HOUSE OF HARLEY 105 CELEBRATION PLANS–I was at a meeting last night at House of Harley in Milwaukee to plan some events for the Harley 105th anniversary celebration. “House” plans to have a theme each day of the event. On the first day (Aug. 27th) the theme will be Honoring Police Officers. 2nd day (Aug. 28th) will be honoring Military and Firefighters. The 3rd day (Aug. 29th) will be honoring Women. On this day they will feature Laura Klock, the fastest woman on a bagger.
Anyway, I thought about you and the fastest Panhead as well as Valerie Thompson
I was thinking there will be a number of celebrities hanging around at House Of Harley as they role out their events and themes. They would make great biker news.

Bertrand’s unique creation “Goodwood” was selected from among 20 master builder entries in the peer-judged competition. Each of the 20 builders voted for their top 5 favorites from the 20 bikes on display and Bertrand accrued the most points. Bertrand who resides in Belgium brought “Goodwood” to the United States not just for the Artistry In Iron competition, but also to compete at the Motorcycle Speed Trials at the Bonneville Salt Flats earlier in September. “I have realized my dream to compete at Bonneville on a show bike,” commented Bertrand. And, then to win Artistry In Iron’s Best of Show as well is fantastic.” Bertrand received $20,000 from Las Vegas BikeFest as well as the Champion’s trophy designed and built by Tribal Motorworks of Traverse City, Michigan. Hot Bike Magazine, sponsor of Artistry In Iron will feature Krugger Motorcycles and “Goodwood” in an upcoming issue. The Las Vegas BikeFest Custom Bike Show sponsored by Tribal Motorworks and Meguiar’s was held on Saturday at Fremont Street Experience. There were over 100 entries in three classes – Radical, Custom and Semi-Custom. Roger Goldammer of Goldammer Cycle Works brought his latest creation “Nortorious” and won the Radical Class. His margin of victory was only one point over Christian Dotson of Dotson Design who had his unique “no forks” motorcycle on display. Goldammer won $5,000 and both Goldammer and Dotson will receive automatic invitations to Artistry In Iron 2008. The Custom class was won by Billy Swope of Reno, Nevada with his ’93 Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic and the Semi-Custom class winner was Stacy Hawkins of Las Vegas, Nevada. Stacy displayed her “Diva Bike”, a 2005 Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe. Special awards were also presented: There were 300 vendors in the Las Vegas BikeFest Vendor Village and 34,408 bikers attended. The next Las Vegas BikeFest will be October 2 – 5, 2008. Las Vegas BikeFest is produced by Las Vegas BikeFest, LLC a joint venture of ConvExx and Full Throttle Events.

ABATE OF CALIFORNIA JUDICIAL FUND– Most of you know about Richard Quigley’s winning battles in the California courts, and his battle lost to lymphoma.The continued success of the remaining four plaintiffs in the injunction against the CHP is crucial for California bikers and could set a precedent for the rest of the country. I have official RIP patches, in memory of Richard Quigley. They are of superb quality, 3 1/2 X 7 inches, with black marrow border and 75% embroidered. All proceeds go to the ABATE of California Judicial Fund to help continue the fight in the courts.

Our second round to Bonneville led to another record in SCTA ranks for Laura and WFB! She was able to do 10 runs over the 141 mark and finally ended with a 146.279 record for the day going into a 10 mph headwind. You know firsthand what that can be like. The Windshield really works! The infamous bagger wobble wasn’t prevalent at all this round, we have a patent pending on the windshield and its time to sell to everyone. The 8″ version works well for a solo rider. The 12″ version works better in a constant passenger, rider situation. Let me know if you are doing any Road Glide stuff as we are very excited to let you try it out! We now have the 180 Tire Kits for Baggers, a complete offering of new front fenders (NO Bondo required- our stampings are that good!), and of course the Double Back headers. Bagger mania is running rampant in the frozen tundra of South Dakota! The Flare Windshields are available through us direct at www.kustombaggers.com or any Drag Specialties dealer. Retail on all sizes and style is $169.95. The bike looks GREAT on the cover of Cycle Source this month, Congrats again to your whole team! –Brian and Laura Klock THE CONDER SAGA–Yesterday I flipped a quarter to see which car to get running…Now, don’t go blabbing to everybody, chances are I’ll run out of money again… Come to think of it, I don’t have any to START with! Here’s how it went…and yes, everything is still for sale AT WHAT IT’S WORTH. Beautiful northern California day…drove down 116 to Sebastipol with this thing hangin’ out the back. …like a GLOVE. My front porch. The other car. …I could swear my porch is starting to lean a bit…must be the camera angle. Pulled ‘er outside, oiled the frame and got everything ready to travel… For the first time in a long time, I flipped a quarter to see which car to finish…It was SATAN. That’s the ONLY TIMEit’s ever been “tails”. Afterward, when we looked at the quarter, it was minted in 2000, which was the year we went toBakersfield and started ATF. I’m scared to DEATH at the thought of driving the car…that’s GOOD I think…maybe it proves I’m still sane! – Fuelers Forever, THE BAG DADDY FROM THE MARTIN BROS–The Bag Daddy , Martin Bros Bikes is Released an all new Bagger Piece , It has back from the dyno with 10.2 HP gain and 9 Ftlbs of torque.

The craftsmen are the guys who can pretty much do anything like Metal fabrication, drawing, engineering, machining, wrenching, and fixing broken parts, painting, bodywork, along with mechanical knowledge etc. I set out to explore the true craftsmen in the motorcycle and automotive culture. Using my Image Fusion technique my goal is to create a portrait of each craftsmen combining a piece of who they are via their unique work.” Topping the list is Jerry Covington of Covington’s Customs. “Jerry has such a unique style for each of his creations, you can see his creative thought in each bike he builds.” Sara states. Also in the line up is Jim Nasi of Jim Nasi Customs, “Jim has been a builder with a vision all his own for quite some time now, his sheet metal work just blows me away” explains Liberte. For something completely off the hook Sara has allowed color to come into play for her portrait of Rick Fairless of Strokers Dallas. “How can you represent Rick Fairless without color, his palette is such an integral part of his work.” Expressed Liberte. Also in the line up is Jimmy Shine from So-Cal Speed shop. “Jimmy and I have been in touch for a few years now, I have not seen a level of craftsmanship from anyone like I have seen from Jimmy Shine.” Liberte stated. Due to several requests to purchase a print of the portraits Builder and Machine is available as a fine art poster print at www.saraliberte.com Sara Liberte also offers limited edition Fine Art Photographs from her Image Fusion; Woman and machine series. The Pittsburgh artist has developed a limited edition run of only 150 prints of each image available in sizes 20″ x 30″ and 16″ x 20″.Sara’s Fine Art prints and signed copies of her book are available on her website at www.saraliberte.com.
