Letter from the Publisher

ello everyone! It’s August again and time to start thinking about Sturgis. With September right around the corner, Wildwood, Delmarva, and Seaside Bike Weeks come one, two, and three in the month of September so, it’s gonna be a busy month this year.

We’re again working with Seaside Heights, the NJ State HOG Rally and Que By The Sea BBQ Festival to make this year’s event bigger and better than last year. This will be a FREE event and will feature freestyle moto-cross jump teams, the Krazy White Boys Stunt Riders, a Boardwalk Bike Show, Four State Biker Build-Off, just to name a few of the activities that we will be bringing you this year.

So make sure you check back here for more updates and ‘till next time... Ride safe.

A couple of weeks ago, an old friend of mine contacted me and asked me if I had parts available in flat black and, without hesita-tion, my inner salesman kicked in and I proceeded to give him the available product inventory. We chatted for a while and I quickly learned that he was upgrading a Harley for his nephew who was currently serving his third tour in Afghanistan after two successful tours in Iraq. When I say suc-

cessful, I guess that means still alive and well.

I told him I had to leave town and would get him some stuff at my cost before Sturgis and didnt give it much more thought because I was so self absorbed in preparing for all the activi-ties I have scheduled in Sturgis. Things changed dramaticlly for these young men when on July 12th, Lance Cpl. Robert S. Greninger of Greenfield Minnesota was killed conducting com-bat operations in Afghanistan. Cpl. Greninger served along side my friend’s nephew SSgt. Chris Shranko and saved the lives of many of his fellow soldiers with his actions which is what cost him his life.

When I was informed of this, I began to think about all the young men and women who pay the ultimate price for us to enjoy all the freedoms we take for granted in this coun-try. The freedom to take a summer vacation, the freedom to fly on an airplane, the freedom to attend a motorcycle event and, I know its cliche’ but... Freedom is not free, it cost this young man who was just begining his life his future. You may not personally know anyone who is serving but everyone over there is someone’s son or daughter, mother or father... So the next time you see someone in uniform, remember the reason you were able to go to the movies last night was because they paid the ultimate price to keep us free. You may not agree with the politics or the administration that is in office, but these young men and women don’t have time to concern themselves with that as they are too busy sacrificing their lives so you can enjoy yours.

Obviously I felt the need to do something more so I will be donating all the parts for the bike, as well as sending a care package of SCC swag to Afghanastan for the entire unit which seems so inconse-quential when compared to the dona-tions of the men and women who serve in every branch of the military.

I am not going to do my usual shameless self promotion at the end of this month’s article, suffice to say it just doesn’t seem appropriate.

Story, Ridin’ and Pics by Lutz

One of my friends has a saying... “Fast women and fast Harleys.” Today we’ll take a rain check on the fast women (well maybe) and take a ride down to Atco Raceway and check out some some really f@#%in’ fast Harleys! As if the ride down wasn’t great enough, just thinkin’ about checkin’ out some 220+ mph/mid 6 second Harleys rac-ing that will make your pulse that much quicker.

Presented by Brians Harley-Davidson, the ADHRA North-east Nitro Nationals rolled into Atco Raceway and brought alot of “rumble” with it. Big name and local racers, top fuel and nitromethane all combined to WOW the specta-tors. The weather couldn’t have been better as the smell of smoking tires and nitro fuel filled the dragstrip air. There were also some other smells that were great, too. If you went down to the food court you could check out the food vendors, bbq, burgers, chicken fingers, fries... Good stuff!

As mentioned, the weather was great but if you wanted to get your drink on, the track has an air conditioned bar called ”The Winners Circle” and, not to worry, they have the races televised on a few jumbo TV’s! How cool is that!?! My favorite part about this event, outside of the racing, is walking the trailers in the pits and meeting the people that race these monsters. Gotta give ‘em credit racing a bike at the speed some of them go! If something goes wrong, there’s not alot around you for protection!

If you feel the need for speed... This is the place to check out. So here’s to all them fast Harleys! Oh, and even them fast women, too!!

Even though it has been many years since the helmet law in PA has been repealed, this issue isn’t going away any time soon. The current law allows a licensed operator who is over 21 and has 2 years of riding experience and/or has completed the motorcycle safety course, to ride without a helmet. The law is once again under attack in PA, as several congressmen are in the process of preparing a bill to rescind the law. Truthfully, I am not familiar enough with the current crop of legislators to know whether this bill will pass, but given the conservative nature of the legislature, I would not be surprised if PA will once again require all motorcyclists to wear a helmet. For more information on this I suggest you contact your local A.B.A.T.E. Chapter.

Adding fuel to the fire, I just read an article about a rider, who while participating in a helmet law protest ride in New York, was killed when he was involved in a one-motorcycle accident. Apparently he died from a fractured skull and according to the emergency room physicians, had he been wearing a helmet, he would have survived. Given the irony of this situation, I am sure that all of the states trying to re-enact helmet laws will get a lot of mileage out of this sad turn of events.

On another note, although most of the conversations about injuries involve helmets, most of my clients do not suffer head injuries, but more commonly suffer from broken bones in addition to “road rash”. Although road rash is not life threatening, it is often described as the most painful type of injury suffered. Anyone who has ever had to endure the pain involved in the debridement process (scrubbing of the wound with a wire-like brush to clean out gravel, dirt etc.) and dressing and re-dressing of the wounds often say it is the most

painful situation they have been through. I recently witnessed this first-hand as I was with a client who was having her bandages peeled off in order have her wounds cleaned and re-dressed. The pain she experienced during this procedure must have excruciating based upon her sobbing and cries of distress as this was taking place.

I mention this because as the weather turns warmer, many riders wear nothing more than a tank or t-shirt and some even where shorts and sneakers. However tempting this may be, at a bare minimum, no matter the weather, everyone should have on boots, jeans and at least a long-sleeve t-shirt and some type of gloves. There are also many light-weight mesh jackets that can be worn with minimal discomfort. This clothing, while perhaps slightly uncomfortable, will protect you from a great deal of pain if you are ever involved in an accident.

So while the helmet issue may grab the headlines, I would suggest that whether you chose to wear a helmet or not, at a minimum you should wear as much protective gear as possible. Although I have been fortunate not to have personally experienced road rash, I have experienced first hand the horror these burn-type injuries can cause if you are ever forced to slide across the roadway for any distance.

I hope you find this information informative and if you would like additional information on this topic, or any other, I can always be reached at [email protected] or 1-888-CYCLE-LAW (1-888-292-5352).

Owner: Rich Moeman, Smyrna, DE

Before purchasing his bike Rich Moeman’s 2005 Electra Glide standard police model was in service as a Delaware State Police bike. It took Rich approximately 6 1/2 months to build and, like

most good builds, he finished it at 2 a.m. on the very morning he was sched-uled to leave for Myrtle Beach. That trip ended up being its test ride.

Rich, assisted by his friend, Brent Billings, built the bike in his

home garage. Paint was provided by Randy Connell and the color is Candy Tangerine with a Root Beer flames. The motor

is a stock twin cam 88 and the wheels are the stock rims that

were sent out for chrome. The police saddle bags were

switched out for stock bags and all the

chrome acces-

sories (the han-dle

bars, crash bars, console, fork legs, bells, etc.) were sent out for a gloss black powder

coat applied by Powder Barons in

Middletown, DE. The orange glass work on the derby cover, timer cover, reflectors on bags, highlights on cali-pers, and the console was

done by Iron Glass Design on the

west coast in the state of Washington and he also manufactured a glass surround for the radio which was a first for him and is unique to Rich’s bike. The floor boards are moved 1 inch out and 1 inch up with Covington mounts and are dressed in the Harley flame collection

along with the footpegs and grips.The radio is a JVC radio with a 250 watt amp and 6 1/2” speakers and a mounted Sirius radio. All of the gauges were replaced with Scream-ing Eagle gauges and the oil pressure and oil temp gauges were added to fill out the dashboard. Rich purposely left the siren and light switches on the controls so people could tell that it is a police model.

An internal combustion engine requires four conditions to operate. Air, fuel, ignition source and compression. Additionally, these must oc-cur in a correct timed relationship to each other. If these conditions are met, the engine will run. To produce optimum power across the entire RPM band requires a bit more effort. The optimization of these parameters is called the tuning process. For our discussion, we’ll assume an already functioning engine with no major prob-lems. As we have a functional engine, we can pretty much eliminate compression as a tuning factor. Compression problems can include the ware or failure of the cylinder wall or piston rings, valve seals or guides, head gaskets or heads themselves. A quick compression and leak-down test can assure us that these items are operating within specifications. There are several timing mechanisms within the en-gine. These are the crankshaft (via the pinion gear) relative to the camshaft and breather gear and the ignition breaker relative to the crankshaft. In general, and unless the camshaft has been replaced, it should be in correct time relative to the crankshaft and breather. There are marks on each of the three gears that must align as per the manual to establish this relationship. A further, more involved process called degree-ing can be performed (and should be when a new cam is installed) to optimize camshaft timing. We will discuss this in a future article. For our purposes now, the ignition timing is the primary adjustment are concerned with. Timing the ignition allows for the spark to occur at an op-timal time relative to both piston and valve position. It is designated as x degrees before top dead center (TDC) on the power stroke, and is usually measured on the front cylinder. The factory specified range is between 5 (full retard) and 35 degrees (full advance). There are marks on the left crank wheel visible through the timing inspection hole located at the top of the crankcase drive side, just between the bot-tom of the two jugs. A handy item to have is a clear, threaded plug to insert into this hole to prevent oil from spurting out while making the adjustment with the engine running. This is done using an inductive type, strobe timing light. The light is connected to both ground and battery positive terminals and the inductive clamp placed around the front cylinder spark plug wire. A helpful trick is to rotate the engine (by the rear wheel in 4th gear or by carefully using the starter motor with the ignition disabled) so the timing marks are visible in this window. The factory marks indicate front cylinder TDC, front cylinder full advance setting and rear cylinder full advance setting. Wipe all oil off of the crank wheel surface and highlight the timing marks with white paint using a small, fine brush. This makes the marks much easier to see when performing the adjustment. The ignition timing is adjusted by moving the breaker plate located under the cam cone cover. Slightly loosen the two hold down screws and the plate will be able to rotate. Note the position of the lines on the plate. With the engine running and up to temperature, set the idle speed to about 1300-1500 RPM and note the position of the front cylinder timing advance mark. It should be centered in the inspection hole. If not, slightly move the breaker plate one way to see if the mark comes into position or moves further away. Based on this result, make the appropriate adjust-ment of the plate, then tighten it down. This procedure will get the ignition timing set to factory spec and will be our starting point for fine tuning later on. Mark the breaker plate to show the new setting or take note of it for reference. Now that the ignition timing is close, we need to deal with the carburetor. The job of the carburetor is to provide an optimum mixture of air and fuel, and to sup-

ply it at all of the possible throttle positions. Depending on the specific unit, the number and type of adjust-ments will vary. In general, we can break them down into: float adjustment, choke adjustment, accelerator pump adjustment, idle setting and mixture settings. Most adjustments will have an effect on others, so an iterative process is required. We’ll discuss some spe-cific carburetors and their adjustments in detail some

other time. The overall most important adjustment is the mixture or air to fuel. The mixture ratio is expressed as x parts of air to ONE part of fuel. A mixture of 10:1 would therefore be richer (less air, more fuel) and a mixture of 14:1 would be leaner (more air, less fuel). Contrary to conventional wisdom, lean is mean or some of the other catch phrases aren’t necessarily the case. In addition to the optimum burn ratios, a slightly richer mixture will help to keep the engine running cool. Conversely, too rich a mixture can cause poor mileage and also wet down the cyl-inder walls, preventing the oil from providing proper ring lubri-cation. Engine damage can result in mixtures that are set too far either way, so setting and maintaining this ratio becomes one of the most important aspects of the tuning process. Sub-sequently, we’ll devote some time discussing this matter in detail. The mixture ratio can be measured by several methods. Analyzing the quantity of combustion by-products in the ex-haust gases, such as CO (carbon monoxide) can give us a correlation to the mixture ratio. Hydro-carbons (essentially un-burnt fuel) readings taken from the exhaust gases can provide

another method of calculating the ratio. Lambda type sensors can be installed in the exhaust system (provided they can reach a temperature of 600 degrees or contain a pre-heat element), giving a very precise oxygen reading to derive the mixture ratio from. They are also available as standalone units. This is the type of unit that we use in conjunction with our Dynamometer. The chemically optimum mixture for the most complete com-bustion of fuel is 13.7:1 and is known as the Stoichiometric ratio. Due to the fact that no perfect mixing or vaporization is possible in typical engine situations, a richer mixture is actually required to achieve maximum power. Typical mixtures to develop maximum

power range from 11.5:1 to 13.5:1, with theoretical optimum figures being 12.5:1 at peak torque and 12.8:1 at peak horse-power. To further complicate the situation, at differing points of en-gine operation, different mixture ratios are required. For ex-ample, due to the lower port velocities at idle, a richer mixture of about 12.25:1 is necessary. During a steady state throttle condition (constant load at a given RPM), the mixture require-ment leans out to about 13.4:1.

Transient requirements are different again. Hard acceleration when the throttle is opened rapidly causes an increase in manifold pressure, which demands additional fuel to prevent backfiring, misfires or a stall. The ratio required during this condition can be as rich as 12.7:1 at full operating temperature or richer yet on a cold engine. A good tuning objective is to shoot for a mixture range between 12.5:1 to 13.2:1 over the ENTIRE RPM bandwidth. This will result in a basically flat fuel curve, with maximum power available at all points. This can be a very difficult goal to achieve, as the limitations of many carburetor designs don’t allow for sufficient adjustment latitude over such a broad range. Depending on the specific carburetor, there may be modifications available that provide more adjustable metering circuits and greater tuning options. Next month, we’ll discuss some specific carburetor designs, their adjust-ments and possible modifications to further our performance tuning goals. Till next month...

Matching leather grab strap is included. The Dis-

tressed Brown Leather Badlander Seat is offered for many Harley-Davidson® Softail®, Tour-ing and Sportster® models.

BURLINGTON BIKE NIGHT 2011June 4th, 2011 . Burlington, NJ . Story, Ridin’ and Pics by LutzDamn, how time flys! Seems like yesterday I broke out my walkin’ boots and took a ride down to Burlington City for the An-nual “Burlington Bike Night.” Even with the threat of rain ridin’ in, with all that happens at this event its definitly worth the ride. Tons of other bikers proved that as the streets and parking lots were loaded, you could just entertain yourself lookin’ at bikes!!

This year was the 7th Annual for Burlington City and the Chamber of Commerce once again hosted this event but there was one noticable thing missing... Mills Harley-Davidson. As all good things come to pass, Mills is now closed but, not to worry, Brians Harley-Davidson picked up where Mills left off.

Setup by the river (justifiably named “Thunder on the River”) and right through the middle of town, bike night offers lots of things to do. There’s a bike show, live music, vendors and lots more.Check out some of the local merchants in town for some food or drink, with the amount of people there, you’re sure to run into someone you know. All that being said, come out and check it out for yourself next year.
