soft tail with a Liberty sidecar just for them The boys were pleased with his effort but not WKH७ UHVXOW७ ७ 7KH७ VWDQGDUG७ ȵRRULQJ७ ZDV७too high for Hershey which made it hard for him to stay put in the twisties 7KLV७ UHTXLUHG७ ORZHULQJ७ RI७ WKH७ ȵRRU७ ७ Q७addition the standard unit required both of the boys to jump into the sidecar This was absolutely a deal breaker as Hershey is getting on in years and does not like to jump Two bites to the rump later Mickey got busy and produced a door A comfortable carpet was next on the list of requests This was merely one of many EHIRUH७+HUVKH७DQG७6SRW७ȴQDOO७JDYH७WKH७rig two tail wags All together the bike

One news item that caught my eye was a transportation bill that is being attempted to be fast tracked by the White House I would encourage you to pay close attention to this bill I canrsquot believe some egg-head came up with this acronym for the ldquoGrow America Actrdquo Generating Renewal Opportunity and RUN७ZLWK७$FFHOHUDWHG७0RELOLW७(ɚFLHQF७and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America It is destined to replace MAP-21 When you read it on the surface you think ldquoWell thatrsquos not a bad ideardquo to have safer bridges and roads and more public transportation But as you read deeper you start to wonder about comments that will allow DOT more absolute power One little sentence I found tucked away was ldquoAllows the Department to be more engaged in motorcycle helmet policy discussions in the Statesrdquo Can you sayhelliprdquofederal helmet lawsrdquo There is language that talks about inspection of auto dealerships to see if a vehicle conforms to the federal fuel standards and that they could impound vehicles right off car lots for the sole purpose of checking the conformability of the vehicle Then there is talk about public transportation IE buses bike lanes tunnels bridges and light rail It dawned on me that you need real estate for those so some poor homeland owner may be in for a rude awakening by a knock on the door and the land-grabbing-cops telling you that a train is coming throughhellipnow get out This is a 302 BILLION dollar over 4 years project But wait business ownershelliptherersquos more This tax plan and believe me thatrsquos what it is will be supplementing the current revenue with $150 billion in the form of one-time transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform Irsquom certainly not an expert here but on

Another tid-bit is what information can be gathered from the black boxes (EDR-event data recorders) located in your car and some motorcycles Although Data Boxes could provide lots of valuable information when it comes to crashes and proving fault it also provides information to insurance companies who can raise your rates according to your driving habits How about being taxed on your PLOHDJHఈ७ 7KDW७ SODQ७ LV७ ȵRDWLQJ७ DURXQG७Washington and what better way to do it than a black box sending information back to ldquocentral commandrdquo Hopefully better heads will prevail such as John Hoeven (R-ND) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) They have introduced an amendment to the ldquoDrivers Privacy Actrdquo that adds motorcycles to the language and keeps data the property of the owner of the vehicle private It would take a court order to retrieve the information How novel two members of the two political parties working together to protect the 4th amendment So watch-dogs unite Contact your congress-people be involved Soap box put away
Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed
endo over a jump where I hung onto WKH७ KDQGOHEDUV७ DQG७ ȵHZ७ DERXW७ ௹७ IHHW७with the bike and about another 30 feet without the bike After rolling through a ditch and bouncing to my feet I walked back to the bike which was still running and reached down to hit the kill switch when I realized that my arm and shoulder did not work Fortunately I somehow survived my biker youth
After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

Are You Ready to Ride That Mountain Road
By Bernie StevensAlthough we have plenty of roads in
Florida that twist and turn we donrsquot have mountain roads Thatrsquos why many readers of Go For A Ride have bucket lists that include traveling to Maine Colorado North Carolina Georgia and other mountainous states to ride roads with switchbacks and more curves than me
While riding mountain roads with tight switchbacks and ldquoSrdquo turns can be great fun on a motorcycle according to the Motorcycle Safety Foundationreg (MSF) the number one cause of motorcycle accidents is running off the road while cornering Although one rides cautiously and within the speed limit unexpected road hazards like sand oil slicks gravel and wet roads are common in the mountains Ice can be a problem at higher elevations even in the spring and summer
Before you take on any road but VSHFLȴFDOO७ D७ WZLVW७ PRXQWDLQ७ URDG७make certain your tires are not worn DQG७ WKH७ DUH७SURSHUO७ LQȵDWHG७ ७ H७ VXUH७your suspension is set properly to handle its load Finally and perhaps most important be positive you know how to maneuver your motorcycle correctly
If you are a new rider or even a rider who has ridden countless hours on ȵDWWHU७ WHUUDLQ७ VWDUW७ E७ SUDFWLFLQJ७ LQ७ D७vacant parking lot Set up ldquoSrdquo turns DQG७GR७గȴJXUH७ఁఘ७WXUQV७XQWLO७RXఖUH७EOXH७in the face After yoursquove built up a bit RI७ FRQȴGHQFH७ JDXJH७ RXU७ DELOLW७ DQG७comfort by riding through curves and sets of curves on some of your favorite roads using various legal speeds lean angles and positions while staying in your lane If you ride with a passenger make sure that person is on the bike as you practice Taking an advanced rider class that offers extensive training in counter-steering which is essential for maneuvering through curves and switchbacks may also help you improve your control over your motorcycle If yoursquore riding with a group practice with them on familiar curvy roads before you take on new mountain roads especially most of the ones I write about
If you are unsure yoursquore ready to ldquoride with the big dogsrdquo here are a few hints from the MSF that might help you decide you need a bit more practice before heading to The Tail of the Dragon or similar roads1 You approach a curve so fast you
have to brake hard before you enter the curve
७ ltRXఖUH७ LQ७ PLGFRUQHU७ DQG७ ȴQG७ RX७must brake or lean to an extreme angle to maintain your line
3 Yoursquore multi-apexing which means your line through the curve is not one smooth arc
4 Your footrests or boots scrape the ground as you round the curve
5 You try to keep up with other riders despite the fact itrsquos risky and you are uncomfortable
6 Yoursquore feeling fatigued because yoursquore gripping your handgrips too tightly while trying to force your bike through the curve
७ ltRXU७ DUPV७ DUH७ ȴJKWLQJ७ HDFK७ RWKHU७when counter-steering
8 Yoursquore so focused on the cornering techniques that you are ignoring obstacles in the road or an oncoming car or bus drifting (encroaching) into your lane
9 That ldquolittle safety voicerdquo inside your head is telling you to slow down
10 Yoursquore feeling uncomfortable andor nervous
7KH७ ȴQDO७ WKLQJ७ RX७ VKRXOG७ UHPHPEHU७
is your ego can get you or others killed Before you take on any mountain road be certain you are comfortable maneuvering blind curves ldquoSrdquo turns and switchbacks
When you are truly comfortable maneuvering mountain roads Go For A Ride and return home safely to tell us about it

By Clay DouglassChapter Three Mickey and the Boys
(This is another report from the road by Clay Douglass as he and his wife make their motorcycle journey from the Florida Keys to Alaska this summer)
Our 287 mile ride from Beaumont to Burleson was perfect A light breeze WHPSV७ LQ७ WKH७ PLG७ ௹ఖV७ OLWWOH७ WUDɚF७ DQG७clear skies made for a great ride Our nephew Mickey was home by the time we arrived Mickey is a machinistengine builder for Reher Morrison Racing Engines in Arlington TX His home has a large yard bordered at the rear by horse pastures Hawks and Kites frequent his back yard Sometimes at head height Mickey is the pet of two canines They are kind to him and treat him well Hershey a very large chocolate Lab and Spot a stout Staffordshire terrier are good natured Both have interesting personalities Hershey is a hulking best friend that is always by your side He would be a handful if provoked Spot has the coloration of a Dalmatian but the shape of a Staffordshire which is similar to the more common Pit Bull Spot has the ldquoJoe Coolrdquo routine down pat Spot has quite a way with the ladies He has a way of holding his head as if he is looking at something off in the distant
At just the right moment he will move one eye and slowly gaze into the eyes of the unsuspecting lady Another heart is stolen Lance Romance has nothing on Spot It has taken Hershey and Spot a lot of time and effort to train Mickey but they have done an excellent job For instance they really donrsquot like being left behind As Mickey had put over 100000 miles on his 2004 Fat Boy by 2009 he tends to ride more than most This being an issue to Hershey and Spot aka ldquothe boysrdquo they instructed Mickey to get busy and come up with a way for them to go for a ride or else Mickey caved quickly and built a 2005 springer soft tail with a Liberty sidecar just for them The boys were pleased with his effort but not WKH७ UHVXOW७ ७ 7KH७ VWDQGDUG७ ȵRRULQJ७ ZDV७too high for Hershey which made it hard for him to stay put in the twisties 7KLV७ UHTXLUHG७ ORZHULQJ७ RI७ WKH७ ȵRRU७ ७ Q७addition the standard unit required both of the boys to jump into the sidecar This was absolutely a deal breaker as Hershey is getting on in years and does not like to jump Two bites to the rump later Mickey got busy and produced a door A comfortable carpet was next on the list of requests This was merely one of many EHIRUH७+HUVKH७DQG७6SRW७ȴQDOO७JDYH७WKH७rig two tail wags All together the bike

The latest news is that the boys have 3000 miles logged in the MHS Express
Possum Kingdom State Park has over a hundred campsites About 3 were occupied when we arrived The park overlooks a lake The campsites have water and electric We chose Possum Kingdom because we had stopped in Wausau FL when passing through the Florida panhandle Wausau is the home of the Possum festival That is no joke Sometimes everything just goes your way That night the stars were highly visible The planets as well especially Mars was very brilliant Janie and I VKDUHG७ D७ VPDOO७ FDPSȴUH७ ZLWK७ VXɚFLHQW७moonlight to make it a perfect night

One news item that caught my eye was a transportation bill that is being attempted to be fast tracked by the White House I would encourage you to pay close attention to this bill I canrsquot believe some egg-head came up with this acronym for the ldquoGrow America Actrdquo Generating Renewal Opportunity and RUN७ZLWK७$FFHOHUDWHG७0RELOLW७(ɚFLHQF७and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America It is destined to replace MAP-21 When you read it on the surface you think ldquoWell thatrsquos not a bad ideardquo to have safer bridges and roads and more public transportation But as you read deeper you start to wonder about comments that will allow DOT more absolute power One little sentence I found tucked away was ldquoAllows the Department to be more engaged in motorcycle helmet policy discussions in the Statesrdquo Can you sayhelliprdquofederal helmet lawsrdquo There is language that talks about inspection of auto dealerships to see if a vehicle conforms to the federal fuel standards and that they could impound vehicles right off car lots for the sole purpose of checking the conformability of the vehicle Then there is talk about public transportation IE buses bike lanes tunnels bridges and light rail It dawned on me that you need real estate for those so some poor homeland owner may be in for a rude awakening by a knock on the door and the land-grabbing-cops telling you that a train is coming throughhellipnow get out This is a 302 BILLION dollar over 4 years project But wait business ownershelliptherersquos more This tax plan and believe me thatrsquos what it is will be supplementing the current revenue with $150 billion in the form of one-time transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform Irsquom certainly not an expert here but on

Another tid-bit is what information can be gathered from the black boxes (EDR-event data recorders) located in your car and some motorcycles Although Data Boxes could provide lots of valuable information when it comes to crashes and proving fault it also provides information to insurance companies who can raise your rates according to your driving habits How about being taxed on your PLOHDJHఈ७ 7KDW७ SODQ७ LV७ ȵRDWLQJ७ DURXQG७Washington and what better way to do it than a black box sending information back to ldquocentral commandrdquo Hopefully better heads will prevail such as John Hoeven (R-ND) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) They have introduced an amendment to the ldquoDrivers Privacy Actrdquo that adds motorcycles to the language and keeps data the property of the owner of the vehicle private It would take a court order to retrieve the information How novel two members of the two political parties working together to protect the 4th amendment So watch-dogs unite Contact your congress-people be involved Soap box put away
Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)

After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

The ride home was perfectnot hot not cold just ldquobiker rightrdquo
Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

I have a question for you riders that haul animals around on the backseat Guess what I just got a dog given to me to keep for a couple of days and itrsquos now been a couple weeks so Irsquove claimed her as my girl Shersquos a big dog Florida Kur or something I have these visions of having her ride on the back seat with me once I get going again I will have a trike and theyrsquore big so there shouldnrsquot be a space problem Where do I learn about having an animal ride with me I wouldnrsquot want Bella to get hurt in any way Irsquom thinking that in the summer time she wouldnrsquot be able to ride be-cause itrsquos too hot right If anyone has some suggestions or info for me please drop me a line at Kruisinwithkatiaolcom or visit me on Facebook Kruisinwith Katihellip Irsquod like to thank my son Derek for bringing this dog into my life itrsquos really aiding in my recovery makes me get off my rear and exercise my bad areas more than I would be doing otherwise

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

Are You Ready to Ride That Mountain Road
By Bernie StevensAlthough we have plenty of roads in
Florida that twist and turn we donrsquot have mountain roads Thatrsquos why many readers of Go For A Ride have bucket lists that include traveling to Maine Colorado North Carolina Georgia and other mountainous states to ride roads with switchbacks and more curves than me
While riding mountain roads with tight switchbacks and ldquoSrdquo turns can be great fun on a motorcycle according to the Motorcycle Safety Foundationreg (MSF) the number one cause of motorcycle accidents is running off the road while cornering Although one rides cautiously and within the speed limit unexpected road hazards like sand oil slicks gravel and wet roads are common in the mountains Ice can be a problem at higher elevations even in the spring and summer
Before you take on any road but VSHFLȴFDOO७ D७ WZLVW७ PRXQWDLQ७ URDG७make certain your tires are not worn DQG७ WKH७ DUH७SURSHUO७ LQȵDWHG७ ७ H७ VXUH७your suspension is set properly to handle its load Finally and perhaps most important be positive you know how to maneuver your motorcycle correctly
If you are a new rider or even a rider who has ridden countless hours on ȵDWWHU७ WHUUDLQ७ VWDUW७ E७ SUDFWLFLQJ७ LQ७ D७vacant parking lot Set up ldquoSrdquo turns DQG७GR७గȴJXUH७ఁఘ७WXUQV७XQWLO७RXఖUH७EOXH७in the face After yoursquove built up a bit RI७ FRQȴGHQFH७ JDXJH७ RXU७ DELOLW७ DQG७comfort by riding through curves and sets of curves on some of your favorite roads using various legal speeds lean angles and positions while staying in your lane If you ride with a passenger make sure that person is on the bike as you practice Taking an advanced rider class that offers extensive training in counter-steering which is essential for maneuvering through curves and switchbacks may also help you improve your control over your motorcycle If yoursquore riding with a group practice with them on familiar curvy roads before you take on new mountain roads especially most of the ones I write about
If you are unsure yoursquore ready to ldquoride with the big dogsrdquo here are a few hints from the MSF that might help you decide you need a bit more practice before heading to The Tail of the Dragon or similar roads1 You approach a curve so fast you
have to brake hard before you enter the curve
७ ltRXఖUH७ LQ७ PLGFRUQHU७ DQG७ ȴQG७ RX७must brake or lean to an extreme angle to maintain your line
3 Yoursquore multi-apexing which means your line through the curve is not one smooth arc
4 Your footrests or boots scrape the ground as you round the curve
5 You try to keep up with other riders despite the fact itrsquos risky and you are uncomfortable
6 Yoursquore feeling fatigued because yoursquore gripping your handgrips too tightly while trying to force your bike through the curve
७ ltRXU७ DUPV७ DUH७ ȴJKWLQJ७ HDFK७ RWKHU७when counter-steering
8 Yoursquore so focused on the cornering techniques that you are ignoring obstacles in the road or an oncoming car or bus drifting (encroaching) into your lane
9 That ldquolittle safety voicerdquo inside your head is telling you to slow down
10 Yoursquore feeling uncomfortable andor nervous
7KH७ ȴQDO७ WKLQJ७ RX७ VKRXOG७ UHPHPEHU७
is your ego can get you or others killed Before you take on any mountain road be certain you are comfortable maneuvering blind curves ldquoSrdquo turns and switchbacks
When you are truly comfortable maneuvering mountain roads Go For A Ride and return home safely to tell us about it

At just the right moment he will move one eye and slowly gaze into the eyes of the unsuspecting lady Another heart is stolen Lance Romance has nothing on Spot It has taken Hershey and Spot a lot of time and effort to train Mickey but they have done an excellent job For instance they really donrsquot like being left behind As Mickey had put over 100000 miles on his 2004 Fat Boy by 2009 he tends to ride more than most This being an issue to Hershey and Spot aka ldquothe boysrdquo they instructed Mickey to get busy and come up with a way for them to go for a ride or else Mickey caved quickly and built a 2005 springer soft tail with a Liberty sidecar just for them The boys were pleased with his effort but not WKH७ UHVXOW७ ७ 7KH७ VWDQGDUG७ ȵRRULQJ७ ZDV७too high for Hershey which made it hard for him to stay put in the twisties 7KLV७ UHTXLUHG७ ORZHULQJ७ RI७ WKH७ ȵRRU७ ७ Q७addition the standard unit required both of the boys to jump into the sidecar This was absolutely a deal breaker as Hershey is getting on in years and does not like to jump Two bites to the rump later Mickey got busy and produced a door A comfortable carpet was next on the list of requests This was merely one of many EHIRUH७+HUVKH७DQG७6SRW७ȴQDOO७JDYH७WKH७rig two tail wags All together the bike

the surface the pro-growth reform looks JRRG७ ఖP७ MXVW७ WULQJ७ WR७ ȴJXUH७ RXW७ ZK७$150 billion is being sucked out of that program
Another tid-bit is what information can be gathered from the black boxes (EDR-event data recorders) located in your car and some motorcycles Although Data Boxes could provide lots of valuable information when it comes to crashes and proving fault it also provides information to insurance companies who can raise your rates according to your driving habits How about being taxed on your PLOHDJHఈ७ 7KDW७ SODQ७ LV७ ȵRDWLQJ७ DURXQG७Washington and what better way to do it than a black box sending information back to ldquocentral commandrdquo Hopefully better heads will prevail such as John Hoeven (R-ND) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) They have introduced an amendment to the ldquoDrivers Privacy Actrdquo that adds motorcycles to the language and keeps data the property of the owner of the vehicle private It would take a court order to retrieve the information How novel two members of the two political parties working together to protect the 4th amendment So watch-dogs unite Contact your congress-people be involved Soap box put away
Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed
endo over a jump where I hung onto WKH७ KDQGOHEDUV७ DQG७ ȵHZ७ DERXW७ ௹७ IHHW७with the bike and about another 30 feet without the bike After rolling through a ditch and bouncing to my feet I walked back to the bike which was still running and reached down to hit the kill switch when I realized that my arm and shoulder did not work Fortunately I somehow survived my biker youth
After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

By Clay DouglassChapter Three Mickey and the Boys
(This is another report from the road by Clay Douglass as he and his wife make their motorcycle journey from the Florida Keys to Alaska this summer)
Our 287 mile ride from Beaumont to Burleson was perfect A light breeze WHPSV७ LQ७ WKH७ PLG७ ௹ఖV७ OLWWOH७ WUDɚF७ DQG७clear skies made for a great ride Our nephew Mickey was home by the time we arrived Mickey is a machinistengine builder for Reher Morrison Racing Engines in Arlington TX His home has a large yard bordered at the rear by horse pastures Hawks and Kites frequent his back yard Sometimes at head height Mickey is the pet of two canines They are kind to him and treat him well Hershey a very large chocolate Lab and Spot a stout Staffordshire terrier are good natured Both have interesting personalities Hershey is a hulking best friend that is always by your side He would be a handful if provoked Spot has the coloration of a Dalmatian but the shape of a Staffordshire which is similar to the more common Pit Bull Spot has the ldquoJoe Coolrdquo routine down pat Spot has quite a way with the ladies He has a way of holding his head as if he is looking at something off in the distant
At just the right moment he will move one eye and slowly gaze into the eyes of the unsuspecting lady Another heart is stolen Lance Romance has nothing on Spot It has taken Hershey and Spot a lot of time and effort to train Mickey but they have done an excellent job For instance they really donrsquot like being left behind As Mickey had put over 100000 miles on his 2004 Fat Boy by 2009 he tends to ride more than most This being an issue to Hershey and Spot aka ldquothe boysrdquo they instructed Mickey to get busy and come up with a way for them to go for a ride or else Mickey caved quickly and built a 2005 springer soft tail with a Liberty sidecar just for them The boys were pleased with his effort but not WKH७ UHVXOW७ ७ 7KH७ VWDQGDUG७ ȵRRULQJ७ ZDV७too high for Hershey which made it hard for him to stay put in the twisties 7KLV७ UHTXLUHG७ ORZHULQJ७ RI७ WKH७ ȵRRU७ ७ Q७addition the standard unit required both of the boys to jump into the sidecar This was absolutely a deal breaker as Hershey is getting on in years and does not like to jump Two bites to the rump later Mickey got busy and produced a door A comfortable carpet was next on the list of requests This was merely one of many EHIRUH७+HUVKH७DQG७6SRW७ȴQDOO७JDYH७WKH७rig two tail wags All together the bike
sidecar unit looks much like a 1948 stock HD big twin unit This is very cool We were able to assist Mickey installing a few of the many mods required by the ERV७७7KLV७PDGH७ZLWQHVVLQJ७WKH७ȴUVW७ULGH७a special memory We were also able to convince the boys to force Mickey to join us on our ride to Possum Kingdom State Park near Graham TX I think Mickey HQMRHG७ WKH७ WULS७ DQG७ WKH७ ERV७ GHȴQLWHO७did Our stay in Burleson with Hershey Spot and Mickey was lots of fun for all Mickey had to work the next day so he and the boys rode back home while we settled in for the night
The latest news is that the boys have 3000 miles logged in the MHS Express
Possum Kingdom State Park has over a hundred campsites About 3 were occupied when we arrived The park overlooks a lake The campsites have water and electric We chose Possum Kingdom because we had stopped in Wausau FL when passing through the Florida panhandle Wausau is the home of the Possum festival That is no joke Sometimes everything just goes your way That night the stars were highly visible The planets as well especially Mars was very brilliant Janie and I VKDUHG७ D७ VPDOO७ FDPSȴUH७ ZLWK७ VXɚFLHQW७moonlight to make it a perfect night

One news item that caught my eye was a transportation bill that is being attempted to be fast tracked by the White House I would encourage you to pay close attention to this bill I canrsquot believe some egg-head came up with this acronym for the ldquoGrow America Actrdquo Generating Renewal Opportunity and RUN७ZLWK७$FFHOHUDWHG७0RELOLW७(ɚFLHQF७and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America It is destined to replace MAP-21 When you read it on the surface you think ldquoWell thatrsquos not a bad ideardquo to have safer bridges and roads and more public transportation But as you read deeper you start to wonder about comments that will allow DOT more absolute power One little sentence I found tucked away was ldquoAllows the Department to be more engaged in motorcycle helmet policy discussions in the Statesrdquo Can you sayhelliprdquofederal helmet lawsrdquo There is language that talks about inspection of auto dealerships to see if a vehicle conforms to the federal fuel standards and that they could impound vehicles right off car lots for the sole purpose of checking the conformability of the vehicle Then there is talk about public transportation IE buses bike lanes tunnels bridges and light rail It dawned on me that you need real estate for those so some poor homeland owner may be in for a rude awakening by a knock on the door and the land-grabbing-cops telling you that a train is coming throughhellipnow get out This is a 302 BILLION dollar over 4 years project But wait business ownershelliptherersquos more This tax plan and believe me thatrsquos what it is will be supplementing the current revenue with $150 billion in the form of one-time transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform Irsquom certainly not an expert here but on

Another tid-bit is what information can be gathered from the black boxes (EDR-event data recorders) located in your car and some motorcycles Although Data Boxes could provide lots of valuable information when it comes to crashes and proving fault it also provides information to insurance companies who can raise your rates according to your driving habits How about being taxed on your PLOHDJHఈ७ 7KDW७ SODQ७ LV७ ȵRDWLQJ७ DURXQG७Washington and what better way to do it than a black box sending information back to ldquocentral commandrdquo Hopefully better heads will prevail such as John Hoeven (R-ND) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) They have introduced an amendment to the ldquoDrivers Privacy Actrdquo that adds motorcycles to the language and keeps data the property of the owner of the vehicle private It would take a court order to retrieve the information How novel two members of the two political parties working together to protect the 4th amendment So watch-dogs unite Contact your congress-people be involved Soap box put away
Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed

After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

We seemed to hit it off pretty well and I couldnrsquot place her but she seemed
familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

I hope everyone had a safe 4th of July Mine was great spending the evening on Ft Myers Beach with good friends lots of IRRG७DQG७DQ७$(620(७ȴUHZRUNV७VKRZ
The ride home was perfectnot hot not cold just ldquobiker rightrdquo
Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

I have a question for you riders that haul animals around on the backseat Guess what I just got a dog given to me to keep for a couple of days and itrsquos now been a couple weeks so Irsquove claimed her as my girl Shersquos a big dog Florida Kur or something I have these visions of having her ride on the back seat with me once I get going again I will have a trike and theyrsquore big so there shouldnrsquot be a space problem Where do I learn about having an animal ride with me I wouldnrsquot want Bella to get hurt in any way Irsquom thinking that in the summer time she wouldnrsquot be able to ride be-cause itrsquos too hot right If anyone has some suggestions or info for me please drop me a line at Kruisinwithkatiaolcom or visit me on Facebook Kruisinwith Katihellip Irsquod like to thank my son Derek for bringing this dog into my life itrsquos really aiding in my recovery makes me get off my rear and exercise my bad areas more than I would be doing otherwise

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

(This is another report from the road by Clay Douglass as he and his wife make their motorcycle journey from the Florida Keys to Alaska this summer)
Our 287 mile ride from Beaumont to Burleson was perfect A light breeze WHPSV७ LQ७ WKH७ PLG७ ௹ఖV७ OLWWOH७ WUDɚF७ DQG७clear skies made for a great ride Our nephew Mickey was home by the time we arrived Mickey is a machinistengine builder for Reher Morrison Racing Engines in Arlington TX His home has a large yard bordered at the rear by horse pastures Hawks and Kites frequent his back yard Sometimes at head height Mickey is the pet of two canines They are kind to him and treat him well Hershey a very large chocolate Lab and Spot a stout Staffordshire terrier are good natured Both have interesting personalities Hershey is a hulking best friend that is always by your side He would be a handful if provoked Spot has the coloration of a Dalmatian but the shape of a Staffordshire which is similar to the more common Pit Bull Spot has the ldquoJoe Coolrdquo routine down pat Spot has quite a way with the ladies He has a way of holding his head as if he is looking at something off in the distant
At just the right moment he will move one eye and slowly gaze into the eyes of the unsuspecting lady Another heart is stolen Lance Romance has nothing on Spot It has taken Hershey and Spot a lot of time and effort to train Mickey but they have done an excellent job For instance they really donrsquot like being left behind As Mickey had put over 100000 miles on his 2004 Fat Boy by 2009 he tends to ride more than most This being an issue to Hershey and Spot aka ldquothe boysrdquo they instructed Mickey to get busy and come up with a way for them to go for a ride or else Mickey caved quickly and built a 2005 springer soft tail with a Liberty sidecar just for them The boys were pleased with his effort but not WKH७ UHVXOW७ ७ 7KH७ VWDQGDUG७ ȵRRULQJ७ ZDV७too high for Hershey which made it hard for him to stay put in the twisties 7KLV७ UHTXLUHG७ ORZHULQJ७ RI७ WKH७ ȵRRU७ ७ Q७addition the standard unit required both of the boys to jump into the sidecar This was absolutely a deal breaker as Hershey is getting on in years and does not like to jump Two bites to the rump later Mickey got busy and produced a door A comfortable carpet was next on the list of requests This was merely one of many EHIRUH७+HUVKH७DQG७6SRW७ȴQDOO७JDYH७WKH७rig two tail wags All together the bike

Possum Kingdom State Park has over a hundred campsites About 3 were occupied when we arrived The park overlooks a lake The campsites have water and electric We chose Possum Kingdom because we had stopped in Wausau FL when passing through the Florida panhandle Wausau is the home of the Possum festival That is no joke Sometimes everything just goes your way That night the stars were highly visible The planets as well especially Mars was very brilliant Janie and I VKDUHG७ D७ VPDOO७ FDPSȴUH७ ZLWK७ VXɚFLHQW७moonlight to make it a perfect night

One news item that caught my eye was a transportation bill that is being attempted to be fast tracked by the White House I would encourage you to pay close attention to this bill I canrsquot believe some egg-head came up with this acronym for the ldquoGrow America Actrdquo Generating Renewal Opportunity and RUN७ZLWK७$FFHOHUDWHG७0RELOLW७(ɚFLHQF७and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America It is destined to replace MAP-21 When you read it on the surface you think ldquoWell thatrsquos not a bad ideardquo to have safer bridges and roads and more public transportation But as you read deeper you start to wonder about comments that will allow DOT more absolute power One little sentence I found tucked away was ldquoAllows the Department to be more engaged in motorcycle helmet policy discussions in the Statesrdquo Can you sayhelliprdquofederal helmet lawsrdquo There is language that talks about inspection of auto dealerships to see if a vehicle conforms to the federal fuel standards and that they could impound vehicles right off car lots for the sole purpose of checking the conformability of the vehicle Then there is talk about public transportation IE buses bike lanes tunnels bridges and light rail It dawned on me that you need real estate for those so some poor homeland owner may be in for a rude awakening by a knock on the door and the land-grabbing-cops telling you that a train is coming throughhellipnow get out This is a 302 BILLION dollar over 4 years project But wait business ownershelliptherersquos more This tax plan and believe me thatrsquos what it is will be supplementing the current revenue with $150 billion in the form of one-time transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform Irsquom certainly not an expert here but on

Another tid-bit is what information can be gathered from the black boxes (EDR-event data recorders) located in your car and some motorcycles Although Data Boxes could provide lots of valuable information when it comes to crashes and proving fault it also provides information to insurance companies who can raise your rates according to your driving habits How about being taxed on your PLOHDJHఈ७ 7KDW७ SODQ७ LV७ ȵRDWLQJ७ DURXQG७Washington and what better way to do it than a black box sending information back to ldquocentral commandrdquo Hopefully better heads will prevail such as John Hoeven (R-ND) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) They have introduced an amendment to the ldquoDrivers Privacy Actrdquo that adds motorcycles to the language and keeps data the property of the owner of the vehicle private It would take a court order to retrieve the information How novel two members of the two political parties working together to protect the 4th amendment So watch-dogs unite Contact your congress-people be involved Soap box put away
Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed

After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

We seemed to hit it off pretty well and I couldnrsquot place her but she seemed
familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

The ride home was perfectnot hot not cold just ldquobiker rightrdquo
Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

One news item that caught my eye was a transportation bill that is being attempted to be fast tracked by the White House I would encourage you to pay close attention to this bill I canrsquot believe some egg-head came up with this acronym for the ldquoGrow America Actrdquo Generating Renewal Opportunity and RUN७ZLWK७$FFHOHUDWHG७0RELOLW७(ɚFLHQF७and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America It is destined to replace MAP-21 When you read it on the surface you think ldquoWell thatrsquos not a bad ideardquo to have safer bridges and roads and more public transportation But as you read deeper you start to wonder about comments that will allow DOT more absolute power One little sentence I found tucked away was ldquoAllows the Department to be more engaged in motorcycle helmet policy discussions in the Statesrdquo Can you sayhelliprdquofederal helmet lawsrdquo There is language that talks about inspection of auto dealerships to see if a vehicle conforms to the federal fuel standards and that they could impound vehicles right off car lots for the sole purpose of checking the conformability of the vehicle Then there is talk about public transportation IE buses bike lanes tunnels bridges and light rail It dawned on me that you need real estate for those so some poor homeland owner may be in for a rude awakening by a knock on the door and the land-grabbing-cops telling you that a train is coming throughhellipnow get out This is a 302 BILLION dollar over 4 years project But wait business ownershelliptherersquos more This tax plan and believe me thatrsquos what it is will be supplementing the current revenue with $150 billion in the form of one-time transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform Irsquom certainly not an expert here but on
the surface the pro-growth reform looks JRRG७ ఖP७ MXVW७ WULQJ७ WR७ ȴJXUH७ RXW७ ZK७$150 billion is being sucked out of that program
Another tid-bit is what information can be gathered from the black boxes (EDR-event data recorders) located in your car and some motorcycles Although Data Boxes could provide lots of valuable information when it comes to crashes and proving fault it also provides information to insurance companies who can raise your rates according to your driving habits How about being taxed on your PLOHDJHఈ७ 7KDW७ SODQ७ LV७ ȵRDWLQJ७ DURXQG७Washington and what better way to do it than a black box sending information back to ldquocentral commandrdquo Hopefully better heads will prevail such as John Hoeven (R-ND) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) They have introduced an amendment to the ldquoDrivers Privacy Actrdquo that adds motorcycles to the language and keeps data the property of the owner of the vehicle private It would take a court order to retrieve the information How novel two members of the two political parties working together to protect the 4th amendment So watch-dogs unite Contact your congress-people be involved Soap box put away
Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great
Here is the Florida Vehicle Code 316220 regarding headlights on motor vehicleshellip316220
Headlamps on motor vehiclesmdash(1) Every motor vehicle shall be
equipped with at least two headlamps with at least one on each side of the front of the motor vehicle and shall comply with the requirements and limitations set forth in this chapter and shall show a white

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed
endo over a jump where I hung onto WKH७ KDQGOHEDUV७ DQG७ ȵHZ७ DERXW७ ௹७ IHHW७with the bike and about another 30 feet without the bike After rolling through a ditch and bouncing to my feet I walked back to the bike which was still running and reached down to hit the kill switch when I realized that my arm and shoulder did not work Fortunately I somehow survived my biker youth
After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

WASHINGTON ndash July 7 2014 - New burial regulations effective today will now allow the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to automatically pay the maximum amount allowable under law to most eligible surviving VSRXVHV७PRUH७TXLFNO७DQG७HɚFLHQWO७ZLWKRXW७the need for a written application
Under former regulations VA paid burial EHQHȴWV७ RQ७ D७ UHLPEXUVHPHQW७ EDVLV७ ZKLFK७required survivors to submit receipts for relatively small one-time payments that VA generally paid at the maximum amount permitted by law

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

One news item that caught my eye was a transportation bill that is being attempted to be fast tracked by the White House I would encourage you to pay close attention to this bill I canrsquot believe some egg-head came up with this acronym for the ldquoGrow America Actrdquo Generating Renewal Opportunity and RUN७ZLWK७$FFHOHUDWHG७0RELOLW७(ɚFLHQF७and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America It is destined to replace MAP-21 When you read it on the surface you think ldquoWell thatrsquos not a bad ideardquo to have safer bridges and roads and more public transportation But as you read deeper you start to wonder about comments that will allow DOT more absolute power One little sentence I found tucked away was ldquoAllows the Department to be more engaged in motorcycle helmet policy discussions in the Statesrdquo Can you sayhelliprdquofederal helmet lawsrdquo There is language that talks about inspection of auto dealerships to see if a vehicle conforms to the federal fuel standards and that they could impound vehicles right off car lots for the sole purpose of checking the conformability of the vehicle Then there is talk about public transportation IE buses bike lanes tunnels bridges and light rail It dawned on me that you need real estate for those so some poor homeland owner may be in for a rude awakening by a knock on the door and the land-grabbing-cops telling you that a train is coming throughhellipnow get out This is a 302 BILLION dollar over 4 years project But wait business ownershelliptherersquos more This tax plan and believe me thatrsquos what it is will be supplementing the current revenue with $150 billion in the form of one-time transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform Irsquom certainly not an expert here but on
the surface the pro-growth reform looks JRRG७ ఖP७ MXVW७ WULQJ७ WR७ ȴJXUH७ RXW७ ZK७$150 billion is being sucked out of that program
Another tid-bit is what information can be gathered from the black boxes (EDR-event data recorders) located in your car and some motorcycles Although Data Boxes could provide lots of valuable information when it comes to crashes and proving fault it also provides information to insurance companies who can raise your rates according to your driving habits How about being taxed on your PLOHDJHఈ७ 7KDW७ SODQ७ LV७ ȵRDWLQJ७ DURXQG७Washington and what better way to do it than a black box sending information back to ldquocentral commandrdquo Hopefully better heads will prevail such as John Hoeven (R-ND) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) They have introduced an amendment to the ldquoDrivers Privacy Actrdquo that adds motorcycles to the language and keeps data the property of the owner of the vehicle private It would take a court order to retrieve the information How novel two members of the two political parties working together to protect the 4th amendment So watch-dogs unite Contact your congress-people be involved Soap box put away
Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed

After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

One news item that caught my eye was a transportation bill that is being attempted to be fast tracked by the White House I would encourage you to pay close attention to this bill I canrsquot believe some egg-head came up with this acronym for the ldquoGrow America Actrdquo Generating Renewal Opportunity and RUN७ZLWK७$FFHOHUDWHG७0RELOLW७(ɚFLHQF७and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America It is destined to replace MAP-21 When you read it on the surface you think ldquoWell thatrsquos not a bad ideardquo to have safer bridges and roads and more public transportation But as you read deeper you start to wonder about comments that will allow DOT more absolute power One little sentence I found tucked away was ldquoAllows the Department to be more engaged in motorcycle helmet policy discussions in the Statesrdquo Can you sayhelliprdquofederal helmet lawsrdquo There is language that talks about inspection of auto dealerships to see if a vehicle conforms to the federal fuel standards and that they could impound vehicles right off car lots for the sole purpose of checking the conformability of the vehicle Then there is talk about public transportation IE buses bike lanes tunnels bridges and light rail It dawned on me that you need real estate for those so some poor homeland owner may be in for a rude awakening by a knock on the door and the land-grabbing-cops telling you that a train is coming throughhellipnow get out This is a 302 BILLION dollar over 4 years project But wait business ownershelliptherersquos more This tax plan and believe me thatrsquos what it is will be supplementing the current revenue with $150 billion in the form of one-time transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform Irsquom certainly not an expert here but on

Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed
endo over a jump where I hung onto WKH७ KDQGOHEDUV७ DQG७ ȵHZ७ DERXW७ ௹७ IHHW७with the bike and about another 30 feet without the bike After rolling through a ditch and bouncing to my feet I walked back to the bike which was still running and reached down to hit the kill switch when I realized that my arm and shoulder did not work Fortunately I somehow survived my biker youth
After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

Yes itrsquos true I was MIA last month but I survived almost 3 weeks of bronchial problems and some kind of stomach infection As riders you know I have to be really down when even ldquoAngelrdquo couldnrsquot OXUH७PH७WR७WKH७JDUDJH७WR७ȴUH७KHU७XS७DQG७ldquogo for a riderdquo Thank you to all who sent messages emails and calls wishing me a speedy recovery I was told thatrsquos what friends are for Ok I got it

The ride home was perfectnot hot not cold just ldquobiker rightrdquo
Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

One news item that caught my eye was a transportation bill that is being attempted to be fast tracked by the White House I would encourage you to pay close attention to this bill I canrsquot believe some egg-head came up with this acronym for the ldquoGrow America Actrdquo Generating Renewal Opportunity and RUN७ZLWK७$FFHOHUDWHG७0RELOLW७(ɚFLHQF७and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America It is destined to replace MAP-21 When you read it on the surface you think ldquoWell thatrsquos not a bad ideardquo to have safer bridges and roads and more public transportation But as you read deeper you start to wonder about comments that will allow DOT more absolute power One little sentence I found tucked away was ldquoAllows the Department to be more engaged in motorcycle helmet policy discussions in the Statesrdquo Can you sayhelliprdquofederal helmet lawsrdquo There is language that talks about inspection of auto dealerships to see if a vehicle conforms to the federal fuel standards and that they could impound vehicles right off car lots for the sole purpose of checking the conformability of the vehicle Then there is talk about public transportation IE buses bike lanes tunnels bridges and light rail It dawned on me that you need real estate for those so some poor homeland owner may be in for a rude awakening by a knock on the door and the land-grabbing-cops telling you that a train is coming throughhellipnow get out This is a 302 BILLION dollar over 4 years project But wait business ownershelliptherersquos more This tax plan and believe me thatrsquos what it is will be supplementing the current revenue with $150 billion in the form of one-time transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform Irsquom certainly not an expert here but on

Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed
endo over a jump where I hung onto WKH७ KDQGOHEDUV७ DQG७ ȵHZ७ DERXW७ ௹७ IHHW७with the bike and about another 30 feet without the bike After rolling through a ditch and bouncing to my feet I walked back to the bike which was still running and reached down to hit the kill switch when I realized that my arm and shoulder did not work Fortunately I somehow survived my biker youth
After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

One news item that caught my eye was a transportation bill that is being attempted to be fast tracked by the White House I would encourage you to pay close attention to this bill I canrsquot believe some egg-head came up with this acronym for the ldquoGrow America Actrdquo Generating Renewal Opportunity and RUN७ZLWK७$FFHOHUDWHG७0RELOLW७(ɚFLHQF७and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America It is destined to replace MAP-21 When you read it on the surface you think ldquoWell thatrsquos not a bad ideardquo to have safer bridges and roads and more public transportation But as you read deeper you start to wonder about comments that will allow DOT more absolute power One little sentence I found tucked away was ldquoAllows the Department to be more engaged in motorcycle helmet policy discussions in the Statesrdquo Can you sayhelliprdquofederal helmet lawsrdquo There is language that talks about inspection of auto dealerships to see if a vehicle conforms to the federal fuel standards and that they could impound vehicles right off car lots for the sole purpose of checking the conformability of the vehicle Then there is talk about public transportation IE buses bike lanes tunnels bridges and light rail It dawned on me that you need real estate for those so some poor homeland owner may be in for a rude awakening by a knock on the door and the land-grabbing-cops telling you that a train is coming throughhellipnow get out This is a 302 BILLION dollar over 4 years project But wait business ownershelliptherersquos more This tax plan and believe me thatrsquos what it is will be supplementing the current revenue with $150 billion in the form of one-time transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform Irsquom certainly not an expert here but on

Another tid-bit is what information can be gathered from the black boxes (EDR-event data recorders) located in your car and some motorcycles Although Data Boxes could provide lots of valuable information when it comes to crashes and proving fault it also provides information to insurance companies who can raise your rates according to your driving habits How about being taxed on your PLOHDJHఈ७ 7KDW७ SODQ७ LV७ ȵRDWLQJ७ DURXQG७Washington and what better way to do it than a black box sending information back to ldquocentral commandrdquo Hopefully better heads will prevail such as John Hoeven (R-ND) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) They have introduced an amendment to the ldquoDrivers Privacy Actrdquo that adds motorcycles to the language and keeps data the property of the owner of the vehicle private It would take a court order to retrieve the information How novel two members of the two political parties working together to protect the 4th amendment So watch-dogs unite Contact your congress-people be involved Soap box put away
Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed
endo over a jump where I hung onto WKH७ KDQGOHEDUV७ DQG७ ȵHZ७ DERXW७ ௹७ IHHW७with the bike and about another 30 feet without the bike After rolling through a ditch and bouncing to my feet I walked back to the bike which was still running and reached down to hit the kill switch when I realized that my arm and shoulder did not work Fortunately I somehow survived my biker youth
After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

One news item that caught my eye was a transportation bill that is being attempted to be fast tracked by the White House I would encourage you to pay close attention to this bill I canrsquot believe some egg-head came up with this acronym for the ldquoGrow America Actrdquo Generating Renewal Opportunity and RUN७ZLWK७$FFHOHUDWHG७0RELOLW७(ɚFLHQF७and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America It is destined to replace MAP-21 When you read it on the surface you think ldquoWell thatrsquos not a bad ideardquo to have safer bridges and roads and more public transportation But as you read deeper you start to wonder about comments that will allow DOT more absolute power One little sentence I found tucked away was ldquoAllows the Department to be more engaged in motorcycle helmet policy discussions in the Statesrdquo Can you sayhelliprdquofederal helmet lawsrdquo There is language that talks about inspection of auto dealerships to see if a vehicle conforms to the federal fuel standards and that they could impound vehicles right off car lots for the sole purpose of checking the conformability of the vehicle Then there is talk about public transportation IE buses bike lanes tunnels bridges and light rail It dawned on me that you need real estate for those so some poor homeland owner may be in for a rude awakening by a knock on the door and the land-grabbing-cops telling you that a train is coming throughhellipnow get out This is a 302 BILLION dollar over 4 years project But wait business ownershelliptherersquos more This tax plan and believe me thatrsquos what it is will be supplementing the current revenue with $150 billion in the form of one-time transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform Irsquom certainly not an expert here but on

Another tid-bit is what information can be gathered from the black boxes (EDR-event data recorders) located in your car and some motorcycles Although Data Boxes could provide lots of valuable information when it comes to crashes and proving fault it also provides information to insurance companies who can raise your rates according to your driving habits How about being taxed on your PLOHDJHఈ७ 7KDW७ SODQ७ LV७ ȵRDWLQJ७ DURXQG७Washington and what better way to do it than a black box sending information back to ldquocentral commandrdquo Hopefully better heads will prevail such as John Hoeven (R-ND) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) They have introduced an amendment to the ldquoDrivers Privacy Actrdquo that adds motorcycles to the language and keeps data the property of the owner of the vehicle private It would take a court order to retrieve the information How novel two members of the two political parties working together to protect the 4th amendment So watch-dogs unite Contact your congress-people be involved Soap box put away
Once again a spirited debated was made over the use of HID lights Are they legal in Florida If you read the law they are Where the law generalizes is the term that original equipment cannot be changed However if you have your head lamps properly aimed so they DUH७ QRW७ EOLQGLQJ७ RQFRPLQJ७ WUDɚF७ DQG७they are white light you shouldnrsquot have any problems The color is usually the reason vehicles get pulled over Yellow headlights are not permitted The blue lights that everyone claims are pure white doesnrsquot cut it either Just run white and you should be ok I installed a white LED headlight bulb and it works great

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed
endo over a jump where I hung onto WKH७ KDQGOHEDUV७ DQG७ ȵHZ७ DERXW७ ௹७ IHHW७with the bike and about another 30 feet without the bike After rolling through a ditch and bouncing to my feet I walked back to the bike which was still running and reached down to hit the kill switch when I realized that my arm and shoulder did not work Fortunately I somehow survived my biker youth
After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed
endo over a jump where I hung onto WKH७ KDQGOHEDUV७ DQG७ ȵHZ७ DERXW७ ௹७ IHHW७with the bike and about another 30 feet without the bike After rolling through a ditch and bouncing to my feet I walked back to the bike which was still running and reached down to hit the kill switch when I realized that my arm and shoulder did not work Fortunately I somehow survived my biker youth
After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed
endo over a jump where I hung onto WKH७ KDQGOHEDUV७ DQG७ ȵHZ७ DERXW७ ௹७ IHHW७with the bike and about another 30 feet without the bike After rolling through a ditch and bouncing to my feet I walked back to the bike which was still running and reached down to hit the kill switch when I realized that my arm and shoulder did not work Fortunately I somehow survived my biker youth
After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

We seemed to hit it off pretty well and I couldnrsquot place her but she seemed
familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed

After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

We seemed to hit it off pretty well and I couldnrsquot place her but she seemed
familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

I hope everyone had a safe 4th of July Mine was great spending the evening on Ft Myers Beach with good friends lots of IRRG७DQG७DQ७$(620(७ȴUHZRUNV७VKRZ
The ride home was perfectnot hot not cold just ldquobiker rightrdquo
Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

I have a question for you riders that haul animals around on the backseat Guess what I just got a dog given to me to keep for a couple of days and itrsquos now been a couple weeks so Irsquove claimed her as my girl Shersquos a big dog Florida Kur or something I have these visions of having her ride on the back seat with me once I get going again I will have a trike and theyrsquore big so there shouldnrsquot be a space problem Where do I learn about having an animal ride with me I wouldnrsquot want Bella to get hurt in any way Irsquom thinking that in the summer time she wouldnrsquot be able to ride be-cause itrsquos too hot right If anyone has some suggestions or info for me please drop me a line at Kruisinwithkatiaolcom or visit me on Facebook Kruisinwith Katihellip Irsquod like to thank my son Derek for bringing this dog into my life itrsquos really aiding in my recovery makes me get off my rear and exercise my bad areas more than I would be doing otherwise

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)

After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

I hope everyone had a safe 4th of July Mine was great spending the evening on Ft Myers Beach with good friends lots of IRRG७DQG७DQ७$(620(७ȴUHZRUNV७VKRZ
The ride home was perfectnot hot not cold just ldquobiker rightrdquo
Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)

After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

drive to his house in Shawboro North Carolina near Elizabeth City and pick up a 1989 Sportster 883 4-speed Then I am going to ride this 883 back to Florida which is right at 800 miles if I ride I-95 but I am taking hwy 17 down along the coast and adding a few miles When I mentioned this to some of the pelicans at Gulf Coast HD they said that I should invest in that ldquoMonkey-buttrdquo stuff When I mentioned some of those other trips I was asked how old I was when I did that Does that really matter Wersquoll see Since I have a very hard head to go with my hard a$$ I am still looking forward to a great trip and maybe even a new ldquobikerrdquo adventure

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

We seemed to hit it off pretty well and I couldnrsquot place her but she seemed
familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

I hope everyone had a safe 4th of July Mine was great spending the evening on Ft Myers Beach with good friends lots of IRRG७DQG७DQ७$(620(७ȴUHZRUNV७VKRZ
The ride home was perfectnot hot not cold just ldquobiker rightrdquo
Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

Motorcycle Insurance - 101 By Leslie Kay
A motorcycle is a significant investment Before you head out on the highway you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and yoursquore properly covered
Riding a motorcycle is very different than driving a car Riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different too
Here are some tips Update your Policy Verify that all your
coverage is in force When riding season starts if you are a ldquoSnow Birdrdquo make sure you are not using a winter lay-away program that will restrict some coverage during specified dates Note any changes such as additional riders or a new garaging address A quick call to your agent or insurance company will ensure coverage that reflects your current needs
Trip Planning Will you be traveling on your bike Canada requires a special identification card and it needs to be requested from your insurance carrier 7 to 10 days minimum in advance of your trip If you want to cross into Canada no proof of insurance could derail your vacation Does
your policy include roadside assistance and Trip interruption coverage What if you break down away from home Make sure you have this valuable coverage and that you know what the limits and limitations are
Liability Coverage If you have significant assets it is to your benefit to carry a higher limit just in case you are involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone elsersquos body or property Also if you have an Umbrella policy in place you may be required by that policy to carry a certain minimum limit of liability on your vehicle policies
Medical Payments Coverage Medical payments coverage pays your medical bills as well as your passengerrsquos and is available in limits up to $2500000 in most states
Make sure custom parts and equipment are covered Additional parts such as chrome accessories a custom paint job decorative LED Lights saddlebags or special rims increase the value of your motorcycle and may not be covered If yoursquove added any custom parts or equipment yoursquoll want to check your policy or call your agent to make sure theyrsquore covered Be sure to
keep your receipts and photos of your bike with the enhancements shown
Know your options Rates can vary so shop around to see if another company offers you a better rate or if you qualify for any discounts If you have comprehensive and collision coverage consider raising your deductibles Doing so can help to lower the cost of your policy
Ask for discounts Anti-Lock Brakes Lo-Jack amp Safety Course discounts may be available to you You could get discounts for multi-cycle and for multi-policy Also having all of your eggs in one basket may not always be the way to get the best rate You may benefit from having your motorcycle insurance with an agent or company that specializes in motorcycle
Notify your agent or company of changes We cannot change your policy via e-mail voice mail text message facebook carrier pigeon or a call from your 3rd cousin We need to talk to you the insured to make changes to your policy Never rely on any electronic media to make changes to your policy It is always best to speak to

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)

After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

Riding a motorcycle means on board storage might not be in abundance Especially if yoursquore
riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

She had a spare in the trunk so I found the jack and changed the tire She said thanks and asked if I was hungry ldquoOf course Irsquom hungryrdquo was my reply She said ldquothen just follow merdquo Her home was only a few minutes down the road and I washed the dirt of off my hands while she put a pork roast with onions potatoes and carrots in the oven When I walked back into the kitchen I sat at the table and she pulled a bottle of chilled Patron from the lsquofridgersquo and poured us both a glass
We seemed to hit it off pretty well and I couldnrsquot place her but she seemed
familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

I hope everyone had a safe 4th of July Mine was great spending the evening on Ft Myers Beach with good friends lots of IRRG७DQG७DQ७$(620(७ȴUHZRUNV७VKRZ
The ride home was perfectnot hot not cold just ldquobiker rightrdquo
Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

By Michael HixsonBeing a ldquobikerrdquo typically means that
you are a non-conformist you enjoy your freedom and love that wind in your hair while riding down a winding road to someplace that serves a great slice of pie OK maybe I like pie Sometimes you are pegged as being a bit wild or maybe even crazy by those who donrsquot understand and by some who do My personal crazy list is out there for some but tame for the really hard-core biker
As a teenager I learned to ride in the dirt and make jumps power slide through turns and became an expert at a move called the ldquoendordquo That happens when you lock your knees and hit a bump DQG७ȵ७RYHU७WKH७KDQGOH७EDUV७7KH७ERWWRP७line is that I learned not to lock my knees (and also how to bounce and roll)
Racing in the dirt became a passion and jumping things just felt good except for the time that I broke my collar-bone What happened was a high speed

After my sisterrsquos wedding I rode a Kawasaki Z1000 from Indiana and down the West Virginia turnpike to Wytheville Virginia with patches of Ice on the road It was so cold that I would stop every so often and place my frozen hands down around the engine to warm up Once I even rode a Suzuki 750 water-cooled bike from Ft Campbell Kentucky through the tail of a tornado on my way to see a girl in Clendenin West Virginia Weather and distance have never been a consideration before

riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

We seemed to hit it off pretty well and I couldnrsquot place her but she seemed
familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

I hope everyone had a safe 4th of July Mine was great spending the evening on Ft Myers Beach with good friends lots of IRRG७DQG७DQ७$(620(७ȴUHZRUNV७VKRZ
The ride home was perfectnot hot not cold just ldquobiker rightrdquo
Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

I hope everyone had a safe 4th of July Mine was great spending the evening on Ft Myers Beach with good friends lots of IRRG७DQG७DQ७$(620(७ȴUHZRUNV७VKRZ
The ride home was perfectnot hot not cold just ldquobiker rightrdquo
Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Kruisinrsquo with KatiOk here it is just because Irsquom not in the
saddle yet doesnrsquot mean I have stopped living Not every second of our life has to be about riding does it I wasnrsquot going to put anything in the mag this month because I havenrsquot been riding but at the last minute I changed my mind Women are allowed to do this right
I have a question for you riders that haul animals around on the backseat Guess what I just got a dog given to me to keep for a couple of days and itrsquos now been a couple weeks so Irsquove claimed her as my girl Shersquos a big dog Florida Kur or something I have these visions of having her ride on the back seat with me once I get going again I will have a trike and theyrsquore big so there shouldnrsquot be a space problem Where do I learn about having an animal ride with me I wouldnrsquot want Bella to get hurt in any way Irsquom thinking that in the summer time she wouldnrsquot be able to ride be-cause itrsquos too hot right If anyone has some suggestions or info for me please drop me a line at Kruisinwithkatiaolcom or visit me on Facebook Kruisinwith Katihellip Irsquod like to thank my son Derek for bringing this dog into my life itrsquos really aiding in my recovery makes me get off my rear and exercise my bad areas more than I would be doing otherwise

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

riding a tricked out custom and absolutely abhor the idea of saddle bags or some other large piece of chunky luggage EHLQJ७Dɚ[HG७ WR७RXU७ VZHHW७ ULGH७7DNLQJ७the bike out and showing it off is one of your favorite pastimes but where do you put your cell phone reading glasses gas and credit cards garage door opener or loose change for the toll booth and if yoursquore a lady all those many combs brushes and cosmetic items that yoursquove JRW७WR७KDYH७ZLWK७RX७DW७DOO७WLPHVఈ७6WXɚQJ७your pockets isnrsquot a good solution You need something thatrsquos functional yet unobtrusive I think Pistol Pockets might be the solution
I recently received the Handle Bar Bag and the T-Bar Bag from them and itrsquos easy to see how useful they can be for those short trips around town going to bike night or hitting a local poker run Each has a zippered opening across the top with a tab that allows you to lock it should you desire The bags are made in the USA in San Diego and constructed of water resistant 600 Denier polyester with a PVC backed material to give it some support The T-Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 7rdquo tall and 175rdquo deep The round Handle Bar Bag is 11rdquo wide by 5rdquo tall and 4rdquo deep
Pistol Pockets Adventure Pockets
and has some additional foam padding Heavy duty webbed straps with Velcro provide secure mounting to the bike Where on the bike I think that depends on your bike The handle bars work well as do some windshield brackets Passenger back rests and highway bars are also options My suggestion is to take some measurements and look at your options for attaching the bags before you order For my bike the Handle Bar Bag works great but my passenger back rest is too narrow for the T-Bar bag

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

She had a spare in the trunk so I found the jack and changed the tire She said thanks and asked if I was hungry ldquoOf course Irsquom hungryrdquo was my reply She said ldquothen just follow merdquo Her home was only a few minutes down the road and I washed the dirt of off my hands while she put a pork roast with onions potatoes and carrots in the oven When I walked back into the kitchen I sat at the table and she pulled a bottle of chilled Patron from the lsquofridgersquo and poured us both a glass
We seemed to hit it off pretty well and I couldnrsquot place her but she seemed
familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

Road Trippinrsquo It Happens Every Summer
wwwgofarmagcom
Opinions are like noses we all got one and theyrsquore all different All a nose basically has to do is hold up your shades There really isnrsquot a best nose It just has to work for you Every summer I get bombarded with the same questions wherersquos the best place to go for a road trip What time of year is best for a road trip Do you have any favorite roads These are opinion questions I canrsquot truthfully answer Like noses it just has to work for you However like noses there are some roads that stand out more than the others
The Appalachian Mountains offers some the best roads on the face of the planet Every thing from the slower laid back 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway packed with its rich historic past to the Twisties in and around Cumberland Falls Kentucky to the thrill of the 318 turns of Dragon Tail and the Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina Just open the map throw a dart and go You canrsquot miss unless you miss the map Do some exploring therersquos more to see and do in the Appalachians then you could experience in a 1000 lifetimes
Michiganrsquos Upper Peninsula US2 traces some of the most spectacular beachfront ULGLQJ७RXఖOO७ȴQG७DQZKHUH७DV७LW७RXWOLQHV७the upper part of Lake Michigan The contrast of the white sandy beaches
and the blue waters of Lake Michigan on your left and the deep green forest on the right is something that only being there can describe US2 also hosts all kinds of cool little towns as it leads you into Wisconsin and across the top of the country The entire 2570 miles of US2 offers something new at every mile At times you are literally within yards from Canada In Williston North Dakota US2 drops down to pick up the Lewis and Clarke Trail which heads you to the southeastern tip of Glacier National Park US2 for sure is a beautiful ride While there take time to head north to the Going To The Sun Road that crosses through Glacier National Park Now thatrsquos a ride
Coming out of Glacier head south to Hamilton Montana to Skalkaho Pass Any road on the map that has a caption warning you to get local info before riding just has to be fantastic and Skalkaho Pass is that Itrsquos 45 miles of the most untamed untouched and wild mountainous country in the lower 48 You are apt to see mountain goats or sheep deer and just possibly a bear or two Just when you think yoursquove seen everything BAM there it is gushing down from high above is a take your breath away waterfall This is not an easy road to ride but for those who choose to itrsquos beyond words
US12 The Northwest Passage Scenic Byway heading west from Missoula is another leg of the Lewis and Clarke Trail that takes you through Idaho into Lewiston Washington This is a stunning easy going 200 mile ride Be sure to top off your tank notta lotta places to get gas Itrsquos a great ride highly recommended
If you love wide open riding Utah is the place for you I canrsquot begin to describe all the great roads in Utah but one of the
most famous is Utah 12 The All American Highway This 120 mile stretch of road has it all Utah 12 connects Bryce Canyon with Capital Reef National park What a ride it is Fair warning make sure you are wide awake and on your toes when you get to the Hogback switchback or yoursquoll be on your back several hundred feet down Utah 12 runs across the Grand Staircase National Monument If I had to choose just one favorite roadway this would be it The grandeur and vastness of the surrounding area will blow you away
The Million Dollar Highway US550 The 24 miles 45 minute stretch of US550 will seem like a lifetime and more like a million miles This is not for the faint hearted With its steep up grades hair pin 5mph turns combined with steep down grades and no shoulder or guard rails itrsquoll keep your heart pounding This is the mother load of highways High up in the San Juan Mountains the Million Dollar Highway is part of the San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway I donrsquot know how scenic it really is all I could do is pretty much watch my front tire scared to death not get to close to the center line for fear of cars drifting across the zipper at each hair pin curve and trying not to drift too close the shoulder I actually think I held my breath for the entire 24 mile trip
There you have it a few of my favorite roads Pick one or two or all and just go

We seemed to hit it off pretty well and I couldnrsquot place her but she seemed
familiar After eating that wonderful roast and drinking just one more glass of Patron I helped her with the dishes and she stepped away for a minute while I was still drying From behind me she asked if I wanted to spend the night After placing the dish towel down on the counter I turned and she was wearing a teddy right off of the pages of the Victoria Secret Catalog and as I began to step toward her there was a loud ringing sound to my right As I reached by instinct for the sound I realized that it was my alarm FORFN७KHQ७WKH७VOHHS७ȴQDOO७ZDV७UXEEHG७from my eyes I discovered that I was still at my brotherrsquos house

Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

I hope everyone had a safe 4th of July Mine was great spending the evening on Ft Myers Beach with good friends lots of IRRG७DQG७DQ७$(620(७ȴUHZRUNV७VKRZ
The ride home was perfectnot hot not cold just ldquobiker rightrdquo
Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

Rollin With Rikki
Yes itrsquos true I was MIA last month but I survived almost 3 weeks of bronchial problems and some kind of stomach infection As riders you know I have to be really down when even ldquoAngelrdquo couldnrsquot OXUH७PH७WR७WKH७JDUDJH७WR७ȴUH७KHU७XS७DQG७ldquogo for a riderdquo Thank you to all who sent messages emails and calls wishing me a speedy recovery I was told thatrsquos what friends are for Ok I got it
I hope everyone had a safe 4th of July Mine was great spending the evening on Ft Myers Beach with good friends lots of IRRG७DQG७DQ७$(620(७ȴUHZRUNV७VKRZ
The ride home was perfectnot hot not cold just ldquobiker rightrdquo
Despite the sickness and of course all the ldquoFlorida Sunshinerdquo thatrsquos been IDOOLQJ७ IURP७ RXU७ VN७ ७ ȴQDOO७ JRW७ WR७ JR७on a nice ride to Arcadia with a couple girlfriends We stopped at a little diner downtown and enjoyed some ldquohome-cooked mealsrdquo Though we were already stuffed I was persuaded to split a piece of their famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Delicious Along with the friendly service and great food it was well worth the ride The sky was looking pretty dark so we started heading back Donta made it home dry but Wendy and I werenrsquot as luckywe were both soaked to the bone before we reached home So goes Florida riding at its best
On a little more serious note in the April 2014 issue I wrote about a young man I had the pleasure of meeting at Ft Myers Bike Night Ethan was a 12 year old young man who arrived on the back of a trike that day escorted by the Lost Riders He was very sweet and had a great sense of humor But he also had been battling brain cancer for almost
2 years But that didnrsquot hold him down He loved bikes cars and everyone he met October 13 2013 he was honored with the title of honorary Marine His mother Maria was also a Marine On July 3rd this courageous young man lost his battle with cancer Thanks to the Marine Corp Leathernecks MC the Patriot Guard Riders the Lost Riders the Latin American Motorcycle Association many close friends and relatives a group from BACA and a special guest from the Pentagon Ethan had probably the largest funeral I have ever attended It was a full military service followed by an Irish Wake More than 150 bikes rode to pay their respect Ethan will be remembered by all Maria has a website on FB called lsquoEthans Journeyrsquo They will soon be launching a foundation to help other children with terminal diagnosis to begin their ldquobucket listsrdquo so they can make memories by marking off as much as they can while they still can Check out the postings
I know I sound like a broken record but I always like to remind everyone to PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS They need our support during the summer as well as the rest of the year Donrsquot forget to mention you saw them in Go For A Ride magazine And as always ride safe and we will see you somewhere on the road

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

What will this thing cost Who knows Since this is not being offered for sale there hasnrsquot been a retail price disclosed And since therersquos no guarantee that the bike will ever actually make it to market we can all take a guess at the number I can tell you that other electric motorcycles which would be in this performance category like the Zero SR and the Brammo Empulse are in the $18K price neighborhood
In recent years Harley-Davidson did what some thought was unthinkable and added liquid cooling to some of the engines in its model lineup And the earth kept on spinning Itrsquos easy to see that the company is taking a forward looking approach to the technology changes that are occurring and looking at how best to incorporate the advances into their business strategy Harley refers to these changes as being UHLQYHQWLRQ७VXFFHVVHV७KLOH७ఖP७FRQȴGHQW७WKRVH७LQWHUQDO७FRPEXVWLRQ७ELNHV७ZLOO७EH७ȴOOLQJ७JDUDJHV७for years to come itrsquos also a good possibility some of us might also be putting in our orders for those leather-braided extension cords as well

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months
The next step was taking the training wheels off the bike and teaching the boy to balance the bike It was amazing how fast he picked it up At four years old this kid was riding a motorcycle all by himself Watching this was also inspirational for me To see a child start a journey that has been such a huge part of my life was something I really enjoyed
Recently the boy started losing interest His dad thought he got scared a few times and that was causing him to not want to ride This was a big issue for us because his dad had already invested a lot of money in gear and a bike Dad also went out and purchased a bike for himself so he could spend some real fatherson time with his boy We tried to inspire the boy by taking him to different tracks We tried to take him to places that were really easy for him to ride so KH७ FRXOG७ JDLQ७ VRPH७ FRQȴGHQFH७ DQG७ KH७would get inspired to ride again No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work He just didnrsquot want to ride
Finding InspirationOver the years I have found a lot
of inspiration from the motocross community I have mentioned in previous articles how inspired I have been by some of the older guys that I ride with It is amazing to see some of these guys ride Seeing a guy in his sixties whip a bike over a triple is really inspiring to me I mean this isnrsquot golf here This is motocross and this guy is still doing it Surely his friends are telling him the same stuff I hear ldquoYoursquore too old to be doing that stuffrdquo I guarantee you the old guys out there are still riding for the same reason I do They love it
Last week his dad gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to go with him and his boy to watch a local fair race We were hoping that seeing a local race would inspire him and he could see how much fun it could be We got to the fair and watched some of the races but the boy still didnrsquot seems that interested
Just before leaving we decided to take a quick walk through the pits to say hi to a few of the local racers we knew While walking through the pits the boy saw one of his school mates all dressed in riding gear He was riding the oil injected class and when they got each otherrsquos attention the young boy came running over to see his buddy Thatrsquos when it happened His friend looked him right in the eye and said ldquowhen are you gonna start racinrdquo In that moment I could see the inspiration we had been trying so hard to instill in the boy come to life His little buddy did what we had been trying so hard to do with one simple sentence You could see his eyes light up and he instantly responded ldquoIrsquom gonna start racing tomorrowrdquo I could see a sense of relief in his fatherrsquos eyes and we just looked at each other and smiled We knew we wouldnrsquot have to push the boy anymore
Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

Forks runs into 158 and I rode it toward 17 in Elizabeth City After a very quick stop for a breakfast sandwich at the local Hardees I continued to ride
At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

By Lowell Anderson Recently a friend of mine has been
trying to get his child to learn to ride 7KH७ȴUVW७WLPH७KH७EURXJKW७WKH७NLG७RYHU७WR७my place for some pointers the boy was still riding with training wheels At only 4 years old he hadnrsquot learned how to ride a bicycle yet but he knew how to control the gas and brake on his little JR dirt bike I watched him ride for a few minutes and then started working with him on some simple drills Stopping between two marks going over some small hills and turning around some twisty corners I thought it was funny how fast I could get him to do some of the drills his father had been trying to get him to try for months

Since then the kids have gotten together a few times to go riding The moments they are sharing together are memories that will surely last forever Like a lot of other kids out there these guys will probably be riding together for many years to come Sharing moments and memories enjoying a sport that I personally love Knowing I helped make that happen also very inspiring

In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride

At 23 miles down the road the bike began to sputter and choke and even quit When I let it set for a minute it would start up and I was able to ride again One mile down the road and it started with the sputtering again This cannot be happening How am I gonnarsquo get to Florida like this There were not a lot of places to pull over with 17 running out through the country like this so when I came upon a ldquoDuckThrurdquo which is like a 7-11 I pulled in to call and let my brother know that I was having a problem
In days gone by I would not have let anything stop me on a ride My younger VHOI७ FRXOG७ KDYH७ ȴ[HG७ WKLV७ SUREOHP७ ZLWK७a gum wrapper a couple of safety pins and some peanut brittle Since I donrsquot have any of that I stopped 53 miles into the trip at an Advanced Auto parts in Edenton NC This bike was acting like it was vapor locking or not getting enough gas so I bought a bucket a funnel and a ७LQFK७SLHFH७RI७IXHO७OLQH७RQ७P७ȴUVW७WULS७WR७the counter
This bike has a petcock so I shut it off and removed the existing fuel line and then attached the new 12 inch piece and pointed it toward the bucket After turning the petcock back to the on SRVLWLRQ७IXHO७ȵRZHG७IUHHO७LQWR७WKH७EXFNHW७No apparent blockage at the tank or the valve When I had about an inch of fuel in the bucket I noticed some black crud like sand at the bottom Ahaa This might have something to do with the problem
Now I was on to something so I removed the entire fuel line and noticed WKDW७WKH७IXHO७ȴOWHU७ORRNHG७EODFN७DQG७IXOO७RI७crud While the tank continued to drain into the bucket I returned to the parts FRXQWHU७ DQG७ ERXJKW७ D७ QHZ७ LQOLQH७ ȴOWHU७some hand towels and a roll of paper towels After cleaning the fuel lines I LQVWDOOHG७WKH७QHZ७ȴOWHU७DQG७UHDWWDFKHG७DW७least at the carburetor end The tank was now empty so I re-attached the petcock end as well
After placing the funnel into the fuel ȴOO७ RSHQLQJ७ ७ SODFHG७ D७ KDQG७ WRZHO७ RYHU७it to catch any sand or crud and poured the fuel back in The crud was heavier
than the fuel so it stayed in the bucket until last and of course I left it out When I turned the petcock back on there were no leaks so I put the bucket funnel and a hand towel in the trash barrel and loaded back up After a few seconds to allow the IXHO७OLQHV७WR७ȴOO७XS७WKH७ELNH७ȴUHG७ULJKW७XS७At least it didnrsquot explode
It has dawned on me that this bike doesnrsquot have a name The girls in the auto parts store were very helpful and really sweet One of them was a Sara and I could use a little sweetness for the rest of this ride so from this day forward the little 883 shall be named Sara Now that Sara was purring like a kitten we headed back south on 17 and stopped only once for gas until we got to the New Bern NC Harley-Davidson shop It is a small dealership and while not unfriendly it was not what I expected from a Harley dealership so Sara and I rode on
Stopping only for gas we rode to Jacksonville NC which is just outside of Camp Lejeune Marine base Somewhere along the way I lost 17 in Wilmington so I set the GPS to go to Myrtle Beach since that is just past Little River The GPS took me to Kure Beach and I was confused since there was no bridge and I was on a little spit of land with a lot of water to cross My swimming skills are pretty good but I am not sure how good with a Harley around my neck The GPS had actually led me to the Fort Fisher ferry boat which crossed the Atlantic behind Bald Head Island and put us off in Southport NC It only cost 3 dollars and Sara and I enjoyed the stiff breeze on the crossing
From Southport we rode north on 211 until we reached 17 again Just over the South Carolina line I reached Little River and started checking gas stations for hot JLUOV७ZLWK७ȵDW७WLUHV७7KHUH७DUH७QR७OHVV७WKDW७5 gas stations just on 17 in Little River No joy Oh well it was a great dream anyway
Myrtle Beach Harley was really crowded so I did not stop There were thousands of bikers in Myrtle Beach so they must have had a rally or something going on Sara and I did stop at a vacant gas station to adjust the chain a little bit There was a rattle when I let off of the throttle so I snugged it up
Once outside of Myrtle Beach we were out in the country and the sun was getting low We did not have any hot sauce along
so I pulled a bandana across my face to block a few bugs Without a windshield and a fairing like I have been used to on the Electra-glide classic I was in the GLUHFW७ OLQH७ RI७ ȴUH७ EXW७ HYHQ७ RYH७ EXJV७arenrsquot half bad with a little hot sauce Instead of riding through Charleston in the dark I rode on 17A and rode by in the swampland until I reached interstate 95 just east of Savannah Ga That is where Sara and I spent the night Not exactly a hammock between two trees like I used to do in my younger days but a $36 a night motel will have to do
At 0630AM Sara and I started again and rode down 95 in a sprint to get home for the last 375 miles The only stops would be for gas After passing Jacksonville and turning right on Hwy 10 and then getting onto Hwy 301 I did stop for a few extra minutes so that Sara could catch her breath and enjoy herself She has never been to Florida before at least not with me Besides I met a girl and WDONHG७ DERXW७ IDPLO७ DQG७ ȴVKLQJ७ D७ ZKLOH७before we said our goodbyes
We rode on through Waldo without getting a ticket and reached I-75 at Gainesville We continued south and turned off onto Hwy 50 at Brooksville and then took 41 down to 52 and turned right onto the home stretch A quick left onto Moon Lake Road and then right at Ridge there was no stopping us now Sara turned left into River Ridge and left again into the Oaks like she knew where she was going We made it home after riding nearly 900 miles part of it on a boat and with only one minor problem with the fuel system along the way This morning Sara is still in the garage sleeping at her new home and I have had a great nightrsquos sleep It is great to be home and I will not soon forget the Little River Dream Ride
