Your motorcycles accompany you on the ship. The cruise enables relaxed friendships to develop and life on board is very informal as we travel on a cargo come passenger ship.
In Namibia we visit the world renowned Etosha Pan and spend an entire day viewing game, farther south we visit the Fish River Canyon which is the second largest in Africa. Here we will experience great riding opportunities as this is a truly arid and desolate country with gravel roads.

AVON TYRE QUESTION/ANSWER OF THE WEEK–Suspension isn’t just about keeping your pants up!If you have a good suspension system it will work with the tires to give you a comfortable ride with a good responsive feel from straight up to full lean.
What many customers don’t realize is that a lot of systems get “sacked out” (read worn-out) in a year or two. When that happens the suspension can’t do it’s job so the tires end up taking a pounding every time you go over a bump in the road. This can cause cracks in the grooves and also wear out a tire prematurely. So do your tires a favor. Ask your dealer to check your suspension system and if it needs replacing do so with a good brand name suspension system. Help your tires feel supported!

FAT CAT PIPES FROM D&D ROAR ON THE 2007 V-RODS– Fort Worth, Texas, November 29, 2006 – D&D Performance Enterprises has completed dyno testing and is shipping the 2007 Fat Cat exhaust pipes and slip-ons for the Harley-Davidson VRSC family of liquid-cooled V-Rod power-cruisers.
The Fat Cat performance pipes are now available for the new 2007 Harley-Davidson 1130cc and 1250cc double-overhead cam, V-Rod engines. There is a Fat Cat performance exhaust pipe for each Harley-Davidson power cruiser including the VRSCAW V-Rod, VRSCD Night Rod, VRSCDX Night Rod Special, VRSCX Screamin’ Eagle and VRSCR Street Rod.
“The VR engine platform produces significant horsepower,” said Dave Rash, President of D&D Performance Enterprises. “Our D&D performance exhaust pipes are designed for enthusiasts to bump the V-Rod power and increase the low end torque. In addition, the design of the pipe offers a racier look as contrasted with the factory pipes.”
The 2-into-1 Fat Cat pipes are manufactured with show chrome and full wrap heat shields, which keep all discoloration from view. Enthusiasts can also select the black ceramic coating option as an alternative to chrome.
The entire line of D&D performance exhaust pipes for the 2007 family of V-Rod Harley-Davidson motorcycles are built with direct fitment that requires no cutting, welding or grinding.
The 2007 Harley-Davidson V-Rod pipes are torture tested on D&D’s state-of-the-art in-house Super Flow Eddy Current Ram Air dynamometer. This is done in combination with the Super Flow Bench and the first in the industry, multi cylinder Lambda Fuel Air Ratio Sensors, which are interfaced with the dynamometer for real time meter and graph analysis. This means that performance is always increased with a D&D exhaust pipe.
The dyno chart and dyno video with audio clip for the Fat Cat style Harley-Davidson performance exhaust pipe is located on the website in the catalog section at www.danddexhaust.com.
THE STEALTH UNDERCOVER REPORT FROM NC–Here we go heading into December, where has the time gone? Wherever it went it passed by too fast!
This weekend STEALTH BIKE WORKS will be at the annual C.B.A. toy run on Sunday. The temps are supposed to cool down but that is o.k., no rain in the forecast. It is always a great time and a great cause. There are a lot of families in the Charlotte area who are touched by this toy run every year and without there would be no Christmas for them.
Here at the shop we keep moving along and we are on the verge of starting our first shop bike. An SBW original. We are all excited about this project. We are going to put our own stamp on this bike.
All I am going to say at this time is that it takes me back to some Dave Mann centerfolds?
You know BIKERNET is a great meeting place for people. When the “YOUR SHOT” section got updated to the Forum, I really hated it, but now I really dig it. I am a big enough person to admit when I was wrong. It has turned into a lot of fun. There is a regular group of people who talk on there and it is almost as if you get to know them personally. To me that is the GREAT thing about BIKERNET, it has always been about the people, the staff, the writers and readers and of course the one and only Mr. so and so. I forget his name.
Hey, I watched the new V-TWIN series last night on Speed T.V. and the interview with Wino Willie was great. Wino was father of the BOOZEFIGHTERS M.C. way back in 1946. Those guys sure knew how to have fun back in those days and he truly loved the lifestyle. You could see it in the twinkle of his eyes and you could hear it in his laugh!
That is a wrap for this week!
Until next week, RIDE!

AUSTRALIAN BIKE SEAT OF THE WEEK– Here is my latest seat for Phatt Choppers here in Australia. Hope all is good.

BIKERNET OPEN TO THE PUBLIC–I want to make one thing perfectly clear. Bikenet is open to everyone in our industry. We enjoy supporting the creative, artistic, wild builders and tame ones. We don?t discriminate, or support one group, club or organization over another one. If it?s newsworthy, from a new product or shop block party, we?ll post it. Just one thing holds us back?rip-offs. If we suspect a company of stealing product designs or ripping-off our readers, we can?t and won?t represent them on Bikernet. We may get the wool pulled over our eyes once in a while, but we keep the vigilance high.
That brings me to the next topic regarding the industry?sales. Rumor has it sales are down. Annually when snow falls sales decrease, so we?re heading into that season. A brother called the other-day and questioned me on this topic for his company, and I told him to draw a line down the center of a piece of paper. On one side of the line list the negative shit, like the weather, the price of gas, the war in Iraq, EPA regs and anything else he could think of.
Then I pointed out the positive aspects of today?s market: More motorcycling acceptance than ever before in history; more publicity and television coverage than ever before; a new population of younger riders; an active baby boomer population (touring bikes); in 1976 we sold over 1.25 million motorcycles in the U.S., we?re just scratching the 1 million a year mark today and Imagine how much the population has grown in 30 years. Bikes are more reliable than ever before; there?s more of a selection than ever before; more accessories and more magazines. In 2007 at least six new magazines are scheduled to be launched. Jesse James will publish two, Garage and West Coast Choppers. Dave Withrow kicked off American Cycle and American Bagger. Of course Primedia quickly launched Bagger and is testing the Girls of HOT BIKE, and there?s more. So look out. We are on the verge of a major motorcycle boom. Hell, next year Bikernet will launch Bikernet Television right here.
Hang on.
Ride Forever,
–Bandit
