Participate in the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum's New Exhibit
By Bandit | | General Posts
The Sturgis Motorcycle Museum will once again be presenting a new women's exhibit at the Crossroads at the Buffalo Chip Campground. This year's exhibit, called "Through the Years" will highlight some great motorcycling women from the early 1900s through today and you can be a part of making it happen.
Two women from each decade will be chosen to be highlighted. The criteria for this exhibit is that the women who are chosen will not have been highlighted in the previous three exhibits at the museum. "We'll have to look beyond the women who are the most well-known in the industry for this exhibit," said Christine Paige Diers, Executive Director of the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum. "Every woman who has been inducted into the Sturgis Motorcycle Hall of Fame is already highlighted in our current 'Paving the Way: the Women of the Hall of Fame.' In addition, we won't include any of the women we highlighted in our recent 'First Ladies' or 'Motor Maids' exhibits. That means we'll be looking at highlighting women who may not have had quite as much publicity in the past."
As part of building this exhibit, the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum is soliciting help from anyone who wants to participate. If you know of a woman who deserves the recognition that this exhibit will provide, you can email a form to the museum, and the forms will be added to the exhibit. "We really want this exhibit to be inclusive and to truly honor women who have made a difference in motorcycling," said Paige Diers. "We don't pretend to know everyone who is deserving of inclusion, so we want others to help us out." The form, available at www.sturgismuseum.com/assets/file-manager/Through-the-Years-Form.doc will have a space for a photo and a brief paragraph about the woman. Once received, those forms will be added to the exhibit and placed on the walls along with the rest of the highlighted women.
The exhibit will be on display throughout the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally at the Crossroads – a free access area at the Buffalo Chip Campground.
For additional information on the Through the Years exhibit and how you can be a part of it, contact Christine Paige Diers at 605-347-2001 or email Christine@sturgismuseum.com.
THE GOOD BAD AND THE UGLY ON BIKERNET
By Bandit | | General Posts
This is interesting. I recently received a very negative accident report from the straight media. It was unbelievable and tried to compare the United States with various foreign countries. I reached out to the MRF for a response, since I suspected that the material was mostly smoke and mirrors to justify more regulation.
As it turns out I was correct and the MRF straightened out the bullshit. Check this out, then join your local motorcycle rights group or the MRF. We wouldn't be able to ride, if it wasn't for their efforts.
WINDY THURSDAY NEWS ON BIKERNET
By Bandit | | General Posts
It's sorta incredible. I start on this puppy the minute I finish the Sunday Post. I start to collect material from all over the globe, and a couple of brothers make sure I receive anything that moves from newspapers all over the world. Rogue handles that aspect. Then all the marketing guys from the motorcycle industry right down to the promoters of the Long Beach Grand Prix flood me with info from their clients. Some of this material is sorted and shipped to the master of the Bikernet Blog, Ben. Then, of course we cover everything moving around the Bikernet Headquarters.
Thursday morning I complete collecting this material and begin the editing, writing, and image sorting process. Tonight I completed and launched the news at 12:01 a.m. I started at 8:00 this morning. Good night, goddammit.
Indian's Thunder Stroke Is Only The Tip Of The Iceberg
By Bandit | | General Posts
As Indian Motorcycle continues its clever branding campaign for 2013, the motorcycling world awaits with baited breath the return of America's oldest motorcycle name.
Earlier this year, Bikernet told you about the new Thunder Stroke 111 V-twin engine; the mighty heart that will soon beat inside every new Indian motorcycle. Of course no-one has seen a production bike at this time, but if the effort put into styling the Thunder Stroke 111 is any indication, be sure that the new Indians will generate a huge buzz.
Indian Motorcycle's parent company is Polaris, the company that brought you Victory Motorcycles. Rather than going toe-to-toe against another American manufacturer that had all bases covered when is comes to heritage, motorcycle tradition and history, Victory decided to forge ahead with daring styling choices, forward-thinking engineering and ended up conquering the hearts of many riders looking for a different riding experience.
With Indian, Choice is once again to American motorcycles. But this time, Indian Motorcycle sets out to bring the fight to Harley-Davidson. A line is about to be drawn in the sand, and there's no doubt that the challenge will be very exciting.
Stay tuned for more on Indian Motorcycle and in the meantime, enjoy this animated video that will speak to all gearheads.

Klock Werks to exhibit at Big Bike Europe
By Bandit | | General Posts

Brian Klock is coming to Europe! This won't be his first trip to Europe but it will be the first time that dealers and consumers will have been able to see the Klock Werks range of custom Bagger parts and accessories "up close and personal"! The Mitchell, South Dakota specialist is to make his European exhibition debut at Big Bike Europe, and with the small and distinctly European custom 'Bagger' market growing there is opportunity in the European market for branded custom tourer vendors, as riders start to increasingly embrace the FL platform in a touring market traditionally dominated by BMW and Honda in particular. The European 'twist' on touring accessories and customisation places the emphasis very much on ridability "and that suits our product line perfectly" Brian Klock said when deciding to embrace the new show concept. "Real world riding, function and form in equal measure, comfort and utility – that is what the Klock Werks design ethos has always been about and we know from the increasing flow of inquiries we have been getting from Europe that from our patented 'Flare' Windshields to our bolt-on fairings, adjustable, ergonomically correct handlebars, and styling parts such as steel fenders, that European dealers are in search of product solutions that the market there just doesn't have yet," Brian went on to say. |
