Harley Davidson fuck up .. I mean error. Recall 0143
HD has made a nice sized error that they have caught onto and corrected . They put the wrong fork springs on the FXDF, it actually has FXDWG internals which cause improper handling in turns . Here is the statement by HD pertaining to the problemo .
Safety Recall Campaign 0143 (2010 FXDF - Fork Leg Assemblies)
Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Inc. has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists on certain model year 2010 FXDF motorcycles with Fork Leg Assemblies (LH P/N 48622-08, RH P/N 48623-08) built 1/29/10 through 2/9/10. These Fork Leg Assemblies may have been incorrectly assembled at the supplier with FXDWG Springs (P/N 46620-06) instead of FXDF Springs (48741-08). The motorcycles with assemblies containing the wrong spring will have reduced suspension effectiveness which may result in reduced traction on irregular road surfaces, and will also have a different lean angle when parked on the side stand, possibly affecting parking stability. This condition may increase the risk of a crash and possible injury or death to the rider.
We have voluntarily declared this a defect related to motor vehicle safety (Campaign 0143) to allow us to formally recall all affected motorcycles. The remedy is to inspect the subject motorcycles by examining the date code label on the inside of the fork sliders. For those with a date codes of either 26A10 or 22A10, indicating a suspect spring , dealers will replace the Fork Leg Assemblies with a properly assembled part. A service bulletin outlining the repair and credit procedure will follow within ten days. Based on the schedule our supplier has provided we expect to have repair kits available for order on or before the week of July 26, 2010.
In the interest of the safety of our mutual customers and as required by law, you may sell but NOT DELIVER any motorcycles equipped with the defective Fork Leg Assemblies to your customers until the remedy is completed.
In accordance with Federal regulations administered by NHTSA, Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Inc. will provide notice to all owners of record of affected products with direction to bring the vehicle in for the recall service.
Sincerely,
Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Inc.

New tattoo
Just kidding ! Ive been a bit off topic lately but I promise to have some new shit to blab about soon. Sometimes this chopper shit gets to be an anger fest when people you know do dumb shit and mess things up that cant be fixed, they need to be replaced . On the other hand, chopper shit aside , this tattoo is great. I don't know who did it or who its on so don't ask. It does look well done tho . . . I have had this pic for a few years and today it made me laugh. Hope it brings a smile to you face too ! Do a wheelie , FTW .
Action causes re-action .
The humans have let me down again . Every action has a re-action . I react with action . Just sayin' ...
A picture is worth a thousand words
Sometimes those words are Fuck Off ! Sometimes those words are " Hey buddy! " and sometimes there are no real words to describe what the fuck is going on some times in some places. I love this picture, it just says - I am free, you are not .

RSD . Roland Sands Designs .
Some of you already know him, some don't. Some people like him, some don't. Opinions are like assholes tho, we all have them and they all have a certain amount of shit attached to them ... I like the guy. He's super cool and he builds awesome stuff and the quality is second to none. Roland is CEO of Roland Sands Designs and 1/2 of the illustrious Performance Machine company . Hes real good @ the combining the old and the new to get to a new level of performance and quality which shapes the future of custom motorcycle parts standards . For those who think his bikes just look cool on tv, check out this pic of Roland below jumpin his twin cam over a small sewage river in Los Angeles . Please try this @ home asap ! Some of you may have to unbolt some goofy chrome stuff to hop a curb but fuck it .... ITS FUN - LIVE A LITTLE .

Jason Pullen fuckin rips .
Jason Pullen is one of my favorite stunt riders. For the simple fact that he chooses a Dyna, FXR or a Sporty and straight up fucks shit up on it . This dude rides up stairs , jumps curbs, does wheelies for blocks, walks his Harley around and generally is never sitting on his bike for more than 30 seconds . Check the vids and then goto his website and check it out . http://www.jasonpullenstunts.com Not many people ride a bike like this guy . FTW .
Happy July 4th
Always remember - Freedom is not free, youll pay for it one way or the other .
