Suzuki Recalls 2008-2010 Motorcycles for Regulator/Rectifier Heat Problem
Suzuki is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 motorcycles.
These motorcycles were manufactured from July 2007 through September 2009, equipped with regulator/rectifier assemblies, Suzuki part numbers 32800-41F11, 32800-15H10, 32800-05H11, 32800-41G10, 32800-15H00, 32800-18H00, 32800-05G10, 32800-10G10, 32800-05H20, or 32800-06G01. Some regulator/rectifier assemblies were produced with insufficient adhesion between the power module (circuit board) and the rectifier case that contains a heat sink to dissipate heat. Due to insufficient adhesion, heat generated on the power module circuit board can cause the circuit board to deform, and lift off the case.
The number of units affected is 73426.
Check out my Motorcycle Recalls feature for more details.

Mazda Mx5 Cars Second generation (NB)
2002 saw the launch of the MX5 SP. The MX-5 SP was developed and sold in Australia and its turbocharged engine produced 157 kW (211 bhp) at 6800 rpm. Only 100 of these cars were built. The SP was very expensive in comparison to a standard MX5 at the time but offered blistering performance.
In 2003 Mazda launched a campaign to target a younger group of drivers with the introduction of the Shinsen Version (SV) Miata. The Shinsen (Japanese for "Fresh and New") provided an intermediate step between the base model and the pricier LS. Equipped with most standard features on the LS, such as cruise control and aluminum brush trim, the SV added a touch of comfort and style without a hefty price tag. This limited production model also shared an inverted color scheme of the same year Special Edition. With a titanium silver exterior, dark blue top and interior, the Shinsen Version was a handsome addition to the Miata family.

While downshifting, it may be possible to inadvertently engage reverse without depressing the reverse button, due to a defective reverse actuator cable. If this happens while vehicle is moving forward, the rear wheel could lock and the engine could stall.
The number of units affected is 160.
Check out my Motorcycle Recalls feature for more details.

Gettin ready to do some air brushing
For those of you who have checked out my paint blog, I'm sure you've seen these pictures; but for those who have not, this is a tank I painted. This is what a flame job lay out looks like in the masked off stage as it gets ready for some airbrushed color.
Remember the Titan Sidewinder frame I posted a while back? More of that bike to come soon. Hopefully will have another post of some of that work in a couple of weeks.

2011 Harley-Davidson FXCWC Rocker™ C
Designed to turn heads, the 2011 Harley-Davidson FXCWC Rocker™ C model boasts style elements like a color-matched frame and swingarm, dual, staggered shorty exhaust, LED stop/turn/tail lights, a raked-out front fork and ultra-wide rear tire. Perhaps its most notable feature, though, is the innovative solo-style Trick™ seat, which conceals struts and a passenger pillion to convert to two-up riding

Riding weather comming soon? Nope........I don't think so.
We've had so much snow this year!
Unlike winters passed, we haven't really seen the deer in our back yard.
I think the snow was so deep the deer must have actually been burried in it........

Yep, Won't be long now!
Coming soon to a neighborhood near me: Riding weather! NOT!

The SSC ULTIMATE AERO II to beat Veyron Super Sport Top Speed Record
The new SSC Ultimate Aero II has been expected with a well-defined function: to beat Super Sport Bugatti Veyron top speed record. The new American supercar SSC Ultimate Aero II, announced a few months as a result of the innovative character of Jason Castriota, is shown in all its excitement, thanks to an exclusive photo shoot created by Top Gear, the automotive set-up of British BBC network best known among car’s fanatic. The record for fastest manufactured car in the world (not prototype), belonged to the previous SSC Ultimate Aero I, just won by Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.
New Ultimate Aero II Shelby Super Cars, to bring back the record at home, relies on a 6.8-liter V8 twin turbo 1369 hp and lightweight carbon fiber shell that keep the total weight of the car within 1179 kg. Designed by Jason Castriota, who now works for Saab, the SSC Ultimate Aero II seems to have assimilated shapes of Maserati Birdcase 75th, Ferrari 458 Italia and P4/5. The engine of SSC Ultimate Aero II is able to push the car to a top speed of 443 km/h (12 km/h more than the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport) and reaches 96 km/h (60 mph) in 2 , 8 seconds. To support this extreme performance, the SSC Ultimate Aero II is equipped with carbon-ceramic Brembo brake system, active flaps that help in braking, traction control, ABS and power steering....

went from $350 to about $430. This couldn't have anything to do with more cities, counties, states and our country going bankrupt and more stop light cameras getting installed, could it?
Variety of cool stuff I came across at the GNRS
Made me laugh Really great look, I don't think I've seen a steering wheel like this before before the Garmin, early primitive man had a MAP! This mounted clip board seems to be function and utility for a rally great collection! The shifter know instead of the normal handle is a cool touch, the white walled red rims with beauty rings are damn good looking too

Big-uns
Now mind you, I have been happily married for almost 20 years now, so this is not me talking, but this was just too funny not to pass along.
.
When I was 13, I hoped that one day I would have a girlfriend with big tits.
.
When I was 16, I got a girlfriend with big tits, but there was no passion, so I decided I needed a passionate girl with zest for life.
.
In college I dated a passionate girl, but she was too emotional. Everything was an emergency; she was a drama queen, cried all the time and threatened to commit suicide. So I decided I needed a girl with stability.
.
When I was 25, I found a very stable girl but she was boring. She was totally predictable and never got excited about anything. Life became so dull that I decided that I needed a girl with some excitement.
.
When I was 28, I found an exciting girl, but I couldn't keep up with her. She rushed from one thing to another, never settling on anything. She did mad impetuous things and made me miserable as often as happy. She was great fun initially and very energetic, but directionless. So I decided to find a girl with some real ambition.
.
When I turned 30, I found a smart ambitious girl with her feet planted firmly on the ground, so I married her. She was so ambitious that she divorced me and took everything I owned.
.
I am older and much wiser now, and I am looking once again for a girl with big tits.

Austin Speed Shop's "El Gringo Loco" ... fantastic interior, superb lace paint, terrific total design
I even dig the flame outlines.. .the traced out lines look really good in context to the gold lines from the headlights and along the hood borders I love the seats, the center console, and the shifter knob. You don't see many try at lace paint... this is one of the few new lace paints, and nailed it. perfect look!
Great customs at GNRS, I don't know what hall bldg, but the total quality caught my eye of these beautiful cars
The above "Wild Cad" from Mario Colalillo and Canden County Customs won Top Radical Kustom and the Barris Kustom D'Elegance award. Love this color combo, reminds me of blueberries and cream Terrific looking design, but I wouldn't have went with this color
D'Agostino Customs tackled one of the ugliest cars, a 1975 Stutz Bearcat... Elvis loved them, but do you?
John and his company do great work... and this will stand out anywhere is goes, but would you want it?

I think I located Jay Leno's Big Dog Garage
This isn't much evidence, but it's at the general location that is commonly known (by the Burbank Airport) and Jay is supposed to have more than one building, one for working on the collection, at least one for storing them, and the sign above the door says "Service entrance" And the amount of rubber on this side street in front of that gate, well... draw your own conclusion... but the people I
1946 Hudson truck, the Superwasp

Got Snow?
It's been a white wintery not so wunderland here in Minnesota this year, and I know many other places as well.
Matter of fact, this year in Minnesota, we broke the all time record in the month of December for snow fall, and the snow has not stopped yet. It just keeps coming and coming and coming. It's like the Energizer Bunny on Viagra doing porn.
Being an insurance adjuster, I think I've handled more interior water damage claims caused by ice dams due to the repeated large snow falls this year than any other year before. Correction, I know I have.
Mrs. M. refers to this year as "Snowmageddon".
So for me and all of the other snow bound riders out there who won't be riding any time soon, I am posting this to lighten our spirits.
Below is an aerial photo of the average upstate NY & New England commute for folks these days....

Harley-Davidson Recalls 2011 Softails for Engine Stalling
Harley-Davidson is recalling certain model year 2011 Softail motorcycles manufactured from June 7, 2010, through October 8, 2010, which have had a security system kit installed as an accessory.
The Body Control Modules (BCM) involved are part numbers 69991-11 and 69993-11. The BCM has a case that may not have been properly sealed during production. An improper seal may allow water intrusion into the BCM which may cause engine stall.
The number of units affected is 6964.
Check out my Motorcycle Recalls feature for more details.

2011 Porsche Boxster S Black Edition
Back View of the Car
Porsche started to buildup the 911 Black Edition, but is already rolling out that car’s greatest competitor: the Boxster S Black Edition. Like the 911, this one leaves a dark idea, with black finishes for not only the body, cloth top, and 19-inch wheels, but the air intakes, roll bars, and dual tailpipes, as well. The top is embossed with "Black Edition" lettering.
The same monochrome look from its 911 sibling dominates the interior. The seats—available either as cloth with leather accents or fully wrapped in cowhide—are all black, as are the instruments and the trim on the dashboard and center console. A badge on the glove box tells you the car’s place in the limited production run, which will number 987 units—that number being the internal model designation for the current- (second-) generation Boxster. The 911 Black Editions, for comparison, will be produced in a run of 1911.

The 911 Black Editions, for comparison, will be produced in a run of 1911.
This limited-edition Boxster equip with a lot of extra equipment at a reasonable first-class price. In its German home market, the Black Edition is a few thousand Euros more expensive than the Boxster S, but it is equipped with the navigation system, a sound package, and xenon HID headlights, which would cost significantly more if spec’d individually.
While the Porsche 911 Black Edition is powered by an unchanged version of the least-powerful engine in the 911 lineup, a 345-hp 3.6-liter flat-six, the Black Boxster is fitted with the strongest six in the Boxster armory. The 3.4-liter from the Boxster Spyder and Cayman S produces 320 hp at 7200 rpm, narrowing the gap between this car and its 911 counterpart to just 25 horses. The excellent six-speed manual is standard, while the PDK seven-speed dual-clutch transmission is optional. Like any Boxster, the Black Edition can be optioned up with an adaptive suspension and Porsche's carbon-ceramic brakes.

Dodge truck rat rod, with a footlocker for a trunk, and a standout special rear window ornament
I like the tires and rims, nice touch. I don't know where they could have found this ornament, but it's superb Looks just like the footlocker my dad brought back from his time in the army during the Vietnam war
Harley Freeman's '24 Dodge... barbwire, bullet casings and flash supressors
Con rod for a shifter, and a Speed King drum pedal .. right on. Plus, a Blastolene sticker Above, a speaker cover. I like it
Great idea for race car trailers
Check out the innovative idea here, once the car is out, use it for a counter to sell stuff, deal with customers, or whatever, bny flipping up some countertops, lift up the side, and put in some chairs. Crown molding lighting is good too
Gerry cans and ammo cans, a new use for cool old military stuff
If you look close at the left hand can, at the top of the photo, you'll see the low pressure air fitting in the filler cap. It didn't work well the first time, but the builder was trying to use the gerry cans for air tanks for the air suspension... that's a good idea! The problem was the fitting, not the can.
Good photo, that's a tribute to the car builder, who decided that this brake light belongs right there
maybe it's the curves in the body line contrasting the curve of the tire being bisected by the chrome. Whatever it is, it's a great spot for that light.
the Streeet Sweeper made by Slim's Fabrication, this van does effin wheelies!
Advertising your work doesn't get much more permanent than welding onto the bumper... and it's how I could find more info on the builder... so it definitely works see some better shots on Slim's blog: http://slimsfab.blogspot.com/2010/08/streetsweeper-by-slimsfab.html
One cool hot rod
Not many hot rods go with the 413 Max Wedge induction, it's awesome looking long induction has to be the most far out I can think that any factory ever made That brass is great And you might not see them well, but the stanchions are huge pistons, or look like pistons, and make a great display
Mike Dingillo's riveted rat rod
I didn't get a good shot of the top of the trans, but you can see that "go" and "rev" have been lettered on, reminiscent of Van Dutch's stating the obvious humor... I dig it Great dash, love the riveted speedometer piece
