Eight custom chopper riders leave from the North Park area of San Diego for the short ride to Fifth Avenue in the Gaslamp Quarter. (more…)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The classic Harley-Davidson engines are V-twin engines, with a 45° angle between the cylinders. The crankshaft has a single pin, and both pistons are connected to this pin through their connecting rods.
This 45° angle is covered under several United States patents and is an engineering tradeoff that allows a large, high-torque engine in a relatively small space. It causes the cylinders to fire at uneven intervals and produces the choppy “potato-potato” sound so strongly linked to the Harley-Davidson brand.
To simplify the engine and reduce costs, the V-twin ignition was designed to operate with a single set of points and no distributor. This is known as a dual fire ignition system, causing both spark plugs to fire regardless of which cylinder was on its compression stroke, with the other spark plug firing on its cylinder’s exhaust stroke, effectively “wasting a spark”. The exhaust note is basically a throaty growling sound with some popping. The 45° design of the engine thus creates a plug firing sequencing as such: The first cylinder fires, the second (rear) cylinder fires 315° later, then there is a 405° gap until the first cylinder fires again, giving the engine its unique sound.

There are many dangers motorcycle riders face. But are you aware of tar snakes?
In Arizona riders call it “jello”. This crap, on 100 degree days acts more like jello than any tar I know of. Though not as bad as painted surfaces in cold rain, the jello is a problem. It’s such a subpar product and application. I hate when they use it on roads. It’s definitely less grip when it’s really hot or even when it’s raining and they eventually peel or break up exposing the crack again. The worst is when you see it on a straight road and there are hundreds of those. (more…)
Riding choppers down the Silver Strand to Imperial Beach Pier.
My bike is a 2017 Big Dog k9 clone and Steve’s bike is one that he built himself.

Harley M8 engine with blown head gasket.
Thanks for the informative video, all makes sense to me. Those that disagree with your cause and effect explanation are going to do so regardless of what you say and show, that’s just the shitty side of human nature. This issue is fairly prevalent talking to Harley people. I really believe your theory is plausible or even probable. (more…)
Ride from downtown San Diego over the Coronado Bridge.
The San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge is rapidly becoming a symbol of the San Diego area-just as the Golden Gate or San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridges. (more…)
This is a custom chopper ride on Coronado Island in San Diego California. We ride along the shoreline up to the hotel Del Coronado.
The motorcycles are a 2017 big dog K-9 clone and a custom-built one-off motorcycle. Only one camera was used for this ride, and that is the Insta360 One X. (more…)
