veteran group of motorcycle racers and enthusiasts began gathering at
the Kitty Hawk Hilton Hotel on Tuesday, Sept 7. By Wednesday morning,

meet as many of the riders and helpers pulled their vintage motorcycles
out of trailers and began getting them ready for the race. The rules
state the motorcycles must have been manufactured before 1916 and most
of the motorcycles look as if they were recently pulled out of barns
and cleaned up for the race. The official race start occurs at the Wright
Brothers Memorial on Friday, Sept. 10 at 10:am. The vintage Motorcycles
will be on display for public viewing between 8:30 to 10:30 AM. At 9:00

Banks Harley-Davidson HOG Club Officers Fired......... Letter to Editor |
||
| OBX
HOG Chapter members, It is with sad hearts that we step down from our
positions of Director and Treasurer of the Outer Banks Harley Owner
Group, effective April 29, 2009. We have been asked to do so by the
Owner and General Manager of Outer Banks Harley Davidson Dealership.
We were informed that we have not led the chapter in the right direction
and have not been supportive of the dealership nor have we maintained
adequate communication. As charter members of the organization we have
always felt a strong sense of commitment to the chapter and the dealership.
Our time and efforts extended to the chapter for the past eight plus
years have not been in vain because we feel good about what we have
accomplished with our fellow members. We have made many friends and
have sincere pride in having been a part of a group that exemplified
family and fun through motorcycles. |
||
| We
appreciate all the support of the chapter members while we were in our
positions. Thank you. Our hope is that the new direction brings happiness
to those involved. Sincerely, John and Betty Jones. See More Letters on Firings |

| Touring Hatteras Island | ||
| Mention
the name Cape Hatteras and most people think of stormy weather. I determined
to find out more about the remote island just off the coast of North
Carolina. With a map, a few notes gathered from researching on the internet
and my old 1981 BMW R100 RS motorcycle, I set out to explore the island
on July 11, 2007 in an effort to learn more about the islands history
and culture.

Honda began producing motorcycles in Japan about 1946 to satisfy a thirst
for cheap transportation in war devastated Japan. Honda began his effort
by installing military surplus engines in bicycles. As Honda became
more prosperous, he designed his own 50cc engine for the bicycles. The
first motorcycle that featured a completely Honda designed motor and
frame was produced in 1949. It was called the Model D for Dream. The
success of this model was quickly followed by the model J Benly.

| My
first act of preparation was to purchase the book Alaska by Motorcycle
by Dr. Gregory W. Frazier, a well known motorcyclist adventurer who
has motorcycled around the world 5 times. He provided some excellent
details on the road conditions from Canada and Alaska and recommendations
on what to bring, road hazards, wildlife, and roads to travel. I am
the proud owner of a 2002 Honda Shadow 750 which unfortunately was not
on the list of recommended bikes . Who would have guessed? The list
of candidates consisted mostly of dual sports including the Kawasaki
KLR 650 and the BMW GS. Well, I didn’t really want to drop quarter
of a mortgage on a new motorcycle (maybe next time BMW). The KLR 650
looked like the right bike. It had a reputation to be very tough and
dependable, however, I was concerned about how such an off road bike
would ride on the interstate. So, I decided to stick it out with my
trusty 750(fingers crossed once again).Read
