Colorado conjures images of high mountain passes, deep river can- yons, and spectacular motorcycle riding. A special place in Colorado is Perry Park, a small golf community nestled against the Pike National Forest in Douglas County, south of Denver. The area boasts of scenic red rock formations that thread through the pine trees, vast open valleys, and rolling foothills dotted with farm houses and barns set near small streams and ponds. Every year the Perry Park community hosts a Fourth of July parade. This year, three vintage Japanese bikes helped celebrate our nation’s independence. VJMC member Byron Blend, a resident of the Perry Park community, brought his red, white, and blue Honda Dreams to the festivities. The Dreams were ridden by Byron, Barbara Bess, and Mike Hurley. The onlookers loved the bikes, and they garnered a great deal of attention as they wound their way along the parade route. Nothing is more American than red, white, and blue vintage Japanese motorcycles in a Fourth of July parade! Who says the American Dream is dead? l TOP: Parade route in Perry Park. ABOVE LEFT: Dreams on display after the parade. ABOVE RIGHT: Not a Honda. LEFT: Byron, Barbara, and Steve on the parade route. BOTTOM: Local firetruck shows its patriotism.

Suzuki Savage Head Plug Leak Fix by Mike Fitterling , had just finished repairs on my 68 CB350, when I turned my attention to my , 86 Suzuki Savage (LS650), known lately as “Old Smoky.” The Savage has final- I ly attained “vintage” status with 1986 being the first year for this four-speed, sin- gle-cylinder, cruiser. The Savage, however, lives on today as the Boulevard S40, and since 1993 sports five gears. That’s a long run for this basic and simple one-lunged, still-carburetored (Mikuni CV), belt-driven machine. The Savage is a lot of fun to ride with its typical thumper low-end torque and light weight (about the same as my CB350). I would still be riding mine if it wasn’t ergonomically a little too small for my medium-sized frame. This bike, like most others, has its little eccentricities. Pre-1995s were not equipped with a torque-limiting gear between the starter and the crankshaft, which can result Cylinder with head cover removed, left side. The motor from the other side.

There is also an issue with the cam chain tensioner not having enough throw, which can eventually cause prob- lems. These problems are easily addressed, however. A forum dedicated to just this bike (http://suzukisavage.com) has information on all the fixes and mods, if you are interested in learning more. Here I am addressing one particular issue and some of the typical kinds of unexpected things that arise when working on old bikes. Savages have a bad habit of leaking oil from the cam case. Apparently, no one told the Suzuki assemblers to use sealant when they installed one particular plug, and from there the problem stems.

The Tarmac Cowboys: An Ethnographic Study of the Cultural World of Boy Racers By Zannagh Hatton Abstract Through my varying degrees of engagement with the street car culture which existed around the area where 1 lived in Comwall, 1 had become aware of the extent to which cars played an important role and represented the norm of daily discourse, entered into by others, and particularly young men. Yet as one of the dominant forms of mobility, the car appears to have been a neglected topic within sociology, cultural studies and related disciplines. Furthermore, 1 was unable to find a great deal of academic literature on the combined subjects of young men and motorcars, and in particular how consumption of the car and car related activities are used by some young men to express self-definition. This ethnographic study which has examined the cultural world of boy racers aged between 17 and 24 years is the result of my enquiry.

  • Day 2 We Met up with Hughy, a Friend of Randy and Carols from Washington in AM Before We Left Pendleton
    Rat Bike Run st th August 1 thru September 4 2003 As seen through the Authors eyes; MILO ANDERSON Day1 August 1, 2003. I, Milo Anderson, my wife Joni Anderson, Randy and Carol Fergusen, Mitch and Jan Myers, Gino Benidetti, Bonnie Fender and Gordon Spezza left on our trip to Sturgis South Dakota. I was on my 1970 Shovelhead Rat Bike that I’ve been riding for 28 years. Joni was on her 2003 Heritage Soft Tail Classic. Randy was on his 2002 Soft Tail Deuce. Carol was on her 1999 Road King Classic. Gino and Bonnie were on his ’90 Springer. Mitch and Jan were on his ’95 Soft Tail and Gordon was driving the C & R Stripping truck and trailer with his 1978 Low Rider in back. We made it to Pendleton OR for the first day. It was also to be the day of the closest near tragedy of the whole trip. Joni, my wife, was going through a sweeping left hand corner with the river on the right side of the road. Her foot board bracket was scraping the asphalt in the middle of the turn. She looked down to see what was scrapping and when she looked up again she went straight off the road and into gravel. It was pretty scary for her, as well as for Mitch and Jan who were riding behind her. At approximately 40 MPH she had the back wheel try to slide out in the gravel and was sliding sideways. Joni remembers what we have told her in the past.

  • Introduction to R&C Database Compilation & Index
    Introduction to R&C Database Compilation & Index I have a long history and fondness for Rod & Custom magazine. This is the first magazine I purchased at age 10, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I often refer back to my collection, but find it hard to quickly lay my hands on a given article. This is for fellow HAMB members who share a love for this little magazine. This Index covers Rod & Custom Magazine from May 1953 through May 1974. I stopped at 1974 since R&C went out of print then. R&C was restarted in December 1988 and lasted until October 2014. This index is created for general reference, technical reference, research, tracing automobile histories, and genealogy. I have attempted to use a consistent categorization or article grouping scheme across all 20+ years, even though editors or previous compilations may not have used this convention. This index contains the following specific information: Title of each article along with a descriptive supplement such as club affiliation, noted customizers, past owners, professions, etc. The author’s and/or photographer’s name where space allowed. Featured vehicle year, make, model, & engine and/or engine displacement where available or where space allowed. Vehicle owner name, city and state. Where the country is other than the United States, I listed the country Product manufacturer name, city and state. Address may be included if space allowed. The month and page number of each feature article or photograph. The index is sorted by year, and a title at the top of each page indicates which year.

  • March 2014: 1St
    CCC Newsletter # 03-14 Well happy March Everyone! I hope you're all enjoying your classics as much as I'm enjoying mine. I got one of mine out for the first time since last Summer! Started it up without much trouble, but after driving it for a bit remembered why I put it away. Really need to work on the shift linkage so I can figure out what gear I might be going into. Oh well, that's why we love our classics . because they always need us. Speaking of “needing”, here are several classics that are looking for a new home: • 1987 Chevy Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe that the seller is asking $6,000.00 for; and . • 2000 Pontiac Firebird; 6 cylinder convertible with 27K original miles. Owner believes this may be a “one of a kind” car. Asking $22K. Both cars are featured here with pictures: www.californiacarclubs.com/forsale.htm Check them out! And now how about some automotive trivia! This one is simple, and straight forward; • What is a “Trafficator”? And the bonus trivia question; • What American car was the first to offer factory installed turn signals as standard equipment? And now on to what you're waiting for . the upcoming shows! March 2014: 1st: • Bakersfield, CA: Super Cruise Car Show; Hosted by the Bakersfield Car Club Council and the Society for Disabled Children. All proceeds will benefit the Society for Disabled Children of Kern County. It all happens at the Kern County Fairgrounds! Gate 28 opens at 8am for entry, with the show running from 10am till 3pm.
