Hi Doc Hemp and Becky,
You have a very entertaining web site. I was looking for information on
the H.O.G. rally taking place somewhere in California this coming
weekend (October 15 - 17) and fell into your web site. I find my Harley
to be the best and cheapest therapy available. I enjoyed reading your
"Why Doc and Becky Ride Harley Davidsons?" very much. I found it to be
a rather emotional writing. On July 23 my dream of a lifetime came
true. After riding many different non-Harleys for many many years I now
have a Heritage Softail Classic. Yes, I too can sit and look at it,
listen to it, get off of it after a long ride and wonder "isn't there
somewhere else to go?" Before I overstay my welcome I will end with,
yes, Harley Davidson is the ultimate. I did enclose a couple of photos.
Thanks from Garland, Texas

Hey guys, I know Mike has written to you since we've been back but tonight
has been the first I've had a chance to get into your journal and check my
mail. (Welcome back to reality) Love the Hoover picture..especially since
mine are blank :( Enjoyed very much reliving the trip on your pages. Keep
up the great work..I'm sure it's enjoyed by all who read it. Wanted to write
you also because I thought you might get a kick out of what we are doing
tonight. We purchased some t-shirts on the tour for some friends of ours and
we are delivering them tonight at midnight on the bike(by then it should be
in the mid 20's here BRRRR...colder than Mammoth:0 We have the nickname of
midnight riders by our friends as we do this once in a while. The kicker
is...we play ding dong ditch with them. Mike drops me off a block down the
road from them, I drop the package, ring the doorbell and run for the bike as
Mike revs the bike to wake the neighborhood and then we're gone. I also
wrote a poem to go with the shirts. Thought you might like that
also....remember how lucky you are to be able to ride all year!!!( We
actually got snow already last night YUK) Anyways...here is the poem
The riding season is fast coming to an end
For the open road memories, I thank you my friend.
The time will soon come when we put the bikes away
and be faced with the cold and shortness of day
With snow on the ground we'll be stuck inside
But we'll sit on our bikes, in our mind we will ride
We'll polish the chrome till it shines in the dark
and the thought of the open road will make our eyes spark
The memory of Harley thunder will be in our ear
and all that we'll wish for is spring to appear
There's only one thing that will help this depression,
and give us a fix on our Harley obsession.
Dial 1-800-CLUBHOG, but please don't wait
Call November first, in the morning at eight.
Sign up for the posse ride, coast to coast
Ride with the Daltons and HOG as your host
The anticipation of the trip will get you through
The "Can't ride the Harley" winter-time blues
Well...I sure aint no poet but maybe it will get some more people from our
chapter to next years rallys. Hope you have a good time with your friends
this week.We'll be thinking of you still riding in warm weather. Take care
and keep your knees in the breeze!

Doc, I saw your page and you did a fantastic job of describing your trip to Boulder City. I have to concur with your judgment of the Las Vegas dealership except that the people were basically friendly. When I checked my purchases back at the motel, however, I found that I had been sold the wrong sunglasses AND they failed to give me the promised 10% discount! I was pissed but of course could not go back the next day as we were headed for Mammoth Lakes. When I was in their old store, last year, I liked them a lot but I guess something changed when they moved. Oh well...

Hi Dave and Becky,
Excellent site, just heaps to look and read, photo's are great quality. I will stick it on my Favourites so I can check it all
out later. I'm living in South Australia, about 260km from the Capital called Adelaide. I'm the 46 year old dreamer,
with a lovely wife (Vicki) and 2 teenage daughters. I would love to get a Harley someday. I was amused at the
surprise Fat Boy story, the lady Vicky who bought her husband a FatBoy. Lucky bloke.
Harleys are very popular in this part of the world, but are also expensive. 99 Softail, is about $24,000 over here. The
town near where I live population 15000, there would be about 30 Harleys. The State HOG chapter had a meet here
2 years ago. The Harley shop in Adelaide are having an open ride day on the 25th Sept, and I will book in for a ride.
Regards Mark Pearce
PS. A FatBoy is probably my favourite

Hi from Paul and Sandy Shaver .....
Sorry we missed you in Redding. Yes we did enjoy the dam and beautiful
country...in spite of the rain! We took our dusters just in case and they
came in very handy. We left Redding Sunday am and decided to come home via
the beautiful Feather River Canyon. From there we took another detour and
ended up in South Lake Tahoe (..poured rain from Truckee to South Shore).
The other couple we were with own a cabin there so we decided to stay the
night. A little casino time, a good nights sleep and we were on our way
home the next morning. Nice weekend.
I have found some of the similarities between us amusing. When we read your
web pages we laughed out loud at the comments regarding getting a HD during
the 'middle aged years'... Paul has wanted a Harley since he was a kid. He
had access to a bike in Viet Nam and wanted one of his own. However, then
came 'me'...years of college....3 beautiful daughters...and way too many
horses, many years of rodeo and working to support ...rodeo. My goal was to
buy Paul his first HD when I graduated from college as a way to thank him
for all of his help getting me through...of course that never happened. In
l996 we took a road trip to see family from Seattle (his family) to
Oklahoma (my family). We ended up in So Dakota during bike week. I was
blown away at how much fun everyone looked like they were having. I don't
think I knew bikes were for couples too! A few months later Paul brought in
a picture of THE BIKE of his dreams. The l997 Heritage Springer, white with
red trim...just like yours. I decided it was time!! I went to the local HD
shop and told them I wanted to buy a bike for my husband's birthday (2 mos).
They all laughed....(gosh who new there was a 8-12 month waiting
period...and of course 'his' bike was already sold out). After they
realized I wasn't kidding they set out to help me make my surprise a
success...I think they enjoyed it as much as I did. As luck would have it
(meant to be???) I rec'd a call a couple weeks before his B-day and someone
had cancelled their order...it was "his" bike!! Needless to say the big day
at the HD shop was a tear jerker for all. The bike was delivered on May 31,
l997 (approx. 20,000 miles ago!) Our very first run was the Redwood run.
Last year we "rode" to Sturgis, this year to Seattle and Victoria, next year
back to Sturgis. Thirty years of marriage and every trip is like a
honeymoon!!
Another similarity, Paul enjoyed the web pages of the train collectors and
loves the old steam locomotives...he is a Trainmaster for Santa Fe RR (27
yrs). I was the finance director at a local hospital for 18 years, last
year I retired (the week before Sturgis) and am now a Healthcare
Reimbursement and Compliance Consultant.
Well I guess this is long enough. Hopefully we'll see you down the road
(Redwood Run?). If your ever in our neck of the woods please stop by. We're
just minutes from the gold country and some beautiful riding areas. We
live on 12 acres, lots of room to park bikes, pitch tents or crash in our
guest room. Also, if you ever get by Lodi...just a few miles from
here..our friends that we ride with own a very nice night club there called
Legends....stop by and have a drink.
See ya!
Sandy

Good Morning! Wow you were up early (or stayed up late?). Paul was just

your system was down). Paul is a Trainmaster for Burlington Northern Santa
Fe (27 years). He's off Sun;Mon;Tues each week. What day do you think
you'll be through this way? We live approx. 45 minutes from Sacramento
toward the foothills (Ione/Jackson area). Herald is a little spot in the
road...mostly grapes and horse country..we have the latter. If you are
traveling down I-5 you'll go right by 'old' Sacramento which is a great
stopping point for lunch or dinner. We would love to meet you
there...or..if you need a place to crash you are welcome to stay here. We
live about 10 miles off hiway 99. (Could cross over from I-5 to Hiway 99 -
approx 5 to10 miles?

Well it's cold enough down here to freeze the balls off a brass monkey,
but we can take it like a man.(opps sorry Becky, like a woman too)
Hey much has happened since the last up date. No Sally has not proposed
to me and I have to keep reminding her that even after 11 plus years she
is still on probation.
(God I hope and pray that she at least gets a pay rise soon) Cupboards a
bit skinny at the moment due to the new commitments on a new 1450 RK
(Wink wink nod nod).
Anyway the latest on our proposed visit to Sturgis next year is that at
the current time I have 16 bikes booked already and I need just a
further 5 to close a 40 ft container load.
This has so far has been achieved only by word of mouth. I don't
anticipate any difficulties to get the last ones in. I plan to arrive LA
on or about the 18 or 19th July 2000 (approximatly 355 sleeps) and
unpack the next day and possibily departing for San Fran on the Friday
or Sat. I will arrange most of the guys and dolls accommodation up to
Sturgis (about 33 people all up) in Best Western Hotels like we did last
time.
However 6 of us (my daughter and her husband Chris, Gavin and Su, and
Sally an myself want to break away from the main group from time to time
and do our own thing. We would love to include a visit to your place
about the 24th July give or take a day or two and also catch up with
Harry if possible. These details will have to be confirmed later during
the year however.
This is my largest consignment to date and it is a practice run for the
main event, the 100th in 2003.
Now I want to toss a new idea at you at this very early stage.
Is it possible that you may know someone in the HOG group who perhaps
lives in San Fran who would be prepared to give up there time on the day
after we all arrive in San Fran and say between them, and I arrange a
tour of the main spots of interest.
What would be so neat is to have a guide that we could follow on our
bikes where we didn't have to worry about navigation. We could perhaps
include a lunch stop at a vineyard in that tour perhaps and endevour to
change the local folks accents at the same time. Now this is just an
idea at this stage and I will not be stressed out if it doesn't happen.
The other thing is I still need to get an indication from our lot as to
how many would be interested in doing this type of a tour. Last time I
wrote to many HOG Chapters in LA, San Fran, and Denver advising them of
our arrival and not one Chapter returned our letters. But no matter, we
had a good time anyway.
Give me your thoughts on the above.
By the way Dave, I picked up a brand new rear axle for the Stude from a
guy in MO who advertised in Hemmings. Paid $US100 plus $US31 for postage
. It was a bargain.
I had a local engineer here in NZ quote me $US1000 to make a copy. Yes a
$US1000
bucks.
Hey I better get out of here.
see you both later on.

Hi Doc !
I'm Mike, from the town of Priluki, Ukraine.
I've just made up my mind to drop some lines to you.
I've found your address at http:// www.dochemp.com/5spring.htm.
The fact is that I and my friend Vlad are interested in ancient
motorbikes.
We seek for old motorcycles (prewar, war, and postwar times), which are
kept safe in our area (Chernigov region) and in the Ukraine, repair them
and sell
to those who collect old motorcycles.
There're many old models in the Ukraine in small villages, towns, and
some people, who participated in war, have old bikes.
Well, it is possible to sell antique models to rather rich people,
naturally.
I've decided to address to you, as I have understood, that perhaps
you can help us to find people of this sort, who are interested in
purchasing
old motorcycles. Of course if u find it necessary.
We already have sold two motorcycles to Holland and Austria to such rich
fans
of ancient motorcycles.
In this country we have not so many rich people who buy ancient
motorcycles,
and almost no clubs of the fans of ancient technics.
That's why I'd like to ask you for your help.
Do you mind helping us in this question ?
I guess, if you move in motorfans circles - fans of ancient engineering,
it would be easier for you to help us to find the people of this kind or
to advise such people to me, which are interested in purchasing of old
models.
If it is necessary, I'll send you some photos of models, which we had
made and sold
before.
I'm so grateful to you beforehand.
Waiting for your soon reply.
Yours faithfully,
Mike Baranov.

Hi Dave and Becky,
Great Website! I listened to your music all the time I was writing this e-mail to you.
Our names are Pete and Rhoda and we're Harley bikers from Hainesville, NJ.
We are also going to HOG's "Big Damn Tour" this September - looking forward to seeing you both out there - it should be a great riding
experience!
We've always met great friends at the HOG tours - we've done the "Country Cruisin Tour" in '95 and the "Blues Cruise" last year. We met John and
Charmaine (bowden@winshop.com.au) from Queensland, Australia during the "Country Cruisin Tour" and became such good friends that we went
to Australia, I rode his Dynaglide while there, and they visited us and John rode my ElectraGlide while here and we all toured through the New
England states.
We'll also be going to Sturgis this summer and be camping at the Hog Heaven campgrounds in Sturgis with some of our friends from the North
Jersey Riders Motorcycle Club (Herb and Angelique) and biker friends from Iowa (Gary and Bev) and Florida (Pete and Norma). Hope we can
hook up with you guys out there also - if you're going to Sturgis.
We belong to the North Jersey Riders Motorcycle Club. It's a great biker friendly riding club with about 60 members - mostly couples with
Harleys.
Check out my North Jersey Riders Motorcycle Club Website, it' not as sophisticated as your website but I've added some photos of some of our
recent trips and rides. I'd love to add some neat stuff like you have on your website, but I'm just starting out and learning this internet stuff. I'm using
Netscape's Site Central free website page, but it doesn't seem to allow me much customization. I would love to be able to add a thumbnail photo
album so my pictures don't take up so much room. I would appreciate any pointers you could offer on how to do it.
You can reach our North Jersey Riders Motorcycle Club Website at:
http://sites.netscape.net/njrmc/njrmcwebsite
Check it out and enter your names and comments in the Website guest book.
You can reach me and Rhoda at our North Jersey Riders Motorcycle Club e-mail address at:

Or at my other e-mail address:
ptomory@juno.com
Send your e-mails to both addresses - this way I won't miss them if the internet is down. I can get attachments at both addresses.
You can also write to our friends (they'll all be at Sturgis) at the following e-mail addresses:
Herb & Angelique hava@warwick.net
Pete & Norma veldhuis@bestnetpc.com
Gary & Bev harley@crosspaths.net
Tony suozzo1@juno.com
I'll recommend your Website at http://www.dochemp.com to all my biker friends

thought I'd check and see how the wild and wooly world of dentistry/orthodental/peridontal/maxio-fellatial surgery is
going.
I sunk about $3000 into that 74 Sporty and finally got it running. Talk about a balls to the
wall-kick-start-your-heart-hard-mounted-drag-pipe Harley experience! I had a lot of fun riding that beast. In the end
the maintenance was more than I bargained for. I sold it and am buying a 99 FXD.
Well that's it for Korea (The Land Of The Not Quite Right).
Take care, Ride Safe

Hey Beckster&Hempster!
After one car-driving week in Catalunya/Spain and another week renovating the office (in superb weather - sweat, sweat!) I got on my bike and rode to
Leopoldsburg in Belgium, the largest Harley-event in our region (6000bikes!). Dancing and drinking and having a good time until 3 p.m., I fell asleep in my
tent just to be waked up at 6 by the first Harleys leaving the place! Had a pretty good hangover yesterday, hee-hee!
Old friend Wilfried (the engineer who works in a powerplant I told you about) called this morning and said he would accompany me to the States in
october. ... this fits perfectly for me. We got Bikes in San Francisco from October 2nd until 13th
and if you don´t mind I will show him where the Greatest Dentist On Earth lives, hee-hee!!!
(Maybe we´ll stay in S.F. for one or two days, move up north via the coast or the Gold Country, then take the Redding exit and spend a weekend riding
together with His Majesty the Hempster, Beckster, Bev and Crusty? Or we all meet in S.F. and do the 49 miles drive? Becky would love to do it, I know,
hee-hee!!!)
So what about your computer? Everything o.k.again? And the railroad? And the kids? And the office? Hope everything is going well!
Back to work tomorrow!

Hi from Paul and Sandy Shaver .....
Sorry we missed you in Redding. Yes we did enjoy the dam and beautiful
country...in spite of the rain! We took our dusters just in case and they
came in very handy. We left Redding Sunday am and decided to come home via
the beautiful Feather River Canyon. From there we took another detour and
ended up in South Lake Tahoe (..poured rain from Truckee to South Shore).
The other couple we were with own a cabin there so we decided to stay the
night. A little casino time, a good nights sleep and we were on our way
home the next morning. Nice weekend.
I have found some of the similarities between us amusing. When we read your
web pages we laughed out loud at the comments regarding getting a HD during
the 'middle aged years'... Paul has wanted a Harley since he was a kid. He
had access to a bike in Viet Nam and wanted one of his own. However, then
came 'me'...years of college....3 beautiful daughters...and way too many
horses, many years of rodeo and working to support ...rodeo. My goal was to
buy Paul his first HD when I graduated from college as a way to thank him
for all of his help getting me through...of course that never happened. In
l996 we took a road trip to see family from Seattle (his family) to
Oklahoma (my family). We ended up in So Dakota during bike week. I was
blown away at how much fun everyone looked like they were having. I don't
think I knew bikes were for couples too! A few months later Paul brought in
a picture of THE BIKE of his dreams. The l997 Heritage Springer, white with
red trim...just like yours. I decided it was time!! I went to the local HD
shop and told them I wanted to buy a bike for my husband's birthday (2 mos).
They all laughed....(gosh who new there was a 8-12 month waiting
period...and of course 'his' bike was already sold out). After they
realized I wasn't kidding they set out to help me make my surprise a
success...I think they enjoyed it as much as I did. As luck would have it
(meant to be???) I rec'd a call a couple weeks before his B-day and someone
had cancelled their order...it was "his" bike!! Needless to say the big day
at the HD shop was a tear jerker for all. The bike was delivered on May 31,
l997 (approx. 20,000 miles ago!) Our very first run was the Redwood run.
Last year we "rode" to Sturgis, this year to Seattle and Victoria, next year
back to Sturgis. Thirty years of marriage and every trip is like a
honeymoon!!
Another similarity, Paul enjoyed the web pages of the train collectors and
loves the old steam locomotives...he is a Trainmaster for Santa Fe RR (27
yrs). I was the finance director at a local hospital for 18 years, last
year I retired (the week before Sturgis) and am now a Healthcare
Reimbursement and Compliance Consultant.
Well I guess this is long enough. Hopefully we'll see you down the road
(Redwood Run?). If your ever in our neck of the woods please stop by. We're
just minutes from the gold country and some beautiful riding areas. We
live on 12 acres, lots of room to park bikes, pitch tents or crash in our
guest room. Also, if you ever get by Lodi...just a few miles from
here..our friends that we ride with own a very nice night club there called
Legends....stop by and have a drink.
See ya!

If anyone is interested I can mail the material to you to copy or post on your website( I would do it except I ain't that proficient with this here electrical tube of

Dear Beckster&Hempster,
just came back from our charity run we organized together with the local hardcore M.C. - hey, we raised more than 28000bucks for an orphanage in
Düsseldorf!!! (Check out the Cactus homepage for pictures, Wolf should have them there this evening)
Everything went well, about 1000 bikers were there... at 4.pm. we took all the money and brought it to the orphanage. There, we gave the children rides on
our back seats for 1 1/2 hours. You should have seen the childrens eyes!!! When riding back to the Schadow-Arkaden (the local shopping mall where
everything took place ) one of us put up a bet who would dare to ride right into the
mall, do a circle, get a beer and ride back out of there. Guess who did!!! (not the hardcores, hee-hee!!!) Had to get out of there pretty fast, though...
security was right behind me, hee-hee!!!
Weather was great (hey, what´s going on here?!?), although we did have some thunderstorms in the evening.
Best wishes from Germany

Dave and Becky; and anyone else reading B.A.D. Chariots disertations...............
For 28 years I tried to get my wife on a scooter (any scooter); tried to "explain" the feeling, and all to no avail.
Gave up, reconciled myself to the 4 legged horsepower and went about continuing to build stalls, corrals and
more fencing. I didn't mind the work, it's just the iron horse would require less work.......
Anyway, we just stumbled upon this web page, rolled thru some literary gems, laughed alot and decided to
scribble a few words. Unfortunately this keyboard will not allow me to scribble.
Your mention of a 5k mile journey coming to an end was exactly what my wife and I felt when we returned from
Sturgis last year. It took both of us to lean the bike south toward Sacramento..........Alas; woe is us. etc......
So how'd we go from the hay burner to the petrol burner???? Long story.
Anyway, the reason for this note is some information. We and a couple of friends have charted a course up 101
thru Cal, Ore, Wash to Victoria, B.C. and my wife was checking the tube for road info and some points of interest.
Hence we stumbled upon your "B.A.D." stuff, enjoyed your humor and I just had to say hello......
We will be at the Cal State Rally this weekend and will try to meet ya's.....If you're there abouts....
Safe riding,

my wife (live4jeepn@aol.com) and i are registered for the big dam tour.
i think she mailed ya a week ago, we are really eager to see the beautiful
scenery from a Harley vantage point, and also meet you!!
However, we might not be able to make it :(
i have checked on renting a bike for the trip through HOG travel, and there
are no bikes available during that week. we checked Vegas,Reno,Frisco, San
Bernadino......no luck.....
i don't think i want to attempt the trip on my little Sportster, looking for
more of a tour ride.
anyway, i was wondering if you know any places that rent Harley's in southern
California???? like i said, all the places through HOG are booked, so it
would have to be someplace else????
well, bye for now.......i hope you have a suggestion or 2.....
if ya know of a place, drop me a line and i will call immediately.......my

Father, Your own Son was a prisoner. Condemned, he died for us.
Victorious, He returned to bring us the gift of life everlasting. Comfort us
now in our longing for the return of the Prisoners Of War and those Missing
In Action. Help Us Father; Inspire us to remove the obstacles. Give courage
to those who know the truth to speak out. Grant wisdom to the negotiators,
and compassion to the jailors. Inspire the media to speak out as loudly as
they have in the past. Protect those who seek in secret and help them to
succeed. Show us the tools to do Your will. Guard and bless those in
captivity, their families, and those who work for their release. Let them
come home soon.
Thank you Father.
Amen.

Hey, Doc!
Really enjoyed your site. Especially the Boozefighter stuff. I recall their
hangout in L.A., the All American cafe, a little hole -in-the wall place on
Firestone. My uncle was Johnny Davis, a charter member.My buddy and I hung out
with them once in a while on the week-ends. A great bunch of guys (and gals,
the Boozettes)!
They had an old Lexington stretch sedan with a magnesium body.They used to
cruise in it, carrying a very large wash tub full of ice and beer in the rear
seat area. I heard later that someone had, unknowingly, left a lit cigarette
in it and it had very quickly burned right down to the frame.They also had a
club trailer that had a bunch of bunks in it.It was without a doubt, the
ugliest trailer in the world, but it served many purposes.
Anyway, thanks again for the site.

how are you guys getting on. We have just lost our day light savings last week end and
for us it's closing in onto winter.
We have had the most glorious summer in memory and even today our tempt is about 10
degs above average normal for this time of the year.
The bikes have done over 10000 kilometres over the summer months.
I have made a startling discovery about my Stude. I had the current motor fully
reconditioned 5years ago. (I told you about all the sealing work that was carried out to
prevent water egress) Because the engine had done so few miles some things were not
required to be reconditioned. Ok since I got it up and running I have never been 100%
happy with the performance relating to pulling power on long hills. I had the carb
reconditioned in Long Island NY but that didn’t make the difference. I had the 6 volt
system changed to 12 volts and that didn't do it either. I pulled it down many times
looking for the problem. Eventually I came to the conclusion that the valve timing was out.
I dismantled, altered the valve timing and reassembled that "B.......y" engine about seven
times over the last year and still I was unhappy. Then I gave up and just drove it.
Well about 3 weeks ago Sally and I went down to the annual Art Deco Rally in Napier
which is 500 miles away and I got so pissed off with the car hill climbing ability that I
resolved to find it for once and for all when I got home.
I hired an engineer and he came to my home and it took him 3 hrs to find the problem.
The inlet lobe of the camshaft of #1 was 7 degrees out compared to the inlet lobe of
#8.related to the fly wheel markings.
Bingo!! He told me that the shaft had to have been twisted at some time. Possibly a rear
bearing may have seized at some stage.
Well out it came and it was not until we got it to the cam shaft people that reality of the
problem became evident. It was not twisted at all as first thought rather it was ground
originally at the factory incorrectly. As the grinding machine ran down the length of the
shaft, the cutting tool was slowly rotating around the diameter of the shaft. Hence the
discrepancy of 7 degs by the time it finished the last lobe. No wonder I could get half
of the motor running well. But never the whole lot.
This shaft had never been ground since original.
Well I put it back last weekend and hells bells have I got a new motor car now.
It's got more pulling power than a city full of prostitutes waiting for the American Army to
hit town. I'm like a pig in shit at the moment. Got this real grunty 69 years old motor car
that’s finally can show a clean pair of heals.
Well that’s my story at the present time. Hey my new engine has just turned over 19000
miles.
Other than that, alls well here and we are still on target to come to the USA next July
with our bikes. I will keep you up to date as progress develops.
Must away now. Talk to you soon.
Love and best wishes to you both.
Another Dave and the one and only Sally.

NEWS RELEASE.......
"45" Restoration Companys Racing Team takes 2nd Place at Daytona.
On Monday, March 1st. Pierre Baril came in 2nd place in the hand shift
class at the Daytona International Speedway. He was running one of our
experimental Harley-Davidson 1948 WR motors. In the 20 mile race he was
clocked at over a 100 MPH on the back straight a-way leading the race
the last five laps when he ran out of gas about 80 yards from the finish
line. (WR's hold only about 1-1/2 gallons of gas). Pierre and his
father Norm Baril head up our R&D department at "45" Restoration Co.,
They are from Cornwall, Ont. Canada. Members of A.R.M.A
We would also like to thank Rob Kelly from Northern Thunder Classics for
his engine building expertise and Paul Kosma on his abilty to understand
and fine tune our Linkert MR-3 carb.
The work and experience that we perfected at the track has led us into a
lot of new & improved products for forty-five's. Look for our NEW BARIL
HIGH PERFORMANCE WLDR ALUMINUM HEADS, Racing frames, Mikuni carb kits,
Racing early clutch set ups, 4-speed transmissions and narrow WR Gas-Oil
tanks. Other products coming out soon as a direct result of
our Racing efforts.. * * * Congratulations Pierre * * * . .

Recipients, of, johannessen, press-releases, messages
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: DEAN A. MCEWEN
February 26, 1999 (916) 445-3353
SACRAMENTO: Senator Maurice Johannessen introduced legislation
Friday which would eliminate some of the unnecessary smog testing
of vehicles with after-market parts.
Currently, California requires vehicles to pass two types of
smog check tests: functional as well as the tailpipe test. The
bill, SB 1058, streamlines the "visual portion" of the smog
inspection by limiting the equipment required to be inspected,
thereby eliminating unnecessary inspection. Less time would be
spent by motorists and inspectors, fewer burdens would be placed
on referees, and less costs would be imposed on the state and
consumers by the program.
A car enthusiast himself, Johannessen stated, "Motorists who
upgrade their vehicles with after-market parts are often forced
to see a referee even though their car may run more efficiently
and cleanly. This is a complete waste of time, only benefiting
those bureaucracies which this process creates."
Added Johannessen, "If tail-pipe emissions are coming out
clean, it shouldn't matter at all what motor parts you have under
the hood. This is a good consumer bill that does nothing to harm
our air."
For a copy of Senate Bill 1058, contact either Cathy Evans
(Legislative Aide) or Dean A. McEwen (Press Secretary) at (916) 445-3353.

Dave,
I have read your thoughts on the Harley experience, and if you wouldn't
mind, I would like to share mine with you/
Last night, as I am preparing to go to Daytona, I am washing my Heritage, It
all came to me like an explosion in my head. I found myself washing every inch
of my bike, like a father washes his new born baby. As I loved every curve of
the bike, I remembered how I used to love every feature of my child's body,
very similar to others, yet uniquely their own, and both beautiful to no
limits, because their both mine.
I too, have rolled my bikes out to join me outdoors, when I couldn't be out
there riding. As I contemplated why it was so hard for others to understand, I
realized that we can no longer just dismiss those, by saying "If I have to
explain, you wouldn't understand." We need to educate these people about why
we ride... It isn't the end of the journey that matters, it is the journey,
Life is the journey, and we are already there. Many are the times that I have
ridden 8 hours to get off my bike, and wish for somewhere to go,
>>>>> This is a very important point I did miss .... about even finishing 11 days & 5000 miles & sorry I
couldn't keep on going as we pulled into the driveway & back to work the next day. ... doc
or look
forward to the next morning to get back on my bike and ride some more.
I can only hope when life's journeys are over, and I am called to a greater
reward, the sound of the angels singing comes close to 10,000 Harley's
rumbling down the road. I can only hope that GOD'S voice, captures me, as much
as a lone Harley at night.
>>>>>>> Another great moment we all have that I missed ..... I will add these 2 points later with your name to my
reasons why we ride .... with your name as the source. .... will also post this entire email in our Harley
Reading Room 4C. .... doc
That is my idea of a perfect heaven.

24' trailer for car racing. can carry 5-6 bikes im sure. maybe more, havent
really checked yet. Just for people who might want to fly in for
events...some people have short time off work but want to go to events. I have
heard its almost impossible to get rooms at some of the big runs also. Well
please get back to me with ur schedual or the location on your site. hope to
see you again soon. I'll be in Willows this weekend, instructing the SCCA
school at ThunderHill again. If your in the area look me up. Big Blue and

I started cruising the Net some time back and somehow stumbled onto your site.
I've got it marked in my catalog, and have gone back several times. Every

either got way, way too much time on your hands,

The sites you provide are great. They're fun, informative and a real nice way
to unwind some days.

similar on the internet that was about trips & harleys & not financially motivated ..... couldn't find even one
site .... so started our own ... have never taken one penny for all this stuff ... in fact we pay all the costs
involved & always have.
Don't know if this will interest you, but I thought I'd share it. I just got
my first Harley!! I've dreamed of getting one all of my life (age being
irrelevant, but Harry Truman was still throwing his weight around in
Washington, D.C. when I was born).
>>>>>>Of course we are interested!!! Me too .... I was born in 1943 .... how about you?
I got a '99 Low Rider, and this thing is beyond great. I live in NW Indiana,
it's February, I'm freezing my tush and having the time of my life. You were
right -- you can't explain it, but another rider can understand it. Life is
very, very good.
That is great! We have no financial interest of course .... other than stock
ownership in H.D. but we don't count that at all in developing a site like this .... please share your photo of
you & yours & your bike with us and all our viewers here in the Harley reading room.

This notice is for all bad ass Bikers, ASC, CCCA & Packard Club members that frequent the Rocky Mountains,
Montana Grizzly Bear warning!!!...........Be Aware, this is important!!!
In light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly bear conflicts theMontana Department
of Fish and Game is advising hikers, Hunters, and fisherman to take extra precautions and keep alert for bears while in the field.
We advise that outdoorsman wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle
bears that aren't expecting them. We also advise outdoorsman to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a bear.
It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear activity. Outdoorsman should
recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear shit. Black bear shit is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear
shit is larger and has little bells & Harley parts in it and smells like pepper.
Have a nice hike!!!!!!

Folks, this following email is from the fellow that saw we were looking for this Nov 20, 1943 Saturday Evening Post in which there was an article about my Uncle Herb (a B 25 Mitchell Bomber Pilot in the China theater during world war 2 - done just before he & crew were shot down & killed) as posted on our airplane pages out of BAD Chariots .... Steve saw our request for that magazine & contacted us ... he only wanted $10.00 including shipping for it ...... now that may be the going price for these ..... but not that one special date for us!!
We sent him more for finding our wants from the internet for this special magazine!! We do not collect magazines ...... only this special one! Uncle Herb was awarded 4 Purple Hearts, the Air Medal & the Flying Cross. I feel it is my responsibility to live his life for him too .... which he & other Veterans gave up to protect all of us. To enjoy the freedom of this wonderful country & what it has to offer.
Thank you again Stephen Kriss.

Hi Dave and Becky.
I have been selling vintage magazines and paper
collectibles part time since 1980. I will be retiring in two years and then
will probably have the time to "fool around" with a web site and update it
on a routine and timely basis.
I am aware what dealers charge for various vintage magazines and the higher
prices for searching and individual covers, etc., and that I can easily
receive those prices for my inventory. However, I am not in a full time
business with overhead to worry about, and enjoy attempting to find or sell
an item at a price that makes one happy and gives me a small profit (which
is at present being used to complete a set of Saturday Evening Posts from
1900-1949).
I can be contacted through the above email address or at 30 East 9th Street,
New York, NY 10003, should you wish to recommend me.
Once again, thanks for your generosity, concern and good thoughts.
All the best,

Joe my man,
Well, in Feb or March it should be a lot cooler than the first time we
met & we laid out the tent stuff at 120degrees on the black asphalt ....
seems I dragged you off just before you had a heat stroke. We haven't
had as hot a day since! When is the damn tour anyway .... seems we saw
it in the Tales. .... can't find that now either.
How's the married man doing ..... when are you gunna bring the misses by
for us to meet?
Have a great 1999 .... say hello to those that still remember Dr.
Strange Hemp!
..... maybe we could have another hog roast for the damn to dam posse
members that end up here? .... In fact .... give me the dates .... we
will go with you for sure if it's not at an impossible time. I know in
June we are hosting 65 Early Brass cars at our place for steam engine
rides, etc. ... March we are hosting the Rail Preservation Society here.
We will be showing a new car (if everything goes well) at Pebble Beach,
Silverado, & the Hillsboro Concours this year too.
Well, don't forget ole doc ..... think of you & Paul Rapp & all the
fun with the Rallies up here in the past ....
Best Regards to you & yours & all the others at H.D.

Hi there ,
Just a note to say that I enjoyed your page. I was at sturgis in
97 with my son.We left Kingston Ont. On july 28 and went over the hump to
the Ontario Hog rally in Marathon at the top of Lake Superior. After that we
figured that we were half way there (allmost) so after hearing about it for
30 years of my biking life figured what the hell lets do it. Man oh man we
had a ball and now a group of us are planning an other ride there in 2000.
seeyal later i'll visit again

Dandy: I am still alive and kicking.
Last night I was in the Hospital for
5 hours putting a face back together, the guy tried one of you large bore
pistols to his face. What a friggen mess. Bone, Mandible and Maxilla
everywhere, no palate teeth everywhere, no floor of the mouth left, this
was one of the worst I have ever seen. He will be a nightmare
reconstruction for the next two years so how can I quit.
I don't know what I am going to do today with the girls. I have been
trying to get them to Chico to try the BMW. Tara and I took the Harley on
a ride Saturday. She did fine. I rode on the back and she handled the rest.
You get to work right now and keep me busy. Hee Hee

& go by the hospital & wait for Crusty Rusty to finish ..... he's there

Hi,
My name is Keith Elfstrom and I created a website for my neighbor Dave
Barr. He is rather famous in the biker world. He is the only man in
the world to have ridded a Harley around the world. It took him 3 and a
half years and more than 83,000 miles. He also set a Guiess record for
riding a Harley from the Atlantic Coast of France, across Europe,
Russia, and through Siberia in the middle of winter. These are amazing
journeys for any rider but Dave did it years after losing both of his
legs while in the army. He wrote books about both adventures and I
created a website for him. I am not a money grubber and I do this out
of friendship for my neighbor, but I would greatly appreciate it if you
could help increase traffic at my site by listing this url among your
links:
www.amgelfire.com/ca2/davebarr/index.html
There are a lot of really great photos from his books and of course the
books can be purchased at the site. I would of course reciprocate with
a link to your site as well. Please send me the exact url you would
like me to use if you agree. Dave is not much of a computer guy so he
leaves this part to me but if you really are interested plese check out
the site and then reply to this address and I will get your url on the
site ASAP. I admit that I am not a biker and in fact have never ridden
but I can tell that your site is exactly the type of place I want to
link to and from. Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
Keith Elfstrom
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Keith,
I had the pleasure of meeting Dave Barr in (Sturgis Bike Week 1997) at the Civic Center in Rapid City. He was down stairs with his display ..... I took photos & we have had him up on our web site here as part of our 4 Sturgis Tours 1993 - 1997. His Page is
The Area of Sturgis S.D. 1997 off our main page 1997 Sturgis Adventure Journal.
I will have you added shortly to our COOL LINKS ROOM.
Best of luck in the sale of your book Dave, you have earned it my man!!
Sunshine & Tailwinds from now on,
Doc & Becky Hemp

Really enjoyed your site, no problem seeing you spent a lota road time
setting it up. One of the best sites for sounds and Harley support I've
found.
Keep up the GREAT work.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Thank you, (who ever in the hell you are - hee-hee)
But nothing cuts into my riding time ..... get up every morning at 3 or 4 AM .... work till 7 A.M. ..... and from 6 - 8 pm on work days .... all day on bad weather days sometimes when at home. Been at this 5 years now - it adds up. Glad you enjoy it ..... 5 yrs ago you couldn't find an entertaining site (all ads ... all wanting money) ..... no fun stuff on the internet about hobbies ..... H.D. didn't even have a site or had even planned on one back then. Now there are a lot of entertaining sites because of the many HOG Chapters, etc. on line. Book mark us ... lots more to come.
regards,
Who ever

To the Hempster & Crusty Rusty,
Merry Xmas!
It was such a pleasure to meet you two guys: two good friends who started
their business together and still have a hell of a good time working and
riding together! Hell, I think that´s the most important thing in life: good
friends! (especially because Crusty´s wife wears a beautiful new BMW
Atlantis suit from Germany, hee-hee! - and she really makes wonderful
salmon!!!)
Your other good friend from Germany
