The thought for this month’s Free Wheelin’ got its start atop the Hawks Nest – a curvaceous bit of roadway along the upper part of the Delaware River.
I was making my way south towards the Tri-State border, and I had pulled off to one of the wayside areas to take in the river view and
the sun as it began to slide ever westward towards the evening sunset.

Incredible Stop-Motion Chase Scenes Using Toy Hot-Wheel Cars
A home filmmaker has created incredible stop-motion miniature chase scenes using Hot-Wheels toy
cars.
Director and producer Paul Greer spent six months creating his first stop-motion film in 2013.
Stop-motion films are made by taking an image of a scene, before slightly changing the position of the models and snapping another image, which creates the sense of movement. In his first film, Paul built a custom camera rig and used an iPhone to record the
scenes.

Black Dog's Platform
Footpegs offer both the grip and real estate to ride standing all day long. Compared to the stock "toothpicks" offered by some manufacturers, Black
Dog's Platform Footpegs are remarkably comfortable. They also give you a lot greater control while standing—so much so that one
customer dubbed them as, "Like having power-steering for my bike!" The difference is truly amazing!

Evidence of humans donning helmets dates all the way back to 2300 B.C. Back then, helmets were mostly used for combat, but it didn’t take long before the pioneers of motorcycling recognized some sturdy headgear could also be handy in the event of a crash.
Generations later, motorcycle and helmet technology have advanced to levels beyond our
ancestors’ greatest aspirations. The evolution of our helmet laws and safety standards, however, has been a bit more complicated.
Motorcycling is far more than a mere form of getting from Point A to Point B. For many, riding is a way of life, representing a rich and vast subculture that’s slowly evolved over the last century or so. Just like with those passionate about watches or whiskey, there’s a special language utilized by bikers that includes a slew of phrases and terms that have been
developed over the years. And while one could legitimately fill a book with every piece of biker or motorcycle-related lingo, we’ve pored over the enormous array to highlight and explain many of the most commonly used moto-words in this guide to the 100 terms that motorcycle riders need to know.
Since we got these great pegs from Black Dog...Why not Stand on It!?
Well Jimmy Lee was hookin' 'round the far turn Of a funky southern Florida dirt track He had mud caked on his goggles And a screamin' 350 stacked up on his back Well as he passed
the stands, he was feelin' all tuckered out When through the roar of his engine he heard somebody shout "Stand on it, come on boy, stand on it" Stand on It – Bruce Springsteen
Pennsylvania isn’t anywhere near the “high seas” trafficked by legendary swashbuckling pirates, but what kid didn’t grow up with
dreams of finding mysterious maps and buried chests of gold? We probably won’t find a sunken Spanish galleon in the Allegheny River anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t hidden treasure out there to keep our childhood imaginations alive. In fact, there most certainly IS a such thing as lost treasure in PA.
