STEALTH BIKEWORKS BANNER

BIKERNET STEALTH REPORT–It is spring here in Charlotte! Yesterday the temps hit 75 and today 80! It feels great! Bikes are out on the road and people are gearing up for the riding season. Here at STEALTH BIKE WORKS we keep moving on.

SBW got our first Triumph to work on. The Triumph has “THE HORSE” written all over it. We are going to do a lot of fab work on the old boy. Chopper john can’t wait to use his new plasma cutter. He?s drawn up some wicked sissy bar designs. We should have one or two done soon. That is what I love about STEALTH BIKE WORKS, we do our own thing. Chopper John, Max and myself work real well together and we are a tight knit group. Our 1 year anniversary is fast approaching (May 10th) and I can’t believe how the time has past so quickly, but as they say, “Time flies when you are having fun!” That is what we try to do at SBW too, have some fun. It is a business but we try to make it a fun business.

Our customer base is getting stronger and growing. Word of mouth is our best advertisement and it is good to hear people tell you that their friends sent them to SBW.

We have a few things lined up for the spring and summer. Starting in April, the 3rd Friday of every month SBW will host “BIKER NIGHT.” We will have food, music of some sort and we willbe showing the Biker-Build Off videos. Just a time to relax, talk bikes and tell some tall tales. Kristophers Restaurant has invited us to participate in their bike night, Wednesday night of each month starting in April. SBW will be at the Smoke-Out June 24th and 25th. We are looking forward to being a part of this great event!

All you hear about lately is the EPA and the new laws concerning exhaust systems and custom bikes. We as bikers need to do what we can to fight this infringement of our rights. Do some research and you will be surprised who supports the EPA and their laws. Let your money do the talking whenever possible; do not support any company that supports these laws. We as bikers will survive this, we have never given in or up when it comes to our freedom to be what we are.

With that being said, it is 80 degrees outside! Do you think “THE MEANEST” would get mad if we closed the shop and went riding????

Until next week, RIDE!

ATTENTION ALL CANADIAN MOTORCYCLISTS–We have sent the following letter to the Gateway Program regarding theexemption of motorcyclists from the proposed toll on the twinning of thePort Mann Bridge. You may not be directly affected by this toll, but pleasetake the time to read this and support our initiative because if a precedentis set on this project, then it may prove to be useful in other parts of theprovince one day.

February 13, 2006

Attn: Sarah Johnston
Gateway Program
Suite 2010 – 4720 Kingsway
Burnaby BC V5H 4N2
Dear Sarah:
I was very excited to read about the Gateway Program in the Sunday editionof The Province and believe that you should be commended for your ambitiousplans designed to reduce traffic congestion and get “people and goods movingagain.” Being a resident of Surrey and with many of our members residing inthe Lower Mainland, this initiative will impact many of us greatly.

This program is very important and we feel that the government needs to lookto other forward thinking cities in the world to see what techniques theyare using to reduce the gridlock. Specifically, all over the worldmotorcycles are used as an alternate form of transportation. Motorcyclestake up less space, create less impact on our roadways and are a moreenvironmentally friendly form of transportation than the single occupantvehicle. Motorcycling is encouraged in these cities by waiving tolls onbridges and roadways, along with free parking and other incentives.

The government is willing to invest “$50 million in cycling infrastructure -the largest in the history of the province” which is commendable, but it isalso very important to recognize that not everyone is physically capable ofriding a bicycle and that is where a motorcycle or scooter comes into thepicture. The government needs to acknowledge the benefits of motorcyclesand the role that they play in reducing congestion. It’s also a great timefor them to invest in the role of motorcycles in traffic reduction byexempting motorcycles from any of the proposed tolls involved in the GatewayProgram and any other future traffic planning programs.

We would love to work with you and find out ways to make this program evenmore effective. I will look forward to hearing from you.

Yours truly,

Adele Tompkins
Executive Director
B.C. Coalition of Motorcyclists
