One Great Video

Posted on October 1st, 2008 by Nixon in Informative

Here is something really great, which I found on youtube a few days ago. The person who created the Harley Davidson commercial must be some type of marketing genius or he must have been on drugs. As I watched the video and listened to the message, I was enthralled how they incorporated the biker’s image and scene selections, which portrays the average Harley Davidson riders lifestyle.  Watching this video actually got me so pumped up that i wanted to get on my bike and just ride away.

Here is the video:

California’s Biggest Bike Week - LOVE RIDE

Posted on September 24th, 2008 by Nixon in Informative


On Sunday, October 26, 2008, more than 25,000 motorcycle riders will depart from Glendale, California making their way to the Pomona Fairplex ground for the Silver Anniversary LOVE RIDE event. Out of the 25,000 bikers, I among the many riders will participate in this once a year fundraising riding event across the Los Angeles County highway roaring on my motorcycle.

Love Ride 25 is the major piece of the second annual California Bike Week, the state’s largest and well anticipated motorcycle event (Oct. 24-26). The purpose of the Love Ride is to help raise needed funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, which was started back in 1984. Since the growth of the event and the mass participation from the different riders, world wide, donated funds are able to be diverse to other non-profit organizations in Southern California.

This will be the biggest riding event for me this year, which I can hardly wait to participate. I am looking forward to witness the various riders from all across the nation and even world. I am also anticipating to seeing all of the different motorcycles customization made by these riders, especially any Night Train enthusiasts. In addition, it would not even hurt to get some free giveaways from some of these top vendors at the event; hopefully I can get some nice hats and shirts. A rider can never go wrong with some extra goodies. At the same token, which I believe is the best part of the event the live entertainment performance by the Foo Fighters and ZZ Top. How in the world can I not participate in this event, I must be bad if I can let this pass me by.

Well, the clock is ticking and the seconds are gradually moving. My ride is still in the shop getting its final customization adjustments and hopefully I can ride with the big boys at this event with it. If not, then I would rather rent a motorcycle from one of the local Harley Davidson dealership than cage it.

How to Create an Icon for Your URL

Posted on September 23rd, 2008 by Nixon in Informative

Last night I was on the internet doing some research for my next trip to Asia. While I was reading a few articles and different post from different sites, I noticed that a large portion of websites have their own unique icons which are called favicon or bookmark icon.

You probably haven’t heard about it, but I am pretty sure some of you have seen them. This new features allows you to create a small (16X16) small icon and place it on to your website so that when people want to bookmark your site they will be able to see your personal small icon. This feature can be used on any MSIE 5.O and up, Netscape 7 or most up to date browsers.

Here are some simple steps on creating an icon or bookmark for your site:

  • Upload an image which you would like to create to www.dynamicdrive.com
  • Maximum file size should be no more than 150kB
  • Image should be created in a 16 pixels by 16 pixels
  • Format should be in Win32 with an extension “.ico”
  • File name must be “favicon.ico”
  • Upload your file to your website in the same directory where your index.html is located
  • Insert between the HEAD section <LINK REL=”SHORTCUT ICON” HREF=”favicon.ico”>

Well, that is it. Your favicon should appear on your browser under the URL address section now.

My Night Train Project Part 1

Posted on September 18th, 2008 by Nixon in Motorcycle Project

I just met Brandon over at Todd’s Cycle in Hungtington Beach, California regarding my new parts and accessories for my 2008 Harley Davdison Night Train. He called me a few days ago and wanted me to come on in to check out their progress and see what they have been working on. It has only been like a few days since I dropped off my bike and I was surprised to see how my motorcycle was turning out after that short time period. The Phatail kit, front and rear break discs, front and rear rims, and pulley from Performance Machine along with RSD’s struts and fender made a huge difference on the look of my motorcycle.

A few days ago, I dropped off my motorcycle at Todd’s Cycle in preparation for my new modification. It has been about more than three months in the waiting and all of my ordered parts have finally arrived. It was kind of hard for me to believe that I actually waited for more than three months just to get these certain parts from Performance Machine in order to make my Night Train look good.

It was back around late May on a beautiful Sunday morning. My friends and I were taking our weekend ride up to Cook’s Corner in Orange County. This place is a very popular destination point for all types of bikers, especially all the Harley riders. As we arrived at our destination point, my friend Junior Asperor, noticed that they were having some type of function going on that afternoon, which included a live band, vendors and outdoor BBQ. At the hangout point, the parking lot was packed with sports bikes, hds, custom choppers, and even mopeds. Even along the roads leading to and away Cook’s Corner you can see some many motorcycles and vehicles parked outside.
