News Tidbits (August 25th, 2008)
Lehman Trikes the foremost builder of three wheeler kits has announced that it will be closing it’s Westlock, Alberta, Canada fiberglass facility. Lehman cited increasing fuel and transportation costs as the main factor for the closing. Even though revenues increased, profitability declined causing the decision to cease production there. Company shareholders will still get their dividends while the workers will get severance packages. No word of where Lehman will produce fiberglass parts was given.
Harley-Davidson
Has your 2008 FL model Harley been running sluggishly? Does it stall out? Won’t start? Well if you own one nearly 50,000 of the various 2008 FL models you’ll be getting a recall notice from H-D. It seems that the shell of the fuel filter on the bikes could crack causing the poor performance due to loss of fuel pressure. Hopefully you’ll get your filter replaced before you get stranded along the road somewhere.
Public Service Announcement
If you haven’t heard yet and who hasn’t because this gets more coverage than the war and gas prices. If you’re still using rabbit ears on your TV, come February you won’t be able to see those annoying announcements about TV going digital. Oh you will be able to still watch your Betamax and play your Pong. In my opinion, it’s too bad they couldn’t move it up so we wouldn’t have to watch all the political adds over the next few months.
Need Some Duds?
It seems some people don’t like the looks or price of the new Evel collection. What do expect when a designer gets involved? Look what happened to the price of jeans after the designers started sewing their logo on them. If you want a good looking shirt at a reasonable price then get some IronWorks swag! Go to www.ironworksmag.com, click on Official Apparel, then scroll down to whichever design fits your fancy and order it. My favorite is, can you imagine, the IronWorks Garage logo, just like at the top of this page.

I’ve been seeing those ads on TV for months now, but who really cares anymore. I’ve got cable. If I’ve got cable I know most people have had cable. I’m the last person to start a trend. Oh, and the Ironworks products are not bad.

Same here, cable with DVR and the sports package! I’ve been waiting for football season to arrive so I can break it in. I’ve been testing it out on the Olympics. Honestly, I don’t know how we use to do it when we had only 3 local channels on the rabbit ears.
