MFullThrottleMagazine.com so that it gets as much exposure as possible. Before I get ahead of myself let me offer a sincere THANK YOU to all of our active service personnel and veterans for their commitment and service to the United States of America. Some people have no idea of the value of what these patriots have contrib-uted to our country, but I do. Let me explain it to you without going into a whole long speech. A veteran is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to The United States of America for an amount of “up to and including their life.” They signed it in blood. Some served without so much as a scratch, only giving up years of their lives (think about that) to defend our Republic. Some had their checks cashed by being injured or killed in the line of duty. All gave some. Some gave all. They, and their families, deserve our utmost respect every day of the year and especially on Veterans Day, which is November 11th. If you know a veteran, thank them. If you are made aware that someone is a veteran, thank them. If you know what it means, it is easy and it means a lot to them. I used a quote from Ronald Reagan in this month’s “Quotable Quote” where he praises the Marines. I am certain that he had every bit as much pride in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard and would never disparage any branch of the service nor lift one above the other. He was just a proud American and probably addressing a group of Marines on the Corps’ birthday, November 10th. So, salute or put your hand over your heart and sing loudly. “Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, what so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight, o’er the ramparts we watch’d, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave? THANK YOU VETERANS, one and all. God Bless America!

2013 Triad Bull Dog Hero AwardsBy: Mark Infield Last year, in an effort to recognize the good that bikers do for the community, Bob & Ginger Karney of the Karney Law Firm (www.KarleyLawFirm.com) con-ceived the Bull Dog Hero Awards. They maintained, and I whole-heartedly agree, that bikers do a lot of good in the community that goes unheralded in the non-riding society. So, they came up with a nomination pro-cess and evaluated the nominees deciding on one Bull Dog Hero of the year and four others as Bull Dog Heros. The awards were presented at the Harley dealer in Charlotte. From there, it became apparent that there were other Bull Dog Heros in other parts of the state, and subsequently, the awards were expanded to the Triad. Bob teamed up with Q104.1 and 100.3 The Buzz to honor bikers and the presentation was hosted by Harley-Davidson of Greensboro at the “Fall Brawl” on Saturday, September 28th. The Triad Bulldog Hero of the Year was awarded to Gunny Claus, AKA Steve Winsett (www.GunnyClaus.org), who plays Santa to 7-10 THOUSAND kids of US Marines. The Karney Law Firm awarded Gunny Claus $1000 to give to his charity of choice Dave “Fly Dog” Cantara – Carolina Patriot Rovers, Preacher Steve Ervin – His Laboring Few Biker Ministry, Jeff “Win-drider” Leonard – Guardians of the Children (Winston-Salem), and Rhett Macomson – Bikers for Christ were declared Bull-dog Heroes and all received $500 for their charities of choice

The original plan was to present awards to five finalists and make donations to each of their charities of choice, but in true “Bulldog” form, Bob decided that in addition to the five finalists, he would recognize ALL of the remaining nominees. Norman Cristopher Cox, David Curlee, Ron Moats, Tim and Tresa Purdy, Doug Shambley, Durwood “Breeze” Shores, Jeff Walker, and Daniel Wilson, all received $250 for their chari-ties of choice. The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine says CONGRATU-LATIONS to the 2013 Triad Bull Dog Heros for their service to our community and helmets off to Bob & Ginger Karney for their exemplary generosity.

3rd Annual Biker, Blues, & BBQ RallyBy: Gary Moss The 3rd Annual Biker, Blues, & BBQ Rally and BBQ Classic at Tilley Harley-Davidson of Salisbury was a huge success. Attendance was good with estimates of 6,000 folks coming by. The weather did not fully cooperate, but everyone had a great time. Friday night’s entertainment, The Main Event Band, was awesome. Saturday’s en-tertainment was no different, however, Pat “Mother Of Blues” Cohen was rained out that evening. This year was a record year for this Kansas City BBQ Society sanctioned event with 72 teams competing. Teams came from all across North and South Carolina as well as Mary-land, Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia, and Georgia. Over 55 vendors were on hand from Radiant Rides to handmade jewelry and the food – WOW – Charlie’s BBQ was a huge hit. The event proceeds help support local charities and this year the charities were the Salisbury VA Hospice Unit, Glenn A. Kiser Hospice House, and The Folds of Honor Foundation. Tom McGrath Motorcycle Law Group sponsored a poker run for the VA Hospice Unit with Iredell County Sheriff’s Depu-ties providing a police escorted ride from Tilley’s in Statesville

to the Salisbury VA Hospice Unit. Mr. Don Tilley and NA-SCAR legend, Mr. Donnie Allison, lead the ride. Tony Camp-bell and Michael Alexander tied with an Ace high straight on the poker. However, Tony won by drawing the higher card in the run-off draw. Our event raffle with prizes estimated at a value of $10,000 was also a huge success with Kirby Russell winning The Big Green Egg and table, Donna Lane won the Harley-Davidson gas grill, and Justin Phillips won the one of a kind Budweiser Sturgis umbrella. We had some high dollar ancillary prizes donated including an impact wrench kit from Ingersoll Rand, several truck toolboxes donated by Brian Farley, and two handmade items by KCBS Judge Don Rogers of Raleigh. An event that everyone loves is Old Stone Winery’s People’s Choice, where you can donate $10 to our charities and judge BBQ prepared by the competition teams. Pickin’ Porkers from Clemmons, NC came in 1st Place, followed by Was it Good For Q from Denver, NC and One Shot Smoker’s from Shelby, NC. Certified BBQ Judges came from all over to participate in our event. The Biker, Blues, & BBQ Rally is a family affair even for our judges. The Sandridge family, Will and Laura from Salisbury, their two sons, Kevin from Winter Haven FL and Steve from Colorado Springs, CO all got together to judge this event. Other judges came from North and South Carolina as well as Maryland, Tennessee, Kentucky, and more. The 2013 Biker, Blues, & BBQ Rally Grand Champion was nationally known competition team Killer B’s BBQ from Ev-ans, GA. Reserve Champion was 4:20 Q from Clear Springs MD. Other winners included the top ten in each of the four KCBS categories; Chicken, Pork Ribs, Pork, and Beef Brisket. Prepare yourself for next year’s event slated for Sept 18-20, 2014, kicking off with Uncle Bucks All American Pub and Grub’s Thursday night Pre-event Party. This will be even big-ger and better!

Trail Of Tears 2013By: Mark Fortson For the last 20 years, I have attended the Trail Of Tears Ride from Bridgeport, Alabama to Waterloo, Alabama on the third Saturday of September. Only once did I fail to make the ride because in 2011, my bike broke down. This year, as we have for the past few years, my wife, Fran, and I left Cherokee, NC with several Cherokee Tribal Council members. The weather on that Friday was great and the ride went smooth. The weather forecast for our ride Saturday turned out to be quite accurate...RAIN! It’s a tough decision to make when waking up at 6am on Saturday, showering and dressing, then packing our bikes for the 7am line up in down-town Bridgeport as it pours. There were some that decided to stay behind and wish us luck. We all started our ride at 8am sharp facing the potential for rain the entire trip. I briefly thought about the State Troopers on their Harleys escorting us, but then remembered they were making overtime. It’s amazing to see the ride grow and grow each year. It started some 20 years ago with less than 30 motorcycles and now numbers in the thousands. All along the route, down US 72 through Scottsboro into Huntsville, we rode under police escort. All along the way, spectators lined the road to cheer us on. The rules stipulated that only the passengers wave back, but I could never hold back. I waved a lot! After an hour and a half of standing in the rain at the Space and Rocket Center, we started up the bikes and headed again under escort to Waterloo. We got a few minutes west on I-565 and then the rain stopped! The rest of the trip was dry. It’s really amazing, even as it rained, to see all the people standing along the highway, cheering us on. That’s likely one of the big reasons to take the trip. The public loves the rumble of the bikes going by. This event brings out so many. The route we take along US 72, I-65 and back on US 72 takes us though Athens and Florence, past McFarland Park then down a two-lane road to Waterloo. Waterloo being the end of the land travel for the thousands on Native Americans force-marched back in 1838. From the Tennessee landing at Waterloo the prisoners were loaded onto barges taking them further along the way to Oklahoma. This Commemorative Ride annually reminds us never to

let such a thing happen again. It also reminds me that while I had great ancestors, such as George Washington and Stonewall Jackson, I can’t help but feel the heroic actions of another famous Great-Great-Great Uncle, Andrew Jackson weren’t stifled by his orders to remove the Choctaw, Cherokee, Creek, and Seminole from their lands. My wife and I might never have met had her tribe of the Louisiana Bayou Region not successfully hidden from Jack-son’s troops during that fateful scourge. Then my thoughts come back to the present and I’m thank-ful to see and visit with friends that make the annual trip. It’s usually the only time I get to see them.

9th Annual Ray Price Capital City Bikefest Rumbles Into Downtown Raleigh

By: Sarah Hager The 9th Annual Ray Price Capital City Bikefest, presented in partnership with Nationwide Insurance, was held in downtown Raleigh September, 20-22. With more than 85,000 attendees throughout the weekend, Bikefest raised $4,900 for charities the USO of North Carolina (USO) and the United States Veter-ans Corps (USVC). Bikefest festivities got started with the annual Patriot Ride, which was sponsored by The Meat House. Groups from both Ray Price dealerships in Raleigh and Fayetteville met at Vet-erans Memorial Park in Lillington, NC, where the USO led a military ceremony honoring veterans who served our country. The groups then united for their ride into Raleigh to enjoy Bikefest. One of the most popular events of the weekend was Tattoofest, a live tattooing expo held all weekend to raise money for the USO-NC and USVC. Tattoo artists were out in full force at the Ray Price H.O.G. room, featuring the talents of: Warlocks Tattoo Inc., 401 Tattoo and Art, Inksanity Tattoo, Sacred Art Tattooing, and Double Deuce Tattoos. Meanwhile, a few blocks away downtown at Bikefest, motor-cycles of all makes and models quickly lined five blocks of Fayetteville Street. Bikers filled both sides of the street from City Plaza all the way to the Capitol Building. As the largest motorcycle event in North Carolina, Bikefest takes up more than 10 blocks of downtown Raleigh. As local office workers finished their workdays, the Kick-start Parade rumbled down Fayetteville Street, sponsored by BikeSafe North Carolina. Riding with Ray Price on his trike, Raleigh Mayor Nancy McFarlane served as Grand Marshal for the parade. The opening ceremony from the main stage included include the U.S. Color Guard, National Anthem, a dedication by the mayor and blessing of the bikes, as well as introductions of dignitaries and Bikefest sponsors. Also, on opening night, the Custom Dynamics Parade of Lights, a crowd favorite, made its return lighting up Fayette-ville Street with a multitude of glowing bikes. The staging area made for quite a display with gleaming and flashing lights so vivid it looked like Christmas in September. The rides raised $1,900 for this year’s charities. Throughout the weekend, two stages of live music and two sets of DJs kept downtown Raleigh jumping. Notable acts included: Carolina Music Award winners Kickin’ Grass Band and Erik Strickland, as well as Amanda Daughtry, Jeremy Gra-

ham, Motorbilly, and Brooks Paul. Between bands, attendees enjoyed various dance troupes, including fire dancers, and pe-rused the custom-built motorcycles in City Plaza’s bike show. Stunt shows boomed through the side streets. Bikefest favorite, the Circus Una Thrill Show, featured a high-wire motorcycle stunt show on Davie Street. Twenty-five feet above city streets, the female duo performed spinning acrobatics that wowed the crowd. In front of the courthouse, One Motion Skateboarding set up ramps and grind rails to perform their skating tricks. One of the most anxiety-inducing tricks included jumping over two side-by-side Harley-Davidson motorcycles, which they cleared on the first try.

Metric Alley hosted a wide range of stunt performances throughout the weekend’s festivities. The Kawasaki Stunt Army did spinning wheelies and 90-degree stoppies, even while holding an umbrella in the rain. Juli “The Dare Factor” Moody broke a world record by restrain-ing four Harley-Davidson motor-cycles pulling her in all different directions. The smoke from the bikes became so dense it was impossible to see the crowd of more than 300 hundred who

gathered to watch. When the smoke cleared, attendees saw Juli high-fiving The Godfather to the deafening cheers of the crowd. Performances continued on Sunday at the Ray Price dealer-ship, located about a mile from Fayetteville Street. One Mo-tion Skateboarding came back to skate ramps and rails in the parking lot before the rubber hit. Eric Trimmer, Eric “Envy” Simpson and Troy Cashion put on a great motorcycle stunt show, rearing up inches away from the crowd and doing tight circles completely vertical before bunny hopping to the opposite end, coming to abrupt stoppies. Trimmer even did such a big burnout he blew his back tire. Capital City Bikefest is not only a free event, but also sends many people home with sought-after prizes, giveaways and awards. One of the biggest winners of the weekend was Elliott Kling, who won a Kawasaki Ninja 300 from Team Power-sports. The Ray Price Lucky Number prize board sent people home with everything from concert tickets and gift certificates to high-end riding gear. Those who didn’t win the first time around could register for Second Chance Prizes, which were drawn Sunday afternoon. Tattoofest’s annual tattoo contest awards were given out in 10 categories: Best Sleeve: 1st Place - Chris Humphrey, 2nd

Yancey County 12th Annual Toy Run

By: Michael Frederick AKA Freddie October 5th was a great day for a toy run in Yancey County. Registration started at 11am. A hundred and forty motorcycles signed up at Mountain Heritage High School and the ride started at 1:00 sharp. Off we all went back down through town on 19E to Hwy 80 S to the Blue Ridge Parkway. We got on the Parkway going east towards Spruce Pine turn off with a Yancey County es-cort. We got off going back though Spruce Pine on 226 back to 19E towards Burnsville and ended up back at the Town Square where hot dogs, hamburgers, cold slaw, chips, a drink, and dessert was waiting. While everyone was eating, they started giving away door prizes and selling 50/50 tickets. There were a lot of door prizes and the 50/50 raised $1050. Allen Boone, who owns Boone’s Motorcycle shop just outside of town, was the lucky one to win $525. He put $50 dollars in his pocket and gave the rest back to the kids. What a guy! It was a great day. I hope to see more bikes next year. Watch The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine Cruisin’ Calendar for the date and plan to join us. Thanks to all that participated, contributed, and gave door prizes.

2nd Annual Tim Diffin Memorial RunBy: Jeanie Hood-Carter It is hard to believe a year has passed. Last September, when Tim Diffin (friend and Bikers For Bikers Founda-tion member) suddenly passed away, BFBF did a memorial run and fund raiser. Tim and twin brother, Tom, were quite famous for Harley racing and hold a world record for Top Fuel to date. The memorial run event was so successful the participants requested it be made an annual event in memory of Tim. BFBF Board of Directors voted unanimously to do the annual event and, at Tom’s request, the funds raised would go to help local foster children. The 2nd Annual Tim Diffin Memorial Run was September 28th at The Dog House in Fayetteville. On Saturday morn-ing, Mickey arrived around 10am to set up at and, like last year’s event, there were already people waiting to register for the run. By Registration time at 11:00, the parking lot was full of motorcycles, bikers, family, and friends. Regis-tration was intense with BFBF Rally Volunteer Coordinator, Shawna Underwood, Dawn Potts, and Noel Forres assisting at the booth. If you have ever worked an event like this, you know it’s not a one person job! Kick Stands Up at high noon and the thrill of this ride was on, including Tim’s remains! Over 70 bikes pulled out for the ride with Tom and his son, JT, in lead. The rumble of many bikes pulling out together is one that always churns the gut and excites the soul. We now carry Tim but his memory, a legacy of love, will help carry the Cumberland County kids from now on at Christmas. Mugshots of Fayetteville was the first stop for a quick draw and fast drink, then on to Lost Memories in Spring Lake. Owner Jim Grubbs always makes the ride then tends bar upon arrival. Third stop was back to Fayetteville to J & J’s Tavern off Cumberland Drive. It was packed! Last stop was our an-nual visit to Mr. George Diffin, who is now over 90 and the father of the Diffin twins. There are many hugs and Mr. Diffin says he can handle more lady hugs any time! After paying respects to Mr. George it was back to The Dog House for food, live music, and prizes! This is one of the most wonderful yet bitter-sweet events ever attended. Evans Catering provides a catered meal annually for this event. It is their way of supporting the cause in memory of an old friend. There was Bar-B-Que Ribs, roasted pork loin, creamed potatoes, green beans, and rolls. I don’t know what Brian does to the ribs but at least six people have asked me! Nothing but bones were left and they went fast! Riding bikes makes you hungry no doubt and the food was great! 80’s Unplugged Band provided live music with a robust three man 80’s vibe that makes everyone want to sing along! A time of fun, food, and laughter filled the patio. It was a great event with $1400 raised off the run and a total of $1795 made for the day! The following Tuesday, October 01, Mickey and Tom delivered the check for the $1795 to the Cumberland County DSS for the Cumberland County Fos-

ter Children’s Christmas Fund. The entire department was extremely grateful. Funds are very limited for the 600 plus kids in the county’s foster care system. The stares from the surprised office personal when two big burley bikers entered the department were ones neither Mickey nor Tom will soon forget. However, good things come in biker packages! After the initial shock and the ladies in the department found out why Mickey and Tom were there, the ladies were grabbing for hugs of gratitude and sporting huge smiles! Mickey said he had never seen so many women grab Tom at one time! Joy filled the room in more ways than one. There is nowhere near enough support locally in this area of need. It was a happy day for all and an honor for BFBF to be able to do this. BFBF is looking for others in the county who would be interested in supporting the Cumberland County Foster Children’s Christmas Fund as well. As they say, “Every child deserves Christmas!” These children get very little and often have been through some pretty rough situations. Contact us at: [email protected]. BFBF thanks The Dog House, Evans Catering, Brian Evans, Mugshots, Lost Memories, J & J’s Tavern, Shawna and Bullet Underwood, Dawn and Jerry Potts, and Noel Forres who vol-unteered.

ALR Post 55 2013 Bike ShowBy: Caroline Each year, the American Legion Riders in Winston-Salem hold a bike show and fundraising event. This is one of the many ways they generate funds to help local Veterans as well as their other interests such as the American Children’s Home. One of the ways this event is so special is that ALR member, Jeff Hufford, designs and makes each trophy by hand. He uses motor and tool parts to come up with something different each year! Congratulations to these folks who won this year’s competi-tion: Trike: 1st Place - Ann Lovell, 2nd Place - Steve Rothrock. Old School: 1st Place - Mike Connor, 2nd Place - Jeff Hufford. Metric: 1st Place - Todd Harris, 2nd Place - Jeff Hufford. Cus-

tom: 1st Place - Shane Collins, 2nd Place - Ron Jones. Standard: 1st Place - Steve March, 2nd Place - Steve Shady, and People’s Choice: Steve March. There were some beautiful bikes there and each year the competition is fierce. The ALR raised over $500 this year for this one event, but they have many more planned so watch The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine Cruisin’ Calendar and come out to support them. The American Legion Riders of Post 55 is located at 111 Miller Street in Winston-Salem, NC.


Widow Maker 8th Annual Charity Poker RunBy: Kathy Johnson Once a year Widow Maker CDR organizes a large-scale charity poker run. Hank Thibodeau, owner of Widow Maker CDR, always has a child in mind as the recipient to receive the funds raised from the run. This year the special little girl’s name is Kiley Louise White. She is 18 months old. Kiley has Carcinoma as well as Syncytial Virus and Adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency that she fights daily. Hank puts his heart and hard work in this every year and it shows. His family, friends, customers, and just some good-hearted people fully support his mission. Registration was at Crazy Shots on N. Churton Street in Hillsborough on September 29th from 11am - 1pm, which gave every one plenty of time to make it. When we pulled up to Crazy Shots that morning, over 90 bikes filled the parking lot. Anne, Hank’s wife, and Mildred, his mother in law, were registering people for the ride, and his father in law, Jimmy, and his son, my little buddy Dawson, did quite a good job of supervising. As people waited to leave, they enjoyed some great chili that Tiny makes every year. I am sworn to secrecy, so, sorry my friends, no recipe for the beloved chili today! If you weren’t hungry, a couple cold ones from the bar seemed to do the trick and that it did. After that, it was time to get on our way. WOW! The weather was gorgeous given what a strange bit of weather we have had so far this year. It was for sure that the weather could not have been better for this run. Some people need to take it in and enjoy the ride more. Let me explain better, meaning it’s not about you, its about a sick child. If you still don’t get it, NO COMPLAINING, or as I say NO WYNING about stupid shit. As a whole, the day went great. Tim Slaughter won a hun-dred bucks with a flush and Elaine Baldwin won the 50/50 that gave her $250. The worst hand went to Michael Moore who was the big winner of fifteen bucks and he donated it to the kitty. Widowmaker’s auction went well, too. Most of the items were donated by friends or independent businesses as no big corporate sponsors this year. Another thing about Hank’s events; you will never go hungry at any event he has some-thing to do with, every one was well satisfied. Widowmaker CDR raised $4600 dollars that day with the help of all of you. He has a long list of thank yous, but before I get to that I have a question for all of you. The day of the Charity Run did any of you look at the endless sea of bikes and think to yourself Hank worked on practically all of them. I had some friends that even got theirs back the day before the run! So, your answer to my question is not multiple choice. Your answer is no one broke down. So, next time your enjoy-ing your ride and loving it, take the time to thank Hank for that dependable ride. Hear we go a big shout out to the blockers who through out the day looked out for every one and kept the cars off every-

one. Thanks go out to Unifirst, Fire Head Sports, Stay on line, 1000 donation, Spoiled Biker, Matco Tools, Fastenal, Carolina Custom Powder Coating, Carollina Ceramic Coating, Zack Mathews, Dean Overaker, Danielle Boston, Bullocks Hard-wood, Ron Barber, Diane Browning, James & Faith Bunn, Patrick Murphy, and a Special Thanks to all our stops for all their help and support.

Ground Breaking Ceremony Of The Triad Field Of Honor At Triad Park

By: Rose and Lloyd For the past seven years, there has been a dream in the making. As Bill Moss traveled the country, he realized there was not a monument in North Carolina that truly honored the 150,000 veterans living in the Triad region. He was compelled to do something. He spoke with Danny Bracken and together they made a plan. The plan came together with the veteran organizations in the Triad and with the amazing help from Jim Burgeo and Bill Knight, raising money and grants to make the dream a reality. The Guilford and Forsyth County Park Commissioners donated an eight-acre site in the heart of the Triad on Mountain Street between Kernersville and Greensboro, which is easily accessible from interstate 40. The Mission for the Carolina Field Of Honor is to honor the service of the men and women of The United States Armed Forces and to educate families and children who are able to have freedom, because of the sacrifices of these heros. There are very few that realize that today, living and walk-ing among us are heroes from Iwo-Jima, Saipan, Guadalcanal, Okinawa, Midway, The Philippines, Germany, Korea, Vietnam, Kosovo, Somalia, Desert Storm, Afghanistan, and Irag with many other missions and peace time assignments. The dream and passion of so many, including Richard “Rich” Brenner, an ex-Marine with a love of sports and motorcycle riding, but above all a love for his family. He also had a love for all veterans and worked to make this dream a reality. The dream made its first big step September 20, 2013. There was a groundbreaking ceremony held with hundreds of veter-ans and their families invited to attend. The event began with the Patriot Guard Riders and a few friends riding in and forming a flag formation around the cer-emony area. The beautiful American Heritage Girls started the ceremony by singing “God Bless America” and “American the Beauti-ful” and with tears in their eyes, everyone said the Pledge Of Allegiance. There was a beautiful dedication speech by Rob O’Hanlan and Danny Bracken. The chaplain led us in a prayer for the dedication and all the veterans it would honor. Then it was time to break ground. There were eight representatives to get the first shovels of dirt. Bill Moss-The founder and representing The Board Of Direc-

tors, Bruce Davis- Representing the Guilford County Commissioners, Da-vid Pyler - Representing the Forsyth County Commissioners, Brad Jones - Representing Rich Brenner who is no longer with us, but was there in spirit, Jim Burgio - Representing the Marine Corp Memorial as well as other Branches of the Military Doc Long - Representing the US Army as well as other Branches of the Military, Mike Anderson - Representing the Forsyth Parks and Recreation Department, and Marty Lawind - Representing the Guilford Parks and Recreation. The dedication and the memorial will be a wonderful heart felt part of this community and how we want to serve and remember our Military that protects us with the freedom and rights we so enjoy everyday.

The Memorial will serve all Armed Forces with a tribute of facts and key historical education. The Flag Walkway will tell the history and growth of the United States starting with the 13 colonies. The Amphitheater/Parade Deck will be an entertaining plat-form for concerts for military and other organizations, such as Boy Scouts, county schools, law enforcement, fire fighters, and many more. The Meanderind Walkway will tell the stories of other contri-butions to our nation’s military history with monuments to the Canine Corp, MIA/POW, Red Cross, Merchant Marines, and others. The Remembrance Brick Program is a way you can support The Carolina Field Of Honor by buying a brick to be used in various memorial walkways. You can personalize the brick with a loved one’s name that has served. What better way to honor a father, husband, mother, son, daughter, sister, or brother than having their name forever a part of this historical park? For details go to www.ncwmf.gov or contact Bill Moss at 336-851-0999. A truly heart felt thanks to the construction crew HICAPS. This is a small business owned by disabled veterans. To all the participants behind the scenes, cooking, providing food, park-ing cars, or just taking time to explain this to the attendees. Veterans are very close to my heart, since my grandfather was a hero in WWII, and Lloyd served 18 years in the Air Force, and both his sons serving, one in Army and one in Air Force. I truly see what they give of their lives to protect you and me everyday. It was an extreme honor to experience this historical event and to be a minor part of history in the making.


VHVH Benefit Ride

By Caroline On October 5th, the American Legion Riders had a benefit ride for the Veterans Helping Veterans Heal transitional facil-ity. This facility is in its second year of operation and cur-rently has 20 men living there and enrolled in their program. The program serves to rehabilitate homeless Veterans to help them with substance abuse issues and become self-sufficient. They help them to get the medical, educational and training support so they can find jobs and ultimately be able to support themselves. The ALR of Post 55 began their ride that Saturday morning, taking a route through scenic Stokes County then back to the VHVH facility in Winston-Salem. There the men had prepared a hot dog lunch and deserts for the riders. The ALR members were given a tour and were able to talk to many of the men who were residing there. Since the facility was started in 2011, local Veteran groups have welcomed the chance to help these guys out. Post 55 has been particularly active in helping to find needed items, mentoring the men, or just helping out around the facility. The ALR members have more activities planned to help these guys, so check the Cruisin’ Calendar for updates. You can also go to www. vhvh.org to find out more about the great job these folks are doing with our Veterans.

4th Annual Sandi’s Ride

By: Scott Wicker On Saturday, October 12th, friends and family gathered to ride in memory of our friend, Sandi Davis. Over 40 people registered and participated in the ride and many more came to honor and remember Sandi. People that didn’t even know Sandi personally were present to support the ride. Bonnie and Bobby Stout spoke of Sandi and her love of Harley-Davidsons and her devotion for our H.O.G. Chapter and her friendship with its members. Sandi was a very sweet spirited lady and if you ever met her or got to see her, she always had a beautiful smile on her face. We all were honored that Sandi’s husband, Randy, was present for the ride and to show his appreciation for everyone that helped organize and participate in this event that honored Sandi. Before the ride, beautiful white balloons were released in her honor. Bobby Stout led the ride to the Iron Gate Winery in the North Eastern part of Alamance County where they have several wines that the proceeds of sales go to Lung Cancer Research. T-Shirts were sold that were turquoise with white print. Sandi really loved these colors. Thanks to Down Home Harley-Davidson for providing music by the Megan Doss Band and for the food after the ride. Grillin’ and Chillin’! It was Great. Over $1,600.00 was raised to go to aid lung cancer research and to find a cure, all in the memory of Sandi. Thanks to everyone that participated for their support. We would like to thank Adams Towing, A Q Construction, Bonnie A. Stout Decorative Finishes, Burch Ranch, Charles Jones Construction, DeBruler Concrete, Down Home Harley-David-son, Foust & Holt Backhoe, Hughes Towing Inc., L.B.S. Bio-logical Inc., Marcel’s Catering of Chapel Hill, Mitch Oakley Trucking, Oakley Inc., Rick Mathena Builders, Roger Stutts Construction, and Woody’s Concrete Company for sponsoring this event.

7th Annual Ride For The Cure

By: Whistle This is a great event held in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness Month every year and October 5th was no excep-tion. Each year, “Ride for the Cure” continues to grow. In 2012, there were more than 100 riders, coming from commu-nities across the state and parts of southeast Virginia. Jenny Meyers and her staff at Eastern Radiology make this event happen. It is such a great event and it just gets bigger every year. Net proceeds from the annual “Ride for the Cure” and fund-raising efforts throughout the year are donated here in eastern North Carolina. The monies distributed are used to support breast cancer screenings, early detection programs, and to provide assistance to breast cancer patients during treatment. It was a perfect day. The weather was fantastic. Registration began at 8:30 and the fee included an event shirt. Kickstands up at about 10:15 and around 150 bikes roared off. They went on a 100-mile ride to Washington, Kinston, Hometown Harley-Davidson in Winterville, NC, then back to Eastern Radiology for the rest of the festivities. The car show was great, too. There were Broncos, Mustangs, Model Ts, Chopped Tops, and even jacked up trucks. I’m glad I was not a judge unless I had a trophy for everybody. WRNS 95.1 was broadcasting live from the scene, there was a 50/50 drawing, great food, and a really kickin band called Spare Change. If they are in your neighborhood, check them out. Until next year a big thanks goes out to the sponsors Home-town Harley-Davidson, Ward and Smith PA, and Eastern Radiology for being such a gracious hosts.

Trike For A Wounded Warrior

By: Old Spook Jeremiah (Jay) Arbogast, US Marines (Ret), is living his dream of riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle despite being a paraplegic in a wheelchair. On an early Friday morning, a group of veterans drove to Bluffton to meet with injured soldiers who were on a retreat sponsored by the Wounded Warrior Foundation. They were there to escort the troops, at the bequest of the Independence Fund and Gary Sinese’s Lt. Dan Band. In support of the troops, the Independence Fund housed the veterans at the Mar-riott Inn at Riverbank Park. One of the escorts was Bruce Richburgh, director of the Le-gion Riders Post 166 in Goose Creek. When Bruce got there, they asked if there were any trikes available to take some of the wounded veterans to Charleston. Jeremiah Arbogast, like a kid in a candy store, linked up with Bruce for the ride. He wasn’t on the bike 5 minutes when he broke out in a big grin and he swore he had to have a bike. When his wife met him with a wheelchair at the Marriott Inn, he told her she had to lose her crotch rocket and get him a trike. When the word got out that Jeremiah wanted a trike, Low Country Harley-Davidson stepped in and made it possible for the Arbogast’s to purchase the bike. On Saturday, October 5, Arbogast picked up his modified 2013 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide® Ultra Classic® trike. Holy City, an independent custom shop in Summerville, donated the air controlled hand shifter necessary for Jeremiah to control the bike with only his hands. A victim of PTSD, Arbogast’s injuries that left him para-lyzed from the waist down have not curbed his zest for life. As Jeremiah said, “Many people think that if you are in a wheel-chair, you are confined to it 24/7. I would rather live my life to the fullest. If there is a way to do something, I’ll figure it out.” From one veteran to another, “Live large brother and be safe downrange.”

Junior’s Bike Show

By: Grant Junior’s Bike Show was held at Tilley H-D of Salisbury on October 12th. This was the 14th year for this show. There could not have been a better day for the show. Low temps and a little overcast made it perfect for walking around and checking out the motorcycles. All donations went to “Help Stop Bullying In Schools”. There was a special Diva Class this year, but I was surprised only a few ladies entered. Hot dogs and Cheerwine were available and all the new 2014 bikes on the show room floor gave everyone something to look at while the judging took place. John Lemieux took Best Of Show with his ‘78 FXS Shovel. Come by Tilley Harley-Davidson to see the new 2014 models and pick out some new winter riding gear. It’s all here and ready to go.

Freedom Biker Church Of Monroe Open HouseBy Stan Gordon Another year has passed, as many souls have walked through the doors of Freedom Biker Church in Monroe, N.C. This year was, no doubt, the biggest and best as they gave away a custom built chopper from Old Skool Customs in Marshville, NC. The shovel/chopper was donated as a fundraiser for the church’s building fund. Since the congregation has grown considerably over the years, they need more room. Music was provided by the house praise band, which leads the church every Sunday in up beat, mostly original songs. As I attend many events such as this, it was noticeably dif-ferent in the fact that it was highly organized. Assistant Pastor, Roland Hinson, lead a group of workers who were on point with the duties they were given, and it all went off without a snag. There are many church biker ministries in the area and they all have various missions, but FBC of Monroe just wants to be recognized as a church for bikers, a place where one can go dressed as you are, traveling as you wish, and know that all are welcome there as children of God. Over the years, churches have put too many restrictions on their flock in how we dress, traditions that are long outdated. No, God hasn’t budged on right and wrong, but it is very pos-sible that he never meant to place such restrictions on man to begin with. Man did that to himself.

Anyway, the folks that attended on Sunday, September 29th would all agree that the food was outstanding, the fellowship was genuine, and the Love of Christ was apparent. If you are ever traveling through Monroe, NC on a Sunday morning, it is our prayer that you stop in and worship with us and experience this Love among a group of sinners that love the Lord and love to ride motorcycles. Remember, if you are wondering where you fit in, our church motto is: Sinners Welcome, Others Tolerated!

The PERFECT Boot

By: Renea When I picked out the “Mackena” boot by Harley-Davidson, I was basing my decision solely on looks. The boot had a very stylish appearance and so I chose it. Little did I know that once I received them exactly how comfortable they were in addition to looking GREAT! As soon as I received them, I immediately had to try them on. They fit perfectly and I was so tickled with how nice they were. I have worn them around and they are an extremely comfortable pair of boots. Whoever designed these boots hit the nail right on the head. These are great boots to wear while riding PLUS if you would like to have a nice pair of boots to wear with some dress slacks, they fit that occasion, too. The genuine leather upper is soft and with this being a “pull on” boot it made it very easy to just slide them right on. The soles are not big, bulky, and heavy. They are light and just mold to your foot. I was especially pleased with the design of the heal. It is just the right size. I am not very graceful with heals, the Mackena has just enough height to make it easy to walk in and not feel awkward but still have the style of a boot with a heal. I have had a bunch of compliments on this fantastic boot ranging from a child who loves to wear the latest fashions to a distinguished lady from another country. I feel very confident in saying that if you choose this style of Harley-Davidson boot that you will not be the least little bit disappointed. If you ever run across these boots in your favorite store, BUY THEM!

8th Annual Ribbon Ride For Friends Of The

Cancer Center

By: Tara Brisson Hinton The 8th Annual Ribbon Walk & Ride for Cape Fear Valley Health Foundation’s Friends of the Cancer Center was held in downtown Fayetteville on September 21. Over 1,200 partici-pants walked and rode in the 5K walk and motorcycle ride that benefits local cancer patients at Cape Fear Valley Cyberknife and Cancer Treatment Center. The event continues to grow, as does the need of our patients. Proceeds directly support cancer patients at Cape Fear Valley in providing financial assistance to those in dire need with their mortgage, rent, utilities, medi-cations, wig vouchers, gas vouchers, massages, reflexology, and many support programs. Ribbon Walk & Ride set a first time goal of $100,000, which is a large increase from just 7 years ago raising just over $6,000. But with the support of our participants, survivors, caregivers, local businesses and organizations, we were able to raise over $114,500! We are thrilled to be able to continue helping our patients and families as they are in a difficult time. We welcome participants from all over to walk or ride with us in helping our loved ones. You could be helping your loved one, friend, or neighbor. Join us next year for the 9th Annual Ribbon Walk & Ride on Sept. 20, 2014. www.ribbonwalkforcancer.org

4th Annual American Legion Riders

State Meet And GreetBy: Old Spook The fourth annual American Legion Riders State Meet and Greet took place on the 21st of September on the athletic fields of Hemingway, SC.The head of the Legion Riders, Wayne Richardson of Post 84 hosted the event, which turned out to be a big success. Riders from all over the state came together to just enjoy the ride and the fellowship of other Legion Riders. Nearly 100 bikes and over 150 members participated in the event. As a member of the Legion Riders I found that the meet gave members a chance to put a face on the people we talk with and communicate with on Facebook. Another way to look at it is a chance to tell some lies and swap some beers. I am looking forward to this one next year.


The Fall BrawlBy: Mark Infield There has never been a finer day for an outdoor music event than September 28th was. Mid 70’s and sunshine brought out the bikers and The Fall Brawl at The Motorcycle Park next to Greensboro Harley-Davidson was under way. This is such a nice venue for an event. There is grass all around two huge oak trees with Chunk’s Hawg Haven right smack in the middle of it all. Of to the side there are large umbrellas and a covered area where the Triad HOG chapter and the Triad Bad Lasses were selling hamburgers, hot dogs, and soft drinks. Add a permanent stage and music and you have a recipe for fun. Mitchell Street, a two-man band started off the music at 11am as the bikes began to roll in. Freedom Biker Church of Greensboro was there to greet everyone and reach out to those who had spiritual needs or were looking for a church home that fit their lifestyle. The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine was set up directly in front of the food court and right behind the beer tub, so we had the best of both worlds. Karney Law Firm was also on site to present the Triad Bull Dog Hero Awards, but first Passin’ Thru entertained the crowd which had grown substantially.There is a separate story about the Triad Bull Dog Hero Awards in this issue, so I will not revisit it here other than to say thank you to Karney Law Firm and congratulations to all the nominees. Where’s Eddie played music leading up to the Cheerwine – Q104.1 New Country bike giveaway. This drew the crowd down front, as it was a reverse raffle. Entrants were eliminated one by one groaning down to Jesse Hutton of Cleveland, NC who won the Harley-Davidson Sportster Iron 883. After all that drama, Too Far Gone entertained those who remained on into the evening. It was a picture perfect day and if you missed The Spring Fling, The Summer Bash, or The Fall Brawl at The Motorcy-cle Park, I advise you to make it a point to attend these events next year. It wouldn’t be right not to thank Mark Wheelihan, owner of Greensboro Harley-Davidson for his vision and investment to make The Motorcycle Park such a great place to hang out. If you never have been then a visit is in order. There doesn’t have to be an event to enjoy this little oasis. You can visit anytime. It is located at 536 Farragut Street in Greensboro, NC just off Randleman Road right where I-85 and I-40 come to-gether. Be sure to check out the dealership while you are there. Chunk’s hours are listed in their ad in this issue or at facebook.com/ChunksHawgHavenBar .

9th Annual Confederate Heritage Ride

By: Old Spook On September 28th, The 9th Annual Con-federate Heritage Ride, hosted by Secession Camp #4 of Charleston, SC turned out to be a big surprise for Old Spook. This was not your typical run-of-the-mill ride. My bud, Dennis Lemon, told me that I would really enjoy this one and he was right on! The run centered on stops that were of sig-nificance during the Civil War. Riders were given questionnaires whose answers could be found at each of the stops where guides gave lectures concerning the stop’s history. Stops included the exhibit of the H.L. Hun-ley at the old naval base, Ft. Moultrie, and the old Coast Guard Station on Folly Beach. One of the events covered was the Battle of Battery Wagner on its 150th anniversary. The island on which the battle took place has since disappeared but we were able to see Morris Light House near where the battle occurred. The participants with the most correct answers were given prizes for first, second, and third places. I found that the authenticity of the uniforms worn by the lecturers brought you back to the time of the events, allowing you to relive the experience of the battles. The money raised by Secession Camp #4 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans go to historical projects such as the preservation of the H.L. Hunley submarine, grave main-tenance, battlefield preservation, monument preservation, and flag preservation. Due to the research and efforts of the author, Clive

Cussler, the H.L. Hunley was recovered. Its preservation has been an on going project. You might want to check out Cussler’s book, “Sea Hunters” that chronicles his discoveries as well as the discovery of the H.L. Hunley on May 5, 1995. Last year the run brought in over $5000 with 300 plus participants. This year over 390 bikes and 450 people par-ticipated. It turned out to be the best year this run has seen and with what I saw, I will be making a return trip next year. The ride, one of the largest in the low country, usually draws 250 bikes annu-ally from all over the south. This year over 400 bikes showed up. These sponsors continue to support this cause every year.

R.I.P. Nick Prianos, Jr.

By: Wendy Rogers There was a terrible tragedy that happened on October 6th 2013. Nick Prianos Jr., of Fayetteville died in a motorcycle accident, at age 47. He was a father of two who served in the US Army for 4 years. Then Nick worked 25 years for the U.S. Army as a civilian contractor as an aircraft and helicopter me-chanic. He was a motorcycle enthusiasts and business partner with Jennifer (Gin) Hendrix after opening Gin’s Speed Shop on Raeford Road in Fayetteville just this year. He was not only a great business partner to Gin; he was also her partner in life, as in, her fiancée. They were about to get married. Nick was an enthusiastic and respected person of the local area, especially of the biker community and an excellent and particular motorcycle mechanic with a passion for creating and building custom bikes. A memorial service was held for Nick at Freedom Biker Church, Saturday, Oct. 12th. Family and friends packed the church to celebrate his life. Nick’s sister, Carol, shared about his life growing up and his love of family. Jennifer brought the church to tears as she shared about the love of her life, and several others shared about the kind of man, friend, and person Nick was. Two members of the Infidels M/C presented the flag to the family. Nick will be missed by many, but never forgotten. R.I.P. Nick.

Dragon Slayers Anniversary Bash

By: Caroline I was invited to attend this event on Saturday, October 12th and, as promised, it was a great way to spend a Saturday after-noon. The overcast skies kept the heat back and the rain held off until that night so that the outdoor party was outstanding! I thoroughly enjoyed the barbeque, potato salad, and banana pudding while listening to the popular local band, Bluez Junkie. The Dragon Slayers are a statewide club that supports fire-fighters and like to ride. The Forsyth County Chapter hosted riders locally as well as from Wake and Johnson County. The Dragon Slayers are a great group of people and an asset to the biker community. This event was open to the public so the next time you see it in the Cruisin’ Calendar, make plans to attend.


Sue Pariseau Rides Again!By: Everette “EZ” Short On Saturday, September 21st, I had the distinct pleasure of riding with a group of outstand-ing individuals who look like any ole’ rag-tag band of misfits, while we celebrated the life and times of Sue Pariseau. Although she left us in 2008, more than seventy riders showed up to share personal memories and stories to say that she is still alive in their hearts and minds. By the time I pulled in at the World Famous little bar known as Patty’s Dew Drop Inn just off Highway #544 in Surfside, both the front and back parking lots were full. Inside, a packed house of boisterous bikers were already whooping up a great time, loudly spilling into the dirt lot out back. A little after noon-thirtyish, we put the kickstands up for a quick jaunt with JC (who rode with us all throughout the day) to the infamous City Line Saloon, on King’s Highway across from Myrtle Beach Harley-Davidson. Hats off to Tony and Scotty for handling everyone with the utmost of gentle care, before we headed to the razor’s edge of Myrtle Beach for a quick moment in Donny’s Saloon. Kirsten, and Donny himself, were both behind the bar, slinging cold drinks like some kinda out-of-control pitching machine hopped up on $50 worth of quarters. It seems that we had somehow interrupted a bizarre photo shoot for “Neon” magazine when we got there, but that’s a whole other story involving Doctor Sphincter and the menacing Shims on a search for the missing wieners. It was real life Sci-Fi “Film at 11” kinda stuff. Now, I have been on this ride twice and I stop into Donny’s Saloon all the time, but I never really noticed the little stone wishing well that sits just outside the front door. While we all made a circle around this little rock monument, I felt kinda stupid when I read the beautiful wooden plaque hung across the beam. It said, “This drinking well is dedicated to Sue Pariseau and all of our friends we have lost”. When all those gentle giants lifted their cup for a toast and poured a bit in while a prayer was said, it was a heartfelt moment. Have you ever looked at something a gazillion times and never seen it? Wow, what a humbling scene, to witness all the lives this woman had touched during her brief stay. After the tears were dried with hugs and kisses, we zoomed over to Hollywood’s, a very private bar off the Hwy #17 Bi-Pass in Socastee, where dogs, chips, and drinks were flying off the bar, outta the kettles and into hungry mouths so fast that I don’t even remember eating the one I had. Cat and company had us covered. Thanks, ‘cause we needed it.

Then, it was off to the Sundowner in Surfside to check on some college football scores over a cold pitcher, before rolling back to Patty’s to finish off the night with full blown BBQ, Karaoke singing, some severe drinking games, and a lot of story sharing about a woman who will never be forgotten. All the proceeds were donated to the Children’s Recovery Center. Long live Sue Pariseau in the hearts that ride with her memory inside them.

10th Annual Derek Ellis Memorial RideBy: Ashley D. Ellis On the news, we are witness to events including motorcy-clist that show anger, violence, and arrogance. By portraying motorcyclists in this manner, some citizens assume that all people who put their hand on the throttle are like that. Fear and intimidation is not the goal of the true biker. One young man represented the ideals of a “true biker” as defined by Webster and the motorcycle community. That young man, Derek Dean Ellis, left for Heaven ten years ago but is remembered for being genuine, steadfast, and loyal and for his love of motorcycles. Derek’s mother, Kim, says, “It was very difficult for Derek to tell a lie as a child. The times when he would initially tell a lie to keep himself, sisters and/or friends out of trouble, however he always came back with the truth - even before the truth was discovered - because it just tore him apart inside to think he had been untruthful. He would rather face the consequence than live with the guilt. “. “When I was down, Derek knew exactly what to say and could wash away any gray cloud with a smile and a hug, and his hugs were the best. He didn’t just put his arms around you and squeeze, he pulled you in and made all that was bad melt away into smiles. My brother was the kind of guy that could comfort a crying stranger because he truly cared for people. He was authentic. Derek was always Derek. I miss his smile.” shares Ashley, Derek’s baby sister. Tina, the oldest of the Ellis children, remembers Derek as a young man who stood up for what was right and always put family and friends first. “I could be so mad at something, Derek would start talking to me, within a few minutes I was laughing, and my anger had changed to happiness He was a normal little brother in some ways; aggravating his sisters. From a young age, Derek had ability to sense something was bothering me and make it OK. We all miss him.” “Derek was my high school sweetheart. He was my dream guy, so handsome, so sweet, and so cool. Derek was a FREE SPIRIT. He definitely marched to the beat of his very own drummer. He loved being part of the biking family, he loved tattoos, for a while he loved long hair. Derek did what he wanted to do. I will forever be blessed for having been a part of his world,” reminisces Jill, Derek’s widow. Jill shares, “Being able to bring his 2 little legacies, Kendall and Ethan, into the world has allowed me continue to be with him through them. Kendall was absolutely the most loved, cherished, and appreciated little girl by her father that there

has ever been. Ethan was only 3 months old at the time of his death, and did not get the chance to experience Derek’s love as a father. However, Derek’s strong, passionate love for his son was evident. ” “Derek wanted to own his own shop where he could build and work on the bikes he loved. He liked to do his own designs and was a big fan of Jesse James. He was going to

school at MMI even though he had been working at a motorcy-cle shop for 3 or so years. Derek came home to be with his fam-ily when Ethan was to be born. Derek was killed a few hours before he was to leave with his family to Florida to finish out his dream to be a builder.” Ed-die explains when asked about Derek’s love for motorcycles. Eddies recalls, “He could ride the hell out of a dirt bike and thought he was immortal when he rode. Derek pushed because the only person he re-ally competed with was himself. He loved and did well in team

sports, but when it came to motorcycles, building them or rid-ing them, he had to push to be better than himself each time. While he was married, he wrecked and broke his collarbone and several other bones. I told him that he ought not to be doing that crazy stuff because he had a wife and kid. Derek’s love of motorcycles was second only to the love of his family, so he backed down on the wild stunts after that. “ The 10th Annual Derek Ellis Memorial Ride is a time for mo-torcycle enthusiasts, family, and friends to come together for a moment of peace and reflection. Through the rain and Septem-ber chill, friends and family left Easy Eddie’s in Mooresville at noon on the 21st for a ride to Derek’s gravesite. There Eddie, Ashley, and Ken Jordan shared thoughts about Derek and life in God’s hands. Riders in Recovery, a local MC to which Ed-die belongs, provided traffic blocking all along the route and did so to honor their brother’s son’s memory. Even the cool misting ride could not dampen the spirits of the crowd gathered at the shop for a catered BBQ dinner, fel-lowship, and the amazing music of the Part-Time Blues Band. Door prizes of gifts from local dining spots and other busi-ness that were given away added to the enjoyment of a day of celebrating life. The annual Derek Ellis Memorial Ride gives all proceeds to the education fund for Derek’s children. If you would like to donate to the fund or purchase ride t-shirts, please email [email protected]. The memory of a young man who left the earth too soon reminds all to smile through the sadness, be kind and sincere, and live life the way you want. Derek will always be missed. He was a damn fine example of a “true biker”.

Spartan NegotiatorA Book Review

By: WildThing For all the fans of author John F. Saunders character, Frank Kane in “The Last Spartan”, you will be thrilled with the second installment of his adventures in the “Spartan Negotiator”. Even though both volumes could be read as stand alone stories, I recommend reading them in order. Although the characters and story line are woven together, important background information in the first book helps the reader to more fully grasp the twists and turns in the plot of the second one. The prologue sets the stage for Frank Kane’s adventure in “Spartan Nego-tiator” by relating an assignment Kane performed for the Spartan Motorcycle Club. In this encounter, he denied he was Kane, but the reader is supposed to know that was not true. This story is gener-ously laced with facts about the warriors of ancient Sparta, whose beliefs and eth-ics were espoused by Kane and to some extent the now-defunct, fictional Spartan Motorcycle Club. Frank is pulled from his innocuous life and asked to negotiate the release of his employer’s sister-in-law who is being held by unknown thugs until her husband completes his deal with the thugs. This simple overview is just the beginning of the path Frank takes to discover who

and why she is being held and to form and execute the plan for obtaining her release. Even Frank’s trip to the location of the kid-napping has its share of drama. The book also has a subplot involving Frank’s home life with friends from the previous novel. A line from the Prologue gives the reader a little insight into what is going to happen: “If Kane shows up to negotiate, people die. Lots of people.” You are at the top of the roller coaster as Frank begins his journey, “He would do whatever was necessary, and may the gods help anyone who stood in his way.” The reader will enjoy the complexity of the plot as well as how the author brings in characters from Frank’s past to spice up the action. I found this book to be just as exciting as the first, a very easy read that keeps you on the edge of your seat, with a generous help-ing of intrigue, a little love, and a portion of violence as Frank honors his pledge to find and free the captives. In the “Spartan Negotiator”, John Saunders, Jamestown, NC native, has further whet my appetite for Frank Kane to show up in another novel. I will keep you posted!

10th Annual Frances R. Willis

SPCA Pawker Run

By: Charles Botts Celebrating its 10th year of helping homeless and ne-glected four-legged friends, the 10th Annual Frances R. Willis SPCA Pawker Run was held Saturday, September 14th at the Dorchester Shrine Club in Summerville, SC. For a $20 entry fee riders got a high quality, completely redesigned t-shirt, a well-stocked gift bag, and a barbecue din-ner and homemade dessert at the end of the ride. In addition, members of the Hunley Camp #143 were on hand with a full-sized replica of the Hunley on display. Double Naught Spies, a local rock band, provided the music. The Pawker Run featured ten stops along a roughly 75-mile route. Two of those stops, the Frances R. Willis Animal Shelter and Low Country Harley-Davidson were mandatory. Riders needed at least five lottery draws to make an official lottery hand. With ten stops, a rider could double their chances of drawing a winning hand. At two of the stops there were even “wild draw” chances, which further upped the riders’ chances of finishing the run with a winning hand. 587 riders participat-ed making this run the biggest yet. Over $25,000 was raised for the animal shelter. Without the hard working, generous volunteers from such organizations as the Frances R. Willis SPCA, Kapstone em-ployees, H.L. Hunley Camp #143, and Junior Service League of Summerville, the event would not happen.


Fall Beach Rally 2013 Rolls DeepBy: Everette “EZ” Short The 2013 Fall Rally at The Beach is now history, but I can still hear motorcycles roaring up and down the Strand from my perch on the front porch. For a week prior, the sound of rolling thunder was everywhere down here, as bikers piled in from every direction. Even without official numbers, I can tell you first-hand that there were more riders here than at any Fall Rally since 2008 and it was a great thing. While North Myrtle Beach hosted big crowds at the SC HOG Rally, Murrell’s Inlet was packed with over 250 bikes participating on the 100 plus mile long ride called “The Loop” on Thursday. In Little river, The Swingbridge Saloon welcome party was a big hit with the best BBQ ever, live bands all week long including The Porch Crickets and the ever loved Sunset Band, a daily kick-ass dosage of Karaoke, and a top notch celebra-tion that lasted from Thursday until the wee hours of Monday morning. Obviously, no one wanted to go home. In Murrell’s Inlet, Coastal Victory / Indian showcased their gorgeous new line of Indians and hosted free demo rides on all their Victory motorcycles all week long with a dyno-tune trail-er setup to wring out all the ponies. All along the Inlet strip, our favorite three man rock-a-billy powerhouse, Rebel Son, played to crowds so thick and heated that my camera melted down in the middle of an overwhelming crowd of bodacious, leathered up biker babes. Friday night, on the North end, Preacher Stone gave one hell of an exhibition of what music used to be like, with a non-stop high-energy concert that started late, but lasted until Saturday morning at The Pirates Cove. Hats off to Preacher Stone, who played continuously without a break throughout the night. Saturday night, Rebel Son was in full on rocking the house down mode, when their equipment overheated, causing a big ole’ sweaty moonshine drinking delay at SBB. Meanwhile in the pit, Stripclub Choppers, Camtech, and Bill Gorby’s crew all showed up with their high end monster bag-gers sporting fire-breathing stripper poles and ground pound-ing burnouts on bikes that you wouldn’t have thought ever left the trailer. In Surfside, Patty’s Dew Drop Inn was packed full and, of course, there were more great bikes, bikers, bands, and sexy hot babes up and down the Strand than I can even mention. If you saw someone or a ride that stands out, give us a shout and include a picture of ‘em. To be honest, this five day long whoop ass fiesta of flesh and steel, running along 60 miles of asphalt coastline, in full throttle roar from one end of the Strand to the other, seemed like one incredibly long day, as we barely got home with the sunrise in our faces, when it was time to get up and run to the next charity event or bike show. With more bikes roaming the streets than I have seen in the fall over the last five years, I think we were incredibly blessed

with few attitudes, accidents, or mishaps during the rally. God bless the riders we lost on their way home and our prayers go out to Jennifer Hendrix, who is in the hospital in Charlotte. I remember one party animal saying, “It don’t cost noth-ing to be nice...” and that’s the best buy you can make at the beach. We look forward to seeing you and all your rowdy friends come back to the beach May 9-18, 2014.


JDRF Benefit Ride

By: Gray Stout On Saturday, September 14, 2013, Glen Raven Custom Fab-rics Plant 1 hosted a bike ride to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). The ride began at the Glen Raven walking track in Glen Raven, NC. There were about 35 participants on 25 beautiful motorcycles. The event was kicked off by a brief presentation by a JDRF representative and a speech by a young person with diabetes. All the partici-pants were encouraged by the young person’s experience with diabetes and how he learned to cope with his illness. His pres-ence and speech added real meaning to the ride. After a prayer for safe travels, the group was briefed on the ride and the route. The ride began at 10:30 am sharp. The ride lasted about one and half hours around the beautiful country-side in Alamance County. The ride went well and all the riders returned safely. Upon their return to Glen Raven, the riders were treated to pizza, fruit, cookies, soft drinks, bottled water, and raffle prizes. The raffle prizes included stadium coolers, a toolbox and wrenches, Harley-Davidson apparel and hats, and many restaurant gift cards. The event was a tremendous success and raised more than $600 for JDRF. The Plant 1 organizing group thanks all the riders for their kind contributions and participation. Also, thanks go out to all the volunteers and many businesses that made gift contributions.

Socko’s Sunday Mystery Memorial Ride

By: Judy Bortz Tony “Socko” Santisi was born August 12th in Boston, MA. He made his home here in Wilmington, NC for about 10 years, and worked in the parts department at Carolina Coast Harley-Davidson. He was the first to welcome new riders to the area, and made everyone feel like family! Tony loved to get groups together for Sunday rides, keeping the destination a surprise for the group. Everyone that went on those mystery rides had a blast. Tony knew how to put a ride together! He moved from Wilmington 2 years ago to take a job as a Tech for JP Cycles in FL, but always kept his NC friends close. It was a huge shock for everyone that knew him when he died suddenly at work at only 43 years old. Joe Peterson of Performance Cycles was like a brother to Tony, and he, along with Tony’s sister Pam, and a few close friends decided the best way to honor Socko and give his Wilmington friends a chance to say goodbye was a great ride! The Socko’s Sunday Mystery Memorial was born! On September 8th, over 70 friends and family turned up to honor Socko and have one last adventure in his name. Joe and Julie Peterson led the ride on Tony’s dresser. We left Wilming-ton to stop at New River H-D in Jacksonville, and then back to town to hit a few favorite watering holes, and back to Perfor-mance Cycles where everyone had a great time reminiscing. It was a beautiful day, and a great ride! Lots of Socko stories and memories were told, tears were shed, and laughter was shared! It was a fitting farewell to one of Wilmington’s finest! RIP Socko; hope you enjoyed the ride, brother!

21 And Legal – SC H.O.G. Rally 2013

By: WildThing This year, the 21st annual South Carolina Harley Owners Group Rally, was again, back to its roots in North Myrtle Beach. Celebrating 21 years, the rally was cast as “21 and Legal – old enough to know better, but young enough not to care”! The host hotel and venue for most of the activities was the spectacular Ocean Drive Resort in North Myrtle Beach, SC, a premiere location, with lovely wide white sand beach on the ocean side, and facing Main Street on the city side. For the second year in a row, the Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine was please to perform the duties of The Official Magazine of the SC H.O.G. Rally and as such, Mark, Lincoln, and I were shooting photos at all the activities and enjoying the camaraderie of the rally staff and participants. Thursday, there had been several runs that early registrants could participate in that would continue through the weekend, all designed to get everyone out on rides or the H.O.G. Trot on Main Street to visit sponsoring businesses. A “Night Lights” Bike Show started at dusk on the outside patio between the Spanish Galleon and the O.D. Beach Club. It was cool to see the lit up bikes against the backdrop of the hotel’s neon lights. The opening ceremony on Thursday evening, October 3rd was held in the Spanish Galleon. It began with a pre-sentation of colors, the Pledge of Allegiance and the singing of the Star Spangled Banner. GiGi Stone, the Rally Coordinator,

stepped in front of the crowd and introduced visi-tors from the Harley-Davidson Motor Company, and all the rally coordinators that the participants would be seeing as each activity unfolded. The she went on to mention the major sponsors of the rally, the participating Harley-Davidson dealers and the H.O.G. chapters involved, and mentioned some of the activities that were planned. NMB Mayor Marilyn Hartley declared the rally open, Happy 21st Birthday presents were exchanged and the band, Jim Quick and the Coastline Band, took the stage and the party was on! Friday’s activities started early with a 9am Guided Ride and ended at a swank bed and breakfast for lunch. There was a very interesting Tech Talk by engineers from Michelin Tires that was very informative on their motorcycle tires safety features. They sure made me want a pair!

They had a drawing and gave away a set to a very luck rally participant. The early afternoon schedule offered Biker Bingo in the O.D. Beach Club. The prizes for the winners were goodies from the dealers and sponsors and made everyone happy. The tattoo contest was held in the late afternoon around the pool. There were 37 entries and Boot, owner of Aces High Tattoos, and two of his staff, Brock and Tosha, judged them. Emcee for the affair was Dale Greene from Dirty Dick’s Crab Shack and he announced four runners-up who received t-shirts, koozies, and gift certificates. John Lewis from Colum-bia was the overall winner and received a $100 certificate to Aces High and a $50 certificate to Dirty Dick’s Crab Shack. The day was only half over! The City of North Myrtle Beach

closed off several blocks of Main Street between 7 and 9 pm, set up a stage, and sponsored a concert featuring Jive Mother Mary. At least 30 bikes lined up in front of the stage for the “Ride-N-Shine” Bike Show. There were seven classes and a Peoples Choice. Everyone enjoyed strolling around checking out the bikes and listen-ing to the music. Several of the shops stayed open to take advan-tage of the traffic. Plaques were awarded to the winners and then the folks wandered off to the next activity – a pool party! GiGi had a huge, (and delicious) birthday cake for everyone to enjoy and a 50/50 drawing. They whooped it

up on the pool deck till late in the evening.


Saturday was the final day and the registration room was being dismantled in the morning as rally goers turned in their collected poker run sheets and ABC’s of Touring entries. Shag Lessons were offered at 11 am in the O.D. Beach Club, one of the most famous shag hot spots in North Myrtle Beach. Just as it was getting hot, there was the scheduled group photo shot on the beach in front of the hotel. Then it was on across the street in front of the hotel for the bike games. The Closing Ceremony was held in the evening at the Span-ish Galleon and they announced the location of the next SC H.O.G. Rally – they are going to the upstate to Anderson, SC in the spring of 2015 with a new rally coordinator, Dennis Chapman! GiGi was stepping down and had a huge “thank you” for all of her committee and helpers! This rally had plenty of activities and the Grand Strand has plenty of places to ride and enjoy and Mother Nature sure cooperated with some great weather. There are tons of pictures of the rally at www.FullThrottleMagazine.com and click on The SC H.O.G. Rally logo and download as many as you like free!

Performance Cycles Open House

By: Judy Bortz There were a lot of events happening on October 5th in and around the Wilmington area, including Fall Bike Week in Myrtle Beach, but many friends and neighbors still stopped in for the Grand Opening of Performance Cycles of Wilmington. The shop owned and operated by “Smokin Joe” Peterson and wife, Julie, has been open and operating since April 1st, and has built a loyal following. (Myself among them!) The band Stompin Ground played great classis old rock-n-roll throughout the afternoon. The enormous buffet was devoured by everyone who came by, many stopping in on their way south to Bike Week. Not only does Joe build and repair customs and Harleys, they hired mechanic Noah Jones previously of Britt Mo-torsports, and Eric Knowles so they can expand the repair business to include all makes and models. Performance Cycles is also licensed to do NC state inspections. If you need a part they don’t have in stock, they can get it for you. With the best prices in town this is a “must stop” shop if you do your own wrenching! The shop is located on Carolina Beach Road and with the buildings bold orange, black, and white paint you can’t miss it! So, if you didn’t get to the Open House stop in and give them a shout of support, you won’t be disappointed! Rubber side down my friends!

SPOKES

& JOKES

The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine staff screens hundreds of jokes each month. We make no claim to being politically correct. Most PC jokes just aren’t funny. If you are offended by any of the jokes on this page, take heart in the fact that we go to great lengths to offend everyone equally. This is not a hate crime! At our house we call it “pickin” and it is symbolic of your acceptance in the group. We live in the United

States Of The Offended, so get over it!!

My wife found out that our dog (a Schnau-zer) could hardly hear, so she took it to the veterinarian. The vet found that the problem was hair in the dog’s ears. He cleaned both ears, and the dog could then hear fine. The vet then proceeded to tell Andrea that, if she wanted to keep this from recurring, she should go to the store and get some “Nair” hair remover and rub it in the dog’s ears once a month. Andrea went to the store and bought some “Nair” hair remover. At the register, the pharmacist told her, “If you’re going to use this under your arms, don’t use deodorant for a few days.” Andrea said, “I’m not using it under my arms.” The phar-macist said, “If you’re using it on your legs, don’t use body lotion for a couple of days.” Andrea replied, “I’m not using it on my legs either. If you must know, I’m using it on my Schnauzer.” The pharmacist said, “Well, stay off your bicycle for about a week.”

Remember when everything was terrible, and then the government solved all our problems? ME NEITHER!

An Arizona Highway Patrol officer stops a Harley for traveling faster than the posted speed limit, so he asks the biker his name. “Fred,” he replies. “Fred what?” the officer asks. “Just Fred,” the man responds. The of-ficer is in a good mood, thinks he might just give the biker a break, and write him out a warning instead of a ticket. The officer then presses him for the last name. The man tells him that he used to have a last name but lost it. The officer thinks that he has a nut case on his hands but plays along with it. “Tell me, Fred, how did you lose your last name?” The biker replies, “It’s a long story, so stay with me. I was born Fred Johnson. I studied hard and got good grades. When I got older, I realized that I wanted to be a doctor. I went through college, medical school, internship, residency, and finally got my degree, so I was Fred Johnson, MD. After awhile, I got bored being a doctor, so I decided to go back to school. Dentistry was my dream! Got all the way through school, got my degree, so then I was Fred Johnson, MD, DDS. Got bored doing dentistry, so I started fooling around with my assistant and she gave me VD, so now I was Fred Johnson, MD, DDS, with VD. Well, the ADA found out about the VD, so they took away my DDS. Then I was

Fred Johnson, MD, with VD. Then the AMA found out about the ADA taking away my DDS because of the VD, so they took away my MD leaving me as Fred Johnson with VD. Then the VD took away my Johnson, so now I am Just Fred.” The officer walked away in tears, laughing.

Morris Schwartz is dying on his deathbed. He is with his nurse, his wife, his daughter and 2 sons. Knowing the end is near he says, “Bennie, I want you to take the Beverly Hills houses. Sybil, take the apartments over in Los Angeles Plaza. Hymie, I want you to take the offices over in City Center. Sarah, my dear wife, please take all the residen-tial buildings downtown.” The nurse is just blown away and as Morris slips away, she says to the wife, “Mrs. Schwartz, your hus-band must have been such a hard working man to have accumulated so much proper-ty.” Sarah replies, “Property shmoperty! The schmuck had a newspaper route.”

I went to the bookstore and asked the clerk for the self-help section. He said if he told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my Remington 870 right in the door-way. I gave it four shells and left it alone and went about my business. While I was gone, the mail gal delivered my mail, the trash man picked up the trash, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few of my neighbors drove past. Well, after about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sit-ting there, right where I had left it. It hadn’t killed anyone, even with the numerous op-portunities it had been presented to do so. In fact, it hadn’t even loaded itself. Well, you can imagine my surprise, with all the media hype about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people. Either the media is wrong, and it is the misuse of guns by criminals, or I have one of the laziest shotguns ever made. I must hurry off now and check on my spoons. I hear they are making people fat.

Guess what I got today? Just wanted to let you know, today I received my Fiscal De-fault Survival Pack from the White House. It contained a tattered, holey parachute, an ‘Obama Hope & Change’ bumper sticker, an ‘It’s Bush’s Fault’ yard sign, a ‘Blame Boeh-

ner’ poster, a ‘Tax the Rich’ banner, an ap-plication for unemployment, an application for food stamps, a prayer rug, a letter of as-signation of debt to my grandchildren, and if that was not enough, there was a ‘coupon’ for a machine that blows smoke up my a$$. Everything was “Made in China” and all di-rections were in Spanish. Keep an eye out. Yours should arrive soon.

The Washington Redskins are changing the team name because of all the negativity, shame, humiliation, dissent, polarity, dis-crimination, division, counter-productivity, hostility, and allegations of racism associ-ated with their name. From now on, they will be known simply as the Redskins. Their mascot will be a potato.

A Rabbi and a Priest are very close friends. Every weekend they would go out together and ride their bikes. One day the Rabbi was waiting for the Priest, but when the Priest showed up, he didn’t have his bike! “What happened?” asked the Rabbi “Where’s your bike?” “I don’t know.” the Priest replied, “Someone must have stolen it!” “That’s un-acceptable!” the Rabbi screamed, you must find out who did this!” “But how?” asked the Priest. “I have an idea! You should give all of your people a long lecture about the Ten Commandments and when you get to the 8th one (Thou shall not steal) scream at the people until one of them gives in to stealing your bike.” “Good idea!” the Priest replied. Next week the Priest shows up with his bike! “You found your bike!” the Rabbi said happily, “What happened?” “Your idea worked perfectly!” the Priest said, “I was screaming at the people about the Ten Com-mandments, and right before the 8th one, was the 7th “Thou shall not commit adul-tery” and then I remembered where I left my bike!”

A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named “Ahmal.” The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him “Juan.” Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiv-ing the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, “They’re twins! If you’ve seen Juan, you’ve seen Ahmal.”


Rolling Thunder® Inc, NC7, 4th Annual Wounded Warrior Ride

By: Randy Grosskopf, President, Rolling Thunder®Inc, NC 7 September 28th started out as a brisk morning as Rolling Thunder®Inc, North Carolina Chapter 7 assembled at Rommel Harley-Davidson in Durham, NC. The Chapter would dedicate its efforts today to raise money for the Wounded Warriors at Fort Bragg.

The ride twisted through the back roads of Durham, Gran-ville, and Person Counties to return to Creedmoor and the City Tavern for Hamburgers, Hotdogs, Sodas, and Fellow-ship. Door Prizes donated by local business were awarded, a 50/50 Raffle was held, and Rolling Thunder sold their hats and T-shirts.

The participants included members of the Durham Harley Own-ers Group, Purple Heart Riders, Patriot Guard Riders, Britt Bikers, Freedom Followers MC, Iron Order MC and a large group of local veteran supporters. A special Thank You to Jon Zobonick and the Creedmoor City Tavern for letting us use his business as an ending/landing pad and a place to hold our post ride activities. Special thanks go to Nick Birch of Creedmoor, a non-member, and huge supporter of our veterans, who took up the grilling duties. Thanks go to local business that contributed to door prize gifts as Rommel Harley Davidson, Spoiled Biker of But-ner, Main Street Automotive of Creedmoor, Champs Tire of Creedmoor, Mike Haselman and his Mobil Motorcycle Shop. Thanks to The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine for advertis-ing our ride. Terry Stone of Stem won the $50 Bug Catcher Prize with what amounted to a gnat 1/8” from target. He graciously do-

NC Bikers BashStory and photo by Alan Dockery The last weekend of September was a great day for the NC Bikers Bash at Farmington Dragway, north of Mocksville, NC. Hundreds of bikers rode in that afternoon for drag racing, bike show, vendors, games, and a good time at the old dragstrip. This is the 50th anniversary for Farmington Dragway. Lots of dragbikes were at the NC Bikers Bash. Racers were going down the strip on everything from American and im-ported street bikes to serious race bikes and even some nitro-fueled machines. Tommy Grimes rode the amazingly quick Ray Price Harley-Davidson Top Fueler in a match race against Brook McCabe on the Collier Harley-Davidson machine. Jay Beasley was on the Booby Hoover Racing Pro Dragster at The Farm. Most of the day was grudge match racing where you could square off with your friends and see who really is the quickest. They ran eliminations in a couple of classes that afternoon. In the 5.60 Second, Class Bucky Reedy won over Willie Jones. Daniel Comer took the Pro ET class with Chris Wood run-nerup. Several guys got into the Keg Toss. After a couple throws each, the winner was Daniel Schumaker at 27’9”. Second place went to Jason Harmon at 22’2”. Christine won The Miss Biker Bash contest.

It’s been a few years since we’ve had a fun Saturday with motorcycles at Farmington Dragway. The man we have to thank for that is Walter Tate, Event Director. Walter said he was glad to see everyone come out to Farmington. He was pleased with the quality of the bikes in the show, too. Y’all should have been there to enjoy the racing and show. Walter said he is planning a Spring Bikers Bash for next year. I hope to see more of y’all there.

National POW-MIA Recognition DayBy: Lee Ann Johnson, Rolling Thunder NC 2 It was an honor to be in the company of former Prisoners-Of-War Saturday, September 21st as Rolling Thunder celebrated National POW-MIA Recognition Day at The Veterans Memorial Park in Thomasville, NC. It was humbling just to stand in the shadow of such great men. We hold this ceremony each year in order to ensure that the service and sacrifice of those men who left their homes, families, and friends, and never returned is not forgotten. When I look at that Wall in Thomasville, I saw the names of men who were someone’s son, husband, father, brother, cousin, or friend. I also saw the names of my fellow countrymen. I feel a deep sense of disappointment in our government for not doing more to bring them home, in whatever condition they may be in. They deserve to be at home, and it is OUR duty to hold our government account-able until they are ALL at home. I also feel a deep sense of responsibility towards those men and their families. It is a sad fact that too many of those family members have died never knowing what happened to their sons. Too many children have grown up and started families of their own, not remembering the sound of their father’s voice, or what it felt like to hear their father say “I love you”, “Good job, I’m proud of you!”. While this year’s ceremony was dedicated to our former Prisoners-Of-War, we also remember that we still have one live prisoner, Bowe Bergdahl, in Afghanistan and we wait and pray that he is returned home soon. We have a chance to bring this man home, and we owe it to Bowe and his family to demand answers. Now that he’s been allowed to contact his family, and the Taliban has contacted us through the media, we owe this family our best, united, efforts to help him come home. I hope, with all of my heart, that when he does come home, he doesn’t wonder if anyone back home knew, or cared, that he was imprisoned while serving his country. The sheer numbers of POW-MIA’s is both staggering and sobering: More than 3,300 from WWl, More than 75,000 from WWll, 7,910 from Korea, 1,644 from Vietnam, 125 from the Cold War, 3 civilian contractors from Iraq, and 1 live prisoner in Afghanistan It isn’t just the numbers of missing servicemen; it’s what they represent. They represent the best of America, men who were willing to leave their family and home and fight for a cause they felt was just. We need to remind our government that unaccounted for, is unacceptable. It is not acceptable to send men and women to war, and not make every effort to bring them home! As Americans, we owe it to our fellow Americans to con-tinue to demand answers. As Americans, we also owe a debt of gratitude to those who are former Prisoners Of War, they

have given us a living example of what words like “Courage”, “Sacrifice”, and “Valor” truly mean. If you are ever as fortu-nate to meet one of these Heroes, as I was Saturday September 21st, be sure to shake their hand and say, “Thank You”. They have given much to this country, and asked nothing in return.NEVER FORGET!

Man In The Mirror If any of you have been down to Biketoberfest in Daytona in the last 20 years, chances are you seen the big blue and white tent on corner of Ridgecrest and Bay with the big HLF “Jesus Loves Bikers, Too” sign. Well, that’s where we have been the last 10 days working the tent ministry. The tent was originally set up during bike week in the spring and fall to minister to bikers, but over the years, the homeless started wandering in for a free hot meal and eventually the homeless under the tent outweighed the bikers. Now, don’t get me wrong, we still go to reach the bikers. HLF is set up at The Cabbage Patch and Iron Horse Saloon and many of you have met Preacher Steve preaching on the corner on Main Street. This fall, the tent was the busiest during the rally we have ever experienced. We fed a hot meal to whosoever for break-fast and supper and we spent a lot of time getting to know people and their stories. I heard a lot of people say, “Look at the homeless”, and say, “It’s their choice, why don’t they just get a job.” You know it is so much easier to judge someone else when you don’t know the facts. We stereotype people as bikers we know this all to well. Yes we as bikers do ride motorcycles, we wear leathers, we have tattoos, long hair, and some can get a little rowdy, but some are parents, teachers, preachers, doctors, etc.. You just don’t know by judging that book by its cover.

Luke 6:37 says, “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” We, as a nation, need to learn com-passion. I think it is an injustice and a disgrace for a veteran who fought for our country’s freedom to sleep on the ground in the cold, or a child to live, hungry, on the streets just to avoid the abuse of daily beatings. Luke 6:41 goes on to say, “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” Let’s start with our self today. Let’s start with the face in the mirror. Let’s change the way we act and react one person at a time. Take this time today to look into your own heart, judge yourself, and see where you stand today. If you need forgive-ness, today pray the biker’s prayer on this page, treat people with compassion, judge less, and love more. If we all did what Luke 6:31 says, “Do to others as you would have them do to you,” this world would be a beautiful place.

Rockie Lynne Does It Again!

By: Mark Terry North Carolina has a real treasure in the form of motorcyclist, Rolling Thunder member, Veteran, Patriot, Vol-unteer, friend, and extremely talented singer songwriter Rockie Lynne. Once again, Rockie and his band donated their time and talent to entertain a packed crowd at the Alexander Central Auditorium in Taylorsville on Satur-day, September 14th. Rolling Thunder NC 2 lead by Jeff Phillips and Sonny Deal showed up in force with over 60 bikes to join hundreds for a good cause in what turned out to be an amazing concert and blessing to all in atten-dance. If you know Rockie (www.Rock-ieLynne.com), you know his amazing story of survival, his service to our country, his continued support of our troops and veterans, and the amazing singer and entertainer he has become. This event was to support and raise money for the Dove House Children’s Advocacy Center serving Iredell and Alexander Counties. I was not aware of this organization prior to this event, but Rockie was and has long been a supporter of this wonderful group. I encourage you to look up the Dove House (www.dovehouse.us) and see what they do. They have developed a unique approach to serving our children who are victims of abuse.

Their approach is geared toward getting the truth and facts in a way that does not further traumatize the child putting the child’s best interest and wellbeing first. The Alexander ROTC presented the colors and while we were all there for the Dove House the second half of the concert was the program Rockie does for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. It, of course, was geared to our troops and veterans. Quickly, in a way that only Rockie could do, the program focused on the veterans in attendance. We had one World War II vet and many from Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq. Rockie had all the Vets come forward while he sang his song “Thank You”. Automatically the crowd left their seats and formed a line to shake the hand of each vet and tell them “Thank You”. I get goose bumps thinking of how remarkable this was. There was not a dry eye in the house. To all the vets that are reading this I want to say “Thank you” and God bless. A special Thank You is due Rockie Lynne and to those that work in a difficult situation daily at Dove House. God bless & Ride Safe.

Bodacious In Pink For Breast Cancer AwarenessBy: Everette “EZ” Short On Saturday the 5th of October, during Fall Bike Week on the beach, a whole lot of big, stout, heavily muscled riders donned their little pink ribbons to stand up and fight like a girl at the Knuckleheads Breast Cancer Charity Run. I have been on this run since these two guys from Arizona opened their bar at about the same time as Studebak-ers left the beach, and this was the best-attended fall run ever. When kickstands went up, there were more that 60 riders meander-ing up Ocean Boulevard, in the middle of Myrtle Beach, like a circus parade of deranged lab monkeys headed North on motorcycles. All along the boulevard, kids, parents, couples and grandparents were waving excitedly as we passed them on our way to Flip-Flops at the edge of North Myrtle Beach. It turns out that a vast percentage of people in Myrtle Beach love motorcycles and their riders. Who knew? At Flip-Flops, a cozy bar across from the Sands Ocean Club, playing cards were picked with fiery nachos lay fully drenched in Jalapenos nearby and our lurking mass of sleds spread across all the neighboring parking lots, grass lawns, condo porches and even spilled out into the side street. In a quick minute, we were back on the road and on our way, riding in the hot sunshine to Dirty Debs on Highway #544 in Conway. Dirty Debs is a great local bar with a good follow-ing and it is always fantastic to see everyone there, even if we were squeezed in a little tight. There were several impromptu breast examination stations over by the pool table and I as-sume everyone that was examined was found to be healthy or at least happy from the laughter and smiles that I saw. The autumn sun was tilting to the west by the time we left for The City Line Saloon off King’s Highway in Myrtle Beach. Once there, many of us took a moment to wander across the street, checking out the vendors at MB Harley Da-vidson and, being bike week, a lot of riders drifted off to find other sights by the time we got there. It was not surprising that the numbers were dwindling and the shadows were gathered, by the time we got back to Knuckleheads for a free dinner of BBQ, buns, slaw, beans and fixin’s. Chris, Greg, Laura, and Charlotte gave away a ton of cool shwag and the party around the juke box included Laura doing the “Happy Dance” after she had sold all the Pink Ribbons. The Happy Dance is always a great thing, because when the women are dancing, so is everybody else. At the end of the day, the ride was a complete success, with all proceeds being donated back to the cause and the fact that there were no accidents, arrests, incidents, or hassles from the most diverse group of Knuckleheads to assemble this side

of congress was a miracle. Every single one of us has been touched in some way by this illness and, thanks to charities like this, it is no longer a death sentence. Still, more money for research and treatment is needed. Thanks to everyone who showed up to make it all such a wonderful day. It just goes to show you that inside every big ole’ Knucklehead there’s a generous heart and if you want to know what one looks like, just look in the mirror, you Knuck-lehead.

run and most of the bikers did not show up so they canceled that and the bikers just made a bar run instead, re-turning later for the evening activities. They had cooked up some bar-b-que for the event that was delicious. They had several bands starting around 2:00 and playing all day long and into the night. Around 6pm that evening they had the Leather and Lace ladies putting on a good show as well. If you have never seen these ladies, you are missing a sexy show! Other than the weather messing with the poker run, the rest of the day turned into a pretty good time. The pub was packed most of the evening and into the night with plenty of partiers having a great time and enjoying some great food and music. So, if the weather kept you away this year, try to remember it for next year and watch The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine Cruisin’ Calendar for the date. This event is for a good cause, and several activities take place all week long around the area in support and to raise awareness and funding for the MS organization.

American Legion Riders Bike NightsBy: Christy Cassel This year has been filled with unpredictable weather, from monsoon-like rains to extreme humidity. But one thing that has remained constant is the good times at the American Legion Riders of Post 116’s Bike Nights. Held on the second Saturday of every month from May to Oc-tober at Post 116 in Fuquay-Varina, NC, the bike nights feature great food, vendors, bands, and fun. The first bike night kicked off on May 11, with vendors selling everything from leather goods to military memorabilia to metal artwork, the Sons of the American Legion provid-ing meatball subs and sausage and pepper hoagies, and a 50/50 drawing. Rockzilla rocked the crowd with two sets of music, and the bike games, including the slow ride, helmet toss, weenie bit, and joust, had everyone laughing and cheering. For the next bike night, on June 8, the Yahama Bolt Bike Night Tour made a stop to promote their motor-cycles, including the new Star Motorcycles Bolt. Their display included an interactive game where players could build their own motorcycles to win prizes. The Sons kept the crowd fed with a taco bar, and a new bike game, Roadkill, added to the fun. The band Southern Grace closed out the evening, and had everyone dancing and singing along to their mix of modern country and classic rock.

Heavy rains forced the bike games to be cancelled during the July bike night, yet the rest of the event went off without a hitch. Team Power Sports brought a variety of motorcycles, and Atkins Auto and Paint showed off their painting skills. Other vendors included the USO, Inspiration Metal Works, and Dr. Becker’s Bites pet treats. The Sons served a delicious meal of grilled chicken satay and potato salad, and the Auxil-iary held a bake sale with a variety of treats. Spivey’s Corner entertained the crowd, and even had some audience members join them for a few songs. On August 10th, the rain once again washed out the bike games, but it did not dampen the fun. There were plenty of indoor games, such as darts, pool, and shuffleboard, and Blackwood Haze played some great rock music. Team Power Sports and Capitol BMW displayed some of their newest motorcycles, and the Sons cooked up hamburger and BBQ chicken sliders. The highlight of the evening was the dedica-tion of the event to a rider who had just returned from serving overseas. The weather was perfect for the September bike night, so everyone was able to participate in and enjoy the slow ride, weenie bite, helmet toss, and Roadkill. The Sons once again prepared a delicious meal, and 20 Years Gone provided great musical entertainment. The final Bike Night of the year was held on October 12th, and it focused on Breast Cancer Awareness. Save The Ta-tas set up a booth selling wide array of products to promote and support breast cancer awareness, the Auxiliary sold pink baked goods, and a salon offered pink hair extensions for both men and women. Several breast cancer survivors in the audience were recognized, and Rockzilla closed out the evening with great rock music. Overall, each bike night was a lot of fun and a great success. Although they are over for 2013, they will start again in 2014 on the second Saturday in April.
