This 21st century, café racer combines a featherweight chassis with a dominating 1,125 cubic-centimeter liquid-cooled, V-twin for powerful acceleration in any gear. Add to that its aggressive, sport riding position and precise handling and you’ve got an experience like no other.

 
 
2009 Buell® 1125R™
BUILT FROM THE RIDER DOWN

For most superbike manufacturers, engineering the perfect sportbike begins with a focus on the machine. That’s not the case with Buell. For us, it all begins with the rider. Take a look at the Buell® 1125R. Everything on this bike is there to give you more feel, more control and more confidence. It features intuitive handling, an ideal rider environment and a broad, predictable powerband, compliments of the light and compact 1,125 cubic-centimeter liquid-cooled, DOHC V-twin. It’s all there for a reason. And that reason is you.

Ever go touring on a sportbike? Want to? This is the Buell® Ulysses® XB12XT, an adventure sport touring motorcycle designed for riders who refuse to accept the notion that comfort and practicality have to come with sacrifices. Across town or across country, this bike does it all. It combines nimble handling and a perfectly tuned, sport-inspired suspension with a smooth, reliable 1,203 cubic-centimeter air-cooled engine. But it doesn’t end there. We made standard all the things you’d end up spending money on anyway, like side and top cases, heated grips and a tall windscreen. All you need now are more vacation days.

 
 


LANGLEY H.O.G. NEWSLETTER
JANUARY/FEBRUARY - VOL. 1 ISSUE 1
EDITOR: ROSE JORUNDSON

DIRECTOR’S CORNER

Where do we go from here! The past year is now a blur of activities and events which at the time seemed so important and relevant that each had a life of it’s own. At this point all we can vaguely remember is the fact we had a great time and look forward to doing it all again as soon as possible. The Langley H.O.G. Executive for 2008 are leaving some big shoes to fill for the incoming 2009 bright-eyed crowd. Thank you is such a small word; however to the Langley Chapter Executive departing their posts or terms please know your work, commitment and dedication have been sincerely appreciated Ladies and Gentlemen – “Thank You”

On with the show. The next year promises to be interesting for both passenger and rider, novice or seasoned vet as well as the weekend bar hoper or long distance hard butts. Your 2009 Langley H.O.G. Executive will have something specifically designed to fit your style. Monthly restaurant birthday dinners, bowling and wine/chocolate tours will fill the off-season months. Midweek rides and extended weekend rides to some very interesting and unusual spots are in the planning stages.

Life or riding on a motorcycle is an adventure. Riding with a group simply heightens the enjoyment of that adventure. There is a difference between flying in formation and riding in a group. Specifically there is no need to worry about interference from other objects when flying in formation. Not so when riding in a group. Group riding presents numerous additional challenges. These challenges may intimidate the novice rider or even perhaps prevent the experienced rider from joining into a group ride.

Advanced rider training courses or just practice in an empty parking lot with some cones under supervision provide a great way to gain confidence and prepare for group rides. Women discovering the joy of riding have been increasing each year dramatically. The exhilaration and feeling of pure freedom felt twisting the throttle on a Harley-Davidson cannot be described. It must be experienced. Many male baby boomers once knew that exhilaration; however due to family or life commitments where required to take a 40 year sabbatical. Those commitments have now been completed and it’s “me” time. Time to regain those magical moments of youth and carefree living.

It is our sincere hope that Harley-Davidson and the entire H.O.G. family will be a large part of your fondest memories next year when you think back over 2009. We are a large family with something for everyone. Ready to take pleasure to the next level? You found the spot. Right here with your fellow H.O.G. members. Life is different on a Harley-Davidson. Are you ready? I know I am. I look forward to our next adventure together.

Ride Safe

Cam Jorundson,
Your 2009 Langley Chapter Director

THE LADIES OF HARLEY

The Langley Ladies of Harley have had a very successful year this year. I would like to personally thank all the members of the Langley Hog and everyone else who had put so much effort, time and donations into the Langley Baby Aid Project.

We raised $1000.00 which we donated to the Best Babies of the Langleys, along with this monetary donation we donated boxes of new and like new clothing, toys, diapers and mother needs. Everyone was so very generous and without all of your help this would have been an impossible task. I again thank each and everyone of you for all the support and hard work that was put into this effort. Keep riding safe.

This year our Ladies of Harley were very successful and I would like to thank everyone involved in making 2008 a great year. During our October election two wonderful ladies have stepped forward to take over the Ladies of Harley Directorship in 2009. Heidi Gentles will be working on rides for the ladies of our club as well as our annual Chili Cook Off and Fran Rheaume plans on doing the fundraising and all the other jobs that may require attention. I salute these ladies for their commitment and wish them the very best in 2009.

Rose Jorundson, 2008 Ladies of Harley Director

TECH TALK - TOURING TIPS FOR YOUR SPORTSTER

Touring and traveling on a motorcycle are one of the most positive aspects of motorcycling. A vital part of this is making sure your motorcycle is well maintained and ready for the journey ahead. Quite often we get excited about a trip and overlook bike preparation, a vital part of getting ready to hit the road. In this segment, we will touch on a couple of key items to pay attention to when preparing for a trip on a Sportster.

The Sporrtster is simple in its design and most routine maintenance can be completed easily. For example:

Oil: Is the lifeblood of your Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The cleaner the oil, the longer life of your bike! All full oil change (engine, primary & transmission) should be changed every 8,000 kms and the engine oil should be changed every 4,000 kms. (If the oil starts to cook darker than iced tea.... Strong iced Tea! LOL!)

Spokes: Over time a laced or spoked wheel can loosen up. Check your spokes to make sure they are tight. This can be done with finger pressure or by tapping a small wrench against the spoke to hear if it sounds loose. (If a spoke is detected to be loose, it will have a different ring to it than the other spokes.)

Tires: Proper tire pressure is the key to long tire life, handling and fuel economy. There should be about 34 psi (pounds per square inch) in the front and 36 psi in the rear tire. Tire Tread is also important. Once a tire tread depth gets too low, you will have greater risk of aquaplaning.

Drive Belts: Watch your belts for cracking and small pieces breaking loose. Harley-Davidson's dirve belts are very strong and under normal riding conditions, one can expect approximately 75,000-100,000 kms of life out of a belt. Towards the end of its life, it will start to weaken and fatigue (like most of us....LOL!) If you notice some missing kogs or fatigue cracks, your belts should be replaced.

A thorough walk around of your bike every time you ride is an excellent chance to get to know your Harley-Davidson motorcycle and a chance to catch the little issues before they become BIG ONES.
Safe Riding!

Barnes Harley-Davidson Buell has a new Service Manager, Tony D'Angelo who has over 20 years of experience in the industry. Stop by and say hello to Tony.
The Service Department is open Monday to Saturday and has a Drive Through for quick oil and tire changes.

The Ride Home to Harley-Davidson(R) 105th Anniversary Celebration

By Jeanette Banta
Leaving from Apache Junction, Arizona,, our theme song for the ride became 'six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight'!

David and I were the only '2 up' in our group of seven riders, six Harleys which included one trike. Our experienced (to Milwaukee's H-D parties) leaders were Mike & Helen Johnson of the Superstition H.O.G. Chapter, our south of the border chapter as 'snowbirds'. They planned a scenic route on both secondary roads and interstates, with accommodation booked at each night stop, and the dealership parties along the way. David purchased a 2005 Road King Custom for this adventure, deeming our 2002 Sporty 1200 XL custom better for short rides!

We rode part of Route 66 in New Mexico staying at Tucumcari shortly after Sir Paul McCartney came through, same motel 'The Blue Swallow' Myself, as pillion, I found the Texas and Oklahoma panhandle, then Kansas - the 'Plains State' scenery very repetitive, many cornfields, ranchlands and huge feedlots! And Nebraska roads - this was unanimous - really bad, with frost heaves (not fixed), broken pavement and concrete. We all wondered where was Warren Buffett when you needed him! Riding into Iowa was a delight with green rolling hills,and river along with those corn & sunflower fields and large dairy farms. We passed by Winterset, John Wayne's birth place, and home to covered bridges of Madison County 1880 theme for the movie with Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood.

Party stops to celebrate Harley-Davidson105 Ride Home were Hays, Kansas at Doefler's Dealership with free BBQ, great music and an event sponsored by 'Miller Lite'; Lincoln, Nebraska, with by donation BBQ, live bands, and more 'Miller Lite'; and Coralville, Iowa (just outside Iowa City) where we were treated to the best pulled pork on homemade buns, and Iowa corn on the cob! Great weather and all held outdoors.

Our last full day of riding to Milwaukee was just 285 miles, mostly northeast, using highway 151 to join up with I-94 at Madison, Wisconsin. We had already logged 1,750 miles in the previous five days. Including a short visit to the National Motorcycle Museum at Anamosa, Iowa, passing by J&P Cycles, we arrived to 'Party Central' at Capital City Harley-Davidson(R) Dealership in Madison around noon. The official ride into Milwaukee was starting here, and there were thousands of bikes in the parking lots and beyond waiting for information. We lunched on the free food and visited with folks in line (for everything) then continued on our way. Following I-94 we had the opportunity to get into the party spirit by waving to folks gathered on the overpasses in anticipation of the motorcycle parade. One of our riders, Bob Block, Assistant Director of Superstition H.O.G., grew up in Milwaukee and that evening, after checking into our downtown hotel, he lead us on a walking tour of the city's historic buildings Dinner was at a former 'speak-easy' called 'The 'Safe House' and located in an alley off the main streets! We had arrived! Let the party begin!

There was Club H.O.G. 25 at Miller Park Grounds with continuous entertainment, stunt riders and motorcycle drill teams including our own Seattle Cossacks, vendors and opening ceremonies. Two days of concerts, H.O.G. Island, seminars at Summerfest Grounds along Lake Michigan; H-D facility tours at the Juneau Avenue plant, Miller Brewing Co. was open to bikers for tours and tastings, three Harley-Davidson(R) Dealerships with activities and entertainment, open houses, street parties, and the motorcycle parade on Saturday morning through downtown Milwaukee. Local folks got into the biker culture - I met a hair stylist who came out of her shop to see the bikes pass by (and she's done this every 5 years!).The hightlights for us: our visit to the new H-D museum - spending 3 hours inside well worth the trip, and the final night concert by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band; he gave us 3 1/2 hours of great music and no one minded standing the whole time at Veterans Park on a hot August night! It was everything we had hoped for and more!

August 31st riders were leaving the city, heading in many directions. We were lucky to meet up with Langley H.O.G. Chapter members Ron & Helen and Millie & Bill to ride into Illinois and Missouri, spending two days on the road together. Weather was changing fast as the storms from the Gulf were arching north. Our route was south to Branson, Missouri while the others continued west. We had another week of riding before making Arizona; total trip logging 4,730 miles. And very thankful to be back safe after a memorable ride on the Road King.
