Made my hotel reservations for the Annual Horse Smoke Out in Salisbury, NC. Really looking forward to this event. Probably one of the best events in the country. Tons of cool bikes, great looking babes, and a bunch of just plain fun!
We rode down last year just for the day and had such a blast I knew that we would be back. This year we are planning to be there for the duration.
The dates for this years Smoke Out are June 22nd and 23rd 2007. You can find some more information on the Smoke Out here.
The site says that this is the last year the Smoke Out will be held in Salisbury, NC. Not sure why, from the info posted it looks like there may have been some problems with a small minority of the locals - oh well I guess that is just the way it goes. It is such a great event that I am sure no matter where it finds it’s home it will continue.
Hope to see you there.

Avoiding Excessive or Uneven Front Tire Wear
by Jeff “Tools” Sinason - Bikerwares.com
All rubber tires wear down over time, whether they’re on a motorcycle or automobile. However, you want to watch out for uneven or excessive wear, both of which can cause serious problems for motorcycle riders. If you pay attention to the following causes of excessive and uneven wear, you will extend the life of your tires and keep yourself safe:
1. Improper Tire Pressure - We have all heard about the importance of maintaining proper tire pressure at all times. Improper air pressure in your tire is a big reason for many tire problems and failures. Be sure your tires have the recommended pressure in them at all times.
2. Humped Roads — Most roads are “humped” slightly in the middle or banked away from the center to allow rain and water to drain off. However, this hump can have a dramatic effect on one side of your motorcycle’s front tire because the side of the tire closer to the center of the road will wear faster. There’s not much you can do about this, and it can become very visible if you ride a lot. So be aware of this phenomenon and check the left side of your front tire often.

Avoiding Excessive or Uneven Front Tire Wear
1. Assume you’re invisible
Because to a lot of drivers, you are. Never make a move based on the
assumption that another driver sees you, even if you’ve just made eye contact.
Bikes don’t always register in the four-wheel mind.
2. Be considerate
The consequences of strafing the jerk du jour or cutting him off start out bad
and get worse. Pretend it was your grandma and think again.
3. Dress for the crash, not the pool or the pub
Sure, McDonalds is a 5-minute trip, but nobody plans to eat pavement. Modern
mesh gear means 100-degree heat is no excuse for a T-shirt and board shorts.
4. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst
Assume that car across the intersection will turn across your bow when the
light goes green, with or without a turn signal.
5. Leave your ego at home
The only people who really care if you were faster on the freeway will be the
officer and the judge.
6. Pay attention
Yes, there is a half-naked girl on the billboard. That shock does feels
squishy. Meanwhile, you could be drifting toward Big Trouble. Focus.
7. Mirrors only show you part of the picture
Never change direction without turning your head to make sure the coast really
is clear.
8. Be patient
Always take another second or three before you pull out to pass, ride away
from a curb or into freeway traffic from an on-ramp. It’s what you don’t see
that gets you. That extra look could save your butt.
9. Watch your closing speed
Passing cars at twice their speed or changing lanes to shoot past a row of
stopped cars is just asking for trouble.
10. Beware the verge and the merge
A lot of nasty surprises end up on the sides of the road: empty McDonald’s
bags, nails, TV antennas, ladders, you name it. Watch for potentially
troublesome debris on both sides of the road.
