2008 Bike Season Is Here - check out the weather report at www.noaa.gov

Cruising Skyline Drive

I took my bike off the motorcycle jack today so I could ride to the March HOG meeting. It feels awesome to be on two wheels again! Nothing else like it. I wanted to skip the meeting and keep riding, but I didn’t. Went to the meeting and had a great time with my fellow First State HOG members.

I can’t wait to ride again. I’m thinking maybe I’ll ride to work tomorrow.  So I go to check the weather and it doesn’t look good.

According to Road Runner magazine the best tool for checking the weather in the United States is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s website: www.noaa.gov

Harley Davidson Motorcycle Boots

Harley Davidson Motorcycle Boots

I got a good tip tonight that I want to pass on to you folks. A good friend of mine who wishes to remain anonymous told me on the QT that your local Sears department store carries Harley Davidson boots. Don’t let anyone know where you heard that because we HOG members are expected to be loyal to the dealerships. Do me a favor and do something good with the money you save on these boots. Send it to a charity like MAV.

MAV is a grass roots charity for Motorcycle Accident Victims. We need to look out for each other by donating to our own charity and sharing good tips like this!

Here is the link to Sears to do a little online window shopping: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/search_10153_12605?keyword=harley+davidson+boots

 I value your oppinion. If you have any money saving tips like this, please post a comment. Let us know. Share the knowledge!

Mid Atlantic Motorcycle Show 2008 - Timonium, Maryland

2008 Mid Atlantic Motorcycle Show           

Michele Smith

My wife Diana has a very flirtatious picture of herself with the famous custom motorcycle builder Russell Mitchell of Exile Cycle. Last Saturday, February 8th, was payback! I went to the Timonium Motorcycle Show to get my picture taken with the hotter than hot Michele Smith, host of American Thunder. In this case, revenge was SWEEEEET! Of course I had to get permission first.

Superbowl Viagra Commercial Features Motorcyclist with ED

Did anyone catch the motorcyclist in the Viagra commercial? I hope we bikers don’t get a bad rap for not being able to take care of business due to this commercial! At least the dude who needs a little help was not on a Harley. I hope I’m not offending anyone out there with ED.

ICE = In Case of Emergency

I recently received an e-mail from a fellow HOG member here in Delaware with a great idea. Everyone should program their emergency contact phone numbers in their cell phone under ICE which stands for “In Case of Emergency”. Put a blank space in front of ICE so that it is the first number listed. You can have multiple ICE numbers such as ICE1, ICE2, ICE3.

This will help emergency workers contact your family if anything should happen to you. A paramedic came up with this idea.

This tip could be very helpful in an emergency. You should e-mail everyone you know to do this, especially your motorcycle riding brothers and sisters. Please spread the word!

If anyone has additional safety tips of this nature, please post them here under comments.
