The Black Velvet Hearse is a desire to provide a unique, memorable, and remarkable service to [...]

Harley’s ABS Braking System

Posted in Harley, Safety, Safety-Conscious, tagged , , , , , on November 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

Here’s an interesting video on the Harley 2008 Anti-Lock braking system. It’s a bit long (8min), but explained in detail.  It’s curious how during wet braking the rider stays upright and they talk about limitations of the system when over braking on corners.  As always the best braking method is “upright”.  Enjoy.

Nothing Compares

The sun, the sand, the sound of waves crashing on the beach – huh?
I took a week+ off from blogging and fully enjoyed vacation in the tropics. I did the entire relax by the pool with SPF-30, read books, caught up on local Oahu news and ordered lots of refreshments with [...]

Saints to Sinners

Posted in Harley, Las Vegas, Transportation, Travel, tagged , , , , on November 27, 2007 | 1 Comment »

Some refer to this desert journey through the darkest corridors of the soul…a ride in the hotbed of temptation and sin…Las Vegas. Nothing compares to the feeling you get pulling onto a wide-open stretch of road in Vegas.
Unfortunately, I was there for the BlogWorld conference and not able to ride. I was even [...]

I like spirited debate and don’t shy away from conflict and this is a bit longer than many of my posts so, I apologize up front for those of you looking for instant gratification.
One topic where the “elephant” in the room needs to be introduced and brought out into the light of day is the [...]

Shine It All Around

A typical November day in the Northwest (when it’s NOT raining) is fog so thick it’s difficult to see across the street and riding when the temperature dips down into the 40s is not my idea of fun. But not today! Nope, today was a post-Halloween treat. We may not be tanned, [...]
