Letter From The Editor

Carolinas.

Generally it is not too hot nor is it too cold, yet and the scenery is usually exhilarating. I believe Carolina riders are more than ready to get back to “normal”, even though there may always be an * beside events in 2020. This has been a strange year, I hope to cherish all the good things and discard the others. So, moving right along….

There is good news in the Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine Cruisin’ Calendar, starting with October 1, Dale’s Wheels Through Time Museum Opening Day, finally in Maggie Valley. Another noteworthy event is October 4 ABATE of SC Helmet Law Support Rally in Columbia. Be sure and mark your calendar for the Charlotte CBA Swap Meet and Bike Show, November 14 & 15 at the Rowan County Fairgrounds just to name a few. There are poker runs, benefit rides, open houses, Halloween parties, and even a few toy runs have made early appearances. Take your pick and enjoy some saddle time.

The Cruisin’ Calendar Continues On Page 6

Covid-19 Protest--Motorcycle Show & Swap Meet November 14-15, 2020 Sponsored by CBA-Charlotte Chapter, North Carolina elcome back my friends to the show that

never ends….well, except we just had to cancel the March show because of the damn Covid 19. That was the first time in 48 years that we had to cancel a show. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and support. We only had 3 or 4 vendors that wanted a refund. The rest of them said to roll their money over and they would see us all in November.

The November Show will be our CBA Fall Bike Show & Swap Meet & Covid-19 PROTEST! This show is always on or near Veterans Day. We will be recognizing our Vets on Saturday and Sunday with the playing of our National Anthem. On Sunday, we will be running a 2 for 1 admission from 10 am – 12 noon. Come on out and join us for a good time. Remember your money stays in North Carolina, not California, and is used to protect your biker lifestyle.

This ain’t a t-shirt show, folks.

It is a real swap meet and bike show put on by real bikers. Our members work hard to put on a good show for your enjoyment. If you’ve been to one of our shows, you know there will be a building full of beautiful show bikes to look at. There will be 2 buildings and a barn and a giant outdoor midway full of vendors. Come early if you want to find those antique parts you’ve been looking for. You can find something that you want or need…from a new set of tins, a new front end, tires, a rolling chassis, engines, transmissions, or a new complete motorcycle. You can find biker jewelry, leathers, boots, t-shirts. You name it, it will be there including food and beverage. Remember that Christmas won’t be too far behind so shop for Santa. There will be 2 bands playing all day for your listening pleasure. The bike show will have trophies and a $1,000 People’s Choice Award which will be awarded on Sunday afternoon. We will be open both days from 10am-6pm. Saturday admission is $15 for one day or $25 for the weekend. Sunday admission will be 2 for $15 from 10 am until 12 noon.

Please remember NO PETS will be admitted to our show!

We want to remind you that when you attend our show, or any CBA event across the State, all the money stays in North Carolina and is used to promote our sport and lifestyle and to be your eyes and voice in Raleigh and Washington, DC. We try to keep you informed of legislation that affects us as bikers. We talk to legislators and let them know how we feel.

We fight against some legislation and help introduce some favorable legislation, also. You need CBA and CBA needs you.

We need a united motorcycle organization to have more impact with the legislators. Remember, “United we stand….Divided we fall”. Join our/your organization now! We will be having a membership drive at our show. You can join Charlotte CBA for the low, low cost of $10.00 for a yearly membership or $20 for a year’s membership and an event t-shirt and help us represent you in Raleigh. (We can keep the cost down because of our Swap Meets.)

One of the things that CBA uses the money for, and that I am most proud of, is our MSAP…Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Program. This is where our CBA MSAP trained instructors, under the leadership of Keith Long, go into local high school driver’s education classes and make students aware of motorcyclists that they will be sharing the road with. Our Charlotte MSAP Instructors have taught over 60,800 students. Hopefully this will save some lives.

We also get Proclamations from the State and many cities across our State declaring “May Is Motorcycle Safety & Awareness Month in NC”.

Charlotte CBA has fun and goes on runs and to events as a group. If you would like to join us, we meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month at the Iron Thunder Saloon meeting room, Concord Mills. We will have a membership booth at the Swap Meet, also.

Come out to our show on November 14-15,2020 and support the CBA, our vendors, and our sponsors so that we can keep giving you the biggest, best, and oldest bike show and swap meet on the East Coast. For vendor information, contact me, Rick Nail, 704-577-1546 or go to CharlotteCBA.org and look under Swap Meet and Bike Show information.

Don’t forget the CBA Toy Run, December 6 starting at Bojangles Coliseum parking lot on East Independence Blvd.

Staging will begin at 11am with KSU at 1pm. The ride will go to Independence Harley- Davidson. Come on out and bring a new, unwrapped toy and help a child have a Merry Christmas!

Come on out to our Family Reunion and see your old friends and meet some new friends!

See ya November 14-15, 2020 at the Rowan County Fairgrounds, Exit 74 off I-85 North, 1560 Julian Road, Salisbury, NC. “RIDE SAFE & RIDE FREE” Rick

Ten Thousand Miles In Ten Days

By: Carl (KSolo DaRyder) Harris Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge 3rd Place Finisher.

en thousand miles in ten days.

You’d have to be insane with just that part alone.

Now add in no GPS, no electronic maps, sleeping outside next to your motorcycle, turn by turn instructions only provided at the next checkpoint, and all the while averaging 2-3 hours of sleep a night. Welcome to the most formidable motorcycle challenge in America, the prestigious HOKA HEY Motorcycle Endurance Challenge, founded by James G. Red Cloud in 2010, which is held every two years.

“Many hear the call, but only a few are chosen.” I heard the call and l accepted the challenge. Coming off of a spectacular 2019 riding season which took me to all fifty states, as well as Canada and Mexico, numerous Iron Butt Association certified long-distance rides, the Ultimate Coast to Coast ride from Key West, FL to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, and The Southern California

Motorcycle Association (SCMA) Four Corners Tour Ride.

The HOKA HEY Motorcycle Challenge was my sole focus for this year’s endurance ride. I started getting into shape in January and continued all the way up to August. I participated in the Mexico IBA, DiscoverMoto SS1000 Rally in Baja California Sur, Mexico in February, before the COVID-19 pandemic restricted the country and closed the borders. In June, l rode the SCMA’s True X riding 10,355 miles in 9 days, 18 hours, and 14 minutes as a train-up ride.

The 2020 HOKA HEY Motorcycle Endurance Challenge started on August 9th in Panama City Beach, Florida. At 0545, we received our first set of directions and were given a few brief minutes to look them over. At 0600, we were led out from Panama City Beach HarleyDavidson, 153 eager riders, some first-time riders and veteran riders alike. The journey

www.

FullThrottleMagazine.com

took me through Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and on to New Mexico, where l ended my first night of riding in Santa Teresa, Texas along Highway NM 9W sleeping under the stars on the ground just a few yards from a U.S. Customs and Border observation post. The challenge took us on to Arizona and through the beautiful but treacherous Apache National Forest, and Alpine, AZ where free-range cattle, deer, and elk were constant sightings and hazardous obstacles. I was challenged more at night during which I encountered a family of elk crossing the road in front of me and I ended up striking an elk calf. It shook my nerves for the remainder of the challenge and l dreaded riding at night for the next eight days.

On day two, we started receiving reports of riders involved in accidents and a compound of broken legs, bike wrecks, and the loss of my friend, Todd Moreland, in a fatal single vehicle wreck where he succumbed to his injuries. The HOKA HEY Motorcycle Endurance Challenge tested me mentally, physically, and emotionally because even though l lost a friend, l had to remain focused and continue on this journey, know-

13

ing we would not be celebrating at the finish line together, something we had talked about doing for over a year.

The journey took me through 28 states, three time zones, deserts, mountains, and flatlands. Through Arkansas, Missouri, Pennsylvania, New York, and down the north east, back into Tennessee, West Virginia, and Virginia, North Carolina on the US 421, “The Snake”, and Deals Gap. We crossed backwoods, secondary roads, and country roads with some of the most breathtaking scenery in America.

The HOKA HEY Motorcycle Endurance Challenge takes on a different meaning for each rider. For me it exposed my strength, my perseverance, and my commitment to be the best rider l can be. My journey didn’t go without missed turns, wrong calculations, and redirections. I completed the challenge, finishing in 3rd place. My motto is Aspire To Inspire. Ten thousand miles in ten days. HOKA HEY!!!

KSolo DaRyder Rider #990 would like to thank sponsors: Boneyard Harley-Davidson Winterville, NC, Dead Center Cycles, Lacey, Washington, Custom Dynamics Lighting, Jessica’s Philly’s Raleigh, NC, Bullitt Auto Wraps, Smithfield, NC, and MOTOJUG Hydration Systems.

HOG Happenin’ In Charlotte Story and photo by Alan Dockery ey y’all, the HOG Happenin still goes down thanks to a few local bikers who like to get together for a good time on a Saturday afternoon. Thanks to Brad “Rowdy” Beal and Sherrill and Shannon Baxter the name and spirit of the long-time event is still alive.

For 2020, HOG Happenin’ moved to the American Legion Post #380 in Charlotte on Tyvola Road, which is a great place for a biker party because it has acres of parking and shaded vendor spots. Associated with the local Outlaws MC chapter, you know bikers are welcome there and gonna have a good time. There was lots of room inside their building for folks who wanted to chill in there and listen to the band.

This year HOG Happenin’ proceeds went to benefit the local Bikers Against Child Abuse Chapter (B.A.C.A.), which is an international organization helping treat, protect and prevent folks from harming kids.

The afternoon was kinda lazy with folks hanging out in the shade and talking about motorcycles. HOG Happenin’ was an Old Timer Swap Meet, too with several folks laying out parts to sell. It was mostly old bike parts and some of the folks I know who will be at the AMCA Southern National Meet at

Denton this month were there. I hope someone took that Harley Flathead motor home and is building something cool from it. I still want all those gauges for my Shovelhead dresser.

How many of y’all took a few turns at the Axe Throwing Booth? I saw some stick it real clean close to the bullseye.

The Twisted Covenant MSC puts on bike games for y’all and had some to test and entertain folks that afternoon. Rowdy won the first event, Egg On A Spoon Ride. That’s a short drag

race with a spoon in your mouth holding an egg. Rowdy could ride slow, too and also won the slow ride.

Bear and Bashful rode slow and careful as they won the Balls On The Cone event. It took a couple passes, but Madison riding with Meep showed folks how to win the Weenie Bite.

Oh, Yeah, if there had been a “knock down the cones” contest during some of the games Rowdy would have won that.

With the proceeds going to B.A.C.A. I reckon I ought to give you the B.A.C.A. Mission Statement: Bikers Against Child Abuse, Inc. (B.A.C.A.) exists with the intent to create a safer environment for abused children. We

www.

FullThrottleMagazine.com

exist as a body of bikers to empower children to not feel afraid of the world in which they live. We stand ready to lend support to our wounded friends by involving them with an established, united organization. We work in conjunction with local and state officials who are already in place to protect children. We desire to send a clear message to all involved with the abused child that this child is part of our organization, and that we are prepared to lend our physical and emotional support to them by affiliation, and our physical presence. We stand at the ready to shield these children from further abuse. We do not condone the use of violence or physical force in any manner, however, if circumstances arise such that we are the only obstacle preventing a child from further abuse, we stand ready to be that obstacle.

Basically, it’s would you mess with bikers protecting kids?

Waynesville VFW Riders Bike Nights By: Pam Irvin

Covid-19 caused business to close in March and everything to be rescheduled, Waynesville VFW Riders did not let that stop them. They continued to have “Virtual Bike Nights” via FaceBook Live. Every Tuesday night, those of us stuck at home were able to tune in to entertainment, trivia, special guests and words of wisdom from Donna, Gena and other members of the VFW Riders. They continued to raise money for the veterans in the community even virtually.

Once the establishments were able to reopen, the first ‘in person bike night’ was a special one. The area Mission 22 representative was invited to attend. Mission 22 is a group that brings awareness to veteran’s suicide. The VFW Riders presented Mission 22 with a donation to the cause from the funds that had been taken up during the previous months.

If you are ever in the Waynesville area on a Tuesday night, pay a visit to VFW Post 5202 at 216 Miller Street, Wayneshen

ville, NC 28786 and donate to a good cause. There is always a 50/50 drawing, food, drinks, music, and games. It is definitely a good time for all. You do not have to be a member or a veteran to attend their bike nights, all are welcome.

When It Comes To Your Bike, Insurance Coverage Is Personal. It’s the difference between a phone call to an answering system when you need to make a claim and a one-to-one conversation with someone who cares about your bike as much as you do.

At Encore Insurance Advisors, we can help you find the coverage you need, from insurance on your accessories to roadside assistance, and our service is always personal, friendly and knowledgeable.

Before you take to the road, call Encore. We can protect your bike, and your assets, with the most competitive products available from the most reputable providers.

All Harley World Shootout Story and photos by Alan Dockery ’ve told y’all I dig old country drag strips. One of my favorites this year is 710 Dragway, Pembroke, NC. Paul Watson of Lumbee Racing holds the All Harley World Shootout there a couple times a year. It was threatening rain off and on the third weekend of August, but the bikes kept thundering down the eighth mile strip.

Paul has done the All Harley World Shootout for a couple years now and keeps tweaking that race and party at the dragstrip.

For the old bikers who miss a Saturday at the strip racing and having fun with your biker buddies, this is where you will smile seeing that folks still love bike drags. And you young guys who like to brag about all the cool hot rod parts on your Harley, bring it to 710 Dragway “Where respect is only 660 feet away” and you can see what she will do.

Don’t worry that you ain’t a racer. We will teach you what to do and help you get comfortable roaring down the strip. At every race I meet new folks who are making their first passes.

With a smile, they always say they will be back for more.

Paul puts on a great weekend party at the strip with races planned for Friday night, August 21st and Saturday August

www.

FullThrottleMagazine.com

22nd. Since Friday got rained out, Saturday was even bigger with all the races to run and those cool belts and stacks of cash to give away. When you go to one of Paul’s races, you gotta check out the new trophy – a boxing-style championship belt. Folks are really digging the belts as something new. They sure show off the belts at the track and back home.

Besides the race bikes, vendors, and lots of cool show quality rides at 710 Dragway, Paul had one of our local cut ups doing a wheelie show. Yeah, Dustin Chandler from over in the foothills where I hang out went down the dragstrip several times.

Dustin wasn’t after a quick ET slip. He was riding that 900 pound Road Glide from the Christmas Tree all the way past the finish line on the rear tire. For most of us just skipping a front tire as we bang gears is enough of a wheelie. But Dustin had that big Harley Bagger up at Twelve O’clock for hundreds of feet.

Paul is already planning next year’s races at 710 Dragway and maybe a few more events. He is partnering with some key folks in promoting and managing Harley drag races, so I look forward to some great events next year.

“For the fans of The All Harley World Shootout, once again, it was an outstanding race and event,” Paul said. “710 Dragway was rained out on Friday the 21st but the racers and fans made up for it on Saturday the 22nd. Packed house. Lots of winners, belts and cash given away. I want to, as always, thank the fans of Robeson County for their continued support. We work hard to support the community and local businesses and we appreciate the support we receive. Holiday Inn Express of Pembroke was packed and GM James Chavis and his staff were on point. Holiday Inn Express is one of our premium sponsors and James’ crew didn’t let us down.”

“I would like to thank the winners of each class. Jay Beasley and Bobby Hoover won the Nitro Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine belt and cash. This team is getting it dialed in. Team LSR with Walter, Preston, Jack, and Susan won the Nitro Law Tigers belt and cash. Comes natural for Team LSR.” “Pro ET was won by the Gunslinger himself Bill Rowe the owner of the All Harley Drag Racing Association. Bill hadn’t raced in two years and put the smackdown on those young guys. Draggin Bagger was won by Travis Groff. Way to rep your teammates in Lumbee Racing and Mad Monkey. Street ET was won by Jason Crisp. Another team mate. One bad dude with one bad bike. Bagger ET was won by Cranston Lowery and Ric Stamey. Cranston is one of the best riders in

19

Robeson County. The ET Grand Championship was won by Cranston Lowery and Ric Stamey. Trophy, belt, and cash.”

“I would like to thank the sponsors: Fort Bragg HD, RW Mason Roofing, AHDRA, Village Station, Holiday Inn Express, Law Tigers, Casey’s Tire and Automotive, 2nd Shift Cycles, Ricci Law Firm, Work Horse Air Hose, The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine, Mad Monkey Motorsports, GMS Racing Engines, Wood Cycles, StreetKing Motorsports, Cycleworks of Lumberton, Southernboy Baggers, Evil Twins Motorcycle Parts, RMJ Promotions, Tunes 2 Go Racing, Backyard Baggers, Carter Racing, Hawes Racing, Spevco, and Team LSR,” Paul concluded.

Twisted Covenant MSC Benefits Children’s Advocacy And Protection Center

By: Billy “Bulldog” Dagenhart

t the beginning of the year, who would have

thought that we would have been discussing so many cancellations for so many area fundraising events. This has put a lot of opportunities- to- be on hold for so many. Like everyone else, we had no idea how to get through it and still raise funds for our charity; Children’s Advocacy and Protection Center of Catawba County. A call was made to CAPC early on and we expressed our concerns to Adrienne that we would probably not be able to show support like we have done in the past, but that we would do what we could and give it our best. To tell you the truth, we were very skeptical of what the next few months would be and if we could honestly get the support in our mission to help CAPC

and the kids who need it so much. Well, how wrong we were.

Not only did we beat our expectations, we almost doubled them.

It never ceases to amaze me at the outpouring of support from all walks of life knowing where their donations would go. Everyone in this community from bikers to businesses jumped in and made it happen and especially the members of Twisted Covenant, who made sure they kept the drive going and sold tickets at record numbers.

We can’t thank you all enough for your contributions. At the check presentation, Adrienne spoke to the group and told us donations were down 66% for the year, so what is a better gift of $9285.00 from everyone to see that a child has a brighter future.

Hardstreet RYT-THERE Organizational Products Improve Your Riding Experience!

By: Lincoln Infield

“Must Haves” are a wide variety of items that make your riding experience better and recently I was introduced to some products that are now at the top of that list. The Hardstreet RYT-THERE Saddle Bag Shelf Set, Finisher Saddle Bag Liner and RYT-THERE Tour Pack Organizer, and my advice on these products is; GET ‘EM! A while back I had a good friend give me the ol’ “Hey you gotta see this” and he pointed out his newly installed Hardstreet RYT-THERE Saddle Bag Shelf Set and Finisher Saddle Bag Liner. Honestly, I was not ready to be impressed like I was.

Hardstreet founders, Brothers Glen (Brand Manager) and Ken Laivins (Design Director), came from a motorcycle plastics background that had them working closely with a lot of the industry’s top brands including KTM, Honda and Yamaha, making motocross bike body panels, fenders, shrouds. Basically, anything that was made out of plastic and bolted on to a motorcycle. “People didn’t realize that yes we we’re motocross guys, but ever since the very beginning we otorcycle

Ken & Glen Laivins With Product Developer Jerrod Huffman displaing the RYT-THERE Tour Pack Organizer always had V-Twins” Glen said. So, When they got a chance to do something with the V-Twins, around 2006, they started a company call Hardstreet doing hard luggage for V-Twins.

Producing items for Victory motorcycles, OEM products for the Yamaha Star line of motorcycles and products that would fit on the Harley-Davidson motorcycles. “We did farings, chin spoilers, we did hard plastic components on the Yamahas” Ken explained.

Recently they moved the company from Ohio to North Carolina and restructured HardStreet with a new plan. Glen said, “We had the idea of making organizers and lining the Tour-Pak and saddlebags, doing something totally different”.

They brought in motorcycle enthusiast and executive at FOX Factory, Inc. Mario Galasso (manufacturer of shocks for motorcycles and other on and off road vehicles), and Dave Pooler, who has three decades of accessory product management with Yamaha as business partners. The product that this team came up with is really awesome. Anyone with hard bags on their bike has spent time digging around in them looking for something like their keys, a piece of gum, wallet, or their phone the HardStreet organization accessories fix all of that. These easy to install yourself products take no tools and make no permanent alterations to your saddlebags or Tour-Pak. What it will do is permanently change how accessible your personal effects are in your saddle bag.

The Finisher saddle bag liners are adhesive backed and mapped out to perfectly fit in your Harley or Indian Motorcycle hard saddle bags and chop/tour packs. They have easy to follow installation graphics on their packaging and online vid-

The Hardstreet RYT-THERE Saddle Bag Shelf

eos that help you install the saddlebag organizers in just minutes! The Finisher Saddle Bag Liners allow you to partition off sections of your hard bags and you can add an easy access RYT-THERE Saddle Bag Shelf quick and easy! The cool part is that if you need to store a larger item like your jacket or what not, the partitions and tray break down in seconds and store flat in the hard bags providing endless organizational options! Imagine having one handed access to your phone on an easy to reach padded shelf at the top of your saddle bag…

GAME CHANGER!! Ken came up with the idea to use a durable, impact resistant, soft material that is waterproof and will last the lifetime of your saddlebags. Even if you have to toss your wet gloves or jacket in the saddle bags the Hard Street Finisher Saddle Bag Liners won’t mildew or discolor!

The guys at Hardstreet love motorcycles and believe the world was created for exploring and that there is no better way to find out what’s around

23

the corner or over the next rise than on two wheels.

Their mission is to improve the motorcycling experience by providing products that improve the comfort, convenience and organization of your motorcycle.

My suggestion is if you have hard bags on your Harley or Indian motorcycle you NEED to check out Hardstreet.com and pick up a RYT-THERE saddle bag shelf, Finisher Saddlebag Liner, RYT-THERE Tour-Pak Organizer or preferably all three, they provide FREE ground shipping. Wanna check ‘em out before you purchase? Most Harley-Davidson and Indian Dealerships in the Carolinas stock Hardstreet products or look for the Hardstreet setup at the next major rally that you attend. Make sure to tell em, you saw them in the Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine.

10th Annual Shriners Benefit By: Karen Hatchett

othing can stop us.

Not a Hurricane nor a Pandemic!! Even though we were unable to have a ride due to weather conditions, by afternoon, the sunshine came out bright upon all of us on August 29th, 2020.

In the past 10 years of holding this benefit, this is the first year to cancel the ride. However, even with obstacles, it just gets bigger and better each and every year. Double D Burnout Saloon has hosted this benefit for over 3 years. Many thanks to owners David and Missie Thompson for letting us take over the back yard and welcoming all. Daughters Niki Mickey and Kandi Bise made sure all had drinks in hand and did a fabulous job of taking care of everyone.

The day started out with a little rain, but by the time all vendors & band were set up and food was being prepared, we could not have asked for a better day. (Thank you, Ed Matthews, for being my personal weatherman and keeping us informed of the conditions) Even with someone calling and reporting us to law enforcement, this did not stop the show.

Guilford County Sheriff and Kernersville Police stopped by

to check out the situation. They confirmed we were in compliance and wished us much luck and success for our benefit.

One officer was even a Shriner himself. Thank you, all law enforcement, for protecting all citizens. We all pray each day for your safety. BACK THE BLUE! While “Crossroads Bank” rocked the stage, Butch Medders and his crew cooked up the best BBQ and chicken with all the fixings. Serving over 150 hungry attendees. Sam Miller generously gave back his $250 cash prize for the highest dice roll.

There were many raffle prizes and some great auction items.

The highest auction item (other than the trailer) was a beautiful Grandfather Clock, which brought in $1,300. Thank you to all who donated items for the auction and raffle. Your contributions are a big part of our success and raising funds.

This year, the BIG raffle prize was an enclosed 7X14 Tandem Trailer. Ticket sales exceeded $11,000. The winner, Dwayne Smith of Stokesdale, generously gave the trailer back for auction. And the bidding started. An additional $3,500 was raised by Jabbo and Connie Emory won the second auction bid of $3500.This gave me cold chills, because Connie’s late father was a Shriner and made many trips to the hospital, taking children for treatment. Special thank you to Kanawha Valley, Xtreme Wings-N-Things and Stoke Ridge Tavern for helping us sell tickets prior to the benefit. Also thank you to all the establishments for selling tickets; Double D Burnout Saloon, Springers, Xtreme Wings-N-Things, JR’s Corner Tavern, Baxter’s, Daffodils Boutique and Sophisticated Rubbish.

The Grand Total raised for the Children was an astounding

www.

FullThrottleMagazine.com

$23,315! This will provide 2 prosthetics and/or any other orthopedic care for children in need. We never imagined with all against us in 2020 that we could raise this amount. As I have said before, it takes a village and we have one hell of a tribe!

This benefit started in 2011 as a high school senior project by my son Blake Hall, who was a Shriners Patient for 18 years. The Shriners Hospitals for Children, in Greenville, SC

25

took care of Blake’s orthopedic and prosthetic needs. Blake was born with limb deficiencies, missing the fibula bone in his right leg and only 3 toes on the right foot and 3 fingers on left hand (2 fused together). His right leg would not have had normal growth. The Shriners Hospital in Greenville performed surgery so he could be fitted with a prosthetic and separated his fused finger. Blake learned to walk on his little prosthetic and to this day he is doing absolutely wonderful.

The Shriners Hospital for Children in Greenville, SC, provided prosthetics for Blake up until age 18, sometimes twice a year depending on his growth, at no cost to our family! Not only did the hospital staff help with his needs, they helped our family needs of dealing with having an amputee child.

Over the past 10 years and much support, we have raised over $82,000 for the children through this benefit! Shriners Hospitals for Children have 22 healthcare facilities in the United States, Mexico, and Canada that Specialize in Burn and Orthopedic Care for Children under the age of 18 at no cost. If you know a child in need, contact your local Shrine Club. The Shriners moto is “No Man Stands So Tall As When He Stoops To Help A Child�

Thank you to for all who participated, donated and volunteered. Stay tuned for the 11th Annual Shriners Benefit, scheduled to be held in August of 2021.

For Real Or Playing Games Satan loves when people are playing games. The one that doesn’t like you playing games is the Lord. You see a lot of Satan’s work going on in the world today. We set up at biker events and have the Bible and tracts on the table if anyone wants to take one, they can. Some do and some don’t.

Some people want to force religion on you, but to me that turns them off. Have you ever thought how you can witness to someone without preaching to them or trying to shove it down their throat? You don’t have to beat them up with the Bible.

Let’s say someone has a troubled life or lacks a religious foundation or has made bad choices. Whatever the issue, they’re missing the peace that God promises.

Their lives are like a crooked stick. Those who have that peace and whose lives aren’t troubled by bad choices, have a straight stick.

They don’t have to preach at them, they can just lay their straight stick next to the other person’s crooked stick.

This will preach the gospel at all times and when necessary, use words. Ever thought what you’re doing wrong in trying to witness to someone? Maybe you’re too pushy or trying too hard. Maybe you just need to back off and show them in your walk with the Lord.

We’re all way off from being perfect (at least I am), I sin

every day, and if you’re honest with yourself you do also. Sin is sin; whatever you do that is not pleasing to the Lord.

You know the time will come when you’ll need to call on the Lord for help, but will it be too late? Some people will never have a chance to call on the Lord.

Are you at that point? Are you tired of playing games and want something better? Do you want what God promises?

God’s promises are true today just like they were when He wrote them years ago.

In order to receive the promises of God you have to receive Him. Romans 13: 11-14. (11) And do this knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep, for now our salvation is nearer than we first believed. (12) The night is far spent; the day is at hand: therefore, let us cast off the works of darkness and let us put on the armor of light. (13) Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. (14) But put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provisions for the flesh, to fulfill its lust.

Your friends my talk about you and make fun of you, but just remember sooner or later everyone has to face the Lord Jesus Christ.

In His Wind, Ms. Pat

June Jam Rocks August ait, what?

Nah, you read that right, June Jam Rocked August. It’s 2020 stop trying to make sense of it! But let’s rewind a little bit to get a bearing on where we are going here. We all thought that 2020 was gonna be a rough go late in 2019 when the Easyrider Bike Show was “taking a year off”, then we heard that the SmokeOut was DOA after a 20 year run. Little did we know that would only be the tip of the iceberg. These circumstances also opened the door for the resurgence and rebirth of other old skool bike rallies, the June Jam being the leader of that push. After a 14-year hiatus and with the blessings of its originators, Garret Berger and Blue Line Entertainment brought the June Jam back to life and set it up to go off mid-June at the Rowan County Fair Grounds in Salisbury, NC. Now, we don’t really need to recap all the BS that we have been living through since mid-March, so let’s just say due to the “pandemic” restrictions that our “governor” put in place were not so inviting for the large time we as bikers are used to having. Garret and the June Jam weren’t just going to roll over though and after being put off in June, the new dates were set for August 22-23 and brought with it a come hell or high water attitude.

Well, neither hell or high water came and on August 22 the parking lot for the fairgrounds was full and the party was on!

I got there round noon and entertainment was in full effect.

The sound competition was bumping in a back and forth audio showdown that had a pileup of folks watching it all go down.

I was on the Full Throttle Magazine 73 Servi-Car and made a few laps around the fairgrounds to pass out some magazines and see all my vending friends before I parked it in the Bike Show area. I was hanging out with William aka Mr. Kat Daddy Cigar Company when I saw my buddy Randall ride by on his primo garage-built Shovelhead and I knew right then I was getting second place in the Antique class! I even ran into some new friends Mike and Courtney Horkey who won free tickets to the June Jam from The McGrath Law Firm at the Full Throttle Magazine 22nd Anniversary Bike Night. It was

good to hang out with yall! I rode over to the bike show area and got registered, but was lured away to the live music tent by the rocking sounds of the Low Down Dirty Heathens. It’s not often that I stumble onto a band I haven’t heard (and like) at these local rallies, but like I said, It’s 2020 man! It doesn’t have to make sense! Anyway, the Heathens were really laying it down and were a perfect fit to the rally atmosphere.

There were a lot of familiar faces there and I had a hell of a time getting around and visiting with everyone. I briefly saw bike builder extraordinaire Luke Heafner of Iron Horse Motorcycles. Luke always has a great swap meet set up with

I tell you this much. The June Jam may have gotten delayed, but Garrett and his team really came through in August and gave us a good time rally to come hang out at. On top of the good time the June Jam chose to give back as well. This year they helped Trooper Chris Wooten and his family. One year ago, Chris was injured in an on-duty crash while pursuing a fleeing motorist. Chris was paralyzed from the neck down and has a struggle few of us could ever imagine.

The June Jam was able to make a $1000 donation to Chris and his family. Thanks for your support June Jam! The plan is to come back at it full steam and have the rally on time in 2021. So, Keep your eyes on the Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine for the announcement of next year’s date. I only expect this rally to grow into one of the area’s biggest biker attractions. some quality parts for your old motorcycles and a few pieces for recent bikes as well. Inside the building, I ran into Wolf and his Sons Of Solders MRC. Shannon Rights and Tyler Styles of Tom McGrath’s Motorcycle Law Group had all the free swag you could carry and were signing folks up to win a FREE Moto Excursion. If you haven’t signed up for this free fall riding getaway to New England, then you are in danger of seriously missing out. I also spent some time hanging out with the crew from Jaybird’s Custom Cycles of Salisbury.

They were set up right by the entrance and had parts, apparel and some sweet bikes including a killer replica of Mickey Rourke’s bike from Harley- Davidson and the Marlboro Man. Keep your eyes peeled, you may even get to see that bike in an upcoming issue. Always good to see Jay, his shop sponsored the bikini contest that was up next on the schedule. There were a couple other vendors set up inside with patches, pins, stickers, oil, beer, and other biker essentials.

Back outside under the live entertainment tent the Emcee was getting the crowd worked up for the bikini contest, which in all reality is a pretty easy job! Just tell us there’s gonna be some honeys strutting the stage in bikinis and then let us have a look see! Since the crowd was gathered it made for a good time to hand out the bike show awards.

Then they brought out the bikini contestants. Five ladies paraded out on the stage together to get the crowd started up and then returned one by one to get some personal time with their fans. The lovely ladies were shakin’, dancin,’ and taking it all the way down to the ground. After the initial eliminations the pretty prancers took their final turns on the runway as the crowd voted for their favorite to win in the gentleman’s way, with dollar bills. The lady that earned the most took home top honors and a handful of cash! It’s tough to beat that type of excitement, but the evening went on with more music and people games out in the field as the sun went down.

Sunday the Jam went on with Mother Trucker taking over the music stage to keep everyone’s face rocked. The big news of the day was that Lt. Gov. Dan Forest was having a rally that afternoon at the June Jam. Dan was taking over one of the buildings on the Fairgrounds and supporters packed that place out!

Guardians Of The Children’s Awareness Ride By: Wally Wersching

Guardians of the Children (GOC) is to recognize and react to child abuse and educate the public to do the same; to serve as advocates to provide strength and stability to families in crisis; and be an answer to the prayer of an abused child or teen for courage, support, and protection. Their moto is: “Don’t Let Your Silence Drown Out Their Cries”. Child abuse is one of those issues that’s very difficult to talk about because it’s surrounded by guilt and shame but avoiding that issue doesn’t help the kids who need support.

GOC is not just one individual force fighting against child abuse. GOC is a brotherhood of motorcycle enthusiasts banded together for the same cause - our children. The association as bikers gives GOC unique qualifications to protect our children, and the ability to call on resources that might not generally be available to the public at large. Their mission is to send a clear message to all who would abuse children that they are prepared to protect these children through their physical and emotional support.

The Gastonia Chapter of GOC was chartered in November 2010 by a group of bikers who saw the need to assist and educate the community to the effects of child abuse. It is only one he mission of

of the many chapters throughout the USA, and Canada.

On Saturday, September 12th, they held their Child Abuse Prevention & Awareness Ride from Remedies Restaurant, Bar and Lounge on Union Road in Gastonia, NC. Registration started at 10:00am, and the first group was scheduled to leave

www.

FullThrottleMagazine.com

at 11:00am. Later there would be another group for those who arrived later with the last bike in before 4:00pm. There were five scheduled stops along the way to roll the dice. The first was at Remedies, the second was at Metrolina Motorsports in Kings Mountain, the third stop was R&B Pub House near York, SC, the fourth stop was at Friendly Billiards in Rock Hill, SC. Then the run ended back at Remedies in Gastonia with prizes for best and worst hand, a 50/50 drawing, raffle prizes, and food for the participants.

The weather was cool and threatening with showers in the area. I decided to drive rather than ride. I’ve been caught in showers enough in my life and am getting too old for me to be safe riding in the rain.

Even with the weather issue, there was a great turnout for the event. I arrived at about 10:00am and was surprised to see so many bikes parked in the Remedies lot.

After I placed a stack of the Carolinas’ Full Throttle magazines on the registration table, I gave my donation. Then I went outside to look for “Cuzz”. I knew that he’d be there because he’s the face of the Gastonia GOC. I was right; he was standing near a couple ladies when we saw each other.

After talking with “Cuzz” for a while, I went looking for “Red” – president of the Carolina Thunder. I learned that the Carolina Thunder was holding a breakfast fundraiser for the Gaston County Toy Run for Kids. I wish I had known; I would

31

have stopped there for breakfast before heading to Remedies.

While I was waiting for the run to start, I met many very friendly people; even a few US Navy veterans. It was fun talking about what we did while in the Navy – one never heard about destroyers. I had to tell him about my experiences on one. He was amazed because he was never on a ship while he was in the Navy. It was fun.

11:00am came and went and the run hadn’t left. At about 11:15, they called everybody for the pre-ride meeting and prayer. While we were praying, “Red” rode in. He had been putting the finishing touches on the fundraiser and got there as soon as he could.

After the prayer, the riders were getting ready for the ride. I talked with “Red” before he left.

I went across the street to take pictures as they left. Union Road is a four-lane in front of Remedies. They had to pull cars out to block traffic to let the run leave as a group.

I think that they hold this ride a couple times a year. I will watch their Facebook page to make sure that I won’t miss the next one. They stand for a great cause and we need more people to be against child abuse.

After they left, I headed home. On the way I encountered a few squalls. If I had been riding, I would have been soaked but probably been dry by the time I got home. There aren’t many things that dry wet clothes better than riding at 60 mph.

8th Annual Walkin’ Roll Fundraiser & Dice Run Story and photo by Alan Dockery Rain, rain, go away ... but you can’t keep Hickory bikers from getting out to play and raise money for a great local charity.

The morning started cloudy and misty at The Maniax RC clubhouse. By the next stop it was raining. Hey, Summer rain ain’t that bad so the riders pressed on.

Folks were laughing about being wet, “From balls to boots.”

Anywho, the turnout at the end for the 8th Annual Walkin’ Roll Fundraiser and Dice Run in Hickory, NC, was still good. About 350 people participated and raised $10,606.75 on a rainy day. I love my biker buddies for reasons like this.

Sherrill and Shannon Baxter, Duane Gibbs and a core group of friends have organized an event to raise money for the Walkin’ Roll Activities League, Inc, for eight years. They are a non-profit providing free activities for children and adults with developmental disabilities. This year’s ride brings the eight-year total to just shy of $150,000 raised.

“Our league is a league of abilities, not disabilities. Our purpose is to provide quality activities in a fun atmosphere and develop each player’s potential to the fullest,” said Director, Sharon Barlow.

The Walkin’ Roll Dice Run has a new ending point at the Crawdads Baseball Stadium. I expect The Crawdads will be a major partner for years.

At the stadium there were lots of fresh off the grill hamburgers and hot dogs, Carolina Style, with ice cold Pepsi, too.

Frosty adult beverages were available. A DJ: Richard Carle was cranking out a variety of tunes. Yes, you might have seen me doing The Wobble. There were door prizes and auctions.

www.

FullThrottleMagazine.com

The rain eventually quit early that afternoon and we moved to the parking lot to splash in puddles. The dune buggy guys and gals showed up with some cool buggies. They were a big hit giving rides around the parking lot. Motorheads were checking out the machines and asking questions. The local Shriners Gator Patrol was there giving rides, too. Kids and adults always came back smiling and wanting to ride again in another Gator or buggy.

Honest, I forgot my bathing suit, or I would have taken a turn in the Dunking Booth. A few local biker celebrities got in and got wet.

As the afternoon wound down, donations were auctioned off and the prizes awarded. High Roll was won by Kip Little and Kim Lowrance. Richard and Patsy James had the lowest score. Both winners donated their winnings back!

“Given today’s weather it took a lot of dedication to come out and ride today,” Sherrill said. “It rained all the way from the start to the stadium. In one storm it was like swimming on a motorsickle, but once you get that wet you keep going.”

“There are lots of folks to thank for making this year’s Walkin’ Roll happen,” Sherrill said. “Thanks to all the volunteers and riders who made the ride a success. Special thanks to our major sponsors, Mike Johnson Toyota, Hickory Crawdads (host), David Dellinger of The Maintenance Company, Rayburn Smith of Ray-Jerr Racing and the DICE Band, who rocked out the stadium! Also special thanks to Paulette Mojica, and as always, I greatly appreciate Lunnie Bollinger and the dune buggy drivers for being there. Special thanks

33

to Maniax RC and the Street Survivors. This year we were joined by Dennis Griggs and The Shriner Gator Patrol. Thanks guys and I hope to see y’all next year! All these people made a special effort to donate their time and money to help the folks who benefit from Walkin’ Roll activities.”

“I have a special thank you to Skip Moser and the Hickory Crawdads. I am blessed to have partnered with them to host this and our future Walkin’ Roll annual fundraisers and I am looking forward to working with them to make this fundraiser even more exciting. Who knows what’s next?”

“We made this year’s budget and all monies raised will pay for a year of activities. Thank you all, again. I am humbled by your support,” Sherrill said.

PGR Mission For Wayne Hebert

By: Wally Wersching n August 5th, I received an invitation to attend a PGR Mission for Wayne Hebert in Boiling Springs, SC on Saturday, August 8th. The name Wayne Hebert . rang a bell. I knew a Wayne Hebert . from PGR Missions a few years ago. He was always at the missions in South Carolina.

I remember that we talked a lot when we met at the missions and became friends. He tried to talk me into joining the American Legion Riders at his American Legion Post 200, which was located in Spartanburg at the time. As an Air Force veteran, he was very active in the Legion. He even had his Kawasaki motorcycle decked out like it was in the Air Force. Whenever there was a PGR Mission in South Carolina, I always looked for him. We had many pleasant conversations. That was about three years ago. I hadn’t seen him since then even though I looked for him at all the South Carolina PGR Missions.

After realizing who the PGR Mission was for, I had to go. I left home about 12:30 on August 8th heading south on I-85. I exited at Rte. 9, and went north, after a few miles Floyd’s Boiling Springs Chapel was on the left.

I arrived at the Chapel at about 1:15 – just in time for the briefing held by India Rackley – the ride captain. She explained that the flag line would be in shifts of twelve. There were well over 24 PGR members in attendance. She also encouraged us all to hydrate because it was very hot – about 95 degrees in the

shade. Luckily, the flag line was in the shade by the entrance of the chapel. The rest of us had to stand in the sun or find a little shade in the parking lot. No matter where we were, it was still hot.

One of the PGR Members in the flag line became dizzy from the heat and had to be helped into the truck with the A/C on full blast. He drank some cold water too – trying to get back to normal.

After my shift on the flag line, I went into the Chapel to sign the visitation book for Wayne’s family. While I was there, I saw Wayne’s vest hanging on display. Whenever I saw him, he was wearing that vest with a white shirt underneath. He always looked very professional during the PGR Missions.

The American Legion Post 200 was scheduled to give Wayne all the military honors he deserved after the visitation was over at about 4:00pm.

After I went back outside, it was time for my shift again on the flag line. I didn’t mind standing in the shade even though it was hot, the sun wasn’t baking me.

After another shift, it was time for me to head home. It was very hot, and my feet were bothering me, so I said my goodbyes and rode the long way home. I was glad that I could be there for Wayne. I knew that if the roles were reversed, he’d be there for me.

Springers Celebrates Jeff’s Birthday

By: Rose and Lloyd

2nd was the owner of Springer’s, Jeff Schmid’s birthday. It was a great celebration, with a packed house of friends and relatives.

Everyone was enjoying wishing Jeff Happy Birthday. There were pork shoulders, and lots of side dishes.

Plenty of cake for Jeff to blow out candles.

The crowd was happy and full of fun to celebrate. I’m not sure which year he was celebrating, but I know the crowd was in full force to honor a man, they all love and admire. It was such an honor to meet his family and see some old biker eptember

friends.

Jeff and his family have done so much for the community and others, it was great to see all the people to come out on his special day, and give appreciation back.

Now that Springers is open full time, stop by 405 Rocky Knoll Road in Greensboro and give a shout out to Jeff and all his great help, you may even run into an old friend.

Angels MC, Fayetteville Chapter; Team 81 ride in for the Robeson County Shrine Club Fundraiser. On Saturday, August 22nd, 2020, the Shrine Club’s fundraiser was hosted by Team 81, Fayetteville MC at Village Station Restaurant, The fundraiser was the product of conversations that took place at Village Station, 2744 N. Roberts Ave, Lumberton ells

N.C. In attendance at the local bike night, one Thursday evening Danial Silcose and Arnold West along with Team 81, discussed their interests and inherent obligation to serve the community. The decision was made to host an event, the Shriners were named, and the date was set!

As we all know, “Big Dan” passed on August 13th, during the days that followed, many respects were shown; The planned event was continued and carried out in support of all involved. In some ways, the fundraiser was also a memorial of sorts for the biker community. Dan took the community to heart. His efforts and planning with Team 81 made for a wonderful celebration and fundraiser for the Shrine Club of Robeson County.

Hells Angels MC, Fayetteville Chapter took the respected nod for the remembrance and memorial of their President and Brother, “Dirty Dan.” And just as he would have done, HAMC directed the attention back to the Shiners for their efforts, dedication and works as Nobel Sudan’s. Team 81 is all about unity and community; truly qualities we all need in our world, not just today but each day!

The Shriners of Robeson have a mission to help local families with transportation needs. They are devoted to helping the community through their works. The Shriners are known to step up to assist in challenging situations. This day they did so with the support of Team 81 Fayetteville and the biker community. Each person in attendance, was determined to meet the challenge and do their part to make the event a success!

The Shriners community is comprised of a group of people working towards a specific cause that is bigger than us all. The kind of goals we all aspire to be a part of. Reflective in one of the mottos of Arnold’s and Village Station, to Live A Great Story!

There were drawings, raffles, games, and most of all gifts of giving throughout the entire day. It was a great day for all that took part; a truly amazing day for the children that will benefit

from the donations and contributions given. Bikers always “ROCK” a charity and this day was no exception!

Shriners’ posts confirm over $3600.00 was raised! Transportation to and from the hospital will continue at no cost to children’s family. This day we were all able to understand and be a part of the passion and dedication of the local Shriners. We see the great works they do. They post of hashtags like #lovet otherescue#wedoitforthekids and those things were the focus of the fundraising event. You can learn more about Shriners at http://SudanShriners.com. All hands were on the throttle to support a united community where everyone is working for a greater purpose and cause. Today, we can all proudly say, mission accomplished!

The Robeson County Shrine Club is grateful to everyone that took part in each phase of the fundraiser from beginning to end. Special acknowledgments were extended in their post as, “Thanks Team 81 Fayetteville MC, Village Station, Arnolds, and Arnold West. Thanks for everything!! Also a shout out to Libby Britt Davis and Jernigan’s for the door prizes. It was an amazing day to give back to the community! Thank you all for your support!”

Ride In Peace – Code Blue By: Alan Dockery

ne of the coolest things about motor-

Photo compliments of Kickstand

cycling is meeting all kinds of people from every walk of life who enjoy motorcycles and hanging out with other folks who dig life on two wheels. You meet the coolest people on motorcycles.

There are way too many that you wish you could have spent more time with. Riders you barely know and only see once in a while at local events, but seldom really talk with. Close friends or family are sometimes gone too soon.

I think I first met Code Blue at a Harley drag race. He was a member of the Rare Breed MC and they had some race bikes. I was taking a short break from the starting line but had to ask about the name Code Blue. Gotta be a doctor. Sure enough he was a heart surgeon and a real good one. I told him my heart problems are electrical and not plumbing.

I meet so many of you bikers across the Carolinas who have great stories about your jobs and riding. Dr. William Penn Sweezer, Jr. is one biker I wish I had spent some time sitting and talking with. While reading obituaries and reports of his passing on medical websites I learned about his

life away from motorcycles. “Kickstand”, from Rare Breed MC, told me about the biker and man, “Code Blue”, who so many of y’all knew.

Code Blue’s obituary says he was really good at math and science from the time he was in elementary school in Saginaw, Michigan. It mentions his laboratory under the stairs and experiments and calling himself a “mad scientist.” So, the man was destined for the medical field. He was a Cub Scout and Boy Scout. Code Blue worked from a young age as a paperboy and pushing an ice cream cart. His family picked crops with the migrant workers.

The obituary details his schooling from Flint Northern High School to Michigan State University to Meharry Medical College. While completing his internship and residency at Baylor College of Medicine he married Arlene Rachal in 1981.

Over the years, Code Blue perfected his skills and got advanced training to become a talented and respected cardiovascular thoracic surgeon. He joined the faculty at Duke University Medical Center in Danville, VA. Code Blue was 70 years old when he passed in August, but he had 43 years of experience in the medical field and performed more than 15,000 vascular and abdominal surgeries.

Imagine how many people are alive and healthy today because of his skill and dedication. The hospital and medical news websites had lots of posts from other doctors praising him and telling how much he will be missed.

One of his brothers in the Rare Breed MC told me a little more about Code Blue.

“Kickstand” said, “I’ve known Code Blue for more than 10 years and he’s always been the same person,”. “Always been that person who is about solving problems.”

“There wasn’t much Code Blue wouldn’t do if he wanted to. He had a pilot’s license and was in the process of build-

www.

FullThrottleMagazine.com

ing a plane. Ain’t much I could have asked him about that he ain’t already done. I showed him a video of those giant trees in California. He showed me a picture of him standing in the middle of one that had been cut out.”

“As far as his character; Code Blue was a down to earth man. Anybody could talk to him and ask him a question. He gave medical advice to folks for free. And he would do anything in his power to help anyone out. It didn’t matter to him what race, creed or color you are. He was just a kindhearted man who would give you anything he had if you needed it. As the business manager in the club, he was the kind of guy who would step into any role he was needed,” Kickstand said.

“Code Blue lived his life how he wanted. There wasn’t anything that he didn’t do. Nothing that he didn’t achieve in his life. He lived a prosperous life. He cared about people. He made sure that everything he learned in his life he passed on to the younger generation.”

“He dedicated his life to helping solve other peoples’ problems and. would go out of his way to do so. From simple small issues to the most difficult. He will be missed by many,” Kickstand said.

Reunited

ow many times have you heard

someone talk about their first bike or any bike that they sold and now regret? Maybe you have said it yourself. But it’s a real thing. Maybe you were young and didn’t realize how cool that bike would be, maybe it’s just the nostalgia of your younger days. Whatever it may be, for most people those thoughts are as close to their old bike as they will ever get. This is NOT the case for Robert Inge, who in my opinion, is one of the luckiest guys around.

Robert bought a beautiful red and white 1984 Harley-Davidson Super Glide from an individual and rode that bike for a couple of years before selling the bike as his life went in a different direction. Fast forward a decade or two and like many other life stories, motorcycling came back into focus. As the story goes, Robert and Cecil Whitley have known and practiced law together off and on for more than 20 years and currently practice law at the Whitley, Jordan and Inge P.A in Salisbury, NC. While Robert and Cecil were at lunch almost 2 years ago, the subject of

motorcycles came up. In the course of the conversation Robert made mention that he regretted selling his first bike, the ’84 Super Glide. Cecil said that he “immediately changed the subject cause I knew I was going to try to find that thing for him”.

Cecil who may be one of the coolest, most thoughtful people EVER, decided to do something about it and the search was on to find Robert’s motorcycle.

After a bit of searching, they found the bike was still in possession of the fella Robert sold it to. How lucky is that? The bike had never left Salisbury and was pretty much the same as when it was last in Roberts possession. Cecil called on Jay Richardson of Jaybird’s Custom Cycles to help him pull the coolest surprise ever. Jay keeps Robert’s current Ultra Limited road worthy, so he got the job to bring the Super Glide home.

Jay recovered the Super Glide and took it to his shop on 5865 South Main St. in Salisbury, NC. The Super Glide hadn’t been ridden in a while and was stashed in the back of a garage just waiting on better times. Jay recalls that the bike was “under 6 inches of dirt and dust”. Being garaged kept while dormant also didn’t keep the varmints from mucking up a few things.

Jay had to completely replace the wiring harness on the iron head sled, replace the carb, wheel bearings, handlebar bushings, and even pull four foot of rats nest out of each pipe. “bout the only thing we didn’t touch was the engine and transmission” Jay says. Lastly, he sent off the tins to get freshened up back to their original luster.

Once Jay had the bike back to riding order, Cecil had a plan up his sleeve to surprise Rob with the bike. An office party was set up to celebrate an unrelated achievement by the law

office. The staff of the law firm, who were in on the deal, but sworn to secrecy were all wearing Jaybird Custom Cycle shirts. Robert was doing official lawyer stuff but took a break to come down to the catered party. Cecil, the office staff, Jay and the Jaybird’s Custom Cycle Crew and Robert’s wife were all waiting on Robert, who was unaware of the surprise he was about to receive. Cecil called for everyone’s attention, and gave a quick speech thanking Robert for his recent victories at the law office. As Cecil presented Robert with a Harley-Davidson coffee table book, Jay fired up the prodigal Shovelhead that had been stashed out of sight in Jay’s trailer and rode it over. The look on Roberts face was absolutely priceless when he turned around to see that that sweet rumble was coming from his old ’84 Super Glide. Robert’s wife, who was the only other person present that wasn’t in on the secret asked Robert if that was his first bike and with his hand over his forehead and a look of disbelief, he confirmed to his wife that it was in fact, his first motorcycle. It was quite a moment and there was

no way not to be caught up in the excitement.

Robert walked around the bike and pointed out a battery box emblem that he had put on the bike nearly 26 years ago. Cecil regained everyone’s attention to ask if we thought that Robert might need a bookmark for his new Harley-Davidson coffee table book. With that, Cecil produced the title to the ’84 shovelhead from his breast pocket and presented it to Robert.

Naturally Robert took the bike for a spin around the block before the staff posed for some photos. Jay jokingly told Robert, “You don’t know how many times you’ve walked past this bike at the shop”. There was even a story told that Jay had to scramble to cover the Shovel with a blanket when Rob showed up unexpectedly at Jaybird’s Custom Cycles.

Cecil remarked to answer about his motivation to make this miraculous reunion between man and machine that. “I don’t have a lot of money, everybody thinks lawyers have a lot of money. But I want to give all my gifts away while I’m alive so I can see them enjoy them. Rob and I have always been really close, he’s more like a son to me. This is a family up here and I have my family at home. My staff up here is like my daughters and granddaughters up here. I’d do about anything for him and I think he’d do the same for me. And the other thing was I wanted to reward him for some of the things he had done for the firm.”

Since being reunited, Robert has taken the Super Glide on some rides and rekindled some memories of riding that old Shovelhead as a younger man. Though he also said he has relied on the electric start and that he hasn’t tried to kickstart it.

Fort Bragg Harley-Davidson’s Remembrances In September

By: Chi

September began with a Labor Day weekend full of many good times.

The food and drinks, the DJ and raffles, tent sales and Harley-Davidson’s the spirit of the working man and woman is what the weekend was all about.

Those that get that grind each and every day, had a day off to come out and celebrate the holiday with the wonderful staff at Fort Bragg Harley- Davidson. The crowd was there, and they did not have to worry about cooking or even making a beer run; the staff made sure all was covered, and guests were top of their list, as usual!

Their events then shifted to honor those victims of 9/11. The 9 11 Infidels MC presented its 10thannual 9/11 Never Forget Run. Kick stands were up at 7 p.m. and they rode for those that were lost in the tragic 9/11 attacks.

The Islamist terrorist group Al-Qaeda planned a series of four coordinated terrorists’ acts against the United States on that morning; Tuesday, September 11, 2001. On that horrific day, 2,977 people tragically died due to terrorists’ acts, another 25,000 were injured and $10billion in infrastructure and property damage was done. It was the deadliest attack on American soil claiming the lives of firefighters, he month of

police, emergency personal and working citizens. We vowed to “Never Forget” and the annual 9/11 ride is one that reminds us all! The Infidels MC gave honor and respect for the victims and continue their efforts in solidarity to remind us all to

Cancer Sucks Poker Run

By: Pam Irvin Photos: Tina Kahler Broughton n Saturday, August 29, 2020 the rain did not stop those willing to help this great cause.

It was a great turn out that morning and the rain stopped soon after the event began. This poker run was coordinated by the Blazing Skeleton Riding Club of Sylva and family and friends of Scott Crook. Scott was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer which caused him to lose over 100 pounds in three months. Scott is married to Candy and has two daughters Alexis and Caitlyn. Even with the cancer taking such a toll on his body, Scott is continuing to work to support

his family and pay medical bills.

The ride started at Ricks Cycle in Whittier, went through Bryson City, Cherokee then to Waynesville. It was a beautiful ride through some of the best areas of Western North Carolina for a great cause. Several local business donated door prizes and items for drawings. It was amazing to see the community come together for this family.

A good amount of money was raised for Scott and his family that day. Donations are still being accepted at Ricks Cycle 4762 Hwy US 74 West, Whittier, NC 28789.

Memorial Ride For Cannon Hinnant By: Lloyd and Rose he most

devastating thing I believe as a parent is to lose a child. The Hinnant family lost their son Cannon. A beautiful. 5yr old little boy, tragically gone in an instant.

There is nothing that can change it or fix it, other than a lot of love and support, and prayers. On August 30th Xtreme Wings N Things in Winston-Salem , NC held a memorial ride for Cannon, raising money to help the Hinnant Family. You could feel the love in the air. There was a beautiful prayer blessing all, and to bring all riders home safely.

Guardians of the Children was on hand to register the bikers. Over 250 bikers took a country ride, stopping at Double

D Burnout Saloon in Kernersville, Little Cedar Grocery in Kernersville, and then to The Ole Watering Hole in Wallburg, then back to Xtreme Wings where there was live entertainment, an auction, and partying on into the night.

We got the opportunity to talk with the Hinnant family, they were amazed and overwhelmed by the love from the biker family. The family was very grateful as they saw how many people came together to do this, “Thanks and we’re keeping you in our prayers.”

The was a lot of money raised, because the bikers always dig deep. We all know Cannon was smiling down that day, blessing all the sponsors. Thanks to the folks at Xtreme Wings keeping everyone wrangled and hydrated. Thanks also to Bikers Rally Against Bullying for logistics and planning, Fated Few for ride safety and security, Steel Rain for ride safety and security, Breaking the Chains for logistics and production, and Brew Beards for ride planning and leading the route. Thank you to Just Us Band for their efforts, and all the bikers that are always there.

You can make a donation to the family at: https://www. gofundme.com/f/justice-for-cannon ***This go fund me was established with permission from both parents*** by Cannon’s grandmother. Any other pages in relation to Cannon that are currently accepting donations are not approved by his family!

ManCup Races At The Rock Story and photo by Alan Dockery he weather was about perfect

for mid-September when the Manufacturers Cup National Motorcycle Racing Series competed at The Rockingham Dragway.

The Corona19 virus reduced the fields to some extent since many of the foreign teams couldn’t be in North Carolina for the 39th Annual 190Hookup.com Nationals presented by Robinson Industries. But that didn’t stop my buddies in the sportsman classes from having a great time at the dragstrip.

ManCup races feature the quickest and fastest motorcycles in quarter mile competition. All brands race and often my Harley drags buddies kick ass against the foreign machines. Yeah, Ken’s big ole chopper whooped the field in ET class on Sunday.

Sam White, Chapin, SC, was there with his High Gear Pro Fuel machine to thrill fans of big motor fuel bikes. He also competed on his Pro Dragster and finished runner-up in that class. I love the 120 inch Nitro Bikes and so do the fans.

ManCup action continued down through the classes from Pro Mod to a couple of ET Dial In classes. Lots of Carolina racers were at The Rock looking for records and wins. I saw Keith Browne, Semora, NC, make some quick passes on his

too cool turbo Harley. I love seeing that machine run well.

Lumbee Racing and Team Mad Monkey were well represented at The Rock. Paul Watson, Greensboro, NC, looked great, as always and put on a show for the folks. Paul Uricchio, Charleston, SC; Travis Groff, Hopkins, SC and Brian Peterson, Archdale, NC, beat up on the Jap Bikes all weekend.

They ran personal best times and went rounds for their Carolina fans.

Mitch Dibble, Laurinburg, NC, is back on the strip and making better passes every time he brings the wife’s Sportster out to beat on it.

Chris Rasile, Greensboro, NC, is a longtime Harley drag racer. His Fast Lane Cycles entries from some restored antique race bike to the XR-1200 he runs now are always impressive.

He already held the Super Eliminator Class HD/S record with a12.14 second elapsed time at 109.21miles an hour for last year’s race. From the time Chris hit the strip he was busting his old records getting down to a 12.03.

“I said to a few guys all I want to see is a 11.9999 pass to confirm that I ran an eleven second pass on this stock 2009 XR-1200 Sportster”, Chris said. “Well I did it on my third and final qualifying run. I blew right past the 11.90 zone with a killer 11.89 run. So here it is, folks, my new HD/S Class

51

World Record is now officially in the 11 Second zone and I picked up 2.5 MPH with my 111.44 top end speed record.”

This was a great early birthday present, only 8 days away from tonight while Fastlane Keeps On Rockin’ So, Carolina racers showed up and did well at The Rock for the ManCup race. Bikers and racers don’t always need the top fastest classes to have fun.

One thing I dig about ManCup races is the variety of bikes.

Some of the quickest street machines you can imagine are there. And some old style race bikes, too. That single cam Honda 750 was built to win rounds. There were some Kawasaki KZ 900’s and 1,000’s from back in the day when those were bad ass street racing machines. I saw a real clean Suzuki GS 1100 making passes. And there were even some old two stroke race bikes for the folks who dig that ring a ding ding sound and the smell of oil in the air.

Sorry I didn’t get all the racer’s and winner’s names this time. But I know y’all had a good time at The Rock for the 39th Annual 190Hookup.com Nationals presented by Robinson Industries and the ManCup. I hope to see y’all at the dragstrip again cheering for your favorite teams.

If you are offended by any of the jokes on this page, take heart in the fact that we go to great lengths to offend everyone equally. This is not a hate crime!

the bank. The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan, so the Redneck handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The car was parked on the street in front of the bank. The Redneck produced the title and everything checked out. The loan officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apologized for having to charge 12% interest.

Later, the bank’s president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the Redneck from the South for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank’s private underground garage and parked it. Two weeks later, the Redneck returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.07. The loan officer said, “Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?” The good ‘ole Tar Heel boy replied, “Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $23.07 and expect it to be there when I return?” His name was BUBBA...

guy said and he left the agent’s office. Five years later the agent opens an envelope sent to his office. Inside the envelope is a letter and a check for $50,000. The agent is awe-struck, who would possibly send him $50,000? He reads the letter enclosed: Dear Sir, Five years ago, I came into your office wanting to become an actor in Hollywood, you told me I needed to change my name.

Determined to make it with my God-given birth name, I refused. You told me I would never make it in Hollywood with a name like Richard van Lesbian!. After I left your office, I thought about what you said. I decided you were right. I had to change my name. I had too much pride to return to your office, so I signed with another agent.

I would never have made it without changing my name, so the enclosed check is a token of my appreciation. Thank you for your advice. Sincerely, Dick van Dyke

A recent joint study conducted by the Department of Health and the Department of Motor Vehicles indicates that 23% of traffic accidents are alcohol related. This means that the remaining 77% are caused by a$$holes who just drink coffee, carbonated drinks, juices, yogurts, and crap like that. Therefore, beware of those who do not drink alcohol. They cause twice as many accidents.

A guy stuck his head into a barbershop and asked, “How long before I can get a haircut?” The barber looked around the shop full of customers and said, “About 2 hours.” The guy left. A few days later the same guy stuck his head in the door and asked, “How long before I can get a haircut?” The barber looked around at the shop and said, “About 3 hours.” The guy left.

A week later, the same guy stuck his head in the shop and asked, “How long before I can get a haircut?” The barber looked around the shop and said, “About an hour and a half”. The guy left. The barber turned to his friend and said, “Hey, Bob, do me a favor. Follow that guy and see where he goes. He keeps asking how long he has to wait for a haircut, but then he doesn’t ever come back.” A little while later Bob returned to the shop laughing hysterically.

The barber asked, “So, where does that guy go when he leaves?” Bob looked up, wiped the tears from his eyes and said, “Your house!”

Then she had mentioned that the world was really round and… got interrupted… “Miss Smith, the world is square, not round,” said little Johnny. “No, it’s round Johnny.

A good looking man walked into an agent’s office in Hollywood and said, “I want to be a movie star.” Tall, handsome, and with experience on Broadway, he had the right credentials. The agent asked, “What’s your name?” The guy said, “My name is Richard van Lesbian!.” The agent said, “Sir, I hate to tell you, but in order to get into Hollywood, you are going to have to change your name.” “I will NOT change my name! The van Lesbian name is centuries old, I will not disrespect my grandfather by changing my name. Not ever.” The agent said, “Sir, I have worked in Hollywood for years...you will never go far in Hollywood with a name like Richard van Lesbian!

A cat died and went to Heaven. God met her at the gates and said, “You have been a good cat all these years. Anything you want is yours for the asking.” The cat thought for a minute and then said, “All my life I lived on a farm and slept on hard wooden floors.

I would like a real fluffy pillow to sleep on.” God said, “Say no more.” Instantly the cat had a huge fluffy pillow. A few days later, six mice were killed in an accident and they all went to Heaven together. God met the mice at the gates with the same offer that He made to the cat. The mice said, “Well, we have had to run all of our lives: from cats, dogs, and even people with brooms! If we could just have some little roller skates, we would not have to run again.” God answered, “It is done.” All the mice had beautiful little roller skates.

About a week later, God decided to check on the cat. He found her sound asleep on her fluffy pillow. God gently awakened the cat and asked, “Is everything okay? How have you been doing? Are you happy?”

The cat replied, “Oh, it is wonderful. I have never been so happy in my life. The pillow is so fluffy, and those little Meals on Wheels you have been sending over are delicious!”

The Longstreet Legend, SRFFSR

Southern Riders MC, Cumberland NC

By: Chi

Longstreet Legend is about the life of a beloved brother, Steven (Einstein) Mark Longstreet.

Steven Mark Longstreet, 62, of Bunnlevel passed away on April 11, 2020. He was born March 31, 1958 and is preceded in death by his mother, Jacqueline Longstreet.

He was stationed at Fort Bragg in the late 1970’s and was a member of the Southern Riders Motorcycle Club whom he also considered family. He died doing what he loved, riding his Harley. He was loved by all and will be greatly missed.

Steven is survived by his father, Roy Longstreet; step daughter, Ashley Moore; two brothers, one sister and many nephews and nieces.” capefearcrematory.com/obituaries/StevenLongstreet/#!/Obituary When I met Longstreet at SRMC in Cumberland it was a warm summer day and he greeted me with big kind smile. A smile that you remember; you know the ones that light up the place.

He was not always the loudest one laughing in the room, but he was always wearing a smile! We joked about it a bit and said we are all happier when motorcycles are involved. Longstreet was a hero of a man. He had been through some battles; faced and won in the many trials that life brought his way. He seemed to have a spirit of gladness about him. He did not waver in his countenance yet, everyone was shown same human kindness.

Southern Riders Motorcycle Club posted a cross in his honor at the site on Sunday, May 31, 2020. Everyone left the clubhouse and followed until we reached location. His long-time SRMC brother and dear friend, Dirty Byrd, read a scripture and SRMC conducted a heart touching roadside services that left only a few eyes dry. As his brothers walked along the scene and picked up his antenna and a few other items. They placed the items at the base of the Southern Rider Red Cross that was scripted LONGSTREET, SRFFSR! Then they returned to the clubhouse to make a toast to their beloved brother. There were many good memories shared about Longstreet, the brother that everyone could call a friend. Longstreet was noble in his cause. He was always willing to give with a thankful heart. Charming and friendly just to name a few terms that define our Steven Longstreet. No words can adequately describe the love and respect that truly is the Legend of Longstreet!

Longstreet’s’ last ride was held at Southern Riders MC, Cumberland County Clubhouse on Saturday, June 6th2020.

SRMC, Cumberland dedicated their 35thAnniversary as Longhe

street’s Last Ride; a Celebration of a Life Well Lived. Heaven gained a tried and true biker. His memory and ‘The Longstreet Legend’ will live on in our hearts forever, SRFFSR!
