MEMORIAL DAY SUNDAY POST FOR MAY 27, 2012

Hey,

Happy Memorial Day. Here’s the official definition from Wikipedia:

Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed annually in the United States on the last Monday of May. Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the fallen Union soldiers of the Civil War. (Southern ladies’ organizations and southern schoolchildren had decorated Confederate graves in Richmond and other cities during the Civil War, but each region had its own date. Most dates were in May.) By the 20th century Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died in all wars. As a marker it typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.
Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries.

I’m fighting the Mac computer blues, and Gary Marz is throwing a party, so we need to peel out. Macs are terrific computers unless you overload yours, which I did. Even with back-up systems shit is still missing, and I ended up with a new operating system, so new passwords—good god. Let’s hit the news, I need a drink.

Motorcycling nominated for SPIRIT OF SPORT award-
A partnership between Riders for Health and the FIM that is helping people in rural Africa receive lifesaving health care has been nominated for the Spirit of Sport Award which was presented during the 10th annual SportAccord Convention in Quebec, Canada on May 24, 2012.

Riders for Health is the official charity and Associate Member of the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) and MotoGP. The organization not only grew out of the Grand Prix racing paddock in the 1980s, it continues to receive support from motorcyclists around the world.

Co-founder of Riders for Health, 13-times grand prix winner, Randy Mamola said ‘What makes Riders for Health special is that the thing that we all love, and that allowed me to have such a fantastic career, is the same thing that is saving lives in Africa. We are very proud to have been nominated for this award. Without the support of the FIM and the motorcycle community Riders for Health would not exist. This nomination is for all of us.’

The annual Spirit of Sport awards commend the commitment and humanitarian spirit of SportAccord members who have made an exceptional and lasting contribution to using sport as a tool for positive social change.

Riders’ CEO, Andrea Coleman added ‘It is the spirit of sport – the passion, commitment and energy – that enabled us to create Riders for Health. Without that desire to achieve our goal we would not have been able to make the impact we have. We will now maintain this focus to help us meet our goal of reaching 25 million people by 2015.’

FIM President, Vito Ippolito said, ‘The FIM is proud to have Riders for Health as an Associate Member and that we have such a strong and fruitful collaboration. On behalf of the FIM and all the motorcycle community I warmly congratulate Riders for Health for this nomination and for putting motorcycling on the road to help save lives’

Not only does the motorcycle community support Riders for Health, the machine that binds them all together, the motorcycle, is at the heart of the organisation’s work in Africa.

Riders for Health uses motorcycles, as well as ambulances and other four wheeled vehicles, to help local health workers reach isolated villages in Africa predictably and reliably with health care.

Thanks to Riders for Health’s work an outreach health worker can reach five times more people than on foot or by bicycle. This means that over 30,000 extra people across Africa receive health care services each week thanks to Riders for Health – that is 1.5 million each year.

The key to Riders for Health’s work is their focus on maintenance and training. By employing local technicians and carrying out regular, monthly maintenance on all their vehicles, Riders makes sure they almost never break down. This means that health care always reaches the people who need it.

Riders for Health was founded by one of the most popular and exciting racers of the 1980s, Randy Mamola and Andrea and Barry Coleman. Andrea was born into a motorcycle racing family, and not only raced motorcycles herself, but managed a grand prix team. Formerly a journalist, Barry persuaded the Guardian to cover motorcycle racing and reported on the sport for many years.

While raising money in the motorcycle racing paddock in the 1980s, the group were invited to see the impact of that work in Africa. However, on several trips to the continent, they saw motorcycles intended for the delivery of health care that had broken down due to a lack of basic maintenance.

In 1991,with the support of the motorcycle community they established Riders for Health, an organization focused on managing and maintaining vehicles so that health workers in Africa can reach even the most isolated villages with health care.

The FIM and the motorcycle racing community continue to be at the core of Riders for Health’s support. Riders hold fundraising events before MotoGP races in the UK, USA and Spain, giving fans the chance to see behind the scenes of the sport. They also earn money by providing helmet and leather storage at races and events, and they receive donations from motorcyclists around the world.

Riders is supported in the United States by Riders for Health II, Inc., a non-profit organization with 501(c)3 status and sister organization of Riders for Health, the registered charity founded in the UK in 1996. To learn more visit www.riders.org

BIKERNET UNIVERSITY ENGLISH DEPARTMENT TARDY STUDENT VOCABULARY LESSON–

cumulus KYOO-myuh-luhs, noun:

— Dana Spiotta, Stone Arabia

“So where is it at, Minogue,” asks the palatal man, aloft in a cumulus of webs and dust and creak.

— David Foster Wallace, Girl with Curious Hair

Cumulus stems from the Neo-Latin word meaning “heap, pile.” It was first used to describe clouds in the early 1800s.

AUSTRALIAN ANTI-BIKER LAWS A LEGAL —
Anti-biker/anti-association laws could be plagued by costly and embarrassing legal challenges, Victoria’s peak law body says.

The Baillieu Government must get the legislation right because the laws would almost certainly be challenged by outlaw motorcycle clubs, Law Institute of Victoria president Michael Holcroft said.

But the State Government, which wants its laws enacted this year, says the LIV will be proved wrong.

The Department of Justice has been working on the legislation since the Coalition won government in 2010.

In the same year, the Finks MC won a High Court ruling against South Australian anti-biker laws, and the Hells Angels won a ruling against similar laws in NSW last year.

The Government says the law institute has not seen draft legislation, which would be drawn up to avoid successful High Court challenges.

Briefings are being held with Victoria Police and others.

Mr Holcroft said that proscribing groups as criminal entities had been difficult and expensive.

“Effectively you will have to prove they are criminal organisations,” he said.

“The Baillieu legislation is trying to create guilt by association.

“It’s very difficult. I don’t know whether it’s worth the effort.”

He said the Crimes Act (1958) allowed authorities to seize assets and profits of crime.

The Government’s plan to rip down fortifications was likely to fail, he said.

“Every business owner and most clubs take steps to secure their assets,” he said.

“The first proscribed biker entity will be off to the High Court. If the Government gets it wrong, yes, it will be expensive.

“They’ve probably painted themselves into a corner. The consequences of getting it wrong will be very public.”

Anti-biker legislation was one of many law and order reforms the Baillieu Government promised in its bid to win government in 2010.

A spokesman for Attorney-General Robert Clark said the law institute should not be commenting on legislation it had not yet reviewed, or be comparing outlaw groups with legitimate business people.

“Comparing organized crime gangs with law-abiding businesses and clubs is absurd; law-abiding businesses and clubs are not engaged in commercial drug manufacturing, illegal firearm possession and stand-over tactics that are the core business of criminal motorcycle gangs,” he said.

Reno, Capone Racing & Bammer Racing
all saw the same thing at ATCO–Well, if I didn’t know these guys so incredibly well, I might say that they were hanging out in a 3 block long area red light district with ladies of ill-repute or ladies of the evening. BUT truly, their relationships with red lights were limited to AHDRA’s Screamin’ Eagle Performance Parts Northeastern Nitro Nationals at Atco Dragway,New Jersey last weekend.

But good grief, guys, DID EVERYONE of you’s guys have to RED LIGHT?? Bammer Racing’s Drums Brancaccio, made one qualifying pass and BOOM went the motor. After thrashing until 3 am on Sunday, Bammer with a
little help from most everyone in the nitro pits rebuilt the motor trackside and was looking like this was his race to turn things around, but in the 1st round of eliminations, BOOM-RED LIGHT (the Bammer bike by reading the computer was on a 6.30 pass, but that pesky red light
stopped the progress). Same issue with Shaun Reno on his Team HeadBlade Pro Mod race bike. AND then as things were looking good for Frank Capone in the Pro Mod finals-BOOM-RED LIGHT.

On the other hand this obsession with red lights is probably warranted when you look at the ladders on race day.
It’s all about how close the fields are this year. If you reaction times are not very very close to perfect, chances are the other racer’s going to win. And when you have .400 of a second on a pro tree to prepare for launch, the goal is to leave the line first. BUT NOT toooooooo soon.

A quarter mile (about 3 blocks where I grew up), a quick pro tree and
always another day to race. I’d rather see a red light occasionally
than a sleepy wake up call when the opponent’s half way down the track.

Reno, Capone and Brancaccio will be back on track with AHDRA’s Ohio
Bike Week Nationals Presented by The Northern Ohio Harley-Davidson Dealers at Summit Racing
Equipment Motorsports Park Norwalk, OH, June 9 and 10th.

Capone Racing’s team consists of Mark Godin, Richard Murray, Lorne

NEW Scott Jacobs official Sturgis painting– THE PANHANDLER as well as a reminder to watch Scott and his daughter Alexa on the premiere episode of Secret Millionaire, Sunday, June 3rd.

Renowned Harley-Davidson artist Scott Jacobs and his daughter, Alexa, will be featured on the premiere of “Secret Millionaire,” a new reality series on the ABC television network.

The one-hour show featuring Jacobs will air at 8 p.m. EDT on Sunday, June 3, according to an announcement from ABC Entertainment. The show is based on a similar TV series in the United Kingdom.

“Secret Millionaire” follows some of America’s most successful businesspeople as they spend one week in the country’s poorest areas, ultimately bestowing gifts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to people in those communities. The funding reportedly comes from the businessperson’s own funds.

Here’s how ABC describes the June 3 episode: “…millionaire and world-renowned artist Scott Jacobs and his sheltered 18-year-old daughter, Alexa, leave behind their family and lavish lifestyle in San Diego to spend six days in Newark, New Jersey – an American city in need – to search for those most in need of financial help. While there, father and daughter will attempt to survive on less than $75 during their week-long visit, while volunteering their time to worthy charitable organizations and searching their hearts to determine how much of their own fortune to gift the community heroes they meet.”

 

“We can tell you how proud we were to be part of such an amazing adventure,” Jacobs said. “This was the most life-changing experience I have ever personally encountered, and the best part was that I was able to share it with my youngest daughter, Alexa. I hope the viewers will be as inspired and moved as we were. By the end of the week, Alexa and I were emotionally drained, and yet so exhilarated. The simple truth is there is joy and happiness in helping others.”

Narrated by actor Blair Underwood, “Secret Millionaire” is produced by Zodiak USA, the North American arm of Zodiak Media, which produces a number of “reality” television shows worldwide.

UNCLE MONKEY ON THE VERGE OF PROJECT COMPLETION–I hear you brother. Life, economy, and no cash sucks.

I started this project after I finished my tangerine dream 1976 FLH clone that Bandit published back in Oct 2009. It is still not finished. I only need less than a grand to finish it, but you know first hand how hard that can be to find sometimes. I have sold almost all of my extra parts to raise money to finish and as a painter have been changing my mind about the paint theme. I not only want to get it off my bench but now I need to as I want to start working on my FXST project.

I appreciate your stories and pictures. I also ask that you keep us informed. Even though I have done this before, I still forget things.

The first was trial by error by not knowing all the changes that the factory made between 1985 and 1986. This one is tough when you try to take what you like from several bike companies and combine them to make your idea of the perfect bike. Plus seeing how the industry has changed in the three years makes you wonder if the finished bike will still be noticed.

I am betting that I am not the only other biker in the same position as you, so Uncle Monkey, keep us in mind and continue your inspiration.

MIDNIGHT RIDER: My Last Words…I Am Dead EPISODE 10–

Dick Cheney has heart of murdered Afghani

Documents reveal a secret government program established during the Gulf war to provide replacement organs for injured service personnel. In 2003, during the Iraq War, a multi-billion dollar private corporation providing military support services took total control. Operating on a global scale, this covert organization is in the primary business of harvesting and selling human organs. CLICK HERE FOR FULL STORY

SAFETY REPORT CLARIFICATION FROM ABATE of PA News—NOTE: We ran this in the Thursday News regarding the AMA report and the subsequent government spins. This time it makes more sense. See the Governors’ report below this comment from ABATE of PA:

A few days ago I received a call from the Allentown Morning Call asking for input on motorcycle helmets and helmet laws and their impact on motorcycle statistics. I was advised that a new study was going to be released soon and it was not favorable. I advised the reporter that I was a bit confused. I explained that we had just held our annual Motorcyclists Rights Rally and that it had been reported that nationwide fatalities were down 2 % and in PA 11%. In addition, it’s been 9 years since we modified our helmet law and when comparing fatality rates and taking into consideration the increase in registrations despite a poor economy, we are doing well.

 To make a long story short, that report is out and I am sure over the next few days every newspaper in the state will be reporting it and bikers will be calling the ABATE office asking us to respond. Those of you who were at the Rights Rally had the opportunity to hear Rob Dingman, President and CEO of the American Motorcyclist Association. We have had a long and successful relationship with the AMA. Below you will find the new study which claims “No progress in reducing motorcycle deaths.” Below that you will find the AMA’s response to the new study. There is nothing I can add to it. So if you feel a response to your local paper is necessary, I suggest you simply copy the AMA’s response and ask them in fairness to print it.

 I encourage everyone to seriously consider becoming a member of the AMA if you are not already a member. I cannot think of a better example of their importance and effectiveness as this quick response proves.

No Progress in Reducing Motorcyclist Deaths
 Strengthening Economy and Rising Gas Prices Don’t Bode Well

 WASHINGTON, D.C.-A report released today by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) finds that no progress was made in reducing motorcyclist deaths in 2011. Based upon preliminary data from 50 states and the District of Columbia, GHSA projects that motorcycle fatalities remained at about 4,500 in 2011, the same level as 2010. Meanwhile, earlier this month, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration projected that overall motor vehicle fatalities declined 1.7 percent in 2011, reaching their lowest level since 1949. Motorcycle deaths remain one of the few areas in highway safety where progress is not being made.

 The new report – the first state-by-state look at motorcycle fatalities occurring in 2011 – was authored by Dr. James Hedlund of Highway Safety North. Most states have reasonably complete fatality counts for at least the first nine months of 2011, enabling GHSA to confidently project the full year. Dr. Hedlund completed similar projections for GHSA in 2009 and 2010, with both being very close to the final fatality numbers.

 Comparing the first nine months of 2010 to 2011, motorcyclist fatalities decreased in twenty-three states, with notable declines in many. In Connecticut, for example, motorcycle deaths dropped 37 percent, while in New York and North Carolina they fell 16 and 21 percent, respectively. GHSA’s member in New York State is the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee (GTSC). According to Barbara J. Fiala, Commissioner of the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles and Chair of GTSC, the decrease in fatal motorcycle crashes in that state is due to a mix of countermeasures focusing on enforcement, education and engineering: “In New York, we are educating motorists to watch for motorcycles, riders to wear bright protective gear to make themselves more visible, and law enforcement officers on conducting efficient and effective motorcycle checks,” Fiala said. “It is encouraging to see that these efforts, which have been conducted with our state and local partners, are making a difference.”

 Twenty-six states and the District Columbia, on the other hand, reported an increase in motorcyclist deaths. In South Carolina and Texas, they rose 26 and 16 percent, respectively, while in California they increased 10 percent. GHSA’s Immediate Past Chairman and Director of California’s Office of Traffic Safety, Christopher J. Murphy, pointed out that the state experienced a dramatic 37 percent decline in motorcycle deaths from 2008 to 2010, so while disappointing, it would not be unexpected to see a smaller decline or even an increase, for 2011.

 The economy influences motorcycle travel in several ways. With the economy improving in 2011 and furthering strengthening in 2012, more people will have disposable income for purchasing and riding motorcycles. At the same time, rising gas prices may cause more individuals to choose motorcycles for transportation because of their fuel efficiency.

 For his work on behalf of GHSA, Dr. Hedlund compared gas prices, motorcycle registrations, and motorcyclist fatality trends since 1976. He found that for the entire period fatalities closely track registrations, with significant similarities from 1990 to 2008. At the same time, as gas prices increase, fatalities also rise.

 Another disturbing trend is the decrease in states with universal helmet laws. Helmet laws are the only motorcycle safety strategy whose effectiveness is rated as five-star in NHTSA’s highly-regarded publication, “Countermeasures That Work.” Only 19 states currently require all riders to wear helmets, down from 26 in 1997. Earlier this year, Michigan repealed its universal helmet law, while similar legislation has been introduced in five other states. No state has enacted a universal helmet law since Louisiana reinstated its requirement in 2004.

 Troy Costales, GHSA Chairman said, “It is disappointing that we are not making progress in motorcycle safety, particularly as fatalities involving other motorists continue to decline. As the study notes, the strengthening economy, high gas prices, and the lack of all-rider helmet laws leave me concerned about the final numbers for 2011 and 2012. Every motorcyclist deserves to arrive at their destination safely. These fatality figures represent real people – they’re family, friends and neighbors.”

 Costales added, “The good news is that we know how to prevent crashes and the resulting injuries and fatalities involving motorcycle riders’ and their passengers. There are effective strategies that, if implemented, can make a difference.” Specifically, the report recommends states address five issues:

• Increase helmet use: Helmets are proven to be 37 percent effective at preventing fatal injuries to motorcycle operators and 41 percent effective for passengers. NHTSA estimates that helmets saved 1,829 motorcyclists’ lives in 2008 and another 822 of the unhelmeted motorcyclists who died in that year would have survived had they worn helmets.
• Reduce alcohol impairment: In 2010, 29 percent of fatally injured riders had a blood alcohol concentration at or above the legal limit of .08, the highest of all motorists.
• Reduce speeding: According to the most recent data, 35 percent of motorcycle riders involved in fatal crashes were speeding, and more than half did not involve another vehicle.
• Provide motorcycle operator training to all who need or seek it: While all states currently offer training programs, some courses may not be provided at locations and times convenient for riders.
• Encourage all drivers to share the road with motorcyclists: According to NHTSA, when motorcycles crash with other vehicles, the latter usually violates the motorcyclist’s right of way. Many states conduct “share the road” campaigns to increase awareness of motorcycles.

 This report comes just before Memorial Day Weekend, when at least five large motorcycle rallies are planned across the country, including “Rolling Thunder,” where approximately 100,000 motorcyclists convene in Washington, D.C. to pay tribute to the nation’s veterans. As Chairman Costales noted, “With so many motorcyclists on the road this month, it’s an opportune time to remind all motorists about this critical highway safety issue.”

 All data in the report are preliminary. The report presents data through September 2011. State-by-state data are available from GHSA.

BIKERNET SNAKE OIL REFINERY–Holy Basil for Stress
Holy basil or tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) is a sacred plant in India. It is a relative of our culinary basil but has a stronger, clove-like aroma and taste. Indians do not use it in cooking but do use it as medicine, mostly in the form of tea.

Research in both animals and humans demonstrates lack of toxicity and a variety of benefits, including reducing inflammation and protecting the body and brain from harmful effects of stress. It also has a positive influence on mood, and is safe to use with pharmaceutical antidepressants. My colleague Jim Nicolai, M.D., medical director of the Integrative Wellness Program at Miraval Resort and Spa in Tucson, tells me he has great success with holy basil.

Most of his patients have stress-related conditions, and holy basil is at the top of his list of plant-based strategies to target such issues. His personal experience is that it lengthens his “emotional fuse” and leaves him feeling calm and balanced in otherwise stressful situations. Use extracts standardized to two percent ursolic acid in 400 mg capsules. Dosage is two capsules, once or twice daily with food.

COMING TO BIKERNET BAGGERS–I submitted this motorcycle as a feature to Baggers Magazine….it will be available to Bikernet Baggers following print publication. Also, The guys who built the prototype Baggster (green bike photo attached) are now building a full blown Baggster Custom (Sportster to Road Glide) using a 2007 883.

The 883 has been converted to 1200cc, but no other motor works (no 1200 heads or other. ) I get the exclusive on the Rad baggster. Chris Malo built a Baggster for his dad (the green thing) He may take on Keith Terry as a partner in this endeavor.

I will be helping to promote and sell the Baggster concept the potential customers. Customers will either give their existing Sportster to the Baggster crew for conversion, or buy a turnkey Baggster from the company.

At any rate I’m right smack in the middle of this project, perfectly situated for Editorial material gathering. No plans for selling Baggster kits yet.
