Hey,
Damn, we’re flying at Thanksgiving like we put a turbo on the calendar. I hammer the MRF, Motorcycle Riders Foundation, to up their membership efforts. I believe they are the only true, honest, national motorcycle freedom fighting entity in the US and we need to support them. We also support NCOM which is made up of many of the same folks.
I receive weekly promo notices from the AMA. Hell, you can’t race at Bonneville without joining the AMA. The AMA supported helmet laws for years. In the ‘50s they wouldn’t let anyone race in America on anything but a Harley or an Indian. They took bribes.
Incredible. So I keep pushing for the good guys, the grass roots MC rights efforts. We need to be thankful for all these guys. We would have been banned two decades ago, and wearing helmets forever, if it wasn’t for these sharp folks.
Let’s hits the news, then join your local MC rights group.
Know you are an environmentally conscious kind of person, so thought you would appreciate this.

In Sweden they attempted to ban motorcycles as an element of their plan, but fortunately FEMA, the Federation of European Motorcyclists Association, stepped in to fight for motorcycles. Infrastructure was a major element coupled with education and awareness.

New NHTSA Administrator Announced—
It may have taken nearly a year, but President Barack Obama has finally made his choice for National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) administrator. The White House announced it was nominating Mark Rosekind , currently a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) board member, to lead NHTSA. Rosekind now faces Senate confirmation.
House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton has said that he’s glad to see the president is “finally taking steps to fill this critical safety post, especially in light of the mounting recalls.”
Rosekind, sleep scientist by training, has been on the NTSB’s board since 2010. Before that, he spent 13 years as the president of Alertness Solutions, and also worked for NASA for several years. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx called Rosekind a “leader ready-made for this critical responsibility,” adding it would be his job not only to hold automakers accountable, but “raise the bar on safety.” According to the NTSB website, Rosekind is a leading expert in human fatigue.
NHTSA has suffered amid harsh criticism, claiming that the agency has sat on the sidelines concerning recent auto part failure recalls, such as the GM ignition switch, and now the Takata Corp airbag recall. “Rosekind has his work cut out for him,” said Jeff Hennie, Vice President of Government Relations and Public Affairs for the Motorcycle Riders Foundation. “We look forward to working with him as we tackle highway safety issues in an appropriate way.” Hennie added.
At the time of this release it was not known if the Senate will take up the nomination before the scheduled adjournment in December.

BIKERNET GUN NUT INVESTIGATION–Federal Investigations to Proceed on Operation Choke Point– As we reported last month, a coalition of congressional representatives led by Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-Mo.) had requested internal investigators at the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to conduct formal inquiries into Operation Choke Point, as well as any officials and staff involved in the program. Rep. Luetkemeyer is now reporting that those requests have been granted. According to his press release announcing the decisions, “The correspondence I received from the FDIC and DOJ is a great first step in ensuring that those responsible for Operation Choke Point are held accountable and that Congress and the American people receive details and answers they deserve.”
Over the past year, we have reported at length on the abuses of Operation Choke Point, an enforcement program involving DOJ and FDIC (among other agencies) that claims to target financial fraud, but in reality is being used to choke off banking services to legitimate, although politically-disfavored, businesses. These businesses include retailers of firearms and ammunition, a number of which have found their banking relationships abruptly severed with little or no explanation and without reference to anything the individual businesses did or did not do. Earlier this year, a congressional report based on examination of nearly 900 internal DOJ documents found that the operation’s adverse effect on legitimate businesses was not merely an unintended side-effect but the outcome of a deliberate attempt to target entire business sectors that, while legal, were deemed objectionable by regulators.
Many questions about the program remain, including who decided which business sectors should be targeted, the extent of coordination between the agencies involved, and who within the Obama administration knew of or encouraged the activity. The forthcoming investigations should hopefully shed light on these and other important issues. What is clear is that DOJ and FDIC have a lot of explaining to do.
Your NRA remains committed to shedding light on the abusive practices of Operation Choke Point. While other attempts to reign in Choke Point are underway — including legislation and litigation by affected members of the financial services industry — the ultimate solutions to such rank abuse of investigative and enforcement authorities is to ensure they are clearly revealed for what they are and to pinpoint the decision-makers and planners involved. Legislation and court orders, while beneficial and certainly indicated in addressing Operation Choke Point, are no substitute for integrity, sound discretion, and professional ethics. In this regard, Operation Choke Point may have more to say about the character of those administering the system than about the soundness of the system itself.

Here’s the video of a very ‘mellow’ (rhymes with yellow) ride down Hwy 25. San Benito County just graveled/chip sealed their potholes sooooooo the pace is SLOoooo.
My nephew Kevin tried to match the music I was listening to on my IPod during the ride. Because the 8 Ball has a narrower/taller rear tire than the Yamaha Raider (185 55 18 vs 210 40 18) AND a shorter wheelbase…it’s a bit easier to navigate the twisties. You’ll really appreciate the mid-range of the 8 Ball’s overhead cams (it feels comfortable in the higher rpms (much like the Suzuki M90 and M109 do)

ANY EXCUSE TO FUCK WITH AUSTRALIAN CLUBS–Australia fears Islamist radicals joining forces with biker gangs
Islamism and organized crime are already mixing, said retired New South Wales Assistant Police Commissioner Clive Small, and the new gang members use radical Islam as a justification for joining.
“You can have a person who says I’m in it (a gang), I’m selling drugs, because Australia’s a bad place and we need to raise money to take over,” Small told Reuters.
“So you’ve got this rationale which justifies almost anything you want.”
More than 800 police were involved in counter-terrorism raids in Sydney and Brisbane in September, which authorities said thwarted a plot by militants linked to the Islamic State to behead a random member of the public.
Last month, Australia passed laws aimed at preventing youngsters going to fight in Iraq and Syria, where scores of Australians have joined militant groups, and is on high alert for attacks at home by radicalized Muslims.
Convicted murderer and Brothers 4 Life gang boss Bassam Hamzy adopted the mantle of radical Islam behind bars while ordering his gang to join forces with the Bandidos Motorcycle Club in a bloody drug war, media said.
The new link between radical Islam and bikers is partly a consequence of Australia’s changing demographics.
More than a quarter century ago, when Mark “Ferret” Moroney joined the Finks Outlaw Motorcycle Club, members were like him: tough, covered in tattoos and, like much of Australia at the time, white.
“Some other clubs are a bit lax with that rule,” the soft-spoken Moroney, with a shaved head, bulging forearms covered in tattoos and the word “Mongols” inked across his neck, said in a rare interview at the club compound.
CRIMINALITY AND EXTREMISM
Biker gangs now have strong family and cultural ties to the very communities police worry are harbouring potential radicals.
“Those who are involved in criminal activity, what I’m worried about is they bring with them skill sets, contacts, ability to source materiel that may not be readily available in religiously extremist groups,” New South Wales Deputy Police Commissioner Nick Kaldas said.
“There is a wall, to some extent, between profit-driven criminality and extremism and I guess our concern is ‘what happens if that wall fades or dissipates.'”
As the syndicates expanded into Sydney’s majority Muslim western suburbs, young men were needed to bolster the ranks, said Detective Superintendent Deborah Wallace. Biker gangs had no choice but to open to non-whites.
Traditionally, these recruits went through a long probation before becoming a full member but the “Nike Bikies” – so called for eschewing leathers and Harley-Davidsons for designer jeans and Mercedes sedans – were in high demand.
Pumped up on steroids and flush with cash and guns, they would often defect from one biker club to a rival, unheard of in earlier days, sparking conflict.
“They were their muscle. And what’s happened since is that lack of loyalty is causing a whole lot of problems,” Wallace said.
Those problems included drive-by shootings, fire bombings and a 2011 brawl at Sydney airport that left one biker dead.
Outside the Mongols’ clubhouse in a Sydney industrial park around a dozen motorcycles gleam in the sun. Inside, behind a thick steel door watched over by security cameras, dozens of burly members drink beer and eat chicken smothered in gravy from grease soaked white boxes.
To Moroney, who denies involvement in criminal activity, the shift in biker culture reflects changes in society. Middle Easterners have larger families than white Australians, he said, and they bring relatives with them into the clubs.
“If you’ve got 40 relatives compared to an Australian, who’s got five, more people are going to come,” he said.
But Kaldas, an immigrant from Egypt, sees worrying patterns.
In 2005, police thwarted a plot to blow up a nuclear power plant in New South Wales with rockets allegedly stolen by an army major, who sold them to a biker gang, which sold them to a Lebanese organised crime group, which sold them to radical Islamists.
“For me, that was a classic example of the profit driven criminality and the religiously or jihadi motivated sort of violence working together,” he said.

BIKERNET GUN NUT ALERT–Please Take Action – Ask Congress to Protect the Interests of Law-Abiding Gun Owners and Sportsmen Today– As Congress considers budget legislation, the NRA respectfully urges that the interests of law-abiding gun owners and sportsmen be protected from the ongoing attacks of the anti-gun Obama Administration.
The NRA has worked hard to include numerous pro-gun provisions in the House of Representatives’ budget that would protect lawful gun owners and prevent federal government harassment and overreach on your right to Keep and Bear Arms. Importantly, the House of Representatives also includes a provision to prohibit the Obama Administration from banning the trade and sale of lawfully-owned ivory, which is contained in many antique firearms.
The NRA supports efforts to stop poaching and the illegal trade of ivory. However, banning lawfully-owned domestic ivory will have no impact on elephant poaching in Africa. On the contrary, such a ban would affect only honest, law-abiding Americans by making their possessions valueless.
In a previous Grassroots Alert, we highlighted that the Obama Administration has begun a series of executive actions aimed at banning the sale and trade of ivory.
Please call your Representative and Senators at 202-224-3121 and urge them to pass legislation that prohibits a ban on lawfully-owned domestic ivory and holds the Obama Administration accountable.
Your actions today may determine if the sale and trade of firearms that contain ivory, as well as the importation of sport-hunted elephants, will be banned. The NRA is currently meeting with offices in the House and Senate, and we will continue to keep you informed as this issue progresses.
For more information on the proposed ivory ban, please read the NRA-ILA Ivory Ban Fact Sheet here.

AFTER 36 YEARS BIKER RELEASED— Ventura County Star, Nov 19, 2014.
Decades later, an innocence group had already thrown its Hail Mary pass trying to get a convicted man exonerated.
Then came Tuesday.
That’s when Ventura County District Attorney Greg Totten’s office announced that new evidence had led to a guilty verdict getting tossed and that prosecutors agreed a man imprisoned for 36 years should be released.
The legal journey for Michael Hanline, who turned 69 last week, isn’t yet over. On Monday, he’ll appear in Ventura County Superior Court and is expected to be let go soon after. He could face a retrial, however, after prosecutors finish examining the case.
One thing is certain: New evidence, including DNA analysis, undermines the theory put forth by prosecutors in Hanline’s 1980 trial. He was found guilty of first-degree murder committed during a robbery, a special circumstance that led to his sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The case concerned the November 1978 death of Ventura man J.T McGarry, also known as Michael Mathers. McGarry was found dead off Highway 33 from a pair of gunshot wounds, to his neck and chest, two days after he’d gone missing.
Hanline, McGarry and others involved in the case, including key witness Mary Bischoff — who at different times was romantically involved with both men — worked with motorcycles. McGarry had been hired by the publishing firm for Easyriders magazine to promote the publication at motorcycle swap meets, court documents say, with McGarry eventually organizing such meets around the country. Bischoff traveled with him and kept his books. In early 1977, she met Hanline, who had been hired to work security at larger meets.
Other details from the trial included property of McGarry’s being found in a stolen van Hanline, an accomplice and Bischoff traveled in, accusations Hanline was a hired gun for the Hells Angels and claims from Bischoff that Hanline had threatened to kill McGarry.
During the trial, prosecutor Louis Samonsky Jr. presented a scenario alleging Hanline and an accomplice, Dennis “Bo” Messer, kidnapped McGarry from his home, took him elsewhere and murdered him, according to the DA’s summary released Tuesday.
“While it remains possible that (Hanline) had some role in the murder,” reads the filing from Special Assistant District Attorney Michael Schwartz, “the new evidence is contrary to the prosecution’s theory at trial.”
Bischoff, Messer and members of McGarry’s family could not be located Wednesday.
The new information includes DNA analysis of crime scene evidence. DNA from McGarry and another unidentified man was found, but none came from Hanline or Messer. Schwartz said Wednesday the results were from the scene where the body was found. DNA analysis did not exist at the time of the trial.
Also important to the DA’s new stance were police reports withheld from the defense. Those reports not only cast doubt on Bischoff’s credibility, but also “could constitute evidence that (an unnamed informant) or other individuals had actually committed the murder and were attempting to ‘frame’” Hanline, according to Schwartz’s filing.
Hanline’s case was taken up by the California Innocence Project in 1999. The San Diego-based group, part of the Case Western School of Law, for years pressed various legal alleys regarding shortfalls in the case, including the sealed police reports.
In 2010, a federal magistrate judge — starting his report with a Bruce Springsteen quote — recommended Hanline be released and given a new trial, saying “the prosecution intentionally suppressed evidence” that prosecutors, police and more than one trial court judge “all had agreed was material to the defense.” But another judge later rejected the recommendation.
Alex Simpson, an attorney with the California Innocence Project who has worked on Hanline’s case for a decade, said a 700-mile march to Sacramento last year seeking the governor’s clemency for the group’s so-called “California 12” was a Hail Mary pass after other avenues had been exhausted.
“This was the end of the road for Mike Hanline,” Simpson said of seeking clemency.
His short-term efforts will be focused on helping Hanline adjust to a vastly changed world after 36 years behind bars.
“I’ll be trying to help Mike get through the next transition,” he said.

NEW FROM S&S–Biggest! Baddest! Bolt-in! Three words that describe the T143 Long Block engine from S&S Cycle. It’s big, 143 cubic inches! It’s bad, 162 horsepower and 151 ft-lb of torque. And it bolts into a stock 2008 and later bagger chassis. The T143 Long Block does not include a fuel system, but an intake kit is available that includes a special 70mm Throttle Hog throttle body with the special ports that mate up to the new S&S B3 cylinder heads and an S&S Stealth air cleaner.
For more information, visit www.sscycle.com/T143
Additional info:
Internally, we call it the “Big Shorty.” The official name is T143, with the tag line of “Biggest. Baddest. Bolt-in.” There is also more info at www.sscycle.comT143.
S&S VP of Product Development Scott Sjovall has some words of caution. “This engine fits in a stock frame, and starts really well, but it is really not for everybody! Frankly, it may scare the hell out of you if you don’t have experience with high performance engines. With this kind of power, you will definitely need a stronger clutch.
I guess it boils down to this: It’s really a thinly disguised race motor. It’s noisier, has more personality, and you’re not going to get 100,000 miles on it…but it sure is fun!” Scott then added, “Be careful where you point it.”
