BikeReader
So you gotta check out our Good Bud Scout’s page, Bikereader. It’s full of images and words of what is exactly going on in our riding world today.. You ever get the feeling that even though cuz you ride you really don’t fit or can be identified as a biker? Well Scout’s got that figured out and gives you a little taste of how we as enthusiasts belong to a far more deeper identity than just “biker”
From Bikereader….”What is this new scene that is comprised of a somewhat younger breed of rider on modified cruisers rippin’ our streets? Well, it’s not a “biker” scene. The contemporary biker image is different that what is seen in this new scene. Though the roots overlap in ways, the new scene feels like a reaction to the macho, tough-guy, simple biker image. There are several types of bikers these days as I see it, and this new phenomenon doesn’t seem to apply to any of these current biker factions in my OPINION. The biker image has blown into something that it originally wasn’t. The label has been hijacked into a meaning that is soft, superficial and commercial. This younger scene seems to have qualities compared to what can be found in the dawn of the current American biker icon.
This new motorcycler is less of what bikers are now, and more of what bikers were in their beginnings. From the vocal SoCal period-correct vintage purists, to the open-minded Limpnickie collective around the country, to the Chicago area hardcore riders, to the art/chopper mix in the East Coast, to the performance-inspired younger guys that sort of sprouted from the Big Twin aftermarket, to the isolated skaters on club-inspired later models, to the anything-goes unapolegetic youth Horse magazine subscribers on their first chop, to the Quad Cam Bastards who are proving Sporsters aren’t girly bikes, to the street tracker guys who got ideas from Dave and Dustin… When somebody dubs them a biker it doesn’t seem to make sense. The wrong image comes up.

Invest in a Lift
If you have some extra cash a great investment is a bike lift. A bike lift makes service work much easier, and you won’t end up like a contortionist trying to reach odd positioned bolts on your bike. Another great feature of the lift is the ease of cleaning your bike, especially your wheels. Now many different types of lifts are available, you don’t necessarily have to buy the most expensive lift but the least expensive lift may not be the best deal. Certain model bikes such as some year Dyna and sportsters have uneven undersides and need frame adaptors to lift the bike level, not all lifts have these available. You also want to make sure the lift you’re buying is rated for the correct weight of your bike; you can find the weight of your bike in your service manual. Don’t skimp out on a lift, quality rules over price like anything in life. You don’t want to be trusting a $99.00 lift to support your bike because it was a great bargain. Remember, this lift is going to be holding anywhere from 500 to 800 pounds of bike 12-24 inches in the air which you will be right next to or underneath. If that lift fails you where’s your value now? K&L’s MC550 is a great lift, check out this demo video.
Things we should learn from dogs…
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you’re not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.

Mustang Super Touring Comfort for FL
Mustang’s new one-piece “Super” touring design provides the rider and passenger with the most comfortable seat possible on 2008-10 FL models. Not only does the driver sit in a deeply pocketed, 19” wide front bucket, but Mustang’s new Super Touring seat moves the driver 1.75” further back than the stock seat. The seat is also lower than stock so that the rider can plant his feet firmly on the ground.
Never forgetting the passenger, Mustang provides a full 14” wide seat which is fully supported by Mustang’s unique internal support wings that eliminate any sagging at the edges. More passenger comfort means fewer passenger complaints.
Available plain or with studs (either chrome or chrome with black pearl centers), the Super touring seat is available with or without a fully adjustable driver backrest that folds flat for ease of getting on the motorcycle and removes easily without tools.
Mustang’s One-Piece Super Touring seat with chrome studs and a Driver Backrest is $719. A matching Wrap-Around Passenger Backrest with thicker, extended arms for only $279 completes the custom looking passenger comfort.
Celebrating their 30th anniversary this year, Mustang continues to proudly handcraft all their seats in the USA. For more info, visit mustangseats.com or call 800-243-1392.
