It is June and the heat index and humidity is already getting out of control! Be sure to drink lots of water when you are out riding in this heat. The events are starting to slow down a little as it is always so hot and usually rains every day here in Florida. We have a few events coming up so be sure to mark your calendars. June 11th is our annual SOAKED AND SORE ASS POKER RUN!!!! This is a great ride and always has about 200 people on it! If you have never done one, then this would be a great year to start. We are starting at Kickin Wingz in Hudson FL, and they are doing a breakfast that is dang good! Then it I s off to a 300+ mile ride one way to Panama City Beach with Five Stops between for a seven-card poker hand. The money for the final stop depends on how many poker hands are sold and it is usually a pretty good pay out. One of the best things about this run is you get a shirt, patch and certificate at the end stop when and if you make it. These are something you can only get on this ride, once the ride is over if we have any of those items left, we destroy them and throw them away so we can’t just give them out to people. I know a lit of people who make new friends on

this ride every year and if you are new to Florida, it’s a great way to get out and see a larger area of what Florida has to offer. Single riders are $40 and double riders are $80. You can sign up online or sign up the day of with cash, either way works. We hope to see everyone on this fun ride and hope it is one of the biggest turn outs we have done! Let’s try and get over 200 on this ride this year! If you have any questions call us at 727-935-4875. All the stops and addresses are in this month’s issue if you are planning out your ride and be sure to bring your rain gear as it is rain or shine, and chances are traveling this far in Florida in June, it’s gonna rain on you somewhere. July 15th is our next big poker run and this is always a fun and hot ride. The Full Throttle Annual 5 Bridge Poker Run. This ride goes over the 5 major bridges that connect Tampa Bay. Those bridges are the Howard Frankland, The Courtney Campbell, The Bayside Bridge, The Gandy and of course the Skyway Bridge. We always end at the Winghouse of Ellenton where they have a great outside area, we announce our winners. One of the great things about this poker run is of course winning money if you have a good hand, going over the 5 major bridges is always fun, but we also have a patch for the first 100 people who sign up for the ride! We hope to see you on this great ride that starts at Moramoto Tampa! For more info call us at 727935-4875 or check out the Facebook event page! I would like to wish my brother, Paul a very special happy birthday and my daughter Ashlynn a Happy 17th birthday! It’s hot, ride safe and be sure to check out the two biggest bike nights every Wednesday at Quaker Steak and Lube and every Thursday at OCC Road House for Bert’s Great American Bike Night Powered by The Fran Haasch Law Group. Don;t drink and ride and I'll see you soon!

The Diva Angels Tampa Bay Chapter “Cereal for Summer” food drive for WTSP was a great Success and we collected over 400 boxes of cereal and All 4 Chapters of the Diva Angels participated. We had so much fun, and everyone loves our little Diva Dog ‘Tink’. After Easter we got together for our Mystery Ride…. Great turnout of members and guests as we explored twists and turns of northern Hillsborough/Pasco counties using the back roads to Lake Lindsey Mall & Deli. To our surprise, the restaurant/store has been remodeled and looks great. Summer is here and Motorcycles are everywhere, before embarking on the roadway … do your TCLOCS check on your motorcycle; Tires and Wheels, Controls, Lights and Electrical, Oil and Fluids, Chassis and Sidestand (…. to make sure your motorcycle is safe and road ready. My important motorcycle safety tip: Ride like you are invisible and always be alert to know what vehicles are near. Tampa Police Department has a wonderful advanced motorcycle safety course, S.M.A.R.T;

Her Instagram reads “bionic_bihhh”. She commands respect. She fought hard all her life to get to where she is at. By the looks of it, stars maybe lining up for Amaya to rise to the top. This resilient 22 year old Scandinavian blooded warrior has been fighting in the trenches for years and quite admirably. Better than many of us would have. She isn’t going to be a stat. “Knowledge is power” is the first thing she said as we sat down for dinner in her favorite restaurant; Olive Garden. Big sister to 4 siblings she pretty much raises; Alex who is almost done with college, Aden who is 16 and still too involved with video games and then, precious Issac who is 6 and Eli who is 5. Daughter to a substance abuse mother. Mother who is fighting hard to have victory over her addiction. Absent father who by Amaya’s demeanor and language considers him a stranger. Amaya put herself through school ensuring she would at least get a high school degree. “I watched people get hurt all my life and I refuse to live that kind of life” she confidently declared. Her story deeply resonates within me. Amaya successfully graduated from Withlacoochie Technological College in Florida. One of her instructors noticed her insatiable thirsts to learn and for knowledge. A strong indication of potential and success if harnessed right. Turns out Amaya’s search for experience and learning got her to be a car tech, auto body painter, aviation-grade fiberglass tech, a welder, and a fabricator capable to work with and read engineering documents. This interview turned into photoshoot turned into a wildly successful mind-blowing welding test at my friend’s shop “Pheonix Custom Engineering” in Clearwater served me with inspiration I have long experienced. This chick can “quality tig”! Don’t believe me? Bring her in for a test! Amaya’s story has not even come out my loyal faithful photog Suzanne of “323 Photography Studio” and I are getting requests to see and review materials we produced about her. Did I mention this tattooedup badass improved version of Lara Croft is also a tattoo artist at “The New York Tattoo

Gallery” in Clearwater Florida? She lost a leg but she doesn’t care for people to pay much attention to that about her. I will respect that and keep it short. Turns out of all people, a biker crashed into her, was uninsured and pretty much left her high and dry to deal with all the aftermaths. This is a classic case of the value of getting “Uninsured Underinsured Motorist Coverage” with your insurance carrier. Amaya however is not a “victim”. She is a “victor”. A lot of people I know stuck in and with sob stories should learn from her. My friend Andre Kress of Corsa Moto Works in Clearwater as he recalls tells me of the morning after Amaya’s accident when she facetimed him first asking about her bike. Andrew Mora of Moramoto personally rallying behind her to help her get another bike. To everyone’s surprise, Amaya did not fold! She is now also a motorcycle stunt rider! Quite good at it as I witnessed. Crowning this story without mention of Steve Chamberland would simply not be right. When Amaya was in desperate need of a new start, Steve Chamberland and his incredible organization “50 Legs” made sure it would happen by providing her a customized prosthetic leg. This “pringle” as she calls herself is happy. She believes in God and that His hand is at work through this all. Chuckling she states, “I like and I enjoy figuring life as it has become”. Like a true Floridian, Amaya not only fishes and hunts but she can also clean her kills. I am excited for Amaya and her future. How inspiring her story is and how she choses to live her life. This owner of a Kawasaki ZX10 is about to take flight and I am privileged to have met her standing by her to watch it happen. Knowledge is certainly power. I would add, attitude and choice of perspective in a good dose of reality combined with a resilient fighting spirit also is.
