Ohio Bike Week The Midwest’s Largest Motorcycle Event!
OHIO BIKE WEEK 2018 MAY 24 - JUNE 2
Ohio’s motorcycle rally – Ohio Bike Week – roars back for 2019 in all it’s glory with a full 10 days of Rockin’, Ridin’ and “biker shenanigans” along the North Coast. Last year OBW had cut back to 5 days in effort to focus their resources and make the Rally more concentrated for those attending and participating. However, the crowds and local communities cried out – and the OBW powers listened. Thanks to the support of key sponsors, such as Toledo Harley-Davidson, Mad River Harley-Davidson, and Lake Erie Shores and Islands (www.shoresandislands. com) – Ohio Bike Week has returned to its traditional 10 day format. The first big concert of the week is held at Toledo Harley-Davidson on Friday May 24th – as they have traditionally kicked things off for Ohio Bike Week. This year it’s the legendary heavy metal band Queensryche firing things up. This is a great party and always draws a huge crowd to the dealership. With a massive portable stage erected, the Bike Week crew transforms the back lot into a true concert venue for the night. Then when the show is over, they bring it all out to Sandusky as the focus shifts there.
www.ohiobikeweek.com
On Saturday, May 25th, Thunder Roads Ohio will be hosting the OHIO BIKE WEEK Championship Bike Show in downtown Sandusky right on the Barrel House Pier. Right there on the water, the show will feature some of the top bikes from across the state – including Best of Show Bikes from the 2019 TRO Championship Bike Show Series. Registration starts at Noon, with the voting and judging going from 2-4pm. This is an invitational show, with invites going out to Best of Show, People’s Choice, and Best in Class Winners from the 2018 Series. There are, however, a limited number of spots available for first time and open applications to be considered.
CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS for the Piston Power Show and last year’s Ohio Bike Week. It’s our intention to present the ring this year to the SERIES CHAMPION. Professional photographers will be on-site to take pictures for a number of publications as well. The TRO Bike Show Series features local, regional, and nationally recognized shows that all builders and bike owners are welcome to participate in. Vintage, metric, v-twin, customs, restored antiques, “restomods”, trikes, and radicals - are all featured in the shows. It’s also important to note that these are RIDE-IN shows, meaning that the bikes are expected to be ridden and a little bit of road dust is fine. We don’t split hairs over trailering in bikes, but we
do require that all bikes are functioning. They must start and be able to be safely ridden on the road. Even if you’ve never shown your bike before, you’re welcome to come on out. If you’ve spent some time customizing or restoring your bike and you’re proud of what you’ve accomplished – come on out and put it in the show! Even if you don’t win anything, chances are that you’ll meet some great folks and have some fun. There will be live music and the Twisted Tea Bar will be open right on the water. The Twisted Tea Girls and our own Iron Angels will be on hand as well – helping to host the party, give away plenty of “swag”, and get pictures taken with the bikes. What better way to spend the day?
Awards will be given out across more than a dozen classes, as well as a Best of Show and People’s Choice Trophy. Sponsored by Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys and Twisted Tea – the show promises to be a fun time on the pier with some amazing bikes. Once again, Lenny Strnad of Vivid Jewelers (www. vividjewelers.com) has created a unique custom Championship Ring that will be awarded to the BEST OF SHOW BIKE. Lenny has previously produced the TRO 52 52

On Monday, May 27th, Ohio Bike Week, and Mad River H-D are hosting an Official Attempt to break the Guinness Book of World Record for Largest Motorcycle Poker Run. They need at least 1,495 people to break this record – and you’re invited to be a part of the WORLD RECORD event. Registration begins at 9am at the dealership and you must be checked in by 10am to be part of the official count. All proceeds from this ride benefit the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association Central Ohio Chapter and Fisher House. These are great folks that deserve our respect, appreciation, and support – so riding with them is the least we can do. Of course, this is BIKE WEEK, so it would be great if we could all get a little wind in our hair in addition to all the concerts and festivities. Thankfully, themed rides run all week with daily rides from Mad River Harley-Davidson and numerous local runs supporting worthwhile causes as well. With Bike week back to ten days, the traditional rides such as the Tuesday Prison Ride
THUNDERROADS® ROADS®OHIO OHIOMAGAZINE MAGAZINE THUNDER
and Kelley’s Island Poker Run on Wednesday are back. These two rides are extremely popular and always draw a crowd. The Jesse James Celebrity Charity Ride takes place on Thursday and benefits Stein Hospice. Jesse James himself and numerous other local and national motorcycle celebrities take part in this ride and it’s always a great time. And of course, it ends at the OBW Pool Party (at the Comfort Inn) and you know that’s a PARTY! More on that later… The Annual B.A.A.N.C. Owen Barker Memorial Run leaves the Barrel House Saloon on Sunday, May 26th and supports the work of local riders to help children in need. It’s a great, boots on the ground organization that we strongly recommend supporting. The ride ends at the Knucklehead Saloon in Huron, where there’s live music, raffles, and plenty of fun for all.

On Wednesday, May 29th, the First Annual Ohio Bike Week IRON & INK Tattoo Contest will be hosted by Thunder Roads Ohio Magazine at The Original Margaritaville. Registration starts at 6pm and runs until 7:30. This is a great time with live music and a chance to show off your ink. If you’ve got a cool story behind your art – that’s even better. It’s a social, interactive contest with the crowd voting on their favorite pieces with awards for potentially 7 categories and cash prizes for Best Piece and Best Overall Canvas. There’s also a chance for artists and studios to win prizes and recognition as well, if they are present. It’s sure to be a new OBW Tradition. For more information or to register in advance, email IronandInkTheMagazine@gmail. com Shops and artists are also invited to get involved – just email us for more information.

On Thursday, JACKYL kicks things off with an always rowdy show that has become a Bike Week tradition.

I’m an Ohio Biker and this is our home state rally, but that’s not the only reason why Ohio Bike Week is easily one of my favorite rallies anywhere – and it’s not just because I’m a homer or that we work with them; quite the contrary. We enjoy working with Ohio Bike Week because of how they run their event! The folks at OBW have always taken the approach that they will throw a HUGE PARTY – and the crowds will take care of them by spending their own money as they see fit. The vast majority of the shows and entertainment is FREE – and those few things requiring admission are more than reasonably priced. The OBW masterminds have always believed that if they offer fair prices and a good product – in the form of quality entertainment in a cool setting, riders will support the rally. While you’re enjoying the rally, we ask that you make it a point to support the exhibitors, vendors, sponsors, and local businesses that make this Rally possible. You will be able to find them here in the Rally Guide, in the Pocket Guide, and through signage at their businesses. Much like this magazine itself, it’s through their support that the Ohio Bike Week organizers are able to produce one of the nation’s best motorcycle rallies – right here in Ohio! And I for one, would like to see the Rally continue to grow for years to come! Hope to see everyone at Ohio Bike Week – our State Rally!

MUSIC SPOTLIGHT
Queensryche
Jack Daniel’s Barrel House Saloon 101 E. Shoreline Dr. Sandusky, OH 44870
Queensryche formed in 1980 and hail from Bellevue, Washington. They released an impressive 15 studio albums, one EP, several DVDs, and continue to tour today. However, the original line up consisting of Geoff Tate, Eddie Jackson, Michael Wilton, Chris DeGarmo, and Scott Rockenfield are no longer together. Despite selling over 20 million records and achieving world acclaim, guitarist DeGarmo left the band in 1998, quoting “personal reasons.” Several years later, in San Paulo, Brazil following what many claim was an over publicized backstage altercation before the show, singer Geoff Tate was officially fired from the band. Geoff and long-time manager Susan Tate responding to the firing, filed a lawsuit in Washington court, claiming the he was wrongfully terminated. The ruling in the preliminary injunction was that both parties could use the name Queensryche until a court ruling or a settlement decided who would get to use the name. It took over 2 years but, the case was finally settled on April 17, 2014 in which founding members Wilton, Rockenfield, and Jackson were awarded the rights to the bands trademark and allowed to continue playing with Todd La Torre and Parker Lundgren. The Band found its most commercial success in 1990 with the release of Empire. Empire peaked at #7 and sold more than 3 million copies in the USA alone, which is more than the previous four releases combined. The album was also certified silver in the UK. Silent Lucidity which featured an orchestra, became the band’s first top 10 hit. The arrangements on Empire were more straightforward than the bands other offerings. The Building Empire Tour lasted 18 months longer than previous tours and allowed the band to headline shows for the first time EVER! Using their headlining status, allowed the band to perform Operation Mindcrime in its entirety with songs from Empire thrown in for good measures! This tour would add a black mark to the bands history, while during a concert in a sports hall in Ichtegem, Belgium on November 20, 1990, a scuffle in the audience broke out which resulted in an American fan stabbing a Belgian fan to fatality in the chest. Tour manager Howard Ungerleider, immediately stopped the show as the band was only on the 5th song on the set list “Roads to Madness.” Don’t miss Queensryche Friday, May 24, 2019 at Toledo HarleyDavidson. You can get tickets at www.OhioBikeWeek.com

Queensryche burst onto the scene in 1982 with the release of their “Queensryche EP”, their full-length follow-up “The Warning”, and 1986’s “Rage for Order”, catapulted the band into international fame. But it wasn’t until 1988 that the band achieved world-wide dominance, with the release of Operation Mind Crime. Operation Mind Crime would go on to become one of the top 10 best-selling concept records of all time! With the critically acclaimed and monumented commercial release of “Empire” in 1991, the band earned multiple Grammy award nominations and won the MTV Viewers Choice Awards for the #1 chart topping hit, Silent Lucidity. Queensryche has sold over 30 million copies, worldwide, and continue to tour today, but the band isn’t without turmoil.

MUSIC SPOTLIGHT:
Loverboy By: Ted “Hollywood” Heckman TRO CONTRIBUTOR The band name “Loverboy” emerged from a dream Paul Dean had one night after spending time the previous night with some of the band members including Mike Reno and their girlfriends at the time. Before going to the movies, the girls were browsing through fashion magazines. The guys in the band noticed a Cover Girl ad. So, Cover Girl became Cover Guy and then later became Loverboy later that night in Dean’s dream. After having told Mike Reno about the dream, Reno agreed to try the name out and of course it stuck. Having formed in early 1979 in Calgary Alberto, Canada, Mike Reno {Vocals}, Paul Dean {Guitars}, Doug Johnson {Keys}, Matt Frenette {Drums}, and Scott Smith {Bass} wouldn’t take long to prove to the world that they were a force to be dealt with. The band’s line up was ready, rehearsals were done, the name had stuck-- what was next? For the newly formed Loverboy, they choose their first live debut opening for the KISS dynasty tour at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, B.C. on Nov 19th, 1979. After being rejected by almost every label in the states, it would be Columbia/CBS records Canada who offered the band a recording contract. In less than one year, the band had managed to open for KISS, probably one of the most successful bands of the ‘80s, and secured a record deal. Loverboy signed their deal and began recording their first record on March 20th, 1980. Their self-titled album “Loverboy” spawned two hits, “Turn Me Loose” and “The Kid is Hot Tonight”. The album cover was designed by Barbara Astman. She took the song lyrics for “Little Girl” and typed them on top of a self-portrait polaroid as it was developing. Throughout the ‘80s, Loverboy racked up numerous hit songs, both in Canada as well as the United States. Their debut album Loverboy sold over a million copies in Canada over that summer. The album didn’t ever debut in the United States until Nov of that same year. America in its true fashion {Not to be outdone} managed to buy up over two million copies. This forced the band to go on a massive tour doing over 200 shows opening for the likes of Cheap Trick, ZZ Top, Kansas and Def Leppard. The first single “Turn me Loose” reached #7 on the Canadian charts and #35 on Billboard’s Hot 100 in early 1981. The follow up Album “Get Lucky” was released in Oct of 1981 during their tour with Journey. The hit track, “Working for the Weekend” became a blue-collar anthem, along with “When it’s Over” and “Lucky Ones” that pushed the sophomore album to the #7 spot on the Billboard album charts, selling just over four million copies. That same year Loverboy won 6 Juno awards. A record that still stands this very day. Loverboy went on to release two more albums “Keep it Up” in 1983, and its first single “Hot Girls in Love” became their most successful to that date, reaching #11 on the US charts. As well as “Lovin Every Min of it” the bands fourth album release in 1985 with the single written by Mutt Lange and “This Could be Your Night” co-written by Journey’s Jonathan Cain becoming their first and second U.S. billboard top 10 hits respectfully. In 1986 the band released “Heaven in Your Eyes”, a song featured in the movie Top Gun. It peaked at #9 on the Billboard charts. Loverboy is celebrating 40 years together as one of only a few bands that managed to stay together that long. Don’t miss their only area appearance at Ohio Bike Week Saturday, May 25th at Mad River H-D. You can get tickets at www.OhioBikeWeek.com

TRO CONTRIBUTOR Ohio Bike Week’s 10 days of Bikes, Babes, Booze and Bands, all on the shores of Lake Erie in Sandusky, Ohio. The Bikes, the babes and the booze all explain themselves. So, this is about the Bands. Well one band in particular. JACKYL. This band of misfits formed in 1991. Their sound is unique in a way that can only be described as Heavy Metal Southern Rock. Their debut album has sold more than one million copies in the U.S. with hits like “Down on Me” and “When Will It Rain”. But the show stopper is the “Lumber Jack” song. It features a chain saw solo by vocalist Jesse James Dupree. In 1992 Jackyl’s self-titled debut was released and featured a song entitled “She Loves My Cock”. Of course, this was omitted from the edited versions as well as suggestive elements on the album cover art. KMart in Georgia {subsequently the band is from Kennesaw, Georgia} refused to sell Jackyl’s cd so the band played an impromptu concert in front of the store. Footage of the event was used for the music video of their single “I Stand Alone”. The band’s success was solidified when they were invited to play Woodstock ‘94 in Saugerties, NY. Other artists were paying attention to the band and in 1997 when Jackyl was recording “Cut the Crap” their single, “Locked and Loaded” would feature guest vocals from one of the biggest names in the industry, AC/DC vocalist Brian Johnson. Johnson would later return for Jackyl’s 2002 album “Relentless”. After the events of 9/11 Jackyl recorded and released “Open Invitation” which received wide air play throughout the U.S. It featured lyrics that included “I hate you Bin Laden” and “you’ve got an open invitation to kiss our ass”. The song mixed clips from George C. Scott’s portrayal of George S. Patton giving a speech to his soldiers in the movie Patton and President George W. Bush reading from the Bible’s Shepard’s Psalm. Psalms 23: verse 4. The band has described this song and its lyrics as being written in the key of anger; angry that such things can happen in this country. It was not directed toward any religion or race of people. It is directed toward the assholes responsible. In 2009 Full Throttle Saloon TV show premiered on Tru Tv. The series which takes its name from the bar, Chronicles, the daily operations of the world’s Largest Biker Bar. Full Throttle Saloon is located in Sturgis, SD. Michael Ballard purchased these 30 acres of land in 1999. Jesse James Dupree is a business partner to Ballard and appears on the show. In 2010 Jackyl released “When Moonshine and Dynamite Collide”. Several singles were released but the stand out video was for the hit “Just Like A Negro” featuring Run D.M.C. Stemming from his love for everything Rock N Roll, in 2011 Dupree launched Jesse James American Outlaw Bourbon, which exceeded all expectations and is now sold in over 40 states as well as countries around the world. Jesse and his business partner Michael Ballard also opened the Deadwood Distillery company in Deadwood South Dakota. Nothing captures the essence of outlaw more than Jackyl and its many brandings. Don’t miss Jackyl performing all their hits and selling their shine, May 30th @ Ohio Bike Week. This is a FREE concert, kicking off the Downtown Block Party, but you can get VIP tickets at www.OhioBikeWeek.com
