Final Update on Pinhead ( Ron Miner )
I just got off the phone with John Youells. He advised me that Pinhead passed away a short time ago today. At this point I do not have any information on services, etc, but I will make it a point to share that information with everyone.
I would like to thank each and every one of you that had escorted him to his spaghetti dinner last week, it meant a lot to him !!!
I would also like to thank those of you that attended the event in his honor. He told me how happy he was seeing so many of you at the event.
I am thankful that we were able to attend that event and provide him with the cycle escort as our final, yet too soon, farewell to our friend.

The Tintype Photographer Who Works Out of a 1938 Harley-Davidson Sidecar
Rob Gibson is a tintype photographer who works in what he calls “the world’s fastest darkroom.” After photographing vintage motorcycle and car events, he develops his tintypes in a 1938 Harley-Davidson sidecar that he zooms around with.
“I do wet plate collodion photography, the same process that was done in the 1860s that requires coating a glass or tin photographic plate sensitizing it, rushing it to the camera, making the exposure, rushing it back to the darkroom and developing it before it dries out,” Gibson tells PetaPixel. “This process was done from the 1850s up into the 1880s when eventually dry plate and film took over.
“Some of my cameras are well over 150 years old and I use all the same chemicals that were used back then.” Continue reading

I just wanted to thank all of the members that went out of their way this past Saturday to attend the event at Rockhill Community and Greenfield. That morning at breakfast, Tawmy and I were talking about the fact that we did not know how all of this would play out and how many would be in attendance at either event. As usual, IV HOG does not disappoint !!! We arrived at Rockhill and there were already several bikes there !!! We rolled in with about another 9 or so, bringing the total bikes there to about 15 or so. Continue reading

Hogs and Dogs 2017
Hogs and Dogs in upon us once again. As I have done in the past, I am putting together a breakfast ride prior to the event. Please see below for the details of the ride alone and the IVHOG home page for the Hogs and Dogs event itself. I would like to give a special thank you to Bill Lichtner for arranging this event with the assisted living facility. This is a fantastic event for some very special people who are in desperate need for some diversion in their everyday lives. So please come out, if not for the breakfast and ride, but for the Hogs and Dogs event itself and see the glow in the residents eyes as we ride in together and visit with them. Take advantage of this great opportunity for our club to give back to the community. Continue reading

Blender pump confusion may lead to inadvertent misfueling with E15 fuel
There is no federal regulation to mandate a new "Flex Fuel" label for the summer. Retailers are attempting to sell E15 fuel in the summer months (June 1 - Sept. 15) as a "Flex Fuel" to circumvent the Reid Vapor Pressure restrictions. RVP is a measure of gasoline's propensity to evaporate. As part of the 1990 Clean Air Act amendments, Congress enacted a provision allowing conventional gasoline to exceed the RVP limit by up to 1 psi provided it contained up to 10 percent ethanol. The 1 psi waiver is not available to ethanol blends greater than 10 percent (e.g., E15). The ethanol industry has asked Congress to extend the 1 psi waiver from E10 to E15, contending that it is needed to allow E15 sales during the summer driving season. Continue reading
