Like many of you I’m accustomed to the routines in life and when August rolls around I’m often thinking about a ride east to immerse myself in all things Sturgis. Not this year. This year success would be defined as a slow and meandering journey, not a specific destination. Sure our group had a general [...]

I’ve had a lapse in concentration. Not only about the All Harley Drag Racing Association (AHDRA), who will bring an exciting race to Oregon this weekend August 27-28th, but you might have noticed the blog posts have become fewer of late. Unfortunately a new job has me fully booked and while I have a number of partially [...]

No, it’s not a new motorcycle club. It’s not even a reference to the 40+ continuous days of 100°+ temperatures in Texas. I’m talking about litigation “heat” for the motor company. Recently a Federal Court Judge has denied a Harley-Davidson motion to dismiss Harley bikers’ claims for fraudulent and unfair business practices, violations of Consumers Legal [...]

Can you feel it? It’s in the air. The annual Sturgis celebration (Black Hills Motorcycle Rally) is in full force. Every year, about this time I get a lot of hits on the blog from previous Sturgis articles I’ve written. Especially the 2008 article about the first shooting in 20 years between the Iron Pigs and HAMC. Last [...]
