Sturgis 2008. Rode this bike from Houston to Sturgis.
The Springer Transformation
My Education into Bike Customization for the Poor, Unskilled, Wanna-be Biker.
By Johnny White with photos by his lovely wife
I bought this Springer Classic in August 2005 – right after my inaugural trip to Sturgis on the 100th Anniversary – from Mancuso Harley-Davidson in Houston, Texas after seeing it on the showroom floor.
I had gotten a gift card for my recent birthday and decided to get a t-shirt. Well, the t-shirt cost me more than $25,000.
I rode the bike bone stock for an entire year. I had made the famous lying quote more than once to my better half, “I love it just the way she is, I won’t change a thing.”
For a whole year that rung true. Most of my trips were back and forth to work or the gym.
Most of my changes were like most people, limited by
1) my financial situation and
2) my ability.
I also had one other caveat, in that whatever change I made had to be completed in time for me to go to work as my bike was my main transport.
So, as I started, the bike remained stock until the ride to Sturgis in 2006.

New Episode 97 in Bandit’s Cantina – The Series
by K.Randall Ball with illustrations by Jon Towle and George Fleming
The Cantina bustled and Bandit kept the holiday tunes blasting while he stared at his budget sheet. It didn’t look good. The positive cash flow from the Sturgis Rally dwindled. He knew his time in Los Angeles waned and 2022 would be a turning point.
He put on a smiling Xmas face and walked down the stairs to the dining room. Most huddled together over their presents. Brothers discussed bike modifications and upcoming projects.
Marko came out from behind bar and nudged Bandit. “Looking good?” Marko said and then steered Bandit’s gaze to Clay, his thinning head of sandy-blonde hair resting against the polish bar top.
Clay was a too-regular. He started drinking early and didn’t stop. His poison Corona beers held him in place between piss and smoke breaks.
A friendly, helpful sort he wanted to assist folks and started to rebuild outboard motors and handled dinghy repairs. Never said a bad thing about anyone.

5-Ball Racing is Cooking with Gas (or Fossil Fuels) –
Frank Ball Jr. is creating new shirt art and new photo sessions for 5-Ball Racing leathers.
I had a strange series of phone calls the other day. I was speaking with Hal Robinson’s ex and my phone started to beep, it was David Mann’s wife Jacquie Mann. I thought, “What the hell?”
I’ve worked with Hal’s ex for a while and recently her designer friend took a piece of Hal’s art and modified it onto a bandana. We have a few and if you order one of his shirts or a piece of art you will receive one of these cool bandanas absolutely free, no extra charge.
In the meantime, ride fast and free forever.

Looking Forward to Next Year with News from Around the World
Hey,
I’ve been telling friends in a joking manner that 2022 will be a much better year than 2021, “I promise.”
That’s my optimism pouring forth. I believe it. I believe there is room for truth.
I believe the media will open up and find balance. I believe we will correct our course for freedom and America, or die trying…
We will continue to ride free forever…

The Sundance Meeting
by K.Randall Ball
Three brothers rode into Sundance, Wyoming on their way to Sturgis in late July, hell bent to make their 20th run to the Badlands.
The small town, population just over a grand, was a mere 52 flying miles from the Rally. They rode long and hard for almost 400 miles, and this could be the final watering hole stop before the last blast on interstate 90 into Sturgis, South Dakota.
Sundance located in the bare open plains of Wyoming was named after the Sun Dance ceremony practiced by several American Indian tribes.

Article by Rogue – Founder of Biker Lives Matter, Sturgis Motorcycle Hall of Fame
I have been asked a lot why I and some others started an organization named Biker Lives Matter and why it is important to me. My answer is simple, there is a need for an organization that calls attention to the tragic loss of lives and livelihoods from motorcycle crashes.
In the 1970s, I became involved in motorcycle rights and safety. At the time, motorcycle injury and death rate were high so the government and insurance companies began trying to pass laws that they hoped would help protect motorcyclists when crashes happened.
I have been riding motorcycles for 69 years and both my life and that of the others who ride has always been important to me.
I have seen many people injured and I know too many that have died.
I consider myself one of the lucky ones to still be riding at the age of 83 years old.
