After an absence of a year Jeff Brown was able to bring back the Colorado Motorcycle Expo to the National Western Stockshow complex in Denver. A standard feature was missing, no MCs were in attendance. The only motorcycle organization I saw was ABATE. The lack of the MCs did change the mood a little, some thought it was a little more relaxed, others said not as much fun. I thought more on the relaxed side a better feeling. Now for 35+ years the MCs had been attending with no incidents. The show had become annual meeting for some of the clubs and for others it was a funding event and recruiting opportunity. But with one incident, shots fired and a ...

Hey, Life is amazing and changing constantly. Motorcycling is struggling but it won’t struggle for long. There are new TV shows, internet shows and movies in the wing. Just what we need. You’ll see in this report how the climate debate is changing. But there’s something we need to get a handle on, regulation. We once supported freedom, fought for freedom, worshipped freedom and smiled for freedom. We need to find the freedom balance once more and fight for it. Read more.

Why the Bikers of America Cannot Continue to be Ignored or Forgotten. I’ve held the position of Vice-President of Government Affairs for the Motorcycle Riders Foundation for roughly 18 months. And during those months I’ve sat in countless meetings, congressional hearings, public information sessions, symposiums, conferences and breakout sessions, which have covered a gamut of issues that affect riders. Anything and everything from ethanol to self-driving cars to road design and infrastructure, I’ve sat, listened and taken detailed notes. However, during the last couple of months I’ve started to uncover a deeper (and darker) underlying message in my meetings. I’m not one for conspiracy theories, so I won’t suggest that my theory is the product of some sort of anti-motorcycle secret ...

Daytona is right around the corner and that means Showtime with Perewitz once again. This year Jody was able to relocate the Perewitz Custom Paint Show show to a great new location on the riverfront, at the end of Main St on Beach St. The location will place the machines in direct sunlight allowing spectators and judges to view all the amazing pearls, flakes, candies and colors in their full brilliance. Speaking of judges, all judging is performed by professional custom painters from around the country. Trophies, are you kidding? Big Daddy Perewitz Trophies’ are the coolest you’ll find at any show and probably the most sought after awards in the industry. Score one of these unique hand fabricated, custom painted ...

Hey, Bandit is still out of the country. Literally on the other side of the world soaking in their summer weather.
