J&P JUNE BONANZA–ANAMOSA, Iowa ? WOW!! That is the best word to describe the two-day 30th anniversary bonanza planned for Saturday and Sunday, June 27-28 at J&P Cycles, outside Anamosa, Iowa.
In a town with a population of roughly 5,000 people, it?s not common to hold an event with attendance numbers close to or exceeding 15,000 people. Last year?s one day J&P Cycles? Annual Open House did just that. For that reason, the 30th Anniversary celebration has been stretched into a two-day extravaganza complete with more entertainment, more events and more fun!
One of the highlights of this Open House is sure to be the motorcycle builders who will be in attendance. Not one or two, but THREE well-known bike builders will be in Anamosa at J&P during this event. Cory Ness, Rick Fairless and Brian Klock will all be onsite, all weekend long, answering your questions, posing for photos and signing autographs.
Cory Ness, son of famed bike builder Arlen Ness, has been a part of the bike building industry basically since birth. Now, as the chief designer behind Arlen Ness Enterprises, Cory is the president, running the day-to-day operations, designing new parts and accessories and still finding time to design his own bikes. Many of Cory?s personal creations have appeared on the covers and inside spreads of motorcycle magazines around the world.
Rick Fairless began his love interest with motorcycles at an early age. At 19, he went to work at his uncle?s paint store, working his way up the ladder. After growing tired of the paint business, he decided to go after his love of motorcycles and in 1996 opened an Easyriders franchise in Dallas. Today, Fairless runs Strokers Dallas, which sells Big Bear, Big Dog and Victory motorcycles and builds customs as well. Rick became even more well known when his business became the setting for the SPEED show, Texas Hardtails in 2005.
Brian Klock found success in South Dakota with a full-time shop that builds various custom motorcycles. Open since 1997, Brian has found his niche with Klock Werks, building bikes and working with his line of custom parts, including bag fillers, bagger dashes, handlebars, speaker grilles, windshields and more. His wife, Laura, is by his side in business, serving as vice-president at Klock Werks. She also isn?t afraid to ride! Laura piloted the World?s Fastest Bagger to an AMA National Land Speed Record in 1996. The following year, she piloted the bike to a SCTA National Land Speed Record.
In addition to these great bike builders, meet and greet former American Thunder TV Hostess Michele Smith, motorcycle stunt rider Jason Britton and the Motorcycle Monster at the J&P Open House. The Daytona Harley-Davidson? Drill Team will be there as will the ILL Conduct Stunt Team. Meet with representatives from over 60 companies, see the Teresi Dyno Drag, Motorcycle Rodeo and much, much more!
We hope you?ll join us for our celebration June 27 and 28. It?s J&P?s chance to thank customers for their business, and has turned into the largest one day event in the Midwest! Don?t miss it!

BIKERNET OPENS OFFICIAL ZOO NEAR GRIFFITH PARK IN LOS ANGELES– A small zoo in Georgia obtained a very rare species of gorilla. Within a few weeks the gorilla, a female, became very difficult to handle. Upon examination, the veterinarian determined the problem. The gorilla was in heat.. To make matters worse, there was no male gorilla available.
Thinking about their problem, the Zoo Keeper thought of Bobby Lee Walton, a redneck part-time worker responsible for cleaning the animal cages. Bobby Lee, like most rednecks, had little sense but possessed ample ability to satisfy a female of any species.
The Zoo Keeper thought they might have a solution. Bobby Lee was approached with a proposition. Would he be willing to mate with the gorilla for $500.00?
Bobby Lee showed some interest, but said he would have to think the matter over carefully. The following day, he announced that he would accept their offer, but only under five conditions:
‘First’, Bobby Lee said, ‘I ain’t gonna kiss her on the lips.’ The
Keeper quickly agreed to this condition.
‘Second’, he said, ‘She must wear a ‘Dale Earnhardt Forever’ T-Shirt.’
The keeper again readily agreed to this condition.
‘Third’, he said, ‘you can’t never tell no one about this.’ The keeper
Again readily agreed to this condition.
‘Fourth’, Bobby Lee said, ‘I want all the children raised Southern
Baptist. ‘Once again it was agreed.
‘And last,’ Bobby Lee said, ‘I’ll need another week to come up with the $500.00

CHARLEY HUTTON ? FAMED STREET ROD PAINTER TEAMS UP WITH PPG–STRONGSVILLE, Ohio ? March 30, 2009 ?Renowned street rod painter Charley Hutton has teamed with PPG Automotive Refinish for a number of automotive projects including custom painting of the Kurt Busch Foundation Dodge Challenger.
?I?m very excited about partnering with PPG,? said Hutton when reached at his newly expanded facility, Charley Hutton?s Color Studio in Nampa, Idaho. ?I started painting cars with PPG and it?s great to be working with them again. I?ve always liked their products, support and service. While building our new facility, we have worked hard to be environmentally friendly. PPG?s new waterborne paint lines ? Aquabase? Plus and Envirobase? High Performance fit perfectly into our plan. I am really impressed with the ease, sprayability and fast coverage of both of these products. The clarity of color is amazing and allows us to really be creative.?
Well-known in the custom car world for his work on high-end street rods, Hutton has won national recognition including two prestigious Ridler Awards, several Street Rod of the Year and Custom Rod of the Year awards as well as an America?s Most Beautiful Roadster Award. He made his mark in television on the Discovery Channel?s American Hot Rod show working with legendary custom car builder, the late Boyd Coddington. Hutton has also been featured on The Learning Channel?s Overhaulin? and on Hot Rod TV.
Hutton started painting cars at 13, working in a body shop owned by a family friend and painted his first custom car when he was 15. He established his own business in 1993 at the age of 20. Hutton will be using PPG products exclusively in his shop.

MIC Encourages Support Of Legislation To End Lead Ban–The Motorcycle Industry Council and the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America have announced their support for two new bills that would overturn the lead ban that resulted from the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, which effectively stopped the sale of off-highway motorcycles and ATVs designed for kids 12 and under.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) does not appear likely to grant the Industry’s pending exclusion petitions, and as a result, the MIC has intensified efforts to get Congressional support for a legislative solution.
On March 17, Senator John Tester introduced S.608 to amend the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 to exclude secondary sales, repair services and certain vehicles ? including youth ATVs and motorcycles ? from the ban on lead in children’s products, and for other purposes.
On March 18, U.S. House Representatives, Rehberg, Burgess, Pomeroy and Simpson introduced H.R. 1587 to amend the lead prohibition provisions of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 to provide an exemption for certain off-highway vehicles and for other purposes.
The MIC is working with the sponsors to provide necessary relief to the powersports industry. “It’s time to start letting kids ride safely again on vehicles designed for their use, and finally put an end to this untimely economic debacle,” said Paul Vitrano, general counsel, Motorcycle Industry Council and Specialty Vehicle Institute of America. “We’re very pleased to see that Congressional action is being taken to end the ban, and we’re working with the bill sponsors to ensure these bills would provide immediate and critical relief to the powersports industry.”
