s d n a H o These Tw
It’s 78 degrees in mid February as I write this and I’m looking forward to riding this year more than ever, because something is going to be different this year. You see, all of my friends I ride with have built their bikes themselves. And this year I’ll be able to do the same. There is an extraordinary feeling that comes along with tooling down the road on a sled you put together yourself. Don’t get me wrong, a factory bike is no less fun or fulfilling than any other. But there is a sense of pride and accomplishment felt when you’re wrapped around a bike that you molded into shape, one that came to life from your ideas and hard work. I’ve only been riding since 2006, before then I had never thrown my leg over a bike in my life other than to sit on it and dream. I had always wanted to ride, but circumstances didn’t allow it. And by that I mostly mean MONEY. In 2006 I had the financial ability to purchase a bike. I looked for a few months and couldn’t find anything I wanted. Nothing really spoke to me, and then one day at work I saw an ad for Flyrite motorcycles and I knew immediately that this bike was what I’d been searching for. So I acquired a loan, got on Flyrite’s website and ordered it. Six months later I got a phone call. The man on the other end said your bike is done! I made plans for delivery and waited anxiously. A week later the bike arrived from Texas via tractor trailer. I met the truck driver at a Shop and Save parking lot near my home. I pulled up with my trailer in tow and backed it up behind the semi. The driver rolled my bike out into the morning sunlight and down the ramp. We then strapped it down on my trailer. As we were securing it, the truck driver asked me why I didn’t just ride it home. I halfheartedly replied to him that I had never rode a bike before and didn’t have a license. With that, he turned his head toward the bike and gave it a good looking over. He looked back at me and said with a smile, “So you chose a hard tail Springer for your first bike huh? I took and deep breath and with a big dorky grin said “YES...YES I DID! The truck driver laughed all the way back to his truck and as he pulled away he yelled from his window “GOOD LUCK MAN! all the while shaking his head and still laughing. Two days later I had passed my riding tests and I was off! I did pretty good and rode as much as time would allow. But after a few years I felt something was missing. My friends and I would all gather at various places and the bikes would always draw the interest of several onlookers. I’d hear all my friends talking with people about their bikes. They would go into great detail about the building process and elaborate on their favorite hand made parts. Inevitably someone would walk up to my bike and say something like “hey man, that’s a really nice bike. Did you build it yourself?” And I’d have to reply, “No I bought it” Uttering those four words felt as though I was spitting out copious amounts of dog shit every time I had to say them. I hated it!
One day I expressed how I felt to my best friend Ryan. He laughed, and in true form said “well then do something about it” Not really knowing what to say I just stood there like a stone foot rooster and said Um....OK. Like what? That was as far as the conversation went. Then, a short time later I got a call from Ryan. He asked me to come to his house and bring my trailer. He said he had an old 1975 XS 650 Yamaha he needed to get out of his garage. So I hooked up my trailer and headed his way. When I arrived Ryan was pushing the 650 out of his garage. The old bike had been there quit awhile. It was covered in dust, cobwebs and mud dobber’s nests. I said “where are we taking this thing?” To my surprise he replied with a grin “your house!” Huh? I said, with what I’m sure was a dumb ass look on my face. Yep! he said. It’s getting cut in half, its chop time! When did you decide to chop it I asked. And with a crooked smile he replied, I’m not going to chop it...YOU ARE! And I again said....Um....OK. So, before the watchful eye of Ryan I did about %80 of the work on that old 650. Ryan instructed me on what to do and I did it. If I had trouble he’d walk me through it. There were long days of work and a lot of fun for about 9 months. Then one summer day we fired it up and I was giddy like a school girl. I credit Ryan with giving me the confidence and knowledge I needed to tackle my next project. Without his “not so subtle” nudge I would never have built my Ironhead. As before with the 650, I did about %80 of the work on my Ironhead myself. But this time with no coaching. I definitely had help from my friends though. The help and advice came from Ryan, Darren from Liquid Illusions fame and my buddy Steve Owen. Darren tig welded a lot of the brackets and such that I had fabbed and he helped me streamline and design a few things so they flowed with the lines of the bike. He also showed me how to do my own prep work on the frame before he sprayed the skin on it. Steve would drop by a lot near the final stages of the build and was always excited to help. He solved a few problems I had and timed and tuned the motor showing me what he was doing along the way. He was there the day it first fired up and was a great help. So this summer when I’m asked “Hey man did you build that yourself?” I can say YES! And I can say it with no dog poo aftertaste. I can say I did it with these two hands. Then I will point to Ryan. Darren and Steve and say....”and with these two hands, and these two hands, and these two hands. That’s what it’s all about, working together, riding together and making it happen. Thank you my friends for your knowledge and your helping hands. Gary. Comments and opinions are encouraged and can be sent to: Gary LaBrot at ft.soldier@fullthrottlemidwest.com

It’s already March holy shit well for those of you who have read this magazine and my articles might remember Jan. 2010 topic. (SAE) j2825 for those of you who don’t know what this means or you didn’t read my article in issue #52. This is a consistent way for all cities and states and counties to measure the exhaust sound pressure levels from your bikes exhaust. I wrote this on behalf of Alton’s bullshit law of each officer’s discretion to be able to detect sound levels with just their hearing it. Saying this I have to take a hearing test every year for my job and no one has the same hearing, so I ask you how is it legal to decide what’s loud, the point I’m trying to reach here is simple . The police dept. in Alton has absolutely no way of proving your bike is too loud, hence (SAE) j2825. I also said that if we allowed this and visited Alton we would help them bankroll their town. Well I don’t have the figures on how much was made, or how many tickets were issued. So I can’t verify what was gained or maybe lost with revenue to local business’s what I can say is if Alton truly wanted to do the public right they would have purchased the machine to measure exhaust sound pressure levels. Well it won’t be long and you probably won’t have to worry about it, you see the governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger just signed bill 435 into law. The new law requires that street bikes built on or after Jan.1 2013 to have an exhaust system label certifying that the motorcycle meets federal sound limits. Now I know there are a lot of folks going it’s about time. The new law also makes it a state crime to not have an E.P.A. exhaust system sound emissions label, it also covers aftermarket exhaust systems, and the labels must be easily read on the exhaust on the bike. Now the fines are set at $ 100.00 for first time offenders and up to $ 250.00 for repeat offenders and can even be thrown out of court if the problem is fixed but that’s at each judge’s discretion. I can’t help but laugh they already set the fines and its 2 years away. A lot can happen in 2 yrs especially in California, hell at least in Alton second offenders get there F&^%ing bikes taken away. And they are only doing this for your safety. Folks if you venture over to Alton, I’m going to say this for your safety make sure your bike is registered and you have insurance and you don’t get a DWI and make damn sure your exhaust is below the noise that an officer declares is to loud, but I can’t tell you what to loud is cause you see it can change day to day. With no true measurement device used it’s a crap shoot over there. I know it sounds like this is all about Alton but it’s not. You see I use Alton because it’s the closest town to us that is in my mind using illegal tactics to help the cities shortfall financially speaking of course. But what it’s really about is losing a little more grip to the government our nation’s politicians in both big and small government have broken the bank and they are all trying to get us to pay for their ignorance one way or another. I hope no one gets offended by this, remember these are my opinions only but I wish they were not mine at all. Well that’s it for this month REMEMBER KEEP THE SHINY SIDE UP AND THE RUBBER SIDE DOWN!!!!!!

Fundamentals N ow I could do another tech on another way to tape outsome flames. Or three different ways to use a piece of tape, before you throw it out. But I wanna talk about something way cooler than that stuff. I wanna talk about the misconceptions and importance of having your tank lined. I think there are a few people out there that think the tank liner is to hold the gas in and block any Cracks or pin holes. .
this’ is false
When you buy an aftermarket gas tank most of them unfortunately are made in an overseas factory by a cnc mig welding machine. So there’s a good chance there are small pin holes where the argon didn’t shield the weld and slag may have built up on the seams. if you’ve ever moved the filler hole on a gas tank chances are you need to do a pressure test and re weld a pin hole or two. Because if you don’t acid wash and pressure test the tank, After you have it painted gas can seep through the pin holes and bubble your paint in the weirdest spots. The reason for the dip in acid is to wash and clean out any slag or dirt in the welds inside the tank. Then Pressure tested and any holes are welded up so that it holds gas on its own. It’s a Good idea to have any aftermarket or custom made tank acid washed and pressure tested. Then it’s finally ready for the liner.
Oh yeah the liner.
So what’s all the fuss in a liner you say after going through all of that? The liner simply keeps the inside of the tank from rusting out from condensation and causing mad carb problems right in the middle of riding season. Who wants that? Right..well, in closing lining your tank is like having three layers of protection for your tank, carb and paint. This will only run you about $100 bucks. By having this donel; you’ll be happy and your bike Will too.

Four Aussies take their
65-year-old hand-change/ foot-clutch Harley-Davidsons on a 10,000-mile lap of
Australia. Words, main photos: HAMISH COOPER.
The old engine whirred along through the Outback heat, its slight mechanical clatter mixing with the sweet exhaust-note staccato that only a 1940s Harley-Davidson V-twin can make. A faint aroma of heavyweight mineral oil wafted up to the rider, who was settled in a comfortable slouch on his tractor-like seat. He looked over his shoulder to confirm the exact position of his fellow riders. Their presence was already apparent by the rising and falling of the exhaust resonance that occurs when motorcycles run in close formation. The sound was like a group of World War I biplanes, out on a mission. This was a mission, too. It was an attempt to ride a group of hand-change, foot-clutch Harleys on a six-week circuit of the continent of Australia. Seven days in, the rider, Peter McBride, was approaching an almost Zen-like state as he traversed the subtle changes of the lonely Outback. “I found the whole experience of riding across this area mind-boggling,” he said later. “Scenery-wise it was like travelling through the changing suburbs of a city except this was suburbs of nature. There were fields of rock, then fields of giant anthills. There were fields of low shrubs, then one of taller bushes and trees. “I found myself really getting into the spirit of the ride and my motorcycle. At one stage I reached a stage of concentration where I imagined how the oil was circulating through the engine and exactly what was going on down there mechanically to keep me mobile.” Peter McBride was riding across Australia’s far north “gulf country” with fellow vintage Harley enthusiasts Tony Blain, Bill Brice and Bill MacNamara. With around 1500 miles gone, they had another 8500 miles and five weeks to go. Tony Blain and Bill Brice had cooked up the idea after years of adventures on handchange Harleys, including taking a group of 22 racers from Australia to Daytona to campaign their flathead WLAs on the high-speed banking. After two years of planning the four adventurers rode across Sydney’s iconic Harbour Bridge on an early spring day and headed north. “The nerves hit me as we rode over the Harbour Bridge,” said Tony Blain later. “As I tapped into third gear I was sure I heard an engine noise. Am I going to have to battle this paranoia for the next 45 days?” Heavy rain lashed the little group as it negotiated its way through the notorious eastern seaboard traffic to Brisbane. It intensified as they headed up to Cairns in the far north. “It seemed we were racing nature,” said Peter McBride. “Behind us the main roads were being closed by floodwaters. One day I was standing by my bike refueling it when I noticed water pouring off my coat and drowning the ignition coil.” Everyone from European backpackers on tour buses to Australian grey nomads in campervans have done a lap of Australia. Most consider that the real Australian adventure starts when you head west over the Atherton Tablelands from Cairns into the savannah gulf country to Darwin. “It was great to be out of the humidity of Cairns,” said Bill MacNamara, “although we had to get into another process of starting early to get miles under our wheels before the dry heat struck. Believe me, it got hot alright. “The little bikes were amazing. We’d clock up big miles on them each day then check everything from the spokes to the regulator (it can overcharge the battery on a WLA) but they just kept going. We had some fuel vaporizing issues in the extreme heat, just as we’d had some water in the fuel previously, but that was it.” The same couldn’t be said of some of the modern technology. On the road into Darwin an iPhone failed and the hard-drive of one of the team’s laptops died. The next leg of the trip was a journey of contrasts. Heading south from the tropical green and humidity of Darwin the guys turned west at Katherine, travelling through the “red centre’s” pizza-oven heat to Kununurra, the irrigated food bowl of Western Australia. Then it was through more heat and loneliness to the quirky tourist paradise of Broome, once a chaotic frontier pearl diving town. “The days rolled one into another,” said Bill McNamara. “We’d be up at 5am packing, leave at 6am to avoid the heat and knock out 400km-650km a day at 80-90km/h. It got so hot that you couldn’t touch the oil tank (on a WLA the oil tank is part of the petrol tank). “I got really absorbed in the countryside. I’d always wanted to see a boab tree (locals call them the “upside-down” tree as their branches look like the roots of a tree torn out of the ground). We saw hundreds of them.” The small team headed south from Broome to Perth, another five days of riding covering around 1500 miles. “We were really motoring by now but we had a few struggles with severe headwinds and the heat,” said Bill Brice. “We were sitting at a lonely roadhouse in the pathetic shade of a tiny tree in the late afternoon. Someone came up and told us that it had cooled down to 44C so it must have been well into the 50s when we’d been riding. But these old dungers of WLAs were going beautifully.” The turn left from Perth back towards the eastern coast and home marked the beginning of the end of the trip. But as an indication of the vastness of Australia, the riders still had 15 days and 4000 miles to go. They rode along the southern coastal cliffs of the Great Australian Bight, the famous barren Nullarbor Plain, then the cropping flatlands of South Australia. After following the spectacular leafy curves of the Great Ocean Road to Victoria’s capital, Melbourne, they followed another coast road home to Sydney. “South of Perth we hit the bends and after weeks of straight roads initially it was hard to lean the bike over,” said Peter McBride. “It was great riding though the tall trees with branches that join overhead after spending so long in desert-like conditions.” After weeks of heat and dust the Nullarbor Plain was a different experience.

“How many people can say they got rained on crossing the Nullabor?” said Peter McBride. “We did. I had a bit of a moment when a road train passed me. I was off to the side of the tarmac and caught a divot as the truck’s wind blast hit me. It just blew me into the dirt. If this had happened earlier in the trip I would have been a goner but I felt so at one with the bike by now that instinct took over. I rode out of control in the dirt at 50mph towards a post then screwed it on to get back up to the road.” As the group reached Victoria and headed towards the Great Ocean Road, the pastoral countryside and plummeting cold of the southern spring brought home the reality that their trip was in its final stages. “As we hit Melbourne it felt like the trip was over,” said Bill MacNamara. “Riding over the Westgate Bridge, where you can look down over the Melbourne skyscrapers, was bumper-to-bumper traffic and I was already missing the long easy riding out in the country.” Eventually the group “turned the corner” of eastern Australia to follow the Pacific Ocean coast up to Sydney, past brilliant white beaches that range from small coves to 20km-long stretches of sand. But the guys had done this ride before and were battling the reality that their dream ride was ending. “I felt like it was the end of a dream,” said Bill Brice. “These days I get as much enjoyment in the workshop as I do riding but I love big trips and this had been a cracker. I hadn’t been in a car for six weeks. It was what it was like as a young fella, riding all the time.” “The really hard part was when we made it back to the start at the Sydney Harbour Bridge,” said Tony Blain. “We could have all fuelled up again and gone off on another lap. None of the bikes broke down and none of us felt like we needed to do anything to them to continue. They covered this 10,000-mile trip with ease.” It may seem surprising that the Harleys were unbreakable but they were designed for steady cruising at 55mph. These early models are largely unstressed in the engine department for reliability and over-engineered in the chassis and running gear for durability. All the bikes were unexpectedly comfortable to ride, largely due to the tractor-like seat, which supports the upper thighs. The riding position can be adjusted and the fact that the sprung seatpost moves under suspension means the rider’s lower torso and legs get constant movement, rather than being locked into one position. But there is a lot to think about when you arrive at a corner or intersection. They all have a foot-operated clutch, hand gear-change and a throttle with a non-return spring. It takes time to feel really comfortable on them. Tony Blane spoke of the vastness of the adventure: “On this trip we rode along all the oceans surrounding Australia (there are seven seas and oceans). For an easterner used to seeing the sun set over the Great Dividing Range, it’s quite an experience to see the sun set over the ocean night after night. They were long days but I’d do it again in a flash. It’s the smells of the Outback, the change in air pressure like you get sailing out on the ocean, you can only get these on a motorcycle.” Peter McBride had some words of encouragement for those considering doing a similar trip: “You think you’ve seen all Australia has to offer but there’s just so much left to do. Go around your own country first before anywhere else in the world.”
THE BIKES:
Tony Blain’s 1938 flathead Harley is the second year of the dry-sump 750cc flathead engine and is designated as a W model, with iron heads. H-D sales were suffering as a result of the Great Depression but a huge contract in World War II revitalised the company and it churned out hundreds of thousands of the WLA version , nicknamed the Walla in Australia. Tony bought his civilian model as an older restoration just a few months before the big trip. Amazingly, the WLA engine lasted until 1973 in the U.S., powering three-wheeler Servicars for milk and postal deliveries. Bill Brice’s WLA is in Army form, familiar to anyone who knows about World War II’s Pacific, North Africa or Europe campaigns. These models, designed for despatch riders, have alloy heads. Bill has clocked up huge miles on this bike as daily transport and a tourer over the past 30 years, including trips to Perth, South Australia and Queensland. Despite the high mileage his bike had its original, unrestored gearbox. The ancilliaries are good too, such as the generator. He’s only ever replaced the brushes in it. Billy MacNamara’s WLA is a refugee from the 1960s and ‘70s when they often ended up with metalflake purple peanut tanks and 24in apehangers. Built up from a basket case, at one stage Bill ran it with a supercharger pilfered off a Japanese car. He treated it to a total rebuild before the ride. Peter McBride’s 1946 Harley is in another league to the flathead WLAs. Called a Knucklehead because of the shape of its cylinder heads, it has modern overhead valves and displaces 1000cc but has an iron head and a lowly 6.5:1 compression ratio. Sometimes with H-D it seems they took two steps forward but one back. Largely original, it had not run for 35 years at one stage before Peter bought it.
THE BACKUP CREW:
Shaun Wilson, who runs the spares in Tony Blain’s Redfern Motor Parts business, which caters to these old Harleys, brought the shop van, which contained a small workshop, and a trailer. Bill Macnamara’s wife, Dianne, and the family dog Bella followed in another van.

THEIR BAAAAAAACK!! I’m talking bout the kick ass events at Big St. Charles Motor Sports.
Once again Big St Charles has teamed up with 105.7 The Point and The Calendar Girl Search has kicked off with a bang and if you attended last years search, then you know that Big St Charles does it like no other! Last year we had so much fun I didn’t see any way they could possibly improve on it, but after attending this years kick off, ill be damned if they didn’t! Where in the world they find these knock down beautiful girls I will never know. At least if Tracy has her way I wont! The winners from each months contest get $100 in cash, a professional photo shoot and a month in the Calendar, gift certificate to Hot Shots and other various prizes. The 2012 Grand Prize Winner however will win the all new 2012 CBR 250R along with a Shoei Helmet, Wiley X Sunglasses, Coretech Gloves, Icon Sport Jacket, Go Pro Camera, Hot Shots Gift Certificate, Cover of 2012 Calendar, Professional Photo shoot and other great prizes! The girls are not the only winners on this night either. Last years Calendar Girls are constantly throwing t-shirts, hats and other items from the stage. You can also enter in the wing eating contest that takes place center stage. Plus monthly sport bike competitions like Best Wheels, Best Neon Lights, Best Custom paint and other great competitions.

The Busa frame was mated with the sub frame and tail section of a Suzuki GSXR 1000, they added a 6 inch over 240 rear end to it, custom paint and a ton of LED lights. Performance up grades where simple and include a power commander K&N air filter and Brocks exhaust system. This is just the first project with new ideas already on the drawing board! “We want this to be the most exciting bike night every 1st Thursday of the month March through August“ says Terry MacCauley.

We strive to get young girls that will help us represent our brands throughout the year at all the events and locations that we go too. Like Ram’s tailgates, Boat and Auto shows, and on and on”.

Riley James has been writing songs since he could speak. At the age of 12, overcoming the adversity of an undeveloped left hand, he taught himself to play guitar and began putting music to these songs. After over a decade of playing in various punk rock and hardcore bands, in 2004 Riley returned to his roots and began playing country and folk music in the bars and cafes of St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City and every little Midwestern town in between. In 2006, Riley self-released his debut album Whiskey, Ramblin, and St. Louis Nights (James Whitlock, Homeset Studios), which contains songs of sorrow and redemption. Pat Wolfe of the KDHX show Interstate Radio described Riley as a “Young St. Louis singer/songwriter” who “sings with a voice worn by whiskey and late night wanderings”. In 2008, Riley’s music career took an unexpected break when he was sideswiped by an SUV while riding his motorcycle. After a month in the hospital, and 6 months of rehab for his brain injuries and facial reconstruction, Riley returned to his music with a renewed outlook. In 2009, Riley began working with Carl Nappa of The Shed (Nelly, David Bowie, Boston, Christina Aguilerra, New Kids on the Block etc.) to record his second album, the Devil Don’t Mind E.P. This album represented Riley’s darker side and dealt with subjects ranging from heart break to drug
addiction. Carl helped Riley to examine his music and look deeper within to perfect his voice and his sound. In late 2009, Riley added a rhythm section in the form of the Bad Men with Tyler Bicknesse on drums and Aaron Daugherty on Bass. At this point, Riley began LQFRUSRUDWLQJ RWKHU LQÀXHQFHV IURP KLV FKLOGKRRG LQWR KLV songwriting, beautifully blending pop of the 60’s, indie of the 90’s, and of course his folk and country foundation. ,Q ODWH 5LOH\ -DPHV WKH %DG 0HQ ¿QLVKHG recording their debut album Time Goes On, returning to the Homeset Studio of James Whitlock, who has had extensive experience capturing the true sound of Riley’s music. Looking ahead, 2011 will see the release of a split 7� record between Riley James & the Bad Men and Kevin Seconds (of 7 Seconds fame). This will be the debut album on James Whitlock’s newest venture, Our Future Looks Bleak Records. Along with plans for weekend shows around the Midwest, 2011 should prove to be a break out year for Riley James and his Bad Men. Riley James & The Bad Men will be one of many acts featured at this year’s Grease, Gears and Grooves on June 4th at the Soldier’s Memorial, downtown Saint Louis.

It is hard to believe that is has been a year since the passing of my father. Time seems to really fly by as we get older. On behalf of the whole Stephenson family we would like to thank everyone who attended the benefit for Pops a couple of years ago at Hessler’s Pub. Our family can’t put into words what that meant and still means to us, to have everyone show their support, and buy us the extra time that it did, fighting his battle with cancer. All of the proceeds helped further his treatment and we have finally paid off all of his funeral and medical expenses. On that note, we want to give special thanks to all of the sponsors, motorcycle clubs, and anyone who donated gifts or simply your time toward the cause. We, the Stephenson family, along with The Full Throttle Army, will be hosting a memorial in memory of “Bronco”. There will be no charge to attend this event. It will be held at the Ten Mile House (9420 Gravois- 314-638-9082) next to Rich’s Cycles. There will be live music by SOUTH SIDE 5 on April 2, 2011. Doors open at 7pm with 50/50 drawings and prize give-aways. We will also be accepting donations to try to get a headstone for Bronco’s final resting place. The band starts at 10pm. Hope to see you there. Peace and love to you and yours, -Stump24

BIKERS KNOW THAT CHARITY IS ALWAYS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE ECONOMY As we are all acutely aware it’s a tough economy for everyone however those who depend on the kindness and generosity of others feel the pinch even more. Although the SCC Tour wasn’t on the road very much from November to February we didn’t allow that to freeze over the spirit of bikers giving back to the community. During these frigid months SCC was fortunate to be involved in three charity events. Rider Now magazine asked us to participate in a food drive for a church in Ocala Florida. Val, the magazine editor, donated a bunch of food and we donated clothing and parts to be auctioned off as well as participating in a photo shoot that graced the cover of the magazine. The second charitable event was unplanned, two police officers were killed in St Petersburg Florida in January and when Johnny worked for the Department of Juvenile Justice years ago (who would have guessed that one) he worked closely with this department. The Full Throttle Bike Builders Invitational in Clearwater Florida turned into an informal fundraiser for those fallen officers and the biker community rallied on the spur of the moment to raise almost 70k! The third charity that caught our attention was for a one-year-old girl named Victoria with acute leukemia. My friend Aaron Blowout Morrow, the stereo typical big bad ass biker, and we mean big, took pledges for every pound he could lose, this just might cue cancer altogether, way to go Aaron. You can fin additional info at Victoriasvoyage.com. I guess the bottom line is no matter how tough the biker community may seem on the outside, we have a heart the size of a V-twin on the inside. It has been said about our culture that we are the first to support a good cause and the first to step up and protect our country. It’s 100% true. Even though times are tough and many of us can’t afford to donate monetarily we can give our time through volunteering, product donations or even weight loss, go figure, hey A+ for creativity. The weather is clearing; the sun is starting to shine on the open road and the 2011riding season is upon us. Come by and see us from March 4th to the 13th in Daytona at the Hang Dawg Saloon right across from the Iron Horse Saloon on US1. And for you guys planning your year in advance here are some other events we will be at so far: Thunder in the Hill Country, Bandera Texas, March 31- April 3 and the Carts, Bikers and Babes Rally, April 8-10, in Somerville Texas.

BROWN BAGpresents PROPAGANDA
THE HAIRLIPS
Straight out of Chicago, Illinois! The Hairlips! Heavily influenced by 50’s and MALT SHOP, ILLINOIS 60’s rock n roll, surf, doo wop, and of course the mighty Ramones, this group is bringing the feel of the 50’s and 60’s back to the pop punk scene with powerful songs that will be sure to make you stomp, shake, and twist the night away. Formed in the summer of 2010 by Eric Stutson and Johnny Wabich -- out of a small garage in Hanover Park, IL -- the two jumped ship on their former bands and decided to fuse their love for oldies and pop punk into something new. They cracked open a case of Goose Island Honkers Ale and began cranking out songs faster than they ever could have imagined. Soon after acquiring second guitarist Nick Sgarioto, the trio headed to the studio to knock out what would be the first five songs off their upcoming debut album. After some weeks of auditioning, they were introduced to drummer Ron Capiz and the band was complete. The group will be heading back to the studio shortly to finish the album -- a 2011 summer release -- and a tour is expected. Guys grab your gals and hold on to your hats, here come The Hairlips!

REGIONAL
NATIONAL
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA and lead singer, was part of the (later ruled illegal) involuntary recall of over 3,000 army troops to the war in Iraq. Upon his return to the US, Damon made friends with Chris “pretzel” Porter, and eventually the two joined with Noah Mackey and Matt Borges to form The Involuntarys. After consecutive local “Punk Rock Night” awards, (Best New Band and Best Album,) and whirlwind tour of the south, and playing with everyone from The Queers, The Cobra Skulls, and The Blacklist Royals, to former Man Show host Doug Stanhope, the group has grown a raucous following with their initial offering “Punk’s Dead We’re Next,” and followup release “Never Say Sober.” The Involuntarys’ songwriting style is hard and fast with catchy hooks and big sing along gang vocals, and they would be right at home next to The Street Dogs, Rancid, or The Bouncing Souls on any playlist.

INTERNATIONAL THE SMEARS
NOTTINGHAM, UNITED KINGDOM
The start of The Smears was fated, it was meant to be. 3 girls who didn’t know each other came together and decided they wanted to kick ass. M (vox& guitar) from Liverpool, met Miss C & C.Doll in Nottingham and that was the start of a beautiful, drunken, noisy, and totally rock & roll friendship. Basically born out of frustration, The Smears have taken their particular brand of grunge punk, GRUNK they like to call it, from squat parties in abandoned morgues in London through to sharing a main stage with The Buzzcocks as well as other punk heavyweights such and Discharge and the UK Subs. Being hit by a train driven by Iggy Pop and Courtney Love’ or ‘L7 being caught in a bar room brawl with Mudhoney are all comparisons that the girls are very proud of, and they are un ashamedly influenced by the heavyweights of punk and grunge. With national and international tours tucked under their delicious belts, The Smears are currently looking forward to unleashing their new songs on the world. Their next gig (at the moment) will be supporting The Dog Bones (ex Queen Adreena) at The Central Nottingham for BITCHSLAP Fanzine on April 9th but it’s best to check their myspace or search for Smear Campaign and join the army to get updates on gigs and merch, podcasts, photos and recordings. The girls are going into the studio in February to start recording for your aural pleasure and will be releasing singles this year. You can buy their current album Hell in High Heels, on limited edition pink vinyl or cd, through their myspace or Smears Campaign facebook.

A letter from the illinois editors WOW!
I knew we were going to be busy this year but DAMN! Yes, things are booming here and there never seems to be enough hours in the day to keep up with it all. Our efforts last year are paying off big this year and our advertising family has begun to grow by leaps and bounds. I have to apologize to our competitors cause I no longer have the time or space here to address their attacks. So, my final address to them here is “KEEP TALKIN SHIT, YOUR MAKIN US FAMOUS!! Last year bike nights popped up everywhere. It seemed like every day of the week someone someplace was having one. This year Tracy and I were batting around the idea of bringing back Full Throttle Fridays to Illinois but have decided against it. I know a lot of people were asking us for it and we very much appreciate your support. You guys are the best! There is however a FT Friday going on just across the river in South County. Elmo’s Bar is the place and I’ve never been there and not had a blast just on a regular night. Now throw a bike night there complete with the FT Army and you have one hell of a party! Find the ad within these pages for details and we will see you there! HOT SUMMER BIKE NIGHTS! Need I say more? Yes we will be back at The Pasta House in Fairview Hts Illinois and if you thought last year rocked, you just wait till April! Thunder Alley, Frieze HD, Chick Fritz, and FTM are back and we have one hell of a bike night planned for all of you. So come chill on the patio overlooking the Bike only parking, or stroll the vendor area. The countdown is on and we will see you in April for the kick-off! Find this Bike Night on Facebook! Last year we really missed our Wild Wednesdays at Shady Jacks. We have some pretty deep roots there and some very special memories. After all, I married Tracy there! So this year we will be back at the legendary Shady Jacks catching up with our good friends and on great times. It will be good to be HOME! And now for a brand new development! HOT SHOTS in O’Fallon Illinois has called on the Army and we are very proud to be a part of BIKINI BIKE NIGHTS every Tuesday night starting in April. Why call it Bikini Bike Nights? Well that’s easy! The Hot Shots Girls will be wearing Budweiser Bikinis all night! Sponsors include Budweiser and Monster Energy Drinks, with more to be added soon. Check out the ad in this issue for more details Man.. that’s 4 bike nights in a row. Looks like I’m gonna have to stock up on Ibuprofen and Alka-Seltzer. I told ya things were booming here!
Jerry and Tracy jerryandtracy@fullthrottlemidwest.com, www.jerryandtracy.shutterfly.com
Now last summer we rode down to southern Illinois with a dozen or so friends. We had so much fun we decided to do it again in the fall and put out an invitation on Facebook. What happened was simply amazing. Close to 30 bikes showed up to ride with us and we all had a ball. This year we will do it again bigger and better. The FTM Army friends ride with Jerry and Tracy 2011 will be one to remember for sure so watch here and on Facebook for details. We are taking this one to the next level! Last year Tracy and I were so busy we didn’t get to attend as many events as we normally would. We really missed running into you all and even with down time over the winter months we still couldn’t find enough time left in the day to get out to our favorite hang outs. Well Tracy graduates nursing school in May so we will be attending a lot more events and taking photos that will grace the pages of this magazine. So when you see us out and about, come up and say “Hi”. Your face just may end up in Full Throttle Midwest Magazine! Thank you ALL for your amazing support, kind words and praise. I hope you all know how much Tracy and I appreciate you all.

Have you ever been driving through a neighborhood or down a street and seen all those old garages wasting away behind someone’s house? You know the ones that don’t even look like they would have electricity. Have you ever wondered what’s going on in there? Could there be an old hot rod, knuckle, or panhead just sitting in there collecting dust? Is there an old man in there building a bird house? Or, is it just packed full of people forgotten memories? When we pulled up to “Kross Eyed Kustoms” garage, that’s exactly what gear started turning in our heads. Needless to say that this garage was very deceiving. This is a true bike building shop full of some bad ass bikes! A couple of buddies, Adam “Krakhouse” Krakosky and Jeremy “JJ Rich” Richey spend day and night in this place cutting, drilling, welding, grinding, and painting. Pretty much anything your average rider wouldn’t even dream of doing to his brand new Harley. From the massive collection of empty cases of PBR, I would say a lot of beers get drank here. “Isn’t that what this life style is all about? A few dudes cutting stuff apart and figuring out how to make it cooler while having some beers.” says JJ. Well, we just had to know how these dudes, in their mid 20’s, got this mentality. JJ started out taking auto body classes as soon as he got into high school. “I knew since I was a little kid I wanted to build and paint cool shit. I started painting my hot wheels with moms’ nail polish when I was 5. She was not too happy about that.” as he laughs, “look at me now.” After the years of watching “pops” and neighbors working on stuff day in and day out, he grew an even stronger taste for building. After high school he got a job powder coating for a year or so and then he was off to Wyotech in Laramie, WY. After getting that year of knowledge and experience under his belt he was off to bigger and better things. We found out this bike thing all started from him trading a guitar amp for his first bike. Two weeks later it was stripped, chopped, slammed, and painted. Since then bikes are about the only thing he builds anymore. The majority of his work now is pinstriping and painting and let me tell you, if you need some kick ass old school hand painted pinstripes to set off that new bike, old chopper, hot rod, or anything that you could ever want painted, you need to talk to JJ Rich. You will be very glad you did. Krakhouse is no stranger to bikes by no means. He started riding dirt bikes at age 11 and racing motocross at 12. After six years of moto-x it was time to hit the streets. So he got a sport bike and started stunt riding. He showed us some crazy pictures of him riding. A year or so later it was back to the track in the #501 stock car. If you can’t tell, this dude likes to go fast! After an expensive season of stock car racing he sold his car and got a sportster. He had a vision of the chopper he wanted to build. People told him he was crazy, ‘that will never work”, and flat out “that’s stupid!” Well after the years of watching his dad fabricate and work on his dirt bikes, he knew he could do it. Now those people are eating their words. Now people are constantly asking him how or what they should do to make their bike cooler. Between these two guys, you will definitely have a one of a kind bad ass bike. From the mildest customizing to a full blown chopped and hard tailed frame. These guys have got what it takes and more. These young fellas are honestly some of the coolest and straight up fearless dudes we’ve ever met. They don’t even think twice about hackin’ a brand new Harley frame in half and twisting it into a hard tailed balls to the wall chopper. We saw the bikes these guys have built and no doubt they are some of they are some of the most bitchin’ rides in this area. It just shows that it doesn’t take a t.v. show or a shop in southern California to start building cool stuff. These two just happened to meet at work and found out they both like bikes and Pabst. Needless to say, it was all downhill from there. Both of their families have became one big crazy cool family. All from just some friends, bikes, and beer to start what they call “Kross Eyed Kustoms.”

Many of you might now recognize a bike builder that has been featured and advertised in Full Throttle Magazine for a couple years. Black Sunshine Customs has been evolving and creating incredibly radical custom choppers for quite some time, however, it seems with every build he takes it to a new level and whips out some new twist and personal style to his fine details. The latest bike build is also a ‘77 shovelhead, 1 off chopper, with a frame created out of 1 inch tubing and a 2 inch gooseneck. If you’ve been paying attention to Black Sunshine Customs and their style, you probably already realize that Brian Elliott is a huge fan of the 4 speed kick only, foot clutch, and jockey shift... exactly what he put on this bike. No big surprise! Not only has Black Sunshine been building some radical bikes, he creates and designs Black Sunshine Customs parts for all of them. “No Cents”, the bike we just introduced to you, has one of the Black Sunshine Customs, made in house, super narrow front ends with a hand-pounded Black Sunshine aluminum gas tank and fender...just to name a few. Brian also did all the motor work in house. For the wheels and tires, he ran a 17” back rim with a street and trail tire and then a 21” on front with and old skool, 1980’s, NOS spool wheel. Not only is Brian hand machining a lot of his parts, he recently has gained CNC capabilities to start releasing more of his “Made in the USA” parts that are machined to perfection. Brian doesn’t like to brag, but he does have this knack for painting as well. He painted “No Cents” kandy green with metal flake, and then sent it down to our mutual buddy, Darren at Liquid Illusions, for some badass graphics to finish the job. We can sit here and write about all the fine details and incredible creativity and craftsmanship put into this machine, but nothing other than seeing it in person will actually do this bike justice. When “No Cents” was released to the eyes of the public, it instantly stood in a class of its own. It was taken on the 2010/2011 Easyrider Bike Tour for four months over the winter and put in the spotlight at 8 shows across the United States and was viewed by over 10,000 spectators per show. While on tour, the bike was photographed by the world reknowned photographer, Michael Lichtner. So, keep your eyes open for any newly published Black Sunshine Customs bike features. Be sure to watch for our next Black Sunshine Customs bike release. His current build is a ‘67 Ironhead. If “No Cents” has you lookin” twice, this sweet little number most definitely will too.

Hot Summer Bike Nights Start April 21st!
Russ was always a motorcycle enthusiast. He rode with the BIG BOYS and raced in his youth. One of his best stories was about racing for DOC’S H-D. After working on the race bike he decided to take it for a test ride down Olive St. It was night, there were no lights on the bike, and knowing Russ he cranked the throttle. The police couldn’t catch him but threatened Doc’s with arrest. Needless to say, Doc fessed up and Russ was ultimately arrested. In 1963 when Russ decided to open his own Harley dealership, he rented a truck and had $10,000.00 to make a trip to Milwaukee for his start up inventory. He continued working as a truck driver for two years. He drove for Red Arrow Freight at night and worked at his dealership during the day. In 1975 he married Jenny who started working for him to save paying another employee. There were 2 employees at the time, 3 in the summer. The dealership moved to Belleville in 1977 opened in 1978. Everything was fast forward from there on. They survived several economic downturns, a new Harley-Davidson Co formed (AMF sold the co.) introduction of the belt drive, the intro of the Evo engine, new models, etc.etc.etc. With determination and dedication Russ and Jenny Frieze met all these changes head on. In 1997 Russ was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. During his battle with cancer the dealership continued on with Jenny as the GM and Etta as Asst GM and Jenny’s right hand. Russ lost his battle with cancer in 2002. Jenny and Etta continued to manage the dealership with determination and dedication. Steve came on board during that time. Two grandchildren Olivia and Braden arrived. You can find one or all of the Frieze Family at the dealership daily. In 2006 Jenny took on Frieze’s greatest challenge. Jenny bought property in O’Fallon to be closer to a major interstate. Wow, she built a 35,000 sq ft eco friendly building, one of the only four H-D Dealership to register and construct a L.E.E.D.

Full Throttle M SAFETY ASYLU
w o N y l r a e l C e e I Can S
BY T.J. MILES
Ol’ Man Winter has been unusually harsh to our our roads this year. An abundance of snow and ice paired with removal has left us with some craters to try and avoid while riding. It would be more of a problem if my visual acuity was anything less than 20/20 or if my vision was impaired by less than adequate eye protection while riding. I found that there are a lot of motorcyclist that ride with impaired vision. There are usually three reasons. 1) They can’t or do not want to spend the $$$ to buy prescription eyewear (glasses or contacts). 2) They feel that the look of glasses is unattractive.
3) Their protective eyewear is less than adequate for motorcycle riding (regular sunglasses) in that it allows too much air in which causes blurred vision and allows debris to make contact with the eye. These reasons are easily remedied with a small amount of coin and effort. I found contact lenses are very cheap these days. They had no choice since Lasik surgery was invented. I found nice motorcycle eyewear with interchangeable lenses and a foam insert (closes the gap between the frame and face) dropped in price from $120 to $20. We cannot avoid a hazard unless we can see it and riding without corrected vision is nothing short of dangerous. You have only one pair of eyes and the threat of high-velocity projectiles taking aim on your face during a ride is a virtual guarantee. Even the most casual motorcycle rider has taken a bug, rock or some other object to the face, so it’s not a question of ”if” you get hit, it’s only a matter of how many times will you get hit and whether those hits go to the eye. The plain truth is; riding a motorcycle without proper eye protection will at a minimum; get you a 100% probability of catastrophic eye loss and perhaps even death through loss of control. Considering the probabilities against you and the repercussions of failing to protect the eyes, this subject of protective eyewear could arguably be considered of even higher importance than even the highly touted helmet, and most definitely places it on the list of critical essentials. Given the importance of the issue, let’s take a moment and examine protective eyewear. One of the first things a rider will want to consider is what form of protection they seek and what level of risk they are willing to accept. There are many options available here ranging from face shields, goggles and glasses, with each providing differing levels of protection. Many motorcycle helmets take on a dual role by providing not only head protection, but also employ partial visors or full-face shields for eye and face protection. These options provide the greatest level of safety and protection because they cover more of the face and eyes than do the other options. Though full-face shields offer the greatest overall level of protection to the eyes and face, this option is also the least flexible in terms of quickly and easily adjusting to variable lighting conditions. One of the most common ways to combat this issue is by using a clear all-purpose shield and wear tinted glasses. This allows the rider to change the eyeglasses without the hassle of trying to change out a shield. Goggles are another alternative that many riders use, and though goggles are predominantly worn by off-road riders, many street riders prefer them as well. The primary difference between off-road and street goggles is that street goggles generally possess somewhat smaller lens. The appeal in the use of goggles vs. visor or shield is that many goggles possess quick-change lenses enabling the user to adjust to a variety of lighting conditions. Another benefit to goggles is for riders wearing prescription eyeglasses that don’t want to wear a helmet-based shield or visor, whereby many goggles are specifically designed to accommodate prescription eyeglasses. The final form of eye protection is safety riding glasses. Riding glasses are typically differentiated form of safety glasses by the use of foam surrounding the eyepieces to reduce wind and close the gap between the eyewear and your face. When riding at 70 MPH, wind and debris has a funny way of getting into the smallest of cracks surrounding your eyewear. For durability, you will want to make certain you are using neoprene foam as opposed the garden variety lightweight foam. This type of foam will tend to breakdown quickly and you’ll be out purchasing another pair. Every motorcyclist not wearing a helmet with shield should have at least two pairs of goggles or motorcycle glasses: a pair with clear lenses for night riding (or riding in the rain) and a pair of dark lenses. Motorcycle goggles and glasses are made specifically for high speeds, they do not shutter easily and attach firmly to your head.

Lenses
Polarized lenses are highly recommended because they cut glare, reduce eyestrain, and give you a clean view of the road. You can find both clear and dark polarized lenses. Darker polarized lenses provide more protection from glare and the sun. Polarized lenses do not have coating, they are made of polycarbonate, a material that naturally blocks harmful UV rays. Transition lenses are good for both day and night riding. The darkness and lightness of the lens depends on the amount of sunlight it is exposed to; darker by day or on cloudy days and lighter at night. Transition lenses, however, do not get as dark as fully polarized lenses. Transition lenses are also made of weaker material than the polarized. Mirrored lenses have a protective coating (mirrored coating) that covers the outside of the lens. The lens is more breakable than the polarized polycarbonate lens and thus offers less eye protection. When buying your motorcycle goggles or glasses, you should also consider lens color and scratch resistance. Did you know that in low light conditions, like dusk and rain, yellow lenses improve vision? It’s best, for obvious reasons, that your lenses are also scratch resistant. Motorcycle goggles and riding glasses with a foam insert offer the most protection to your eyes. They keep the wind out and protect the area surrounding your eyes. When buying new motorcycle glasses, especially goggles or wraparounds, check if they have ventilation to prevent fogging.
Tips Fasten your eye protection tightly so it cannot be blown off. Make sure your eye protection is ventilated to allow air to pass through so it won’t fog. Tinted eye protection should not be worn at night. (Corey Hart) Regular eyeglasses and sunglasses are not made to protect riders, they can blow off when your head is turned and they will not prevent debris from entering your eye. If you wear Rx glasses, also use a face shield or goggles made to fit over Rx glasses. Use jeweler’s rouge lightly over scratched plastic lenses and it will take the scratches off. The type or style of eye protection you choose is far less important than making the simple choice of committing to protecting your eyes and being able to SEE (Search Evaluate Execute). You have to be able to see hazards to avoid them. Also, you have only one pair of eyes and you have to protect them. “I can see clearly now, the rain is gone I can see all obstacles in my way Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day.”

A Few Words From St. Clair Co. ABATE of Illinois
The year is barely up and running and in Illinois, the powers that wanna-be, already have two helmet bills floating around out there that need to be slapped down quick. It seems that just about the time one self-righteous, self-appointed safetynazi, jack-ass of a politician gets tired of having their head handed to him/her by ABATE, along comes somebody else trying to make a name for themselves. Like the punk wanna-be in the Old West, they hunt down the fast-gun in town and try to take him out, in this case, not by a six-gun but by forcing another restrictive law down private citizens throats, cutting down the freedoms of responsible, informed adults; basically becoming just another pain in the butt to those who feel that freedom is a necessity for an American and who think the constitution exists to provide protection for that. It never stops being a constant cause of wonder to me that these people can do this with a total lack of thought or concern as to the damage they do when they chip away at the basic tenets of what makes this country the great country it is…all actions based in liberty and free choice. Congresswoman Mary Flowers is the author of these two bills. One would require that a helmet, for those 26 years of age and younger, be worn when riding a motorcycle; the other, is a helmet requirement for all. Ms. Flowers – I, and those in ABATE, ask you: How does this make us safe from those in cars who turn left in front of us in traffic (this being the number one cause of death of motorcyclists)… WHERE IS YOUR OUTRAGE? How does this make us more free, as citizens of this state and country…depriving Americans of choices concerning basic freedom…as to these losses: WHERE IS YOUR OUTRAGE? How does this educate auto drivers to be aware of motorcyclists on the road? We are routinely run down, run over, crushed by cars, trucks and buses because the drivers won’t take the time, the
simple effort…to…just see us…not drive over us. WHERE IS YOUR OUTRAGE? How does it feel to pick on a minority and deprive them of their right to choose when engaging in a harmless, legal, and private activity? WHERE IS YOUR SHAME AS A FREEDOM LOVING AMERICAN (or don’t you care about minorities or freedom)? How would you feel if the government singled out you, your family, your friends because of certain traits you have, the way you look, certain life choices you have made and decide they, the government, knows what is better for you than you do yourself and regulate you nearly out of existence? THEN WE KNOW THERE WOULD BE OUTRAGE! If your concern is for motorcyclists’ safety by forcing them to wear helmets, where is your concern for those driving in cars with no helmets (head injuries are still one of the leading causes of death in auto accidents) – so, where is your bill for the law forcing auto drivers to wear helmets, forcing students in school buses to wear helmets, forcing blue-haired old ladies and the working poor on metro buses to wear helmets…helmets for those in trains & planes… WHAT AM I SEEING HERE: YOUR APATHY? Taking it to this ridiculous extreme: The number one cause of head injury in the home (and we all have a home) is falling in the shower…WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE? WHERE IS THE CONCERN? Why not sponsor a bill that requires helmets to be worn in the shower…YOU, Mary Flowers, could be the head of the powerful government agency that oversees shower safety-helmet quality control. You could appoint the head of the shower safety-police and get federal funding for
special road-blocks outside of bath and shower rooms to ensure compliance by singling out those in bathrobes heading to the house of plumbing with towel over their arm, non-skid flip-flops as proper foot-wear; to be certain they are wearing state approved head protection. You could be, single-handed, the next biggest threat to the 4th amendment…think of it: your name in the history books! Untold amounts of tax dollars could be in your control to form special training programs; set up so that those inspecting could differentiate between dedicated shower-goers and those just wanting to take a crap, and you could…oh, well… the list of possibilities for a liberal politician is endless. Mary, don’t scoff; it makes just as much sense as helmets in a car, on a bus, a train, a plane and even a motorcycle. BUT WAIT! It might just be that you and yours may be affected, your right to choose is infringed upon, your freedoms are trampled into the dirt… GASP!…YOU, Mary…even you, might even have to wear a helmet. Well, in that case by all means…never mind… just forget it…we wouldn’t want YOUR rights trampled on, now would we?.

Unique Rides
I sat down today to write this month’s article & was thoroughly disgusted at our weather situation. I had plans of attending 2 different events this month & one was rescheduled & the other canceled so, I started thinking about what to write & I was reviewing some of my photos & guess what popped in my head. No not that! Good idea though, maybe next time. I saw some of the unique rides that stood out during my travels this summer. You know you can have a nice paint job on a bike but, if you really want it noticed you have to use some creation, maybe even some fabricating. It’s kind of like seeing a good looking dude in a pair of tight jeans, leather vest, no shirt, nice tan & shades & near him is a guy in flip-flops, t-shirt, baggy shorts & snow white skin. I don’t have to tell you which one I prefer to look at, now do I? I know you dudes are thinking kind of in the manner of a chick in a crop top, Daisy Duke’s I got the picture but, who’s writing this anyway????? I love a really nice paint scheme that actually tells a story, or a creation with accessories can also be an attention getter & of course fabrications are considered a work of art & we all know why. Fabrications can take someone’s visions & bring them to life & I truly believe this is a God given talent. I can only send in a few photos so, I picked out the ones I thought were the most unique, I’m not by no means saying they are the best but, I hope you enjoy them. I hope by the time you are reading this the weather is beautiful & we are all on our rides. I’m really looking forward to another great year & seeing all of you in my travels. I enjoy talking to each & everyone of you. Watch out for all of the hazards winter has left on the highways & ride safe!
