Every year the time goes by faster and faster! I can’t believe that we are all ready in the sixth month of the year and half of 2011 is all ready passed. We had a great 5 Bridge Run last month and at press time we are gearing up for the 3rd Annual Freedom Fest that will be held in the City of Oldsmar on May 27-29.

June brings us one of our most anticipated and best events of the year. The Annual “Sore Ass Run” will take place on June 11-12 and travel from the Harley-Davidson store in New Port Richey to Mardi Gras Sports Bar in Saint Augustine. This will be the 14th year that we have held this event and it is a blast! We ride all day and party all night! The cost is $35 per person and includes a poker hand, t-shirt, patch and certificate (additional poker hands are available for $5 each. There is also a $60 couples special). The run happens rain or shine (and it usually rains somewhere) and you should make hotel reservations asap (see ad on page 7 of this magazine). Come on and join us for a motorcycle run you will not soon forget!

Have you had the chance to watch FullThrottleVision on your computer? We have resurrected our TV show and we now stream it LIVE every Thursday night from 7:00pm till 8:00pm (give or take a few minutes). We have specials guests every week and we talk about everything from motorcycles to politics to events to the weather. We stream the show all week long so if you miss the live version, just go to www.FullThrottleVision.com and watch the replay!

I want to take this time to wish Tracy a very happy 15th Anniversary this month and I want to send birthday wishes out to my son Paul Michael (6/3), Big Al (6/21) and my wonderful granddaughter Ashlynn who turns six on June 27. Have a great month and please ride carefully!

June is always hot as hell! I was looking around at all the event calendars and there is not much going on. I know the Full Throttle Soaked and Sore Ass Poker run is June 11th and that goes from here to St. Augustine. Then there are a few benefit runs happening in this area, one for Shirl Hannagan and one for Jim Zimmers. Then there is our Military Appreciation cover event happening on June 26th at St. Pete Powersports. But you know the weather forecast for all these events right now….30%-40% chance of rain and HOT! It’s all good, that’s Florida, If you don’t like the weather…just wait 5 minutes and it will change.

Full ThrottleVision is really fun! We have done 3 episodes as of when I am writing this article and each show gets better and better and we are getting a few more people watching every week. You can see it LIVE and comment on the show as we are broadcasting on our website www.FullThrottleVision.com. We are looking for beautiful women who would like to sit in and talk about biker stuff and anyone who is interested in being a guest. Commercials are running $250 for a :30 and will run 2-3 times per episode. They will also run on the replay and if you contact me, we will put a linking banner on the page also. Check us out and let us know what you think at fullthrottlevision@ gmail.com

Full Throttle Magazine is joining up with The Dunedin Blue Jays to host one of the biggest cash prize bike shows to happen in this area since the Florida Motorcycle Expo. We will be giving away $1,750 in CASH on July 2nd. The prizes will be $1,000 for best in show, $250 for best paint, $250 for judge’s choice and $250 for player’s choice. Radical Randy and Full Throttle will be hosting this bike night and bike show. For more info contact us at Full Throttle Magazine 813-814-1424. Second, we are hosting a new FRIDAY BIKE NIGHT called FULL THROTTLE FRIDAY’S at Quaker Steak and Lube on the 4th Friday of each month. We will be giving away a 55” TV and the Dive Bar Stalkers will be rockin’ the night away! The Bike night is from 6pm-10pm and is going to be hosted by Charlie Humphries from Full Throttle. Last, but not least, we have a few new bike nights to check out. One of them is every Thursday night at HOT TICKET in Clearwater. You will be able to sign up for their ticket give-a-way each week. The other one is EVERY FRIDAY night at Double Wide Saloon. This is a great bar where the girls are hot and love to dance on the bar…..yes like the other place that does the same thing, but the Double Wide Saloon does it much better!

I would like to say happy birthday to a few special people out there, first is my Brother Paulie on June 3rd, next is Big Al on June 21st and last is my adorable daughter ASHLYNN BROOKE on June 27th who will be the big SIX. Happy birthday everyone and Happy Father’s day to my Dad and Grandfather who are both amazing individuals and huge role models in my life. Be safe, ride smart and don’t drink and ride!

HARLEY-DAVIDSON TO BECOME A SPONSOR OF THE 2011 HOKA HEY MOTORCYCLE CHALLENGE New Sponsor for 2011 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge Announced

The Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge announced today that Harley-Davidson Motor Company will provide marketing and promotional support for the 2011 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge.

The Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge will present the world’s greatest long distance endurance motorcycle event in August of 2011. The event, the second annual in a series, will begin in Phoenix, Arizona and travel through all fortyeight contiguous States and Canada to Nova Scotia. The route will travel over 10,000 miles requiring passion and determination to complete. The event is open to all riders of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Riders can ride the entire route or segments within the route.

“We’re excited about what the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge represents to our riders,” said Steve Piehl, Harley-Davidson Director of Customer Experience. “The new direction of being more about a personal test of touring endurance, where rider and machine stretch the boundaries of long-distance touring, appeals to us. It’s a perfect match for the superior touring experience and capabilities of HarleyDavidson motorcycles. ‘Hoka Hey’ translates to ‘It’s a good day to ride!’ and that is always the case on a Harley.”

“The Hoka Hey is about being the greatest endurance motorcycle event ever held and we are very excited to become associated with the greatest motorcycles ever built,” said Jim Red Cloud, founder of the Hoka Hey Challenge. “HarleyDavidson’s support and guidance will certainly enhance this ambitious event.”

The first twenty-five participants to reach the finish and who ride the complete stipulated route will be recognized as winners and be eligible for monetary awards. Each rider will have the opportunity to designate a selected “home HarleyDavidson dealership” when they enroll. The home dealers of the top five finishers will be eligible for awards and recognition alongside the riders.

There will be fifteen check points along the route located at Harley-Davidson dealers where participants must check in as they ride the route. In addition to being an event sponsor, Harley-Davidson is exploring hosting a check point at the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

For further information about the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge or to obtain enrollment information, visit the event’s web site www.hokaheychallenge.com or contact the office at 480-649-1071 or info@hokaheychallenge.com.

Classic Bike Ramblings "Italians"..........."First's".......... and "Simple Men"

Even us legends have dreams and desires, things we want to do but have not,our very own "firsts�, things we still want to invent ,things we want to learn and events to observe and as I looked up in the sky and saw that big silver airplane flying by I thought to myself how it must have felt to be the first person to fly, to take that first flight or to even have observed the first flight, what a memory they had.

What I mean to say my good friends is that we all remember some of our very own firsts. The first kiss, the first motorcycle we rode, our first concert and your first love, the first Guzzi "Norge" time we watched men walk on the moon. But as we all know some of our "firsts" are not so good, some in war remember their first near miss or the first "hit" or our first visit to the dentist, and some "firsts" can be deadly such as the first time you run out of fuel in an airplane.

We also tend to remember our firsts of technology of any era, our first CD player, our first fuel injected ride, that first amazing stop with disc brakes or for some when propellers gave way to jets. And it's interesting that my collecting and infatuation with a certain brand of motorcycles has to do with some amazing firsts and of airplanes.

Moto Guzzi just the name evokes a lore and mystique even from people that only know a minimal amount about motorcycles. Many times I hear "Look at that Moto Guzzi" or "Wow, an old Guzzi". But there's always been a romanticism this bike evokes more so than so many others, as many Italian things tend to do. And it's a company that has hung on to become the oldest European motorcycle manufacturer in the world. It’s played a huge and vital role in Italy’s' place in history as a leader in fine racing and touring motorcycles of today with an amazing array of firsts.

Moto Guzzi was started by two airplane pilots and their mechanic who had all served together in the Italian Air Corps during World War I. Three men who were assigned to the same aero squadron near Venice would all have the same dream after the wars end. Carlo Guzzi, Giovanni Ravelli and Giorgio Parodi, would form G.P. (Guzzi-Parodi) but the name would only be affixed to the first few bikes. The name would be changed to Moto Guzzi. Carlo Guzzi would engineer and innovate and Parodi who came from a very wealthy shipping family would finance and handle affairs of the company and Ravelli who was already a world renowned pilot and motorcycle racer would put them on the map through racing, but alas as with many dreams they don't all come true. Ravelli would be killed in an airplane crash just days after the war ended and Guzzi and Parodi would commemerate their friends vision and dream in the company with the Eagle Wings that form the Moto Guzzi logo even today.

Guzzi would be formed through incorporation that was legally based in Genoa, Italy on March 15th. 1921 although its headquarters would be located elsewhere. Since its beginning in 1921 Guzzis home has been located on a branch of Lake Como in Mandello del Lario. Today it is a maze of multi story buildings encompassing 580,000 square feet and

building 10,000 motorcycles a year. Also in this complex is the renowned Moto Guzzi museum, the historic wind tunnel and their vast library. Carlos' brother Velvet Jones & Mr. 500 Giuseppe would be on the ground breaking GT "Norge" during the 1928 Artic Circle ride. Stanley Woods would help capture countless Isle of Man TT wins for the marque and Bill Lomas would win the 55 and 56 350 cc World Championships defeating a huge field of multi cylinder bikes on his wind tunnel faired single cylinder Guzzi.

Many other names and motorcycles grace the museum in Mandello that brought so many victories and firsts to a company formed by aviators who had a dream of building their first motorcycle together, and I feel very fortunate to be the caretaker of a few of them.

It was at the Ride for Kids event at Quaker Steak and Lube I was having an in depth conversation with my friend Radical Randy as to whether the girl in the short mini-skirt was hotter than the chick in the short-shorts, when Ruthie a friend of ours asked why I had a mirror under my 1946 Moto Guzzi Superalce? And with that I explained to her that Moto Guzzi in 1928 designed and built the very first swing arm suspension, an idea that all modern motorcycles of any flavor have copied. In 1928 traveling long distances on a motorcycle was near impossible as any suspension that offered comfort of that era compromised handling to the point of danger. Carlo Guzzi and his brother Giuseppe designed an elastic frame using a steel box mounted under the horizontal single cylinder head.

It contained 4 springs together with a swing arm in tubes and joined by sheet metal. The Gran Turismo (GT) "Norge" would be the first bike to receive this suspension and in an effort to gain publicity and to test and prove this design the brothers would go on a challenging 4000 mile ride from Mandello del Lario to the Arctic Circle in Northern Cape Nord, Norway. Now don't forget my purveyors of history this was 1928 and the condi-

1946 Guzzi "Superalce"

tions of Europe’s' roads were just above that of donkey 1955 Guzzi V8 trails, and our fearless rider Giuseppe Guzzi would make it in four weeks. So with that my friends Moto Guzzi could claim that it invented the first modern rear swing arm suspension and transformed the motorcycle into an everyday mode of transportation that it is today, ask that guy on a hard tail how "it use to be"? Moto Guzzi would design the first prototype shaft drive; although it would be BMW to first put it in production. First linked brakes, first cartridge forks, first motorcycle with a center stand (1921 "Normale"), first motorcycle manufacturer to use AGM batteries and the first truck-motorcycle hybrid the "Ercole" made in 1928 and capable of carrying 800lbs.First large wheel scooter ever, there were so many other firsts through the companies history it could fill several pages.

The year would be 1950 when Guzzi whose heart and soul were truly made up of "airplane minds" would build the first motorcycle wind tunnel capable of testing full size prototypes, and this would allow them to market the world’s first integral fairing.

It also allowed them to refine and observe the airstreams around the bike, reduce frontal area and friction, optimize air drag and get better fuel economy and this would lead to one of Guzzis' greatest achievements and some say its first folly.

The Moto Guzzi Grand Prix DOHC V8 in 1955 it used the very first dual overhead cam V-8 motorcycle engine. It was an amazing 500 cc V8 racing machine with two valves per cylinder it put out 80HP at 12,000 RPM, about 20 percent more that its main competitor the MV Augusta and Gilera V-4's. (Ducati would not be building "large cc" motorcycles yet) The V8 Guzzi hit over 172 MPH and it would be over 30 years before that speed would ever be seen again on the Grand Prix Racing Circuit. Its sound was amazing when it ran, but the "Otto Cilindri" was complex and expensive to build, very difficult to ride and control at speed and by 1957 with the two bikes available no one would ride them and development was soon focused on its 90 degree transverse vee twin that would start the company’s' second chapter.

1967 would become known as the SIEMM years Guzzi would be under government control for the next 6 years. The new transverse vee twin would be designed by the same man that came up with the mythical V8 Grand Prix Racer. It began life as a 700 cc 45 HP engine in an effort to win the Italian governments competition for a new police motorcycle, which it won and the Guzzi Ambassador 750 and Eldorado 850 went on for many years to be a staple of many of Americas' police forces such as LAPD, Dallas and Atlanta to name a few. The basic original 1967 engine has been developed and upgraded to the 1200 cc engine offered today. Guzzi would be brought from state

control by Alejandro de Tomaso who was famous for building sports and luxury cars. He got it in a package deal with Maserati and Benelli. In the 27 year period De Tomaso owned the company (73-2000) the 850 lemans, the V35/V65/ V75/ and many ground breaking bikes would be built. It would be in these years that Guzzi would hit many other firsts.

The 71 HP "Convert" built between 1975 and 1982 would be one. This 110 Mph transverse Vee twin would use a 2 speed Sachs torque converter that would make it the first production automatic motorcycle, arriving on the market before the Honda 750 or 400 automatics and the Suzuki 450 auto. The year 2000 would find motorcycle builder Aprilia buying Guzzi for 65 million dollars, but about the same time that these two motorcycle companies were merging the R & D racing programs and their technology, Italy would make National laws requiring helmets for motorcyclists and huge insurance rates for teenage riders.

Even in these slow sales years Aprilia would renovate and upgrade the Guzzi facility and turned down an offer to buy the struggling enterprise from Ducati Motor Holdings. But in the year 2004 Piaggio would buy Aprilia thereby acquiring Moto Guzzi and would become Europe’s largest motorcycle manufacturer.

In keeping with how airplanes have interacted and affected motorcycling, mostly through amazing innovations and the R&D that aviators have brought to us from their industry or sometimes vice versa, Airplanes and "firsts" would also affect us in other ways. I was at Plant City Bike Night talking to a friend of mine Scott and I would hear the band, a very talented duo goes into the first notes of "Simple Man". I had just entered high school, the world of girls, surfing, dirt bikes and the awesome KZ 650, and in High School I would begin to first listen to the music that has become a bike event staple and southern bikers favorite, and that would be the music of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

The band would be formed in the 1960's when five friends Ronnie Van Zant, Gary Rossington, Allen Collins, Leon Wilkeson and Bob Burns (who would be replaced by Artimis Pyle in 1974) would play as the group "My Backyard" at Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville, Fla. In 1969 their name would become "Leonard Skinnerd" in a jab at their gym teacher Coach Leonard Skinner. Billy Powell who had become a "roadie" for the band in 1970 would be their keyboard player two years later when ,to the bands amazement he would sit down at a piano he was moving and play what would turn out to be the intro to the epic song Freebird. It would be 1972 when the producer of Blood, Sweat and Tears would have them change the spelling to Lynyrd Skynyrd and sign them to MCA records, their first album was self titled and contained "Freebird, Simple Man and Tuesdays Gone" among others. The group enjoyed big-

ger success every year performing at the biggest shows and arenas worldwide.

On Oct. 17th. 1977 they would release Street Survivors which immediately sold 500,000 copies and would propel them to becoming possibly America’s biggest band. Their tour to promote this album would be their largest ever.

Starting in Miami on Oct. 15th.

It would end 32 stops later with a double show in Honolulu on Feb. 1st. 1978. It’s always to this day been an interesting side note that the cover of this epic album would have the band surrounded by fire and inside would be an order form for a Lynyrd Skynyrd "survival kit".

Well, my 78 loyal fans of Southern Rock what does a band need to accomplish such an amazing tour, to move management, roadies, and friends from city to city?

Yes, you got it, an airplane. The airplane chosen was a 1948 Convair 240 the third one built of that model. It was delivered to Western Airlines on Dec. 30th. 1948 and registered NC 8401H. After going through a few owners and racking up 29,000 flight hours it was purchased by the L & J Company of Addison Texas and registered N55VM. Its also documented that this very plane had been inspected by Aerosmiths flight crew for use in their early summer tour of 1977. In fact Steve Tyler and Joe Perry really lobbied for this very plane, but it was felt that neither the plane nor crew were up to standards. In an interview Zunk Buker Aerosmiths assistant chief of flight operations at the time recalls seeing the pilots , 34 year old Walter McCreary and 32 year old William Gray Jr. both employees of Falcon Aviation trading a bottle of Jack Daniels back and forth while Buker and crew were inspecting the plane. It would be on the flight from Lakeland Fl. to Greensville, S.C. that a sound tech would see a six foot flame shooting out of the right side 1200Hp Pratt Whitney R-2800 engine.

It was decided that the band would get rid of this plane when it reached the concert in Baton Rouge at the Louisiana University School scheduled for the Friday night Oct 21st 1977. Cassie Gaines (Steve’s older sister and back up singer) had wanted to ride to this next gig in the equipment truck, but she was talked out of it.

The plane would depart Greenville Downtown Airport around 4 PM (ET) on Oct. 20th. 1977 enroute to Ryan Airport in Baton Rouge LA. The Convair 240 would contain 2 pilots and 24 passengers. It would be a routine flight route using instrument flight rules and radio

navigation.

The pilot would request an altitude of 12,000 feet and an estimated flight time of two hours and 43 minutes.

The airplane was thought to have 5 hours of fuel on board and clear and calm weather was expected for the entire route. Well my interested friends it would be around 6:42 PM (ET) when Houston center would be contacted by one of the pilots.

"Yes sir we need to get to an airport, the closet airport you've got sir".

Houston asked if they were declaring an emergency, to which the pilots reply was “Yes sir, we are low on fuel and just about out of it, we want vectors to Mc Comb". They were advised to turn to a heading of 250 degrees and then the Convair 240 pilot said “We are not declaring an emergency but we do need to get close to Mc Combs as straight and good as we can get sir, post haste sir !" 60 seconds later the crew of "Air Skynyrd" would call Houston air control with this transmission. "55 Victor Mike we are out of fuel". The tower replied "Roger, understand you are out of fuel?" The pilot of N55 VM replied “I’m sorry, it’s just an indication of it" but with no further explanation to a very confused Houston tower.

Air controllers would ask the flights present altitude and would receive "We are at four point five" and that my sad friends were the last conversation between Lynyrd Skynyrds Convair 240 and Houston air control.

A few minutes later the sound of an emergency location transmitter could be heard by local aircraft. It would be broadcasting from a remote, wooded and swampy area five miles outside Gilsburg, Mississippi and for my generation, in my circle of friends it was truly "The day the music died" for you see; my first real concert was on Oct. 16th. 1977 at the Bayfront Center in St. Petersburg where I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd play.

Four nights later they would be gone. "Street Survivors" would be released Oct. 17th.

And the next day they would play Lakeland Civic Center as their second to last show on Oct. 18th.

Lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist/vocalist, Steve Gaines, backing vocalist, Cassie Gaines, ass't road manager, Dean Kilpatrick and pilot Walter McCreary and co-pilot William Gray Jr. were all killed on impact. Guitarist Allen Collins had two cracked vertebrae in his neck and both he and bass player Leon Wilkeson nearly had arms amputated as a result of the crash, in addition Leon had severe internal injuries, a punctured lung and most of his teeth knocked out. Billy Powell would find his nose barely attached to his face and leg lacerations. Guitarist Gary Rossington broke both of his arms, his right leg and pelvis along

"If I leave here tomorrow, will you still remember me?"

Drummer Artimus Pyle and an engine malfunction of undetermined nature in the crawled out of the wreckage with "several ribs sticking out" right engine which resulted in "torching" and higher than of him along with two road crew members; they would normal fuel consumption." There should have been 240 hike through the swampy gallons of fuel in the plane at woods and flag down impact, NTSB investigators Convair 240 Johnny Mote the farmer recovered 1 quart. of the land adjoining

Due to this lack of fuel the crash site. The thick there was no fire as the plane swamp hindered rescue ripped apart on impact and operations and a 20 foot that saved most everyone wide waist deep creek on board, and did not play needed to be crossed at the prophetic cover of to get to the survivors.

Folon your first motorcycle ride (my mom did at 78) or go your lowing the crash Street Survivors would become the first day without a bands second platinum album. The original cover cigarette, its nevsleeve for the album (the band engulfed in flames) er too late to start would be substituted with a similar image of the band having "firsts" I against a black background. Lynyrd Skynyrd disbanded also highly recafter this. And as of this writing Artimis Pyle and Gary ommend that you Rossington are the only two left of the "pre crash Skynyrd" remember some still on earth Collins/ Wilkeson and Powell are gone. firsts of your past Powell would play keyboards on Kid Rocks 2007 hit "All you may find out Summer Long" which used "Sweet Home Alabama" as its your a bigger structure.

And if neto (it provides you happen to be spark and timing riding your moto the engine) that torcycle and see seemed to be the an airplane flying primary cause of above, remember our rock n rollhow much we ers crash, and its share with our interesting to note brothers in flight. We my good readers are the sum of so that the pilots had many firsts, are we not? intended to replace To view a few video links of the Moto Guzzi this small power V-8 in action and a couple of MR 500's favorite Skygenerator in Baton nryrd tunes go to http://floridafullthrottle.com/ Rouge but that mr300/mr500.html would not have mattered as the P.S. If you would like to contact me and discuss any article band had already or ideas for future atricles you can e-mail me at decided the night before that they would buy their "first "Lear Jet and a new tour bus.

They had a huge album and were on their biggest national headlining tour of their lives, so why not?

It seems the malfunctioning magneto fooled the pilots into making an exceptionally rich air/fuel mixture causing them to burn 25 gals. An hour more fuel (the Convair 240 burned 183 gal. per hour normally) this was compounded by miscalculating the fuel load at previous stops, basically causing N 55VM to literally run out of gas. Some said the pilots panicked and dumped the fuel. Some say they had been up all night snorting cocaine and some say they had a bad fuel gauge and did not manually check the fuel tanks (this could be a big part of it) but the official accident report said " The National Transportation and Safety Board determined the probable cause of the accident was fuel exhaustion and total loss of power from both engines due to crew inattention to fuel supply contributing to the Actual Photo From Crash Site fuel exhaustion were inadequate flight planning

JACOB’S LADDER

The name Jacob continued its 12-year run as the most popular name for baby boys in 2010 according to the list complied by the Social Security Administration. Nearly 22,000 boys were named Jacob followed by Ethan, Michael, Jayden and William. The fastest growing name was Bentley who shot up 414 spots in the year. One of the reasons that Bentley was so popular was due to the MTV reality shows “16 and Pregnant & Teen Mom” who have used the name on the programs.

MARY JANE

Police in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales raided a nightclub that had been converted into a marijuana farm. As they stood guard out front, thieves broke through the rear door, stuffed approximately 50 plants into trash bags and took off. Their haul was worth about $5,000 and the police department had a lot of explaining to do the next morning!

TAXI!!!

So much for “Buying in the USA” ....

New York City signed a deal to have Japanese manufacturer Nissan supply taxi’s for the next ten years. The company beat out Ford and Karsan USA for the rights. Nissan will use the NV200 minivans for the fleet.

GOODYEAR Goodyear plans to replace their three US Airships with bigger, faster blimps. The Akron, Ohio based company is working with German manufacturer ZLT Zeppelin Luftschiffechnik and will have new airships in 2013 - 2014.

The units will be built in Akron and cost around $21-million each!

STADIUM DOO-DADS Da-da-da-da ... da-da! Charge!

We’ve all heard that cheer during sporting events at high schools, college and pro games.

It is played over and over .... time and time again .... no matter if the home team is ahead or behind! However, that could change as Mr. Bobby Kent of Pompano Beach, Florida says he wrote the jingle and wants to get paid every time it is used. He holds the copyright to the song that he named “Stadium DooDads” in the late 1970’s. He has mailed a letter to every professional team and only the Los Angeles Lakes basketball team has paid him so far. He is also suing ASCAP.

ST. PETE TIMES

The St.Petersburg Times ranked as the largest newspaper in Florida by over 141,000 copies over the Tampa Tribune, Orlando Sentinel, Miami Herald, Palm Beach Post, South Florida Sun Sentinel and the Florida Times Union. The St. Pete Times is also the 13th largest Sunday newspaper in the country and is ranked the 18th largest weekday paper in the USA. It was the only newspaper in Florida to rank in the top twenty-five in either category. The Wall Street Journal remained the top daily paper followed by the USA Today.

ISABELLA On the female side, Isabella was the most popular name for girls during 2010. It was the second straight year that the name topped the list. Nearly 23,000 girls were named Isabella followed by Sophia, Emma, Olivia and Ava. The fastest rising name? Once again via the influence of MTV’s “16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom” programs the name Maci jumped 423 spots.

Maci Bookout has starred in the program and her baby’s name is Bentley.

SHOW ME THE MONEY To keep up with inflation, the state of Florida will raise the minimum wage by 6 cents starting on June 1st. The new minimum wage will now be $7.31 per hour and affect about 188,000 workers.

If you do the math, a person working a 40-hour week will earn an additional $128 per year. The minimum rate for workers (like bartenders and waiters) who earn tips will increase from $4.23 per hour to $4.29 per hour.

What made you decide to do this event?

A customer came up and brought the idea to me after he just bought a new bike. He was deployed shortly after and we decided to store his bike at our place like we would do for any military guys. He, in turn, came back and came up with the idea to have a big military appreciation day at St. Pete Powersports. We sat down at Quaker one Bike Night and figured out how to get it done and here we are today.

Were you ever in Military?

Yes, I was in The United States Navy. I was stationed on two different ships. The first one was The U.S.S. Samuel Elliot Morrison FFG-13 and the second ship was the U.S.S. Estocin FFG-15.

What is this event about or what charity are you raising money for?

This event is not for a charity. It is to show appreciation and to give thanks to the people who fight for us everyday and their families. People don’t realize the sacrifices they make. I want everyone to come here and enjoy themselves and say thank you to the military and we want to have a chance to give back.

What do you plan at doing at this event?

We have a ton going on all day for the entire family. There will be live entertainment by JT Curtis. We are also going to do a Military themed pin up girl contest, a ride in bike show and military themed bike show, face painting, bounce houses, dunk tanks, spongebob, $500 Visa card give-away, McDill has their honor guard coming out to do a presentation and someone singing the national anthem. There will be free food and drinks for military personnel and their families and numerous other food vendors on hand. We will also have some military vehicles in the lot to check out and much, much more.

Hi All I just sat down to write something…. We went to North and South Carolina for a weeks vacation. We stopped at some nice bars up there like The Suck, Bang, Blow and The Spokes & Bones Saloon. Yes, I took off a week early but Myrtle Beach Bike Week just started the weekend we decided to come home. Also we went to see some of the NASCAR shops, like DEI and JR’s. Also went to see Dale’s hometown and saw the 9 foot statue they have of him. Neat place for NASCAR fans to visit.

I would like everyone to know that after supporting ABATE for many years and not being a member the reason was I can write anything or say anything is because no one could say I took up for them because I was a member like I was accused of at one time but now I am a life member thanks to Hillsborough County ABATE thanks a lot guys and gals. I will try to be a good member! ABATE is the largest and only motorcycle group that shows up in Tallahassee FL our state capital to promote safety and rights for bikers. I also understand we are the fourth largest in the nation and have a voice in Washinton D.C. This is a great group without them I don’t think we could enjoy the freedom that we do. So I would like to urge everyone to join to protect our rights and build a greater ABATE! Now that I am a member I guess I should stop teasing Doc Fish the VP. The only time he is happy

is when it rains, the rest of the time he is like a fish out of the water. HAHA Keep up the good work Doc. My friend Ed Tooley had an accident, I want you to get well soon so I can come give you a hard time.

Press Release

David “Lockdown” Rich Public Relations Trustee, ABATE of Florida, Inc. 386.490.4821 FAX: 396.490.4482 statepr@abateflorida.com www.ABATEFlorida.com

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Motorcyclist’s Killer to Be Sentenced, a Year and a Half Later Seminole County, FL, May 18, 2011 – Over a year and a half ago, Ruth Perez was allegedly driving under the influence when she slammed into three vehicles killing “Diamond” Dave Mackish in the process. She was arrested and charged with DUI with Serious Bodily Injury, DUI and Causing Damage or Injury, and DUI Manslaughter. After numerous hearings at the Seminole County Courthouse since the September 2009 fatal crash, Ruth Perez has finally entered a plea of GUILTY to all charges. Judge Donna Mackintosh allowed Perez to remain free on bond until the June 17, 2011 sentencing, however, she specifically required that Perez cannot possess or consume any alcohol, and cannot operate a motor vehicle. Judge Mackintosh also made the June 17, 2011 sentencing mandatory for Perez to attend, possibly since Perez had missed many of the previous hearings.

According to those in the courtroom during the May 16th hearing, Perez is subject to being sentenced between four and twenty-one years.

ABATE of Florida, Inc. is asking that motorcyclists show support by attending the upcoming sentencing on June 17, 2011 at 1:30 pm in Seminole County’s Justice Building’s Courtroom 5C. ABATE of Florida’s Brevard County Chapter will be attending this hearing; contact the Brevard County Chapter Secretary Jonell Pope at 321-698-5077 for more information.

---

ABATE of Florida, Inc. is Florida’s largest Motorcyclists’ Rights Organization, and one of the top four largest nationwide. ABATE of Florida members come from all walks of life and include many elected officials. Our missions are to educate the public about motorcycle awareness and continuing to fight in Tallahassee for the rights of every motorcyclist and the public in general. To aid in these ends, we have an exclusive lobbyist and have founded the Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Program, both with the intentions to help make the roads safer for everyone.

Four blondes walk into a restaurant chanting, “28 days, 28 days...it only took us 28 days!” They are ready to celebrate as they laugh and take a table.

Everyone was wondering what took them 28 days and why they so happy, laughing, drinking and celebrating. Finally, when the four blondes were about to leave, a waiter goes up to them and fi nally asks, “What took you 28 days that you had to come out and celebrate?”

The blondes say, “We just fi nished a puzzle in 28 days and on the box it said 3-6 years!!!”

*******************************************

An employee says to his boss, “Excuse me sir, may I talk to you? The boss says yes and he sits down and asks what he can do for him.

The guy says, “Well sir, as you know, I have been an employee of this prestigious fi rm for over ten years, so I won’t beat around the bush. I would like a raise because currently I have four companies after me so I decided to talk to you fi rst.”

The boss looks at him and says, “A raise? I would love to give you a raise, but this is just not the right time.”

The guys says, “I understand your position, and I know that the current economic down turn has had a negative impact on sales, but you must also take into consideration my hard work, pro-activeness and loyalty to this company for over a decade.”

The boss answers, “Taking into account these factors, and considering I don’t want to start a brain drain, I’m willing to off er you a ten percent raise and an extra fi ve days of vacation time. How does that sound?

The guy smiles and says, “Great! It’s a deal! Thank you, sir!

The boss then says, “Before you go, just out of curiosity, what companies were after you?

The guy says, “Oh, the Electric Company, Gas Company, Water Company and the Mortgage Company!”

A truck driver stopped at a roadside café and was having his dinner when a bunch of bikers came in. One sat on one side of the driver, another sat on the other side. The truck dtiver said nothing and continued to eat. One biker took the fries off his plate and ate them the other biker took his apple pie and ate that. Then another biker took his cigar and dropped it into his coff ee. The bikers waited for the truck driver to say something.

Instead he got up, went over and very quietly paid his bill and walked out and got into his truck.

The bikers were laughing and one said to the waitress, “He wasn’t no man, took all that and never said or did anything, what a wimp.’

The waitress just laughed and said, “He’s not much of a driver either, he just drove over eight motorcycles!”

A funeral service is being held in a synagogue for a woman who has just passed away. At the end of the service, the pallbearers are carrying the casket out when they accidentally bump into a wall jarring the casket. They hear a faint moan. They open the casket and fi nd that the woman is actually alive. She lives for 10 more years and then dies. A ceremony is again held at the same synagogue and at the end of the service the pallbearers are again carrying out the casket. As they are walking, the husband cries out, “Watch out for the wall!” ********************************************* The preacher says to his congregation, “Today you all are going to help me preach. When I say a word I want you to think of the fi rst hymn that comes to your mind.”

The congregation nods and the preacher yells out, “Cross!” immediately the congregation began to sing “That Old Rugged Cross”. Then the preacher shouted out, “Grace!” and the congregation starts to sing “Amazing Grace”. Then to everyone’s surprise the preacher shouts out, “Sex!” Suddenly the congregation is embarrassed and very silent.

Finally from the back of the church a little old grandmother stands up and begins to sing, “Precious Memories…..” *********************************************

STRANGE SIGNS:

********************************************* A biker was riding through the city but had had a few too many and was weaving all over the road. A cop pulls him over and asks, “Where have you been?”

“I’ve been down at the Road Kill Bar”, he slurs. The cop says, “Well it looks like you had quite a few.” He stands up with arms folded and then says to the biker, “By the way, did you know that three intersections back your wife fell off the bike?”

The biker looks at the cop wide eyed and says, “Oh thank God, for a minute there I thought I went deaf.”

I know you guys haven't heard from me for awhile and that's all my fault. After losing one of my best friends and mentors "Brother Bert." I've done a lot of soul searching of my own. I know now the good Lord wants me to continue on riding hard and enjoying life. I think the biggest joy I have is trying to help other people. I started this month with a poker run and benefit for Sue and David Beaver, who both lost their right legs due to medical condition. David was an avid rider who's determined to ride again. I know he will. A good friend Todd I've worked with for years has also had a motorcycle accident and after two and a half years he's finally going to lose his foot. Being an amputee myself and with the help and support of American Orthotech we're starting a support group. Our first meeting will be in July. You can call me for dates and times. 386-299-9364.

Two weeks ago sitting in my doctor's office, my doctor told me I needed to go straight to the emergency room. I'm still having serious heart problems. Instead I looked to the good Lord and decided I needed a road trip. A few good friends and I jumped on the Harleys and headed to the Keys for a couple of days. It seems a lot of the chest pains and the stress was relieved for those days. I put 1100 miles on in two days. Now I'm back, saying a prayer and headed to the emergency room. I know doctors only practice medicine and my God is my true healer. With your prayers I know everything will be just fine. One thing is I know I'll have my phone on me so give me a shout at any time. Remember it's never to late to seek Jesus in your life and probably one of the easiest things you'll ever do. Till next time ride sober and safe!
