SOUTH FLORIDA ALL GIRLS MOTORCYCLE CLASS– For the first time in over 5 years, South Florida has scheduled an All Girl’s Motorcycle Class on April 19th and 20th. The Basic Rider Course is being held at the Southeast Florida Motorcycle Safety School in North Dade and is being coached by certified Rider Coaches Becky Cohen and Lizz Egan.
This class is presented with materials from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation and includes both classroom sessions and riding practice. Attendees expected are first time riders or those just interested in honing their skills or just “getting legal”. Riders will leave the class after successfully completing a written and riding evaluation and will be ready to have their motorcycles endorsements added to their driver’s license.
“Since we’ve started coaching we’ve been eager to share our passion for motorcycling with other women” said Becky Cohen. Lizz Egan added that since becoming a motorcycle rider — and subsequently an instructor — life has changed in many ways. “New friends, new vacations and the love of being outdoors and experiencing nature in new ways” are some of the reasons Lizz loves the world of biking.
Riders need show up with only the basics – sturdy pants and boots, eye protection and gloves. The SEFMSS will supply motorcycles, helmets and lunch. Becky Cohen added “For a nice change, we’re providing lunch on this class so that we have an opportunity to discuss everything from helmet hair to high heels during our break”.

MASTER REALIST ARTIST SCOTT JACOBS JOINS FORCES WITH ARLEN AND CORY NESS– (April 1, 2008 San Diego, Ca.) ? Celebrated artist Scott Jacobs announces that he is teaming up with the world?s foremost motorcycle customizers Arlen and Cory Ness on a national exhibition tour. The events will include such prominent motorcycle rallies as Myrtle Beach, Daytona, Sturgis and many more. The ?always innovate, never imitate? father and son team of Arlen and Cory Ness have been the guiding force of motorcycle customization for decades as their creations have graced the covers of every major motorcycle magazine in existence. Arlen and Cory?s bikes are typically the ?must see? display at most of the preeminent national and international custom motorcycle shows including Paris and Milan.
The tour will incorporate the unrivaled presentation of Ness creations and products along with a gallery style exhibit of Scott Jacobs most recent artworks depicting both his motorcycle and lifestyle imagery. Mr. Jacobs? works are highly sought after and renowned for their spectacular detail and photo-realistic qualities. His paintings and prints now reside in over twenty museums and in over sixty countries. Jacobs? private collectors list reads like the Who?s Who of the motorcycle industry as well as many celebrities.
Mr. Jacobs is honored to be part of this new collaboration and states: ?Arlen, Cory and I have been riding buddies and close friends for many years and it?s just very cool to finally get together on a tour and connect with our collectors and customers on a whole new level. It made a lot of sense to Arlen, Cory and me and I?m looking forward to the experience; it?ll be fun.?
Finally, Scott Jacobs has been chosen by Harley-Davidson Motor Co. to produce an official painting commemorating their 105th Anniversary this year ; I have seen the photo research for the work and it?s definitely a WOW painting. Hint: one of Scott?s daughters is depicted in the painting. We anticipate releasing the limited edition canvas around Sturgis. Keep your eyes peeled for a future alert and visual of this painting.

JAYBRAKE’S DEFENDER CALIPER–JAYBRAKE’S Defender is a locking system designed to prevent a motorcycle from moving and it is claimed not to cause damage if anyone tries to ride the bike before unlocking it.
After the existing caliper is removed, the Defender is mounted permanently on the front fork, and then the caliper is remounted on the Defender.
To lock the bike, the spring-loaded hardened stainless steel locking pin is inserted into the Defender and the bike needs to be rolled a few inches. This allows the pin to engage through one of the rotor holes. The bike is then immobilized.
The Defender will work with stock rotors as well as many aftermarket brands. Multiple models of Defender are available to ensure a direct bolt-on application for 1984 to current H-D models (excluding Springer). Defender models have also been developed to fit 2003 onward Victory motorcycle models.
The JayBrake Defender is available in polished, chromed, satin black anodized, and satin clear anodized finishes, and left and right side mounting versions.

SB-802 GENERAL BILL by Garcia (Compare HB-137)–“Motorcycles or Mopeds/Reckless Driving [EPCC]; Provides that if a person is operating or is in actual physical control of a motorcycle while driving recklessly, a law enforcement officer shall arrest the person, take him or her into custody, and seize the motorcycle. Requires that a person riding on a motorcyle or moped must ride while sitting astride the seat with one leg on each side and with both wheels on the ground at all times, etc.”
Fellow Freedom Fighters:Big Brother’s right to seize your motorcycle has come one step closer to becoming a reality in Florida and a nightmarish precedent for statehouses nationwide. Yesterday, HB-137’s companion bill SB-802 passed unanimously through the Florida State Senate Transportation Committee. Here is a verbatim report from Dara “Sam” McLain, who along with fellow bikers’ rights advocate Robert “RC” Conroy attended the meeting and spoke out against the bill:
Subject: SB 802 Hearing – reported by Dara “Sam” McLain
At the first hearing, I and others, protested that, among other things, this bill is one-sided. Their aim, they said, is to prevent senseless death of these Sport Bike riders. While we pointed out they were ignoring the senseless death of many more riders that happen daily at the hands of distracted drivers who go unpunished.
So, late last night, an amendment was added to SB 802, to stiffen the penalties of drivers who cause death or injury to another through a traffic violation. For whatever reason – a dangling carrot, an honest concern, whatever – it was added to this bill. However, and far more importantly, SEIZURE is still very much alive in this bill. Fine me $1000, give me jail time, take away my endorsement for a period of time, but the government does not have the right to confiscate my motorcycle. Period.
The Forfeiture law was enacted to prevent the continuation of drug manufacture and sale after the dealer was convicted. Confiscating cars and/or motorcycles for driving violations is out of those bounds and unconstitutional.Sadly, many Senators who are fairly new to this bill, are so focused on the Sport Bike issue that they immediately shot down this amendment that might have done some good. So once again, we are back at square one, and this bill is still very much alive! And again, where the hell was the support?? Where are all the Sport Bike riders who oppose this bill? I can almost understand the biker community who does not ride the sport bikes not having a concern, but this bill seriously targets Sport bikers. Do you not care? Or are you merely waiting for those of us who are willing to fight for our freedom to do it for you?

AMSOIL Severe Gear? Synthetic Gear Lubes Provide Superior Protection Against Thermal Runaway–The extreme loads, pressures and temperatures experienced by modern vehicles place increased stress on gear lubricants that can lead to a serious condition known asthermal runaway. As temperatures in the differential climb upward, gear lubricants tend to lose viscosity, while extreme loads and pressures can break the lubricant film, causing increased metal-to-metal contact and heat. The increased friction and heat, in turn, cause the lubricant to lose further viscosity, which further increases friction and heat. As friction and heat increase, lubricant viscosity decreases. As viscosity decreases, friction and heat continue to spiral upward. The hotter it gets, the hotter it gets. It is a vicious cycle that eventually leads to greatly increa! sed wear and irreparable equipment damage.
AMSOIL Severe Gear Synthetic Extreme Pressure (EP) Gear Lubes feature an exclusive blend of high viscosity, shear stable synthetic base oils and an extra treatment of high-performance additives that provide a highly protective iron sulfide barrier coating on gear surfaces. Severe Gear Synthetic Gear Lubes effectively protect equipment from thermal runaway through superior viscosity protection. See the full story in the April Action News.
