One of the year's best months is here ... I love October! The weather is finally starting to change and we can say goodbye to the blistering hot temperatures, the everyday afternoon rains and the 99% humidty. It's a great time to ride and a great time to be outdoors. I also love October because it is filled will great events ... The Cotee River BikeFest, Spooks N' Scoots, Biketoberfest and this year the return of the Odessa Rodeo! All of these are fantastic events and should be on your "must do" lists!

My favorite holiday also happens in October and that is Halloween. I love dressing up and our family has started a tradition where Tony, Tracy and my grandkids (Krysie, Ashlynn and Tyler) travel to Big Al's house. We eat Norma's famous pigs in a blanket (hot dogs inside of hot rolls) and "trick or treat" in a fantasic neighborhood. I love it !!!!

On a serious note, you must be extra careful riding in October. Along with the kids darting into the streets on Halloween, you also have to remember that Biketoberefst (like Bike Week) features hundreds of motorcycles and hundreds of riders who do not know the streets of Daytona. Many of them get lost easily and make stupid decisions when turning around, changing lanes or looking at GPS systems. It is also the time where "amateurs" jump on bikes and try to ride in heavy traffic. Always look out for the "other guy" and that can mean a car, truck or motorcycle!

I hope to see you in New Port Richey, Daytona or at Tampa Bay Downs for the Rodeo. Speaking of the rodeo, we are looking for people to enter the bike show, truck show and chili contest. Please contact your sales rep or the office for details. Happy birthday wishes go out to Al "Dew" Swetay who turns the big 50 on 10/15! Have a fantastic month and thanks for reading Full Throttle!

Biketoberfest is here and the masses will be headed to Daytona Beach for the last time it will ever just be a 4 day event. Next year they are going to make Biketoberfest a 10 day event just like Daytona Beach Bike Week is every year! That is going to be huge for the motorcycle community. Full Throttle always sets up multiple 10x10 booths handing out magazines and promotional items. This year we will be setting up our booths at Boothill Saloon on Main Street and in the Coke Pavilion at Destination Daytona. Come find us and get your current magazine, bumper stickers and all the other great info we have for the rest of the month. We are bringing back one of the best parties of the year at Biketoberfest this year, The LET'S GET CRAZY PARTY! This year we are doing the party on Thursday night at the Holiday Inn Resort about a mile south of Main street on the beach. This is an ADULTS ONLY party as we have some fun events and give out lots of ADULT PRIZES. Full Throttle will also be staying at the Holiday Inn Resort and they are offering all of our people great rates, so if you are looking for a place to stay still for Biketoberfest, contact Jennifer at 386-255-0921 and use the code FTM for your discounted room rates!

There are some great events that are happening before Biketoberfest in October. First, there is the 10th Anniversary at Plant City Bike Fest Saturday October 6th. This event is always the first Saturday of the month and usually has thousands in attendance. There are always a bunch of vendors, live music, a great ride in bike show and it is all emceed by the best, Radical Randy. Second, is Run to the Heartland Bike event October 5th through the 7th in Sebring. This year they are celebrating 100 years of Sebring. There is so much going on at this great event like bike shows, the motorcycle drill team, bike builders, and motorman. And one of the Biggest events to happen in the Tampa Bay area happens the second weekend in October, Cotee River Bike Fest October 11th - 14th. This is a HUGE event that has a great venue in the heart of Downtown New Port Richey. Full Throttle will be hosting two bike shows on Saturday and Sunday. Stunt man Jesse Toler will be there, $1,000 Daisy Duke contest, the Lo Cash Cowboys , Highway to Hell and much more! This is certainly one of the not to miss events in October. Last, is the Odessa Rodeo that is going to be held at the Tampa Bay Downs Racetrack in Oldsmar. This is an event that happened in this area a while ago and they are resurrecting it. The event is free to come to but if you want to watch the rodeo there is a ticket charge. Full Throttle is hosting a Chili cookoff, a truck show and a bike show along with our great sponsor Attorney Fran M. Haasch. The Odessa Rodeo is the last weekend in October, October 26th - 28th. We hope to see everyone at all of these great events!

We are starting all of the planning for the Florida Motorcycle Expo and Bike Builder Invitational that will be happening in January at Quaker Steak and Lube. If you are looking to be a vendor or a sponsor of this great event please contact us at Full Throttle 813-814-1424 or you can e-mail me directly at tonyc@floridafullthrottle.com. We have some great title sponsors on board now with Attorney Fran. M. Haasch, Jim's Harley-Davidson, Metro PCS and Walker Ford! The vendor application will be on our website so you can print it out and send it in with a payment at your convenience. All vendors who get their applications and payment in before December 1st, 2012 will get a discounted booth rate, so sign up today!

Next Month's issue we will have pictures from Las Vegas Bike Fest as my new bride and myself are taking a workcation to visit Las Vegas. I hope to see you all at least at one of the great events that are happening in the month of October as I will be at almost all of them! Have a great month and enjoy this beautiful weather, ride safe and rise smart, don't drink and ride and I will see you soon!

This year is going by so fast! We had a great September with lots of rides all over the back roads of this beautiful state.

One of our favorites is the Annual Diva Terana’s Birthday Ride on September 16th.

We went through Weeki Wachee, Aripeka, and all over the area and we stopped for a yummy lunch at the Bayport Inn. Next up was the wedding celebration at Quaker Steak & Lube for Tony and Tonya Cianci. What a wonderful time and what a wonderful couple. “Girls night in” was fun at Sandy and Robin’s, then again it’s always fun with those two! The Cruise For Critters was September 29th and of course a ride near and dear to our hearts was the 7th Annual Shannon Walsh Revette Memorial Ride on the 30th. All proceeds of the event went to Faces of Courage, allowing the organization to provide more free camps and events to women and children with cancer and blood illnesses.

Look for us in the month of October either traveling

the Ozona Trail or helping those in need. We’ll also be dressed up for Halloween Bike Night at Quaker Steak & Lube, just look for the “Angels”.

Speaking of helping out, the Diva table is set up on the 3rd Wednesday of every month on Bike Night at Quaker Steak & Lube. We are currently taking donations for Pet Pal Rescue. Pet Pal Rescue is a no-kill not for profit shelter in St. Petersburg. To find out more about this awesome organization, please visit their website at www. petpalanimalshelter.com .

If you are interested in becoming a Diva Angel, please check out our website tampadivaangels.com and see what we are all about. You may also come to our monthly meeting held the second Tuesday of the month at 7:00pm at Ker’s Wing House in Pinellas Park. Come ride with us, you know you want to......

Ride safe and rubber side down!

A GENIUS LIKE ME.... & 10 Things you never knew about Einstein

Interesting thing about Genius is that it seems to come with a helping of madness, an inner drive perhaps boardering on a multiple personality disorder. It's said to be the joy of making a new connection or obtaining a new insight, of accomplishing a new feat, that my friends is what motivates a Genius.

Being a true Genius also includes the components of talent and technique and it is widely accepted that a huge part of said technique is an un-stoppable drive, a persistence to arrive at a conclusion, and to understand the mystery of what they have set their sights on in a chosen field or art form. But my 37 loyal readers, on top of these attributes, Geniuses are associated with curiosity , imagination, wisdom, inventiveness , some humor and finally vitality and I’m sure you are asking yourselves “how do you know this”? Well in short, it's because I am one. I know this is no revelation to so many of you, especially to my close friends and family. And right now you my fellow Genius and “near" Genius readers must wonder what has prompted me to unleash this obvious statement of fact and what has brought my rare affliction out into the open? Geniuses are those rare individuals who have, among other qualities, the discipline and gifts to master the large domains of knowledge that allow them to come up with surprising combinations. We play in larger fields than most other people. More athletic moves, more musical memories, more images and words. A deeper knowledge of mathematics, of history, of art. We mentally map our fields in ways that access the right combinations at the right time. The very word Genius originated in ancient Rome where it related to the guiding spirt of a person. The word is also related to the Latin verb "genui or genitus" to bring into being, to create, to produce it would also explain the achievements of exceptional individuals who seemed to indicate the presence of a particularly powerful Genius. By the time of Augustas the word began to acquire its secondary meaning of "inspiration, talent". But my fellow Genius readers, well by reading my writings you must be “fellow Geniuses”, what really got me inspired to write this excursion into madness and wonder was when a fellow Genius friend of mine named his racehorse, fittingly enough “Captain Genius”. No ordinary horse my friends, this one stumbles at the gate, spots the pack a huge almost insurmountable lead and still shows. Runs in a shut out fog, you can not even see the horses on the track and as the fog thins at the wire there’s Captain Genius for a win, as I said to his trainer Joe Woodard, “takes a good Captain and a Genius to win in that fog". The 3 year old Florida bred colt has 5 top 3 showings out of 6 (3 firsts on two surfaces) only faltering when he "dropped a shoe" in one race. I know that I wonder sometimes if animals can be of a higher "IQ” than the normal

ones or be Geniuses like us? It's an abstract thought I give you that. My good friend Billy’s horse may go on to emulate the horse and the man I write of next, a man we all admire and a Genius who was named “Man of the Century" by Time Magazine and a man whos very name has become a synonym for Genius for who among us my friends has never said to another “yeah, you’re a real Einstein”.

“ EVERYTHING SHOULD BE AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE, BUT NOT SIMPLER”

He was a heavy smoker: Almost as famous as his eccentric hair and thrift store looking wardrobe was Albert Einstein with his Hiershom pipe hanging out of his mouth. The Genius himself said “I believe that pipe smoking contributes to a somewhat calm and objective judgment in all human affairs”. Einstein was very passionate about his pipe smoking, in fact my friends during one lecture he ran out of pipe tobacco and borrowed some cigarettes from his students so he could pack the tobacco in his pipe. But the true appeal to our formula minded friend was the soothing almost mathematical ritual pipe smoking gave. Carefully choosing from an amazing variety of pipes and tobacco then properly loading, tamping and packing it and then the gentle puffs required to ignite this ritualistic combo. Although he was more partial to pipes and their complexities he was not one to turn away from a cigarette or a good cigar. He once fell into shallow water during a sailing trip but managed to heroically hold on to his pipe even though he could not swim. Although his wife Elsa and all his doctors forbade him to smoke, he continued untill his death on Monday, April 18, 1955 from an abdominal aneurysm at age 76.

'’IF WE KNEW WHAT WE WERE DOING, IT WOULD NOT BE CALLED RESEARCH, WOULD IT?”

He invented a refrigerator: 21 years after his epic writings of his “Special Theory of Relativity” and five years after he received the Nobel Peace Prize (1921). He would design and receive a 1926 patent on a refrigerator that ran on alcohol gas. He would design this with his former student Leo Szilard and using his experience with the Swiss Patent Office (Albert worked there from 1903 to 1909) they would receive 45 separate patents on 3 different models and although the pair didn’t put the refrigerator into production, the most promising patents would be bought up by the Swedish Company, Electrolux. The refrigerator was a unit that acted as an “absorbtion refrigerator” and had no moving parts. It was a very simple and effective machine .

The refrigerator device required only a simplistic heat source

for its operation (such as alcohol). It could be used in poor villages without electricity or in the outdoors, no motors and no “plugs”. You would heat up one end of the device and the other end became cold, it was almost like magic. A simple design to a complex problem. Although not a hit when designed (Freon would be the future of refrigeration) it is being looked at today as a very environmentally safe and “green machine” and is in use in some remote areas of the world as you read this tale.

“THE ONLY REASON FOR TIME IS SO EVERYTHING DOESN’T HAPPEN AT ONCE”

Albert Einstein was offered the job as President of Israel : Only days after the first President of Israel died (Chiam Weizmann) on Nov. 9, 1952. Einstein was asked if he would accept the position of being their second president. Albert was a Jew but not a citizen of Israel and although this was mostly a ceremonial post at the time (the Prime Minister has the power of the state) it was a deeply respectful offer by the Jewish people. However my 97 loyal readers, Einstein declined, mostly because of his age (73 at the time) but said he was “deeply moved” by the gesture. He is quoted as saying, “All my life I have dealt with objective matters, hence I lack both the natural aptitude and experience to deal properly with people and to exercise official function. I am more distressed over these circumstances because my relationship with the Jewish people became my strongest tie, once I achieved complete clarity about our precarious position among the nations of the world”. To the state of Israel he was truely “The Greatest Jew Alive” at this time in history, having fled Nazi Germany in the early 30's. He would spend much of his time during World War II fighting to help other Jewish refugees escape from Europe. He also raised money to create the homeland of Jews in Palestine that would later become Israel and my good readers despite having helped create the State of Israel maybe the true reason Albert turned down the Presidential Office can be found in this quote. “ I should much rather see reasonable agreement with the Arabs on the basis of living together in peace than in the creation of a Jewish State. My awareness of the essential nature of Judaism resists the idea of a Jewish State with borders, an army and a measure of temporal power no matter how modest. I am afraid of the inner damage Judaism will sustain, especially from the development of a narrow nationalism within our own ranks, against which we have already had to fight strongly even without a Jewish State". Einstein obviously had a genius even beyond his chosen field of mathematics I think many would say.

“SCIENCE IS A WONDERFUL THING IF ONE DOES NOT HAVE TO EARN ONES LIVING AT IT”

A compass made him who he is: Many have asked what triggered his path to Genius? When Albert was five years old and sick in bed his father Hermann Einstein brought him a device that stirred his intellect. It was the first time Albert had ever seen a magnetic compass, he twisted it, he shook it certain he could make the device point in a new direction. But my 53 loyal readers, no effort by our young Genius could make the needle move from pointing in the direction of magnetic ”North”. A true wonder he thought. The invisible force that guided the compass needle was proof to Einstein that there was more to our world than we can see, there was something behind things, sometimes deeply hidden. Later as a child, Albert would patiently and methodically build houses of cards up to 14 stories high, when all the other children would only build to 4 before they would teeter and fall. Later he would say, “ It's not that I'm so smart, it's just I stay with problems longer”. At age 12 he came upon what he called his “Holy Book of Mathematics."

It was on Euclidean plane geometry and was the concept that one could prove with certainty theorems of angles and lines that were in no way “obvious”. This my 42 gifted readers, made an indescribable impression on the young Genius. He adopted mathematics as the instrument that he would use to prove his ideas of the behavior of the universe. And it all began my friends with a simple magnetic compass.

“EVERYTHING THAT IS REALLY GREAT AND INSPIRING IS CREATED BY THE INDIVIDUAL WHO CAN LABOR IN FREEDOM”.

Einstein's Brain: When he passed in 1955 his body was cremated and as he wished his ashes were scattered at a still today undisclosed location (said to be the Shark River in New Jersey near the Science Hall of Fame). He died at the age of 76 in Princeton Hospital. Albert would refuse surgery saying, “I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, if it is time to go I will do it elegantly”.

During the autopsy the head patholigist of Princeton Hospital Thomas Stoltz Harvey removed Einstein's Brain without the permission of the family. Days later he convinced Einstein's son that it would help Neuro Science and tell us why he was so “smart”. The brain was sectioned into 120 pieces and then into 12 sets of slides. Harvey retained two complete sets for himself and stored them in his closets as he moved through the years to various homes across the United States, in two large mason jars in a cider box. Upon the doctor's death in 2007 they were given back to Princeton Hospital. In the end Einstein's brain was found to be 15 percent over the size of the average brain, due to the fact that the “inferior parietal" regions on both hemispheres were much more developed than most. This would have given Einstein some powerful visualization skills, seeing that this region of the brain is responsible for much of our visiospatial cognition, mathematical thought and imagery of movement. They also found his brain lacked the groove which usually runs through part of this area

which suggests that his neurons may have been able to work more closely together and more easily given their proximity to each other. Einstein often said that he visualized his problems in mathematics more so than “thinking them out”, maybe that is why Dr. Harvey also removed the eyes of Einstein but that my fellow brainiacs is another story

“INTELLECTUALS SOLVE PROBLEMS, GENIUSES PREVENT THEM”

Einstein had an affair with Marilyn Monroe: While Albert was quite the ladies man (for his time) and had quite a few extramarital affairs but I have to tell you, my 23 gifted readers, this is pure urban legend. Although its reported by many reliable sources that Marilyn was a huge fan of Albert Einstein, and in fact they may have once stayed in the same hotel, but alas just not in the same room. In the same “legend” it is said that he sat next to Monroe at a large dinner party and that she whispered in his ear, “I want to have a child with you, Albert, with my looks and your brains it would be the perfect child”, to which Einstein replied, “Ah, but what if it has my looks and your brains”? Very funny stuff indeed but it was never said.

Although in the late 1940's actress Shelly Winters shared an apartment with Marilyn and later in her written autobiography, Winters claimed that Monroe had hinted about an affair with the Genius, so fact or fiction my 61 loyal myth busters? Let me know if you discover any details to this "legend". Albert would be married twice. Once to Mileva Maric whom he divorced in 1919 and then to Elsa Loewenthal (nee Einstein) his cousin. How close a cousin you ask, my amazed friends, very close. Elsa was related to both sides of the family. Albert's mother and Elsa's mother were sisters, plus Albert's father and Elsa's father were cousins.

Elsa and Albert had actually played together as small children, however their romance did not begin untill Elsa had married and divorced Max Lowenthal. She would die in 1936 after Albert and she emigrated to the U.S.A.

“IT HAS BECOME APPALLINGLY OBVIOUS THAT OUR TECHNOLOGY HAS EXCEEDED OUR HUMANITY”

He played the violin? Albert's mother Pauline was an accomplished pianist and she so wanted her young son to love music.

So at the young age of six she started him on violin lessons.

But my 31 loyal readers he hated playing it, well at first. But around the age of 13, my fellow virturosous, he heard the music of another Genius ... Mozart and for the next seven decades of his life he would play. Becoming a very good “Social Player” he would often play at local recitals and join in small groups such as garden parties and at Christmas time. He would also use the violin to relax and would often play for hours when stuck on an equation or mathematics problem using music to think things through in his head. A few great violinists said of Einstein the player, “There are many musicians with much better technique, but none, I believe, who ever played with more sincerity or deeper feeling”. The last few years of his life he felt dexterity leaving his left hand and my good readers he laid his violin down, never to play it again. However Einstein never lost his

love for the instrument. As he would still say “I know the most joy in my life has come from my violin”.

“THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STUPIDITY AND GENIUS IS THAT GENIUS HAS ITS LIMIT”

Einstein invented the Atomic Bomb? No, my good friends Albert is not the “inventor”. That honor belongs to Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer who was the director of America's Manhattan Project. But it would be Einstein and physicist Leo Szilard who togather would write a letter that led to the creation of that very project, and yes it would be the Atomic Bomb that would prove the true validation of Alberts famous E=MC2 equation where he predicted that an incredible amount of energy would be released if matter were converted into energy, he had also found out very early that this could be explained by studying radioactive elements.

It would be in 1939 that physicist (and friend) Leo Szilard would attempt to alert Washington D.C. of an ongoing Nazi Atomic Bomb research project, but alas my 41 loyal readers his warnings were not heeded.

Einstein with his fame was persuaded to come aboard and was quoted saying, “It is their responsibility to alert the Americans to the possibility that German scientists might win the race to build an Atomic bomb. And to warn that Hitler would be more than willing to resort to using such a weapon”. In the summer of 1939 just a few months before WW II would begin in Europe the letter was delivered to President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

This letter also recommended that the U.S. Government pay attention to and become directly involved in uranium research and its associated chain reaction research. This letter is said to be “ Arguably the key stimulus for the adoption of serious investigation into nuclear weapons on the eve of the U.S. entry into WW II“. Roosevelt could not ignore the warning and could not let the madman Hitler possess Atomic bombs first. The U.S. would embark in a race to build the bomb that could prove Einstein's equation correct, they would form the Manhattan Project led by Dr. Oppenheimer and America would become the only country to successfully develop an Atomic weapon during World War II. Oddly enough J. Edgar Hoover the director of the F.B.I. would deem Albert Einstein a security risk and he was allowed to only work on a few small details of it, never seeing it or its complete engineering or testing.

This seems so odd that the physicist whose equation led to the “idea” of the Atomic Bomb and whose letter explained the need for a bomb making project was considered too “risky” to aid in its design and building. Albert would say after the Great War ended “had I known the German's would not succeed in producing the Atomic bomb, I never would have lifted a finger" and this would haunt our peace loving and eccentric Genius.

In 1954 a year before his death he said to his old friend Linus Pauling, “I made one great mistake in my life, when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending atomic bombs be made, but there was some justification.............The danger the Germans would make them”.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge”

EINSTEIN LOVED SAILING: He would be given a sailboat for his 50th. birthday, a very nice 1929 German designed coastal cruiser that he would name ”Tummler” and he would often

call it his “thick little yacht". He would receive the sailboat in 1929 but by 1930 he was driven out of Germany as the Nazi’s would rise to power. A close friend would write in 1930, "While his hand holds the rudder Einstein explains with joy his latest scientific ideas to his present friends. He sails the boat with the skill and fearlessness of a child. He himself hoists the sails, climbs around the sailing boat to tighten the tows and ropes and and handles bars and hooks to set sails. The joy with this hobby can be seen in his face, it echoes in his words and in his happy smile". He has said losing his little yacht was one of the worse parts of having to flee Europe. He would then have a little 15 foot day sailor (named Tineff ) that he would sail on Long Island Sound, often being towed in and off of local sand bars, as he despised outboard motors, even returning one given to him as a gift.

Political passions once they have been fanned into flame, exact their victims..........Citater fra. No one has made much sense of the final two written words.

“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones”.

So my intellectual friends there you have it, I have been “rated" as the Genius. I am by my good friend honoring my name and vast knowledge of useless information with what seems to be a horse that may follow in Einstein’s footsteps or should I say “hoof-steps”, depends on which “Einstein” we are comparing him to. But we all have a touch of Genius don’t we my 32 loyal readers? It is said the line between Genius and insanity is a matter of perception. Maybe many of us are just “perceived” wrong? and we are all Einsteins at certain tasks. I’ve met many of you out in the world we live in bartenders, police, doctors, mechanics and soldiers, you’re a diverse lot and are obviously well read and very well versed and I truly do believe that there are many more Geniuses then we know among us, but one Genius will always be the example to all of us, the one we will use to describe someone with this affliction, this curse, this gift to be as “Yogi” put it, smarter than the average “bear”.

So there you have it my fellow superstars Albert Einstein pacifist, Jew, father, sailor, musician and chick magnet, he was all of these and so much more, but Einstein was never a follower, he acted on and pursued what he thought was right. Yes its clear he was a Genius but he also seemed to have an immense amount of common sense and that seems to me to be a key to being a true Genius. Stick to a problem don’t come back to it, think before you speak and most of all be in Einstein's and Captain Geniuses hoofsteps and don’t be a follower and with that my loyal superstars I will leave you with a last quote from Mr. Einstein that is very relevant today.

EINSTEINS LAST WORDS: Shortly after midnight he muttered a few sentances in German but the night nurse did not understand the language and with that the last words of the greatest minds in the world would be lost forever, but Albert would take the draft of a speech he was preparing for a TV appearance commemorating the State Of Isreals seventh anniversary with him to the hospital that day, but my good readers he did not live long enough to finish it, no it wasn’t an epic mathematical equation, or a new rocket fuel formula or a cure for anything except maybe World stupidity, it lay next to him at his death, an unfinished idea, an incomplete statement: “In essence, the conflict that exists today is no more than an old style struggle for power, once again presented to mankind in semi-religious trappings, the difference is that, this time, the development of atomic power has imbued the struggle with a ghostly character.

For both parties know and admit that, should the quarrel deteriorate into actual war, mankind is doomed".

Despite this knowledge, statesmen in responsible positions on both sides continue to employ the well known technique of seeking to intimidate and demoralize the opponent by marshaling superior military strength.

They do so even though such a policy entails the risk of war and doom.

Not one statesman in a position of responsibility has dared to pursue the only course that holds out any promise of peace, the course of supranational security, since for a statesman to follow such a course would be tantamount to political suicide.

And yes my loyal readers there was a horse named “Einstein”. He would make his debut on Feb.26, 2006 at Gulfstream Park where he would win the first of two (2004-2005) Gulfstream Park Turf Handicaps, he would then go on to win on three different track surfaces, dirt, turf and synthetic which is impressive by itself. Over his long career he would try and set a world record by winning on all three surfaces in one season but after winning on two would have an off race on the third surface and the Genius horse would be denied this amazing feat. The 8 year old Einstein would win 11 of 30 starts including four grade 1 races and retire from 5 years of racing with $2,945,238 in winnings. Einstein is now at Adena Springs Farm in Paris, Ky. and is to become a “Ladies Man” much as our E=mc2 Genius was renowned to be.

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing"

I sat down with a good friend Barbara Cronk and I asked her when Spooks’ n Scoots started? She told me it started in 1980 when the Hillsborough County Chapter of ABATE of Florida, Inc. lost its president, Jim Hill, to a motorcycle accident. Although other members had been lost previously, ‘Jim's death got us to thinking about a way to memorialize those who were no longer around.’ It was decided to use a member’s yearly Halloween party to pay tribute to brothers lost. In the following years the locations have changed as the event grew. The Chapter began hosting ABATE state meetings in conjunction with the event and it grew even more. The name Spooks 'n Scoots was adopted and an annual event was established.

One of the trademarks of the event is the unique chapter coolers (coffins) from which beverages are served. In the last several years, we have added a hearse to transport those coffins whenever we are on the highway to remind those in cages that motorcyclists have the right to be there as well. Each year offers a different t-shirt design and is printed in limited quantities. Part of these funds are used in our continual fight to protect the rights of motorcyclists and the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. In 1991 another change was made to the event. A sister, Elaine Shearin was taken from us. Spooks 'n Scoots are now dedicated to brothers and sisters lost. Much to our unhappiness, each year we have had to add a few more to the list that have left us.

More than a Halloween party Spooks 'n Scoots has become more of a wake in memory of all of those who no longer catch the wind with us. Each year Spooks 'n Scoots plays host to approximately 2,000 people. With bands Friday and Saturday, bike games, contests and a large assortment of vendors, all set in one of the nicest camping spots in central Florida.

Spooks 'n Scoots has become one of Florida's premier motorcycling events. The event is capped off with a memorial ride Sunday morning in hopes that no new names will be added to the list of those now gone. Enjoy yourself, remember those now gone, and make new friends for the future.Dates have already been set for next year's event October 11th, 12th, and 13th, 2013 so make the Opening Ceremony skit at Spooks and Scoots! The skit is done in a way to impact, help dramatize the sadness and frustrating way people feel when a senseless motorcycle accident happens. If you have not seen the skit - words really cannot describe it - especially the way it makes the audience feel.

Barbara Cronk has been the Director of the skit for the last 3 years and has been the "make-up artist" for the actors as well for the last 8 years. There are many helpers each year that also make the skit happen and shegives lots of thanks to those people. She is looking forward to helping making the skit happen again this year -- but there will be a few changes as the Sertoma Ranch has made changes to the Pavilion where the stage was. Just remember -- once you see the skit, it will be something you will not forget. So come and enjoy the event, and see something awesome and memorable.

I call Dr. Amar Patel my miracle doctor. I was in an auto accident in February. I am awaiting surgery on my back and neck. I have 2 appointments a week and I credit his care for my ability to walk. If you are seeking Palm Harbor chiropractic care then this is the right place. At the Palm Harbor Spine Center they strive to provide you with exceptional care in a friendly and relaxing environment. Their staff is dedicated to the well being of every patient, and strive to treat each patient as an individual. They also have offices in New Port Richey and Holiday, FL. What sets them apart is that they have two specialties in the office for your convenience.

In addition to Dr. Amar Patel, there is a medical doctor-Dr. Sadhana Shah, who has been treating Floridians for over 20 years. Both have experience in treating auto accident patients. Chiropractors emphasize the treatment of spinal conditions since correct spinal alignment can affect the proper function of other bodily areas and systems. Additionally, they can provide proper nutritional advice to augment recovery. Some chiropractors specialize in the treatment of other musculoskeletal conditions, such as those involving sports injuries. The main method of treatment used is called adjustment. It is a specialized, controlled and safe pressure applied to your spine. An adjustment restores the proper motion and position of your vertebrae. Please feel free to contact them as they promise to do everything they can to help. by: Tattoo'd Carole

It’s October! All kinds of things happen in the biker world in Florida, but my favorite is Spooks and Scoots October 12-13. This is the once a year reunion for bike and non-bikers. A great weekend camp out at a great place, the Sertoma Ranch at the Pasco/Hernando line near interstate 75. You can camp in motorhomes, tents, or the back seat of your car, or on the ground next to your bike. Lots of shade, showers, food. Really a great place. It is put on by ABATE of Hillsborough County for 32 years. See you there.

If you have been to the Webster Swap Meet and Bike Show you may have seen a vendor buying and selling parts and bikes by the name of Jim, a stocky guy with a red face most of the time, he passed away last month at the meet doing what he liked doing best. If I should do the same thing you will know I passed

happy out there not in a hospital or nursing home or anywhere else but doing things I like best. R.I.P. Jim See you girls at the bank soon

SMILE?

25 YEARS OF SEARCHING Happy Birthday Waldo!!! Twenty-five years ago British illustrator Martin Handford published his first book. It was originally called “Where’s Wally” but the name was changed to “Waldo” when it was released in the United States. Handford has sold over 58-million books in 38 different languages featuring that weird looking fellow in the red striped shirt.

People in New Jersey are being told not to make exaggerated smiles when they take their driver’s license photo. It seems their smiles could interfere with new facial recognition software.

They are also asked to remove glasses and all head wear. I guess you won’t hear “smile” before these photos are taken!

TALLY ME BANANAS If you like bananas, get ready to spend more money! The world’s most traded fruit is getting more expensive after Latin American rains curbed output.

It seems that those numbers are low as almost every 2030 year old I know has at least one tat! The good news is that only 14% of those people dislike their body art and regret getting them.

Three friends from the local congregation were asked, ‘When you’re in your casket, and friends and congregation members are mourning over you, what would you like them to say?’

Al said: ‘ I would like them to say I was a wonderful husband, a fine spiritual leader, and a great family man.’

Gene commented: ‘I would like them to say I was a wonderful teacher and servant of God who made a huge difference in people’s lives.’

Harry answered with, ‘I’d like them to say, ‘Look, he’s moving!’ ************************************************************ Why didn’t the skeleton cross the road?

Pirate walks into a bar, and the bartender said, “Hey, I haven’t seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible.”

“What do you mean?” said the pirate, “I feel fine.”

“What about the wooden leg? You didn’t have that

“Well,” said the pirate, “We were in a battle, and I got hit with a Cannon ball, but I’m fine now.”

The bartender replied, “Well, OK, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?”

The pirate explained, “We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and Got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook.

But I’m fine, really.”

“What about that eye patch?”

“Oh,” said the pirate, “One day we were at sea, and a flock of birds flew over. I looked up, and one of them shit in my eye.”

“You’re kidding,” said the bartender. “You couldn’t lose an eye just from bird shit.”

The pirate says, “It was my first day with the hook.”

Mama Quava is alive...Quavaween has not been cancelled.

9-11 Run with Pasco County Choppers.

3rd Annual Gratitude Ride Oct 13.

Details at www.PascoCountyChoppers.com Hello fellow bikers... Above is the rain date. They expect over 200 bikes to say “Thanks to our Local First Responders�. Hope you can make it.

We have a lot of great places to go here in Florida.

Some we all know and some are yet to be found.

It's my pleasure to help you find them. I have lived in the Tampa Bay area a long time and have gone to Ybor City many times. I went there recently with my friend from Holland (Sjoerd) and found a great time as usual. We started at The Green Iguana for a beer and listened to a local rock band and then went up the street to Coyote Ugly. I had forgotten

how much fun it is to watch girls dance on the bar with an MC singing and talking trash. Had a great time.. The crowds were not bad at all and parking was not a problem for a Friday. Which was strange for me because I remember Ybor being packed on the weekends. For some reason Ybor is struggling again. I hate to see that with such a great place.

So I say we should all go check it out and do our civic duty to eat, drink and have a good time dancing and listening to good music. Update: Quavaween will be in Ybor again this year. It was changed but not cancelled. Enjoy the ride...where ever you go... See you around !

40thThrottle annual Phil Peterson’s 57 Full Magazine Poker Run to Key West:

On Thursday, Sept 13th a group of us left St. Petersburg at 6:00 am for Key West and the Phil Peterson's 40th annual poker rally. I had the luxury of riding a brand new 2013 Harley Davidson Ultra Ltd. that I rented from Jim's Harley in St. Petersburg (thanks Tony). I must tell you it was "one great ride".

The weather on the way down was off and on showers but it didn't dampen the excitement or enthusiasm of the riders. The route we chose was to head over the skyway bridge and then head east on Rte. #70 thru Arcadia and then head south on Rte. #27 near Lake Placid. Traveling west along Lake Okeechobee we picked up some more riders in South Bay and proceeded south on Rte. #27 until we reached Florida City and Route #1.

From there it's about 130 miles of some of the most scenic riding you'll ever come across in the U.S. Crossing 43 bridges with the gulf to your right and the Atlantic to your left it was breathtaking at times (when it wasn't raining).

We arrived in Key West around 3:00 PM and settled into our room. The official start of the Poker Run from Miami is on Friday morning however there were a lot of us that always arrive the day early to watch the riders come in . Thursday night is the annual "Duvall Crawl" pub tour.

Watching all the thousands of bikes coming in on Friday was a special treat. They made 4 poker stops along the way to draw cards and then pick up there 5th card at the Conch Republic restaurant. My group as well as all the other "Thursday Riders" purchased their 5 cards at stop #5 as well.

The top 5 poker hands win cash prizes and the top 10 poker hands play a single game of Texas Hold 'em with the winner winning a new 883 Harley Davidson sportster.

During the weekend there was a world class bike show with some on the best looking bikes I've ever seen. They also had the usual bikini contest and other related bike activities.

The whole weekend was fantastic as usual but in my opinion the best part was the ride down and ride back and hooking up with some ole friends. Total mileage down was 430 and it took 9 hours with several stops.

The Key West poker run is always the third weekend in Sept. It's never been rained out in the 40 years that it's been held there. All the money raised goes to local Key West charities.

It is probably one if not the best bike rally's in the country. If you've never participated in this fantastic poker run you're really missing a great time. This was my 10th year and will certainly not be my last.

See you next year.

Quote: “FTw”

Quote: “what’s that got to do with the price of butter?”

My name is James and I work at Tropical Tattoo. We have been here for over 20 years doing great tattoos. This is the first job that I can actually say I love. It’s a family here. Outside of work I enjoy riding my motorcycle and playing music. If you want to get a tattoo done right the first time, stop on by and see us. We are open 7 days a week!

I have enjoyed designing ads for the biker community for 11 years. Along the way I have made many friends and associates that I would not have otherwise meet working anywhere else. Some of them are true characters that you would think only exsisted in the movies. I have also learned what a caring, respectful and charitable group of people exsist in the biker community. If ones down they all pull together in beatiful ways and take care of each others. To others I would like to say don’t judge a book by it’s cover. There are a lot of great people behind all that chrome and leather.

I am also the night time manager for Connie’s Bar B Q down in South St. Pete. So If you need a rib grilled or an ad designed, I’m your girl.
