“ROCK N ROLL IS HARD. I SAY IT TO EVERYONE WHO SAYS I TOOK THE EASY WAY OUT. I AM AN UNSIGNED ARTIST SO I HAVE NO MANAGEMENT, BOOKING AGENT, OR ROAD CREW. WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, I JUST HAVE TO BE TOUGHER. “

Raisin’ CainJasmine Cain, performer, singer, songwriter, artist, gypsy has carved a place in the hearts of bikers across the country with her high energy performances. We are thrilled she will once again be grac-ing the stages of Daytona Beach for this year’s Bik-etoberfest celebrations. She began her career at a young age, singing in local bars, nur-turing her dream of becom-ing a star in an industry and culture dominated by men, heckled when she opened for Slaughter. Women will never be rock stars, he shouted over her performance. The press will tell you Jasmine paved a way for female artists in the biker community. Jasmine’s music and style does more than pave a way for other female artists, she blazes her own trail.

When asked if being a fe-

male has helped or hindered her ability to succeed in the ever-changing music industry, Cain seems almost ambivalent, “I’ve had great opportunities by being female and I’ve been shut out because of it as well. REAL play-ers with REAL talent have always been really welcoming. They are too confident in their own abili-ties to be intimidated by anyone else.”

The first time we saw her, just Jasmine and her guitar over the noise and Biketoberfest crowds her red hair flowing, green eyes snapping as she strummed and sang with a voice that felt like it reached into your heart and wouldn’t let go. Her acoustic per-formances are pure, raw, talent and within moments the packed bar was hushed listening to her belt out song after song. A com-bination of Stevie Nicks, Joan Jett and Janis with, what is this I hear, perhaps a hint of Ella

We have been following this independent female rock and roll machine for years and if you haven’t, now is the time to get started. Jasmine has an ability to make even her largest shows, where she has drawn crowds upward of 5,000 people feel personal and intimate, as though she is playing just for you and your friends. With a mischievous glint in her eye, she is off and running, leaping into the crowd below who await her fall with open arms and smiling faces, for just a moment they were side by side with a legend, a mystery, a phenom.

A native of Sturgis, SD, born with a big voice in big sky country, it almost seems predestined Jasmine would take the biker world by storm. Not necessarily, Jasmine tells us, Yes, I was born in Sturgis but growing up there, we were cattle ranchers and so I rode horses instead of motorcycles. I do happen to have a motorcycle, a 1976 Triumph Bonneville that I am building myself. I haven't had the chance to ride it yet, but should have it going by next spring.”


Her sense of fashion, like her music reflects her free spirit and is never boring, never the same thing twice.

“I never really considered my-self one particular style. I think there's a little bit of everything in me. I just dress however I feel that day. Sometimes it's pinup dresses and heels, some days it's cowboy boots and shorts, and sometimes I'm rocking an evening gown just for no reason. My favorite items that I wear are this asymmetrical blue dress with spaghetti straps, my cow-boy boots or riding boots (I'm definitely a boot girl), a leather jacket works with anything, and a good pair of comfortable leg-gings. Leggings are so versatile. I wear them long when I wear boots and slide them up to my knee when I wear flip flops or shoes. I'm on the hunt for some Capri cargo pants in camouflage so I can rock my Converse shoes though so if you find some, let me know. My closet is schizo-phrenic like me...many voices, many colors, many styles.”

Jasmine’s loyal fans are among some of the most prestigious in the music industry, she holds 8 JPF awards. JPF is a group of singers, songwriters, music pro-ducers, recording labels and mu-sic educators. She is this year’s JPF Female Artist of the Year. She has headlined the Easyriders Bike Show and Rodeo Tour for three consecutive years and has been the main act for Full Throt-tle Saloon for seven years. She is also the official touring band of the Broken Spoke Saloons, nationwide.

As the front-woman, songwriter, bassist, marketing director and public relations representative

of The Jasmine Cain Band, we asked Jasmine what it is like be-ing an independent artist. While there can be benefits to having complete creative control, she advises life on the road is not the glitz and glamour it may seem. As the industry changes and more music is purchased, or not purchased, digitally, musicians are taking more control of their own careers out of necessity.

“Rock n roll is hard. I say it to ev-eryone who says I took the easy way out. I am an unsigned artist so I have no management, book-ing agent, or road crew. When the going gets tough, I just have to be tougher.

There are a million things that can and will go wrong on tour. Shows can get double booked leaving you without a job for the night, money comes up short at pay time sometimes...and some-times no pay at all. There are all night drives which put you there just in time to set up and do a show. Keeping your instruments and gear working properly can be exhausting. And it goes with-out saying that it takes its toll on the band that sometimes cave under the pressure. Everything breaks down, including our van."

"Every year we continue to grow! We've spent the last several weeks woodshedding to make sure you get new music and new energy every time we hit the stage. I want to make sure that you never get bored at a Jasmine Cain show. We work hard to make sure you get the show you expect to see!" Jasmine says.

Jasmine’s hard work and deter-mination seem to be paying off and her new hit single and video, Nightingale debuted nationwide

August 1st. ”It’s basically about the mis-conception of love based on what you’re taught through fairy tale storybooks as a child and what you actually come to find out about love. It’s an amazing song and it rocks!” Jasmine says of the song with a decidedly Latin influence.

Jasmine Cain will appear live at theBroken Spoke Saloon at 1068 N US 1 Ormond Beach, headlining Thursday and Friday night, October 17th & 18th. Shows at the World Famous Iron Horse Saloon at 1151 US 1 Ormond Beach, include after-noon shows on Wednesday, October 16th at 4pm, Thursday, October 17th at 3pm, Friday, October 18th at 6pm, and Saturday, October 19th at 4pm. Added to the lineup this year is the White Eagle Lounge at 5533 US 1 in Korona! You can see Jasmine Cain there on Saturday, October 19th at 9:00pm for headlining show. Jasmine will be play-ing an intimate, acoustic performance Sunday at 8pm at Rowsey's Pub at 800 Flomich St. Holly Hill bringing Biketoberfest to close.

It is everything you never thought Harley would be. The company long known for choppers and cruisers is re-entering the café racer market with the 2015 Harley Davidson Street 500 and 750. The smallest, quietest bikes the com-pany has ever produced. With an eye toward the next generation of riders, the Street is designed to appeal to smaller, less experi-enced urban riders and Harley’s use of the bike for its Garage Par-ties, Jumpstart and Learn to Ride program is a stroke of marketing genius. Riding in real life is a lot different than sitting on a station-ary bike, so the question is does this bare bones version of Harley hit its mark with a quality machine that will build brand loyalty and have new riders coming back for their next bike?The reviews for this bike have been mixed and controversy has surrounded the exact location of where the bike is built. Harley invited its American and Canadian dealers to tour the plant in Kansas City, MO, where the bike will be manufactured for the Canadian and American markets. One thing everyone agrees on is this bike has some kick to it with a six speed transmission that reportedly is

almost too tame for the traditional Harley enthusiast with its ease of shifting. The 749cc Revolution X SOHC water cooled 60 degree V-Twin with 44.3 foot-pounds of torque is a smaller version of the water cooled en-gine designed in conjunction with Porsche.Its compactness makes it easy for novice riders to maneuver and have more experienced riders scraping pegs. At 26 inches , the seat is lower than any other Harley currently in production and the suspension, while it provides for an extremely smooth ride, is not adjustable. Perfect for town hopping with a soft seat that offers little support on extended rides, this urban animal is lightweight at only 480 lbs. The single caliper disk brakes, while not horrible, are spongy and not very aggressive. With a base price of $6700, the Street may live up to the old adage you get what you pay for. “These new bikes are leaner, yet still have a mean streak – they’re the real deal, made of real steel.” said Mark-Hans Richer, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Harley-Davidson Motor Company. “They’re designed to handle the abuses of urban environments and provide authentic opportunities to customize.” In other words, this ain’t the touring package. The Harley Street fea-tures a locking gas cap, forks and ignition, a speedom-eter and inboard mounted mirrors with very limited adjustability. Take the opportunity to get all the dealer upgrades you can. It’s a tough bike, built to take what-ever you can dish out and it will get you where you want to go but it won’t win any beauty pageants doing it.

Dear Mia,I need to lose twenty-five pounds in a month or my boyfriend said he will leave me. What should I do?Signed, Desperate in Des Moines

Dear Desperate,The hell with 25lbs. Lose at least 170lbs instantly by dumping his ass. Problem solved, dear. Next, please.

Dear Mia,I have been having terrible luck with men. Things will be going great for a few weeks, then out of nowhere, in-evitably the person I’m dating changes. Just when I think I find one that is crazy about me, it turns out he is just crazy. They get jealous, paranoid, and just crazy. My relationships, like my underwear, become chafing, restrict-ing and somewhat odiferous in a very short time period. I have a lot of male friends, I’ve been single for a long time and I’ve learned it is best to have backup so there is always a backseat, just never the right one. What else can I do, Mia?Signed, Slighted in Saginaw

Dear Slighted, I think you should change that to Blighted or just blech. Are you an idiot? You have back up and wonder why your current is suspicious? Men aren’t stupid; they know shit, too, just like us women. Well, not you, you obvi-ously don’t count because, let’s face it, you’re a dumb ass. Instead of jacking with another good man’s head, do the rest of us ladies a favor, if you would. Stop. Just stop. Get your own bike, learn how to ride and do lot of it. Don’t get off that bike until you have your head screwed on straight. Dumbass.

Dear Mia,My husband wants to go on a boy’s weekend, it will be the first time since our youngest moved out and I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to ask him not to go and I am not sure how I feel about asking him to take me with him. If I stay and don’t say anything I will be all alone for the whole weekend. What should I do?Signed, Lonely in Los Angeles

Dear Lonely,Help him pack and send him on his way. Gas up your bike and go for a ride, buy a bottle of wine and curl up with a good book. Walk through the house naked. Eat ice cream. Gawd, I’m jealous, can my old man go with yours?

GEAR GIRLCHROME’S FAVORITE GEAR GIRL SHOWS US HOW-TO

Since we are at the beginning, let’s start at the beginning! Here is a quick check to insure your next ride is safe and trouble free. In upcom-ing months we will cover the thrill of chang-ing your own oil, the excitement of changing your controls and cables and the sweet, sweet sound of pipes you installed yourself. To get us started in the inaugural issue of Chrome we are going to cover the basics.

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation recom-mends a short pre-ride check of your motor-cycle before every ride. To help you remember what to check, the MSF came up with the acro-nym T-CLOCK, which stands for Tires, Controls, Lights, Oil, Chassis and Kickstand. These are simple, easy-to-access items that anyone who rides should be able to identify and check. And despite the length of the MSF’s list, you can probably check everything in about five min-utes. Depending on what you find, that could be the best five minutes you spend all day.

You can start by checking the oil and filter and inspect other fluid levels. If you do it yourself, please don’t forget the maintenance schedule. Running out of gas is a drag, but since many motorcycles don’t have gas gauges, it’s a very real possibility. Check the gas level in the tank, and be sure your fuel petcock isn’t on “reserve,” which could leave you with a big surprise if you roll to a stop thinking you still have gas in reserve. And don’t forget to reset the tripmeter every time you fill up.

Running out of gas can be inconvenient, but running out of oil can turn your bike into an inert display of public art. Even some new bikes can use enough oil to be down a quart between oil changes, so check it before every ride. Check for any fuel, oil or hydraulic fluid

leaks. Give the cases and lines a once over to make sure there are no leaks. For high-mile-age bikes, inspect the drive belt, sprockets and brakes.

Since these are what separate you and the road, they’re probably the most important things to look over. A problem here will af-fect handling, sometimes severely. Are your rims free of dings? Are your spokes tight and straight? Check pressures in both tires. Since most manufacturers specify pressures for cold tires, this is the only accurate way to check them, as they heat up quickly on the road, rais-ing the pressure. Consult your owner’s manual or call your tire manufacturer’s hotline for the proper pressures for your particular bike.

If you own multiple bikes, it may be difficult to remember all those different tire specs. And since this is one of those critical things you should check often, you may want to make a checklist with each tire’s recommended pressure, then hang it on your garage wall, or anywhere that’s handy.

While you’re down there checking the tires, make sure you’ve got plenty of tread. You should have more than 1/16 of an inch, about the distance between Lincoln’s head and the top of a penny. Remove foreign objects that may have lodged in the treads, and make sure there aren’t any cuts in the tire. A scuff is nothing to be worried about, but if it’s a deep


scratch, you might want to have it checked.

A snapped throttle or clutch cable can leave you on the side of the road, so check them. On your list of controls to inspect should be the front and rear brakes, throttle, clutch and shift-er. Operate anything connected to a cable and make sure that levers and cables feel smooth and don’t bind. Apply the front brake and push the bike forward. The brake should feel firm, and the front wheel should not move. Check the rear brake in the same fashion. You should also examine the steering for smooth-ness by turning the handlebars through the full operating range.

Check your headlights, directionals, tail light and brake light every time you ride. Not only do they help you see where you’re going, but they are your best way of being seen by oth-ers. If a light is out, it is easy to change yourself. Consult your owners’ manual and/or service manual for correct type and removal and replacement procedure. If replacing a head-light, be certain the beam is focused properly. Seeing and being seen are the two best ways to avoid unwanted incidents on the road, so making sure your lights work is imperative to your safety.

Start by turning on your ignition. Are the headlight’s high beam and low beam work-ing? Does the taillight come on? Does the brake light come on when you depress the

brake pedal and lever? Check left and right turn signals, front and rear. Remember that the cause of a malfunction here could be a relay or bulb... Lastly, don’t forget to check your horn.

Though an improperly adjusted suspension may not seem critical, imagine your surprise as your bike behaves differently in the middle of a curve because you forgot to reset it after picking up your friend last night. Sit on the bike and rock it, making sure that everything moves smoothly and relatively slowly. If the front or rear end behaves like a pogo stick, a trip to your trusty mechanic should be in your immediate future. If you have an adjustable suspension, remember to read your owner’s manual and adjust it properly for the load you’ll be carrying and the type of riding you’ll be doing.

Take a look in the mirrors to be sure they’re adjusted properly. Even if you don’t think you’ve moved the mirrors, do a quick check just to be sure. The kickstand is a handy little item, it’s what keeps your motorcycle off the ground. Make sure it’s not cracked or bent. Check the spring or springs. Are they in place, and do they have enough tension to keep the kickstand safely up?

Don’t forget to look at the engine cut-out switch or pad, if so equipped.If everything’s in place and operating properly you’re done, and you’re ready to roll. Enjoy the day!

Doing basic maintenance yourself can save you time and money in the long run, but don’t venture into the land of do-it-yourself if it’s not your natural habitat. The risks just aren’t worth it. If you are the least bit unsure take your bike to a professional.

Debbie Evans, veteran of hundreds of motion-picture, televi-sion, inducted October 2003 into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame has been awarded for her work on Taxi in 2005, The Matrix Reloaded in 2004 Taurus World Stunt Awards in the category “Best Overall Stunt by a Stuntwoman,” previously winning two Taurus awards in 2002 for driving a Honda Civic under a moving semi-truck in The Fast and the Furious.

In 1998 Debbie came out of an extended retirement from competitive motorcycling to become America’s Top Rider in the FIM Women’s World Championship, currently spon-sored by Sherco and Ryan Young Products. In 2002 she raced road bikes at Daytona. Debbie is married to Lane Leavitt, her motorcycle trials sweetheart, and has 3 children, proving that a woman can balance career, sport, and family life all at the same time.


Debbie Evans is considered a pioneer in Ob-served Trials competition, a sport that calls for expertise on a narrow, marked, twisty maze of a course. Evans proved adept at the sport, which is a display of strength, concentration and bal-ance. She was the first woman to compete in FIM World Championship Trials and was dubbed the “Queen of Trials” by the motorcycling press. She was also the first woman to successfully ride in the U.S. Trials during the late 1970s and is gener-ally considered the best female trials rider in the history of the sport.

In an amazing testament to her skill, in 1998 Ev-ans, at 40, came out of retirement after 18 years away from the sport to compete in the unofficial Women’s World Trials Championship and finished eighth in a field of 38 competitors from 12 coun-tries. In 1999 she led a U.S. women’s team to third in world championship team trials competition. In addition to her considerable accomplishments in trials, Evans became even better known for her day job as a Hollywood stuntwoman. Evans emerged as one of the leading movie stunt per-formers in Hollywood and has earned numerous awards for her work in more than 200 movies and television shows.

Evans was born in Lakewood, California, on February 5, 1958. The daughter of an avid motor-cyclist, Evans learned to ride when she was just 6

years old. Her father was a trials rider and young

Debbie grew up around the sport.

“I think he wanted sons,” Evans told Readers Digest. She added she regularly terrified her mom, Edna, by scaling fences and climbing lampposts around their Los Ange-les home.

Not content to simply watch, as a young girl, Evans would ride her mini-bike around and mimic the moves of the older trials riders. One day a fellow competitor was talking to Evans’ dad as he was loading up and pointed to a youngster jumping a small motorcycle and said, “That little kid is pretty good!” It turned out the little kid was Debbie and her dad recognized that she was good enough to start riding trials. She entered her

first trials when she was 9 and earned a third-place trophy.

As a youth, Evans competed successfully in tri-als and enduros, this during a time when there were no classes for girls. Even though her male counterparts did not like being beaten by a girl, over time she earned the respect of her fel-low riders. By the 1970s, Evans was recognized as easily the best female rider in trials riding and she earned sponsorship from Yamaha. In addition to trials competition, Evans began giving exhibition shows, at first at fairs and local races, and eventually in front of tens of thousands of fans at AMA Grand National and AMA Supercross events. Her trademark move became a trick in which she would balance her motorcycle with the kickstand up and perform a headstand on the seat.

By the mid-1970s, Evans became the first woman to obtain expert classification in tri-als. In 1979, she recorded another first when she scored a victory in the sportsman class at the U.S. Trials Nationals. Seeking greater chal-lenges, Evans, at 19, accepted an invitation to race in the grueling Scottish Six Days. Even though that type of racing was not her forte, she trained hard to get into peak fitness. De-spite the fact that many thought the Scottish Six Days too difficult for Evans, she proved her skill by not only finishing the event, but placing

a very credible fourth in the 175cc division.

Although she was performing well in compe-tition and had Yamaha sponsorship, she was making little money from her efforts. While she was attending college, an unexpected call gave her the opportunity to make her skills on a motorcycle pay off. A friend of her father’s called her to ask if she would be interested in doing stunt work for a movie. The movie called for Evans to stunt ride Yamaha dual-sport bikes clad with 50 pounds of metal panels, sissy bars and other movie props. “Every time you’d turn the thing it would want to take a dive into the ground,” Evans recalls. “They had us doing jumps on them and all kinds of other stunts. In retrospect it was pretty dangerous stuff, but that’s how I got into the Screen Actors Guild.”

Evans proved to be exceptional at stunt riding. Her trials background gave her the perfect background for the trick riding re-quired in movie making. In fact, Evans once said that she treated each stunt like a trials section, studying the stunt intensely before performing it. Evans rapidly became one of the leading stunt actors in Hollywood and it wasn’t long before that line of work gradu-ally became Evans’ full-time profession. Evans became so well respected in the Hollywood community that she became a pioneer in


stunt work just as she had in trials riding. Evans began per-forming stunts that had previ-ously been restricted to male stunt performers. She performed stunts on many of the top mov-ies from the 1980s to present. She has been recognized for her accomplishments by winning numerous awards for her stunts, including a prestigious Taurus World Stunt Award in 2002. “I en-joy the adrenaline rush of stunts – being able to do something I’m really good at and being paid for it,” Evans said. “It thrills me to no end to have the police blocking off the street and I come down and do my thing – something I’d normally get thrown in jail for.”

On the personal side, Evans mar-ried three-time U.S. Trials champ Lane Leavitt. The two collaborat-ed in business ventures, includ-ing teaching trials schools and forming a top stunt work agency. Evans’ sister, Donna, is also a leading women’s trials rider in

her own right. Evans was named as Honda’s factory rider for the highly publicized Vetter High-Mileage Contest in 1982. Strong winds coming off the Pacific Ocean knocked over the totally en-closed streamlined 125cc Honda and the damage kept her from finishing in the prescribed time. Even though the motorcycle lost some of its fuel load in the crash Evans was able to squeeze an amazing 276 miles per gallon out of the Honda.

By 1980, Evans had retired from full-time motorcycle competition to concentrate on stunt work and raising a family. She and Lane had three children. But Evans’ stunt work required her to stay in peak physical condition, and when women’s trial competition finally began to take hold, Evans jumped at the chance to return to the sport.

In 1998, Italy hosted the first

unofficial Women’s Trials World Championship (formally rec-ognized by the FIM starting in 2000). After 18 years away from the sport, and at 40 years old, Evans still had enough skills to finish eighth. The next season she lead a U.S. squad that fin-ished third overall in a Women’s Trials Team competition. In 2002, Sherco/Bultaco signed Evans to compete in the FIM Women’s World Trials Championship. In addition, Evans competed in her first road race at Daytona in February of 2002 as part of an endurance racing team.

Evans has been featured in nu-merous articles, not only in mo-torcycle publications, but also in general interest magazines such as Reader’s Digest and Glamour.

Evans will always be remem-bered for her pioneering legacy in the sport of trials and for her accomplishments in the world of Hollywood stunt work.

My coconut and I catching some wind therapy together.


Somewhere in the hour and a half ride to the Boot Hill Saloon in Daytona, I lost my ponytail holder. As we rode, I felt the hairs pulling as they wrapped around each other and thought, “Well, this sucks.” I lovingly refer to my long bleached blonde hair as a chemical waste dump, or I used to. As we walked toward the outside bar I tried to run my fingers through my tangled tresses. A burlesque dancer just coming off her last set for the evening saw me preparing to call for “Jaws of Life” to get my now trapped hand out of my hair and as she walked by said, “Coconut oil, it’s like kindness for your hair and skin, I sprinkle it on everything.”

Not having a ready supply when I sham-pooed and conditioned the next day, I spent three or so hours trying to run a garden rake through the mess falling down my back before I began my quest for knowledge regarding this amazing and amazingly inexpensive product that can be purchased at the local grocery store.

Every day we hear conflicting messages, what is healthy, what age to have a mammogram, butter is bad, butter is good, and coconut oil is no different. Con-victed without evidence by guilt of association, coconut oil was used primarily in Southeast Asia, where it is plentiful, for cook-ing and health purposes and shunned in the US for saturated fats.

As news of the benefits of this oil spread, so have the marketing

buzzwords. Virgin, extra virgin, unrefined, unprocessed, organic all have the same meaning when it comes to coconut oil. Big words and pretty packaging will not im-prove the natural benefits of the same product readily available in your neighborhood grocery store.

It will, however cost a mere seven to ten dollars for a one quart jar of your favorite store brand. Liquid coconut oil, however, retails (Continued on Page 26)

“SIMPLY USE COCONUT OIL! INCORPORATE IT INTO COOKING INSTEAD OF USING VEGETABLE OILS. DRINK COCONUT WATER TO REVITALIZE THE SKIN. USE COCO-NUT OIL FOR UNDER EYE CIRCLES.” DR. AVA SHAMBAN, AUTHOR OF HEAL YOUR SKIN

The Not So Crazy Facts About Coconut OilRhoda RageStaff Writer

(Continued from Page 23) much higher and due to the nature of its processing is robbed of all health benefits.

Non-Hydrogenated, unpro-cessed, cold pressed coconut oil is high in saturated fat. Before you let that scare you off,this saturatedfat acts like no other when it comes to our brain function and metabolism. Called medium chain triglycerides, or ketones, ketone bodies contain more recoverable metabolic energy than fatty acids and yield 28% more energy on combus-tion than glucose, increasing the body’s metabolism.

According to the a study being conducted at the University of Oxford, “Should subjects on the ketone body diet have greater metabolic efficiency, and there-fore better physical and cogni-tive function, during exercise and psychological stress than those on a normal diet, the diet could also be used to treat meta-bolic diseases, such as obesity, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.” More

research still needs to be done, but preliminary results show a conclusive if temporary improve-ment for those with Alzheimer’s.

“Simply use coconut oil! Incorpo-rate it into cooking instead of us-ing vegetable oils. Drink coconut water to revitalize the skin. Use coconut oil for under eye circles (just a dab).” — Dr. Ava Shamban, author of Heal Your Skin and a leading cosmetic surgeon tells us.

Coconut oil makes a great leave-in treatment, use an empty spray bottle and mix three parts puri-fied water with one part coconut oil. As a hot oil deep conditioner, depending on hair length, heat about ¼ teaspoon of coconut oil in the microwave and massage through wet hair. Cover head with a plastic shower cap, it will not only prevent oxygen from breaking down the oil but keep the oil from dripping every-where. Leave on overnight and shampoo until you get lather.

Coconut can be used as a daily skin and facial moisturizer and

makeup remover. It speeds the healing process and keeps new tattoos from itching. Used as a facial moisturizer it will decrease the occurrence of acne and the scarring that can be incurred.

I kept thinking on the ride home from the west coast of Florida last week, how grateful I was to have a jar at home. Some girl-friends and I decided to get new tattoos. I think we may have overwhelmed the normally calm and placid artist, he forgot to provide us with aftercare. My wrist started itching as I opened the jar and smoothed the oil on my skin. Gradually the itch began to fade and my new tat-too is healing nicely.

My friends no longer call me gnarly locks and while it hasn’t turned back time, the lines are not racing to become wrinkles to become crevices. I think of the drawer full of night creams and moisturizers next to my tub of coconut oil and can’t help but laugh. Coconut oil, it is kindness for the body indeed.

LAST CALLOne of the things I love about the concept of Chrome Magazine is that we can do whatever we want because no one has ever done this before. We know there are tons of biker magazines on the market but none that em-braces motorcycle culture from a feminine perspective, from a woman’s perspective. Women who ride are…different. It isn’t so easy to pigeonhole a woman biker, though mainstream media certainly does try. Chrome Maga-zine is not mainstream media; we are not going to pigeon hole you. We want your input, we want to know what you have to say, what you want to see and we want to put it out there in a way that is entertaining, informative and fun.

Lone Wolf was born at a rally and raised on two wheels…Well, not exactly. The idea for Lone Wolf was born in the back yard over beers one hot Saturday night. Leafing through a local biker magazine I picked up while at an event where claws and fur flew, I gazed at the bare beasts staring back at me from the periodical and thought, “Really, is this what we are really about? Cat fights and flashing? There has to be something more.”

While researching the concept for Chrome Magazine and Lone Wolf Trading Co., we are charac-terized as almost masculine in dress and thought processes, I discovered. I thought about the women I knew, no one would ever think to call these wives, mothers, girlfriends and sisters

anything less than a woman, why allow ourselves to be pandered to as such. Sure, when you see us out and about we are in boots and jeans but we learned, the hard way in my case, that our legs look much prettier in our skirts and shorts without pipe burns.

Almost two years of planning has gone into the concept of Lone Wolf and Chrome Magazine, we didn’t just get a wild hair. We know we want Chrome Magazine to be different, ground breaking, revolutionary. I had a hard time pinning down what I wanted to tell you Chrome Magazine would be about here in this first “Last Call.” We have so many interests and issues we contend with on a daily basis, not only as motorcy-clists but as women. Learning to “lean in” and take those curves is something we do every day.

What you won’t see in Chrome Magazine is useless information. No miracle diets, miracle sexual position guides, or how to take ten years off. As we grow, you can look forward to reviews from the Biker Chick Book Club, reci-pes suggested by our readers, detailed instructions for do-it-yourself bike maintenance, riding tips from the experts, interviews with women who make a differ-ence in the biker community and so much more. We don’t want you to lose ten pounds or take ten years off, we think you are beautiful just the way you are and we want to help you stay that way.

This month, our inaugural edi-tion is a preview of what you can expect every month in Chrome Magazine. Fun, informative articles about issues and people we care about, plus the latest styles from Lone Wolf Trading Co. and an event calendar to help you plan your next weekend getaway.

The Biketoberfest issue of Chrome Magazine will be an insider’s guide of what to do and who to see while you are here in beautiful Central Florida both at and away from the event. Octo-ber is also Breast Cancer Aware-ness Month and we will be doing a special feature on prevention, treatment and women in the biker community making strides for a cure. We will also feature some of the best places to ride to on Central Florida’s scariest night of the year for a frighteningly good time. Thanks for riding with us this month, we hope you had fun.

Ride safe and until next month, see you down the road,

AngelP.S. If you are interested in adver-tising or have an event you wish to promote in the event calen-dar please contact us at [email protected] Thanks! AE
