"built by bikers, for bikers"

www.aerostarmc.com

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A Nebraska man was reunited Wednesday with his now-vintage motorcycle stolen nearly 50 years earlier.
Donald DeVault, 73, laid eyes on his 1953 Triumph Tiger 100 for the first time in 46 years at a trucking company near the airport in Omaha.
His first reaction? To hug the man who brought the bike back to him. His next move was - naturally - to take the motorcycle for a spin in the parking lot.
DeVault learned two weeks ago that California authorities had recovered his motorcycle at the Port of Los Angeles. The bike was about to be shipped to Japan when agents checking the vehicle identification number discovered it had been reported stolen in February 1967.
DeVault had had the bike for only a year or two when it was taken from his fenced backyard.
The motorcycle was valued at $300 in 1967. Today, it's worth about $9,000.
DeVault already has a Harley-Davidson and a Kawasaki motorcycle in his garage, so he plans to reserve the Triumph for special rides.
The Omaha man said he's talked about the Triumph over the years whenever he was around bikers. It had a couple features unusual for Triumphs made in the early 1950s, such as its hardtail frame.
DeVault recalls Marlon Brando riding a similar Triumph bike in the movie "The Wild One," which he said help make motorcycles popular. But DeVault said he was already riding motorcycles by the time the movie came out, and continued riding for much of his life.
What sold him on the Triumph was the blue color and the name "Li'l Blue Bitch" airbrushed on the side of the gas tank.
On Monday, he brought in a friend to repaint the name on the tank.

Custom 2006 Harley-Davidson Road King going to Georgia

Check out this custom 2006 Harley-Davidson Road King that we picked up from MNK Custom Works in Mokena, IL shipping out to Killer Creek Harley-Davidson in Roswell, Georgia

The 2006 Harley-Davidson Road King is a classic cruiser in every sense. From its iconic whitewall tires wrapped around its steel laced wheels, to its leather-covered hard shell saddlebags, to its lustrous chrome accents, the Road King is without a doubt, the true king of the road.
The Road King features Harley-Davidson""s immensely popular 1450cc, four-stroke V-Twin, air-cooled Twin Cam 88 engine. Available in your choice of either carburetor or fuel injection, the engine comes with an electric start, and an OHV-Pushrod valve configuration, with two valves per cylinder. This iconic engine is the muscle that Harley-Davidsons are so renowned for.
While the Twin Cam 88 provides Harley""s trademark deep resonating rumble, riders don""t have to fear that the satisfying sound of the bike will result in an uncomfortable vibration. The Twin Cam 88 engine is installed using Harley-Davidson""s vibration-isolation technology, so you""ll be able to enjoy the throaty roar of your motorcycle, without feeling it deep inside your bones.
The 2006 Harley-Davidson Road King is built to provide the rider and passenger with a truly luxurious riding experience. It features a refined steel chassis, with a square-section backbone and twin downtubes for a more rigid and stable feel, an air-adjustable 43mm front telescopic fork suspension for a silky smooth ride, triple disc brakes for smoother stops and greater control, and it""s pre-wired for the optional cruise control (which comes standard on the Classic) for the ultimate in driver convenience. Of course, when speaking about comfort, you just can""t go without mentioning the plush, tooled leather touring seat, and roomy floorboards. Both features provide the absolute best in rider and passenger ergonomics, so the miles will fly by without fatigue or discomfort setting in.
The 2006 Harley-Davidson Road King looks like a star on the road. Its full fenders, huge chromed Hiawatha headlamp and new clear-lens auxiliary passing lights, weather-resistant saddlebags, removable windshield, and its console-mounted speedometer accentuate the bike""s bold profile. Its impeccable black powder-coated engine with chrome covers and best in class fit and finish caps off the Harley-Davidson Road King""s look. Plus, with a host of color options and customizable accents and accessories to choose from, the sky is literally the limit when it comes to creating a Road King of your very own.

Harley-Davidson unveils new Street 500 and Street 750!!!!!!!!!

Harley-Davidson on Monday blew the covers off two dramatic new motorcycles for 2014: the Street 750 and Street 500.
The bikes represent an aggressive attempt to expand Harley's already massive reach to younger, newer and smaller riders by offering them a substantially lighter and more manageable urban street cruiser.
Both models feature the company's Dark Custom stylings, and a new fuel-injected, liquid-cooled Revolution X motor, cradled in an all-new frame.
Lane-splitting controversy: guidelines from the CHP
The belt-driven bikes feature a seat height of barely 25 inches and a fueled weight of only 480 pounds.
When they hit dealers in early 2014, the Street 500 will have an MSRP of about $6,700, and the Street 750 about $7,500.
Calling the unveiling "a great day in our history," Matthew S. Levatich, Harley's president and chief operating officer, said the Street series "fills a need for people who want to identify with a brand but have a motorcycle that is less intimidating, and more inviting. This bike is easier to ride and easier to learn how to ride."
Already the dominant motorcycle company in the American marketplace -- some studies estimate that Harley is responsible for more than 50% of motorcycle sales in the U.S. -- the Milwaukee-based company is particularly targeting younger riders and smaller riders, with a view to bringing in buyers in the domestic market who might not be able to afford a bike as expensive as a traditional Harley and those in the Asian market who might not want a bike as large as a traditional Harley.
Harley will also be able to supply bikes for its own Riders Edge program, a rider training series that, for first-time riders, requires a 500cc or under motorcycle. In the past, during the period that the company was partnered with designer Erik Buell, Harley had used the 500cc Buell Blast for this purpose.
Levatich is bullish on the Street's chances in the marketplace. Having already stirred up the motorcycle world with the August release of its new Project Rushmore machines, Levatich said he's hearing from his dealers that the Streets will catch fire.
"We thought the competition was not going to like Project Rushmore," a dealer told Levatich. "Well, the competition is really not going to like this bike."

1934 Harley Davidson Hardtail stolen 28 years ago has Been Recovered

A 1934 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, an original hardtail, that was stolen 28 years ago in Minnesota has been recovered in Morongo Basin and the owner, now in Wyoming, is "ecstatic," a California Highway Patrol officer said Tuesday.

The 1934 H-D model 34C was originally stolen in July 1985 in St. Paul, Minnesota, in a residential burglary, CHP Officer Alex Scott of the Morongo Basin station said.

Earlier this month, a Joshua Tree resident who is now 66 years old brought the 1934 Harley-Davidson to the CHP office for a VIN inspection, Scott said.

The resident claimed he received the motorcycle in exchange for labor, when he helped a stranger move some belongings in 1985, when he was a Minnesota resident, Scott said.

"We ran the engine number through the National Insurance Crime Bureau," Scott said in a phone interview. "We got the NICB report back yesterday, Oct. 28. With the help of the original stolen vehicle report from the St. Paul Police Department, we tracked the owner down in Wyoming."

The owner of the motorcycle, who is now 55 years old and living in Clarksburg, is "ecstatic that his motorcycle had been recovered and is making arrangements to ship the vehicle home," Scott said.

The model 34C is a single-cylinder, 500cc motorcycle, which originally featured two headlights and a manual oil pump, Scott said. It features a springer front end and a rigid frame. The only rear shock absorbers on the stock model were springs under the seat.

Whoever stole the motorcycle is unknown, Scott said. The man who tried to register it at the Morongo Basin station said he acquired it in an exchange with a stranger and there's no way to disprove his story.

Harley-Davidson Tips on Off-Season Storage

Harley-Davidson Press Release:
It just snowed in Sturgis. This means the motorcycling season will soon be over in much of the country. If off-season motorcycle storage is inevitable in your neighborhood, the service gurus at Harley-Davidson remind you to do the job right.
Or simply park your baby in the corner, and leave it untouched behind the snowblower until you’re ready for your first ride next spring. And when everyone else is cruising, you will hate yourself, because:

1. You Didn’t Put Your Battery on a Smart Charger:
We call it a smart charger because you’re smart to use it. Clean and inspect the battery and use a battery charger like the Harley-Davidson 750mA SuperSmart™ Battery Tender that incorporates a microprocessor to maintain the battery at full charge capacity during storage. Do not use steady-rate battery chargers because they may over- or under-charge a Harley-Davidson AGM battery.
Harley-Davidson 750mA SuperSmart™ Battery Tender:
MSRP: $39.95
SERVICE TIP: Do not attempt to keep a motorcycle battery charged by starting and running the bike for a few minutes while it is in storage. These short run cycles leave the battery in a discharged condition, and susceptible to sulfation, a common cause of battery failure, and leave moisture and combustion acids in the engine that may have corrosive effects.

2. You Didn’t Change the Engine Oil:
Dirty oil is like dirty underwear – it needs to be changed. Fuel and acids in dirty oil may accelerate engine corrosion during long-term storage. A fresh fill of Screamin’ Eagle SYN3 Full Synthetic Lubricant or H-D 360 Motorcycle Oil will help protect the engine, even when it isn’t running. If you choose to change your oil yourself, the Harley-Davidson Oil Change Accessory Kit includes a 10-quart Low Profile Oil Drain Pan, an Oil Absorbent Work Station Mat, an End Cap Oil Filter Wrench, and a Transmission/Crankcase Filler Funnel with an anti-burp design for smooth oil flow.
Harley-Davidson Oil Change Accessory Kit:
MSRP: $59.95

3. You Didn’t Stabilize the Fuel:
Ethanol hates your Harley. So fill the tank with fresh gas and add a product like Ethanol Guard Fuel Stabilizer to protect the fuel tank, fuel lines, carburetor and injectors from long-term exposure to the adverse affects of ethanol-blended fuel. If the motorcycle has a carburetor, evacuate the fuel line and carburetor by letting the engine idle with fuel valve turned off until the engine quits. This prevents varnish deposits from accumulating inside the carburetor.
Ethanol Guard Fuel Stabilizer:
MSRP: $5.95
SERVICE TIP: If a motorcycle is stored with the fuel tank less than full, moisture may collect in the tank and expose the bare metal interior to potential corrosion – a rusty fuel tank can cause lots of headaches down the road.

4. You Didn’t Wash Your Harley-Davidson:
Dead bugs hate your Harley, too. Give the motorcycle a good scrub to remove road grime, dirt and insect remains that can attract moisture and cause corrosion during storage. The Harley®Bike Wash Kit and Detailing Kit each include products specifically formulated for use on a variety of motorcycle surfaces, including plastic, chrome and paint. Pay special attention to unfinished aluminum (like wheels and the fins of the engine) and chrome (especially mufflers) to minimize the onset of corrosion. Allow your motorcycle to dry completely before covering it for storage.
Harley Bike Wash Kit:
MSRP: $49.95

Harley Detailing Kit:
MSRP: $49.95
5. You Covered Your Harley with a Blue Tarp:
Nice try. You know a motorcycle covered during storage will be protected from scratches, dust and dirt. But use a quality motorcycle cover like the Harley-Davidson Premium Indoor Motorcycle Cover. Its breathable polyester fabric promotes air circulation to reduce moisture build-up and minimize corrosion during long term storage. Your blue tarp will trap moisture that promotes corrosion, aned could also scratch the finish.

2012 Harley Davidson Softail Slim

are down a Harley-Davidson Softail motorcycle to its essential elements and you have the Slim. From its trimmed front fender to its narrow rear end, Slim is a no-nonsense, back-to-basics motorcycle. Call it stripped. Call it old school. Call it lean and mean. What's left is the elemental Softail profile and iconic Harley-Davidson style that recalls classic custom bobbers of the 1950s.

"It's time to make the engine the focal point of the motorcycle," says Harley-Davidson Senior Designer Casey Ketterhagen, "so we put a Softail on a diet to get the proportions back in check. Scale down the rear with a narrow tire and chopped fender and the heart of the bike, the motor, once again becomes the focus. We left a gap between the nose of the seat and tank so the rider can see the top of the motor. I like to be able to look down and see what's moving me."

To keep the rear of the motorcycle simple and clean, the Slim has combination stop/turn/tail lights and a side-mounted license plate. The rear fender struts are left uncovered, exposing the forged steel and fasteners. A thin formed-leather strap covers the fuel tank seam. The powertrain is finished with polished covers instead of chrome, and the black cylinders are left unhighlighted. The FL front fender is trimmed to expose more of the tire.


 This 2012 Softail Slim was picked up from Chicago Harley-Davidson in Glenview, IL and is being shipped down to Red Rocks Harley Davidson in Las Vegas, NV

2009 Harley Davidson Fatbob

 

There’s something about the Fat Bob that keeps on gathering a crowd this year too, the drag bike look sustained by the very same V-twin engine as on the rest of the Dyna models. So it is purely aesthetical. Of course not! It’s about offering comfort and the engine’s unique performance in a package that is designed accordingly to the rider’s preferences which in this case conclude in the aggressive drag bike appearance.

 Among the bike’s top features is the one that nobody could possibly miss, the beating and powerfully sounding heart also knows as the Twin Cam 96 engine. The bike’s centerpiece and a work of art itself - the motor - is fuel injected so it will not only provide the unmistakably grunty engine torque of 92 ft. lbs. but ensure low fuel consumption and great responsiveness. There’s also a sixth gear and forward (or mid, it’s optional) mounted foot controls so that you’ll be riding in style down the highway and obtain great mileage while on it too.

The low seat height of only 26.1 inches might manage to make the Fat Bob look like the ride of everyone, but once you become aware of the massive stature and 703 lbs wet weight (not always an advantage), it will be once again clear that Harleys are destined to serious riders with serious demands from their bikes. Also, riding on big tires with an aggressive tread pattern mounted on 16-inch Slotted Cast Aluminum wheels, the Fat Bob is a cool and confident ride.

This 2009 Harley Davidson Fatbob was picked up from Woodstock Harley Davidson in Woodstock IL shipping down to Arrowhead Harley Davidson in Peoria, AZ

Harley Davidson Seventy two

There's a certain romance to the idea of owning a chopper. We're not talking about one of those radically modern custom creations made famous by Jesse James and the Orange County Chopper guys. Our dreams are filled with choppers from the 1970s—spindly little bikes with stretched out forks, metal flake paint, and all the attitude of "Easy Rider."

You could have a small custom shop weld together a duplicate of a real ‘70s chopper for big bucks. But the Harley-Davidson Seventy-Two captures quite a bit of that magic at just under $11,000. This factory Harley isn't a real custom, but we dig the Seventy-Two's Hard Candy paint, its whitewall tires, and those hanger handlebars. Underneath the style, the Harley remains just as rideable as any 1200 Sportser.

Enterprise Enters Motorcycle Rental Biz in Vegas

Enterprise Rent-A-Car is taking a leap into the motorcycle business with a new, Las Vegas-based fleet of Harley-Davidsons.

The company better known for four-wheeled vehicles launched its two-wheeled line on Wednesday, marking the first time a major car rental company is offering motorcycles in the U.S.

Enterprise Vice President Steve Short says the company started the pilot program in Sin City because it sees opportunity among tourists who want to venture out to attractions like Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon.

Customers can now rent five different Harley models from a new Enterprise branch on Flamingo Road. Two more models should be available by the end of November.

Las Vegas visitors have long been able to rent motorcycles around the Strip, but this is the first time a major car rental company is offering them.

The All NEW Ducati 1199 Superleggera

Ducati has finally released full details of the 1199 Superleggera limited edition superbike. Magnesium and titanium abound, and the combined weight loss results in a bike weighing just 155kg dry – 177kg fully wet and ready to ride.
That’s not a lot of weight to push around, and with a claimed output of ‘in excess of 200bhp’, you’re unlikely to ever feel short of the necessary grunt to do it.
With just 500 examples of this ultimate iteration of the Panigale being created at the Borgo Panigale factory, there’s little chance of them clogging up the window display at your local dealer any time soon. Each bike will sport an individually numbered engraved top yoke bearing its identity.
The foundations of the Superleggera are built on the already extreme 1199 Panigale R, with almost every item of common metal replaced by something lighter. The monocoque frame is magnesium, as are the forged Marchesini wheels and front subframe. to read more click here

BMW Unveils the NEW 2014 R nineT Roadster

BMW introduced its highly anticipated Boxer-powered roadster today in Berlin, Germany, the 2014 BMW R nineT a tribute to 90 years of BMW Motorrad technology. The project has been in the works for quite some time, BMW teasing the public with its prototype Lo Rider Concept back in November of 2008. The production model is a brash bike that’s been pared down so the beauty of the Boxer engine isn’t hidden behind a bunch of bodywork. The suspended engine serves as a stressed member of the frame, cut-outs in the tank contribute to its sporty disposition, as do its stacked dual cans, while spoked wheels speak to its heritage side.

“The nineT pools together the genes from 90 years of BMW Motorrad and its unique concept has been designed to keep customization fans happy,” stated BMW press.

At the core of the project is an 1170cc air/oil cooled Boxer engine with a 101mm bore and 73mm stroke. Considering the motorcycle is supposed to “carry the brand values from 90 years of BMW Motorrad ingrained in it,” sourcing a flat twin Boxer that has helped define BMW’s motorcycle division was only fitting. The engines valves are arranged radially in the combustion chamber and timing is controlled by chain-driven double overhead camshafts (DOHC) in each cylinder. The valves are “actuated by cam followers of a very lightweight design, making them ideal for high revving, while lightweight hemispherical shims are used for valve clearance compensation,” said BMW Motorrad. The engine design is lauded for delivering healthy doses of torque while emitting an unmistakable exhaust note. Power numbers are claimed to be 110 hp @ 7750 rpm and peak torque of 88 lb-ft @ 6000 rpm. To read more click here

5 From Pa. Die as Motorcycles, SUV Crash Near Md.

A local coroner on Sunday identified five Pennsylvania residents as the victims of a horrific crash involving two motorcycles and an SUV near the Maryland state line.

All four people traveling on the motorcycles died, as did Marjorie Smith, 68, of Johnstown, who was a passenger in the SUV, according to Franklin County coroner Jeffrey Conner.

The motorcyclists were Douglas Hoffer Jr., 32, of Quarryville; Colleen Nesbitt, 27, of Gap; and David Russell, 67, and Michelle Russell, 53, both of Mount Joy.

The crash happened Saturday afternoon in the south-central Pennsylvania community of Washington Township, not far from Waynesboro.

According to Conner, the northbound SUV crossed the center line on Fort Ritchie Access Road for unknown reasons and hit the motorcycle driven by Hoffer. The SUV then spun around and was broadsided by the Russells' bike, he said in a statement.

Conner would not comment on the relationships among the victims. Washington Township police released no further information about the accident on Sunday.

Township Supervisor Elaine Gladhill said she went to the scene because of the high number of fatalities to support emergency workers. Grief counselors were on hand, she said.

Gladhill described the scene as "horrific" in an interview with the AP. She said it might have been the single accident with that many fatalities in the township.

2007 Harley-Davidson V-Rod

 

Check out this 2007 Harley-Davidson V-Rod that we are shipping from Woodstock Harley-Davidson to San Jose Harley-Davidson

The Harley-Davidson VRSC (V-Twin Racing Street Custom) family of cruiser motorcycles was introduced in 2001 in a single model called the V-Rod. The V-Rod was developed by Harley-Davidson to compete against Japanese and American muscle bikes. The "V-Rod" made use of the Revolution engine, developed jointly with Porsche that, for the first time in Harley public production history, features overhead cams and liquid cooling. The V-Rod is visually distinct from other Harley-Davidson motorcycles. It can be easily identified by the 60-degree V-twin engine, the radiator and the hydroformed frame members that support the round-topped air cleaner cover. A distinct difference between the V-Rod and all other Harley production motorcycles is the location of the fuel tank. The fuel tank on the V-Rod is located underneath the seat, placing the rider on top of it, rather than the usual frontal placement. The "tank" in this case is simple dressing, hiding the frame. Loosely based on the VR-1000 superbike, it continues to be a platform around which Harley-Davidson builds drag-racing competition machines. All VRSC models are produced at Harley-Davidson's Vehicle and Powertrain Operations facility in Kansas City, Missouri.

Harley-Davidson Recall on 2014 models!

Harley-Davidson is voluntarily recalling some 2014 motorcycle models because of a possible safety issue.
The Milwaukee-based company says the recall of about 29,000 bikes includes a "Do Not Ride" notice to owners and a "Do Not Deliver" notice to dealers until the motorcycle is fixed.
Harley-Davidson says the hydraulic clutch system in some of the motorcycles might not disengage the clutch, making it hard to slow or stop.
Owners of affected motorcycles should arrange an inspection with an authorized Harley-Davidson dealer. The dealer will pick up, inspect and make the repairs at no cost.
The recalls affect Touring motorcycle models FLHTCU, FLHTK, FLHTP, FLHX, FLHXS, FLHTKSE and FLHRSE, plus Softail CVOs and Trikes, models FLHTCUTG, FXSBSE and FLSTNSE, built between May 3, 2013, and Oct. 14, 2013.

Steve Rapp takes home the Championship for the 2013 Vance and Hines XR1200 series

Aerostar Global/Suburban Harley-Davison's Steve Rapp finished off the AMA Pro Vance & Hines Series in appropriately dominant fashion, securing his first-career GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing title with a blowout victory at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
Rapp earned the $25,000 prize that's awarded for winning the XR Showdown by taking his sixth win of the season in convincing fashion. The veteran AMA Pro star, who entered Saturday's finale with a healthy 23-point advantage after taking pole earlier in the day, ripped open a 1.233-second advantage on the race's opening lap and he only piled it on from there. He never put a wheel wrong despite the immense pressure of racing towards his first AMA Pro title.
Rapp gradually widened the gap to over seven seconds before cruising on the race's final two laps to a margin of victory just under six seconds.
The 41-year-old racer said, "It's just a dream. I didn't even think I'd be able to race with some new things in my life with work and what-not. Thanks to the guys from Suburban Motors, they took me in and gave me an awesome bike and team… It's a culmination of 15 years of a lot of hard work and a lot of trials and tribulations and a lot of things that go along with it. It's just great to finally do it, and do it here at home in front of a lot of friends and family."
Once again, there was significant drama behind the all-conquering Rapp in the struggle to determine second.
Eco Fuel Saver/Scrubblade's Tyler O'Hara's 'A' bike suffered an engine problem on the warm-up lap. The race was momentarily delayed as a result, allowing O'Hara to hitch a ride back down to the grid and jump on his back-up bike. However, he was forced to start from the back of the field rather than the spot he earned on the front row.
Undaunted, O'Hara slashed up to eighth on the race's first lap and continued his charge through the field from there, finally arriving in second with a three-man overtaking maneuver entering the Corkscrew on lap 4 of 11.
After that, he fended off the repeated advances of Rapp's Suburban teammate, Ben Carlson, and young Hayden Schultz (Kyle Wyman Racing), who raced in a tight pack that also included Spyke's Harley-Davidson's 2012 champ Michael Barnes and Folsom Harley-Davidson's Gage McAllister.
O'Hara held on for second at the flag (and overtook Harv's Harley Davidson's Travis Wyman as the XR Showdown runner-up), with Carlson and Schultz close behind in third and fourth, respectively.
Barnes finished fifth, while McAllister fell off the podium pack but still finished safely in sixth.
Wyman was a distant seventh with Thrashed Bike Racing's David Estok, Ruthless Racing Inc.'s Darren James, and MOB Racing's Shane Narbonne rounding out the finale top 10.

2002 Ducati 998s Ben Bostrom LE

 Check out this 2002 Ducati 998 Ben Bostrom LE that we are shipping for a customer to European Motorcycles of Pittsburgh.
Ducati chose its first big U.S. rally to unveil its Ben Bostrom replica 998S.
The bike was shown off for the first time at the Ducati Revs America event in Las Vegas.
Bostrom’s helmet design was the inspiration for the look of the 998, which combines Evel Knievel style cues with a World Superbike machine.
The bike doesn’t just boast a groovy paintjob. Every model is signed by Bostrom and it comes with Ohlins forks, rear shock and steering damper and race-style Brembo front brakes. Lashings of carbon-fibre mean that the bike is 24 pounds lighter than the standard 998 at 412lbs (187kgs).
The bad news is that, in honour of Bostrom’s racing number, only 155 have been made, and 154 of them are only available from American dealers at $22,695 (£15,617).
