REMEMBER..TO..VOTE

 

Don’t mean to offend anyone, but in this politically backwards period in our history where you can’t say SHIT in fear of being called a racist or bigot…

 

This may be my last chance.

 

 

HALLOWEEN COMIN UP

 

Pomona 1/2 Mile

Where has the time gone? Posting stuff on the blog has been a challenge, in fact so much so that thoughts of giving up the cyber garage have crossed my mind.
 Is it me or has life just become more difficult to manage? Eh, who cares. Ride your bike, ride the wind.

I LOVE MOTORCYCLES!!!! LISTEN TO THE UNDERGROUND GARAGE—NOW!

 

I did not take these pictures, but are brought to you by the good folks at MOONEYES.

CAN' YOU BELIEVE IT….SEPTEMBER ?

                                                                          FREE BEER!!

 

THIS WEEKEND!

Enough said, right?

Born Free 4

Had a real good time at the Born Free Show. I can’t believe in this day and age that it’s actually FREE to get in and hang out with all of the crazies. We got a late start (not my fault this time) but we made it in time to feel the energy of the show. It truly is ELECTRIC.

 

We met some very interesting people, including this one guy from Sweden shooting some pictures for GASOLINE MAGAZINE. Although I can’t pronounce his name, (let alone remember it since I lost his info) it was very interesting to know that this little show that started 4 years ago in a parking lot in Orange CA, has grown to 15,000 spectators and participants from all over the globe.

 

The class of bikes it attracts offer everything you can imagine. To bad my camera was left in macro mode for most of the pictures I took, so I can only share with you the one’s that sort of came out clear. At the bottom there is a link to a very cool YouTube video that amplifies what I’m trying to convey here. 

 

 

Can’t wait for Born Free 5

RIDE UP TO NEWCOMB’S RANCH

Newcomb’s is kind of the Rock Store of the San Gabriel Valley, except the road is much nicer. Rigid riders dream..

 

Come on up and hang out. Bring your camera as I’m sure there will be some vintage iron.

 

Be cool on the HWY…Lots or CHP due to the rice rockets taking flight every weekend.

WHAT THE HECK IS THE MOTOR-COMPANY THINKING!

I was catching up on some reading today on the haps in the industry and I ran across this article…

 

Say It Ain’t True! The Motor Company Goes Electric?

Share182

April 1, 2012 | By: Patrick Garvin

It’s finally arrived — the day old school bikers and the HD faithful have feared for decades. The Motor Company has gone electric! Somebody check hell for snow.

That’s right folks, due to a tightening noose strung up by the EPA, along with overall pressure to foist a “greener” company onto the public, The Motor Company is rolling out its first-ever electric bike. And to add insult to injury, they’re debuting this debacle at Sturgis — the mother of all motorcycle rallies.

Most of the rumblings and ruminations over the past few years have been rumors of a liquid-cooled Touring bike, but it’s looking like the research and development staff in Milwaukee has waltzed right past that notion and gone full-bore tree hugger on us with the XL-E.

Details remain sketchy, but here’s what we do know at this stage of the game: The XL-E will be powered by a Hitachi electric motor said to be capable of 100 miles per hour. The battery technology is somewhat of a closely guarded secret with boastings of longer run times than any other electric bike on the market. Currently the maximum range on most electric bike is about 100 miles, Reported claims on the XL-E cite a range in the neighborhood of 250 miles between charges.

A company rep said a major concern is that the V-twin faithful might be turned off by the lack of the patented motor noise and lack of exhaust pipes. Really? You think?

The Motor Company says it has addressed these concerns by adding a hidden subwoofer system that is tucked away in a decorative faux exhaust system that will be linked to the throttle. That way, when you roll into the throttle on the XL-E you will experience the same rumble you get from a gas-powered hog. A full accessory line is expected to follow, including luggage, windshields and interchangeable “exhaust” systems and upgradable engine noise.

Is this the future of bikes coming out of Milwaukee? One insider raised the specter of the entire lineup becoming electric or water-cooled as early as 2018. I can’t wait to throw a leg over this electric beast to see what it has to offer. Stay tuned for a full report from me after the Sturgis launch in August.
