This has been hailed as a major breakthrough because women arealways complaining about men staring at their breasts and not listeningto them.
THE LAST KNUCKLE CHOPPER MODEL FROM DON NOWELL–This is the last Knuckle Chopper that will go to the machine guy who is making the Shovel parts.
He wanted the trick paint and chromed frame so the bike is on hold for my new real spoke and nipple front and rear wheels will be done about when the engine parts are finished.
Also some trucks for my display case and the new Shovel parts are coming. Thanks for your tech assistance.

MDA AND HARLEY-DAVIDSON ONLINE AUCTION OFFERS ONE-OF-A-KIND ITEMS–MILWAUKEE (August 21, 2008) — Harley-Davidson and the Muscular Dystrophy Association have teamed up to present an online auction featuring an array of special Harley-Davidson items, with all proceeds benefiting MDA.
The auction will feature 105 collectible and one-of-a-kind items in honor of the Harley-Davidson’s 105th anniversary, and will run August 21 through September 4 in conjunction with MDA’s Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon online auction.
“Harley-Davidson has always gone above and beyond to help my kids,” said MDA National Chairman and Telethon star Jerry Lewis. “This auction is a way to get some fantastic Harley-Davidson items that won’t be available anywhere else in the world — all while helping MDA’s mission. It’s a win-win.”
The auction will help support MDA’s programs of research, services, public information and summer camp, which provides kids with a week of accessible activities such as swimming, horseback riding, fishing and arts and crafts.
Special items up for bid include a Harley-Davidson 105th Anniversary Heritage Softail Classic motorcycle and a 2009 Rocker motorcycle fully accessorized with Genuine Motor Accessories installed by Harley-Davidson technicians live on Main Street at the Lakefront during the company’s 105th anniversary celebration.
Other featured items include a behind-the-scenes tour for four of the recently opened Harley-Davidson Museum, with a two-night stay at the Courtyard by Marriott in downtown Milwaukee; a Fender guitar autographed by the Jonas Brothers, Tim McGraw, and the members of the group Blondie; and a custom-made Harley-Davidson themed Fender Stratocaster guitar. The guitar is one of three Harley-Davidson branded, production-quality prototype guitars: one will be placed in the Fender Museum, one will be placed in the Harley-Davidson Museum and the third will be auctioned to benefit MDA. Bidding on this guitar begins Friday, Aug. 22.
Also featured are a custom-made Harley-Davidson owner’s ring from Jostens, with diamonds and onyx and personalized with the winner’s name; an American flag that was flown over Harley-Davidson’s corporate headquarters; and artwork by Harley-Davidson artists David Uhl and Scott Jacobs.
Since 1980, Harley-Davidson’s family of dealers, customers, employees, suppliers and Harley Owners Group (HOG) chapters have raised more than $65 million for MDA. Every year, Harley-Davidson riders selflessly volunteer their time to visit nearly a hundred MDA summer camps across the country. Riders host barbecues, give sidecar rides, provide temporary tattoos and let thrilled youngsters sit on their motorcycles.
