A Biker's Prayer

May the sun rise in front of me

May the rain fall behind me

and the wind

follow me

May the angels of my brothers and sisters who have gone before me guard my travels for they know the perils of the road ahead of me

Keep me safe through the city streets on my way to the land of swirling turns and rolling hills

Let the colors of fall keep me warm, let the eagle guide me yo the mountain tops, let the moon's light guide me through the night

May my tires not fail me, nor my engine grow old, may my bike draw life from the streams I pass

Keep my seat soft and my mind sharp, let the air of spring breathe life into my soul to journey to another adventure...

Honda riders beware...! Here cometh the judge.

This is a 2010 Honda shadow RS

A Honda rider decided to travel to Europe by cruise ship and managed to secure passage on the same boat as a bunch of Harley riders.

Midway through the voyage, the ship sank and the rider wound up in a three-man lifeboat with the ship's captain and two of the HD riders.

The captain announced that someone would have to get out. "We'll do it right though," he said.

"The three of you will be given a fair test and the loser will jump out."

Everyone agreed, so the captain turned to one of the Harley riders and asked, "What was the largest ocean liner to sink in the past century?"

"The Titanic." "Right," said the captain.

Turning to the other Harley rider, he asked, "How many people were on the Titanic?" "2463" "That's correct," the captain stated.

Fixing a hard eye on the Honda rider, he then said, "Name 'em."

Harley Davidson Pandead 48

The Original 48

and now in 2010...here is the new model

Features include:

* A rubber-mounted, fuel-injected 1,200cc Evolution V-twin
* A 5-speed transmission
* 16 inch black, laced steel wheels (chrome is optional), with chopped fenders
* A one-piece, 26 inch high solo classic seat
* A low profile handlebar equipped with under-mounted mirrors
* Key blacked-out components

The Forty-Eight is based on the running gear of the Sportster 1200, but with 16” balloon tires (both front and rear are 150-section!) and wider-mounted front forks to match.

The front mudguard is a shorty-style guard mounted on a fork brace, and the rear mudguard is cut-down too.

As standard the 48 is single-seat with a low height of 710mm, and the indicators also incorporate the rear brake lights like the Nightster.

The mirrors are mounted under the handlebars for a sleek look, and the engine, air filter cover, hand controls and indicator bodies are finished in black.

Paint options are black, orange or silver.

God versus Harley Davidson

The Harley-Davidson Facts



The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson , died and went to heaven.

At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur. 'Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven.'

Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, ' I want to hang out with God.'

St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God.

God recognized Arthur and commented, 'Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidson motorcycle? '
Arthur said, 'Yeah, that's me...'

God commented: 'Well, what's the big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can't run without a road?

Arthur was a bit embarrassed, but finally spoke, 'Excuse me, but aren't you the inventor of woman?'

God said, 'Ah, yes.'

'Well,' said Arthur, 'professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention !
1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end suspension

2. It chatters constantly at high speeds

3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble about too much

4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust

5. The maintenance costs are outrageous!!!!

'Hmmmmm, you may have some good points there,' replied God, 'hold on.'

God went to his Celestial supercomputer, typed in a few words and waited for the results.

The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.

'Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed,' God said to Arthur, 'but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours'

The Captain America chopper is well-known for
its appearance in the film Easy Rider.

It's perhaps the best-known chopper in the world, and to many, the Captain America bike from the film Easy Rider defines the breed

The bike shown is not a replica; it is one of two identical choppers originally built by Cliff Vaughn for use in Easy Rider. This is the one that was wrecked at the end of the film. The other was reportedly stolen, likely sold for parts by a thief unaware of its significance.

After the filming, the wrecked bike was procured by actor Dan Haggerty, who began rebuilding it but never finished. It was then sold, the restoration being completed by Dave Ohrt. The owner, who wishes to remain anonymous, has graciously loaned it to the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa, where it is currently on display.

This example of the Captain America bike started life as a 1951 Harley- Davidson FL. The frame was chromed but is otherwise virtually stock. So is the engine. Added were extended forks, ape-hanger handlebars, upswept fishtail mufflers, "peanut" gas tank, and tall sissy bar, all of which grew to define an early chopper.
