V-TWIN WINE REVIEWS–Newsflash! New Reviews of V-Twin Wines by Kens Wine Guide:

Wine Review: This V-Twin Zin motored into second place in our recent blind tasting of Zinfandels. This purple wine opens with a mild cassis and cherry like bouquet. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is round, velvety, easy to drink and has pleasant jammy cherry flavors. The finish is dry, has light tannins, and shows some length. This very food friendly wine would pair nicely with veal medallions or veal marsala. Enjoy – KWGTP

Poker Run Zinfandel:
V-Twin is a player in the Zinfandel market place. This is the third Zin out of 3 we have tried in the last year that we have recommended. This dark ruby wine opens with a mild black current bouquet with a touch of wood and vanilla. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is smooth as silk, well balanced, quite tasty, and has a pleasant blend of black cherry and spice flavors. The finish is dry and nicely extended. The panel felt this wine would pair nicely with pork tenderloin with a brown sage sauce or squab. Enjoy – KWGTP

WALMART WARS–We recently had a personal experience with Walmart. I flew to Alaska to Salmon fish and bought all my gear, food and drinks at Walmart. As I boarded the plane, to fly home, it dawned on me what I just did to the Fairbanks community and local businesses. I screwed them. Did you know that 80 percent of all Walmart products in the U.S. are made in China?

Then we received a report from Buzz Kantor about magazines being kicked off Walmart stands. So now they’re going to control what you read. Did you know that if Walmart was a country they’d have the 8th largest GNP in the world, ahead of Russia.

It comes down to a couple of things. So many folks in business are driven to enhance profits at any cost, without thinking about our country, community, or fellow citizens. We need to think long range and once in a while do the right thing. Chris Callen, the Publisher of the new Cycle Source Magazine wrote Walmart about their practices and they responded with an offer to sell his magazine, which could enhance his circulation as much as 30 percent. He turned them down. He did it for us, for all Americans who struggle to make a living. Read his Walmart report in the Cycle Source and shortly on Bikernet.com

Why can’t we start a chain of coffee shops that sport massive newsstands and carry a gang of magazines, newspapers and paper backs. Hell, they could even have a bank of computers installed with Bikernet on every home page. We’ll call the java stations, The Readers. Whatta ya say. Do we have an investor out there?

MORE ON DENVER BIKER WAR– I just read the article about the Rick Garcia fascist here in Denver. I sent the article to every customer and friend I have who rides. As of January 15th 2008 there will not be a Rocky Mountain Custom Bike in Denver and our money will stay out as well.

This idiot really has a thing about bikes, and what I can’t understand is how an individual has had the ability to have so much power and be so discriminating, and our city allows it. Plain and simple its discrimination and the ordnance isn’t practical or even realistic.

What about the car shows, hotrod shows, the new speed little zipper cars with their beer can exhaust. What’s good for the goose is good for everyone else.

Another beef I want to bring attention too is I have numerous customers who are police officers, who also ride, and not one of their bikes are close to being legal. They laugh and say they aren’t concerned with the new ordnance because their exempt. They stick together and won’t write one another a ticket. What the hell is that?!!!

It just seems to me that we have lost our rights completely here, and it could be coming soon to a city near you.

–Chuck Shortt

The Colorado Confederation of Clubs has been on this case since last Summer. Many of us have appeared on the “BIKER NATION” radio show, done interviews, talked to DPD, etc. It has been written up extensively in many publications, and has been challenged and for the most part shut down by the COC Attorney.

In fact, the first and only case I know of was thrown out by the judge.

Take lessons from how we dealt with this SAME issue years ago in Colorado Springs. we did it intelligently, professionally and QUIETLY and we won! It?s all a matter of record.

THE BAKER PLUS-ONE OIL PAN (P1P) FOR 1993-2008 FL?S:FOR COOLER OIL TO YOUR MOTOR–It?s lucky for ?93-?08 Harley-Davidson FL motorcycles to have an attached oil pan to the transmission, which so happens to be BAKER Drivetrain?s domain. Now BAKER?s renowned aura of dependability can find its way to the motor. The new Plus-One Oil Pan offers to the serious touring rider another way to protect the engine by upgrading the oil pan to something that holds a full quart more. BAKER Drivetrain, bent on riding with peace-of-mind through dependability, developed a larger oil pan that is designed to ensure cooler oil back to the motor.

COOLER
The 10? reduction (our conservative measurement) in engine operating temperature on an 80 degree day certainly helps ? especially if you?ve done anything to your bike to make it run warmer like motor hop-ups, blocking the motor?s air circulation, pulling extra weight, or sitting idle on hot asphalt in a crowded Southern summer bike rally in grid-locked traffic. Measurements by other parties found a 30? drop in temperature. Nonetheless, the P1P will compensate for your abuse.

The P1P keeps overall oil temperature oil cooler by designing more common sense into a simple container. First, it allows more oil to be stored in the system. The extra quart adds 20% more oil that the motor must try to warm up. Ultimately, it takes longer to get to peak temperature as well as keep the peak temperature lower. Next, the feed and return ports are on opposite ends of the pan as opposed to being next to each other. Thirdly, with the P1P the overheated oil is not only forced to dilute and cool as it travels from one end to the other, but the internal baffles on the P1P force it to also mix even further. Lastly, the cooling fins below the pan add additional surface area for the heat to disperse.

BONUS! PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY
Since we were down there, it wasn?t too difficult to include a mounting provision for the Alloy Art TXR FLT swing arm stabilizer that prevents a wobble that many FL riders feel in the turns. We never skip out on the opportunity to offer more performance so we simply added this little provision. The P1P omits the bolt on trans plate and stand-offs that the TXR mounts to by providing its own mounting boss.

STYLE
The Plus-One Oil Pan is available in a cast form with either a polished, black powder coat or silver powder coat that is designed to match your H-D quite well. Also, BAKER knows the potential baggers have to be dressed-up nicely. We know that there are those who insist on the finest of finishes. That?s why we also offer a billet chrome version that is aesthetically perfect for those sticklers of good looks.

DAMN, IT’S BULLEIT WHISKEY TIME–Whatta day, and here’s what I have on tap for the next handful of hours, before I work out and hit it to Bennett’s Performance for a new set of Assalt Weapan throttle cables. We have a whole series of reviews on new biker books that I will launch shortly.

Dan’s Road Glide feature will hit the bricks before we’re out tomorrow. Last weekend was a blast and I hope it comes off half as fun as it was to stumble through two shows worth of segments. One involved my son, who has been clean and sober for three years, is a Deacon of his church and President of the Saints MC, a Christian club. He now curls more than I can. I’m damn proud of him. We interviewed him on the show.

We’ll bring you more reports as the show is edited and launched on Sturgis Rider Live.com and in the Bikernet Studio (now radio) department. Hang on and have a helluva weekend.

Ride Forever,

–Bandit
