A great black and white picture of one good looking biker babe. There is just something about a bikini and a pair of chaps :)
I wish I knew where I found this great picture. If anyone out there knows who the photographer is please let me know so that I can give them proper credit. Better yet if you are the photographer send me some more - this one is awesome!
I know that we are running low (or out of stock) on some of our Lethal Threat Decals. We should have these back in stock late next week. Also look for a few new stickers coming next week.
Have a great weekend!

I have smoked cigarettes and cigars for as long as I can remember. Since high school actually. Remember when smoking was not a big deal? What about when anyone could be cigarettes? I am not anti-smoke. If you want to smoke, by all means smoke. I even enjoy being around people who smoke. I still enjoy the smell of a cigarette or a good (or even a bad) cigar.
On January 1, 2007 I decided to quit smoking. Yes I know it is corny but it was my New Years Resolution. I have tried to quit several times in the past and have always been unsuccessful. The longest I ever actually quit for was for a week, one of the longest weeks of my life. This time though I decided I would try to get some help from a patch.
Most of the patch programs that I checked out were 3 step programs and nearly all of them were the same, just different brand names. “Step 1″ releases 21 mg of nicotine into your system over a 24 hour period, “Step 2″ 14 mg, and “Step 3″ 7 mg. The patches are transdermal, which means they deliver the dose of nicotine through your skin.
Since I did not smoke that much I started out with Step 2. The first few days really were not that bad. I had cravings for a smoke but they were pretty easy to ignore. After about 2 weeks into it I really had some major cravings, especially during stressful situations at work.
I finished “Step 2″ of the patch and moved on the “Step 3″. As time went on the cravings got much easier to control. I believe that the patches really helped with this - that and cases of chewing gum.
I used the patch but you might want to check out Cigarrest. The CigArrest homeopathic formula contains a proprietary blend of six different herbal ingredients that combine to offer a safe treatment alternative for smoking cessation.
Cigarrest to Stop Smoking in 7 Days
It has been just shy of 2 months now since I quit smoking. I have finished the Step 2 and 3 of the patches. I have slipped up twice, just here recently when we were having some big (stressful) problems at work. I don’t know I just thought I had to have one so I did. I have to tell you it didn’t really help so I do not think that will happen again.One other thing about it, and I know it has not even been 2 months yet, I really thought I would start feeling better pretty quickly. I thought that maybe I would notice something about it would be easier to breath or whatever. Well so far no real difference there. My clothes do smell better and my mustache has lost the stains from the cigars.I am glad that I quit smoking, the patch really did help.
I try to eat pretty decent and I try to eat at least 3 meals a day. Yesterday was a good day.
I had my usual breakfast, a bowl of cereal (Lucky Charms, hey they are magically delicious) with skim milk. Around 10 AM I had an orange for a snack. For lunch I stopped by the Food Lion and picked up a thing of fresh pineapple. After my workout I had a couple more chunks of fresh pineapple. Then for Dinner we all went to Firehouse Subs and I had a “small” club on a sub.
My wife and I eat out a lot, I mean a whole lot. We go out to eat probably 4 nights a week. Most of the time it is to sit down restaurants, but sometimes it is fast food.
My whole out look on this is I don’t want to really change what I eat, I don’t think I eat that bad. I do however need to work a bit on portion control. Just like lastnight at Firehouse Subs - I had to make a decision between a large sub and a small sub.
The large sub would have been good and I could have eaten it all and been very satisfied, instead I went with the half-size. The half-size sub was also very good, it had all the same stuff as the large one - ham, turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato - and after I finished eating it I was just as satisfied as I would have been if I had stuffed down a whole sub.
Portion control is what I want to focus on and it is probably going to be one of the hardest things to get a handle on.
FIX MY HOG™ RELEASES FIRST-EVER BOLT-ON PERFORMANCE AND ACCESSORY DVDs; SIX HOURS OF DO-IT-YOURSELF INSTRUCTION JAM-PACKED INTO EACH EDITION
San Diego, CA, February 7, 2007—Fix My Hog Inc., the creator of three critically acclaimed do-it-yourself Harley-Davidson® motorcycle maintenance DVDs, released its first-ever DVD series designed to show riders how to enhance the look and performance of their Softail®/Dyna® and touring model motorcycles. Modeled after the company’s earlier offerings, which gained rave reviews from the public and critics alike for their easy-to-follow format, the newly released Bolt-On Performance and Accessory DVDs feature footage of trained mechanics performing and explaining each upgrade in detail. Taped in a professional motorcycle repair shop, each three-DVD set is crammed with more than six hours of valuable instruction, interviews and insider tips.
By adding high-performance bolt-on components and accessories, riders can customize their motorcycle’s look and amplify its performance, turning any bike into the ultimate riding machine. Using the simple steps demonstrated in the Fix My Hog DVDs, riders can learn how to install an aftermarket clutch, carburetor, EFI mapping system, exhaust system and more. They can also learn how to improve a motorcycle’s look by watching a mechanic install braided cables for throttle, clutch and brakes; outer and inner chrome primary; chrome front ends, custom headlights, custom gauges and more. For a complete list of topics covered on each DVD, visit www.fixmyhog.com.
Based on the same concept as earlier Fix My Hog releases, which have been called “outstanding,” “a bargain” and “well-presented and informative,” the two Bolt-On editions boast clear, digital-quality viewing and crisp sound. The long-lasting DVD format allows the viewer to advance chapter by chapter or scene by scene; viewers can even pause to see a clear, static image in detail—impossible to do with videotape—and far easier to follow than a printed manual.
The DVDs are sold separately for $49.95 each.
Fix My Hog founder Dennis Santopietro, an avid motorcyclist and Harley-Davidson owner, created the DVDs to fill a niche. “I thought it would be great to have DVDs that would make motorcycle maintenance and performance enjoyable. Manuals and installation guides can be daunting, but actually watching the procedure makes it easy to do it yourself. I’m thrilled with the response we’ve gotten. Many riders are now working on their own bikes, having fun, and saving money to boot. Whether you’re new to Harleys or have been riding for years, our DVDs make a great addition to your motorcycle shop. They’re great gifts, too.” Santopietro plans to continue to expand his do-it-yourself DVD concept by creating Fix My®… DVDs for other recreational vehicles.

I just finished my afternoon workout. I try to do at least 45 minutes on my elliptical machine 3 or 4 times a week. I enjoy working out on the elliptical and I always feel good when I complete a workout on it.
I currently weigh-in at 230 lbs. Now this is not the heaviest I have ever been, several years ago I was pushing nearly 300 lbs, but I have also been right much lighter. My goal is to get down to (and maintain) somewhere around 195 lbs.
The purpose of this site is more for myself motivation, to help me try to stay on target, keep track of what I am doing. If someone else enjoys reading it or maybe even gets some useful info out of that would be a plus.
I am not sure exactly what I am going to write about here. I am not a writer by any means, if you read this you will probably notice that my grammer and spelling are just shy of terrible. I will probably try to post a few times a week, if not more often. I think I will most likely post at least one weighin a week and I will try to pick an afternoon that I am able to post this on the samel day every week.
Later this week I will probably post a bit on what I think about diets and gyms.
Now it’s off to the shower and then to figure out what is for dinner.
This is my first post here and I do not have a lot of time right now, but since I have the site up and running I figured I should at least say something.
I am planning on posting here often about things that I am doing to lose weight and live a healthier life. I am not looking to bulk up or be some kind of muscled up body builder or whatever, just looking to drop a few of the extra pounds I have put on, eat a little better, and be more active and healthy than I have been in the past.
I will post a little more about me later but I just wanted to howdy and I look forward to sharing what I do and learn with you.
Build Your Own Custom Motorcycle
Have you ever dreamed of building your own custom bike?
You’ve seen the shows on TV where professional bike builders build radical custom Harley choppers like the Discovery Channel’s American Chopper and World Biker Build-off.
You’ve seen the bikes by professional builders like Jesse James, Paul Yaffe, Indian Larry, Billy Lane, Orange County Choppers, and Arlen Ness. These professional builders put together some awesome machines, and their bikes sell for 60, 70, 80 and upwards of 100 thousand dollars.
All of these professional bike builders have clients on waiting lists for years into the future. Why wait for your custom bike when with a little mechanical knowledge, a few tools, and a bit of creativity you can build your own radical custom chopper for a fraction of the cost.
Here are a few custom bike building resources to put you on the path to building your own custom motorcycle from the ground up or from one of the many bike in a box kits available on the market.
Custom Bike Building Books
Billy Lane’s How to Build Old School Choppers, Bobbers, and Customs by Billy Lane
Billy Lane is the fastest-rising star among the high-profile custom chopper builders, and in this book he offers many of his secrets for building a chopper that will stand out in a crowd. This is the ultimate resource for any chopper builder, a book designed as a step-by-step guide to building any type of custom motorcycle. This book also covers custom-building beyond the chopper genre. Including the building of bobbers, an old-school style of custom that has been revived as a hot trend. Predating choppers, they are on the cutting edge of current biker cool, for real riding, and much safer and more functional than choppers.
How to Build A Cheap Chopper by Tim RemusChoppers don’t have to cost thirty thousand dollars. In fact, a chopper built at home can be had for as little as five thousand dollars. The key is the use of a donor bike for most of the components. How to Build a Cheap Chopper documents the construction of four inexpensive choppers with complete start-to-finish photo sequences. Least expensive is the metric chopper, based on a 1970s vintage Japanese four-cylinder engine and transmission installed in a hardtail frame. Don’t look for billet accessories or a fancy candy paint job on this one. Next up, price wise, are two bikes built using Buell/Sportster drivetrains. The fact is, a complete used Buell or Sportster can be had for five thou or less. Now you’ve got more than an engine you have wheels and tires, brakes, hardware, lights, harness, and some sheet metal. Bolt all that stuff to a simple hardtail frame to create an almost-instant chopper. Most lavish, but still cheap by comparison with many of the bikes built today, is a big twin chopper built from carefully chosen aftermarket parts. A RevTech engine and five-speed tranny set in a Rolling Thunder frame. Accessorize from the swap meet and add a simple one-color paint job to create a bike no one needs to be ashamed of.

How to Build a Kit Bike by Tim RemusScratch built motorcycles remain very popular. In order to simplify the process, many companies in the American V-twin aftermarket are selling kits. Three of these companies, Custom Chrome, Arlen Ness and Biker1s Choice, have excellent programs. All offer very complete kits that allow the builder to assemble a complete motorcycle without any additional purchases. All that1s missing is labor and paint. The book will document, with detailed photos and copy, the assembly from beginning to end, of three motorcycles from the firms mentioned above. Because of the technical nature of this book, there will be more images and less copy than in other Wolfgang Publication books. Each sequence will be illustrated by at least 200 images. Approximately 60% of these images will be in color. This book will also contain side-bars on tools and basic assembly techniques, all designed to aid the first time builder.

Two bikers are pulled up at a stop sign. One looks up and sees a funeral procession starting by.
He pulls the bike to the side of the road, gets off, stands by its side, takes off his helmet, and bows his head. The procession passes by the intersection and the biker puts on his helmet, gets back on the bike, and starts it up.
The other biker comes over and says, “That was touching. I didn’t know you had it in you.”
The first biker responds, “Well, I guess it was the right thing to do - after all, I was married to her for 40 years.”
