Rental Tip:
GOT THE ITCH?
As we head into Spring
in the upper Midwest
an annual phenomenon
begins to take place
with those of us who
ride. The need to get on our scoots and
catch some wind becomes a drive that
falls second only to that one that “keeps
people populating the planet” if you know
what I mean (wink wink).
Unfortunately, the weather does not often
cooperate at this time of year. Yeah, there
might be a nice day for ridin’ that crops
up every now and again but wouldn’t you
know it ends up fallin’ on a Wednesday or
some other inopportune time. One thing
seems to be almost for sure…schedule
that all-day ride with you and your bros
(and/or sisters) and chances are good to
excellent that it will be cold, rainy or both!
So…what is Plan B you ask?
Here it is…pick a kick-ass ride destination
with mind-blowing roads and jaw-dropping
scenery within a single days ride. Phoenix
and Las Vegas are just 2 spots that come
to mind. I am talking’ about places like
Death Valley, Zion Natl Park and Bryce
Canyon out of Vegas and Sedona, Tucson
and the Grand Canyon out of Phoenix…
these rides are the real deal boys and girls
if they are not on your bucket list now…
they sure ought to be!
Review the Check List available on page
34 and Go ahead scratch that itch… you
are gonna love it!
Till next time…
Keep the Shiny Side Up!

Tech Tip:
High Mileage Concerns
Jim Jones
Custom Services Motorcycles
CREEPERSCUSTOMS.COM
This time I’m going to talk to you about high
mileage bikes, many of us ride and there are
some of us that ride a lot of miles a year.
Now whether you keep the same bike or trade it off every couple
years. The thing you have to remember is that if you’re riding a high
mileage bike (50,000 miles or more); when you do your regular
service, make sure you check things out. Not just wear on brakes
bearings and such but check other things out. For example, if your
handlebar isolator mounts are worn out that means they have been
under a lot of strain, for sure if you have ape hangers, so a lot of peo-
ple would change the isolators. But they never give any thought to
the riser bolts, if the riser isolators are worn out you can bet the bolts
are fatigued as well and could possibly break causing a much worse
problem then the rubbers. Another example would be tires and bear-
ings, everybody changes their tires and wheel bearings (I hope) but
did you ever think of the axle or the axle nuts or washers? Or even
more important check the swing arm or fork lowers, when changing
your rear tire or checking the bearings. Look at the swingarm, this is
especially true on baggers, dyna and fx type swingarms, you want to
look at where the axle and the axle nut and washer meet the swin-
garm this is a weak point on the swingarm.
What happens especially on high mileage bikes is that from continu-
ous tire changes and service and possible over tightening the metal
begins to wear and give you a place for a possible crack and because
the washer or the axle head covers up the area from sight it usually
goes unnoticed. If you check this and find a hairline crack, you have
two options. First is to find a good used swingarm (good luck), second
you can take it to a welding shop or bike shop that does welding and
have them reinforce the swingarm in these areas. The reason I bring
these last two items up is that they just recently were found on a bike
in our shop, not two different bikes but the same bike.

 When it was brought in for a broken riser bolt he had a list of things
he wanted fixed and checked out. After doing the riser isolators and
bolts and a few other things we went to check the rear wheel bearings,
when taking off the bags to perform the work we discovered that not
only was the swingarm cracked but it was completely broken off and
the only thing holding it in place was the axle nut and washer. Had the
axle come loose the outcome would have been horrific. After seeing
this we checked another bagger in the shop and sure enough the swin-
garm was starting to crack on that one as well. Both bikes having over
50,000 miles, so the point I’m trying to make here is you could be the
most service oriented person changing oil fluids bearings etc. like both
of these customers were, and still u can find more things if you look.
Remember if the part is worn look at what it’s attached to or what its
being attached with, and this could also need your attention or replace-
ment. Steel and aluminum are not indestructible; it can wear and fail
just as tires bearings and other parts.
Just a thought if you’re riding that “one owner original bike” with high
miles, it might be time to check some of those not so scheduled main-
tenance items, see ya next time… Jim Jones

Curve Negotiation
By Woodstock Harley-Davidson
Riding School
Robert Shelton, Instructor

2011 is here and a new riding season is upon us! One of my absolute
riding joys is riding through Sweeping curves. Ahhhhhhhh, there’s
nothing like a bit of lean and just cruising through the turns. It is just
raw joy going though curves on a motorcycle. However, if a curve is
misjudged or not negotiated properly the joy is removed and it can be
a down and out raw experience. I would like to provide some thoughts
and guidance here to keep the joy in your curves this new season.
Curves come in all different shapes and sizes. The same holds true
for the roads we ride on. And, if not handled properly trouble can be
gotten into. Some of the things that can cause difficulty with curves
are critters coming out on you, or coming into a curve too fast and
braking improperly, or not using proper head and eye technique, or mis-
judging a road condition such as debris, sand or gravel on the surface,
or any combination of these. Let’s explore these items and minimize
their ability to influence our ability to negotiate curves. Typical Curves
are sweepers, turns and switchbacks. They can be long and lean.
They can be short and stout. The long and lean sweepers are fun
because you can glide right through them. The short and stout ones
can be dicey because they require you to properly lean, maneuver and
throttle through the curve.
If there is any doubt regarding speed, debris, sand or critters then slow
down. It is always better to slow down before you get to the curve
rather than in the curve. Once you are in the curve roll on the throttle
and go through the curve. This loads the suspension and allows you to
lean the motorcycle into the curve. If you have to brake while in the
curve, straighten the motorcycle first and then apply braking. When
you apply brakes while in the curve the motorcycle automatically works
to straighten upright and you lose your ability to lean and negotiate the
turn.
When you are moving at speed greater than roughly 15mph you push
in the direction you want to go. If you want to go to the left you push
on the left handlebar. If you want to go to the right you push on the
11
right handlebar. When you push to the left or
right it automatically causes the motorcycle to
lean in that direction and consequently go in
that direction. Your motorcycle’s lean limit is
pretty low. Most folks are sketchy about scrap-
ing the pegs. If your pegs or boards scrape it’s
ok, don’t panic, keep pressing on your bar, ease
through and continue on.
Eye and head position are important. Your mo-
torcycle always goes where you look. Look through the curve and drive
through it. I tend to look as far through the curve as I can and keep
my eys and head level with the horizon. I don’t fixate on lines and
objects. If you fixate on an object or line you’ll drive right to it. There-
fore, try not to fixate on cars, lines or road shoulders.
I hope this segment will bring a bit more joy in safely navigating all
those luscious and gracious curves we see out on our rides.
Until next time, only you can determine how good you want to be....
Robert Shelton

Feature: Parts What cha’ digging up?
Ron Olson, Owner
Milwaukee Cycle
...everyone’s a Picker
Even before the show became popular pickers were abundant,
they just did not have such a glorious title. Whatever the intent, cob
web laced cycles are being dragged out of the back shed, dug from un-
der tons of paper in the garage and rescued from the entwining grip of
a buckthorn that has engulfed a foot rest and managed to work its way
thru the frame, (remember the saw?).
After you have managed to get it home, now the sixty four thou-
sand dollar question hits the fan, (after you wife gets done with you
for dragging home a “collectable”, if only she shared your vision), what
does it need and where do I get it. Before you do anything to your new
find, know what your goal is: 10/10 restoration, something to ride for
the kid, Rat bike to quench the midlife, or just something to work on to
get out of the house. Now set it up for a photo shoot, get it well lit and
take pictures of everything, since we are not supporting our local Foto-
mat anymore there is no reason to be stingy, take pictures of every item
on the cycle while it is still on.
Now the fun, the dissection, as you take each piece off, take a
picture of it on the cycle then take pictures of it after it is off, making
sure to capture any unique features. For the parts you plan on replac-
ing print a picture and write any factory part numbers and dimensions.
Even if you are making a Rat, it is good to know what you are replacing.
With the growth of the web, finding parts has become much
easier, but as always buyer beware, if you are buying on an auction site
make sure to ask plenty of questions especially if the seller has only a
couple of feedbacks, ask for dimensions and additional pictures to verify
it is a good part and what you need. If they are not taking care of you
up front they are not going to help you once the honeymoon is over
and they have your extra beer money.
At Milwaukee Cycle the bulk of the business is used metric parts
(Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha), there are 23,000 sq. ft. of parts
from the 60’s to present. All of the parts are labeled and inventoried
but there are also a couple hundred standing donor cycles. If some-
one knows exactly what they want they can bring it to the counter
or if they’re trying to stir the creative juices… then pack a lunch and
14
 browse. It makes everyone’s
life a little easier when the parts
that someone is trying to replace
are brought in (although leave
motors outside). You can lay the
parts next to each other to verify
the match and with gas prices
at close to $4 per gallon no one
wants an extra trip.
Whatever your goal is for your picked treasure, bring in your
worn, tired and decayed, the new owners at Milwaukee Cycle’s goal
is to help you meet yours. You can send your part requests to parts@
milwaukeecycle.com
Milwaukee Cycle has been serving bikers since 1987. We are
under new ownership, listening to our customers and bring-
ing to the store what they are asking for. We invite you to
come in and shape the riders store.

 Attorney Tip: Helmet Laws and
Insurance: an insidious relationship
by Tony “Pan” Sanfelipo
What do helmet laws and insurance have
to do with each other? Interestingly more
than one might suspect. There is an annual
attempt to repeal mandatory helmet laws
from a number of states, notably Michigan. As
seen in other states attempting such legisla-
tion, a condition was added to the bill language calling for additional
medical pay coverage in the amount of $20,000. ABATE of Michi-
gan has been fighting the mandate since its inception and ABATE
member Mike Poage points out that bikers should already have the
$20,000 medical coverage under the state’s insurance plan. Michi-
gan has no-fault Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance. Mo-
torcyclists are entitled to PIP even though they are not required to
carry PIP insurance.
One of the biggest problems in securing helmet law repeals is
the argument that bikers sustain serious injuries that aren’t covered
by minimum limits of insurance, thus the need for add on medi-
cal coverage. In Michigan, that might not be the case. The big-
ger problem is that while helmet law proponents’ call for bikers to
carry more medical coverage, these same people do not call for an
increase in minimum insurance coverage. Michigan, for instance,
has a $20/40/10 plan, which is woefully inadequate. In Wisconsin,
an insurance law change in 2009 increased Wisconsin’s minimums
to $50/100/100 and the ability to stack multiple policies. That was
great, except in the wisdom of a new administration, the law is on a
fast track to go back to the inadequate minimums of $25/50/10.
Illinois was also considering an increase in minimum coverage
of insurance, recognizing that the current limits did not cover any
substantial injuries. If bikers were at fault the majority of the time in
accidents, it might lend to the argument that they should carry more
medical insurance. The opposite is true in that most times in multi-
ple vehicle crashes, it’s the other vehicle that caused the crash. Yet
there is a trend to somehow hold the victim accountable by requir-
ing more insurance and sometimes mandatory rider training to ride
helmet free. Some states are not buying into this shallow thinking.
The State of Washington is considering HB1984, which completely
removes all language referring to mandatory use of motorcycle
helmets, with no additional provisions. It’s what motorcycle rights
activists call a “clean bill.”
In this writer’s opinion, mandatory minimum levels of insurance
have to increase to at least catch up with the inflation rates. Many
of these limits were set back in the 1980’s or earlier. To maintain
inadequate limits of insurance while claiming victims of crashes are
becoming burdens to society is pure hypocrisy. To insist riders must
carry additional personal medical coverage in order to ride without a
helmet is despotic.

Feature: Live to Ride...Ride to Eat
I love food. But better than anything I could ever make in the kitchen, I make
better reservations. And there will always be someone who can make a dish
better than me. So I will do what I do best, ride... and enjoy what they do
best, cook! This column will be an ongoing feature as we explore our riding area
looking for and directing you to some of those little known treasures of food
bliss to add to your destination rides.
The Shanty
on Hwy 41 in Wadsworth, IL is a place that once you discover, you will always
go back. A comfortable rustic atmosphere, this is a place where quality food
meets a fair price. Known for their quality food, including: steaks, chops,
burgers, and seafood. Recently, featured on the Food Network show “Diners,
Drive-ins and Dives,” which highlighted their Whiskey Shrimp, Tequila & Orange
Salmon and the Filet Mignon. All of the dishes are customer inspired, so when
you’re planning your trip in Northeast Illinois plan your route to The Shanty at
38995 North US Hwy 41, Wadsworth Il 60083. They are open Monday through
Saturday 11am – 10pm and Sunday 7am – 9pm. My personal favourite is the
eggs Benedict on Sunday Morning!!
Spokes Bar & Deli
was built in August 2004 by Naval Veteran, Larry Wojtecki who owned and ran
L.W. Meats and Deli in Elm Grove, Wisconsin for 30 years were his “Two Wheel
Tuesday” event was started. The environment is like a museum of motorcycles
and memorabilia and hand painted murals on the wall offer surprise images to
the keen eye while you’re waiting on your freshly made plates. Quarter pound
Brats, Hot Dogs, and Hot Polish are a special on Two Wheel Tuesday from 4pm
– 10pm and their other daily specials and cold drinks make this a must visit
when you are in the area. You will find Spokes Bar & Deli just east of the I-94 /
Hwy. 20 (exit 333), at 14001 Washington Ave., Yorkville, WI 53177. Everything
on Larry’s menu is my favourite and everyone on your ride will enjoy this stop.
The Kelsey Road House
South Barrington, IL, Now offering Gino’s East Pizza Menu and a full menu
including sandwiches, salads, steaks and daily specials.
A great outdoor patio is open during nice weather and
there is plenty of parking. This is a great destination
with a great atmosphere and great food. The Kelsey
Road House is at 352 Kelsey Road (just off Hwy 14),
Lake Barrington, IL. Beverly is a welcoming host and
I’m just waiting for the weather to break to visit again
for the pizza.
The 2011 riding season is just getting started and
together we’ll discover some fabulous meals so send in your recommendations
and we’ll check them out to share with your brothers and sisters who ride.

Kneez in the
Breeze
Judy “Chooch” Kaenel
President, DuKane Chapter

There is a poster floating around with a big bad biker on

it that states “Fears No Man, Soccer Mom’s Scare Him”
well, I do not fear soccer moms, I fear apathy. For those
that don’t know Apathy is the absence of interest in or
enthusiasm for things generally considered moving. For
me, I like to call it the “whatevah” syndrome. There is such a lack of inter-
est in fighting for motorcycle rights that it scares me to the core! A.B.A.T.E. of
Illinois is tap dancing hard to get bikers out there motivated again to fight for
their rights and we are losing that particular fight!

T
Here in Illinois we have won so many battles against government interference
in our rights to ride free that most bikers figure “why get involved!” or “hey, we
be okay!”. Well guess what sweetpea – we ain’t! NHSTB has now release the
Ten Top Most Wanted pamphlet to all the States including our supposedly fail
safe state and Motorcycles are in this list! This government sponsored program
is insisting that all motorcyclists wear helmets and full safety gear! I am sure
you have all heard that Motorcycle Only Mandatory Safety Checks are in full
swing and coming to a road near you! You can be stopped, checked, searched
and this is all under the cover of “education”! They are also dangling the carrot
of cash to itty bitty towns we all love to ride through to conduct these invasive
searches – and ya know what? They are biting! Hey I don’t blame them! If I
had Uncle Sam giving me well
needed cash to my town of 200
just to stop a few bikers? Ya see
the picture Spike?
Well I want motorcycle educa-
tion to remain back in the hands
of A.B.A.T.E. and not used as
a tool from some non-riding
bureaucrats dipping their greasy
little hands into my rights to ride
as I want to! I want to send a
message to the NHSTB boys
that we are not playing into their
poker hand of their own personal
agendas! I want to stop these
unconstitutional searches! How
do we all do that? By contact-
A Web - Store with ing your local A.B.A.T.E. chapter
or state office and saying “Hey
Apparel and Accessories brother, what can I do” otherwise
your “Whatevah” thought proc-
for Plus Size Ladies ess will have you wearing Kevlar
and a lid faster than you can say
Who Love to Ride mandatory! So whatcha gonna
do? Get measured for steel
enforced outfit and a shiny black
www.FluffyBikerChicks.com helmet or are you going to join
the fight with me? Call your local
Genuine Harley Davidson Apparel A.B.A.T.E. now or play the puppet
22 for your government piper!

 Dale’s Diatribe:
But I digress…
Dale Lumovic
President, D.R.ILL.

Like many of you, I have an interesting com-

mute to work every morning. I travel from
my home in central Lake County in Illinois to
my office about 15 miles from my home. The
road I travel is one of favorites in the county.
Slightly hilly, curvy and with a speed limit that makes the trip enjoyable
even when I’m not on my Ducati or any number of other bikes at my
disposal.
Something I’ve noticed since moving to this area is that other motor-
ists are too busy with other things in their vehicles to enjoy this route or
their own commute to where ever it is that their travels are taking them.
Often times during what should be the “morning rush”, they’re fussing
with electric shavers, applying makeup, checking messages or simply
playing with their personal electronic devices to take in the beauty of
this road and make the most of this moment in driving pleasure. Have
we lost touch with immersing ourselves in what cars and bikes bring out
emotionally when we get behind the wheel or throw a leg over a saddle?
From my experience I believe we have. It’s become a chore more than
a passion.
The speed limit in this area is posted as 50 miles per hour, yet many
times I’m trapped behind a column where the front car is driving at 10
miles per hour below that limit even when the road is dry and the morn-
ing sky is crisp, sunny and beautiful. In this two lane roadway, other
motorists can’t even manage to keep their vehicle between the lines
although they’re traveling at much less than the limit, because they’re
distracted by doing something other than focusing on driving. “Arrggh-
hh! Com’on now people,” I find myself screaming inside my helmet as
I observe bad behavior day after day from a wide range of drivers from
many age groups and both genders as I try to enjoy this short jump to
my daily druthers at my job. What is the point of this rant? Well on the
weekends it’s not a lot different except that I get the joy of seeing many
groups of riders out with their buddies and significant others enjoying
this stretch of road in the same way I do, and as much as seeing their
rush of riding being impeded by the mindless drones.
After all the sensation of flying just above the pavement is what makes
me love riding and those that chose to limit that joy that comes in riding
at the posted speed limit (and perhaps occasionally above it) is what
brings many of us to riding in the first place. I’m not suggesting that we
do anything illegal, but what the @$%*! …But I digress.

How many of you have lost a riding buddy to “love”? I can recall on
a quick audit that I have lost too many to be happy about. We’ve all
been there, riding on the weekend, was the first thing we thought of
as we punched the clock on Friday to once again enjoy our weekly
two day holiday. Ringing up all the guys to plan a trip to…anywhere
our collective noses were pointing. Sharing this time was the thing
that made the prior five days tolerable. Getting out on the road with
these guys was like the time we were kids getting everybody from the
neighborhood out for a pick-up game of football or baseball except
that we’ve exchanged those sporting goods for leathers, helmets, and
boots.
Then out of the blue, love steps in the way. The kind of love that does
not share our passion of riding. The kind of love that convinces us that
riding is a dangerous pursuit and it would be wiser not to ride, than to
get out and fly by the seat of your pants. The kind of love that takes
that buddy away from us and what we thought was his infinite love
for being with us and watching the odometer count up higher num-
bers with every passing minute. The kind of love that shouts, “it would
much safer to go to Bed, Bath and Beyond to shop for towels.” Arrg-
ghhh! “ Com’on now people!!! Are you kidding me? I too was one of
these folks. Until I saw the errors of my ways and came back to what I
knew was my passion. I’ve never looked back. Thanks to riding, I’ve
had the pleasure to meet and become friends with folks that I would
not have were I not part of this community. Not had adventures,
good and bad, that we look back on and laugh about today. Not seen
places from the saddle that can’t be mimicked behind a steering wheel
or postcard.
Why not work to convince the “loves
of our lives” to share in this joy and if
not in the saddle with us, on their own
rides. I’m convinced that once they’ve
had a chance to see what we see and
feel what we feel, they too will become
intoxicated by its ability to make you
feel like nothing else does. I’m working
on my wife. She’s reluctant, but when
I point out how many other ladies ride
with great pleasure and little danger, it makes her do a double take
and consider perhaps it’s the correct choice if she wants to be with me
and our friends on certain weekends.
It takes the right kind of bike, but there is something out there for
everybody and their individual tastes. Riding is life, and life is not al-
ways meant to be taken in, by small sips from it vessel. Sometimes it’s
good to take it in with big sloppy gulps. This is what riding means to
many of us and I welcome it with a healthy dose. But I digress…

 Where to Ride:
Door County, Wisconsin
Your stories. Our setting. Like nowhere else.
Named one of the top-ten vacation destinations in North
America by Money magazine, Door County offers bikers scenic
seaside experiences in the heart of the Midwest.
Surrounded by water, this bucolic 70-mile long peninsula juts
into Lake Michigan along Wisconsin’s eastern coast and combines
natural beauty and outdoor recreation with acclaimed performing
arts, renowned galleries and shops, scrumptious local cuisine and
pampering accommodations. It’s the perfect place to ride.
With 300 miles of shoreline and hundreds of miles of paved
country roads, scenic route pos-
sibilities abound. Ride through
parks with incredible water views,
cruise through quaint waterfront
villages, enjoy the charm of the
peninsula’s interior orchards or
drive your bike onto a boat for
a 30 minute ferry ride over to
Washington Island, Door County’s
largest and only year-round island
community.
Five state parks, eleven historic lighthouses and more than 50
local beachside parks provide riding alternatives and the option
to be active or just enjoy the sights. Choose from sailing, fishing,
swimming, camping, hiking, horseback riding, parasailing, sea
kayaking, climb to the top of a lighthouse or enjoy a scenic zip
line tour.
Painters, potters and performers abound in the peninsula’s
quaint waterfront villages and on Washington Island. Door County
is well known for more than 100 galleries, museums and ac-
claimed performing arts troupes and venues.
31
 No visit to Door County would be complete without sampling
a traditional Door County Fish Boil. This Scandinavian tradition
dates back to the county’s lumbering and fishing heydays and
mixes locally caught whitefish steaks, onions and potatoes in a
large kettle. The meal is cooked outdoors over an open wood fire
and is highlighted by a fiery “boil over” which sends flames soar-
ing into the air and signals that dinner is ready.
But be sure and save time to enjoy the tranquility offered
by less energetic pursuits. Stroll along miles of scenic shoreline.
Pick a pail of delicious cherries in July or a basket of crunchy ap-
ples in September. Or take in one of the colorful weekend festivals
that are held in the peninsula’s quaint waterfront villages and on
Washington Island throughout the year.
