 NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
This month as we all sit down with our fami-
lies, friends and colleagues to give thanks for
the many blessings we have in our lives. It
is important for all of us to remember that
giving thanks is not just about the grand feast spread out
before us, the drink in our hand or the party invitations that are
rolling in. It is not just about stuffing our faces with turkey &
dressing or getting a few days off from work. Thanksgiving is a
time to reflect on what matters most in life; our health, the abil-
ity to walk and breathe freely, our families, friends and all that
we love and cherish. It is a time to remember those we have
lost and reach out to the many souls that are without or simply
lonely.
This year more than ever before there are families that need
our help. There are children going to bed hungry and too
many quality individuals without a penny in their pocket.
All too often we get caught up in our own lives and forget
about the lives of those around us. We forget that we all have
something to give, a story to share and a memory to make.
Giving comes in many forms. It may be your participation in a
charitable event or the can goods from your pantry. It may be
a moment of your time or as little as a penny from your pocket.
Regardless of the size of your donation, the simple gesture may
very well be a stranger’s saving grace.
So, as you carefully plan your feast and prepare your home for
the out of town guests, remember to add to those preparations
a simple gift of thanks. No matter the size, the gift certainly
will be well received and appreciated immensely. Remember
to stop and take a moment to give thanks to the many brave
souls who have fought and continue to fight for the gift of
freedom we all share and so often take for granted.
For me, this holiday is all about giving. Giving my time, giving
my love and giving anything I have of myself to not only those Bikes & Beauties
I love but, those in need. Check with your local community to needs some help!
see how you can be of service this Thanksgiving season, your
karma will repay you and your soul will thank you!
We are looking for a
God Bless!

HELMET BRAKE-JOB
By Murphomatic
This one was a recent
kcuf-up...
just last summer.
My girlfriend and I were
on a road trip around our
state of Oregon.  We had
pulled into Burns the first
night to get a room.  She sat
out with the bikes parked
alongside the sidewalk while
I hung my helmet off my
right mirror, and walked in
to get the keys.  Returning,
I hopped on the bike and
eyeing a spot just ahead
on the left, motored out
slowly.  She followed, and I
swung left to park in the
space.  Conveniently, the
helmet draped over my
right mirror, actuated the
front brake and brought the
bike to an immediate stop,
mid corner.  I felt like Wiley-
Coyote for a moment when
he suddenly realizes the
cliff-edge is 10 ft away, and
he pauses, blinks, and goes
falling to his doom.  Over I
went...  thud.  To add to the
joy of the moment, several
spaces down, a big group
of Harleys had pulled in
and parked, and were just
preparing to head in when I
presented them with a show
of sportbike prowess.  They

Gary IN out of the way at
the start of the trip. I was
meeting an old college
buddy, his wife and youn-
gun’s in East Jordan MI.

by the second knuckle of
your ring finger, left hand
-- if you get the analogy.
So I’ve been riding all

were great though and
helped me unlodge myself
from under the gear-laden
bike, and put it back on its
wheels.  The bike suffered
nothing more than a small
scuff on the tail piece, and
a 3” crack in the plastic on
the left mid-fairing, but
I tweaked my knee pretty
good trying to keep the bike
off the ground as much as
possible.   for bikers; especially good lookin
We stocked up on ibuprofen,
continued our trip and had
a wonderful time through
southern Oregon, dipping
into California and then
Nevada before breaking
back into the very most SE
corner of Oregon.  From
there we headed back up
toward John Day in the
Center of the state, and then
planned on heading toward
the the Idaho border and
some good camping in the
NE portion of the state.  6
miles south of John Day,
my rear-wheel bearings ate
themselves.  End of trip.  My
buddy brought my pickup
out and we hauled the bikes

Twenty minutes to the
second one and it’s filled.
Dusk now. What to do?
Can I make it all the way
to E. Jordan? It’ll be late
... what’s that? A pri-
vate campground! I hope
they’re not filled too. I
pulled up to the snack
shop check-in hut and
yes, they were filled. Un-
less I wanted to stay on
Gilligan’s Island. Sure ...
uh, what’s that?
That’s what they called
the grassy cul-de-sac that
campers pulled in and out
around. It had a fire pit
and trees.
I went to the store for
some cheap red wine,
Soleo. I even got carded,
and I was thirty seven.
READER’S WRITES
First Impressions Count...
There simply is not enough bandwidth
to regale you with all the public
displays of “aquiring humility” I’ve
suffered. I will, however, share two:
I was 20 or so, and I had just started
out on a ‘round the Great Lakes
tour/blitz’. I was in a fine little glass
fronted restaurant somewhere on
the outskirts of Thunder Bay, taking
in an early dinner, whilst looking for
a place to spend the night. Being the
age that I was, and ever optomistic,
I struck up a conversation with the
truley lovely young thing that was
lucky enough to serve me that
evening. Turns out she had a thing
tall Nordic ones; and I managed to
wrangle an invitation to “socialize”,
as she was just getting off shift.
 I sauntered up to my trusty steed,
parked in front of the glass fronted
(and full) restaurant, an unfiltered
Pall Mall perched rakishly in the
corner of my mouth, while my
new friend looked on raptly. I sat
sidesaddle leaning away from the
bike so I could impress my new
friend with my casual competence,
casually inserted the key, and
thumbed the starter...and promptly
fell on my ass, as the bike was in
gear and lurched off the side stand.
Both the bike and I tumbled into a
heap in front of a couple hundred
diners, and my new paramore.
I slept in a tent that night...alone.
And for good measure:
I had been roadracing at Brainard for
a couple of years with little success;
convinced that what I needed was
more power (I later came to learn
that what I really lacked was both
skill and nerve).
Now, racing 250 modifieds, more
power is a relative thing. Like one
or two more HP for many hundreds
of dollars spent. So...me and my
buddy spent the winter reading
tech bulletins, teaching ourselves
to use die grinders for porting jobs,
a welder to weld up the pressed
cranks and build our own expansion
chambers. Well, like all good 19-20
year-olds, after much research and
experimentation, suddenly the
racing season was nearly upon us,
I thanked the man by doing
my best Nixon impersonation:
“When I was born, Ike was
president.” I never expected
him to laugh so hard at such
a stupid joke. I gave him per-
mission to use it.
After cooking up a little meal
in my mess kit, I sat back on
my machine with the bottle of
wine, the center stand down
and waited for the tremen-
dous meteor shower that was
going to happen pretty soon.
Well, riding for eight hours,
and a can of Spaghetti-O’s
doesn’t give one much base
for a bottle of wine. So as I’m
sitting there looking straight
up, the sky shifted really fast
first race dates were set, and the
late-night garage thrashing began.
So, come the first practice morning,
what we had was a cobbled
together monstrosity that somehow
managed to pass inspection, if only
with 10 minutes left on the last
practice on the third go-around
with a little pleading with the
inspectors. So we raced back to
the pit, I got my (taped together)
leathers on,  hit the run switch and
pushed it down pit lane, hopped
on the seat, dropped the clutch
and was rewarded with a loud
studdering popping and BANG, that
sucker took off like it never had
before. I was THRILLED. Our mods
ACTUALLY WORKED. I made it all
the way around that first lap with
nothing untoward happening to all
our work, and as I came around turn
ten, I was directed onto the back of
the grid.
It was common for club races those
days to be a bit less, ah, formally
run, and apparently there were not
enough entries in my class to run
at the appointed time, so we were
just lumped in with a couple other
classes...NOW.
Suck it up, pull in the clutch,
make certain I had shifted into
first, one minute sign up...blip
the throttle to keep the Casrtol
R from puddling and fouling
plugs...starter’s getting ready...

smoke out the back, turn the
throttle...baahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhh all the way around the
track, going slower and slower and
slower till I coast into the pits.
Try as we might, that sucker would
not run...got gas, got spark...nothin’.
When I tore the jugs off later that
week, I found the rags that we leave
in the carbs to keep foreign objects
out....impacted into the tranfer
ports.
Ya’ll have a nice day.
and I was laying under my mo-
torcycle on the ground. I must
have lost my balance while
I was sitting there and just
leaned off, taking the bike
with me. At least that’s all
I could figure out. I mean, it
was on the center stand, and
that’s pretty secure. After
looking around and surmis-
ing that none of the families
camping nearby saw me, I
picked up the machine and
nonchalantly set it back up.
This time I sat on a log
near the fire, hoping that it
wouldn’t catch on fire, with
my luck that night. Oh yeah,
the meteor shower was fan-
tastic. -- Anonymous

Delivering the
Double Whammy!
s I sit here month after month
clicking away I have been
filled with a myriad of emo-
tions; from happy to sad,
elated to freaking mad. From pissed off
to overjoyed, used and abused to needed
and loved. Regardless of each week’s de-
livery one thing remains the same. Every
month when I sit down to write this ar-
ticle, there are always three common de-
nominators. The first is my least favorite,
I’m working. The second commonality is
my spectacular view of lush tropical land-
scape filled with blooming Bougainvillea,
Mexican Fire, Philippine Violets and finally
the third denominator is me, my thoughts
and my own feelings.
This month as I began to write my little
corner of emotion, I was still on the wed-
ding high. My first draft was a rambling
bunch of overjoyed mush about the “hap-
pily ever after” until real life came calling.
On the other end of the line was my Mom-
my. We caught up and talked about all the
normal things then she said, “I have to tell
you something.” “Okay, what?” I replied.
For some reason I knew that whatever it
was, it wasn’t good. She said,“I have Breast
Cancer, it’s not big...” Regardless of what
came after that sentence, I really have no
idea what she said. I listened and asked
a few questions then quickly changed
the subject and went back to all of the
small talk and catching up. It wasn’t be-
cause I didn’t care or was brushing off the
negative; it was simply my need to keep
on living. A few months before the wed-
ding my Dad had surgery for Cancer, after
a few scares shortly after he has been on
the road to recovery now for a few weeks.
The delivery of the second blow opened
my eyes and reminding me of the mag-
nitude each of our lives carries, the great
blessing it is to walk and breathe daily.
Receiving the Double Whammy wake-up
call illuminated the importance of healthy
living. Our body is our temple and it is up
to us to see that it is free of toxins and op-
erating at peak performance. The Mayo
Clinic offers these guidelines for cancer
prevention.
1. Don’t use tobacco – Tabacco has been
linked to many forms of cancer. Avoid-
ing tobacco — or deciding to stop using
it — is one of the most important health
decisions you can make. It’s also an impor-
tant part of cancer prevention. If you need
10 BIKES & BEAUTIES • NOVEMBER 2010
help quitting tobacco, ask your doctor
about stop-smoking products and oth-
er strategies to help you quit.
2. Eat a healthy diet – Making healthy
choices at the grocery store and at
meal time may not guarantee cancer
prevention but it is a lifestyle choice de-
creasing your risk of cancer. Please con-
sider these guidelines.
• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Base
your diet on mostly fruits, vegetables and
other foods from plant sources, including
beans and whole grains.
• Limit fat. Eat lighter and leaner. By
choosing fewer high-fat foods, especially
those from animal sources. Studies have
found hat high-fat diets tend to be higher
in calories and may increase the risk of
being overweight. Obesity can increase
your risk of cancer.
• Drink alcohol in moderation. The risk of
breast, colon, lung, kidney and liver can-
cer increases with the amount of alcohol
you drink and the length of time you’ve
been drinking regularly.
3. Maintain a healthy weight and include
physical activity in your daily routine -
Maintaining a healthy weight may lower
the risk of cancer of the breast, prostate,
lung, colon and kidney. In addition to
helping you control your weight, physical
activity may lower the risk of breast can-
cer and colon cancer. Include at least 30
minutes of physical activity in your daily
routine.
4. Protect yourself from the sun - Skin
cancer is one of the most common kinds
of cancer and one of the most prevent-
able.
• Avoid midday sun. Stay out of the sun
between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. That is when
the sun’s rays are strongest.
• Stay in the shade. Sunglasses and a
broad-rimmed hat help but, the shade is
where it’s at.
• Cover exposed areas. Wear tightly wo-
ven, loose fitting clothing that covers as
much of your skin as possible.
• Don’t skimp on sunscreen. Use generous
amounts of sunscreen when you’re out-
doors, and reapply often.
• Avoid tanning beds and sunlamps. These
are just as damaging as natural sunlight.
5. Get immunized - Cancer prevention in-
cludes protection from certain viral infec-
tions. As noted by the Mayo Clinic:
Hepatitis B. Hepatitis B can increase the
risk of developing liver
cancer. The hepatitis B vac-
cine is routinely given to in-
fants. It’s also recommended
for certain high-risk adults —
such as adults who are sexually active but
not in a mutually monogamous relation-
ship, men who have sex with men, and
health care or public safety workers who
might be exposed to infected blood or
body fluids.
Human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a
sexually transmitted virus that can lead to
cervical cancer. The HPV vaccine is avail-
able to both men and women age 26 or
younger who didn’t have the vaccine as
an adolescent
6. Avoid risky behaviors - Avoiding risky
behaviors that can lead to infections that,
in turn, may increase the risk of cancer. For
example:
• Practice safe sex. Limit your number of
sexual partners, and use a condom when
you do have sex. The more sexual partners
you have in your lifetime, the more likely
you are to contract a sexually transmitted
infection — such as HIV or HPV. People
who have HIV or AIDS have a higher risk
of cancer of the anus, cervix, lung and im-
mune system. HPV is most often associ-
ated with cervical cancer, but it may also
increase the risk of cancer of the anus, pe-
nis, throat, vulva and vagina.
• Don’t share needles. Sharing needles
with an infected drug user can lead to HIV,
as well as hepatitis B and hepatitis C —
which can increase the risk of liver cancer.
If you’re concerned about drug abuse or
addiction, seek professional help.
7. Take early detection seriously - Regular
self-exams and professional screening for
various types of cancers — such as can-
cer of the skin, colon, prostate, cervix and
breast — can increase your chances of
discovering cancer early, when treatment
is most likely to be successful. Ask your
doctor about the best cancer screening
schedule for you.
Take cancer prevention into your own
hands, starting today. It is up to each and
every one of us to make the right choices
in terms of our heath.

 SKIN CARE CORNER
BREAST CANCER &
SELF BREAST EXAMS
In the United States alone, 1 in 8 women will develop invasive
breast cancer in their lifetime. Benefits of taking the proper pre-
cautions early on may result in discovering any abnormalities
and cancerous cells that can be treated or removed. Many doc-
tors take various measures to find the cancer but the most com-
monly used and often recommended is a Mammography along
with a clinical breast exam. Many doctors have mixed feelings
about self breast exams and though it isn’t the most effective way
to find a mass, there are benefits, and limitations.
A self breast exam is a method of feeling your breasts for any abnor-
malities, lumps or growths you may not see right away. It requires examining
your breasts in the mirror and feeling them for any unusual changes. When
breast cancer is detected in its early stages, your chances of survival greatly
increase.Though a self breast exam may detect a cancerous mass, you should
report to your doctor for any conclusive results as well as any questions you
may have.
When you choose to do a self breast exam there are different methods, and
steps you need to take to ensure you examine thoroughly.

Standing up, in front of the mirror:

• Standing in a well lit room, in front of a large mirror, undressed from the
waist up, look at your breast in their natural state. A difference in the size and
shape is common, don’t be alarmed if they are not symmetrical. With your
arms relaxed at your sides look for any changes in size, shape, position, or any
changes in the skin. Look for any skin puckering, dimpling, sores, or discolora-
tion and inspect your nipples for sores, peeling or change in direction.
• Next, place your hands on your hips and press firmly to tighten the chest
muscles. Turn your body from side to side do you can inspect your breasts
from all angles.
• In the same stance, bend toward the mirror and roll your shoulders and
elbow forward tightening your chest muscles again. Your breasts will fall
forward and you should look for any changes in shape and contours.
• Standing up straight again, clasp your hands behind your head and press
firmly. Again, turn from side to side to examine all angles. Don’t forget to ins-
pect the underside of your breast which may require lifting with your hand.
• Check your nipples for discharge by placing your thumb and forefinger on
either side of the tissue surrounding the nipple, and pull outward and away
from you. Look for any discharge and repeat on the other breast.

Standing in the shower:

• Having your hands slippery with soap and water helps in checking for
lumps. Place one hand on your hip and with your free hand begin at your
underarm area and check for any unusual masses. Switch hands and repeat
on other breast.
• Raise one arm over and behind your head to help spread out the breast tis-
sue. Using the flat part of your fingers from the other hand press gently into
the breast following an up-and-down pattern along the breast moving from
the collar bone to the bra line. Continue this pattern until you have covered
the entire breast and repeat on the other side.
• Don’t forget to check for lumps or thickening above and below your collar
bone.

Lying down:
• Lie down and place a small pillow or folded towel under your right shoulder
and place that hand behind your head. Place your left hand on the upper
portion of the right breast with your fingers together and flat. Body lotion
may help make this part easier.
• Thinking of your breast as the face of a clock, start at 12 o’clock and move
toward 1 o’clock in small circular motions. Continue around the breast until
you reach the beginning point keeping your fingers together and consis-
tently in contact with the skin. When the circle is complete, move your fingers
one inch closer to the nipple and repeat the process. Do this until you have
felt the entire breast and don’t forget to include the outer areas that extend
into your armpit.
• Place your fingers flat and directly on top of your nipple, and feel for any
changes. Gently press inward, it should move easily.
Repeat these steps on the other breast.

If you discover any changes in your breasts, contact your doctor or health
care provider.

As with any medical conditions, this is not a self diagnosis.

Contact your doctor with any questions or concerns.

Our Wedding
N ever in our lives could we have imag-
ined a day would come, that we would love
someone so much that we would want to
take the leap of faith and say “I do”. Yet on
Saturday, October 16, 2010 at twelve o’clock
in the afternoon we met on the front porch
of the country club where I grew up and
began our new life’s journey together in
marriage. The afternoon was met with
translucent cobalt skies illuminating the
golf course and creating the perfect land-
scape in our great adventure. We filled the
white plantation with our family and clos-
est friends to celebrate the beginning of our
happily ever after. Never would we have
imagined that our fairy tale would bring
us to the happiest day of our adult lives.
All of the images from our wedding day
depicted on this page and throughout this

BIKETOBERFEST 2010
E very October, bikers from around the country journey to Volusia County,
Florida for the annual Biketoberfest. The 18th Annual motorcycle weekend
of mayhem kicked off the second week of October with crystal clear skies and
mild temperatures in the low eighties. With an estimated 100,000 motorcyclist
making their way across the state to ramble in for the festivities the week was
looking like a photographers dream across the sapphire blue horizon! For many
bikers, Central Florida in October is just another reason to load up their saddle-
bags and plant two wheels on the road. More than ever this year’s event was a
conglomerate of bikers who prefer the smaller crowds Biketoberfet offers, mostly
local Floridians, diehards and weekend warriors. Any rider who’s done the biker
crawl up International Speedway Blvd. or up A1A around Main Street knows exactly what I mean
and totally relate. The Biketoberfest rally might not have to chaotic crowds and plethora of
motorcycle racing as March’s Bike Week but, there is still plenty of fun to be had. From the Rate’s
Hole Bike Show featuring 22 classes of customs to the Chili & Chaps event in New Smyrna Beach
on Flagler Avenue. And although Biketoberfest may not be known for its musical lineup, there
were still plenty of live shows to entertain the masses. Like the Jam for America Concert featu-
ring Gretchen Wilson, John Anderson, Bucky Covington, Chris Cagle and The Dear Jane Girls at
City Island Park in Downtown Daytona Beach or the Jamfest 2010 featuring Uncle Kracker, Tracy
Lawrence, Wade Williams, Anthony Wild and the Suspects, Mandy Brooke and Crashrocket. And

Friday, October 9, 2010 we took a ride over to the Mar-
di Gras Casino for the Big Bike Riders Children’s Foun-

was kicked off by a very scrumptious buffet before the
meet and greet with the comedians Doug Schnetzka
and Bobby Collins. Both entertainers were very gra-
cious with their time mingling with the guests. The
meet and greet was filled with both bikers and the
non biker community.
Just as the show was about to begin we took our seat
up front with a bird’s eye view thanks to Ron Catro-
nio who is quite the comedian himself. The opening
belly buster was delivered by local comedian, Doug
Schnetzka who brought everyone to tears with his
antics about his super mutant parents and alien ab-

ducted sister and how some freaks love their pets just
a little too much. To say Doug has a distorted view of
the world and his live is an understatement he is one
comedian everyone should see at least once. I should
have worn waterproof mascara and a Depends diaper
for headliner, Bobby Collins. It was nonstop laughter
with his characterizations and ability to tailor his per-
formance his audience and venue. We all know that
South Florida is rich material for comedians between
Boca, Hallandale and everywhere in between.

Carnival in Miami has had an un-

and moving several times to find
it’s home in Miami Gardens.
Carnival is a celebration of free-
dom that started throughout the
Caribbean. There are many styles
of celebration but Miami Carnival
is rooted in style of carnival found
in Trinidad and Tobago. Derived
of groups with elaborate names
and themes. Each group known as
(mass camps) will have many dif-
ferent sections with different cos-
tumes. Each section plays a part in
the theme. Such as if the theme was
“Heaven and Hell” one section will
be angels in all white and the other
section will be devils dressed in all
red with horns and pitch forks.
Each Mass camp is represented
by a truck with huge speakers and
D.J’s playing Soca (calypso) music.
Usually the music represents the
Mass camps theme.
Each camp promotes year round,
usually it’s a convenient store, res-
taurant, clothing store or hair salon
ect. A few months before carnival
they will have a launch party. That’s
when the theme of the year and
costumes will go on display and
for sale. The business will have vari-
ous parties before carnival and by
carnival everyone will know each
other.
The truck and Mass camp will go
across “the stage” where they will
be judged and prizes given.

There is something about the chrome yellow
with flames and black steel laced wheels that
take me back the days of Easy Rider and the
blur that is the 1970’s. Just as the title im-
plies, the Dyna Wide Glide is truly a gem in the
developmental history of Harley - The bike con-
tinues to be touted as the best handling big-
twin in Harley’s lineup and deservingly so.
Before I get started on the review, first a bit of
history on the development of the Dyna Chas-
sis... Throughout the 70’s, Harley Davidson had
undergone some significant changes- involve-
ment of AMF etc. In the late 70’s, the mo-
tor company needed some new excitement to
spruce up the V-twin aura. Then entered the
Low Rider with its slammed rear wheel suspen-
sion. The Low Rider, like what would even-
tually become the wide-glide, was built on a
chassis very different from the Harley hard-tail/
soft-tail design. The rear suspension had a dif-
ferent style swing arm which help incorporate
much more performance oriented geometry to
make the chassis a more ideal highway-riding
motorcycle. In the late-mid eighties, the evo-
lution engine became even more notorious for
being a vibrating beast - a true “knock your
fillings out” motor, some severely undesirable
traits for those looking to hold onto their fill-
ings on longer rides. This made for ideal ex-
perimentation with a rubberized engine-mount
design which became an instant success. It
made the shake-and-break big-twin EVO friend-
lier and more capable for touring on non-electra
glide models. With the introduction of the
rubber-mount dyna-chassis, it had a sharper
more aggressive looking big-twin that was a
lot lighter than the Electra Glide when weighed
down by luggage and a big beefy front end. In
short, Harley had taken a sportster-style front
end, and incorporated it with a newly designed
back-end, Dyna suspension and added rubber
mounting to make the whole thing an ideal all-
day rider!
On the road, the Wide Glide is a dream and
26 BIKES & BEAUTIES • NOVEMBER 2010
lives up to its reputation. The front end really
comes alive in winding roads. Combined with
the Dyna chassis, the bike really shines and is
unlike most other Harley- Davidson’s, particu-
larly the softtails. The Dynas were designed
to handle better- bikes like the low-rider, con-
vertible and dyna-glide (The Wide Glide’s sister
bikes in the dyna line) all share great handling
characteristics - but none so much as the Wide
Glide!! Thanks to its namesake wider front
end. The pull of the big-twin EVO makes hard-
power sweeper turns a pleasure, obviously, no
downshifting required- the engine pulls in a very
linear manner throughout the better portion of
the rev range.
In terms of accessories, the wide glide comes
equipped with a lot of chrome and those gor-
geous laced wheels - 21” for the front! Nice
touch! Combined with the ape hangers, bob-tail
fender and chrome accentuation, the bike is a
delight to look at even in stock form. Truly, still
one of the most attractive Harley’s around and
well deservedly known for having “The Best
Front End Harley Ever Produced” The Wide
Glide is as capable as a highway long-haul tour-
ing bike as it is an around town “jaws drop-
ping” sharp looking Hog.
A spectacular bike and clearly one of the pin-
nacles of Harley Davidson’s motorcycle line-up.
The American Tradition continues, only this
time, it continues with road-manners and han-
dling characteristics that are truly way above
for the motor company. A wonderful bike truly
worth every penny, fantastically done, Harley
Davidson!

Recently, I watched two differ-
ent documentaries, one was
180° South. It is about a 1968
journey from Southern Califor-
nia to Patagonia (south most re-
gion of South America) in an old
bus loaded with climbing gear
and surf boards. Navigating this
journey was Yvon Chouinard,
a revolutionary blacksmith,
climber, environmentalist and
businessman. He has contribut-
ed significantly to the sport of
climbing through his technical
equipment with his companies
Black Diamond and Patagonia
Clothing Company, as well as
his latest book “Let My People
Go Surfing.” Sitting next to him
was Doug Tompkin, the founder
of The North Face and co-owner
of the Espirit clothing company.
After reading the book Deep
Ecology: Living as if Nature Mat-
tered, Tompkins sold his share
of Esprit, and began concentrat-
ing all of his energy on the de-
fense of nature. Beginning with
a purchase 1,000 acres of forest
in Chile, Doug and his wife Kris
have expanded this reserve to
a massive 2.2 million acres in
both Chile and Argentina.
The other documentary “ BUD-
DAH”. Buddhism (Pali/Sanskrit:
Buddha Dharma) is a religion
and philosophy encompassing
a variety of traditions, beliefs
and practices, largely based
on teachings attributed to Sid-
dhartha Gautama, commonly
known as the Buddha (Pāli/San-
skrit “the awakened one”). The
Buddha lived and taught in the
northeastern Indian subconti-
nent some time between the
6th and 4th centuries BCE.[2]
He is recognized by Buddhists
as an awakened or enlightened
teacher who shared his insights
to help sentient beings end suf-
fering (or dukkha), achieve nir-
vana, and escape what is seen
as a cycle of suffering and re-
birth. Wikipedia

to one’s belief and though they
do not seem related by any
means I found them both to be
profound and somewhat equal
in certain meanings. I, like most,
work, play, love my children and
family going through day to
day doing what it is that I do.

When watching commentaries
such as these I am brought to
the thought of meaning and
“what is” it? What am I to it and
how are we all related? My re-
flection is enlightened as I think
of the ones I love, the times I
have shared, places I’ve seen
and the people whom I have
met. Yet at the same a dismal
feeling shadows over. What
have I really learned? What have
I really taught? And, How will I
be remembered when I am
gone? Growing mentally and
spiritually (not religiously ) are
signs of age and wisdom and
to pass that life experiences is
such a grand event, we are all
connected through energy in
my belief.
These documentaries were
wonderful in the fact that they
brought a heavier thought into
the mundane of my day to day
processes. They helped to open
my mind into reaching for
something new to learn about
myself, my neighbor, my world
and hopefully that will transpire
into a grand new adventure. I
would like to think of a way to
contribute and give back. Ad-
venture somewhere that teach-
es me something knew about
me and my brother...
Somewhere so untouched by
the human desire and greed
that the mind is able to open
and experience the meaning of
my life.
Hhhhmm as I wonder where
will I go! Let’s see Greek Islands,
remote villages around the
world, Hawaii …(probably Dis-
ney World again) and one of
our wonderful event bars! But
at least I’m thinking!!

I CAN’T SLEEP. AGAIN. ANOTHER
NIGHT OF FALLING DOWN AT
ABOUT 2 O’CLOCK, TOSSING AND
TURNING A DOZEN TIMES AND BE-
ING QUITE AWAKE BY 5 O’CLOCK. I
CAN’T REALLY REMEMBER WHEN
THE LAST TIME I SLEPT THRU A
NIGHT WAS. I’M TIRED.
I’m watching this HBO commer-
cial on their “Brave new voices”
blacks urban poetry program.
I’ve seen it before. I can’t unders-
tand half the shit they talk about
most of the time, but most of it is
complaining about how hard life
is for them. Maybe we have more
things in common than I first
thought?
I start fantasizing about my own
poem. ”From the distance, it was
love at first sight. Since the mo-
ment I knew your name, I wanted
it to be with you”. It is my poem
speaking of this country. Of how I
fall in love with it and now it broke
my heart. You took me when I was
only 21 years old, young, strong, I
could eat the world. It didn’t mat-
ter how complicated things were
between us, I was going to make
it work. I was young, good loo-
king and with a 32 inch waist size.
Today I’m bald, overweight and
beat. I feel very middle age. You
took the best 20 years of my life
and when you were done with me
you spit me off like an old piece of
gum. At some point I was the guy
that could do anything and made
more money than most, and now
I can’t seem good enough to get
a motherfucking five hundred do-
llar a week job. Is it that after 20
years and when I can use what I
learned thru life I’m not useful
anymore? Tell me where I went
wrong? What can I do to change
our history together? I can chan-
ge, baby… just give me a chance!
Sure, I am not blame-free. I fucked
up enough times to have earned a
much different situation than the
one I’m in today. But we all did. We
all fucked up here and there, and
got away with it, and learned from
it. It is part of life, right? You learn
thru your experiences and use
those experiences to your favor
in the next time the need arises. I
can see the moron that is reading
this and saying “F*ck you, beaner!
Get out of my country, you ino-
rant mofoker, eeeha!” Sure, no one
owes me anything and I’m here
by choice, I guess. But I earned it.
No one owes you a fucking thing
either, and you should be asha-
med for having the privilege of
being born in the best country
in the world, with all the oppor-
tunities that came with it, and
chose to be a toothless, ignorant
motherf*cker that isn’t but two
inches above me. Shame on you,
f*cker. I can complain becau-
se I made the choice and gave
everything to this country, while
you been sliding by because you
just happened to be born here,
and I’m a 41 year old, unemplo-
yed guy with a beautiful family
and worried about how to ma-
nage to keep it going, with my
heart broken and waiting for a
good break while you’re waiting
for grandma to die so you can
move into her 1977 double wide
with Peggy Sue Lee Ann and her
7 kids. You’re getting shitted as
bad as I do, or perhaps worse, but
don’t feel entitled to pass judg-
ment on others because of where
you were born. Perhaps we both
got our heart broken by the same
lady, me by choice and you by
right, but broken the same.
I hear all these idiots on tv, talking
about how the other fellow poli-
tician has been fucking up, and
how they don’t agree with this
and that. But the truth is there is
no solution coming from them.
They are all the same, tainted by
the Almighty green and with a
soul already sold to a million di-
fferent bidders trying to squeeze
another buck out of us. The Tea
party, the Democrats, the Repu-
blicans, the Independents… All
a sack of shit if you ask me. Why
would they fix our problems?
Why would they educate us? Why
would they allow us to be healthy,
physically and mentally? Anyone
that took a little bit of time rea-
ding about history knows the
best way to squeeze the most out
of the population is to keep them
ignorant, sick, worried and afraid.
If for once they allow is to think,
be healthy and open minded,
we might catch up to their tricks
and try to change things around.
The thing is they seem to forget
that people have their limits, and
at some point the pressure will
become too much for too many.
I mean, if the French got to that
point and started a revolution, I’m
sure we are still capable in here.
6:30 already. Time to get some co-
ffee going, because I have to deal
with another day. Writing helps
me I guess, and for a little bit my
heart is not hurting. I can even
entertain the thought of taking a
15 minute nap.
I hope my story
isn’t yours, and if it
is… you might find
comfort in knowing
you’re not the only
guy that couldn’t
sleep tonight.

 ON THE WATER WITH BIMINI JIM
Bear Country
This month I will spin you a tale of the land! After stressing for days, over some medical
issues I got very good news!  All tests done by the cardiologist came back great!  So back
to feeling myself I decided to head to North Carolina.
THE DESTINATION WAS MT. PISAGH ON THE BLUE RIDGE
PARKWAY SOMEWHERE AROUND MILE MARKER 410, EL-
EVATION 5721, JUST SOUTH OF ASHEVILLE. THE WEATHER
WAS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PERFECT, BRILLIANT BLUE
CLOUDLESS SKIES CREATING THE PERFECT LANDSCAPE
FOR THE SPECTACULAR FALL FOLIAGE TO RADIATE THE
PERFECT BACKDROP.   
At night it would fall
into the thirties and
quickly rebound back
in to the high sixties.
With a roaring camp-
fire and plenty of spi-
rits to dull our senses
floating around the
thirties felt great!!
Sipping and shooting
the breeze we sat
around the crackling
fire. It was the perfect
beginning.
Over our earthy ex-
cursion I was mentoring a
friend on how to use his new
Nikon digital camera. We set
out to learn long exposures of
the many waterfalls along the
Blue Ridge Parkway.  The Blue
Ridge is a bikers dream, no red
lights and plenty of twists and
winding turns. We saw plen-
ty of bikers along the way and a lot of hunters tracking
bears. The hunters were using specially trained dogs
outfitted with radio beacons on their collars. The dogs
shared the same trails that we were traveling! They calcu-
lated hunting mates were being very active, barking and
sniffing as they tracked. We couldn’t help but fantasize
and hope we would capture a photograph
of the dogs with some
bears!!  It was now get-
ting late and we wanted
to see the Harvest Moon
rise over the mountain
pass so, we hiked back to
camp and restarted our
campfire.  I pioneered to
scout out the best loca-
tion to acquisition the
moonrise. I ended up
at the Pisgah Inn, which
has an awesome restau-
rant with 360 views of
the breath taking Blue
Ridge Mountains. They
also have a bar set up
www.bikesbeauties.com
outside on the deck with
a collection of rocking
chairs so, I picked a spot
and sampled some vino
called Dancing Bear!
The name sounded ap-
propriate.
With my whistle mois-
tened I headed back
to the campsite and to
indulge in some home-
made meat stew before position my
shutter for the moonrise. Unfortunately the low cloud
cover hindered our sites and turned our moonrise into
a dud. We ended up with a fascinating sunset instead. 
We packed up and headed back to camp to rest, partake
in a few more spirits and tell stories to the young wo-
men camping next to us from Macon, Georgia. Just as
the wind started to blow and the fire began to fade I took
the opportunity to crash early. I nodded out rather quic-
kly slipping deeply into a fantastic slumber. That is until
I awoke in the middle of the night to bottles and cans
being tossed about. That meant only one thing!    The
bears were here!!!!!! There were two of them, a mother
bear and her cub!  Now every one of us was awake and
frozen still in the tent! None of us quite sure what to do
or what would happen next. After swiping at our water
bag left hanging in the tree, the bears made their way
into the bed of the truck. They finished off a bag of Cape
Cod potato chips before finally making their exit. Not
quite what we had expected when thinking of getting
close enough for a few shots of the bears. The next day
the Park Rangers told us the same bears had also broken
a car window and sucked down a four- pack of Red
Bulls!!!  Now that would have been a
sight to photograph, real live dancing
bears!

Stupid
Election Sh*t!
Ok! So is it just me or does everyone
hate election time and all the f#$%cked
up commercials that come with it?
THERE ARE COMMERCIALS ON THE RADIO, TV AND
BILLBOARDS. HELL, THEY ARE EVERYWHERE AND
THEY ALL SUCK ASS REALLY BAD! THIS IS THE TIME
OF YEAR THAT I AM SO THANKFUL FOR MY DVR, MY
IPOD AND MY CD PLAYER. There is no god damn rea-
son for anyone to be able to quote political commer-
cials. Every single candidate has created a message
that is just a non-stop bitch sessions telling us how
crappy of a job their opponent will do and not one of
them telling us how they are going to help us, what
they can do to fix things, what they are going to give
us or what they will do for us. Instead it is all just a
bunch of peer bashing bullshit. The other day I heard
one political hopeful using his mommy for his com-
mercial. Come on, your Mother doing a commercial
for you?! Grow the f#$ck up!!
What gets me is, asshole #1 comes on in a commer-
cial and bitches about asshole #2, the very next ad
is asshole #2 coming on to bitch about asshole #1!!
Really??!!? WTF!!! If we are going to get bombed
nonstop with political commercials then let me tell
you what the hell we want you to say:
#1 Name what you will change about the way things
are done in this country?
#2 What do you agree with and what are you going
to do to ensure those things stay the same?
That’s it!!! Don’t tell me how crappy your opponent
is or what you think he or she stands for. Let them
tell me what they are for and let me choose what to
think and how to view them, you educating me about
the bullshit they did in college or some other crap is
just that, crap. Everyone hates the stupid bashing
that happens during election years. It is bad enough
the reputation that politicians have with the public.
All you are accomplishing with all the political bad
mouthing is making yourselves look like even bigger
asses then we already know you are. I’m sick of the
crap so stop it for God’s sake and I bet I’m not the
only one!!

B Y: A S S H O L E J E F F
“You have not yet enjoyed the pleasures of
life until someone has sneezed on your balls!”
There is one particular ass-monger I want to dedicate this column to and his name is
Dan French, Chairman of the Atlantic Housing Partners group.
THIS FRIGGIN DOUCHE AND HIS COMPANY FOR SOME
REASON BELIEVE IT IS RACIST TO DISAGREE WITH
BUILDING LOW INCOME AND SECTION EIGHT HOUSING
IN THE TOWN OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA WHERE I
LIVE. IS IT, OR IS IT RACIST OF HIM TO ASSUME THAT
BECAUSE HE BUILDS LOW INCOME HOUSING THAT HIS
TENANTS WILL BE PREDOMINANTLY NON-WHITE?
It doesn’t matter I guess because whenever a town
starts to oppose his projects he just throws down the
racism card and the city gives approval. It happened
in Oviedo, Fl where just the mention of a study on how
his property could affect crime levels in the city was
met with a lawsuit on the basis of racism. After all as
it states on their website, seventy percent of the crime
committed in towns where he has built this housing was
done by people not living on the property. Really? So in
other words, thirty percent of crime committed in cities
where he built a property was committed by residents of
one location? I feel better knowing that.
It is not that I believe I am any better than anyone
but I do not see the need for the housing. We already
have low income housing in the area, it’s called Sanford.
I also checked with the local Country clubs and they are
all fully staffed with groundskeepers and there are no
openings with any of the local landscaping companies
so there would be a definite lack of opportunities for the
people residing there. Being the little researcher I am
I also looked into other hardships the residents could
face. The local grocery does not have a malt liquor
section and no one there can habla. Same is true at
the liquor store unless you want to habla in Pashtu but
they at least have a Heineken cooler and a whole row of
Hennessey! We only have one gas station in the imme-
diate area and there is a steep incline going into which
will cause a lot of hardship when they have to push their
cars into it to buy another gallon of petrol on the third of
each month. Wait for it, wait for it….
Usually people choose an area to live in by the cul-
ture of the area. Things like schools, proximity to work,
and availability of social events are important to any
www.bikesbeauties.com
-Gandhi, 1934
neighborhood and yet again I feel our little town would
not fulfill these residents’ needs. We only have one
Mexican restaurant and they already have a mariachi
band. There is not a Wal-Mart, K-Mart, or Target within
walking distance and I think the closet place to buy
canned Pabst, Schlitz, or Milwaukee’s best is at least
a ten mile drive (shout out to the white trash element).
On top of that, we do not have either a welfare office
or a social security office inside the city and only one
bus route so the travel time for them if they needed to
speak to someone about their monthly Government han-
douts would be a terrible hardship and take away from
their time of watching Judge Judy and laying on their fat
worthless ass all day.
Yet there is a positive my friends, young Latino punan-
ny that would be bored out of their minds in my sleepy
little town. Just don’t go after the older ones no matter
how good they look. They have pumped out enough
kids to make their junk look like it just went through
a Special Forces selection process. Trust me, I made
the mistake and it was like being cornered by an angry
leather handbag. It looked like two fried ham steaks
sewn together…in haste! We’re talking big flapping
butterfly wings that had flown through a deep fryer and
a propeller. Give me a zipper and I could have made a
coozie or a nice pair of gloves out of it. I actually think
she talked through it cause as she spoke those wings
started flapping like an old kung fu movie and all I could
think of was David Carradine before it grabbed me in
a death like vice, and once again I was thinking about
David Carradine. Then all of a sudden, she is slapping
you on the ass and talking in tongues and you are pra-
ying to Our Lady of Guadalupe in Spanish as she chokes
you out and you realize you are the one being fucked
right before you pass out.
You know what, build that shit!!!

 KC'S CORNER TABLE
“Kerplink!”
So, my new Barrett clutch was still slipping and Lionel was dumbfounded. We were sitting on
milk cartons in his carport, staring at the Lightning. Total dead silence. I looked at him, he
looked at me, and we both looked at the Lightning, shaking our heads, still dead silence...
I FINALLY BROKE THE SILENCE BY ASKING LIONEL, “OK,
NOW WHAT?” LIONEL LOOKED BACK AT ME AND SAID,
“I JUST DON’T KNOW. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I’M COM-
PLETELY STUMPED. BUT LET’S TAKE IT APART JUST ONE
MORE TIME AND CHECK ALL THE PLATES.
Luckily it was still early in the day, and I put the fan on the
engine and started taking the case off one more time as Lionel
picked up the shop manual and went to the section about the
clutch. Normally when doing this part of a tear down I would
get a few coffee cans and cardboard boxes to put the parts
in, so as not to lose or damage anything. This time though, in
my haste to try and figure out what was wrong, I just started
putting parts on the concrete floor of the carport. As I was
putting parts down, the immediate area was getting clutte-
red, and parts were getting placed closer and closer to the
driveway, which was on an angle slopping downward towards
the street. When I removed the clutch pushrod, there was no
room on the carport floor to put it, so I reached out and very
carefully placed it on the angled driveway. Not thinking clearly,
I should have put it down lengthwise, so it could not roll, but I
put it at a right angle to the slope of the driveway, and it imme-
diately started to roll down towards the street. But it sounded
real funny the way it was rolling. It was not making a whirring
noise of a fast rolling shaft. It was going “kerplink, kerplink,
kerplink” very slowly down the driveway. Lionel noticed it too.
We both got up off our milk crates and watched the pushrod
slowly “kerplink” its way down the driveway. Remember, the
old 1950’s cartoons where Farmer Gray or Felix the Cat would
get a brilliant idea, and a light bulb drawn over their heads
would light up to show that they had a brilliant idea? Well,
that’s what happened to both of us. We heard the “kerplink”
of the pushrod rolling down the driveway, watched it for about
10 seconds, and then looked at each other, each one of us
with an ear-to-ear grin. The pushrod was bent, and that was
making the “kerplink” noise rolling down the driveway, and
what was causing the clutch to slip!!! I looked at Lionel and
said, “And who was that said ‘Oh, nothing ever goes wrong
with the pushrod!’”
I ran down the driveway and scooped up the pushrod, thinking
I could put it in Lionel’s big vice to straighten it out, but Lionel
said, “”No way, once bent, they would always flex, causing
the clutch to skip.” He said not to worry though, he had a new
Triumph clutch pushrod and it was identical to the BSA one. He
just needed to find it. It only took Lionel about 10 minutes to
34 BIKES & BEAUTIES • NOVEMBER 2010
find the pushrod. We put the whole thing back together, butto-
ned it all up, and I took it for a test ride. No slipping clutch!!!
That Lightning just kept pulling all the way up to redline. I
was really excited. Best of all, it was only a little past noon,
so I had plenty of time to get home, cleaned up, and take my
girlfriend Susie out for a ride. Anticipating that the BSA would
be fixed, I asked her if she wanted to ride the previous night,
so it was all
I finally broke the silen- good.
ce by asking Lionel, I rode home
“Ok, now what?” Lionel on Cloud 9,
looked back at me and said, thoroughly
“I just don’t know”. enjoying every
second of the
ride, knowing I had complete and total use of the full power
band. I wasn’t redlining it on every acceleration, but I was fina-
lly able to enjoy the full power of my beloved BSA Lightning. I
pulled into my driveway only to see Susie sitting on the steps
of my front porch, reading a book and highlighting certain
sections. Damn, I thought to myself, school doesn’t start for
another six weeks and she’s studying already? I’m sure she
could tell by the big smile on my face that the bike was finally
fixed. With the Mets game on my little B&W 19” TV, (Damn,
the Mets were actually winning games this year!) we decided
we’d clean up a bit and head down to New Hope, PA. a kind
of artistic colony old village that is now a huge tourist trap.
Susie was one of those “artsy” types. We pooled and counted
our money, and between us had enough for a tank of gas, a
modest dinner, and a couple brews afterwards.
So about 3:00 p.m., we head out for New Hope. A quick
stop for gas, winding thorough some back roads in Somerset
County in New Jersey, and we get to the 202/206 Circle whe-
re we head south on HWY 202. Now, Susie was no little tiny
girl. She was 5’9” and about 125 lbs., but the Lightning now
had all this power through its entire range that I hardly ever
knew she was back there. That is until about 5 miles after the
Circle, cruising down a nice scenic stretch of Hwy 202 on a
beautiful sunny, July afternoon. I hear a crack, then a snap,
then all of a sudden my 650cc BSA Lightning is now a 325cc
BSA Lightning running on one cylinder. Oh shit, now what?
Well, at least the clutch wasn’t slipping!
Ride safe,

The Cancer Benefit run that went from Chit-Chat’s in
Pompano to Flossie’s in Dania, was again a great success. It
always, always gives me butterflies and goosebumps (what a
mix) when I see and hear such a huge parade of beautiful, shiny
motorcycles roar down the road and highway in unison; there
really is NOTHING like it. Especially when it’s for a good cause.
We had a police escort, who enjoyed the heck out of it as well,
chasing each other down, blaring sirens, passing us by. I don’t
think I’ll ever fully get used to seeing flashing blue lights and
hearing the siren without having a little cramping of the heart.
Perfect weather, blue skies, sunshine, girls in pink, wonderful
people I love and our own fabulous “Boa Brigade”. Yup, this
year I could talk some of SoFla’s most gorgeous girls, the ones
I ride with from time to time, into donning pink featherboas
like I did last year. What a blast! On a very sour note, the right
lane was not blocked by our police protectors on I-95 at one
point and some cars figured they should pass the 500+ bikes
on the right. When the lane had to merge, instead of stopping,
the obliviot in a gray CAR decided to forcefully press through
the formation and caused one rider with a passenger, to lose
control and go down. “Go down” means, minimum, a bloody
face and arm, roadrash for Mac & Lisa who collapsed in shock
after walking towards the embankment, white as wax, waiting
for the ambulace. We all wish you a speedy recovery and may
the cager loose all his teeth. Thankfully, Jessie rode along in her
truck and the crashed bike was loaded up and taken to Flossies.
Thanks, Jessie, for the pick up! Crashes and near misses were a
big theme last month. ABATE had their 30 Freedom Rights Rally
Event at Mickey’s - it is said that, traditionally, it rains on that
occasion. No myth. It MONSOONED. Bikes knee-deep in water
had to be rescued. I love me a little disaster- SO nice to see
EVERYBODY run together and help.In this case, to keep the tent
from crashing under the waterweight. All like ONE man, helping.
Great people, great place, great party! Thanks for the invite,

Russell Lichtenberg was making a right turn when a mini van
tried to beat the yellow light, flying by him, hocked his left arm
with the passenger mirror and ripped it back and him off the
bike. He was pulled for about 10 feet, taking out all the side
windows on the van as it drove over the bike! When he got up
(he GOT UP!!) off the ground, his left arm was hanging and his
elbow hung below his knee but the skin was not ripped, “just”
a major, complicated fracture of his left arm!
I had 5 close calls within the past 3 weeks alone and one hit
in the Loemann’s Aventura parking lot; and not ONCE did the
driver apologize. They tail you, close as a foot away or less
(even with my boy on the back!) and if you wave them to back
off, they start yelling and threatening and come closer. I’m
beginning to have anger management issues. The list is hair

 SERVICE WITH STEVE-O

OK, let’s get into the old argument, Synthetic Oil versus the
traditional standby Petroleum based oil.

IAR???? fluids for their transmissions and primary cases as well.
So, now there are questions and some old wives’ tales
that we should address. The 1st question is when to A FEW OF THE POPULAR V-TWIN SYNTHETICS
make the switch? typically in our shop we suggest
changing to synthetic at the first service interval of
1000 miles. No particular reasons other than most folks
are pretty anxious to get out on the road and ride and
not in any rush to put their bike back into the shop. All
of HD’s CVO vehicles come from the factory with syn-
thetic already in the bike.
The 2nd question is what about the cost? It is true that
synthetics cost almost double what regular oil does but
there are many more positive points to using it, like
HD’s synthetic is rated for 5000 mile oil changes (which
matches their service interval schedule), regular oil has
a recommended change interval of 2500 miles, synthet-
ics have better shear resistance as I mentioned earlier,
and that reduces engine temperatures. Cooler engines If you decide on synthetics, just remember to use a
last longer, it’s a fact! product that matches the specifications outlined for
In the “Old Wives Tale” department, some will tell you your bike. All HD owners’ manuals have specifications
that synthetic fluids will cause leaks. Synthetics are in- for your fluid requirements and as long as the fluid you
deed thinner especially when at operating temperatures use matches those specs. you are good to go. Don’t
but, they do not cause leaks. Once upon a time, many cheat on this one, it could be costly!!!
gaskets used in motors were cork based composites,
over a period of time, they would soak up the regular
oil we all used and that oil kept the gaskets swelled
up. When we changed to synthetic, these cork gaskets
would not absorb the fluid and low and behold, LEAKS!
Not really fair to blame the fluid, today, gasket technol-
ogy has come a long way baby and that is not an issue
anymore.
Another Old Wives Tale is once you go synthetic; you
cannot go back to regular oil. FALSE! In fact HD tells
you that should find yourself needing oil and no synthet-
ic is available, go ahead and use regular oil, and just get
it changed as soon as you can. As a point of interest,

 SPEAKING SPORTS
Dolphins Feel Like Road Kill At Sun Life Stadium
Three wins on the road, three losses at home. This has been a bizarre early season for the Miami
Dolphins. Even more bizarre after the controversial ending in last Sundays one point loss to the Steelers.
DID BEN ROETHLISBERGER SCORE? DID THE
DOLPHINS RECOVER? WHY COULDN’T THE REFE-
REE FIGURE IT ALL OUT? IN A SEASON FILLED
WITH SO MANY EMOTIONS, SO MANY INCREDI-
BLE UPS AND DOWNS, THIS ONE STOLE THE PRI-
ZE AND NO DOUBT COST THE DOLPHINS WHAT
WOULD HAVE BEEN A SCINTILLATING VICTORY.
So, should we be outraged today? Upset?
Confused? Satisfied? Encouraged by what we’ve
seen? Probably, all of the above. With a 3-3
record, after beating the Packers on the road,
that is arguably the best in the league. it is clear
that these Dolphins have a lot going for them. It
is also clear that they aren’t far away from being
an elite team.
But they aren’t there yet. There are issues that
need to be resolved, that can be resolved, over the
final 10 games of the season. Issues that came
into clear focus against the Steelers and have at
other times this season as well.
Settling for field goals instead of touchdowns.
Giving up big plays on defense. Failing to establish
consistency on the ground. Getting some big plays
out of Chad Henne and the passing game, espe-
cially with the game on the line. You look at the 3
wins so far and you see big plays by the defense,
some clutch kicks from Dan Carpenter, some nice
catches from Brandon Marshall, a tough-to-pene-
trate rushing defense and a team that goes on the
road with a mental tenacity that is impossible not
to admire.
But now, as the Dolphins hit the road once again
against Cincinnati and then Baltimore. The cha-
llenge facing these players and coaches is to build
on those strengths and do something about those
concerns. It won’t be easy. You establish an identi-
ty, and after a while, that’s who you become.
The Frustrating part of this season to date is that
the Dolphins are close. As close as a one point
loss to the Steelers. But the difference between
standing close and standing here today with a
5-1 or 4-2 record are little things that go wrong.
Little things that add up. We can focus for days on
that goal-line scenario against the Steelers and it
certainly deserves close scrutiny by the league.
The burning question from this view point; why
couldn’t the officials follow the play until it’s con-
clusion so they know whether the Dolphins reco-
vered? After all, it was only the game on the line.
But amid anger and confusion, don’t lose sight of
the fact that the Dolphins had the ball back, down
38 BIKES & BEAUTIES • NOVEMBER 2010
by one, with more than two minutes left. Really
good teams regain their poise at that moment and
make plays, the dolphins instead went four and
out. This is where they need to go, the level they
need to find. After an emotional win in Green Bay,
the game against the Steelers provided a true
gauge of these Dolphins. Had they been blown out,
had they never really challenged. Then my article
would be talking about pieces that don’t fit and
major problems that exist. But that wasn’t the
case. The Dolphins showed that they belonged.
They showed they have a strong pulse and a nice
list of step-up players.
Now it’s time to show more. Then games left. A
schedule that gets far easier in November and
December. This team can make the playoffs. They
can accomplish many of their goals. If you didn’t
see that against the Packers and Steelers, then
you weren’t looking. But it is important now, vital
now, and they change some of their ways. The way
I see it, the most glaring problem is big plays. The
Dolphins give up too many and don’t make enough
of their own. These are game changing moments,
game deciding moments. Against Green Bay, Aaron
Rodgers hits Greg Jennings on an 86 yard touch-
down play. Against the Steelers. Rothlisberger hits
Mike Wallace for a 53 yard touchdown. Against
the Jets, Mark Sanchez goes deep for 67 yards to
Braylon Edwards. In all three cases, far too easy.
Conversely, while Henne has done an excellent
job with the underneath stuff, the easy route just
hasn’t been there. His longest TD pass through six
games has been 28 yards and that was to running
back Ricky Williams. If the Dolphins are going to
win seven of the final ten, which would probably
guarantee them a spot in the playoffs, the small
plays have to stop and the big plays have to come.
Get the idea?
It isn’t all that bad being 3-3 right now, even with
the unusual route the Dolphins have traveled to
get there. But it’s what happens from here that
means everything and, right now, this team still
has some growing up to do.
