FLYING, ANYONE?
There are moments in even the most hardened V-twin rider’s life when he is confronted with non-motorized times: in yer tent, on the beach, in bed, in the finnish sauna – good for you when you have a good towel and some righteous reading matter with you. A book for example, which tells you how to fly: the knack is to throw yourself to the ground and miss. If you are reluctant to believe this, read it up in the mother of all guidebooks,
"The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams, – everything you need to know to travel in zero gravity conditions and with the speed of light.

Seconds before Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor.
Together, this dynamic pair began a journey through space aided by a galaxyful of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed, ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian (formerly Tricia McMillan), Zaphod’s girlfriend, whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; and Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he’s bought over the years.
Where are these pens? Why are we born? Why do we die? For all the answers, stick your thumb to the stars!

Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons? Time for a cup of tea! Join the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his uncommon comrades in arms in their desperate search for a place to eat, as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability.
Among Arthur’s motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a long-time friend and expert contributer to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who’s gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food speaks for itself (literally).
Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that The Hitchhiker’s Guide deleted the term “Future Perfect” from its pages, since it was discovered not to be!

The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky above their heads–so they plan to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only five individuals stand between the killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of total annihilation.
They are Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered space and time traveler who tries to learn how to fly by throwing himself at the ground and missing; Ford Prefect, his best friend, who decides to go insane to see if he likes it; Slartibartfast, the indomitable vice president of the Campaign for Real Time, who travels in a ship powered by irrational behavior; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-president of the galazy; and Trillian, the sexy space cadet who is torn between a persistent Thunder God and a very depressed Beeblebrox.
How will it all end? Will it end? Only this stalwart crew knows as they try to avert “universal” Armageddon and save life as we know it–and don’t know it!

Four good reasons, why you should have a towel with you at all times while travelling the galaxy:
Firstly it always reminds you of the galactic motto: DON’T PANIC!“
In wet condition it is secondly a great weapon for close combat.
Third: In a pinch you can suck vital nutrients from a towel that has been in use for three weeks, thus saving you from starvation.
Four: Three reasons are more than enough.
Five: The HHGG book and this towel tell them on every beach and at every biker bash that you’re a person of galactic format.

Let’s face it: riding an ancient piece of two wheeled agricultural machinery like we do on an everyday basis is all about risk management. There’s the risk of leaky carbs, parts vibrating off, throttle cables snapping, spines breaking. Not to mention the risk of battered eardrums, flat tyres, dead batteries, migrating toad, moose in the road or oil slicks behind the bend. The list is endless. If you can survive riding a Milwaukee tractor for any amount of time, you should be more than capable of judging the risk or non-risk of mind-opening nutritional supplements. This RoadKill roach clip will help the style conscious connoisseur enjoy his hand rolled back-garden sourced after dinner smoke down to the very last toke.

Good to know: The RoadKill roach clip saves valuable storage space in your saddle bags when screwed on to the tire valves. It is compatible with most filler valves found on your favourite rides. Show your social skills by dropping this part onto your ride, more so if you put in on both wheels. Technically this is no problem and won’t imperil your license. Usage on four wheeled vehicles is also highly recommended.

These little mascots were popular accessories in the Fifties among bikers as well as in the Hot Rod scene. The Factory offered them in the official accessory catalog where you could choose from lions, jumping horses or greyhounds, i.e. rather nice and innocent motifs. However, there are nastier versions, too. One of those is the "Cock-a-snoot" devil, which is a little Lucifer which thumbs his nose at someone. Needles to say, this was the preferred mascot on Hot Rod bumpers and Bobber fenders, because it perfectly demonstrated the owners feelings about his competitor and his mill, especially after he had just outraced him. The mascot offered here is a detailed and accurate reproduction after a pattern originating from these glorious days. Made from pewter and highly polished, with 3/8”-16 mounting thread.

You missed out the Sturgis Rally and the Daytona Races in the 1950’s? That’s bad luck, but here is your chance to buy accurate reproductions of the then popular souvenirs with designs created by Landström. The cast aluminum license plate toppers are hand-painted and install in minutes. Another detail from W&W which will make your classic ride or Bobber stand out in the crowd.

An almost mandatory accessory for bikers. The W&W snap closure Tri-Fold Wallet is hand-made by Gilla in Würzburg, Germany from tough genuine cowhide.

Remember the times when sex was safe and motorcycles were dangerous! Today more and more politics and other anxious fellow citizens love to see us living a biker life in safety and invent great devices to support us in it. After homologated helmets, reflectors, and protectors it´s now - honk, honk! - safety vests. What a wonderful thing to have when you are stranded at the roadside. You just put it on and you instantly feel a lot better and safer. These vests are so great that some EU countries already made them mandatory to carry, so make sure you have one with you when you visit them. W&W took the opportunity to create its own version with a calming imprint on the back together with a hint to an excellent source for spare parts that might be needed. You can´t be overlooked with one of these. Easy on-off with front velcro closure. One size fits all.
