Brant Sawzak, the head technician at Cas-cade Moto Classics, Inc. (CMC), was listening to KINK 101.9 FM on the radio and heard there was a Listen at Work Contest. He en-tered CMC in the contest and when they an-nounced the shop as the winner, Brant had 30 minutes to call in to win a free lunch for the whole crew. Fortunately Brant made the deadline and KINK showed up on December 23rd with lunch from Elephant’s Delicates-sen. Not only did the KINK car show up with lunch, but they also brought free scratch-off lottery tickets (Liz, Janice, Bill and Brant all had winning tickets!), tickets to the Winter-hawks’ hockey game, and tickets to the Win-ter Wonderland PIR Christmas light show. All of us at CMC thank Brant for listening to the radio at work!

Our 13th Annual RAT Dinner will be held Saturday, February 13th at the Monarch Ho-tel in Southeast Portland just off I-205.

Th e deadline for reservations will be Feb-ruary 6th, so if you haven’t already contacted Cascade Moto Classics, Inc with your dinner reservation you need to get moving.

Details of the dinner and info for making room reservations at the hotel are on page 3 of this issue. Don’t forget: the next day, Feb-ruary 14th, is Valentine’s day.

Off-Season Changes To

Regular readers will notice some changes to the RAT Tales this month. Since there are fewer events to report on in the winter sea-son, we have opted to go with smaller news-letter during these months rather than the 12 page version. Printing dictates the news-letter has to shrink or grow four pages at a time, thus we have a new eight page newslet-ter. In order to give you the most info and photos we have compressed some of our reg-ular features and have used a slightly smaller type size. Like it? Hate it? Let us know.

Triumph Announces 2010 World Racing Plans

Triumph Motorcycles and BE1 Racing will enter four riders in the 2010 Super-sport World Championship, including

French two-time world champion Sebastien Charpentier, who returns to the series fol-lowing a two-year absence. With two world titles and 13 race wins to his credit, Charpen-tier is the most successful rider in the history of the Supersport World Championship.

Th e youthful ParkinGO Triumph Fac-tory Team will consist of British rider Chaz Davies and American Jason DiSalvo, while Charpentier will be joined by Spaniard David Salom in the ParkinGO Triumph BE1 Racing squad. All four riders will be running iden-tical BE1 Racing-prepared versions of Tri-umph’s award-winning three-cylinder Day-tona 675-machine.

Davies, 22, is a former winner of the fa-mous Daytona 200 race. He has spent fi ve years in the MotoGP paddock and three in the highly competitive American AMA series. Th e 13 round Supersport World Champion-ship starts in Australia on February 28 and ends in France on October 3.

Well, here I am again staring out my of-fi ce window at trees as barren as can be. Not a leaf, fl ower or fresh blade

of grass in sight. It’s 4:40 in the afternoon, and if you were to head out you would need your headlight, that’s for sure. It’s time for the cold, dark and gray days of winter in the Pacifi c Northwest. No wonder people lock themselves into a light room and don’t come out. But, just like last year at this time, I was warning you to get your bike ready because Spring is just two months away. Soon, we’ll be tuning up our bikes, and… uh… oh the heck with it; it’s cold and crappy outside… PERIOD!

However, there is lots of good fun to be had with your motorcycling friends in Feb-ruary at our annual RAT dinner. Th is year it will be on February 13th at the Monarch Hotel in Clackamas. Be there at 7PM for the start with a “no host” cocktail mixer, then dinner to be served at 7:30. Our annu-al awards presentation should be underway sometime between 8:30 and 9PM. For those of you that still own your Triumph that you purchased new at Cascade Moto Classics, Inc., your attendance is free! If you would like to bring a guest, it is just $30 this year. For those of you that would like to stay and party the night away, the Monarch has given us a special overnight rate of $109 if you mention “Cascade Moto Classics” when you make your reservation. Staying over is ALWAYS a good idea if you plan on tak-ing on a wee bit o’ the grape! Th e deadline for reserving your spot is February 6th, so be sure and call CMC at 503-574-3353 to make your reservations. It promises to be

a fun night and a great way to forget about the weather outside.

Th is month I have been thinking about our club and some of the events we do. While we always have a great time, the one thing that is a bit lacking is our involve-ment in charities. While I have not sudden-ly decided we should all step up and start making donations as a club, I was remem-bering something I used to do in Califor-nia that was a fun charity that we did as a group. We called it, “Th e Pancake Breakfast Ride”. Every year we all rode about 85 miles to a small town in the mountains where they would have an annual pancake break-fast to raise money for the high school football team. It was in a little town called “Rough and Ready” and at that time, I think the whole town was about 300 people. So, 30 or 40 motorcycles showing up to take part made a big splash! It was a great ride, good food, and helped out a small town. As you can imagine, the people putting on the event were always really excited to see us show up. So, if one of you out there knows of an event like this, a pancake breakfast, spaghetti feed or some such thing, let me know. It’s a lot of fun to take 40 bikes to a small event. Th e people are all full of ques-tions and it makes a really good impression. A little good will from the biking commu-nity is always a good idea!

OK group, I hope you are tolerating win-ter better than I am this year. Keep your heads up, and if you do ride………..

January 2nd RAT BreakfastEggs, Bacon, Pancakes and RATs

At precisely 9:00AM, Saturday the 2nd, many people were probably still slumbering in their beds trying to catch a little extra sleep to make up for their lack of quality nap-time the days before, what with all the revelry, football games, visiting family and holiday trips.

Less enthusiastic motorcycle clubs might cancel a meeting that falls on the New Year weekend thinking no one would show up. Ah, but not the RATs. Not our club. We can always count on an enthusiastic group of members to attend the monthly breakfast gathering, re-

gardless of weather or date. As expected, a loyal group of 19 members hauled themselves from their beds and showed up at the Pepper-mill Restaurant for an hour of good food, good friends and lots of talk about the upcoming rid-ing season.

Our next monthly breakfast meeting will be February 6th. Two wheels or four, come on out to the Peppermill restaurant and join us. It is always a good time and an all-you-can-eat buf-fet breakfast. Details are on the calendar of events and on our website: www.rat-pack.com

Will AmmuttShort Circuit

Several years ago I was reading an article about the car culture in America. One of the more interesting points concerned the tran-

sition between horses and cars and just how diffi cult that was for some people. Th ere were some physical diffi culties, infrastructure (to quote one of the most over-used words in the 21st Century) not being the least of those. But, more relevant to me, there were some psycho-logical hurdles as well.

Imagine, if you will, the feeling of a man (sorry, a “person”) who has grown up with the

“technology” of horses. Th ere was a universal understanding of what horses could do and how they did it. Even with the invention of steam tractors in the late 1800’s the horse remained as the primary motive force on and around the ranch or farm. All of a sudden a new technology appeared on the landscape: the automobile (and the motorcycle). Th e leap from bicycles to mo-torized cycles was a quick one for many manu-facturers. Our favorite brand was one of the early pioneers. Originally a bicycle company, by 1902 Triumph had produced its fi rst motorcycle. By 1908 Ford’s Model T was rolling off the as-sembly line in the USA.

Skip ahead a hundred or so years to today. We are present at the dawn of another tech-nology shift, the eco-revolution, the age of the

“Greenies.” Much like the change from equine to piston power, the change from internal com-bustion engines to hybrid and electric motorcy-cles and cars represent a new disruption of the space-time continuum, as Dr. Emmett Brown might say.

Discussion of electric bikes is now common in both the enthusiast magazines and popu-lar media. Ashland, Oregon (which we know is really a California colony) is in the news with BRAMMO, a new electric motorcycle manufac-turer, and their bike: the Enertia. In a parody of the Big Th ree auto execs, two company employ-ees rode their bikes from Detroit to Washing-ton, D.C. Th eir objective was to give an electric motorcycle to Barack Obama. Yeah, and good luck with that one! Much to their disappoint-ment Barack didn’t actually meet with them so they chained an Enertia to a post in downtown D.C. and sent him the keys in an envelope. In

spite of his commitment to wean us all from the evils of carbon fuels, he must have been hav-ing too much fun with GM and Chrysler to take delivery personally. Depending on whose sum-mary you read, they had to re-charge the Ener-tia motorcycles somewhere between every 40 and 60 miles between the two cities. Reports of top speed also vary but it was clearly not as fast as their race bike. Race bike? Yep, in 2009 there was a demonstration race at the Isle of Man and a BRAMMO designed racer fi nished third in a race of 20 teams. It was the highest placing

“production” motorcycle. Weighing in at a mod-est 360 pounds, it was clocked at 102 MPH. Th is year there will be a race at Infi neon Raceway (Sears Point) for non-carbon motorcycles. If only we had mass transit to get to the track.

Another fi rm, this one from Santa Cruz, also has bikes for sale. Zero Motorcycles makes a dirt bike, a super-moto, and a dual sport. Th ey claim to be more technically whiz-bang than BRAMMO. Th ey, too, have trumpeted their per-formance with their claim to be the fi rst electric motorcycle to complete a 24-hour off road en-durance event. One of ten teams, they complet-ed 500 miles at an average speed of 27.49 MPH. Did they stop to recharge? Apparently not. Th ey changed batteries during the race.

Mission Motor Company (yet again in Cali-fornia, this time in San Francisco) has built a sport bike worthy of the name. Th eir Mission One Superbike is capable of 150 MPH and has a 150 mile range on Lithium-Ion batteries. Ohlin forks and an Ohlin monoshock set off a custom chassis that rides on Marchesini wheels. Th at’s pretty good range for an afternoon ride. Th ey plan to build only 10 signature models. You can put in your reservation now for small deposit of $5000 and pay the balance of the $69,000 fi nal price on delivery. For that kind of money you could increase your carbon emissions with six Daytona SE’s. But who’s counting?

I suspect that the switch to electric motor-cycles, however inevitable as it may seem, will be a long time coming. Chrysler recently backed out of its strategy to focus on electric cars, a promise they made as a part of their successful request for $70 million in grants for hybrid ve-hicles. Even so, the writing is on the wall. Street bikes like BRAMMO’s Enertia and the Zero DS are available for you right now. Notice I said

“for you.” As for me, I am like that cowboy faced with

the onslaught of the automobile – a paradigm shift at the beginning of a new century. Th at cowboy (cow person?) preferred the conveyance with which he was most comfortable. Me too. I’ll stay with the standard motorcycle. Inde-pendent of my position on climate change and the human infl uence on it, I happen to like my car, my truck and, most of all, Th e Big Twin. You could defi nitely say that I am not “green” with envy. Giddy-up. n

On The Road Again Northwest Vintage

Car & MotorcycleMuseum

Th e Northwest Vintage Car & Motorcycle Museum (NVCMM) is a volunteer owned and run non-profi t museum located just off I-5 near Brooks, Oregon (Exit 263). Th e Museum is fo-cused on presenting the heritage of automobiles and motorcycles. It is located on the property of the Antique Powerland where is is one of 14 other museums and heritage organizations op-erating in partnership.

Th e NVCMM has recently completed several major building projects on their property. Th e fi rst is a replica of a 1930’s Texaco Service Sta-tion. Th eir second project has been a major one: a large steel building for use as the museum’s main display area. Th e building itself is now complete and members are planning themes for the various car and motorcycle displays. Plans include areas for a replica motorcycle repair shop, motorcycle racing, a soda fountain, vin-tage motel courtyard and many more.

Members also recently completed build-ing an outdoor gazebo on their property and have planted trees in what will be a grassy area around the gazebo for use during summer events.

Th e museum’s schedule for 2010 is still in the works, but information on the museum, mem-bership and events can be found at:http://www.nwcarandcycle.org n

This year I shrank North America. After thirty fi ve thousand miles it seems much smaller. Th at includ-ed visiting forty nine US State Capitals and Wash-

ington DC. Plus, the seven geographi-cal points marked above and La Paz at tip of Baja California.

In 2008, I followed US Highway 20 from Newport, OR to Boston, MA (20-C2C) and the Trans-Canada from St Johns, Newfoundland to Victoria, BC (TCH-N2N). Trips in 2007 included

Highway 97, (2000 miles) from Weed, CA to Watson Lake, Yukon Territory.

It is so easy and hassle free riding around here in North America; fi ve hundred mile days the norm; only one small traffi c fi ne in fi ve years. Most annoying are the many tolls on the East coast where an M/C (two axles) pays the same as a large SUV/4x4 and causes a delay while I dismount and search for change. I will buy an Easy-Pass this year. Best highlights - overall 58+ mpg US (73 mpg UK) on long trips cruising at 75 mph and plentiful inex-

pensive motels away from the major tourist/business locales, mostly with WiFi. For 2010 I am planning routes to about forty fi ve US National Parks; free entry with my Golden Passport senior status.

My 2007 Triumph Sprint ST ABS has 90,906 miles. I will retire it at 100K and use my spare, an identi-cal but 0 miles 2008 Sprint. Only one breakdown in three years; one mile from home at 85K, caused by an inter-mittent connection in stator windings; no charging, no volts, no go. n

Watch Traction in Patchesof Loose Sand and GravelStreet Strategies By David L. Hough

But as you squeeze on the font brake, your tire suddenly loses traction and slides out. Before you even realize what’s happening, the bike slams over on its side, dumping you in an embarrassing heap in the middle of the road. As you attempt to pick up your bike, you realize that much of the asphalt surface at this intersection is covered in � ne loose gravel.

While you always need to observe the street signs, you also need to constantly monitor the road surface. � ose double yellow centerlines may not be faded paint; they could be covered by a layer of loose material. Changes in color or texture of the road surface are important clues that traction will probably change too. If you observe rougher-looking areas on the surface or realize that a light-er color is some loose gravel, you can brake earlier and more gently. You also can position your wheels in areas where car tires have pushed gravel aside. When braking in low-traction situations, it helps to squeeze the clutch before braking and to use both the front and rear brakes simutaneously.

It’s been a good day for exploring the country. The bike has been running great, and the weather is just right. You’re not in a hurry

today, so you just putter along in the center of the lane. You know that there are few traffic signs and signals, and that the local drivers often ignore them. So, when you notice the Cross-Traffic Does Not Stop note under the stop sign, you prepare for a complete stop well before the white line.

2nd Tech Session A Success

Saturday, January 9th was the second tech session held at Cascade Moto Classics, Inc. With a full house attending, Brant and Bill went over the basic maintenance of a Triumph motorcycle-oil changes, chassis lube, brakes, etc. Using a Bonneville America and a Street Triple, they covered both twins and triples. After the tech session was over, each technician was on hand to answer individual questions.

Th ese tech sessions seem to be well-received by owners and we are in the process of planning future sessions. Th ere will be a tire session on March 13th presented by an Avon Tire representative. So if you have any questions on tires, please plan on attending. Also, if you missed our fi rst two tech sessions on Basic Maintenance and would like us to hold another one, please call us at 503-574-3353 to be put on a list. As soon as we have 10 or more, we will schedule another one. n

So, what do you do when some-one you work with suddenly dies while playing video games? Never mind that you have only known him for the

first fifteen minutes of the movie: you try to ignore the reality of your responsibilities and take a road trip through Nevada. Never mind that you might lose your job and eventu-ally your bike.

Saturday, January 16th, twenty-six of us sat down and took a road trip in Roadside Prophets on the big TV screen at Cascade Moto Classics, Inc. We watched Joe Mosely (played by John Doe) and Sam, a teen with abandonment issues who had invit-ed himself along, (played by Adam Horovitz).

Along the way in search of El Do-rado (to dump the ashes of Dave,

who was electrocuted playing video games), Joe and Sam run across sev-eral Roadside Prophets that pass along existential bits of insight and advice. The roadside prophets in-clude Arlo Guthrie, Timothy Leary, David Carradine and Bill Cobbs. In their travel they also run across a John Cusak who plays an outlaw

“dine-n-dasher” who is being tracked down by an over enthusiastic sheriff.

Overall it was a fun movie and ev-eryone that attended seemed to have a good time while we escaped life for a couple of hours. Whatever you do, remember these words from Salva-dore (Timothy Leary), “Speed kills. Or worse... it makes you psychotic. People love it because it makes them feel like they’re in control of their destiny. What you wanna be on the look-out for is transcendent reality; seeing in and seeing out.” n
