A WEEKEND OF WHISKY, RUNS AND WOMEN! SUNDAY POST FOR JUNE 29TH 2014

 

 

With the Big Bosses all away working and playing at Smoke Out, Born Free, and J&P Cycles Open House and all the media cover on Facebook and Blogs from these events the emphasis is very much on the fun they are having.

 

I think we should give a big Thank You to those who stay behind and keep the magazines running smoothly and quietly keep working in the background!  ‘While the Cats Away the Mice do Play’ is definitely not the case as the Associate Editors and workers keep the day to day work going and also scramble to incorporate the reports from the shows, photos from the shows and more that we know you want to see.

 

Let’s be fair here, for the bosses working a show it is not all fun and play, a lot of actual work goes into being at a show with photo shoots, covering new products, interviewing up and coming builders and companies and Bike shows, and negotiating new deals for their magazines.  However, they make it look easy and fun which is partly due to their Type A personalities!! 

 

As the shows wrap up and we wait their return here is the Sunday Post with tantalizing glimpses of the fun and work from the various shows. –Mistress Chris

SmokeOut 15 the best all heart and soul motorcycle event on the planet sponsored proudly by the Horse mag and Bikernet! This event is dedicated to the code of the west and pure fun and motorcycles.

 

 

There’s no attitude or violence just lotsa home built bobbers and choppers, raucous behavior, racing, naked ladies, welding, painting and pinstriping classes, and this year, the chopper prom. Hang on for more reports. On a side note, the cross-country Stampede seemed larger than ever. The long road gang were rained on constantly but rode in smiling and now have a full bar in their tent!

Washington Weekly Updates — June 20, 2014

 

There were lots of fireworks this week with the IRS administrator testifying, the border crisis, Middle East issues etc. The fallout from the primary defeat of Eric Cantor seems to have settled. The Republicans have elected Cantor’s counterpart, Kevin McCarthy, as the new Majority Leader. McCarthy is a moderate from California. Steven Scalise from Louisiana will take on the position of whip. Scalise is a tea party conservative.

 

Our good friend, Representative Don Young, has found himself in a bit of hot water. He was convicted by the U.S. House Ethics Committee to be guilty of using campaign funds improperly since 2001 to the sum of $59,000.00. Young used the funds for personal use and failed to report campaign donations properly. Young is the fourth longest serving member in the U.S. House of Representatives. I can’t approve of what he did but he is still a great friend of motorcyclists.

 

An amendment to end the funding of roadside checkpoints is at the ready. Senators Shaheen (D-NH), Johnson (R-WI), Ayotte (R-NH) and Manchin (D-VA) have introduced an amendment with the U.S. Senate to prohibit the funding of motorcycle only roadside checkpoints by NHTSA. The bill that would be amended is an appropriations bill so the language expires with next years’ bill. The full bill was to be on the Senate floor as early as Tuesday, the 24th of June. However, the Majority in the Senate is insisting that all amendments need a 60-40 vote to pass and that the Minority would only be allowed to offer two amendments total out of the 150 that have been filed. The Minority refused this offer and the bill has been pulled for now.

The House Roadside Checkpoint bill (H.R. 1861) officially has 50 co-sponsors. Lets go for another 50! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey, I am having a blast at Born Free.– First time ever for me and this event is completely off the hook. The average age is around 30 and the energy is terrific. Good vibes all around, good people (younger and thinner) but mostly a subculture that has delved into the true roots of American motorcycling.

 

 

 

 

 

Drop your preconceived ideas you may have about today’s young riders and come to resource your passion at this show. There’s one day left!

 

 

 

 

 

Was walking on campus one day when another mountain-reared, engineering student rode up on a shiny new motorcycle.

 

“Where did you get such a rockin’ bike?” asked the first.

 

The second engineer replied, “Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, ‘Take what you want'”.

 

The second engineer nodded approvingly. “Good choice, the clothes probably wouldn’t have fit”. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes I know the following may sound prejudice BUT the Iron Order is Truly A Gang and they Hide Behind Their Badges. Member of Law Enforcement are reluctant to arrest them because they are members or retired law enforcement.

 

I feel it is important to follow this.

 

Remember the Cop who shot a Hells Angel in Sturgis because he was getting his ass beat in a fist fight.

An Iron Order Motorcycle Club prospect shot and killed a Black Pistons patch holder in the parking lot of a Jacksonville Beach, Florida restaurant named Nippers Beach Grille at about 8:15 last night. The murder appears to be the latest incident in an escalating conflict contrived by the Iron Order between that club and multiple one percenter clubs motorcycle clubs in the Southeast.

 

According to witnesses, the Iron Order prospect was involved in a fight with Black Piston Zachariah J. Tipton. After Tipton bloodied the prospect’s nose, the bloodied man pulled a gun and shot Tipton four times in the face. According to Jacksonville Beach Police Chief Patrick Dooley, the inciting altercation involved “five or six men.” Tipton was pronounced dead at the scene.

 

 

A witness named David Johnson who was interviewed on camera by television station WJXT said, “It is a bit surreal, because I did actually see the guy die. I saw his face. I saw him turning purple. I saw him convulsing. I saw the gun shot wound and the blood coming out. It was not expected, especially for this area.”

 

“There wasn’t a lot of yelling or fighting or screaming or chaos. Everyone was calm. The guy who shot the individual there was in an altercation because his nose was bloody but he surrendered peacefully and when someone asked who shot the guy he said ‘I did’ and didn’t try to run away or anything.”

 

Police took the prospect into custody at the scene but have not announced his name or if charges will be brought against him or if he has been released from custody. Police have said that there may be as many as 30 witnesses to the murder.

 

The shooting occurred midway through Nippers’ “Bike Night.” Nippers co-sponsors the Thursday night event with Adamec Harley-Davidson. The event promises half-priced wings and two dollar Budweisers. The restaurant markets itself as “family friendly.” It was previously owned by Kenny Gilbert who was a contestant on the Bravo reality show Top Chef.

 

 

The Iron Order describes itself as a “law abiding motorcycle club.” Numerous members of the club are sworn peace officers and reliable sources have said that at least some Iron Order patch holders are ATF agents. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has been in the forefront of the ongoing federal war on motorcycle clubs.

Club president Ray “Izod” Lubesky has frequently urged his club’s members to cooperate with police.

 

Following a confrontation between members of the Iron Order and the Bandidos Motorcycle Club in 2011 Lubesky told his club, “We will cooperate with LE and we will prosecute. We will take all steps necessary to protect ourselves and go on down the road.”

In 2012, Iron Order members from four states gathered to buzz by the American Outlaws Association clubhouse in Statesville, North Carolina. During that incident, the Iron Order pack was shadowed and protected by unmarked police cars from at least four police departments.

 

Earlier this month, a letter, attributed to Lubesky, asked Laconia, New Hampshire Police Chief Christopher Adams to “assist us when we call upon you” “if we encounter any problems with other clubs” during the annual Laconia Motorcycle Week event. That letter continued, “Just keep an eye out for the protection of our members. We do our best in security but 1%ers are lowlife, dirty scum who will do anything to harm us. We will cooperate with all law enforcement. Unlike traditional clubs, we will testify when called upon. We will stay only in populated areas where there are witnesses.”

 

 

 

Officials say a former Daytona Beach police officer will serve a three-year mandatory minimum prison sentence for dealing in Oxycodone.

 

The state attorney’s office in Daytona Beach says 51-year-old Anthony Annatone Jr. pleaded no contest to the drug charge and was found guilty on Wednesday.

 

The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports Annatone was also fined $50,000. The FBI conducted a two-year investigation into Annatone, which resulted in his arrest. His son, 26-year-old Aaron Annatone, pleaded no contest in March and was sentenced to 10 years in state prison.

My girlfriend doesn’t like my dog, so I appeal to you.

 

She is a purebred from a wealthy area and I have had her 4 years. She likes to play games.

 

Not totally trained. Has long hair so she’s a little high maintenance, especially the nails, but she loves having them done. Stays up all night yapping but sleeps while I work. Only eats the best, most expensive food. Will NEVER greet you at the door after a long day or give you unconditional love when you’re down. Does not bite but she can be mean as hell!

 

So……..anyone interested in my 30 year old, selfish, wicked, gold-digging girlfriend? Come and get her! Me and my dog want her re-homed!! 

 

 

 

Ride to Work Day 2014 is in the books and was a great success —  thanks to riders like you. Measuring participation world-wide isn’t easy, but from the volume of received messages and photos, as well as from the Facebook and Blogosphere, this year looks like it was the largest ever.

 

Planning is already underway for next year’s annual Ride to Work Day, which will be Monday, June 15th 2015. Until then, we hope you will continue to ride to work, and for your everyday errands, all through the year. All riders, and each ride increases public and governmental awareness about the benefits of riding.

 

Also, be sure to check out the Ride to Work webpage, where all of the new 2015 RTW Day promotional ads and a new poster soon will be available
