Gear Lubes and Harley Transmissions–Amsoil Series 2000 Gear Lube is recommended for all Harley transmissions as well as all after-market transmissions that require a 75W-90 or 75W140 gear lube.
While it is possible to use the new H-D Syn-3 in the transmission, it is still a motor oil, and therefore does not offer the best additive package designed for the unique requirements of gear to gear applications. Amsoil Series 2000 Gear Lube contains additives that actually bond with and cushion the gear teeth at their contact points to extend the life of the gears as well as enable smoother shifting and lower operating temperature due to reduced friction.
Amsoil recommends using Series 2000 75W-90 in all Harley transmissions, except for Sportsters which call for Series 2000 75W-140, for the absolute best performance and protection. It offers better protection than H-D Semi-Synthetic or Syn-3 and is specially designed for use in transmissions and other gear lube applications. Be sure to use my dealer number ZO 1124190 when you order to ensure that the sale is credited to me.

THE BOOK OF WOMEN RIDING–Living & Riding Free!?By Sasha Mullins, was recently published by Citadel Press, an imprint of Kensington Publishing Corp – August 2003.
“The motorcycle is a glorious mystery that subconsciously and healthfully touches the heart and soul of women everywhere. It transforms us into wind goddesses, powerful and free. The motorcycle is the “freedom machine” from long ago that promoted women’s social and dress reform much to the chagrin of society’s restraining views of the era. Even today this mighty iron horse embodies and celebrates the beauty of our feminine strength and spirit set free. . .
“We are iron Godivas, as we grab life by the handlebars and charge forward on the highways of our purpose-filled destiny to realize our most heartfelt dreams. We are free to be ourselves as God intended each of us, and we discover that inner power in the wind, riding hundreds and thousands of miles, joyously living and riding free!Riding a motorcycle is the ultimate GIRL POWER!?Sasha, author and a bikerlady report in her colorfully passionate book.
“Two wheels and an open road…for Bikerladies. It’s an irresistible call to adventure. The motorcycle embodies freedom, power and seduction. It’s the allure of living life on the edge, of defying every expectation and escaping from the ordinary in a blur of steel horse and leather. And for the growing community of women who love motorcycles, it’s a passion unlike any other, a relationship defined by self-discovery, strength, and joy.”
From Clara Wagner joyously hiking up her skirt to race a motorcycle in 1910 to today?s female celebrities cruising the open roads in a blaze of chrome glory, BIKERLADY delves into the history, the community, the phenomenon, the sport, the dreams, and the pride of all women riders.
In this empowering and inspiring book, renowned motojournalist Sasha Mullins explores the unique sisterhood of bikerladies?old and young, mothers and daughters, sisters, wives, grandmothers, executives, celebrities, artists, teachers, and more who race on a track or ride the endless highways and twisting turns on their own personal journeys of self-expression.

FROM THE BIKERNET PARAMEDIC– Due to a power outage at the time, only one paramedic responded to the call. The house was very, very dark, so the paramedic asked Katelyn, a 3 year old girl, to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby.
Very diligently, Katelyn did as she was asked. Heidi pushed and pushed, and after a little while Connor was born.
The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry. The paramedic then thanked Katelyn for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-year old what she thought about what she had just witnessed.
Katelyn quickly responded, “He shouldn’t have crawled in there in the first place. Smack him again.”
BIKERNET PRODUCT OF THE WEEK–Often mistaken for a Razor scooter when seen for the first time without a rider, the http://www.youcansave.com Trikke immediately sets itself apart when a rider hops on and takes his first few turns away from you. “What makes it move?” and “Where are the Batteries?” are usually the first words to come out of a first time viewer’s mouth. In describing the movement, it is often compared to in-line skating or skiing on pavement because the entire vehicle leans in unison due to it’s finely coordinated cambering mechanism.
Stable and Safe…Because of the three-wheeled stance, the Trikke is extraordinarily stable. Dual rear brakes provide superb braking power. Independently controlled, the brakes also allow for unusual lateral control for trick riding. Rated as the safest vehicle on the road by the Los Angeles Safety Foundation, the Trikke provides unsurpassed safety, control and agility for riders of all sizes and ages. The Trikke 8 is fast and stable for Trikkers young and old wanting speed, and durability.
These wild things are available at Century Motorcycles.

BIKERNET CARIBBEAN REPORT–We have been trying to get all the stuff that needs to be done, well, done. As you read this I will be in Salisbury with the Horse crew and friends at The Smoke Out. Sadly there’s no time to ride, just a quick trip over and a quick flight back. If you make it there make sure to come by and say hi.
Wicho’s bike is done, here’s some photos of the ’52 pan, the ’72 Ironhead that you’ve seen in here before is almost complete. We must press the pedal to the metal since many of the other projects are making the trip to Sturgis this year. We now take photographs of each and every bike as it’s completed, so keep an eye out for them in future issues of the Horse.
We are also writing the Puerto Rican history of bobbers and choppers. I just finished scanning over 100 photos, just one album. There’s lots more investigation to come. I’m having a lot of fun documenting the “history” thing. We will also feature of The Smoke Out as soon as I get back. Like always, Bikernet will have the feature way before anyone, so keep your eyes peeled.
Also I got the chance to do a pretty cool interview, no nonsense on Jesse James for an upcoming issue of Bikernet’s favorite magazine.
I guess with all the chaos going on, I’m really looking forward to the Hawaii trip this July 4th weekend and some well deserved R&R, amongst friends. Kaisers awaits…..
Don’t wanna sound like I’m rushing things and doing a half-ass job on the weekly report. But as mentioned above, there’s a lot to do and not much time to do it. Next week I’ll have a lot more material to rant about.
Have a good week end and see you guys next week….
