2017 Harley Davidson Commercial

2017 Harley Davidson Commercial

Yes, I really have to give Harley-Davidson a big thumbs up on this commercial. I think they did a great job not only promoting their brand but also motorcycling in general.

A huge percentage of the airtime was taken up with the blonde model rider. I think this did two things, first was implied that riding motorcycles is very sexy and second, and perhaps more importantly, show that riding big motorcycles is not exclusively for guys. (more…)

Motorcycle Synthetic Motor Oil – Worth the cost?

Motorcycle Synthetic Motor Oil

Although this video applies to automotive synthetic oil, the principles and conclusion drawn are equally applicable to motorcycle engines. I think this one video answers the ongoing question  of if it’s worth the additional cost to put synthetic motor oil in your motorcycle.

The viscosity of an oil is its resistance to flow. A greater viscosity means more resistance to flow, or a thicker oil. A lower viscosity means a thinner oil.

Before understanding the benefits of synthetic motor oils, like this Pennzoil Platinum derived from natural gas, we first need to understand the rating system used for motor oils. You’ll often hear 5W-30, or 0W-20 as ratings used in cars today. These are multi-grade viscosity oils, meaning their viscosity grade changes with temperature. The first number, followed by a W, is the cold rating (W stands for Winter), and this means the oil behaves like an SAE 5 grade motor oil (using 5W-30 as the example) while cold, but at operating temperature, at about 100 degrees C, it operates like an SAE 30 grade motor oil.

Motorcycle Gals

Motorcycle Gals

Who doesn’t really like to look at good-looking bikes and good-looking ladies? this is a five-minute slideshow type video of good-looking ladies posing with an assortment of good looking motorcycles.

Personally, I think it’s true . . .  good-looking big bikes attract good-looking ladies! I guess the same is true for good-looking hot rods or Lamborghinis or Corvettes!

Also, there can be no doubt that a lot of ladies are attracted to the ‘bad boy’ type image some motorcycle riders represent. Maybe the attraction also has to do with that adventurous spirit motorcycle riders represent  . . .  The exact opposite from the standard toyota prius/transgender bathroom/Disneyland masses. (more…)

Kawaski Ninja H2 vs Lamborghini

2000hp Lamborghini vs Kawaski Ninja H2

Kawasaki Ninja H2, a supercharged four-cylinder superbike that can rip off a sub-10-second quarter-mile time. The Ninja in this video appears to have been further modified to produce 245 horsepower at the wheel, allowing it to run an 8.34 second quarter-mile at 169 mph.

Even packing that sort of punch, the Ninja H2 falls before the might of the twin-turbo Lamborghini.

Hells Angels MC Westcoast – Documentary

These are criminals first, bikers a distant second. A suggestion for you wanna-be’s: Just ride, forget the rest of the BS.

This documentary is YEARS old!
All “Outlaw” clubs, or 1%’s, started off originally as clubs who enjoyed riding and maybe the occasional bar fight on a Saturday night. Now they’re criminals who are after the almighty dollar through Meth sales and distribution and other crimes. What a shame. As an avid chopper rider for years I can attest to the fact that 99% of REAL bikers are law abiding, love their families, and work honest jobs.
