The Seminole Tribe of Florida is a great supporter of this amazing, world-class motorcycle parade and event and having it here in our own backyard makes such a difference for Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital.

CARB WANTS TO TEST MOTORCYCLES– The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has submitted a proposal to expand the state’s vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) program in part by subjecting high-mileage vehicles to annual inspections and including motorcycles for the first time. The CARB proposal was included in a draft state plan to achieve federal pollution standards.

CARB also intends to tighten new motorcycle exhaust and evaporative emissions standards by an additional 50 percent beginning with the 2013 model year. The Federal EPA used the current CARB standards as a basis for establishing stricter new emissions regulations that went into effect with the 2006 model year motorcycles with further reductions taking effect in 2010.

New T-shirts include the S&S Repeat Ringer and the new BodyParts logo featuring the famous S&S teardrop air cleaner on the back. The S&S Repeat is also available in pink or light blue for the ladies with a touch of glitter in the design.

TEES FOR OUR TROOPS–Some of our wounded troops are flown to our state-side military hospitals with nothing more than a hospital gown to wear. It is our goal to see that they at least have a BIKER shirt and a card or note waiting for them to say thanks and we love you and will be praying for you.

The best way to contribute is to gather what shirts you wish to donate and box them up and deliver or send them to:

Tees for our Troops
Columbia Baptist Association
1308 Ross Clark Circle
Dothan, AL 36301

We ask that you help us by sending only new or like new shirts, place them in a gallon zip-lock type bag, put a card or personal note inside and mark on the outside with a permanent marker the size. On the card or note you are welcome to put correspondence information and info about you and your club and maybe a photo of you and your ride.

Donations to help offset shipping would be greatly appreciated. Maybe $1 or $2 per shirt. You may want to include a current biker magazine as well. (We can’t afford to ship all your old mags, thanks, though.)

This effort was born in a conversation with a person with the USO. We are just sharing the vision and the blessing.We hope it doesnt offend anyone but our plans are to put a gospel track with each shirt and a New Testament Bible.

R-MAX USA BY ROADMAX SUPPORTS ST. FRANCIS H.S. CHOPPER BUILD–November 21, 2006, Ontario, CA – R-Max USA by Roadmax is assisting St. Francis High School in competing in the 2007 Donnie Smith Chopper Class Challenge by donating time, expertise, a transmission, chrome starter, 3-INCH open primary belt and a number of R-Max USA by Roadmax work shirts.

The Donnie Smith Chopper Class Challenge culminates at the 2007 Donnie Smith Invitational Bike Show on March 25 and 26th in the Saint Paul’s RiverCentre. The budding Chopper builders from St. Francis High School design and build a v-twin chopper motorcycle from the ground up.

Brent Stavig, St. Francis High School Metals Instructor, spearheads the program and has been overwhelmed by the response by the St. Francis community and the motorcycle industry. “It all started when we began welding up 50cc mini choppers,” explained Stavig. “Greg Stewart of the local Fat Boys Bar and Grill asked us if we wanted to build a real chopper and then donated money and assisted us in finding firms to partner with the kids. The result of this was an enormous amount of cooperation from the industry. Many companies donated parts, supplies, equipment, tools, knowledge and time to the project.”

Last year’s chopper was called the Iron Saint and won the People’s Choice award at the 2006 Donnie Smith Invitational Bike Show. The 2007 Chopper is already in the works and will depart from the old school look of the Iron Saint with a more contemporary look of a high-tech chopper.

“I have to hand it to Brent Stavig and the administration of St. Francis High School,” said Jaz Zbiegien, Sales and Marketing Director, R-Max USA by Roadmax. “They found the switch to turn the students on ‘I can see it in their eyes on each visit’ and create a real world environment where the students can perform, compete and succeed. Last year?s Iron Saint is an outstanding custom motorcycle and I am enthusiastically looking forward to the 2007 chopper.”

Some of the companies and individuals that have assisted in the project include Donnie Smith, Brian Klock, Billy Lane, Jaz from R-MAX USA by Roadmax, Kokesh Motorcycles, S&S, Denvers Chopper, Crane Cams, BAD Creations, Hardtails, Isanti Performance Cycle, Mutha Country Choppers, Olson Radiator, House of Color, Precision Line Motorsports, Extreme Paint, Stacks Creative Customs, Wreck Bros Auto Body & Paint and Zylstra Harley Davidson.

FANTASY IN IRON AIRCLEANERS-The original, the best and finest. I’ve known and run Dennis Goodsen aircleaners on custom bikes for decades. Then at the LA Calendar show an industry acquaintance approached me with a flier. He had copied Dennis’ product and was attempting to market it. I questioned him. I don’t get it. Why not design your own air cleaner? Watch out for this knock-off product under the name Magna something.

Makes me sick to hear these stories and we’re looking into publishing a line of stories like this to keep honor amoung the ranks. There’s just a few companies in our market choosing to steal projects from small manufacturers rather than to design their own. We’ll be investigating soon.

In the meantime you can purchase the original Goodsen Air Cleaners from Irish Rich at Shamrock Fabrication and Lick’s Cycle.
