big twins of today.

Picture of the month
In Bruges. Not only the
temporary hideout for Ken and Ray,
but also the place where this beautiful 883
Sportster has its home. Just
replacing the front wheel with a spoked one, led
to a much better look. Our
correspondent AJS refused to hand out the photos
of the bike showing the female owner. He must have had his reasons.

About 140 miles north
of the Harley Davidson factory in Wisconsin,
you will find Brian's shop. Brian sells
primarily Harley-Davidson motorcycles, which
can be damaged due to a falling branch of a
tree, or an accident. Thus these bikes are
inexpensive and Brian will tell you, what do
you have to do, to fix it. Import duties and
taxes can be saved and you finally end up
with a sound ride for the price you can
afford. Brian ships worldwide.

By David
Edwards - Nick Roskelley calls his
creation the “Harleyton 45” a rolling
amalgamation consisting of a 45-cubic-inch
(750cc) Harley-Davidson flathead V-twin housed
in a 1960s Norton Featherbed frame. The engine,
of 1942 vintage, was originally found in a WLC
model, the Canadian-spec army bike, one of
90,000 military motorcycles Harley built during
the war. An odd pairing of motor and frame, for
which Nick takes no credit. He purchased the
rolling chassis for the princely sum of $2000
just before the owner was about to turn it into
a chopper, perish the thought. To date, he’s
laid out a total of less than $3500 in bringing
the bike to the condition you see it here. That
doesn’t include numerous trips to the scrap bin
for parts and many late nights in his small
workshop persuading them to fit. Read more about

Don't
you dare
This warning "Don't ride without a
helmet!" was found
in
Hat Yai in the very South of Thailand.
Your fine will be 200 THB or converted,
just 6 Dollar. You can even get
away with less, if you do not
insist on a receipt. This kind of law
enforcement leads, among other things, to a
death toll on the roads of Thailand of
25.000 per year (source WHO).
To understand these numbers you should know
that Thailand launches Traffic Safety
Campaigns from time to time. Therefore these
important rules will be strictly enforced
1. For safety reasons, not more than six
cars/motorcycles may drive into an
intersection and cross it, after the red
traffic light has been turned on. The number
for Bangkok is reduced to three.
2. STOP-signs may only be neglected with the
hazard lights on. This will warn other road
users and explain the urgency of the mission
of the vehicle crossing.
3. Mobile phones may only be used while
driving, if the car is equipped with tinted
windscreens. This will save the driver from
receiving a warning.
4. Turn signals should be switched on in
either direction at all times. This is to make
the following driver guess, if you will
proceed straight, or if you may make a turn.
This situation will strengthen the alertness
of the driver behind.
5. The use of rear mirrors is only permitted
to check and redo your lipstick, or to squeeze
out pimples. Those actions will prevent that
you actively participate in the traffic, which
is boring anyway.
6. High beams and fog lights should be
switched on at all times, as the driver coming
from the other direction will be blinded, and
must slow down or even stop. This measurement
will help drivers coming from opposite
directions to pass each other at slow speeds.
7. Remaining tire pressure gauges at gas
stations are to be removed. This will ensure,
that the tires of vehicles will always be
filled up to a the maximum pressure the air
compressor can produce, which is about 80 psi.
With those tires it is hardly possible to
exceed the legal speed limit of 90Km/h, as the
tires might explode up and can cause severe
damage to vehicle and driver.
8. Minibuses are to be stripped of all safety
belts or make them unusable. This eases the
removal from corpses out of a wreck.
9. Imported cars, like Mercedes, Audi and
such, have a "built in" right of way, because
there is a great chance, that a member of the
Royal Thai Police is on his way, to enforce
these important rules.
