Vol 11 Edition 29 July 25th 2013

After a fabulous time talking to veterans in Kamloops and sharing stories about my ride it was time once again the saddle up and head out Destination Joe Schmucks in Sicamous

I love this place Not only are the owners Mark and Wendy Pearson riders but their staff is so friendly the rooms are enormous and the hospitality is amongst the finest in the region

I was treated to a room with a hot tub ndash my lord what a treat ndash I sat in that thing for about an hour and as my muscles unknotted and I began to relax I was truly able to take in the stunning array of stars that were out

I slept like a baby that night and was greeted by glorious sunshine the next morning

Breakfast was awesome and I was able to visit with Rocky and a few of the other local riders and soon it was time to head for Kelowna to see Stephanie our layout artist

JC Stephaniersquos partner took one look at my boots when I got there and he decided to take me to Kreator Customs and buy me a new pair for my birthday - I was blown away by the generosity We headed over to Kreatorrsquos where I found a great selection of Milwaukee Boots I found a pair that fit and accommodated my braces

some soup at a Timmyrsquos and then it was time to say goodbye ndash me to head to Christina Lake and them back to their resort

As I rode towards Beaverdell the countryside began to change I havenrsquot ridden this highway in a long time and forgot how absolutely gorgeous it is When I hit Beaverdell there were a ton of bikes parked outside of an older building that is right across the street from where the old Beaverdell Hotel once stood (it burnt down a few years back)

The building is being renovated to be turned into a pub and while alcoholic beverages were not available pop and water were

There were a dozen riders in there and Rita was passed around for photos and hug ops

I rode out with a half dozen of the locals who were heading to Rock Creek and then back to Kelowna ndash we rode through the twisting winding roads all of us had shit eating grins on our faces ndash you couldnrsquot have asked for a more perfect day Sun no wind to speak of and wonderful roads to ridehellip

At Rock Creek we stopped for fuel shared some hugs and said our good byes

The next stretch for me was through Grande Forks and into Christina Lake and my room at the Christina Lake Village

Paula and Scott had my room ready when I got in and I took advantage of the pool to cool down

This place is special It is run by this young family ndash all four kids even the littlest has a job to do

They have tenting motorhome camping the motel laundry facilities and a fabulous restaurant and grocery store

They are agents for Purolator and U-Haul

My Room

After a hearty supper in their restaurant I went to my room and proceeded to get some work done

The next morning dawned hotter than the day before Stifling hot ndash 36 degrees with the threat of thunderstorms Mother nature was putting on a lightning show and there were thunderheads all around us

I was supposed to head to Toad Rock but opted to stay another night and just worked The rain that was threatening never materialized and at midnight I watched the fireworks with a bunch of young people who were camped out at the Christina Lake Village For about a half hour all you could hear were the oohs and ahhs as we watched the brilliant colors explode in the air over the lake

In the morning Kelly ndash a rider from Vancouver and I had breakfast and a gab He told me

how he had just gotten back into riding after a 20 year hiatus we shared some road trip ideas and then he went off towards Invermere

I left the resort with hugs from Paula and a promise to return soon

The ride to Toad Rock was spent under a stifling hot sun but I enjoyed every second of it Sadly I discovered that the Sirdar Pub was closed down and that Co Owner Rob Kane had been in a bad crash with his pick up I am unclear on all of the details but suffice it to say I found it sad that one of the best food stops on the highway to the Balfour Ferry was closed

I opted to go to Toad Rock via Nelson stopping in Salmo and Fruitvale I had a coffee with the Infamous Bean and a great visit with Randy and Sheri at Leather and

Steel Their business donated $100 to the Conga and my charities

We set a plan for a ride in Nelson with the West Kootenay Road Runners and then I stopped into Toad Rock for a visit with Mother Mary It was good to see her and Grant along with Gerry from Sylvan Lake and a few riders from Saskatchewan ndash the remnants of the July 1st weekend at Toad Rock ndash itrsquos not an event anymore just a gathering of campers that enjoy this place and come together to share their pride in being Canadian

Apparently I missed a really good time

My stop for the evening was to be the Wing Creek Resort just outside of Kaslo so off I went

I met up with Debra from Wing Creek at the Kaslo Hotel as the Rosewood Cafeacute was closed I left my bike parked in front of the Rosewood on the off chance that Grant and PJ would see it and give me a callhellipwhat a great thing to have done as call they did

After my supper of blackened white fish Debra and I went over to the Rosewood and had a great visit with Grant and PJ so great that it was after midnight when we headed off to the resort but not before PJ Grant and I made plans for the morning

This place is a bit of heaven the ride into it was treacherous at night ndash tons of twists and curves but as I would find out the next morning when I left itrsquos wonderful to ride in daylight

The cabin I had was one of 4 that are the same size There is a fifth cabin that is 100 square feet bigger than the others They all have full kitchens with fridges that are stocked with beer and wine and on the counter there are snacks available that you can purchase and the prices are the same as most grocery stores The living room area boasts no TV but gorgeous miniature fireplaces instead The bedroom is expansive and the bathrooms are well appointed

Korea War Vets Memorial in Kaslo

The view from the deck of the Kaslo Hotel

The view in Kaslo

I settled in for the night and was up at the crack of dawn and thoroughly enjoyed having my coffee out on the deck The view from my cabin was stunning And all the cabins are separated by trees that make you feel like you are the only one out there There are BBQ areas for the use of the cabins and the largest cabin has itrsquos own BBQ

At 7 am Debra came and got me and we went for a tour of the facilities There is a huge meeting room building that has tons of storage underneath and offers protected parking in the case of inclement weather The place is filled with amazing art from local artistshellipthis is also the only place you can get Internet accesshellip

In the office there is a wonderful spa with two massage beds and Debra is a registered massage and Reiki therapist

The continental breakfast offered up fruit farm made local jams and local breads etc

Debrarsquos partner Kevin took me in the electric golf cart down to the rental home they have 2300 square feet of absolutely gorgeous timber framed home with views of the lake and mountains that make you feel like you are in the heavens

We then went down to the lakefront ndash that sadly was covered in water from all of the flooding but one could tell how lovely it all is There are a number of intimate spots set out for privacy and a communal area for larger gatherings

There are also canoes that you can take out on the lake The place is just stunning and if you are looking for an intimate place to reconnect with your spouse or to celebrate a wedding or some other milestone you need to consider Wing Creek Resort

It was with a torn heart that I left the resort and rode the 7 or so kilometers into Kaslo where I had breakfast at the Rosewood Cafehellipnow I know Grant is a Red Seal Chef and that he has just overcome a battle with prostate cancer but I was not prepared for the feast that was given to me for breakfast

A homemade tortilla ladened with pulled pork and sweet picled cabbage fajita chicken with a fruit salsa a poached egg with hollandaise sauce and a bowl of fresh fruit

The flavor combinations burst in my mouth and the presentation was so eye appealing and the best part The cost -$12 The Rosewood is filled with family heirlooms and treasures and is every bit as appealing as the gourmet food on a workingmanrsquos budget

The service was impeccable the place is warm and invitinghellipif you ever find yourself in the Kaslo region I highly recommend the Rosewood Cafeacute and can pretty much guarantee that you will walk away feeling like you just ate in a 5 star restaurant

our story your experience

For those of you who might not be aware Vulcan is in fact a real place in Alberta

Itrsquos a town with a great sense of humor a wonderful community spirit and like many (all) rural communities it has a great big heart And yes it DOES have a

giant spaceship on the edge of town

Every year several very fun things happen in Vulcan They have a great summer fair and festival they call Spock days which attracts Star Trek fans from all over generally is attended by thousands and even sports stars from the television shows as guests Theyrsquoll throw a rodeo several parties as well as parades and all that kind of goodness This is generally regarded as one of the best get-togethers of the summer by those around the area and I agree

But my favourite is always the third weekend in July Thatrsquos when they hold the Show lsquonrsquo Shine and Smash-Up Derby This year they were putting their hard work to very good use raising funds to assist the folks from nearby High River who have been affected by the flooding there and a great job they were doing Sponsored by the Vulcan County Cruisers car club this event has been held annually for 27 years and shows no sign of slowing down Cars bikes trucks and even mini cars and tractors are welcomed in the show and this is some grassroots stuff

99 of what you see on display are labours of love There arenrsquot many ldquoso I gave this guy fifty grand and this is what I got backrdquo stories Instead you hear lots of stories about searching half the world for the right trim for the windshield on a rsquo46 Austin or trying to figure out what electric motor from the spare parts pile will automate the doors on a rsquo47 Merc These people donrsquot just own the iron they built it themselves with their buddies farming out as little as they can manage and the love shows in the results

As varied as they were beautiful therersquos a lot of pride poured into these vehicles Coming from Coaldale the Crowsnest Pass even Edmonton and into BC this small quietly advertised event is one helluva good time

This old Merc here was quite a show stopper and crowd favourite on the day The older gent that owns it spent 3 years on restoring and fabrication and only let other folks do the paint and upholstery It was a radical custom and truly original

Continued on Next Page

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

For Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasakirsquos Austin Politelli the current points leader in the MX2 Championship Gopher Dunes proved to be a bittersweet day Although he managed to finish second behind Ingalls in moto one after a bad start and playing catch-up for most of the moto a technical issue saw him fade from

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Reason In Memory of James White killed in August 8 1944 In France World War II

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

An airliner is coming into land at an airport obscured by fog Visibility is practically nil the ILS system is on the blink so the newfie pilot has to land on wits alone

Flaps check he says to the co-pilot Landing Gear check Altitude check Right were going in Hold on

The plane lands and comes to a screeching grinding halt just short of the edge of the runway Holy Cow exclaims the pilot This must be the shortest runway Ive ever landed on

The newfie co-pilot looks left and right and says Yeah and about the widest too

Painful Breakup

A marine was deployed to Afghanistan While he was there he received a letter from his girlfriend In the letter she explained that she had slept with two guys while he had been gone and she wanted to break up with him and she wanted pictures of herself back

So the Marine did what any squared-away marine would do He went around to his buddies and collected all the unwanted photos of women that he could find He then mailed about 25 pictures of women (with clothes and without) to his girlfriend with the following note

I dont remember which one you are Please remove your pictures and send the rest back

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

some soup at a Timmyrsquos and then it was time to say goodbye ndash me to head to Christina Lake and them back to their resort

As I rode towards Beaverdell the countryside began to change I havenrsquot ridden this highway in a long time and forgot how absolutely gorgeous it is When I hit Beaverdell there were a ton of bikes parked outside of an older building that is right across the street from where the old Beaverdell Hotel once stood (it burnt down a few years back)

The building is being renovated to be turned into a pub and while alcoholic beverages were not available pop and water were

There were a dozen riders in there and Rita was passed around for photos and hug ops

I rode out with a half dozen of the locals who were heading to Rock Creek and then back to Kelowna ndash we rode through the twisting winding roads all of us had shit eating grins on our faces ndash you couldnrsquot have asked for a more perfect day Sun no wind to speak of and wonderful roads to ridehellip

At Rock Creek we stopped for fuel shared some hugs and said our good byes

The next stretch for me was through Grande Forks and into Christina Lake and my room at the Christina Lake Village

Paula and Scott had my room ready when I got in and I took advantage of the pool to cool down

This place is special It is run by this young family ndash all four kids even the littlest has a job to do

They have tenting motorhome camping the motel laundry facilities and a fabulous restaurant and grocery store

They are agents for Purolator and U-Haul

My Room

After a hearty supper in their restaurant I went to my room and proceeded to get some work done

The next morning dawned hotter than the day before Stifling hot ndash 36 degrees with the threat of thunderstorms Mother nature was putting on a lightning show and there were thunderheads all around us

I was supposed to head to Toad Rock but opted to stay another night and just worked The rain that was threatening never materialized and at midnight I watched the fireworks with a bunch of young people who were camped out at the Christina Lake Village For about a half hour all you could hear were the oohs and ahhs as we watched the brilliant colors explode in the air over the lake

In the morning Kelly ndash a rider from Vancouver and I had breakfast and a gab He told me

how he had just gotten back into riding after a 20 year hiatus we shared some road trip ideas and then he went off towards Invermere

I left the resort with hugs from Paula and a promise to return soon

The ride to Toad Rock was spent under a stifling hot sun but I enjoyed every second of it Sadly I discovered that the Sirdar Pub was closed down and that Co Owner Rob Kane had been in a bad crash with his pick up I am unclear on all of the details but suffice it to say I found it sad that one of the best food stops on the highway to the Balfour Ferry was closed

I opted to go to Toad Rock via Nelson stopping in Salmo and Fruitvale I had a coffee with the Infamous Bean and a great visit with Randy and Sheri at Leather and

Steel Their business donated $100 to the Conga and my charities

We set a plan for a ride in Nelson with the West Kootenay Road Runners and then I stopped into Toad Rock for a visit with Mother Mary It was good to see her and Grant along with Gerry from Sylvan Lake and a few riders from Saskatchewan ndash the remnants of the July 1st weekend at Toad Rock ndash itrsquos not an event anymore just a gathering of campers that enjoy this place and come together to share their pride in being Canadian

Apparently I missed a really good time

My stop for the evening was to be the Wing Creek Resort just outside of Kaslo so off I went

I met up with Debra from Wing Creek at the Kaslo Hotel as the Rosewood Cafeacute was closed I left my bike parked in front of the Rosewood on the off chance that Grant and PJ would see it and give me a callhellipwhat a great thing to have done as call they did

After my supper of blackened white fish Debra and I went over to the Rosewood and had a great visit with Grant and PJ so great that it was after midnight when we headed off to the resort but not before PJ Grant and I made plans for the morning

This place is a bit of heaven the ride into it was treacherous at night ndash tons of twists and curves but as I would find out the next morning when I left itrsquos wonderful to ride in daylight

The cabin I had was one of 4 that are the same size There is a fifth cabin that is 100 square feet bigger than the others They all have full kitchens with fridges that are stocked with beer and wine and on the counter there are snacks available that you can purchase and the prices are the same as most grocery stores The living room area boasts no TV but gorgeous miniature fireplaces instead The bedroom is expansive and the bathrooms are well appointed

The view in Kaslo

I settled in for the night and was up at the crack of dawn and thoroughly enjoyed having my coffee out on the deck The view from my cabin was stunning And all the cabins are separated by trees that make you feel like you are the only one out there There are BBQ areas for the use of the cabins and the largest cabin has itrsquos own BBQ

At 7 am Debra came and got me and we went for a tour of the facilities There is a huge meeting room building that has tons of storage underneath and offers protected parking in the case of inclement weather The place is filled with amazing art from local artistshellipthis is also the only place you can get Internet accesshellip

In the office there is a wonderful spa with two massage beds and Debra is a registered massage and Reiki therapist

The continental breakfast offered up fruit farm made local jams and local breads etc

Debrarsquos partner Kevin took me in the electric golf cart down to the rental home they have 2300 square feet of absolutely gorgeous timber framed home with views of the lake and mountains that make you feel like you are in the heavens

We then went down to the lakefront ndash that sadly was covered in water from all of the flooding but one could tell how lovely it all is There are a number of intimate spots set out for privacy and a communal area for larger gatherings

There are also canoes that you can take out on the lake The place is just stunning and if you are looking for an intimate place to reconnect with your spouse or to celebrate a wedding or some other milestone you need to consider Wing Creek Resort

It was with a torn heart that I left the resort and rode the 7 or so kilometers into Kaslo where I had breakfast at the Rosewood Cafehellipnow I know Grant is a Red Seal Chef and that he has just overcome a battle with prostate cancer but I was not prepared for the feast that was given to me for breakfast

A homemade tortilla ladened with pulled pork and sweet picled cabbage fajita chicken with a fruit salsa a poached egg with hollandaise sauce and a bowl of fresh fruit

The flavor combinations burst in my mouth and the presentation was so eye appealing and the best part The cost -$12 The Rosewood is filled with family heirlooms and treasures and is every bit as appealing as the gourmet food on a workingmanrsquos budget

The service was impeccable the place is warm and invitinghellipif you ever find yourself in the Kaslo region I highly recommend the Rosewood Cafeacute and can pretty much guarantee that you will walk away feeling like you just ate in a 5 star restaurant

our story your experience

For those of you who might not be aware Vulcan is in fact a real place in Alberta

Itrsquos a town with a great sense of humor a wonderful community spirit and like many (all) rural communities it has a great big heart And yes it DOES have a

giant spaceship on the edge of town

Every year several very fun things happen in Vulcan They have a great summer fair and festival they call Spock days which attracts Star Trek fans from all over generally is attended by thousands and even sports stars from the television shows as guests Theyrsquoll throw a rodeo several parties as well as parades and all that kind of goodness This is generally regarded as one of the best get-togethers of the summer by those around the area and I agree

But my favourite is always the third weekend in July Thatrsquos when they hold the Show lsquonrsquo Shine and Smash-Up Derby This year they were putting their hard work to very good use raising funds to assist the folks from nearby High River who have been affected by the flooding there and a great job they were doing Sponsored by the Vulcan County Cruisers car club this event has been held annually for 27 years and shows no sign of slowing down Cars bikes trucks and even mini cars and tractors are welcomed in the show and this is some grassroots stuff

99 of what you see on display are labours of love There arenrsquot many ldquoso I gave this guy fifty grand and this is what I got backrdquo stories Instead you hear lots of stories about searching half the world for the right trim for the windshield on a rsquo46 Austin or trying to figure out what electric motor from the spare parts pile will automate the doors on a rsquo47 Merc These people donrsquot just own the iron they built it themselves with their buddies farming out as little as they can manage and the love shows in the results

As varied as they were beautiful therersquos a lot of pride poured into these vehicles Coming from Coaldale the Crowsnest Pass even Edmonton and into BC this small quietly advertised event is one helluva good time

This old Merc here was quite a show stopper and crowd favourite on the day The older gent that owns it spent 3 years on restoring and fabrication and only let other folks do the paint and upholstery It was a radical custom and truly original

Continued on Next Page

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

Topher Ingalls (13) took home $800 with two holeshots thanks to the Royal

Distributing Triple Crown and claimed his first National win

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

For Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasakirsquos Austin Politelli the current points leader in the MX2 Championship Gopher Dunes proved to be a bittersweet day Although he managed to finish second behind Ingalls in moto one after a bad start and playing catch-up for most of the moto a technical issue saw him fade from

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Reason In Memory of James White killed in August 8 1944 In France World War II

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

After a hearty supper in their restaurant I went to my room and proceeded to get some work done

The next morning dawned hotter than the day before Stifling hot ndash 36 degrees with the threat of thunderstorms Mother nature was putting on a lightning show and there were thunderheads all around us

I was supposed to head to Toad Rock but opted to stay another night and just worked The rain that was threatening never materialized and at midnight I watched the fireworks with a bunch of young people who were camped out at the Christina Lake Village For about a half hour all you could hear were the oohs and ahhs as we watched the brilliant colors explode in the air over the lake

In the morning Kelly ndash a rider from Vancouver and I had breakfast and a gab He told me

how he had just gotten back into riding after a 20 year hiatus we shared some road trip ideas and then he went off towards Invermere

I left the resort with hugs from Paula and a promise to return soon

The ride to Toad Rock was spent under a stifling hot sun but I enjoyed every second of it Sadly I discovered that the Sirdar Pub was closed down and that Co Owner Rob Kane had been in a bad crash with his pick up I am unclear on all of the details but suffice it to say I found it sad that one of the best food stops on the highway to the Balfour Ferry was closed

I opted to go to Toad Rock via Nelson stopping in Salmo and Fruitvale I had a coffee with the Infamous Bean and a great visit with Randy and Sheri at Leather and

Steel Their business donated $100 to the Conga and my charities

We set a plan for a ride in Nelson with the West Kootenay Road Runners and then I stopped into Toad Rock for a visit with Mother Mary It was good to see her and Grant along with Gerry from Sylvan Lake and a few riders from Saskatchewan ndash the remnants of the July 1st weekend at Toad Rock ndash itrsquos not an event anymore just a gathering of campers that enjoy this place and come together to share their pride in being Canadian

Apparently I missed a really good time

My stop for the evening was to be the Wing Creek Resort just outside of Kaslo so off I went

I met up with Debra from Wing Creek at the Kaslo Hotel as the Rosewood Cafeacute was closed I left my bike parked in front of the Rosewood on the off chance that Grant and PJ would see it and give me a callhellipwhat a great thing to have done as call they did

After my supper of blackened white fish Debra and I went over to the Rosewood and had a great visit with Grant and PJ so great that it was after midnight when we headed off to the resort but not before PJ Grant and I made plans for the morning

This place is a bit of heaven the ride into it was treacherous at night ndash tons of twists and curves but as I would find out the next morning when I left itrsquos wonderful to ride in daylight

The cabin I had was one of 4 that are the same size There is a fifth cabin that is 100 square feet bigger than the others They all have full kitchens with fridges that are stocked with beer and wine and on the counter there are snacks available that you can purchase and the prices are the same as most grocery stores The living room area boasts no TV but gorgeous miniature fireplaces instead The bedroom is expansive and the bathrooms are well appointed

I settled in for the night and was up at the crack of dawn and thoroughly enjoyed having my coffee out on the deck The view from my cabin was stunning And all the cabins are separated by trees that make you feel like you are the only one out there There are BBQ areas for the use of the cabins and the largest cabin has itrsquos own BBQ

At 7 am Debra came and got me and we went for a tour of the facilities There is a huge meeting room building that has tons of storage underneath and offers protected parking in the case of inclement weather The place is filled with amazing art from local artistshellipthis is also the only place you can get Internet accesshellip

In the office there is a wonderful spa with two massage beds and Debra is a registered massage and Reiki therapist

The continental breakfast offered up fruit farm made local jams and local breads etc

Debrarsquos partner Kevin took me in the electric golf cart down to the rental home they have 2300 square feet of absolutely gorgeous timber framed home with views of the lake and mountains that make you feel like you are in the heavens

We then went down to the lakefront ndash that sadly was covered in water from all of the flooding but one could tell how lovely it all is There are a number of intimate spots set out for privacy and a communal area for larger gatherings

There are also canoes that you can take out on the lake The place is just stunning and if you are looking for an intimate place to reconnect with your spouse or to celebrate a wedding or some other milestone you need to consider Wing Creek Resort

It was with a torn heart that I left the resort and rode the 7 or so kilometers into Kaslo where I had breakfast at the Rosewood Cafehellipnow I know Grant is a Red Seal Chef and that he has just overcome a battle with prostate cancer but I was not prepared for the feast that was given to me for breakfast

A homemade tortilla ladened with pulled pork and sweet picled cabbage fajita chicken with a fruit salsa a poached egg with hollandaise sauce and a bowl of fresh fruit

The flavor combinations burst in my mouth and the presentation was so eye appealing and the best part The cost -$12 The Rosewood is filled with family heirlooms and treasures and is every bit as appealing as the gourmet food on a workingmanrsquos budget

The service was impeccable the place is warm and invitinghellipif you ever find yourself in the Kaslo region I highly recommend the Rosewood Cafeacute and can pretty much guarantee that you will walk away feeling like you just ate in a 5 star restaurant

our story your experience

For those of you who might not be aware Vulcan is in fact a real place in Alberta

Itrsquos a town with a great sense of humor a wonderful community spirit and like many (all) rural communities it has a great big heart And yes it DOES have a

giant spaceship on the edge of town

Every year several very fun things happen in Vulcan They have a great summer fair and festival they call Spock days which attracts Star Trek fans from all over generally is attended by thousands and even sports stars from the television shows as guests Theyrsquoll throw a rodeo several parties as well as parades and all that kind of goodness This is generally regarded as one of the best get-togethers of the summer by those around the area and I agree

But my favourite is always the third weekend in July Thatrsquos when they hold the Show lsquonrsquo Shine and Smash-Up Derby This year they were putting their hard work to very good use raising funds to assist the folks from nearby High River who have been affected by the flooding there and a great job they were doing Sponsored by the Vulcan County Cruisers car club this event has been held annually for 27 years and shows no sign of slowing down Cars bikes trucks and even mini cars and tractors are welcomed in the show and this is some grassroots stuff

99 of what you see on display are labours of love There arenrsquot many ldquoso I gave this guy fifty grand and this is what I got backrdquo stories Instead you hear lots of stories about searching half the world for the right trim for the windshield on a rsquo46 Austin or trying to figure out what electric motor from the spare parts pile will automate the doors on a rsquo47 Merc These people donrsquot just own the iron they built it themselves with their buddies farming out as little as they can manage and the love shows in the results

As varied as they were beautiful therersquos a lot of pride poured into these vehicles Coming from Coaldale the Crowsnest Pass even Edmonton and into BC this small quietly advertised event is one helluva good time

This old Merc here was quite a show stopper and crowd favourite on the day The older gent that owns it spent 3 years on restoring and fabrication and only let other folks do the paint and upholstery It was a radical custom and truly original

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

Topher Ingalls (13) took home $800 with two holeshots thanks to the Royal

Distributing Triple Crown and claimed his first National win

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

For Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasakirsquos Austin Politelli the current points leader in the MX2 Championship Gopher Dunes proved to be a bittersweet day Although he managed to finish second behind Ingalls in moto one after a bad start and playing catch-up for most of the moto a technical issue saw him fade from

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Reason In Memory of James White killed in August 8 1944 In France World War II

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

The ride to Toad Rock was spent under a stifling hot sun but I enjoyed every second of it Sadly I discovered that the Sirdar Pub was closed down and that Co Owner Rob Kane had been in a bad crash with his pick up I am unclear on all of the details but suffice it to say I found it sad that one of the best food stops on the highway to the Balfour Ferry was closed

I opted to go to Toad Rock via Nelson stopping in Salmo and Fruitvale I had a coffee with the Infamous Bean and a great visit with Randy and Sheri at Leather and

Steel Their business donated $100 to the Conga and my charities

We set a plan for a ride in Nelson with the West Kootenay Road Runners and then I stopped into Toad Rock for a visit with Mother Mary It was good to see her and Grant along with Gerry from Sylvan Lake and a few riders from Saskatchewan ndash the remnants of the July 1st weekend at Toad Rock ndash itrsquos not an event anymore just a gathering of campers that enjoy this place and come together to share their pride in being Canadian

Apparently I missed a really good time

My stop for the evening was to be the Wing Creek Resort just outside of Kaslo so off I went

I met up with Debra from Wing Creek at the Kaslo Hotel as the Rosewood Cafeacute was closed I left my bike parked in front of the Rosewood on the off chance that Grant and PJ would see it and give me a callhellipwhat a great thing to have done as call they did

After my supper of blackened white fish Debra and I went over to the Rosewood and had a great visit with Grant and PJ so great that it was after midnight when we headed off to the resort but not before PJ Grant and I made plans for the morning

This place is a bit of heaven the ride into it was treacherous at night ndash tons of twists and curves but as I would find out the next morning when I left itrsquos wonderful to ride in daylight

The cabin I had was one of 4 that are the same size There is a fifth cabin that is 100 square feet bigger than the others They all have full kitchens with fridges that are stocked with beer and wine and on the counter there are snacks available that you can purchase and the prices are the same as most grocery stores The living room area boasts no TV but gorgeous miniature fireplaces instead The bedroom is expansive and the bathrooms are well appointed

I settled in for the night and was up at the crack of dawn and thoroughly enjoyed having my coffee out on the deck The view from my cabin was stunning And all the cabins are separated by trees that make you feel like you are the only one out there There are BBQ areas for the use of the cabins and the largest cabin has itrsquos own BBQ

At 7 am Debra came and got me and we went for a tour of the facilities There is a huge meeting room building that has tons of storage underneath and offers protected parking in the case of inclement weather The place is filled with amazing art from local artistshellipthis is also the only place you can get Internet accesshellip

In the office there is a wonderful spa with two massage beds and Debra is a registered massage and Reiki therapist

The continental breakfast offered up fruit farm made local jams and local breads etc

Debrarsquos partner Kevin took me in the electric golf cart down to the rental home they have 2300 square feet of absolutely gorgeous timber framed home with views of the lake and mountains that make you feel like you are in the heavens

We then went down to the lakefront ndash that sadly was covered in water from all of the flooding but one could tell how lovely it all is There are a number of intimate spots set out for privacy and a communal area for larger gatherings

There are also canoes that you can take out on the lake The place is just stunning and if you are looking for an intimate place to reconnect with your spouse or to celebrate a wedding or some other milestone you need to consider Wing Creek Resort

It was with a torn heart that I left the resort and rode the 7 or so kilometers into Kaslo where I had breakfast at the Rosewood Cafehellipnow I know Grant is a Red Seal Chef and that he has just overcome a battle with prostate cancer but I was not prepared for the feast that was given to me for breakfast

A homemade tortilla ladened with pulled pork and sweet picled cabbage fajita chicken with a fruit salsa a poached egg with hollandaise sauce and a bowl of fresh fruit

The flavor combinations burst in my mouth and the presentation was so eye appealing and the best part The cost -$12 The Rosewood is filled with family heirlooms and treasures and is every bit as appealing as the gourmet food on a workingmanrsquos budget

The service was impeccable the place is warm and invitinghellipif you ever find yourself in the Kaslo region I highly recommend the Rosewood Cafeacute and can pretty much guarantee that you will walk away feeling like you just ate in a 5 star restaurant

our story your experience

For those of you who might not be aware Vulcan is in fact a real place in Alberta

Itrsquos a town with a great sense of humor a wonderful community spirit and like many (all) rural communities it has a great big heart And yes it DOES have a

giant spaceship on the edge of town

Every year several very fun things happen in Vulcan They have a great summer fair and festival they call Spock days which attracts Star Trek fans from all over generally is attended by thousands and even sports stars from the television shows as guests Theyrsquoll throw a rodeo several parties as well as parades and all that kind of goodness This is generally regarded as one of the best get-togethers of the summer by those around the area and I agree

But my favourite is always the third weekend in July Thatrsquos when they hold the Show lsquonrsquo Shine and Smash-Up Derby This year they were putting their hard work to very good use raising funds to assist the folks from nearby High River who have been affected by the flooding there and a great job they were doing Sponsored by the Vulcan County Cruisers car club this event has been held annually for 27 years and shows no sign of slowing down Cars bikes trucks and even mini cars and tractors are welcomed in the show and this is some grassroots stuff

99 of what you see on display are labours of love There arenrsquot many ldquoso I gave this guy fifty grand and this is what I got backrdquo stories Instead you hear lots of stories about searching half the world for the right trim for the windshield on a rsquo46 Austin or trying to figure out what electric motor from the spare parts pile will automate the doors on a rsquo47 Merc These people donrsquot just own the iron they built it themselves with their buddies farming out as little as they can manage and the love shows in the results

As varied as they were beautiful therersquos a lot of pride poured into these vehicles Coming from Coaldale the Crowsnest Pass even Edmonton and into BC this small quietly advertised event is one helluva good time

This old Merc here was quite a show stopper and crowd favourite on the day The older gent that owns it spent 3 years on restoring and fabrication and only let other folks do the paint and upholstery It was a radical custom and truly original

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

Topher Ingalls (13) took home $800 with two holeshots thanks to the Royal

Distributing Triple Crown and claimed his first National win

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

For Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasakirsquos Austin Politelli the current points leader in the MX2 Championship Gopher Dunes proved to be a bittersweet day Although he managed to finish second behind Ingalls in moto one after a bad start and playing catch-up for most of the moto a technical issue saw him fade from

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

My stop for the evening was to be the Wing Creek Resort just outside of Kaslo so off I went

I met up with Debra from Wing Creek at the Kaslo Hotel as the Rosewood Cafeacute was closed I left my bike parked in front of the Rosewood on the off chance that Grant and PJ would see it and give me a callhellipwhat a great thing to have done as call they did

After my supper of blackened white fish Debra and I went over to the Rosewood and had a great visit with Grant and PJ so great that it was after midnight when we headed off to the resort but not before PJ Grant and I made plans for the morning

This place is a bit of heaven the ride into it was treacherous at night ndash tons of twists and curves but as I would find out the next morning when I left itrsquos wonderful to ride in daylight

The cabin I had was one of 4 that are the same size There is a fifth cabin that is 100 square feet bigger than the others They all have full kitchens with fridges that are stocked with beer and wine and on the counter there are snacks available that you can purchase and the prices are the same as most grocery stores The living room area boasts no TV but gorgeous miniature fireplaces instead The bedroom is expansive and the bathrooms are well appointed

The view in Kaslo

I settled in for the night and was up at the crack of dawn and thoroughly enjoyed having my coffee out on the deck The view from my cabin was stunning And all the cabins are separated by trees that make you feel like you are the only one out there There are BBQ areas for the use of the cabins and the largest cabin has itrsquos own BBQ

At 7 am Debra came and got me and we went for a tour of the facilities There is a huge meeting room building that has tons of storage underneath and offers protected parking in the case of inclement weather The place is filled with amazing art from local artistshellipthis is also the only place you can get Internet accesshellip

In the office there is a wonderful spa with two massage beds and Debra is a registered massage and Reiki therapist

The continental breakfast offered up fruit farm made local jams and local breads etc

Debrarsquos partner Kevin took me in the electric golf cart down to the rental home they have 2300 square feet of absolutely gorgeous timber framed home with views of the lake and mountains that make you feel like you are in the heavens

We then went down to the lakefront ndash that sadly was covered in water from all of the flooding but one could tell how lovely it all is There are a number of intimate spots set out for privacy and a communal area for larger gatherings

There are also canoes that you can take out on the lake The place is just stunning and if you are looking for an intimate place to reconnect with your spouse or to celebrate a wedding or some other milestone you need to consider Wing Creek Resort

It was with a torn heart that I left the resort and rode the 7 or so kilometers into Kaslo where I had breakfast at the Rosewood Cafehellipnow I know Grant is a Red Seal Chef and that he has just overcome a battle with prostate cancer but I was not prepared for the feast that was given to me for breakfast

A homemade tortilla ladened with pulled pork and sweet picled cabbage fajita chicken with a fruit salsa a poached egg with hollandaise sauce and a bowl of fresh fruit

The flavor combinations burst in my mouth and the presentation was so eye appealing and the best part The cost -$12 The Rosewood is filled with family heirlooms and treasures and is every bit as appealing as the gourmet food on a workingmanrsquos budget

The service was impeccable the place is warm and invitinghellipif you ever find yourself in the Kaslo region I highly recommend the Rosewood Cafeacute and can pretty much guarantee that you will walk away feeling like you just ate in a 5 star restaurant

our story your experience

For those of you who might not be aware Vulcan is in fact a real place in Alberta

Itrsquos a town with a great sense of humor a wonderful community spirit and like many (all) rural communities it has a great big heart And yes it DOES have a

giant spaceship on the edge of town

Every year several very fun things happen in Vulcan They have a great summer fair and festival they call Spock days which attracts Star Trek fans from all over generally is attended by thousands and even sports stars from the television shows as guests Theyrsquoll throw a rodeo several parties as well as parades and all that kind of goodness This is generally regarded as one of the best get-togethers of the summer by those around the area and I agree

But my favourite is always the third weekend in July Thatrsquos when they hold the Show lsquonrsquo Shine and Smash-Up Derby This year they were putting their hard work to very good use raising funds to assist the folks from nearby High River who have been affected by the flooding there and a great job they were doing Sponsored by the Vulcan County Cruisers car club this event has been held annually for 27 years and shows no sign of slowing down Cars bikes trucks and even mini cars and tractors are welcomed in the show and this is some grassroots stuff

99 of what you see on display are labours of love There arenrsquot many ldquoso I gave this guy fifty grand and this is what I got backrdquo stories Instead you hear lots of stories about searching half the world for the right trim for the windshield on a rsquo46 Austin or trying to figure out what electric motor from the spare parts pile will automate the doors on a rsquo47 Merc These people donrsquot just own the iron they built it themselves with their buddies farming out as little as they can manage and the love shows in the results

As varied as they were beautiful therersquos a lot of pride poured into these vehicles Coming from Coaldale the Crowsnest Pass even Edmonton and into BC this small quietly advertised event is one helluva good time

This old Merc here was quite a show stopper and crowd favourite on the day The older gent that owns it spent 3 years on restoring and fabrication and only let other folks do the paint and upholstery It was a radical custom and truly original

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

Topher Ingalls (13) took home $800 with two holeshots thanks to the Royal

Distributing Triple Crown and claimed his first National win

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

For Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasakirsquos Austin Politelli the current points leader in the MX2 Championship Gopher Dunes proved to be a bittersweet day Although he managed to finish second behind Ingalls in moto one after a bad start and playing catch-up for most of the moto a technical issue saw him fade from

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

This place is a bit of heaven the ride into it was treacherous at night ndash tons of twists and curves but as I would find out the next morning when I left itrsquos wonderful to ride in daylight

The cabin I had was one of 4 that are the same size There is a fifth cabin that is 100 square feet bigger than the others They all have full kitchens with fridges that are stocked with beer and wine and on the counter there are snacks available that you can purchase and the prices are the same as most grocery stores The living room area boasts no TV but gorgeous miniature fireplaces instead The bedroom is expansive and the bathrooms are well appointed

Downtown Kaslo

The view in Kaslo

I settled in for the night and was up at the crack of dawn and thoroughly enjoyed having my coffee out on the deck The view from my cabin was stunning And all the cabins are separated by trees that make you feel like you are the only one out there There are BBQ areas for the use of the cabins and the largest cabin has itrsquos own BBQ

At 7 am Debra came and got me and we went for a tour of the facilities There is a huge meeting room building that has tons of storage underneath and offers protected parking in the case of inclement weather The place is filled with amazing art from local artistshellipthis is also the only place you can get Internet accesshellip

In the office there is a wonderful spa with two massage beds and Debra is a registered massage and Reiki therapist

The continental breakfast offered up fruit farm made local jams and local breads etc

Debrarsquos partner Kevin took me in the electric golf cart down to the rental home they have 2300 square feet of absolutely gorgeous timber framed home with views of the lake and mountains that make you feel like you are in the heavens

We then went down to the lakefront ndash that sadly was covered in water from all of the flooding but one could tell how lovely it all is There are a number of intimate spots set out for privacy and a communal area for larger gatherings

There are also canoes that you can take out on the lake The place is just stunning and if you are looking for an intimate place to reconnect with your spouse or to celebrate a wedding or some other milestone you need to consider Wing Creek Resort

It was with a torn heart that I left the resort and rode the 7 or so kilometers into Kaslo where I had breakfast at the Rosewood Cafehellipnow I know Grant is a Red Seal Chef and that he has just overcome a battle with prostate cancer but I was not prepared for the feast that was given to me for breakfast

A homemade tortilla ladened with pulled pork and sweet picled cabbage fajita chicken with a fruit salsa a poached egg with hollandaise sauce and a bowl of fresh fruit

The flavor combinations burst in my mouth and the presentation was so eye appealing and the best part The cost -$12 The Rosewood is filled with family heirlooms and treasures and is every bit as appealing as the gourmet food on a workingmanrsquos budget

The service was impeccable the place is warm and invitinghellipif you ever find yourself in the Kaslo region I highly recommend the Rosewood Cafeacute and can pretty much guarantee that you will walk away feeling like you just ate in a 5 star restaurant

our story your experience

For those of you who might not be aware Vulcan is in fact a real place in Alberta

Itrsquos a town with a great sense of humor a wonderful community spirit and like many (all) rural communities it has a great big heart And yes it DOES have a

giant spaceship on the edge of town

Every year several very fun things happen in Vulcan They have a great summer fair and festival they call Spock days which attracts Star Trek fans from all over generally is attended by thousands and even sports stars from the television shows as guests Theyrsquoll throw a rodeo several parties as well as parades and all that kind of goodness This is generally regarded as one of the best get-togethers of the summer by those around the area and I agree

But my favourite is always the third weekend in July Thatrsquos when they hold the Show lsquonrsquo Shine and Smash-Up Derby This year they were putting their hard work to very good use raising funds to assist the folks from nearby High River who have been affected by the flooding there and a great job they were doing Sponsored by the Vulcan County Cruisers car club this event has been held annually for 27 years and shows no sign of slowing down Cars bikes trucks and even mini cars and tractors are welcomed in the show and this is some grassroots stuff

99 of what you see on display are labours of love There arenrsquot many ldquoso I gave this guy fifty grand and this is what I got backrdquo stories Instead you hear lots of stories about searching half the world for the right trim for the windshield on a rsquo46 Austin or trying to figure out what electric motor from the spare parts pile will automate the doors on a rsquo47 Merc These people donrsquot just own the iron they built it themselves with their buddies farming out as little as they can manage and the love shows in the results

As varied as they were beautiful therersquos a lot of pride poured into these vehicles Coming from Coaldale the Crowsnest Pass even Edmonton and into BC this small quietly advertised event is one helluva good time

This old Merc here was quite a show stopper and crowd favourite on the day The older gent that owns it spent 3 years on restoring and fabrication and only let other folks do the paint and upholstery It was a radical custom and truly original

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

Topher Ingalls (13) took home $800 with two holeshots thanks to the Royal

Distributing Triple Crown and claimed his first National win

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

For Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasakirsquos Austin Politelli the current points leader in the MX2 Championship Gopher Dunes proved to be a bittersweet day Although he managed to finish second behind Ingalls in moto one after a bad start and playing catch-up for most of the moto a technical issue saw him fade from

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Reason In Memory of James White killed in August 8 1944 In France World War II

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

This place is a bit of heaven the ride into it was treacherous at night ndash tons of twists and curves but as I would find out the next morning when I left itrsquos wonderful to ride in daylight

The cabin I had was one of 4 that are the same size There is a fifth cabin that is 100 square feet bigger than the others They all have full kitchens with fridges that are stocked with beer and wine and on the counter there are snacks available that you can purchase and the prices are the same as most grocery stores The living room area boasts no TV but gorgeous miniature fireplaces instead The bedroom is expansive and the bathrooms are well appointed

Downtown Kaslo

Korea War Vets Memorial in Kaslo

The view from the deck of the Kaslo Hotel

The view in Kaslo

I settled in for the night and was up at the crack of dawn and thoroughly enjoyed having my coffee out on the deck The view from my cabin was stunning And all the cabins are separated by trees that make you feel like you are the only one out there There are BBQ areas for the use of the cabins and the largest cabin has itrsquos own BBQ

At 7 am Debra came and got me and we went for a tour of the facilities There is a huge meeting room building that has tons of storage underneath and offers protected parking in the case of inclement weather The place is filled with amazing art from local artistshellipthis is also the only place you can get Internet accesshellip

In the office there is a wonderful spa with two massage beds and Debra is a registered massage and Reiki therapist

The continental breakfast offered up fruit farm made local jams and local breads etc

Debrarsquos partner Kevin took me in the electric golf cart down to the rental home they have 2300 square feet of absolutely gorgeous timber framed home with views of the lake and mountains that make you feel like you are in the heavens

We then went down to the lakefront ndash that sadly was covered in water from all of the flooding but one could tell how lovely it all is There are a number of intimate spots set out for privacy and a communal area for larger gatherings

There are also canoes that you can take out on the lake The place is just stunning and if you are looking for an intimate place to reconnect with your spouse or to celebrate a wedding or some other milestone you need to consider Wing Creek Resort

It was with a torn heart that I left the resort and rode the 7 or so kilometers into Kaslo where I had breakfast at the Rosewood Cafehellipnow I know Grant is a Red Seal Chef and that he has just overcome a battle with prostate cancer but I was not prepared for the feast that was given to me for breakfast

A homemade tortilla ladened with pulled pork and sweet picled cabbage fajita chicken with a fruit salsa a poached egg with hollandaise sauce and a bowl of fresh fruit

The flavor combinations burst in my mouth and the presentation was so eye appealing and the best part The cost -$12 The Rosewood is filled with family heirlooms and treasures and is every bit as appealing as the gourmet food on a workingmanrsquos budget

The service was impeccable the place is warm and invitinghellipif you ever find yourself in the Kaslo region I highly recommend the Rosewood Cafeacute and can pretty much guarantee that you will walk away feeling like you just ate in a 5 star restaurant

our story your experience

For those of you who might not be aware Vulcan is in fact a real place in Alberta

Itrsquos a town with a great sense of humor a wonderful community spirit and like many (all) rural communities it has a great big heart And yes it DOES have a

giant spaceship on the edge of town

Every year several very fun things happen in Vulcan They have a great summer fair and festival they call Spock days which attracts Star Trek fans from all over generally is attended by thousands and even sports stars from the television shows as guests Theyrsquoll throw a rodeo several parties as well as parades and all that kind of goodness This is generally regarded as one of the best get-togethers of the summer by those around the area and I agree

But my favourite is always the third weekend in July Thatrsquos when they hold the Show lsquonrsquo Shine and Smash-Up Derby This year they were putting their hard work to very good use raising funds to assist the folks from nearby High River who have been affected by the flooding there and a great job they were doing Sponsored by the Vulcan County Cruisers car club this event has been held annually for 27 years and shows no sign of slowing down Cars bikes trucks and even mini cars and tractors are welcomed in the show and this is some grassroots stuff

99 of what you see on display are labours of love There arenrsquot many ldquoso I gave this guy fifty grand and this is what I got backrdquo stories Instead you hear lots of stories about searching half the world for the right trim for the windshield on a rsquo46 Austin or trying to figure out what electric motor from the spare parts pile will automate the doors on a rsquo47 Merc These people donrsquot just own the iron they built it themselves with their buddies farming out as little as they can manage and the love shows in the results

As varied as they were beautiful therersquos a lot of pride poured into these vehicles Coming from Coaldale the Crowsnest Pass even Edmonton and into BC this small quietly advertised event is one helluva good time

This old Merc here was quite a show stopper and crowd favourite on the day The older gent that owns it spent 3 years on restoring and fabrication and only let other folks do the paint and upholstery It was a radical custom and truly original

Thunder Lizard Lips Off amp AB EventsThe Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 17

Continued on Next Page

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

For Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasakirsquos Austin Politelli the current points leader in the MX2 Championship Gopher Dunes proved to be a bittersweet day Although he managed to finish second behind Ingalls in moto one after a bad start and playing catch-up for most of the moto a technical issue saw him fade from

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Reason In Memory of James White killed in August 8 1944 In France World War II

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Newfie Airliner

An airliner is coming into land at an airport obscured by fog Visibility is practically nil the ILS system is on the blink so the newfie pilot has to land on wits alone

Flaps check he says to the co-pilot Landing Gear check Altitude check Right were going in Hold on

The plane lands and comes to a screeching grinding halt just short of the edge of the runway Holy Cow exclaims the pilot This must be the shortest runway Ive ever landed on

The newfie co-pilot looks left and right and says Yeah and about the widest too

Repairman

Mrs Peterson phoned the repairman because her dishwasher quit working

Painful Breakup

A marine was deployed to Afghanistan While he was there he received a letter from his girlfriend In the letter she explained that she had slept with two guys while he had been gone and she wanted to break up with him and she wanted pictures of herself back

So the Marine did what any squared-away marine would do He went around to his buddies and collected all the unwanted photos of women that he could find He then mailed about 25 pictures of women (with clothes and without) to his girlfriend with the following note

I dont remember which one you are Please remove your pictures and send the rest back

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Page 8: The Busted Knuckle Chronicles  29th Edition 2013

I settled in for the night and was up at the crack of dawn and thoroughly enjoyed having my coffee out on the deck The view from my cabin was stunning And all the cabins are separated by trees that make you feel like you are the only one out there There are BBQ areas for the use of the cabins and the largest cabin has itrsquos own BBQ

At 7 am Debra came and got me and we went for a tour of the facilities There is a huge meeting room building that has tons of storage underneath and offers protected parking in the case of inclement weather The place is filled with amazing art from local artistshellipthis is also the only place you can get Internet accesshellip

In the office there is a wonderful spa with two massage beds and Debra is a registered massage and Reiki therapist

The continental breakfast offered up fruit farm made local jams and local breads etc

Debrarsquos partner Kevin took me in the electric golf cart down to the rental home they have 2300 square feet of absolutely gorgeous timber framed home with views of the lake and mountains that make you feel like you are in the heavens

We then went down to the lakefront ndash that sadly was covered in water from all of the flooding but one could tell how lovely it all is There are a number of intimate spots set out for privacy and a communal area for larger gatherings

There are also canoes that you can take out on the lake The place is just stunning and if you are looking for an intimate place to reconnect with your spouse or to celebrate a wedding or some other milestone you need to consider Wing Creek Resort

It was with a torn heart that I left the resort and rode the 7 or so kilometers into Kaslo where I had breakfast at the Rosewood Cafehellipnow I know Grant is a Red Seal Chef and that he has just overcome a battle with prostate cancer but I was not prepared for the feast that was given to me for breakfast

A homemade tortilla ladened with pulled pork and sweet picled cabbage fajita chicken with a fruit salsa a poached egg with hollandaise sauce and a bowl of fresh fruit

The flavor combinations burst in my mouth and the presentation was so eye appealing and the best part The cost -$12 The Rosewood is filled with family heirlooms and treasures and is every bit as appealing as the gourmet food on a workingmanrsquos budget

The service was impeccable the place is warm and invitinghellipif you ever find yourself in the Kaslo region I highly recommend the Rosewood Cafeacute and can pretty much guarantee that you will walk away feeling like you just ate in a 5 star restaurant

our story your experience

For those of you who might not be aware Vulcan is in fact a real place in Alberta

Itrsquos a town with a great sense of humor a wonderful community spirit and like many (all) rural communities it has a great big heart And yes it DOES have a

giant spaceship on the edge of town

Every year several very fun things happen in Vulcan They have a great summer fair and festival they call Spock days which attracts Star Trek fans from all over generally is attended by thousands and even sports stars from the television shows as guests Theyrsquoll throw a rodeo several parties as well as parades and all that kind of goodness This is generally regarded as one of the best get-togethers of the summer by those around the area and I agree

But my favourite is always the third weekend in July Thatrsquos when they hold the Show lsquonrsquo Shine and Smash-Up Derby This year they were putting their hard work to very good use raising funds to assist the folks from nearby High River who have been affected by the flooding there and a great job they were doing Sponsored by the Vulcan County Cruisers car club this event has been held annually for 27 years and shows no sign of slowing down Cars bikes trucks and even mini cars and tractors are welcomed in the show and this is some grassroots stuff

99 of what you see on display are labours of love There arenrsquot many ldquoso I gave this guy fifty grand and this is what I got backrdquo stories Instead you hear lots of stories about searching half the world for the right trim for the windshield on a rsquo46 Austin or trying to figure out what electric motor from the spare parts pile will automate the doors on a rsquo47 Merc These people donrsquot just own the iron they built it themselves with their buddies farming out as little as they can manage and the love shows in the results

As varied as they were beautiful therersquos a lot of pride poured into these vehicles Coming from Coaldale the Crowsnest Pass even Edmonton and into BC this small quietly advertised event is one helluva good time

This old Merc here was quite a show stopper and crowd favourite on the day The older gent that owns it spent 3 years on restoring and fabrication and only let other folks do the paint and upholstery It was a radical custom and truly original

Thunder Lizard Lips Off amp AB EventsThe Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 17

Continued on Next Page

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

For Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasakirsquos Austin Politelli the current points leader in the MX2 Championship Gopher Dunes proved to be a bittersweet day Although he managed to finish second behind Ingalls in moto one after a bad start and playing catch-up for most of the moto a technical issue saw him fade from

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

There are also canoes that you can take out on the lake The place is just stunning and if you are looking for an intimate place to reconnect with your spouse or to celebrate a wedding or some other milestone you need to consider Wing Creek Resort

It was with a torn heart that I left the resort and rode the 7 or so kilometers into Kaslo where I had breakfast at the Rosewood Cafehellipnow I know Grant is a Red Seal Chef and that he has just overcome a battle with prostate cancer but I was not prepared for the feast that was given to me for breakfast

A homemade tortilla ladened with pulled pork and sweet picled cabbage fajita chicken with a fruit salsa a poached egg with hollandaise sauce and a bowl of fresh fruit

The flavor combinations burst in my mouth and the presentation was so eye appealing and the best part The cost -$12 The Rosewood is filled with family heirlooms and treasures and is every bit as appealing as the gourmet food on a workingmanrsquos budget

The service was impeccable the place is warm and invitinghellipif you ever find yourself in the Kaslo region I highly recommend the Rosewood Cafeacute and can pretty much guarantee that you will walk away feeling like you just ate in a 5 star restaurant

our story your experience

For those of you who might not be aware Vulcan is in fact a real place in Alberta

Itrsquos a town with a great sense of humor a wonderful community spirit and like many (all) rural communities it has a great big heart And yes it DOES have a

giant spaceship on the edge of town

Every year several very fun things happen in Vulcan They have a great summer fair and festival they call Spock days which attracts Star Trek fans from all over generally is attended by thousands and even sports stars from the television shows as guests Theyrsquoll throw a rodeo several parties as well as parades and all that kind of goodness This is generally regarded as one of the best get-togethers of the summer by those around the area and I agree

But my favourite is always the third weekend in July Thatrsquos when they hold the Show lsquonrsquo Shine and Smash-Up Derby This year they were putting their hard work to very good use raising funds to assist the folks from nearby High River who have been affected by the flooding there and a great job they were doing Sponsored by the Vulcan County Cruisers car club this event has been held annually for 27 years and shows no sign of slowing down Cars bikes trucks and even mini cars and tractors are welcomed in the show and this is some grassroots stuff

99 of what you see on display are labours of love There arenrsquot many ldquoso I gave this guy fifty grand and this is what I got backrdquo stories Instead you hear lots of stories about searching half the world for the right trim for the windshield on a rsquo46 Austin or trying to figure out what electric motor from the spare parts pile will automate the doors on a rsquo47 Merc These people donrsquot just own the iron they built it themselves with their buddies farming out as little as they can manage and the love shows in the results

As varied as they were beautiful therersquos a lot of pride poured into these vehicles Coming from Coaldale the Crowsnest Pass even Edmonton and into BC this small quietly advertised event is one helluva good time

This old Merc here was quite a show stopper and crowd favourite on the day The older gent that owns it spent 3 years on restoring and fabrication and only let other folks do the paint and upholstery It was a radical custom and truly original

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

Distributing Triple Crown and claimed his first National win

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

our story your experience

For those of you who might not be aware Vulcan is in fact a real place in Alberta

Itrsquos a town with a great sense of humor a wonderful community spirit and like many (all) rural communities it has a great big heart And yes it DOES have a

giant spaceship on the edge of town

Every year several very fun things happen in Vulcan They have a great summer fair and festival they call Spock days which attracts Star Trek fans from all over generally is attended by thousands and even sports stars from the television shows as guests Theyrsquoll throw a rodeo several parties as well as parades and all that kind of goodness This is generally regarded as one of the best get-togethers of the summer by those around the area and I agree

But my favourite is always the third weekend in July Thatrsquos when they hold the Show lsquonrsquo Shine and Smash-Up Derby This year they were putting their hard work to very good use raising funds to assist the folks from nearby High River who have been affected by the flooding there and a great job they were doing Sponsored by the Vulcan County Cruisers car club this event has been held annually for 27 years and shows no sign of slowing down Cars bikes trucks and even mini cars and tractors are welcomed in the show and this is some grassroots stuff

99 of what you see on display are labours of love There arenrsquot many ldquoso I gave this guy fifty grand and this is what I got backrdquo stories Instead you hear lots of stories about searching half the world for the right trim for the windshield on a rsquo46 Austin or trying to figure out what electric motor from the spare parts pile will automate the doors on a rsquo47 Merc These people donrsquot just own the iron they built it themselves with their buddies farming out as little as they can manage and the love shows in the results

As varied as they were beautiful therersquos a lot of pride poured into these vehicles Coming from Coaldale the Crowsnest Pass even Edmonton and into BC this small quietly advertised event is one helluva good time

This old Merc here was quite a show stopper and crowd favourite on the day The older gent that owns it spent 3 years on restoring and fabrication and only let other folks do the paint and upholstery It was a radical custom and truly original

Continued on Next Page

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

our story your experience

For those of you who might not be aware Vulcan is in fact a real place in Alberta

Itrsquos a town with a great sense of humor a wonderful community spirit and like many (all) rural communities it has a great big heart And yes it DOES have a

giant spaceship on the edge of town

Every year several very fun things happen in Vulcan They have a great summer fair and festival they call Spock days which attracts Star Trek fans from all over generally is attended by thousands and even sports stars from the television shows as guests Theyrsquoll throw a rodeo several parties as well as parades and all that kind of goodness This is generally regarded as one of the best get-togethers of the summer by those around the area and I agree

But my favourite is always the third weekend in July Thatrsquos when they hold the Show lsquonrsquo Shine and Smash-Up Derby This year they were putting their hard work to very good use raising funds to assist the folks from nearby High River who have been affected by the flooding there and a great job they were doing Sponsored by the Vulcan County Cruisers car club this event has been held annually for 27 years and shows no sign of slowing down Cars bikes trucks and even mini cars and tractors are welcomed in the show and this is some grassroots stuff

99 of what you see on display are labours of love There arenrsquot many ldquoso I gave this guy fifty grand and this is what I got backrdquo stories Instead you hear lots of stories about searching half the world for the right trim for the windshield on a rsquo46 Austin or trying to figure out what electric motor from the spare parts pile will automate the doors on a rsquo47 Merc These people donrsquot just own the iron they built it themselves with their buddies farming out as little as they can manage and the love shows in the results

As varied as they were beautiful therersquos a lot of pride poured into these vehicles Coming from Coaldale the Crowsnest Pass even Edmonton and into BC this small quietly advertised event is one helluva good time

This old Merc here was quite a show stopper and crowd favourite on the day The older gent that owns it spent 3 years on restoring and fabrication and only let other folks do the paint and upholstery It was a radical custom and truly original

Continued on Next Page

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT UN GROS MERCI POUR VOTRE SUPPORT

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

our story your experience

For those of you who might not be aware Vulcan is in fact a real place in Alberta

Itrsquos a town with a great sense of humor a wonderful community spirit and like many (all) rural communities it has a great big heart And yes it DOES have a

giant spaceship on the edge of town

Every year several very fun things happen in Vulcan They have a great summer fair and festival they call Spock days which attracts Star Trek fans from all over generally is attended by thousands and even sports stars from the television shows as guests Theyrsquoll throw a rodeo several parties as well as parades and all that kind of goodness This is generally regarded as one of the best get-togethers of the summer by those around the area and I agree

But my favourite is always the third weekend in July Thatrsquos when they hold the Show lsquonrsquo Shine and Smash-Up Derby This year they were putting their hard work to very good use raising funds to assist the folks from nearby High River who have been affected by the flooding there and a great job they were doing Sponsored by the Vulcan County Cruisers car club this event has been held annually for 27 years and shows no sign of slowing down Cars bikes trucks and even mini cars and tractors are welcomed in the show and this is some grassroots stuff

99 of what you see on display are labours of love There arenrsquot many ldquoso I gave this guy fifty grand and this is what I got backrdquo stories Instead you hear lots of stories about searching half the world for the right trim for the windshield on a rsquo46 Austin or trying to figure out what electric motor from the spare parts pile will automate the doors on a rsquo47 Merc These people donrsquot just own the iron they built it themselves with their buddies farming out as little as they can manage and the love shows in the results

As varied as they were beautiful therersquos a lot of pride poured into these vehicles Coming from Coaldale the Crowsnest Pass even Edmonton and into BC this small quietly advertised event is one helluva good time

This old Merc here was quite a show stopper and crowd favourite on the day The older gent that owns it spent 3 years on restoring and fabrication and only let other folks do the paint and upholstery It was a radical custom and truly original

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

For Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasakirsquos Austin Politelli the current points leader in the MX2 Championship Gopher Dunes proved to be a bittersweet day Although he managed to finish second behind Ingalls in moto one after a bad start and playing catch-up for most of the moto a technical issue saw him fade from

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

our story your experience

For those of you who might not be aware Vulcan is in fact a real place in Alberta

Itrsquos a town with a great sense of humor a wonderful community spirit and like many (all) rural communities it has a great big heart And yes it DOES have a

giant spaceship on the edge of town

Every year several very fun things happen in Vulcan They have a great summer fair and festival they call Spock days which attracts Star Trek fans from all over generally is attended by thousands and even sports stars from the television shows as guests Theyrsquoll throw a rodeo several parties as well as parades and all that kind of goodness This is generally regarded as one of the best get-togethers of the summer by those around the area and I agree

But my favourite is always the third weekend in July Thatrsquos when they hold the Show lsquonrsquo Shine and Smash-Up Derby This year they were putting their hard work to very good use raising funds to assist the folks from nearby High River who have been affected by the flooding there and a great job they were doing Sponsored by the Vulcan County Cruisers car club this event has been held annually for 27 years and shows no sign of slowing down Cars bikes trucks and even mini cars and tractors are welcomed in the show and this is some grassroots stuff

99 of what you see on display are labours of love There arenrsquot many ldquoso I gave this guy fifty grand and this is what I got backrdquo stories Instead you hear lots of stories about searching half the world for the right trim for the windshield on a rsquo46 Austin or trying to figure out what electric motor from the spare parts pile will automate the doors on a rsquo47 Merc These people donrsquot just own the iron they built it themselves with their buddies farming out as little as they can manage and the love shows in the results

As varied as they were beautiful therersquos a lot of pride poured into these vehicles Coming from Coaldale the Crowsnest Pass even Edmonton and into BC this small quietly advertised event is one helluva good time

This old Merc here was quite a show stopper and crowd favourite on the day The older gent that owns it spent 3 years on restoring and fabrication and only let other folks do the paint and upholstery It was a radical custom and truly original

Continued on Next Page

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

Topher Ingalls (13) took home $800 with two holeshots thanks to the Royal

Distributing Triple Crown and claimed his first National win

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

For Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasakirsquos Austin Politelli the current points leader in the MX2 Championship Gopher Dunes proved to be a bittersweet day Although he managed to finish second behind Ingalls in moto one after a bad start and playing catch-up for most of the moto a technical issue saw him fade from

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Reason In Memory of James White killed in August 8 1944 In France World War II

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

our story your experience

For those of you who might not be aware Vulcan is in fact a real place in Alberta

Itrsquos a town with a great sense of humor a wonderful community spirit and like many (all) rural communities it has a great big heart And yes it DOES have a

giant spaceship on the edge of town

Every year several very fun things happen in Vulcan They have a great summer fair and festival they call Spock days which attracts Star Trek fans from all over generally is attended by thousands and even sports stars from the television shows as guests Theyrsquoll throw a rodeo several parties as well as parades and all that kind of goodness This is generally regarded as one of the best get-togethers of the summer by those around the area and I agree

But my favourite is always the third weekend in July Thatrsquos when they hold the Show lsquonrsquo Shine and Smash-Up Derby This year they were putting their hard work to very good use raising funds to assist the folks from nearby High River who have been affected by the flooding there and a great job they were doing Sponsored by the Vulcan County Cruisers car club this event has been held annually for 27 years and shows no sign of slowing down Cars bikes trucks and even mini cars and tractors are welcomed in the show and this is some grassroots stuff

99 of what you see on display are labours of love There arenrsquot many ldquoso I gave this guy fifty grand and this is what I got backrdquo stories Instead you hear lots of stories about searching half the world for the right trim for the windshield on a rsquo46 Austin or trying to figure out what electric motor from the spare parts pile will automate the doors on a rsquo47 Merc These people donrsquot just own the iron they built it themselves with their buddies farming out as little as they can manage and the love shows in the results

As varied as they were beautiful therersquos a lot of pride poured into these vehicles Coming from Coaldale the Crowsnest Pass even Edmonton and into BC this small quietly advertised event is one helluva good time

This old Merc here was quite a show stopper and crowd favourite on the day The older gent that owns it spent 3 years on restoring and fabrication and only let other folks do the paint and upholstery It was a radical custom and truly original

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT UN GROS MERCI POUR VOTRE SUPPORT

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

our story your experience

For those of you who might not be aware Vulcan is in fact a real place in Alberta

Itrsquos a town with a great sense of humor a wonderful community spirit and like many (all) rural communities it has a great big heart And yes it DOES have a

giant spaceship on the edge of town

Every year several very fun things happen in Vulcan They have a great summer fair and festival they call Spock days which attracts Star Trek fans from all over generally is attended by thousands and even sports stars from the television shows as guests Theyrsquoll throw a rodeo several parties as well as parades and all that kind of goodness This is generally regarded as one of the best get-togethers of the summer by those around the area and I agree

But my favourite is always the third weekend in July Thatrsquos when they hold the Show lsquonrsquo Shine and Smash-Up Derby This year they were putting their hard work to very good use raising funds to assist the folks from nearby High River who have been affected by the flooding there and a great job they were doing Sponsored by the Vulcan County Cruisers car club this event has been held annually for 27 years and shows no sign of slowing down Cars bikes trucks and even mini cars and tractors are welcomed in the show and this is some grassroots stuff

99 of what you see on display are labours of love There arenrsquot many ldquoso I gave this guy fifty grand and this is what I got backrdquo stories Instead you hear lots of stories about searching half the world for the right trim for the windshield on a rsquo46 Austin or trying to figure out what electric motor from the spare parts pile will automate the doors on a rsquo47 Merc These people donrsquot just own the iron they built it themselves with their buddies farming out as little as they can manage and the love shows in the results

As varied as they were beautiful therersquos a lot of pride poured into these vehicles Coming from Coaldale the Crowsnest Pass even Edmonton and into BC this small quietly advertised event is one helluva good time

This old Merc here was quite a show stopper and crowd favourite on the day The older gent that owns it spent 3 years on restoring and fabrication and only let other folks do the paint and upholstery It was a radical custom and truly original

Continued on Next Page

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT UN GROS MERCI POUR VOTRE SUPPORT

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

our story your experience

For those of you who might not be aware Vulcan is in fact a real place in Alberta

Itrsquos a town with a great sense of humor a wonderful community spirit and like many (all) rural communities it has a great big heart And yes it DOES have a

giant spaceship on the edge of town

Every year several very fun things happen in Vulcan They have a great summer fair and festival they call Spock days which attracts Star Trek fans from all over generally is attended by thousands and even sports stars from the television shows as guests Theyrsquoll throw a rodeo several parties as well as parades and all that kind of goodness This is generally regarded as one of the best get-togethers of the summer by those around the area and I agree

But my favourite is always the third weekend in July Thatrsquos when they hold the Show lsquonrsquo Shine and Smash-Up Derby This year they were putting their hard work to very good use raising funds to assist the folks from nearby High River who have been affected by the flooding there and a great job they were doing Sponsored by the Vulcan County Cruisers car club this event has been held annually for 27 years and shows no sign of slowing down Cars bikes trucks and even mini cars and tractors are welcomed in the show and this is some grassroots stuff

99 of what you see on display are labours of love There arenrsquot many ldquoso I gave this guy fifty grand and this is what I got backrdquo stories Instead you hear lots of stories about searching half the world for the right trim for the windshield on a rsquo46 Austin or trying to figure out what electric motor from the spare parts pile will automate the doors on a rsquo47 Merc These people donrsquot just own the iron they built it themselves with their buddies farming out as little as they can manage and the love shows in the results

As varied as they were beautiful therersquos a lot of pride poured into these vehicles Coming from Coaldale the Crowsnest Pass even Edmonton and into BC this small quietly advertised event is one helluva good time

This old Merc here was quite a show stopper and crowd favourite on the day The older gent that owns it spent 3 years on restoring and fabrication and only let other folks do the paint and upholstery It was a radical custom and truly original

Continued on Next Page

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

Distributing Triple Crown and claimed his first National win

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

For Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasakirsquos Austin Politelli the current points leader in the MX2 Championship Gopher Dunes proved to be a bittersweet day Although he managed to finish second behind Ingalls in moto one after a bad start and playing catch-up for most of the moto a technical issue saw him fade from

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Reason In Memory of James White killed in August 8 1944 In France World War II

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

For those of you who might not be aware Vulcan is in fact a real place in Alberta

Itrsquos a town with a great sense of humor a wonderful community spirit and like many (all) rural communities it has a great big heart And yes it DOES have a

giant spaceship on the edge of town

Every year several very fun things happen in Vulcan They have a great summer fair and festival they call Spock days which attracts Star Trek fans from all over generally is attended by thousands and even sports stars from the television shows as guests Theyrsquoll throw a rodeo several parties as well as parades and all that kind of goodness This is generally regarded as one of the best get-togethers of the summer by those around the area and I agree

But my favourite is always the third weekend in July Thatrsquos when they hold the Show lsquonrsquo Shine and Smash-Up Derby This year they were putting their hard work to very good use raising funds to assist the folks from nearby High River who have been affected by the flooding there and a great job they were doing Sponsored by the Vulcan County Cruisers car club this event has been held annually for 27 years and shows no sign of slowing down Cars bikes trucks and even mini cars and tractors are welcomed in the show and this is some grassroots stuff

99 of what you see on display are labours of love There arenrsquot many ldquoso I gave this guy fifty grand and this is what I got backrdquo stories Instead you hear lots of stories about searching half the world for the right trim for the windshield on a rsquo46 Austin or trying to figure out what electric motor from the spare parts pile will automate the doors on a rsquo47 Merc These people donrsquot just own the iron they built it themselves with their buddies farming out as little as they can manage and the love shows in the results

As varied as they were beautiful therersquos a lot of pride poured into these vehicles Coming from Coaldale the Crowsnest Pass even Edmonton and into BC this small quietly advertised event is one helluva good time

This old Merc here was quite a show stopper and crowd favourite on the day The older gent that owns it spent 3 years on restoring and fabrication and only let other folks do the paint and upholstery It was a radical custom and truly original

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT UN GROS MERCI POUR VOTRE SUPPORT

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Itrsquos pretty rare you get to see a really nice rsquo47 Shovelhead but itrsquos even more rare that itrsquos found in the back of a rsquo46 International pickup This was a beauty machine

The judging for this one is very cool if you ask me Rather than a panel of judges or just doing peoplersquos choice itrsquos the people who enter in the contest who do the judging

Every single owner checks out every other vehicle and they choose the category winners With that being said we all thought

it was very cool that the Best Motorcycle went to a first timer a great young lady with a very brilliantly blue Vulcan Drifter

We cruised out there Saturday at lunchtime and the weather was fantastic As we cruised 9 Kawaskai Vulcans into town we were greeted by waves and cheers and huge grins these folks arenrsquot anti-biker thatrsquos for sure They know wersquore all there for the same reasons and everybody is welcome Theyrsquove

even asked if we want to put together a crowd of Vulcan bikes for the parade next year how cool is that

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

For Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasakirsquos Austin Politelli the current points leader in the MX2 Championship Gopher Dunes proved to be a bittersweet day Although he managed to finish second behind Ingalls in moto one after a bad start and playing catch-up for most of the moto a technical issue saw him fade from

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

Topher Ingalls (13) took home $800 with two holeshots thanks to the Royal

Distributing Triple Crown and claimed his first National win

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

For Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasakirsquos Austin Politelli the current points leader in the MX2 Championship Gopher Dunes proved to be a bittersweet day Although he managed to finish second behind Ingalls in moto one after a bad start and playing catch-up for most of the moto a technical issue saw him fade from

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 43SOT - Long Walk to Sanity

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT UN GROS MERCI POUR VOTRE SUPPORT

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

Topher Ingalls (13) took home $800 with two holeshots thanks to the Royal

Distributing Triple Crown and claimed his first National win

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

For Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasakirsquos Austin Politelli the current points leader in the MX2 Championship Gopher Dunes proved to be a bittersweet day Although he managed to finish second behind Ingalls in moto one after a bad start and playing catch-up for most of the moto a technical issue saw him fade from

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Reason In Memory of James White killed in August 8 1944 In France World War II

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Newfie Airliner

An airliner is coming into land at an airport obscured by fog Visibility is practically nil the ILS system is on the blink so the newfie pilot has to land on wits alone

Flaps check he says to the co-pilot Landing Gear check Altitude check Right were going in Hold on

The plane lands and comes to a screeching grinding halt just short of the edge of the runway Holy Cow exclaims the pilot This must be the shortest runway Ive ever landed on

The newfie co-pilot looks left and right and says Yeah and about the widest too

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT UN GROS MERCI POUR VOTRE SUPPORT

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

For Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasakirsquos Austin Politelli the current points leader in the MX2 Championship Gopher Dunes proved to be a bittersweet day Although he managed to finish second behind Ingalls in moto one after a bad start and playing catch-up for most of the moto a technical issue saw him fade from

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 43SOT - Long Walk to Sanity

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT UN GROS MERCI POUR VOTRE SUPPORT

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

For Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasakirsquos Austin Politelli the current points leader in the MX2 Championship Gopher Dunes proved to be a bittersweet day Although he managed to finish second behind Ingalls in moto one after a bad start and playing catch-up for most of the moto a technical issue saw him fade from

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Newfie Airliner

An airliner is coming into land at an airport obscured by fog Visibility is practically nil the ILS system is on the blink so the newfie pilot has to land on wits alone

Flaps check he says to the co-pilot Landing Gear check Altitude check Right were going in Hold on

The plane lands and comes to a screeching grinding halt just short of the edge of the runway Holy Cow exclaims the pilot This must be the shortest runway Ive ever landed on

The newfie co-pilot looks left and right and says Yeah and about the widest too

Mrs Peterson phoned the repairman because her dishwasher quit working

He couldnt accommodate her with an after-hours appointment and since she had to go to work she told him Ill leave the key under the mat Fix the dish washer leave the bill on the counter and Ill mail you a check By the way I have a large rotweiler inside named Killer he wont bother you I also have a parrot and whatever you do do not talk to the bird

Well sure enough the dog Killer totally ignored the repairman but the whole time he was there the parrot cursed yelled screamed and about drove him nuts

Painful Breakup

A marine was deployed to Afghanistan While he was there he received a letter from his girlfriend In the letter she explained that she had slept with two guys while he had been gone and she wanted to break up with him and she wanted pictures of herself back

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

Distributing Triple Crown and claimed his first National win

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

Cole Thompson who joined the second half of the series riding an injured Colton Facciottirsquos Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTM bike registered an impressive fourth place finish in the first moto Problems in the

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

For Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasakirsquos Austin Politelli the current points leader in the MX2 Championship Gopher Dunes proved to be a bittersweet day Although he managed to finish second behind Ingalls in moto one after a bad start and playing catch-up for most of the moto a technical issue saw him fade from

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Brett Metcalfe chalks up another MX1 victory

Topher Ingalls takes MX2 win Under a burning sun and blistering temperatures that hovered around 30ordmC Brett Metcalfe won both MX1 motos at Round 5 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Gopher Dunes in Courtland Ontario on Sunday

The Australian who has now recorded four consecutive wins had his work cut out for him in both motos on the heavy duty sand track of Gopher Dunes Although the Monster EnergyParts CanadaLeading Edge Kawasaki star took control of moto one by the halfway mark it took him until the three-quarter mark to take the lead of moto two

In the MX2 class RTR Performance Hondarsquos Topher Ingalls rose to the occasion to nail down his first win of the season The California native did it with style by nailing down the holeshot of both motos

The first moto saw an on-fire Ingalls lead wire to wire finishing with a huge gap on second place In moto two he settled for second after losing the lead to KTM-mounted Jesse

Wentland around the halfway mark

With a schedule break in the Lucas Oil AMA National Championship Wentland took the opportunity to journey up to Canada and compete as a guest rider The Minnesota native did more than raise a few eyebrows by snaring an impressive second overall on the strength of 3-1 motos

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Tyler Medaglia had a relatively good day at Gopher Dunes snaring both holeshots and claim-ing third overall on the strength of 2-5 motos Medagliarsquos results also moved him back into second place in the current points standings

Although Medaglia got super starts he was

unable to take the momentum all the way to the finish line He led the first moto until around the halfway mark which is when Met-calfe who started around third passed him Once at the head of the pack Metcalfe poured on the gas and Medaglia was never able to challenge him and reclaim the lead

In the second moto Medaglia lost the lead on the second lap to American guest rider Mike Sottile The Real Deal Honda rider then led the freight train until about the three quarter mark when Metcalfe who suffered a back of the pack start came calling and made a suc-cessful pass to take the win Sottile would lose three more positions before the checkered flag flew He ended the day with fifth overall on the strength of 6-4 motos

did not campaign the four western rounds of the Nationals made an impressive comeback by claiming second overall on the strength of 5-2 heats Keast was in good form all day battling for position like a man possessed and showing he will be a rider to contend with in the remaining rounds

Rockstar EnergyOTSFFYamaha Motovancomrsquos Bobby Kiniry had a tough day in the Gopher Dunes sand In the first moto he stalled his bike and had trouble restarting it By the time he did Kiniry found himself at the back of the pack Undaunted he put his head down and sliced and diced his way into a seventh place finish

In the second moto Kiniry got a top-10 start which he parlayed into a third place finish

The New York nativersquos efforts kept him in the mix taking fourth overall on the day and enough points to be tied with Tyler Medaglia for second place in the current points ranking

Metcalfersquos Leading Edge teammate Teddy Maier proved to be on top of his game in the first moto taking a third place finish at the checkered In the second moto he was taken out in turn one his bike was too damaged to continue the race and his day was unfortu-nately over

Red BullFoxRoyal DistributingKTMrsquos Dusty Klatt returning to action for the first time this year rode tentatively to claim ninth overall on the strength of 11-11 motos KTMrsquos Liam OrsquoFarrell who also missed the western rounds scored a noteworthy sixth overall on the strength of 9-6 motos

second moto saw him cross the finish line in 27th place He still took home an 11th overall on the day

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT UN GROS MERCI POUR VOTRE SUPPORT

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT UN GROS MERCI POUR VOTRE SUPPORT

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 43SOT - Long Walk to Sanity

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT UN GROS MERCI POUR VOTRE SUPPORT

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Szoke Claims His Fourth National Trials Championship

Brantford ON Canada - July 17th 2013

ldquoI want these three championships bad real badrdquo says current Canadian National Superbike Championship points leader and Kelso Conservation Area Mountain Bike Series points leader Jordan Szoke ldquoTo hold three championships in three different disciplines in one season would be unheard of but I intend to make it happenrdquo A bold statement but one holding weight as multi talented Jordan Szoke already holds 17 titles to his credit throughout his 15 year career

Szoke hung the first 1 plate of the season on the wall this afternoon after a few long

days delay in official results from the CMA Sanctioned National Observed Trials Championship The event was hosted in the picturesque county of Arden Ontario Canada over the July 13th - 14th weekend

ldquoI always love coming to Dave Southamrsquos propertyrdquo says Szoke ldquoWe had an extremely busy schedule but we were definitely going to make this one happen I wouldnrsquot have missed it for anything I absolutely love riding hererdquo

On day one Szoke had to settle for runner up to his fellow Trials des Nations and trials demonstrations teammate Dan Johnson A win on Sunday was the only option Szoke had if he wanted to repeat his National Trials Championship ldquoDan is riding so amazing this year he is really making it fun and challenging to compete togetherrdquo smiles Szoke ldquoWe have been elevating our game so much itrsquos going to be a barn burner when we get together to do our last Bulls and Bikes Demonstration this weekendrdquo

With Sundayrsquos sections modified the Arden spectators witnessed an amazing prequel to what the observers can expect to see in September when our Canadian Trial des Nations competitors Jordan Szoke Dan Johnson and Jonathan English invade France Big steps tricky steep and rocky climbs tested our three riders skills to the max as the teammates rode together as competitors here in Canada

Szoke rose to the occasion and ended up on the top of the box ldquoI rode really well todayrdquo

says an elated Szoke ldquoRegardless of how the results play out we all really had a great time here and pushed each other to ride better each and every looprdquo

With a win and a second for both Szoke and Johnson the 2013 CMA Rule Book had to be referenced to deliberate the tiebreaker Szoke takes home his fourth CMA National Trials Championship

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT UN GROS MERCI POUR VOTRE SUPPORT

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Page 35: The Busted Knuckle Chronicles  29th Edition 2013

With great power comes great responsibility The second part of that saying everyone leaves out is great cost Snow White is on the mend

During a poker run this spring her motor started sounding less then

healthy When she was finally able to get under the knife we found that the pistons float up to 38 on the wrist pins Not a good situation

I know many of you are saying serves me right for running an Ultima instead of a tried and true Harley but I still stand behind the motor even after this The truth is that Ultima sells thousands of these motors every year with only a handful of them failing Even Harley has their occasional dud even after 110 years of RampD

I have friends who dumped over $15G into a motor to make 20hp less them me another friend bumped his up to a Screaming Eagle Stage III only to have less power then before

Snow White turned out amazing horsepower and she will again but like super heroes it will cost me some money

We cannot find a direct cause other then extreme severe detonation Ultima is stumped as to the problem because they had never

encountered it before and neither has the several decades of experience Harley mechanics that are performing the surgery

It is a major rebuild major down time to the point that I dont think she will be back on the road this summer

With that Ive gone to the dark side Temporarily at least

Now that I can ride again I dont want to be left standing in the parking lot so I picked up a cheap 1984 Kawasaki KN750 LTD to boot around on for the summer until Snow White is back home

It is strange being on an 80s metric cruiser The seating seems wrong even though this is one of the more low slung models Fellow riders on metrics return my wave something

that was fading away riding my Harley and just a general indifference from people

On Snow White and my other Harleys people would either point and wave or scowl and run On the Kawi Im just another guy on a bike The Kawi will have to do for now When Im finished with her I might wash away the 20+ years of dirt and grime and sell her to the next lucky fellow and pay for the expensive repair bill for Snow White

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT UN GROS MERCI POUR VOTRE SUPPORT

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Newfie Airliner

An airliner is coming into land at an airport obscured by fog Visibility is practically nil the ILS system is on the blink so the newfie pilot has to land on wits alone

Flaps check he says to the co-pilot Landing Gear check Altitude check Right were going in Hold on

The plane lands and comes to a screeching grinding halt just short of the edge of the runway Holy Cow exclaims the pilot This must be the shortest runway Ive ever landed on

The newfie co-pilot looks left and right and says Yeah and about the widest too

Mrs Peterson phoned the repairman because her dishwasher quit working

He couldnt accommodate her with an after-hours appointment and since she had to go to work she told him Ill leave the key under the mat Fix the dish washer leave the bill on the counter and Ill mail you a check By the way I have a large rotweiler inside named Killer he wont bother you I also have a parrot and whatever you do do not talk to the bird

Well sure enough the dog Killer totally ignored the repairman but the whole time he was there the parrot cursed yelled screamed and about drove him nuts

Painful Breakup

A marine was deployed to Afghanistan While he was there he received a letter from his girlfriend In the letter she explained that she had slept with two guys while he had been gone and she wanted to break up with him and she wanted pictures of herself back

So the Marine did what any squared-away marine would do He went around to his buddies and collected all the unwanted photos of women that he could find He then mailed about 25 pictures of women (with clothes and without) to his girlfriend with the following note

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Reason In Memory of James White killed in August 8 1944 In France World War II

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

On Sunday July 14 the community of Port Hope hosted The Big Hearts Ride for Violet

This little sweetheart barely 2 months old now came into this world facing a mighty huge challenge The love of her parents during this most difficult period helped see her through her surgeries (Hats off to Toronto Sick Kids again as twenty odd years ago our son was on a Scheduled maintenance program)

This devotion placed some financial burdens on this young family and quickly the community responded

Tararsquos friend Nikki asked her Uncle Paul if his motorcycle friends could pitch in some way and within

days (18) this Ride happened

Word spread and other plans were shelved 94 bikes showed up and one cyclist who said doesnt matter what I ride I can still registerthe Community responds $4000 was raised alone at the ride personal cheques were

deposited in a trust account the Rotary Club amp Port Hope Police helped buy breathing equip and another Service Org bought a feeding pump Knights of Columbus were in there too manning the BBQ and of course the Winchester Arms for the gaggle up point

They came from Barrie Guelph and Trenton and of course from the local area Paul Chappellsquos ORRO Barry Smith and a slew of HD-ROC riders and Lou DeVuonos HHR riders the Red Knights and many others who enjoyed a beautiful day cruising around Rice

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT UN GROS MERCI POUR VOTRE SUPPORT

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

My Big Brother

It was sixty years ago this August dayMy memory clear in every wayI met his buddy a comrade known to meWhat he said was my catastrophe

Jim was dead with many of his friendsA torturing thought that never endsAs in all wars are great mistakesOur own allied planes their lives did take

On a hillside a short way from CaenI left with a comrade at the break of dawnAt the railroad station I climbed the twisted steelAnd before my eyes stood crosses white of sad appeal

Lying row on row in an open fieldWe walked the rows till his cross did yieldPreviously he had come to me asking that we together be

But I declined not wanting on him my responsibility

Fate at times had been presetTime may change not my regretEach day I see him in my mindWanting never to have left him there be-hind

I pray when I leave this vale of tearsBe gone will the regrets of these many yearsOnce again one time to anotherTogether Irsquoll be with my big brother

Reason In Memory of James White killed in August 8 1944 In France World War II

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

An airliner is coming into land at an airport obscured by fog Visibility is practically nil the ILS system is on the blink so the newfie pilot has to land on wits alone

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Houston we are T minus 9 and countingCommence pre flight checklist nowhellip Holy old what the fig happened to the last couple of months In two days I will have Seven and a wakey left and Thai and I step off on our Long Walk to Sanity I have to share a funny exchange I had recently told someone of my plan to walk 1100 kms over 50 days to raise the money to buy 50 more PTSD service dogs for disabled veterans ldquoAre you nutsrdquo ldquoActually the doctors try and use gentler phraseology but you are definitely in the right area coderdquo ldquoSeriouslyrdquo ldquoAs a friggin Heart attackrdquo ldquoIsnt that going to hurtrdquo ldquoHow bout them Blue jaysrdquo

I have to tell you though I am scared about the upcoming journey The fear does not come from the physical Challenge I have done over 2100 kilometers and 8700 flights of stairs and hills since the 21st of January

My physio and kinesio team (Thanks Kirsten Richard and Kayla) have done a great job helping my physical preparations Beyond the walking and stairs I have been doing training with a TRX suspension Trainer a TRX Rip Trainer and some other assorted bits to strengthen my Core and Upper Body

I went from crappy planks and one of the

ugliest single rep plank roll thrus to holding solid in all positions for a length of time and hitting 20 aside on the plank roll thrus I have been doing my own version of Ironman in training for this epic walk The days I really crank it out I walk from my house to Colby village Pushing Thai for a little over ten clicks

Hit the TRX RIP and Core Hard for a solid our moving from exercise to exercise nonstop return Home Pushing the same cart (Thai amp gear bout 100 lbs) then finish with another 50 flights of stairs bringing the day to look like 25 kms 100 flights and a core amp upper body workout that my kinesio scores a solid 8 out of ten for intensity My post motorcycle accident Right ankle will be the weak link But I am feeling physically very good

So where does the fear come from The fear is the stakes Yes the feel good side of the story is the service dog story The dark flip side of the coin is serious mental health issues suicide and homelessness Throw in the veteran adjective and it is a very unpalatable conversation

The problem is that failure to acknowledge and effectively intervene will result in more of what we currently have Jim Lowther from Veterans Emergency Transition services deals with the homelessness issue on a daily first hand basis The suicides are happening

The stakes in this are human lives veteran human lives that have paid the price for our freedoms Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean has been quoted as saying ldquoCanada was built of Freedoms not Freebiesrdquo I agree but might I suggest that he might want to come out on the road this summer and meet some of those who gave him his Those freedoms he so glibly flips of in political rhetoric were

bought and paid for with the blood of our fallen veterans paid for with the minds bodies and souls of its injured veterans

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

He wants to relish in the freedoms of being Canadian then he had best ensure that those that he is asking to provide them are given respect honour and if injured proper care Social contract becomes sacred covenant the moment on side pays in blood as is the case with our veterans since Canada became a nation up to including those who have fallen in the War in Afghanistan

I am not a Combat veteran My military career coincided with the end of the Cold War Had I seen shots fired in anger the face of the world today would most likely be radically different if it existed at all My injuries are Search and Rescue related FILOrsquos (First In Last outrsquos) Red White and Blue (Fire Paramedics Police RCMP) can and do sustain post traumatic stress disorder injuries

So in the handful of days left before the start of an epic journey that will make Canada a better place I have been asked Why I am doing it

This past June I stood at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa by the National War Memorial at the foot of a grave with his Silver Cross Mother and was struck with the very stark realization that the only way any of what lay before me made any sense is if the country he had died for was worth the sacrifice he had made

When his mother asked if I thought we could get help for some of his buddies who were struggling I was able to choke out one short sentence ldquoI sure hope sordquo

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT UN GROS MERCI POUR VOTRE SUPPORT

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT UN GROS MERCI POUR VOTRE SUPPORT

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

The sky is a leaden grey interspersed with bands of such a similar bluish grey that you have to look twice maybe three times to make sure you really Are seeing two different colorsIt is a heavy watercolor ceiling over us all amp it leaks

The trees stand lonely their leaves amp branches drooping in the rain their once greyish silver bark now dull brown amp muddy looking

The water droplets scatter in the chill wind amp the hollow notes of a distant windchime sounds melancholy with their individual tones

With startling suddenness the muted day is intensified by the glow of sunlight Not specific rays breaking through the overcast cloud-covered skies but simply light illuminating the surveyed landscape with what can only be called a gift neither golden nor yellow it is just brilliance

It makes one smile if only for a momentFaces turn towards the heaven as if in silent gratitude

The trees amp grasses are insanely green right now the raindrops glittering like millions of diamonds carelessly scattered without

thought amp the sparkle is picked up here amp there in the campground as chrome uncovered shines in its own fashion on the many bikes caught unaware by the storm

Just as quickly it seems amp far far too soon the sun is overpowered by the inclement weather amp graciously allows the light to dim once more amp as a few more raindrops gather force amp begin to fall again there is a bit of hope that this dampness is soon to be done that the sun is still there just biding its time because it really isnt as dreary as it was a few minutes ago is it

Its rather comforting like a hug from an old friendwell-worn boots or a full tank amp no deadline

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

Please tell ldquoMotormanrdquo Belt Drive Betty sent you to receive

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Avoid Turning Wide from a Stop

How to avoid turning wide from a stop

A few days ago I was out riding and enjoying what I consider the start of Floridarsquos best riding season I was heading to a local biker hangout and found myself behind a couple of other riders a man on a Harley Ultra and a woman on a Sportster It looked like they were headed to the same restaurant

Just prior to getting to this location there are three stop signs about one block apart At the last stop sign you have to make a 90 degree right turn and then a quick left into the restaurantsrsquo parking lot

As I approached the first stop sign the guy on the Ultra in front of me made a full stop in the left side of his lane and was looking left and right waiting for traffic to clear

The woman on the Sporty came to a shaky stop about 10 feet behind the guy in the right side of the lane She never looked left or right instead she looked only at the guy in front of her

He pulled out when traffic cleared and she followed I could hear her over-revving the motor as she slipped the clutch while trying to

start off smoothly She was duck-walking the bike as she tried to get going and still looking dead ahead

It took her so long to get through the intersection that a car on the cross street who didnrsquot have a stop sign had to jam on the brakes to avoid hitting her At the next stop sign it was the same story except luckily there was no cross traffic

As they approached the third stop sign where you have to make a 90 degree right and then turn left about 50 feet into the parking lot I thought to myself this ainrsquot gonna be pretty The guy made the right and quick left and pulled into a parking spot

The woman though stopped again in the extreme right part of her lane This time she looked left and saw no cars coming so she decided to make the right at the stop sign Instead of looking to the right where she wanted to go she looked directly at a car that was coming in the opposite lane

Sure enough she started heading right towards that car Just as she was about to cross the center line and collide with the car she snatched the front brake Since her handlebars were pointed slightly to the right she went down hard and fast The car

swerved a bit and went on its way I quickly jumped off my bike and helped her pick up hers

She wasnrsquot hurt but was obviously very

embarrassed since several people in the parking lot also observed the incident She thanked me got back on the bike and duck-walked it across the road and into the parking lot The guy with her was standing there shaking his head

I then pulled in next to the two of them I was trying to think of a tactful way to give her a few helpful tips so I started with ldquojust started riding have yardquo From the look she gave me I could see my question wasnrsquot near as tactful as it sounded before my lips started moving

ldquoFor your information Irsquove been riding for 10 yearsrdquo she snapped back As I began taking my helmet off and trying to figure out how to get my foot out of my mouth her angry look turned to a surprised smile She said ldquoHey yoursquore that guy from SPEEDTVrdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

I nodded and was about to introduce myself when she turned to the guy with her and said ldquoWhatrsquos his name we watch him all the timerdquo The guy blurted out ldquoMotormanrdquo She

then looked at the decal on my tank and said ldquoYoursquore the Ride Like a Pro guyrdquo Now Irsquom really embarrassed she said and then added ldquoIrsquom really a good rider out on the road itrsquos just the slow stuff that gets me every timerdquo With the ice broken I was now able to explain to her how she could prevent the situation from happening again

Since Irsquove seen many riders both ldquoexperiencedrdquo and ldquoinexperiencedrdquo with similar problems when turning from a stop herersquos the easy way to do it

First if yoursquore going to turn right at a stop sign stop in the extreme left portion of your lane at an angle facing towards the right This accomplishes two things Yoursquore already facing in the direction you want to go and since yoursquore in the left side of your lane yoursquove got 12 feet or more to go straight before you have to turn your handlebars

The more time you have to turn your bars the easier it is Next once yoursquove made sure no

traffic is coming from the left turn your head and eyes to the right and look way ahead at the lane you want to pull into NEVER look at the yellow line or oncoming traffic Stay in the friction zone until the bike is going straight ahead down your lane

You can practice this on a deserted road or even better in an empty parking lot With a little practice using the clutch and throttle and a little pressure on the rear brake you should start challenging yourself By that I mean start making the turn sharper and sharper

Eliminate the start off angle With enough practice you should be able to make a sharp right hand turn starting off with the handlebars at full lock right from a dead stop When you can do that yoursquoll never have to worry about turning too wide

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

POPE BLESSES HARLEY RIDERS

HOG Heaven as the 110th Anniversary Party Begins

Biker culture came to the Vatican on Sunday June 16th 2013 as Pope Francis blessed thousands of Harley-Davidsons and their riders celebrating the manufacturerrsquos 110th anniversary with a loud parade and plenty of leather Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the ldquoOur Fatherrdquo prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass Standing in his open-top jeep Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St Peterrsquos Square blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot

Once the service got under way bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests sat in the square alongside nuns and tens of thousands of faithful Catholics taking part in an unrelated two-day pro-life rally Francis addressed them both afterward giving a blessing to the ldquonumerous participantsrdquo of the Harley gathering Tens of thousands of Harley owners from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of the American manufacturer

The main events were Sundayrsquos Vatican blessing and a parade Saturday past the Coliseum and other historic landmarksmdashItalian daily Corriere Della Sera reported that six bikes were involved in a pileup Saturday on the main ring road around the capital while a Swiss biking couple was killed in a highway crash on Wednesday

Earlier in the week Milwaukee Wisconsin-based Harley gave Francis two white classic Harleys for the Vatican police force to use There was something a bit incongruous about the Harley crowdmdashknown for its ldquoFreedomrdquo motto outlaw image and adventuresome spiritmdashtaking part in a solemn papal Mass to commemorate a 1995 encyclical on the inviolability of human life

ldquoEvangelium Vitaerdquo is a roadmap of the churchrsquos teaching against abortion euthanasia and murder Harleyrsquos advertising for its 2013 bike collection reads ldquoLive life on your own terms More than 30 ways to defy the status quo The Rev Federico Lombardi the Vatican spokesman noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless anyone is welcome to a papal Mass The Pope then spent a good half-hour after the Mass caressing kissing and chatting with a few dozen sick or disabled people in the square including one on a motorcycle wearing Harley garb

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

On Saturday June 8th a Banff motorcyclist was pursued by a lsquomassiversquo grey wolf along a stretch of BC highway and to prove his story manages to take several pictures of the wolf chasing him

Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting On a stretch of British Columbiarsquos Highway 93 a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away

The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the road-houses of Western Canada if Mr Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world National Postrsquos Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning

How did this happenI was about 320 [kilometers] into a 400 k trip

hellip and was doing about 90kmh in the right hand lane going north and [the wolf] came from the left hand side of the road It dartedout crossed the other lane and I had to swerve and accelerate to get around it I went forward about 100 meters and when I turned around it was just standing in the middle of

the lane watching me

How close did it get to youIt was coming at me It probably got to within a couple meters easy maybe a meter If Irsquod have slowed down I would have definitely hit it so I just opened it up got a bit of powerand got around it Irsquove had dogs run out at me on bikes before and you sort of get a feel for the distance the speed yoursquore going but it was pretty tight

But after yoursquod gotten some distance between you thatrsquos when you pulled around for a closer lookI stopped the bike pulled my gloves off took my camera out did a u-turn and came back and thatrsquos when I managed to get the pictures When [the wolf] heard me coming it jumped back over a [roadside] barrier and it started running I sped up a little bit it got in nice and close and I was driving with my right hand and clicking pictures with my left When I first came back around it came in really close probably a bit too close It would have been a real bad time to run out of gasEven over the motor I could hear it I could hear its feet on the road

Do you think this wolf was playing with you or were you being huntedTo me it was more exciting than scary Irsquoll put it to you that way In my gut I didnrsquot feel

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

threatened at all I would have felt threatened if I was walking or on a bicycle but I knew I could outrun it It also didnrsquot have a real aggressive feel I donrsquot think it was after me it was probably after the bike Thatrsquos just the way I felt I could have been wrong Irsquom no wolf expert

The chase kept up for about a kilometre How did it endAs you can see in one of the last photos a few cars had started coming and going so I thought I better not be here so I accelerated away I didnrsquot want it jumping out into the path of an oncoming car The last I saw it was running into the trees

Deep Lube 2 It Will Loosen Your Nuts

Reviewed by Ken Aiken

Itrsquos easy to excited by this productmdashif yoursquore a mechanic Compared to the familiar product in the blue can Deep Lube 2 has better penetration and greater lubrication properties

Furthermore it contains no Teflon silicon graphite fluorocarbons or turpentine which makes it suitable for applications above and beyond motorcycle maintenance

The base compound is 40 Venezuelan ldquobright stockrdquo oil the same as used in the finest watch lubricants Its small molecular size enables this oil to penetrate extremely tight spaces and allows better adherence to metal Another 40 is kerosene that has

been filtered to remove gums resins waxes and other impurities

The kerosene is also processed to remove its distinctive ndashand annoyingmdashodor A small amount (1) of molybdenum disulphite (ldquomolyrdquo) is added to the solution This super lubricant adheres to unpainted metal but not to itselfmdashno sticky buildup is possiblemdashand while it can be worn away it canrsquot be washed off

Another component is the propellant (for the aerosol cans but not the gallon containers) a propanebutane combination that doesnrsquot harm the environment like fluorocarbons

A touch of citrus scent is added just in case you want to use this on squeaky bedroom doors or other interior household and commercial applications

Deep Lube 2 withstands temperatures from -50˚F ndash 1000˚F which means itrsquos not going to burn off at normal engine operating temperatures or freeze up during the winter

Itrsquos also electronically non-conductive so it can be used on wiring to drive out moisture or help prevent connecting plugs from accumulating water and corroding I also discovered that it is superior to degreasers that I normally use to clean my wheel rims

The retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold of my bike were in place for 22 years Several applications of Deep Lube 2 loosened these nuts to a point where removal was easy using a regular open box wrench No torque

was required and I never got to use the nut splitters purchased for this job

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles July 25 2013 Page 60Product Review amp ON Events

Continued on next Page

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Garage mechanics that have switched to Deep Lube 2 report that they are using less for the same applications which translates to a substantial savings in costs Itrsquos also being commercially used on heavy hydraulic equipment and delicate sewing machine parts snowmobilers use it to prevent their control cables from freezing up

Since moly retains its lubrication properties up to 4370˚F while withstanding pressures of 200000 psi it seems logical that Deep Lube 2 might be an alternative to chain lube However Irsquoll have a better idea after 6000 miles of chain and sprocket wear are measured

Newfie Airliner

An airliner is coming into land at an airport obscured by fog Visibility is practically nil the ILS system is on the blink so the newfie pilot has to land on wits alone

Flaps check he says to the co-pilot Landing Gear check Altitude check Right were going in Hold on

The plane lands and comes to a screeching grinding halt just short of the edge of the runway Holy Cow exclaims the pilot This must be the shortest runway Ive ever landed on

The newfie co-pilot looks left and right and says Yeah and about the widest too

Repairman

Mrs Peterson phoned the repairman because her dishwasher quit working

He couldnt accommodate her with an after-hours appointment and since she had to go to work she told him Ill leave the key under the mat Fix the dish washer leave the bill on the counter and Ill mail you a check By the way I have a large rotweiler inside named Killer he wont bother you I also have a parrot and whatever you do do not talk to the bird

Well sure enough the dog Killer totally ignored the repairman but the whole time he was there the parrot cursed yelled screamed and about drove him nuts

As he was ready to leave he couldnt resist saying You stupid bird why dont you shut up

Painful Breakup

A marine was deployed to Afghanistan While he was there he received a letter from his girlfriend In the letter she explained that she had slept with two guys while he had been gone and she wanted to break up with him and she wanted pictures of herself back

So the Marine did what any squared-away marine would do He went around to his buddies and collected all the unwanted photos of women that he could find He then mailed about 25 pictures of women (with clothes and without) to his girlfriend with the following note

I dont remember which one you are Please remove your pictures and send the rest back

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo

Three ThingsAt my oldest daughterrsquos wedding a few years ago I was asked to do the ldquoFather of the Briderdquo speech and in my little talk I had referred to a lsquojust releasedrsquo survey that had appeared in local media that

seemed to be a good bit of advice for this bright-eyed love-struck couple as they were about to take on the world

The group who initiated the survey asked a significantly large number of men and women who were in the demographic of 90 years of age or older one question

The question was asked and the most popular three answers were published The question was ldquoIf you could live your life over again what one thing would you do differentlyrdquo

You may be surprised at the answers but they do provide us younger folks with some good insights into what some lsquovoices of experiencersquo had to offer

Here are the three most popular answers

1) They would have told the people they valued and loved that they loved them more often

2) They would have taken more risks in life (They often lsquoplayed it safersquo decided against following their dreams be it to travel the world take up a sport or interest that was not thought to be entirely safe or have done something else they always wanted to but just never followed through on)

3) Their biggest regret it seemed was that they lacked a feeling of significance

It seemed to most people surveyed they would not leave behind them anything of significance They regretted not having done more for other people Or a cause It was shortly after I gave this little speech at my daughterrsquos wedding that my wife of 30+ years decided to get on the back of my Harley for the first time Yeehaw It worked lol

Since I gave that speech I have often thought back on those ldquoThree Thingsrdquo and I have tried to incorporate them into my life In fact as I first stepped into biker ministry many years ago I had hoped that my life would make a positive impact in other peoplersquos lives and I have truly been blessed ldquoout of my socksrdquo

The risk thing is not something Irsquove ever had issue with so am still doing the ldquostuffrdquo that others my age might shake their head at

And the other ldquothingrdquo I have under control I tell my wife three kids and six grand kids pretty much every day how much they mean to me and you know what It feels great and

it comes back in spades

My ldquohappy placerdquo is on my bike on an open road and that is where I collect my thoughts and often think over these ldquoThree Thingsrdquo

Just making sure that I have balance in my life And then for me there is a 4th thing that cements it all together that is my personal faith in Jesus Christ

That is what makes my life worth living and gives me purpose significance and the fuel to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives I guess you could say that is my legacy

Which begs the question ldquoWhat legacy are you leaving behind when you leave this liferdquo
