I see a lot of motorcycle posters (or prints) on line and while I am out and about. From a group of 24 I came up with these 9 as my fav’s for 2015. Why 9? Because everyone does top 10 lists and 11 is just to much work!

Much like what I did with “9 Weird Motorcycles for 2015” I watched Facebook and Twitter for wild motorcycle helmet pictures.
I started with 12 entries (I copied the pictures to a special folder all year long) and here are the top nine wild motorcycles helmet pictures that made me go “that’s cool”.
OH, and while the “Turbo Visor” is not a helmet… I included it because I liked it! HA

Motorcycle Product Review: Harley Davidson Battery Charging Extension
Posted: January 15, 2016 in Motorcycle Rides, Product ReviewsTags: army bike, battery tender, Harley, Harley Davidson, HOG, Motorcycle, motorcycle blog, motorcycle riding, motorycle battery
To make it easier to connect the battery tender to the battery of my 2008 Heritage Classic (The Army Bike) I added a new part to the bike.
Harley has a Battery Charging Extension (part 99821-09) this $14.95 (that’s right not HD (hundred dollar)) product that not only lets me more easily charge or maintain the battery but also flashes a red LED when the battery reaches a level that it requires charging.
To connect my battery tender, before buying this product, 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 maintain charge. This device attaches to the battery and snakes down to the swing arm. I zip tied the business end to the swing arm to keep it in place and looking neat.
Installation was straight forward and it is working as advertised! I am give it 5 stars as it does what suppose to at a non-HD price.

Motorcycle TV: Being Evel
Posted: December 30, 2015 in Motorcycle TVTags: daniel junge, dare devil, Evel Knievel, Harley, Harley Davidson, History Channel, johnny knoxville, Motorcycle, motorcycle blog, motorcycle TV
The documentary on Evel Knievel by Johnny Knoxville is coming to the History Channel this weekend, Saturday the 2nd of January.
I had wanted to see it on the big screen but it did not come to my area. The reviews are 97% good on Rotten Tomatoes and the few viewer reviews I have seen have all been good. I will get to see it myself Saturday night. I hope I will be in good condition to watch as I will be riding in the local Frosty Balls ride the day before!
The description of the movie from the History Channel…..
“Academy Award-winning filmmaker Daniel Junge and actor/producer Johnny Knoxville take a candid look at American daredevil and icon Robert “Evel” Knievel, delivering thrills and spills, while also reflecting on the public’s voracious appetite for heroes and spectacle, and what that represents in ourselves.
A generation of Americans grew up worshipping self-styled hero Evel Knievel–watching him every Saturday on Wide World of Sports and buying his Ideal toys. Knieval was the ultimate antidote to the disenchantment of the 70’s. But few knew the incredible and often complex aspects of his epic life, which, like his jumps, was sometimes glorious and sometimes disastrous.
With an entire genre of sports ascending from his daring inventiveness, now is the time to look at this extreme man and his complicated legacy.”

Of course a picture of my bike would be in the top 9!
If you follow me on Twitter (@IJUSTWANT2RIDE) or Facebook you know I post and retweet a lot of cool motorcycle pics. At least what I think are cool pictures.
I went through those and picked out the 20 that I liked the best then sliced those down to my favorite nine. Why 9??… because everyone does 10 and 11 is too many!

Motorcycle TV: Full Throttle
Posted: December 15, 2015 in Motorcycle news, Motorcycle TV, RallyTags: full throttle saloon, Harley Davidson, michael ballard, Motorcycle, motorcycle blog, motorcycle riding, motorcycle TV, sturgis, Sturgis motorcycle rally
It is the same show as before, behind the scenes at the Full Throttle Saloon, with a few differences.
Michael Ballard and Jesse still argue over Jesse’s stunts. Fajita Mike still gets drunk and in trouble. Rowdy bikers still get into fights.
This season though, was smashed together with content from the 2014 and 2015 Sturgis rallies. I think that is because there was not going to be a 2015 series of Full Throttle.
I think that this season of the show was only the result of the “World’s Largest Biker Bar” burning down a couple months after the 2015 Rally. The fact that it is not on its normal home of TrueTV but
on Destination America (which barely has the show on its website) reinforces my thought about the show.
With three of five shows aired as I type. The primary reason to watch is that you get to meet Michael and Angie’s new baby Emily (and see Angie explode when she finds Jesse selling pictures of Emily, that was funny). You can also see Jesse ride the zip line while engulfed in flames… which was pretty cool, I mean hot! J
It will not be until the fifth and final episode of the season when we will get to see what the Ballard’s and Jesse decide regarding the future of the saloon. The best I can do is three stars, you can tell this was put together on the fly, trying to keep track that some of the show is 2014 and some 2015 is distracting.
I have enjoyed Full Throttle in the past and I hope they bring it back…if they try to rebuild the bar.
I JUST WANT 2 RIDE!!
