Hey,
I asked a question in the Bikernet weekly news about life and our outlook on life. Whether you are young or old, we are actually living in the best of times and should congratulate them (everyone involved) and celebrate every day.
I told my grandson he can wake up beside his girlfriend, make love and think about his next motorcycle or art project. In the past he would need to go immediately hunting to find some food for the day. He might die trying or come back ashamed and empty handed.
But are we more happy and contented now? I am, except with the government. I’m struggling to finish my screenplay and start another lousy selling book. I just love to write.
I promise to be in Bonneville next year or die trying. And changes are headed to Bikernet by the end of the year. So Hang On. You Cantina members are safe.
Let’s hit the news.
CANNONBALL ACTION DAY EIGHT–
Despite early predictions of hot weather and massive breakdowns, the ancient iron ran well on Saturday even though it was hot.
Sweep crews grumbled over the boredom of cruising the back roads looking for people to help and finding none, but were happy that no more than three bikes made the trailer.
The bad news is that just 52 miles out of the evening stop in Pierre, South Dakota everyone’s favorite Indian crashed. The only motorcycle to have competed in all 5 of the Motorcycle Cannonballs, Shinya Kimura’s 1915 Indian Hedstrom, took a tumble when the tire peeled off the clincher rim and sent team rider, Yoshimasa Nimi, off into the ditch.
Neither the bike nor rider fared well, but neither are out permanently and we’re certain Team 80 will ride again. Cannonball medics assessed the rider’s wounds and sent Yoshi to the hospital for an evaluation while Shinya got busy triaging the Indian. As of this writing, Yoshi is a bit battered but will mend and the Hedstrom is in surgery.
Fellow riders stepped up to offer needed parts and support with anything the most beloved team on the Cannonball might need. The hope is to make the miles through the Badlands of South Dakota and Rushmore before the group arrives in Sturgis for a celebration and a day of rest, but Yoshi’s health is the priority. Riders are weary and look forward to getting some laundry done before spending the night it the same bed twice.
Today’s ride is another long one, 294 miles that will include sight seeing and a ceremonial finish on Harley-Davidson Way in downtown Sturgis. Everyone is invited to join the group at they celebrate each other’s victory of overcoming the difficulties thus far.

LOWBROW NEWS–Lowbrow was at Bonneville Speed Week in August racing vintage motorcycles with our friends, check out the coverage here. It is one of our favorite weeks of the year for many reasons.
We set two records, including one where a 1950 650cc Triumph did 180mph. The Triumph ran great, but the drive shaft on Andy’s weed whacker-powered blender snapped from Margarita-fatigue.
What I am trying to say is that we had a stellar time. We couldn’t have enjoyed it more, and we hope you enjoy reading about it as well.
Congratulations! Amazing success with a 650cc Triumph. Well done!–Bandit
BEAR NEWS–Rescuers Use ‘Jaws Of Life’ To Get Bear’s Head Out Of Milk Jug
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Getting a black bear’s head out of a 10-gallon milk jug is tricky business.
The Department of Natural Resources says that it took a conservation officer in northern Minnesota several attempts last week when he and others helped a 150-pound bear out of a tight situation.
Officer Eric Benjamin’s first idea on Friday afteroon was to drill holes in the jug, so the bear could breathe. After that, cooking oil was put on the bear’s head, in hopes that the jug could be slid off.
(credit: DNR)
So, the local firefighters in Roseau were brought in. First, they put down a tarp, and tried to wrestle the jug off.
One of the firefighters, Aaron Rose, was even the local wrestling coach, according to the Grand Forks Herald.
Still, he was no match for the bear, even if it was exhausted from trying to remove the jug himself.
The thought of putting the bear down loomed over the group.
“The last thing I wanted to do was put that bear down,” Benjamin told the Herald, “but there wouldn’t have been any other options if we couldn’t get that can off its head.”
But the firefighters had another idea: heavy machinery.
They used the “jaws of life,” which are typically used to free people from mangled cars, to cut the jug open.
With several people holding the bear down, the jug was pried off the bear’s head.
Once free, the bear took a quick look around before darting off toward the woods.
Inside the jug was a little water and a few leaves. The bear’s rescuers guessed that the animal got his head stuck trying to get a drink during the recent dry spell.
“When we pulled the can off its head and saw how big its head was, it doesn’t even seem like it would even be possible to get its head in there,” Benjamin told the Herald.
The DNR estimates that there’s between 12,000 and 15,000 black bears in Minnesota.
They are the only bear species in the state, and their range covers almost all of northern Minnesota.

WILD NMA REPORT–Pushing Coercion of Motorists to the Edge of Legality.
Two states, Arizona and Virginia, require some measure of due process when issuing photo tickets: To be considered a valid citation, the summons must either be handed directly to the accused by a process server or the target must otherwise acknowledge receipt. Without that proof of being served it can’t be verified to the court that proper notice was given, rendering the ticket unactionable.*
That’s all well and good but when much-treasured ticket revenue is at stake, at least one city in Arizona has taken intimidating tactics to a higher level. Here is the bottom half of a City of Mesa photo ticket received recently by an NMA member. It was dropped at his front doorstep. No personal service, just dump and run.
We draw your attention to some of the threatening language, no doubt intended to scare the named party into contacting the court whereupon receipt is confirmed and the ticket is validated.
At the upper left in red ink:
“To avoid paying the cost of being personally served, you must select one of the options provided in this packet. Select a form, complete the required information on the respective form, sign the form, and return it in the envelope provide before . . .”
The aggressiveness in tone is ratcheted up considerably with the language in the lower box:
“If you do not satisfy this complaint by [date] and the Civil Traffic box is checked, notice is hereby given that if you fail to appear as directed in the complaint, a default judgment will be entered against you, a civil sanction will be imposed, and your license will be suspended.”
If you don’t know that the state supreme court ruled that none of this applies unless receipt of the ticket can be proven you would be hard pressed not to respond, thereby putting yourself right in the crosshairs to pay a costly penalty.
Arizona courts allow municipalities to use coercive language up to a point. Many cities like Mesa walk it right up to the edge — an apt analogy for the Grand Canyon State — hoping that drivers will self identify.
The best compendium we have found on the subject is provided by the R&R Law Group in its Arizona Photo Radar Enforcement Defense Guide. Share this information with everyone you know who drives in-state. The most effective way to thwart intimidating ticketing tactics is by knowing the law.
*Again this is only the case for photo tickets issued within the Arizona and Virginia jurisdictions. All other states that permit the use of red-light and speed cameras don’t care if the ticket finds its proper destination or not. If the citation is issued — whether by mail or folded up as a paper airplane and tossed at your front door — you are on the hook to respond.

QUICK, OPEN THE BIKERNET BAD JOKE LIBRARY–“Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.”
I think my neighbor is stalking me as she’s been Googling my name on her computer. I saw it through my telescope last night.
Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive, double-pane, energy-efficient kind.
Today, I got a call from Home Depot who installed them. The caller complained that the work had been completed a year ago and I still hadn’t paid for them.
Helloooo,……….. just because I’m a Senior Citizen doesn’t mean that I am automatically mentally challenged.
So, I told him just what his fast-talking sales guy told me last year –that these windows would pay for themselves in a year—
Hellooooo? It’s been a year, so they’re paid for, I told him. There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally hung up.

A Range of ELF Lubricants
for High-End Brough Superior Motorcycles
Paris, September 13, 2018 – Under a partnership agreement signed in November 2016, Total Lubrifiants supplies Brough Superior with a range of ELF-brand lubricants assuring optimal performance for the manufacturer’s exclusive makes.
Brough Superior, Rebirth of an Iconic Marque
A man with a passion, George Brough secured his place in history when he founded Brough Superior Motorcycles in Nottingham, England in 1919. Seen as the “Rolls-Royce of motorcycles,”1 the new marque quickly earned a well-deserved reputation for unmatched
performance, exceptionally sophisticated engineering for its time and racing victories.
In 2014, Brough Superior reinvented itself by rolling out the SS100, an elite high-tech motorbike hand-built near Toulouse, France.
Elf and Brough Superior, a World-Class Partnership and Exceptional Products
Buoyed by over 40 years of motorcycle racing experience, the ELF brand is renowned for its continuous pursuit of performance and excellence. These are the reasons that Brough Superior picked Elf as a close partner.
To meet the elite motorcycles’ specific requirements, Elf provides Brough Superior with ELF MODERN MOTORCYCLE OIL 10W-60, a high-performance lubricant that can withstand extreme engine pressures and temperatures, thanks to rigorously selected additives that
prevent even the most minor clutch malfunction while keeping friction just where it needs to be.
Elf has also developed the BROUGH SUPERIOR ELF VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE OIL line, which will give new life to vintage four-stroke machines. With four options to choose from, it is the best product for the total-loss oiling systems used in vintage models.
Mark Upham, CEO and owner of Brough Superior Ltd, said of the partnership: “Oil is an engine’s lifeblood; the biggest future risk would be not getting the right power for our bikes. Elf can help us make better motorcycles and that’s why we’re such big believers in the partnership’s excellence and sustainability.”
Thierry Gourault, Vice President, Automotive Lubricants at Total, added: “Just like Brough Superior, our ELF range was designed to match the ambitions of the brand and deliver outstanding performance. We’re proud to be accompanying Brough Superior on the road to success through this partnership.”

Rebirth of a Classic Shovelhead
https://www.bikernet.com/pages/Rebirth_of_a_Classic_Shovelhead.aspx
I have a ‘75 Superglide. It runs great. When I change the oil I see sludge in the bottom of the tank. Is there a good way to get rid of it? I’ll assume there’s buildup in the rest of the motor, too. I’ve had the bike almost 20 years and would like to keep it another 20. Thanks.
–Soda Lee

Hey Soda, there are a couple of ways to clean an oil tank. You need ti disconnect all the lines and flush it with kerosene. Or take the tank out of the bike and flush it with Kerosene. You can use gasoline, but be careful. For instance, some guys use ball bearings in the tank to break up the crap. You don’t want to do that with gasoline…
Afterwards change your oil filter and check with the Spectro Oil team for a cleaning agent you can run through the engine. I would suggest running a light weight oil through the engine quick, let it warm under no load, then replace it with a solid 50 or 60 weight oil.
Scum in the engine, if the bike is run from time-to-time is not as big a problem as the tank. I will run this past some of the brothers.

HOW HARLEY IS ATTEMPTING TO GROW RIDERS–
Harley is celebrating their 115 anniversary this year and from what we’ve seen so far – it looks like they are on a mission in 2018. It’s no secret that the motorcycle industry as a whole is continually trying to gain new riders, but Harley has caught our interest with their recent plans. Back in July, Harley announced their accelerated strategy to build the next generation of riders globally – they’re calling it, “More Roads to Harley-Davidson”. The plan has three main points – introduce new products, give customers broader access, and create stronger dealers. Let’s unpack this new strategy and see what Harley is up to.
New Products
With a new plan in place, Harley has revealed that they are rolling out new bikes to customers and are extending their leadership in heavyweight motorcycles. The company plans on developing more technology that will interest new riders and keep existing Harley riders engaged and riding longer. They also plan to break into Asia’s emerging motorcycle market by creating an easily-accessible, smaller displacement bike. Last but not least on the new product front, Harley plans on rolling out their first electric motorcycle, LiveWire, which has been recently unveiled – coming in 2019. But Harley isn’t stopping there, they also plan to add lighter, smaller, and more accessible electric models through 2022. We are eager to see how Harley’s dedicated fan-base reacts to the new electric models, and we are also interested to see if all of the additional new models attract more riders.
Broader Access
As a part of this new plan, Harley also announced that they will advance their market delivery approach to meet today’s customer needs. How will they do that? Glad you asked. The company plans to give consumers broader access in three ways: creating high-engagement customer experiences across all retail channels, establishing strategic alliances with global leading e-commerce providers, and forming new retail formats including smaller, more urban storefronts. We can definitely see how this would successfully target a younger generation of riders and we hope it works.
Stronger Dealers
Last, but not least – Harley plans to implement a performance framework that will significantly enhance the strength of their dealer network and the customer service they provide. Harley’s dealer network is crucial to the company’s overall success and we think it’s a wise choice to invest in them.
Harley’s plans sound strong – and we’re all for growing the motorcycle industry as well as new riders, so we hope this new strategy is a huge success for the company. We’re curious to see if other manufacturers will unveil new game plans – only time will tell. Do you think Harley’s revamped strategy will work? Drop us a line in the comments below.

Of course they will work. They always do and Harley will always survive. It’s the code of the West.–Bandit

ORIGIN
IT’S ALL ABOUT HUMAN PASSION—I’m crawling up a ladder 20-feet trying to fix our shop roll-up door. It crapped out the other day. Terrifying. I really should look at a Youtube tech about this.
I’ve ordered no less than three bearings. The third one, hopefully the correct one will arrive tomorrow. Yesterday, I was able to release all the bad shit, and I’m prepped to install the new bearing. I’m excited and the dogs are barking at me. Maybe they’re trying to tell me something.
Hopefully, next week I will find the inspiration, guidance and quiet time to finish the first draft of “Splintered Road.” And I need to write another chapter of the Cantina Series. We need to find out what happened to Sin Wu.
Then I will start on the “World’s Fastest Indian” piece packed fulla history and vintage New Zealand info about Burt Munro. Maybe Mike Pullin will send in another Shovelhead report. I keep waiting to hear from Chris Kranzler about my Sturgis Shovelhead. I hope she’s doing all right.
There’s just a handful of other project boiling on the stove. I’ll report as I can, when the time comes.
In the meantime Ride Free Forever,
