Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) “Where was God?”
A Biblical Counseling View of (PTSD) and Posttraumatic Growth Development (PTGD) as it is presented in the Life of the Apostle Paul)? Perhaps,( Philippians 3:6a) can serve as a starting point to construct an approach to PTSD that is conducive to the biblical record. Paul writes that he was “a persecutor of the church.” Paul seems never to have been able to forget his persecuting activity, the memory of it continually haunts him.
But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, That I may declare all Your works.( Psalm 73:28) A significant question in the mind of a person wrestling with the aftermath of a traumatic incident is, “Where was God?” This valid cry of the soul is a( PTSD) survivor’s attempt to understand what it means to trust in a power greater than themselves. The question cannot be avoided. What does (trauma) do to the human heart? Simply, (trauma) sends a message, that seems to prove that God is not good,” Frequently,( PTSD) survivors struggle with an inner story that for God to have permitted the traumatic incident to occur, God must have character traits like their abusive father or neglectful mother. More damaging and hurtful is the belief that God looked the other way while the trauma was happening. Consequently, (PTSD) survivors sometimes conclude that trust, on any level, with any person, is foolish. What did the Apostle Paul do about his reoccurring disturbing memories?
13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14 New King James Version (NKJV) There is no way to completely address ( PTSD) in this article and I am no expert on the subject. I can only offer a word of encouragement to those who have lost their faith in The Lord and those who are wrestling with their faith at the moment. I can only offer this final scripture to those who are struggling, The Lord is not your enemy but there is an enemy of your soul and this is the conflict we find ourselves in. THERE IS HOPE!! 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly ( John 10:9-10) New King James Version (NKJV)

-FEATURED MC-
SONS OF SOLOMON
T
he Son of Solomon Motorcycle Club is a nationally recognized Motorcycle Club comprised of Prince Hall Masons. The
San Antonio, TX
Petersburg, VA
club was formed in the fall of 2007.
Doc or National President had a vision to start a motorcycle club of like-minded men. Initially he reached out to Walk (National Vice President) and shared his vision on starting a MC based in the Washington, DC area. The two discussed the formation of a club and their options. Early on in the discussions Hack (National Sgt At Arms) joined in the vision. As the three started to envision a club of like-minded men they looked at other Masonic related clubs with the thought of just joining one of those larger clubs. After thought and reflection the three, decided to embark on a journey of starting their own club. In the spring of 2008 the Sons of Solomon Motorcycle Club was born. We operate under traditional MC values and hold our commitments to masonry sacred in our travels. We are a group of men who share a commitment to God, Family, Brotherhood and Masonry. We have a foundation that is solid. We all share a special bond that is earned; that bonds which allows us as Masons to travel and the freedom to travel on motorcycles.
ATLANTA, GA AIKEN, SC

In the short time since the Sons were established we have grown nationally and has become known as the Motorcycle club for Prince Hall Masons. Our goal is to spread the cement of brotherly love and affection, that cement which unites us into one sacred society of brothers. Our mission is to spread brotherly love, faith and charity. Our charitable works across the nation include: •

A farmer ordered a high-tech milking machine. Since the equipment arrived when his wife was out of town, he decided to test it on himself first. So, he inserted his “manhood” into the equipment, turned on the switch and everything else was automatic. Soon, he realized that the equipment provided him with much more pleasure than his wife did. When the fun was over, though, he quickly realized that he couldn’t remove the instrument from his ‘member’. He read the manual but didn’t find any useful information on how to disengage himself. He tried every button on the instrument, but still without success. Finally, he decided to call the supplier’s Customer Service Hot Line with his cell phone “Hello, I just bought a milking machine from your company. It works fantastic, but how do I remove it from the cow’s udder?” “Oh, don’t worry,” replied the customer service rep, “The machine will release automatically once it’s collected two gallons. Have a nice day, now.”
A Preacher was explaining that he must move on to a larger congregation that will pay him more. There is a hush within the congregation. No one wanted him to leave. They adored their Preacher. Joe Smith, who owns several car dealerships in the City stands up and proclaims, .. ‘If the Preacher stays, I will provide him with a new Cadillac every year, and his wife with a Honda mini-van to transport their children! and the Congregations children on Church outings.” The congregation sighs in relief, and applauds. Sam Brown, a successful entrepreneur and investor, stands and says, ‘If the Preacher will stay on here, I’ll personally double his salary, and also establish a foundation to guarantee a college education for all his children!’ More Amen’s and loud applause. Sadie Jones, age 88, stands and announces with a smile, ‘If the Preacher stays, .... I will give him sex!’ There is total silence and shock. The Preacher, blushing, asks her, ‘Mrs. Jones, whatever possessed you to say that?’ Sadie’s 90 year old husband Jake is now trying to hide, holding his forehead with the palm of his hand, and shaking his head from side to side, while his wife replies, ‘Well , I just asked my husband how we could help,and he said,......’Ah, Hell, Screw him!’

A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph’s Hospital. She meekly asked, “Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?” The operator said, “I’ll be glad to help, dear. What’s the name and room number of the patient?” The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said, “Norma Findlay, Room 302.” The operator replied, “Let me put you on hold while I check with the nurse’s station for that room.” After a few minutes the operator returned to the phone and said, “I have good news. Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back normal and her physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged later today.” The grandmother said, “Thank you. That’s wonderful. I was so worried. God bless you for the good news.” The operator replied, “You’re more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?” The grandmother said, “No, I’m Norma Findlay in Room 302. No one around this damn place will tell me jack-shit.”
When John and Mary first got married John said, “I am a sex addict and I’m putting a box under the bed to help control my addiction. You must promise never to look in it.” In all their 30 years of marriage Mary never looked. However, curiosity got the best of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the box were 3 empty beer cans and $81,874.25 in cash. She closed the box and put it back under the bed. Now that she knew what was in the box, she was really curious as to how? That evening they were out for a special Anniversary dinner. After dinner Mary could no longer contain her curiosity and she confessed, saying, “I am so sorry. For all these years I kept my promise and never looked into the box under our bed. However, today the temptation was too much and I gave in. But now I need to know why do you keep the 3 beer cans in the box?” John thought for a while and said, “I guess after all these years you deserve to know the truth. Whenever I was unfaithful to you I put an empty beer can in the box under the bed to remind myself not to do it again.” Mary was shocked, but said, “Hmmm, I am very disappointed and saddened by your behavior. However since you are addicted to sex, I guess it does happen and I guess 3 times is not that bad considering your problem.” John thanked her for being so understanding. They hugged and made their peace. A little while later Mary asked John, so why do you have all that money in the box? John answered; “Well, whenever the box filled up with empty cans, I took them to the recycling center and redeemed them for cash”.

Motorcycle season is right around the corner. Years ago it seemed like everyone knew what ABATE of Maryland was. Now I am asked what ABATE is on a daily basis. I don’t know why that is but we are working hard to change that. So here goes the definition. ABATE means A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments. Here is what that means. We are a grassroots motorcycle lobbying organization. We are also about safety and awareness. We lobby in Annapolis on anything motorcycle related. WE ARE NOT JUST ABOUT HELMETS. I get asked all the time - “So you’re the helmet people”. There are so many more issues that we address. Yes helmet freedom of choice is one. We believe an adult age 21 and over should be able to make that decision to wear a helmet or not himself. It should not be
mandated. ABATE of Maryland has accomplished so much over the years. Thanks to ABATE you can now use auxilliary lighting on a motorcycle. This allows for Blue Dot illumination. Maryland now has 7» X 4» registration plates which brings the size in line with the standard size used by most states. No more car plates. In 2008 the right-of-way bill passed which establishes that if a person fails to yield the right-ofway in violation of a specified provision of law and the violation contributes to an accident that results in the death or serious bodily injury of another, the person is subject to a specified fine and the MVA is authorized to possibly suspend the persons license for a specified period of time. We enacted the Motorcycle Safety Program in 1983. We also defeated an attempt to impose catastrophic health insurance that would make motorcycling unaffordable for most riders. We also enacted a lemon law that protects consumer interests of motorcycle purchasers and enacted a parking law that allows two motorcycles to park in one metered spot instead of only one. We maintain relationships with other motorcycle rights organizations, including MRF, AMA and NCOM. So you see, we are not just the helmet people. We are your voice in Annapolis. We fight for your rights on a daily basis. If you own or ride a motorcycle/ATV and you are interested in preserving your rights and freedoms regarding riding in Maryland, we need your support. You can contact us on the web at www. abateofmd.org or call the state office at 800 8430252. Michelle Holcomb Executive Director ABATE of Maryland, Inc. LIVE TO RIDE. RIDE TO LIVE. RIDE FREE! SHELL

road hounds
Hurley is a 9 month old, male, Irish Wolfhound/ Lab mix who came into our shelter earlier in the month when his previous owners felt he needed more exercise then they could give him. Hurley is still such a puppy! He has an endless amount of energy and loves to play with tennis balls and Frisbees. On first glance Hurley looks to be a shaggy black dog, however out in the light his coat turns into a chocolate color which makes him absolutely beautiful. Hurley is already crate trained and does well with other dogs. He would love to be in a home by St. Patrick’s day so he can celebrate his Irish heritage with his new family! Lady is one of our Senior Citizens here at the shelter. She just reached her 10 year old birthday and is as spry and rumbustious as some of our youngest puppies. Lady is a firecracker, she will investigate everything and has no fear about going where ever her curiosity takes her. She was rescued by the SPCA from another shelter where she ran out of time. Lady does have a lot of energy, although she is more mature, this little lady would benefit from some training. Lady is perfect entertainment, its had to have a bad day when she is so happy to see everyone and runs around you in circles to get your attention. Lady will make a great addition to any family!
Slim is one lucky dog! He rescued from a shelter that does not adopt out pit bulls. Him and his brother (Jim) are only 8 months old and are very full of life. Luckily the other shelters staff fell in love with these two pups and held on to them until the SPCA could come pick them up. Slim is very sleek and wants to please people. Slim and his brothers are best friends and will go outside and wrestle for hours, they are a blast to watch, but you have to stay quiet because as soon as you say their names or remind them your standing there, they run full speed at you to give kisses. Slim is a bit more low key then his brother and loves to sit in the sun and cuddle with people. Jim is the other half to Slim. Jim is just ridiculous and silly! When something grabs his attention his ears will stand completely upright and he looks hilarious. Both boys are at the perfect age to adjust well into a new home, they are young and receptive to new information yet old enough to understand concepts such as house breaking.
Stop by our shelter to visit the animals shown or the many others up for adoption! SPCA of Anne Arundel County, 1815 Bay Ridge Avenue, Annapolis, Maryland 21403 410-268-4388 – www.aacspca.org The SPCA of Anne Arundel County is not affiliated with, or supported by any other SPCA or humane organization.

A Talk with David Uhl
And A Look at His Amazing Work
W
By Hillbilly
hen I first got to the Timonium Bike Show, I did what every self-respecting biker does I went looking for bikes and babes. I don’t really remember seeing David Uhl’s large booth right there in the middle of it all. I passed by a couple of times and never really paid much attention to it. I’ve always stayed away from most art things, because to be honest I am the worst artist of all time. I’m sure you all know someone like me, the guy that can’t even draw stick people. I guess I’ve always been jealous of people that could draw or paint so effortlessly. I didn’t realize just how jealous I was about to be. On one of my trips around the show I looked into his booth and the next thing I knew I was standing in front of one of the pictures. I couldn’t believe how great these paintings were. The more I looked around I really liked what I was seeing, and it didn’t take long to see that I wasn’t the only one. The booth was full of bikers young and old, male and female. The paintings were just amazing. I knew I had to talk to David Uhl if I could get the chance. As I watched him finishing a new painting, I decided to asked if he would mind talking with me and sharing his story with Thunder Roads Magazine MDDE-DC. He accepted the offer, and after talking with him I gained a great respect for him and had to share his works with our readers. David started painting motorcycles in 1998. Before that he was an international illustrator. He did ball point pen drawings as a style that became really popular. He did everything from Apple computers, IBM, Newsweek, and Time. He also did all the Brookstone ads and worked with Fed Ex for six years. In 1998 he decided he didn’t want to illustrate any longer and wanted to try his hand at painting. THUNDER ROADS MAGAZINE MD-DE-DC
When we talked about the paintings, I asked about the reception he’s gotten from the biker community. He summed it up in one word “Incredible”. He always figured he would get a good response because of the subject of his paintings. He paints mainly antique motorcycles like pan heads, knuckles, and flat heads. It’s all the things bikers love and a recipe for success. I also usually have a cute girl or woman painted with respect and class. He finds women like the paintings as much as the men do because of that. If you happen to go to a show and find out David is there displaying and selling his art, find something you like and buy it early. He tells me he sells out at most of the shows. So if you were thinking about getting a Uhl painting, don’t be hesitant to pull the trigger or you may just miss the chance to own one of these amazing works of art. His studios are located in Golden Colorado. David usually does attend Daytona Bike week, Sturgis, and he also goes to the Arizona Bike shows. He came to the East Coast because he was invited to the New York bike show. So he decided to do Timonium and then onto Indiana before going to Daytona. Which worked out good for us and we got a chance to see his work up close. For the next year and a half he’s going to do some painting of the history of wine making. He said it was going to be “some pretty serious art”. He also said he would keep doing the motorcycle paintings during this time. Which I was glad to hear. Thunder Roads is going to feature David’s work in upcoming monthly editions as it becomes available. Tell us what you think and we will pass it on to David. In the meantime if you’re interested in obtaining some great motorcycle art for your collection you can go to www.uhlstudios.com or contact Greg Rhodes at 303-913-4840. Be sure to tell them that Thunder Roads MD-DE-DC sent you.

Timonium’s
Will Fair 2006 Independent Low Life
Big Show 2013
W
By Rhino
here do you start? That’s the question that comes to mind while writing this follow up on this year’s Big Show. Between the record breaking attendance of over 41,000 and the amazing displays of creativity, this is one show that truly sets the bar. From the time the doors opened Friday morning til they closed on Sunday the crowd was non-stop. It got so busy Saturday that the Fire Marshall had to shut down the entry thru the gate for one hour to insure that the show did not exceed maximum capacity. Even with that, I would be willing to bet that there were no disappointed attendees at the Big Show this year. I mean how could you; this show had something for everyone. For the all custom builders at heart, there were several of the top builders from the area and beyond here, such as C&C Cycle, Severe Cycles, and Kundratic Kustoms just to name a few. The bikes they displayed were at the top of the market and really helped the imagination of all us enthusiast with ideas for our own rides. Very rarely do you get the chance to talk to these artists and learn where their inspirations or ideas come from. Jim Wubben of P.B. Choppers was also in attendance all three days. Jim had a large display of all his masterpieces from his Dale Earnhardt Sr. Bike to his latest creation the “Duke”, a John Wayne tribute bike that he unveiled for the first time on Saturday. Again just another great attraction among many that the Big Show provides. Speaking of Artist, you really missed out on an opportunity if you didn’t make to this year’s Big Show to meet and see some of the latest and greatest master pieces from the man himself, David Uhl. This artist is without a doubt in my mind and several others that were in attendance the next generations Norman Rockwell. I know that’s a big statement to make, but his art speaks for itself. As soon as you walked in the show and around the corner you automatically were drawn in at the mere sight of these amazing paintings that were on display. If you did indeed miss the chance to see these works of art go to www.uhlstudios.com and check them out for yourself and you be the judge. As far as the eye could see the show was also packed with the local works of art from riders all over the east coast region and beyond. With theme bikes that ranged from the Smurfs to Aliens and just about everything in between. There were over a 125 bikes entered into the Custom Bike and Antique Bike Competition this year, and after the 26 hours of judging was completed to insure that each bike received the same amount of time for inspection. We would like to congratulate the top 5 winners in the show who are: Judges Choice Best of Show: Will Fair 2006 Independent Low Life Best Display of Show: Herb Wolfe 1996 Harley Ironhead Sportster
Best Handcrafted Parts: Jeremy Cupp 2011 Special Construction Best Paint of Show: Sean Gray 2005 Kawasaki The Winner of the 4th Annual Beatrice Landis Memorial Award for Best Antique of Show : Larry Wroten 1954 Harley Service Cart Now that we have mentioned those winners and put them up to local celebrity status, let’s get to those celebrities that were in attendance. As it should be we will introduce the ladies first. That’s right Michele Smith from the new Discovery Channel show Two Wheel Thunder was present and signing autographs and taking photos with all her fans. She was not the only star that was making an appearance at the Big Show this year. Vinnie & Cody
Herb Wolfe 1996 Harley Ironhead Sportster
Larry Wroten 1954 Harley Service Cart
Jeremy Cupp 2011 Special Construction Sean Gray 2005 Kawasaki
from Discovery Channel’s 10 year run of “American Chopper” were also on hand. Finally let’s not forget the nicest bad guy you’ll ever meet Emilio Rivera or as some of you may know him as Marcus Alvarez, the President of the Mayan Motorcycle Club, on the popular FX show Sons of Anarchy. Without a doubt one of the nicest celebrities I have had the privilege of meeting.
Manufactures that were present as well with their newest editions and great deals. It was defiantly a power house of local dealers from Battley Cycles, Pete’s Cycle, and Bob’s BMW there was no short on the variety of bikes to look at.
With all that said there is still so much to go over and I don’t want to leave anything out so if you didn’t make it out this year you will realize what a huge mistake it was and start marking your calendar now for next year’s Big Show at the Timonium Fairgrounds located in Timonium, Maryland February 7th – 9th 2014. For more information about next year’s show check out cycleshow.net
One thing that gets over looked is the Big Show is the place to go to set your schedule for the rest of the year with all the areas upcoming rallies on display as well like Mountainfest, Morgantown, WV, OC Bike Bikes to the Beach, Ocean City, MD, and Thunder in the Valley, Johnston, PA. to list a couple. Honestly the Big Show delivers like no other. Between the timing of the show allowing you to get ramped up for the upcoming riding season and the 100 plus vendors to allow you to buy whatever it is you may need to get ready all under one roof.
On to the next great feature, we would have to go with all the great deals to be had with all the big name and local vendors in the building from Baltimore HD with their massive display of new bikes and bike accessories, to vendors like Everything Jack Daniels, Rider Insurance and let’s not overlook all the leather and riding gear vendors you would ever need. You can’t fail to mention all the
As if all that wasn’t enough to fill the need for some bikes on a cold winter’s day. Lowside’s Swapmeet held some hands on workshops and tool technique demonstrations for the fast growing garage-built motorcycle scene. Covering all the Café Racers, Bobber’s, Rat Bikes, and more was another successful part of the show this year as well.

ust Press Go! An appropriate title to the first song on the debut CD from Sons of the Radio released in 2010.
This band has been pressing GO since their inception in 2009. Now in 2013, and preparing for their second CD release due to drop in June of this year, the band is pressing on harder than ever. Averaging about 50 shows a year, from all nighters in local clubs to opening for national touring acts such as LA Guns, Bang Tango, Black Stone Cherry, Charm City Devils and several more at places like Ram’s Head Live. This group of ultra talented local musicians is poised to break out of the “local band” stigma and become a regional, and hopefully national, powerhouse. Son’s of the Radio was formed in Laurel, MD in 2009 by current members Guitarist Mike Sullivan, Drummer Jimmy Herberson, Vocalist Matt Gomez (just Gomez) and former bassist Richie Widzbor. Current bassist Tom Kravulski joined in Jan of 2012 when Richie left to pursue other interest and spend more time with his young children. They started out as a pure rock cover band and instantly gained a very loyal following. The inspiration of large crowds at their shows and the progress the band made musically early on encouraged them to start writing their own music and a 7 song CD release called Heartstrings and Heresies arrived in 2010. The different members of the band have a wide range of music influences that shows in their writing. Son’s of the Radio does not sound like every other band that has come
26
along recently. By combining the styles that each of the band member is influenced by they have come up with their own style that is unique, they call if Filthy Rock! It’s not metal, it’s not classic rock, alternative, punk or hard rock, It’s all of those. The 7 songs on H&H emulate these influences. If you give it a listen start to finish you can pick out the influences ranging form Alice in Chains to Eric Clapton or Foo Fighters to the Replacements. Entertaining, easy to listen too and not like everything else you here nowadays. Though it’s their first recording effort it has maturity of writing you don’t often find in a debut. This makes the upcoming 2nd release all that more anticipated. Heartstrings and Heresies (engineered, mixed and coproduced by Jerome Maffeo of Jimmie’s Chicken Shack) was a breakthrough. It lead to several awards due to it’s infectious and memorable tunes. Son’s of the Radio, in addition to other awards, was named Muzikreviews. com “Pick of the Week” in May 2012, Top 10 finalist in the Gorilla Music National Battle of the Bands 2010, Shockwave Magazine “Band of the Month” Jan 2012, WBAL TV Top 40 Break Out Band Dec 2011. Currently, as of this writing, Sons of the Radio are on Reverbnation.com’s homepage as a featured Band of the Week. Son’s of the Radio can be seen and heard at several local clubs in Maryland on a regular basis. Check their website below for the schedule. For you Redskins fans, Sons of the Radio has a traditional gig at the Extreme Skins tailgate

SAT APRIL 27TH REDSKINS DRAFT DAY PARTY – FED EX FIELD 1PM Fri May 17 Looney’s Pub College Park College Park, MD | 10:00PM
If you have the opportunity to meet and hang out with the guys in the band as I have you would find a group of highly talented individuals that are fun loving, laid back and genuinely good people. They are all professionals both in music and in their personal lives. The band consists of a marketing manager, business analyst, financial analyst and of course Batman. We’ll let the readers guess who is who. These guys are just plain fun to be around and the laughs don’t stop. None of the 4 are new to the music world, all have experience in bands previous to Son’s of the Radio and this gives them an edge newbie’s and rookies don’t have. They know what they are doing on stage and off. The music business is tough and can chew you up and drag you down, but with the maturity and professionalism SOTR brings to the table they have forged their way through without the usual pitfalls many bands experience in their early years together.
Sat May 18 Coconut Joe’s Edgewater Edgewater, MD | 8:00PM Fri Jul 12 Looney’s Pub South Maple Lawn, MD | 10:00PM LOOK FOR THE CD RELEASE PARTY ANNOUNCEMENT COMING SOON! Accolades: * Currently featured on Reverbnation.com’s homepage as a featured band of the week, and we’re in their Top 10 bands in the Baltimore/DC area. * Selected to be a showcasing band at the 17th Annual Millennium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA in January 2013. * Named a MuzikReviews.com “Pick of the Week” for our debut album, “Heartstrings & Heresies”, in May 2012. * Named a 98Rock/Shockwave Magazine “Band of the Month” in January 2012.
With the sophomore release due in a few months, approximately June 2013, (currently being mixed and as of this writing untitled) Son’s of the Radio could be on the verge of exploding in popularity not only in the Mid-Atlantic, and with the help of their fans and great social media skills, all over the USA.
* Named a WBALTV “Top 40 Emerging Maryland Band” in December 2011.
Be sure to catch SOTR live! With high energy performances and catchy tunes you’ll humming when you leave, you most assuredly will be coming back for more. Rest assured Son’s of the Radio will be pressing on for foreseeable future. When asked where they see themselves 5 years now every member said that sounds like a good time to be touring supporting CD #3, but I think it would be a good time for #4

It has simple categories and free admission to all. Joe Johnson, who is chaplain for the Home and School Association, voiced his idea for getting more community involvement with the Eastern Shore Junior Academy in 2010. He felt that the school should host a truck, motorcycle and car show in early April to start off the season. In 2011, the first show occurred and Joe was there, working the registration table and opening the show. He had a great time and began making plans for the next year. Almost tragically, Joe fell the next day striking his head and triggering a stroke that nearly took his life. Six months of therapy and recovery found Joe a little weaker but still determined to get the show rolling again. www.facebook.com/JoeJohnsonTCB/info joejohnsonTCB@gmail.com Spring Scrabble Run Sunday, April 7, 2013 from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM ABATE of Calvert County Spring Scrabble Run - Sunday, April 7, 2013.

Nuclear Cowboyz Freestyle Motocross (FMX) Tour Saturday, March 16, 2013 Sunday, March 17, 2013 Coming to New Jersey - Nuclear Cowboyz 2013 is the only FMX tour of its kind that’s told through an adrenaline-packed narrative based in a futuristic setting. The saga is defined through jaw-dropping freestyle motocross tricks meshed with stimulating pyrotechnic and laser displays all synchronized to heavy metal, rock alternative and electronic dubstep music. The two legendary Nuclear Cowboyz FMX tribes, the Soldiers of HavocSM and Metal Mulisha®, return for an action-packed event that takes place in the war-torn city of Los Angeles during the year 2150. The tale unfolds as the two tribes’ survival is threatened and besieged by an evil force, The Tempest and her electrifying acrobatic Cyborg Army. Cast into the heartpounding ferocity and frenzied excitement are the alluring Nuclear Cowgirlz® dancers, whose allegiance to their tribes only intensifies the Tempest’s rage to destroy the Nuclear Cowboyz. The Soldiers of Havoc and Metal Mulisha’s battle is fought through fearless, gravity-defying freestyle tricks. http://www.nuclearcowboyz.com/ THUNDER ROADS MAGAZINE MD-DE-DC

E.R. “If I did I’d have to kill you all. Actually they just went back to the writing room a couple of weeks ago. We are all waiting to find out what does happen.”
i y’all! Sittin’ here on the front porch with this months’ guest Emilio Rivera or as some of you know him, Marcus Alvarez, the President of the Mayan Motorcycle Club, on the popular FX show Sons Of Anarchy. I caught up with him at the Timonium Bike show.
H.B. Do you think you’ll get the chance to kick Jax ass next season?
One of the first things I noticed at the show was how accommodating he was to all the people that wanted a picture or autograph. He stayed each day until everyone had a chance to talk with him. This is strange in this day and age when stars or athletes have no time for us little people that pay their salaries. No wonder S.O.A. is such a big hit. The stars actually remember the people that watch the show.
E.R. “Oh no I hope not man, because then they will kill me. I don’t want to leave. Jax and I are friends Bro.” H.B. Let’s talk about last season’s biggest story Opie’s death. What was that like for you? E.R. “Sad, very sad. It was bad till I saw him a week later, I felt good again. Because I thought he was really dead. I believed that stuff. Because even though I’m on the show, I’m still a big fan of the show. It was a sad time. You know what I cried when he died. At least I will admit to it brother. I think we all cried.”
H.B. What’s it like to be to be one of the bad guys on S.O.A.? E.R. “I like being a bad guy all the time on the show. It’s therapy for me brother cause I’m a good guy in real life. I Love it.”
H.B. What do you have planned for the future, anything in the works?
H.B. One of the things I noticed here at the show is you stayed and signed for everybody no matter how long it took. Which again is very unusual these days? E.R. “You know what it is Bro the people give me a lotta love and they are the ones that make us go. I’m always gonna give the love back to them.” H.B. Is it true that S.O.A is gone after two more seasons? E.R. “It’s supposed to be two more years. Everyone should start buying S.O.A. merchandise now because it’s history. Buy your stuff and get it signed cause there will never be another show like it. There is nothing like it now and there never will be. It’s a true original.” H.B. Can you give the Thunder Roads readers a couple of hints about next season?
E.R. “I always got something in the works. I do a TV show or movie every month. I can’t stop working cause I got to feed the family. You all know how that is.” H.B. Do you get chance to come back this way anytime soon? E.R. “As long as they keep calling me back I will keep coming back here. I’ve been treated great here. I feel a lot of love here. I came out at 12:30 today and have not stopped signing stuff and it’s now 6:30, but the people are showing me so much love.” Well I’m almost outta shine, but I really want to thank Emilio for his time here on the porch. I gotta say this is one “Bad” guy I will always root for. Remember to Share with a Friend and lose the Lid — Hillbilly

interesting summer I
t’s interesting how things change. I guess somewhere someone said once that the only thing constant in life is change. I’ve seen many changes in the past decade in my life. Many were positive changes, some not so much so. With regards to my club life, my changes have been good for me. I continue to learn new things every day, and share what I have learned with my brothers. Honor, Respect, and Brotherhood. Too bad all don’t get it. Nothing more disappointing than someone you called a Brother turning out otherwise. Well, it happens. As I’ve mentioned in previous articles, there are many politics with regards to the Motorcycle Club lifestyle. What patches are welcome where. Who ranks where in the hierarchy of patch wearers as perceived by the MC community, etc. Typically there are areas claimed by specific patch holders, especially when it comes to the One Percenter lifestyle. But that’s not to say that there aren’t many others who claim their “territory” as well. Actually, I find the science behind it all pretty interesting. It is odd a bit how things have changed over past several decades. When I was born in the sixties, my Old Mans club ran with all of the big clubs, and a few of the smaller ones. I guess it was a different time. There wasn’t much animosity based on club colors. In fact many of the same clubs who today despise each other’s patch based on the history of the clubs, all rode and partied together back in the day. It seems that life was simpler back then. Dad always said that back then the common enemy was law enforcement and citizens. But much has happened over the past four or five decades. If you’ve followed the history, and can believe a portion of what’s been reported, then you know why things have changed. It would appear that in the MC political struggle for power, some have paid for their allegiance with their lives. And depending on whose side you’re on, there is always someone else to carry that blame. Makes me think
34
about how it parallels other long withstanding feuds. Like the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s. It’s a shame really. I’ve met so many clubbers from all sides of the fence, and they really are individually very similar. It seems that every club has a “Wild Bill”, a “Cowboy” and a “Scoot”. Ours does too. I haven’t run across any other “Tabasco’s” yet. Of course I don’t travel the southwest very often, so you never know. Our club exists in an area with some very long standing predominant clubs. Like forty plus years of occupancy. We see them as our friends and kindred souls. Recently some other long standing clubs have begun moving into the area. Clubs that have never existed in this area before and also new ones are popping up all the time. I prefer to selfishly exist for our own benefit, and not anyone else’s agenda. I think to coexist is important. I mean if clubs run the same areas, you are bound to cross paths. I know some believe that anyone not wearing their patch is an immediate enemy. I enjoy stopping out to other clubs parties and meeting new people. But even when we do so, I more enjoy heading back to our clubhouse and partying with my own Brothers. To me that’s what it’s all about. I know the politics thought. I’ve known them my entire life. I don’t usually roll in with our club into a major city without a call ahead to give a heads up. Hell, in fact we typically like to roll in and throw back a few with the local club if I have a contact. It’s fun. I have friends in clubs from all over, and it good to get out and visit sometimes. Most are cool. If someone’s an ass, they’re an ass. It really doesn’t matter what patch they wear, or if they wear any patch at all. Like every Biker I look forward to Spring, and hitting the open road with my crew. I can’t wait for the summer parties, festivals, and swap meets. A ride to the lake, or through the hills. But with all the new clubs popping up and old ones moving in, one thing is certain, it’s going to be an interesting summer.
