Harley Davidson Tattoos – Popular Tattoo Designs
Jan 25th
The Harley Davidson motorcycle and brand is an icon. Harley tattoos are a way of paying tribute to the bike, and connecting with the Harley community. Started by William Harley and Arthur Davidson in 1903 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Harley has become the most popular bike ever built and has legions of proud owners all over the world. The HD has become a way of life, a statement of who you are, a head turner and an escape for so many people.
History of the Harley Brand
The logo brand has also become a proud part of the tradition, and licensing of the logo alone accounts for approximately 5% of the Harley Davidson Motor Companys net profit (based on figures from the 2004 financial report). There is a strong and loyal following of the brand and Chopper style motorcycle, throughout the world.
The motorcycle has evolved a lot over the years. The first production model, in 1905 had a single cylinder 440cc engine. In 1911, a new engine was introduced, with a V-Twin design, with 810ccs. The popularity of the HD motorcycle soared and by 1920 it was the biggest manufacturer in the world.
The company went through some rough patches after the second world war, and changed hands in 1952 and again in 1981.
The release of the “Fat Boy” model in 1990, reinvigorated sales. The company went back to quality parts and away from mass production to differentiate the brand from overseas and other local mass produced bikes. Demand soared again and due to the quality assembly process, it was not uncommon for the waiting list for the most popular models to exceed 12 months.
A museum, dedicated to the HD motorcycle will be opened in Menomonee River Valley in 2008 to honor and celebrate the history of the bike and the brand.
Harley Davidson Tattoo Designs
Associated with the huge success of the HD brand is the logo and other paraphernalia. One of the hottest items in this category is the Harley tattoo. Harley Davidson tattoo designs have evolved over the years, and allows the wearers to pay tribute and provides a connection with a special bike. The tats have many meanings to many people, but the overwhelming meaning is that of belonging. Belonging to the Harley community.
The most popular HD designs are badges incorporating wings and flames, eagles with the Harley logo, pictures of a motorcycle and either slogans, flames or both, patriotic tattoos with the Harley logo, Roses with the logo, hearts and knives with a banner for your slogan to be inserted. These are just a few of the most popular designs.

Killer Spa Covers?
Jan 22nd
How dangerous is an overweight foam Spa Cover? Recently a friend was checking the chemicals in his spa. Rather than attempting removing the entire spa cover, he decided to just lift one side enough to get at the water long enough to get a sample. He bent over and supporting the heavy cover with his left arm while attempting to fill a sampling bottle with water from the spa to check the chemical content, and total alkalinity.
As he leaned over further, the weight of the water logged spa cover dislocated his left shoulder and allowed the cover to hit him on the back knocking him into the spa. He was now face down in the spa with his legs pinned to spa by the weight of the spa cover. His shoulder was dislocated and unlike the Mel Gibson character in Lethal Weapon, he was in agony because of a the pain. He tried to move but could not budge the weight of the waterlogged cover.
He began to choke as he swallowed spa water and tried to rise up but could barely get his head out of the water. With what could have been his last breath, he screamed for help. Fortunately he had left the door from the house to the deck open. His daughter and her boy friend heard the commotion and looked out to see his legs sticking out of the spa cover.
His daughter and her boy friend were able to lift the cover off of his legs. His daughters boy friend jumped into the hot tub and pulled him up from the water. They took him to the emergency room where they put his shoulder back in place and treated him for shock.
Women who have experienced both child birth and a dislocated shoulder report dislocating a shoulder as more intense than childbirth. I do not know about that, I suspect that with child birth you can prepare mentally for the pain and with the shoulder it comes at you unexpectedly. But either way I think we can agree the pain is excruciating.
My friend had owned a hot tub for 12 years and had replaced 3 conventional rigid foam core spa covers. While the life on the foam covers had averaged from 2 to 4 years, regardless of manufactures claims, all the covers became waterlogged. He has since bought a Spa Cover that uses air chambers to insulate rather than rigid foam. He is certain that the air filled spa cover will not try to kill him as the other foam cover did.
A lady friend of ours and her husband were in the hot tub with their rigid foam spa lid propped up against the wall. A gust of wind hit the spa cover and it suddenly fell hitting her husband on the head. The blow was hard enough to push them both under the water. Fortunately they were not trapped and they both recovered quickly, or so they thought.
A couple of days later the left side of her husbands face suddenly went DEAD. He had no feeling, sensation or movement. Naturally they both were quite frightened and thought he had suffered a stroke. They did exactly what any of us would do and rushed immediately to the hospital. The doctor diagnosed him with Bells Palsy which can be caused by stress and or trauma like a heavy spa cover hitting him on the head. He later made a full recovery. He was extremely lucky.
Here is something you will never hear from a foam spa cover dealer. Every year people are injured by foam hot tub covers. Most of the injuries have come from a gust of wind blowing the heavy foam cover onto people as they use their spa. Sometimes people attempting to carefully maneuver a saturated foam cover off their spa, have lost their grip and had the hard foam cover slam down breaking the arch of their foot.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission people have even been drowned when they have become trapped under heavy foam covers. Maybe now is a good time to search for a better spa cover. With the World Wide Web, you can literally have the world to shop from. Do you really want to risk injury or death trying to use your spa?

Spa Covers Gone With The Wind?
Jan 22nd
Where is my spa cover? Ever have to ask yourself this question after a wind storm? I have had people tell me they have found their cover a quarter mile from their home. I do not know how they knew it was their cover. Maybe in some parts of the country people write things on their spa covers to help them recover them after a storm. I suppose you could write, If Found Please Call, on the bottom. Maybe, Hope This Spa Cover Did Not Land On Your Sister.
Personally I think it might be time for a different type of spa cover. I found a posting on a spa cover dealers website claiming that they had several covers that made it through Hurricane Katrina. That is a little like saying there were some calvary survivors after Custers last stand. There is a big difference between having some going undamaged and having no losses.
The question to ask is are they selling anything different? So far I have found stronger straps as their solution. Well you could build a solid roof that attaches to the spa but in case you did not notice solid roofs were flying right off houses. The answer is not stronger tie downs for the wing you use to cover your spa but get rid of the wing.
Find a design that does not offer a rigid surface for the wind to lift on. The reason rigid foam spa covers fly is that they make a good wing. Our armed services fly planes with less aerodynamics than the typical rigid foam spa cover.
What causes a spa cover to fly? When wind comes at the spa, some of it hits the side of the cabinet and has to go around. As the air is pushed around the spa it some of it goes up over. As it breaks over the top of the rigid foam cover it starts a little ripple or swirl action that begins to suck upward on the rigid surface. Like when your riding in a convertible, if you have hair like I used to, it does not blow backward like you expect but forward because of the windshield diverting the air flow. If you had no windshield your hair would be blown straight back. This swirl action pulls the foam cover up off the spa.
It does not need to move it very much, just enough to create enough of a gap for some of the air to get under the cover. The second reason rigid foam spa covers fly is they have a nice air space between them and the water surface they are supposed to be keeping warm. Once air starts to flood into this air space it creates pressure. The air rushing in can not push down on the water so it takes the only thing it can move, the spa cover. Once this action starts it is only a matter of what velocity is required before lift off occurs. The first movement of the flying spa cover is straight up.
The pressure in the space between the water of the spa and the bottom of the cover pops the cover straight up. It takes a lot less force than you might think because it is lifting on the entire bottom area of the rigid foam cover at once. Even a saturated rigid foam spa cover that is too heavy for one person to lift will fly when the air is pushing on the entire bottom surface. Once a heavy spa cover gets airborne watch out because anything it runs into is going to get damaged.
So are these spa cover dealers offing anything different? Are they offering a spa cover that is not designed like a wing? Are they selling a spa cover that does not require straps and truck ratchets to secure it to the spa? I propose looking for a different kind of spa cover.
The internet has put the world at your finger tips. Instead of settling for the same old thing, shop the web for a design that makes sense. Look for a design that does not use a rigid foam board resting across the top of the spa. A better design would rest right on the water surface first because the water is what you intend to keep warm and second because this would remove the void that would build up pressure to pop the cover off. If the flexible and dome shaped rather than flat and rigid it would resist lift and deflect even the strongest winds. If you are tired of worrying about your spa cover every time the wind blows, you owe it to yourself to find a better spa cover.

Honda Dirt Bikes – Everyone Wants a Honda
Jan 19th
There are dirt bikes, and then there are Honda dirt bikes. A Honda represents speed, power and maneuverability (making it obvious why they are the top-sellers). Quality is its ultimate trademark, however, and a Honda dirt bike never fails to please.
And, with a wide range of choices, you are sure to find one tailored for your racing style–whether professional or amateur, you will see and feel the difference of Honda dirt bikes. It’s not just riding or racing; it becomes an experience.
And, to fully enjoy that experience, you should understand all aspects of what makes Honda dirt bikes… well, a Honda dirt bike. Don’t cringe. Some history lessons are worth knowing.
Honda is a name that summons respect in the biking world, though no one would have guessed that from its dubious beginnings and low sales. When Soichiro Honda opened the first store in Los Angeles in 1959, the reception was tepid at best. The American people were already devoted to their Harleys and Triumphs. Honda tried, in vain, for that first year to sell his products, but was only able to come up with 1700 units. The American market
refused to let him in.
Overseas, however, things were different. In Japan, Honda was the number one selling bike (an estimated 500,00 units sold). Throughout Europe, the bikes were starting to win races and garner attention. Honda was the top-player.
But, in America, they were nothing: just funny looking bikes that didn’t seem powerful enough to fit the image motorcycles had crafted.
That was about to change.
Soichiro was not about to give up on the American and decided to change the perceptions linked to bikes. They were no longer for hulking men with beards and dirty leather jackets; they were for anyone who just wanted a ride around town.
Honda began a campaign of happiness, blanketing the market with everyday men and woman riding his bikes, all grinning and cheerful. The result was a new way to look at bikes–Honda’s were seen as the better choice, the every-man choice.
They’ve remained that way ever since.
And the reason they’ve remained on top? They offer great selection and great quality.
Now, if you’re purchasing one of your first Honda dirt bikes, you need to see which part of that great selection works best for you. There are many bikes to choose from and you want to pick perfection. So, first decide what it is you intend to do–are you looking to start racing professionally, or are you just wanting something solid to ride the trails with? Whatever your scenario, there is a Honda dirt bike built for you.

Why it is Important to Wear a Helmet When Riding a Motorcycle
Jan 19th
Benefits of Wearing a Motorcycle Helmet
Helmets:
• Decrease the likelihood of death
• Decrease the severity of injuries
• Reduce the cost of medical care required
The degree your head is injured is significantly reduced when you are wearing a helmet during a motorcycle accident. Helmets are designed to cushion and protect the head from the impact of an accident. A helmet may be the only protection you have if you experience an accident while riding.
DOT Helmet Standards
When purchasing your helmet, make sure that it meets the DOT standards for motorcycle helmets. There should be a DOT label inside the helmet.
DOT-approved helmets have:
• A solid Styrofoam (polystyrene) inside liner which is about an inch thick
• Typically weigh about three pounds
• Strong chinstraps that are firmly riveted to the helmet.
Full-face helmets offer the most protection in a crash. Federal helmet safety standards don’t include spikes or other such protrusions from the helmet.
Your helmet should fit comfortably and snugly, and you should wear it every time you ride. Don’t forget to require your passengers to wear a helmet as well.
The NHTSA in 2006 estimated that helmets decrease the probability of a fatal accident by 37 percent. Helmets also decrease the probability of a nonfatal injury by about 15 percent.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, you may need professional help. The Orlando motorcycle accident attorneys at Best & Anderson have extensive experience in helping motorcycle accident victims get the compensation they deserve.
Reasons People Don’t Wear Motorcycle Helmets
People say the reasons why they don’t wear motorcycle helmets are that helmets are:
• Expensive
• Hot
• Restrictive
• The cause of messy helmet-head hair
• Freedom of choice
The reality is that each of these reasons can’t bring back someone’s life if it is lost in a motorcycle accident. Donning a helmet doesn’t limit motorcycle drivers’ ability to hear or see what is happening around them.
The bottom line is helmets are the single most important piece of protective equipment you can have when riding a motorcycle!

Bikers Give Back Through Charitable Work
Jan 16th
Although sometimes the public forgets, riders of Harley-Davidson’s and other motorcycles are people too. We have the same concerns and needs as anyone else and the same desire to help those less fortunate. There are dozens of biker-sponsored charities out there including the few mentioned here.
Bikers Against Child Abuse
Founder John Paul Chief Lilly is a Licensed Social Worker and avid biker. Chief was trying to find a way to help an abused eight-year-old boy and bring him out of his shell of fear. He brought the boy into his circle of biker friends and this boy opened up over the next few weeks.
In 1995, the first ride to help abused kids was held. The event was such a success that new chapters started springing up around the nation.
This biker family exists to work with law enforcement and the court system to help abused kids get the help and protection they need. They help raise money to fund therapy for abused children that is often not covered by medical insurance.
Long Reach Long Riders
One of the more recent biker charities, this organization held its first ride in support of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS in 2004. Since then they have raised over $130,000 and have added another charity, ESTA Foundations Behind the Scenes.
They hold rides each year and success has skyrocketed. The 2007 ride through New England raised more than double what 2006 raised and they have high hopes for the 2008 ride in the Southwest.
Not wanting to limit participation to beefy guys on their Harley-Davidson’s, in 2007 they added the “Short Reach Short Riders” annual event. Teenagers ride tricycles to raise money for LRLR charities.
Love Ride
This charity goes back to 1981 when Harley-Davidson became a Muscular Dystrophy Association sponsor. A Harley-Davidson shop owner named Oliver Shokouh held two Biker’s Carnivals in support of the MDA. The carnivals were only marginally successful as fundraisers so Shokouh and his friends came up with another idea: the Love Ride.
The first ride in 1984 was a huge success. Not only did over 500 people show up, but these people included Peter Fonda, Robbie Krieger of The Doors, and Willie G. Davidson, the grandson of one of Harley-Davidson’s original founders.
The annual ride has become more successful every year, raising over twenty million dollars for the MDA, Special Olympics, Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, and many others.
Bikers all over the country are doing what they can to give back to the community doing what they love: riding their bikes. They are raising money, helping the community, and spreading awareness of serious problems. Although Hollywood loves to use the bad-biker cliche, real bikers are doing what they can to make our world a better place.

A Brief History Of Motorcycles
Jan 14th
The history of the motorcycle will forever be linked with the development of early bicycles. The bicycle formed the basis for early motorbikes and helped to shape the history of these motorized machines.
In 1867 Sylvester Howard Roper invented the first machine that some would recognise as a motorbike. Roper, an American, created a machine that had two cylinder steam engine. This early bike was powered by coal.
Some experts insist that having the machine powered in such a way suggests that it can’t really be compared to modern motorcycles.
Many suggest that the first real motorcycle was invented by Gottlieb Daimler. Daimler was, of course, to eventually find rather more fame through his work on cars.
Daimler had been working for some time with Nicolaus August Otto, who was himself an early expert in designing and building engines. Daimler took one of Otto’s engines and attached it to a wooden bicycle frame.
Otto’s four stroke internal combustion engine was a remarkable breakthrough and Daimler’s use of it ensured that in 1885 he produced what many see as having been the first ever motorcycle.
There is often some confusion, with many believing that these machines were invented by the Harley Davidson company.
That company was founded by William Harley, Arthur Davidson and Walter Davidson. Although they did play a key role in the early development of motorcycles, they didn’t start producing the machines until almost twenty years after Daimler had created the first one.
Although Harley Davidsons quickly became known for their speed and performance, the inventors always intended that the bikes should be used for transport purposes.
Today, they remain as one of the great icons of the last century.
It’s amazing to think that the developments of more than 100 years ago led to the production of modern day motorbikes.

Motorcycle Beginners
Jan 10th
Ok, let’s face it, motorcycles are cool. They look great, you get to wear sweet clothes when riding, and there is nothing quite like the feeling of riding your bike on the roads or trails. For beginners, you really need to take some time to get used to being on your bike—you need to be comfortable with how it handles, the speed of the bike, balancing on turns, and knowing the rules of the road. Without that knowledge, instead of looking cool, you could look like a fool. Some basic tips.
With respect to the slight variations of different types of motorcycles, the basic methods of starting a bike are quite similar. Turn the key in the ignition. If the bike has a fuel petcock, turn it on. Then make sure that the bike is ready—all necessary switches turned on, expand the choke, and ensure the bike is set in neutral. Let the bike warm up a bit before taking off.
You need to practice shifting gears on a motorcycle. While it will eventually very easy, you need to get a feel for the shifting process, and the coordination necessary to perform the actions. If you have any questions, do some research, or ask an experienced rider before you buy the bike. To shift gears, put some pressure on the clutch, while at the same time reducing pressure on the throttle, and use your foot to engage the gear shifter. Yes, it’s pretty simple, but most people struggle when they first start to ride.
You should also take some time to practice handling your bike, or take a rider safety course. Always respect the rules of the road, and be vigilant to spot potential trouble, whether it’s another driver, debris in the road, or being aware of road conditions. Focus is very important for all motorcycle riders.
Have fun on your bike. Once you get used to it, you’ll be out on the road looking cool.

Do You Want to Start Your Own Custom Harley Shop?
Jan 6th
Many people dream of owning a business, and turning a hobby into a profession can seem like the ideal way to realize that dream. If you like to build and fix your own Harley Davidson, you could turn your passion for motorcycles into a lucrative opportunity. The subject of starting a business is beyond the scope of this small article, but here are a few tips to get you started.
Dream Big, Start Small
One of the reasons that a custom bike shop is such a good opportunity is that your startup costs don’t have to be large. You can start off working in your own garage on one project at a time. You won’t need to keep a large inventory of Harley bike parts on hand as you can order just what you need.
You can either build a custom bike of your own design then try to sell it, or you can take commissions and build someone else’s dream bike. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Using your own design means you can build according to your strengths and order just the Harley bike parts you need. You aren’t on a deadline so you can spend as much or as little time each day on it. The problem is that once you have the bike done, you have a significant investment in it and you have no idea how long it will be before you find a buyer.
Getting customers first and working on their design can be more lucrative but more difficult. You have a paycheck waiting for you at the end of the project and may collect some of the money up front. However you are now held to someone else’s ideas and timetable.
Transitioning from Hobby to Business
Turning your love of custom Harley bike parts into a profession may seem like a terrific idea, but there are pitfalls. The most important attitude adjustment you will have to make is to understand that this is a business now. One of the leading reasons home businesses fail is that their owners can’t make the adjustment. Many of your motivations will have to change.
This change means that some of the fun of bike building will disappear. Many people who own custom motorcycle shops find that they are less interested in working on their own bikes now that it is their job.
The fact that you can start small means you can test the waters of self-employment and see if you can make the adjustment. You could start with a weekend project without quitting your job, investing in only the Harley bike parts you need as you need them. After a couple of these kinds of projects you can decide if it seems like something you can commit to and if the income is worth the time you invest.

Travel in Style with Motorcycle Cargo Trailers
Jan 5th
Motorcycle cargo trailers give you more space when you are traveling on your bike. If you’ve ever tried to vacation on your motorcycle, you know that you don’t have a lot of space for luggage, clothing, or other items. Sure, you can fit a few things in saddle bags or in a motorcycle trunk, but space is still at a premium.
One solution to the problem is to invest in a motorcycle cargo trailer. You’ll find that traveling and transporting things from place to place is much easier than without out. Finally, you’ll have room for extra clothing, helmets, gifts for family members, or other personal items. Packing will be easier because you won’t have to try jamming too many items into too small a space.
Cargo trailers come in stream lined designs that fit behind most motorcycles. Generally, they’ll be the same width or narrower than your handlebars. This allows the trailer to draft behind your bike, reducing the amount of gas required to pull the trailer. Trailers often have between 17 and 23 cubic feet of space. Some will also come with independent suspension for a smooth ride behind the bike.
When you’re looking at motorcycle cargo trailers, you’ll find that many can be painted to match your bike. This creates an attractive appearance and won’t detract from the look of your bike. Most trailers also come with carpeted interiors to protect your belongings and built in brake and turn lights for added safety. In addition, you can find models with other customized features or extra style details.
With a cargo trailer, you can easily travel with what you need. Your belongings will also be safe and secure when you leave your bike for dinner, sightseeing, or in the hotel parking lot overnight. You’ll love having a little extra space for keeping souvenirs or more clothing options. If you want to camp, you can keep your tent and other equipment inside and out of the way until you need it.
Motorcycle cargo trailers give you many options for traveling. You’ll have extra space for whatever you want to bring along. You’ll also know that your stuff is safe in the trailer and it won’t get dusty or dirty from any weather conditions you might encounter on the road. Try out a motorcycle cargo trailer today and see how easy traveling will be with one.
