FAMOUS STARS GET OFF ON HOGS

FAMOUS STARS GET OFF ON HOGS
I don’t profess to be a critic of movies even though I have seen my fair share of road movies, and not withstanding this has a familiar theme that I’m sure that all who have seen it, would agree its a bit like City slickers meeting Easy Rider with a lot of fooling around thrown in...Yeah!
The movie is absolutely awash with first class actors and you need to be observant for some little cameo roles by other famous actors will surprise.
The notable lead stars all who are legends of film making like, Tim Allen as Doug, William Macey playing as Dudley, Martin Lawrence is Bobby, and the notable John Travolta as Woody.
The trailer clips that were released, showed us all that it was to be a road trip movie, with a fair bit of humour thrown in, and it didn’t disappoint.
The motorcycles of note were Harley Davidson's… pretty much all of them. Ridden by the stars in all but a few scenes, when doubles were used. It has been noted that a Major Motorcycle Riding Club took part in making up the numbers in the “procession” scenes and some of the stunt work. The Filmmakers were displaying some real heavy talent...besides Harley Motorcycles.
Worth a view on CD just for a laugh!

HARLEY DAVIDSON and New Model Launch 2010

HARLEY DAVIDSON and New Model Launch 2010
Harley Davidson is a little bit light on, in it’s 2010 Model line-up (lousy joke) with no less than nine new models we can swing a leg over. This is unprecedented, and represents the largest model introduction in Harley-Davidson's long history.
Harley-Davidson's entry level starts out with no less than a total of five models all priced around, or just under $10k.
Naturally if you have the dosh, and might want to splurge, then you can try four new models from their Custom Vehicle Operations Group and drool over no less than a CVO Fat Bob, CVO Softail Convertible, CVO Street Glide and just the epitome of Harley-Davidson, the top end CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide. These models will only set you back between $25k to $36K not much if it’s what you want, and Harley have the lot.
Yeah, yeah OK, there are models in between these price brackets including the great old American V-Twin. Check out the photo gallery that I found on the following web site, with the best photo line up Harley-Davidson could muster at :-

RIDE FOR DANIEL
THE DATE WAS 8TH JUNE, 2008 Some time ago now, but a mate of mine sent me some picks and made a short video that is an easy watch, so it was essential that I kick started this blog off with this article for the new year, of a major, major, major (to coin a phrase, Barry Sheene )event.
We can't forget what the Ride for Daniel typifies. It has justly so, become to be the premiere child safety awareness event in Australia.
Thousands of biking enthusiasts from all walks of life across Aust. united together to honour Daniel (view previous post) and raise the level of awareness for child safety and protection. Funds raised on the day went towards education of children, and the general public through the work of the Daniel Morecomb Foundation.

There are some shots of Biker Guys and Girls that had a time out on the Daniel Ride to refresh and give their Bikes a Drink.
