Permit or not it is happening.
FOX 5 TV has covered the ride on their website. The still pictures are the riders outside of Fort Washington Harley Davidson, which is just outside Washington DC.
The Facebook page for the rides sponsor, 2 Million Bikers to DC, is also being updated.

Regardless of your politics…. An interesting article about the Million Muslim March scheduled for September 11th and the proposed counter demonstration of Two Million Bikers to DC.
The fact that one was approved and one denied is a bit…disconcerting. Although I understand the traffic issues, I think it might have been faster safer to move the bikes though in one pass vs. stops at every light.
Vinnie DiMartino
Vinnie DiMartino was an integral part of rise of motorcycle TV. He was on American Chopper and Orange County Choppers: Senior vs. Jr and was a great “character” to both shows.
I have always been interested in what was going on around Vinnie and this article explains what he has been doing post Senior vs. Junior.
Spider or a Spyder
Can-AM is having problem where a break master cylinder melts and break fluid leaks onto a hot surface causing a fire. According to what I read no one has been hurt but better safe then sorry!
Here is a link to Can-AM’s notification webpage.
I rode in the Rattle The Runway Ride on the 8th of September. Below are photos from the event.
Recently I have had battery issues on my Harley Davidson Heritage Softail Classic. The battery does not hold a charge for more than one day of nonuse.
To connect my charger, I have to remove both seats and attach the clamps to the battery. As often as not the clamps would slip off and the battery fails to charge.
Harley has Battery Charging Harness with LED Charge Indicator for $14.95 (that’s right not HD (hundred dollar)). This product not only lets me charge or maintain the battery but flashes a red LED when it reaches a level that it requires charging. I bought the device at Frederick Harley Davidson.
Installation was straight forward: remove the seats, attach the leads to the battery, tuck in the fuse, zip tie the lead to the frame and put the seats back on. After I have used this for a while I will let you know what I think of product.
The HOG life
After doing the math it was cheaper in the long run to join as a HOG life member.
I have no idea where I would wear the pendent/medal, guess I will put it in my dealer/event pin collection. The patch I will put on my biker/pirate vest. 😉
The benefits of a life member are the same as a full member except I get the pin and patch… Oh, and do not have to pay the annual fees again.
Highway Patrol officers might want to check into this issue!
The Kawasaki Concours police bike is under recall due to the weak fuse in the electrical system. Seems that a fuse can blow and kill the engine…not something that you would want to happen at speed!
By now we all know that there is indeed a liquid cooled touring Harley.
I ran across this You Tube video on how the new system works. It is a video of a video (with poor sound) that someone shot at some Harley Davidson Event. But it describes, with animation, quite well how the new radiator in the lower fairing system works.
Check it out!
I JUST WANT 2 RIDE!!
