How long will it be before motorcycles run without gas? It’s a question for the ages, or the engineers. Now that cars and trucks are scaling back fuel usage and converting to electric power, don’t kid yourself, motorcycles won’t be far behind. There will always be a place for the classics, mind you, just the same as there’ll always be a place for classic cars – though perhaps alternative fuels will allow us to retain the internal-combustion engine without using fossil fuels.
Valentino Rossi won his 100th Grand Prix, took his second triumph in succession and became the undisputed leader of the MotoGP World Championship with a stellar performance at the Alice TT Assen. The Fiat Yamaha rider had a peerless performance from pole position and, unlike two weeks previous in Barcelona, needed no ‘Hail Mary’ last lap at the Cathedral of Motorcycle Racing.

Again, I’m probably bitching to the wrong crowd… You guys are here reading this, so you’re clearly part of the group that likes to read about motorcycling and be informed…. well at least you can sympathize with my thoughts then.
In recent rants I have complained about people wearing fake dog tags and motorcycle jackets with fake road rash. In general, I have a put up or shut up attitude, but this month my rant is again directed towards the “fake biker”. (more…)
These motorcycles may experience fuel leakage from the fuel line at the fuel injector connection. The plastic fitting between fuel injector and hose can warp or break which could possibly result in a potential hazard to the rider and possible damage to the motorcycle.
1549 units are affected.

Laconia Motorcycle Week is one of three national motorcycle rallies, the other two being Sturgis and Daytona Beach Bike Week. Also referred to as the Loudon Classic, the 2009 Laconia rally will be the 85th annual event and is on the Lightning Customs 2009 Major Bike rally list.
New Hampshire is a beautiful state and the Laconia area is no different. Laconia NH is surrounded by Lakes Winnipesaukee and Winnisquam; Paugus and Opechee Bays; and beautiful mountains and hills, so make time to do some riding in the area. In 2008 with less attendees it made it easier to get around to enjoy the scenic rides. Other attractions at this biker rally will include the Laconia Bike Show, Ride-In Bike Show, ultimate fighting, motorcycle parade, motorcycle auction, Notheast Regional Trike-In, tattoo contests, motorcycle stunts, poker runs, guided rides, and live music. There are also attractions at the bars including music, Jagermeister Promos, Coors promos, Budweiser Promotions, stunt riders, bikini bike wash, tattoo contests, and more. The local dealerships have attractions like the Miss Heritage Harley Davidson Contest, Miss Bikeweiser Contest, bikini and attractions for the bikers
The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) has announced that the 2009 edition of AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days will take place July 24-26, at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio.
AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days has grown to become America’s grandest celebration of motorcycling heritage, and features numerous activities inspired by all eras. The weekend is loaded with highlights, including the world’s largest motorcycle swap meet, where collectors from throughout North America spread out over 35 acres to sell everything from fork boots to books to complete bikes. Also on tap are demo rides of current production bikes, motorcycling seminars, bike shows, stunt shows, the new product Manufacturers’ Midway, club corrals that feature both marque and regional clubs, and guided rides through the rolling Ohio countryside.
In addition, the weekend is scheduled to feature a full slate of motorcycle competition, including road racing, motocross, observed trials, hare scrambles and dirt track for both vintage and post-vintage motorcycles.
All proceeds from AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days benefit the AMA’s Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum in nearby Pickerington, Ohio.
2009 marks the 18th year of AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days and the event’s 15th year at the world-class complex of Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. In 2008, nearly 70,000 attendees converged on Mid-Ohio for the mid-summer extravaganza, which featured Triumph as the Marque of the Year, and AMA racing legends Bill Baird and Gene Romero as co-Grand Marshals.
Tickets for AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days 2009 will become available from Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course beginning on Nov. 30, 2008, at www.midohio.com or by phone at (800) MID-OHIO.
More announcements regarding the details of 2009 AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days will be made soon, including the Marque of the Year, the Grand Marshal honoree and additional activities and exhibitions.

Bridgestone Americas Tire Operation (BATO) is recalling certain Bridgestone Exedra G850 G motorcycle tires, size 180/70R16 77H, sold as original equipment for MY 2008 and 2009 Triumph Rocket III Touring motorcycles.
The motorcycle to which these tires are applied develops very high torque and can cause torque-induced degradation in a body ply which may result in innerliner cracking that may lead to a slow leak in the rear tire. This condition does not affect the front tire.
The affected tires may begin to vibrate at moderate speeds. Continued use of a tire with this condition could lead to a vehicle crash. BATO is working with Triumph to notify owners and the defective tires will be replaced free of charge. In addition, the front tire will be replaced free of charge due to the matching requirements of the motorcycle.
The safety recall is expected to begin during April 2009. Owners may contact BATO toll-free at 1-800-465-1904.
Consumers may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or at www.safercar.gov.
