CYRIL HUZE IN ACCIDENT–On May 18, Cyril Huze & team was returning from Myrtle Beach Bike Week to Florida when the shop trailer was fully destroyed in an accident. The accident happened on highway 17, in the city limits of Myrtle Beach. For this reason, many bikers had the opportunity to observe the accident ,and right away, rumors started to fly that Cyril was seriously injured.
As a matter of fact, nobody was injured. The only damage was to the trailer now a memory and to the parts displays (let’s do a fire sale). No bikes were damaged because they were none at this time inside the trailer: luckily, the evening before bikes were given back to their respective owners returning home to New York & New Jersey.
We are safe back in Florida, working on new projects…

ROUTE SET FOR HARLEY-DAVIDSON 100TH ANNIVERSARY PARADE IN MILWAUKEE–MDA Heroes to lead motorcycle parade celebrating Harley-Davidson. With a group of Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) fundraisers leading the way, 10,000 Harley-Davidson motorcycles will parade through the streets of Milwaukee on Saturday, August 30, 2003 to celebrate the Company?s 100th Anniversary.
The Parade will depart at 9 a.m. from the Milwaukee County Zoo (10001 W. Bluemound Road) and ride east on Bluemound, turning to Wisconsin Avenue at 45th Street. Riders will continue east on Wisconsin Avenue to Milwaukee Street, then turn south to Erie Street and into the Italian Community Center and Summerfest parking lots.
The Harley-Davidson Parade of MDA Heroes is made up of those riders who have raised at least $5,300 for MDA prior to July 15, 2003. The $5,300 is equivalent to the funding required for 100 minutes of MDA research. The Parade of MDA Heroes will lead the Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary Parade, which will include representatives from Harley-Davidson dealerships around the world, Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) members in the H.O.G. Chapter Parade of Flags, Harley-Davidson employees, and thousands of Harley-Davidson customers. The lucky Harley riders will have been chosen at random from among those who purchased Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary Celebration tickets prior to May 1, 2003. Parade access is limited to a total of 10,000 motorcycles and riders must have proper credentials to participate.
“The 100th Anniversary Parade is a unique chance for Harley-Davidson to share the excitement of 100 years of great motorcycles and at the same time help support the Muscular Dystrophy Association,” said Harley-Davidson Vice President, Communications Kathleen A. Lawler. ?It?s a tribute to the Harley-Davidson family of riders, enthusiasts, employees, dealers and many others who have helped the Company make this milestone a reality.?
Harley-Davidson had motorcycle parades in Milwaukee for previous anniversary celebrations in 1998 and 1993. On both occasions, the community enthusiastically welcomed the riders making the parades both fun and memorable experiences.
Harley-Davidson is celebrating its 100th Anniversary in 2003 with the largest birthday party the world has ever seen. The Celebration takes place in Milwaukee from Thursday, August 28 through Saturday, August 30, followed by the Party, the event that launches Harley-Davidson into the next century on Sunday, August 31, 2003.
Additional information on the Parade and the Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary is available at www.harley- davidson.com.
THE CRAZYHORSE PAINT JOB OF THE WEEK–This week’s paint job doesn’t have clear coat on it in these photographs,but the flames still rock. It belongs to a guy named Jerry who builtone mean, evil black hardtail. He was a sweetheart of a customer.
Theflames were pinstriped by Mike Monte, best pinstriper in theCharlotte, NC area. Nothing like a sweet set of flames. I can’tpicture anything else on a bike I would own. Now if it would quitraining here I might even be able to ride my very own flamed bike.
BIKERNET LEGAL FILE–A very successful lawyer parked his brand new Lexus in front of the office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a truck came along, too close to the curb, and completely tore off the driver’s door of the Lexus.
The counselor immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialed 911, and it wasn’t more than 5 minutes before a policeman pulled up.
Before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically.
His Lexus, which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter how the body shop tried to make it new again.
After the lawyer finally wound down from his rant, the cop shook his head in disgust and disbelief. “I can’t believe how materialistic you lawyers are,” he said. “You are so focused on your possessions that you neglect the most important things in life.”
How can you say such a thing?” asked the lawyer.
The cop replied, “My God, don’t you even realize that your left arm is missing? It got ripped off when the truck hit you!!!”
My God!” screamed the lawyer.”Where’s my Rolex?”
NEW FROM DAYCO/CARLISLE–The All New Panther Ultra-Cord rear belts are here.
The Ultra-Cord is a strong non-aramid tensile member that doesn?t stretch orshrink, eliminating the need for high initial installation tensions to compensatefor tension decay. This puts less strain on bearings, shafts and other drive components for longer system life. The cords higher tensile strength increaseshorsepower capacity by up to 20 percent.
Ultra-Cord doesn?t absorb moisture, so belts won?t shrink and don?t requirespecial handling or storage. The cord is more stable in use also and as aflexible tensile member, Ultra-Cord improves the overall flex life of any drive.
The parabolic tooth design of the Panther belts, reduces noise, resists jumpingand improves meshing with standard tooth profiles.
A graphite-loaded, self-lubricating, nylon fabric facing provides exceptional resistance to wear and low coefficient.
