Hey Folks,Hope this fi nds you doing
well. We are getting geared up for the 2014 bike season with much excitement and anticipation starting with the 73rd Annual Daytona Bike Week starting March 7. Southern Biker Magazine will host our fi rst annual Ladies Ride In Bike Show at the world famous Bruce Rossmeyer’s Harley-Davidson at Destination Daytona on Thursday March 13. This event is for ladies
only to ride their two-wheeled beauties in and show off. This is an event you don’t want to miss! See the ad in this issue for more details.
Randy is having his bike painted fi nally after nearly three years since our motorcycle accident. Yes, his bike still had the battle scars from the road rash it sustained. Wait till you see the paint job! His bike will grace the cover when it’s fi nished. It’s gonna be killer! Gatlinburg Signs from Oak Ridge, TN is painting the bike and from what we have seen, their work is top notch.
After searching for the right home, we fi nally found it with the help of David Fankhauser with Skyway Realty. We are excited to get settled in and bring our two adopted horses home from Horse Haven of TN. Now we will have two real horses and two steel horses in our stable. Perfect pairing!

Speed...fast speed is described in all adjective forms; horsepower,
design, velocity, wind resistance, etc. Try fourteen. Yes, speed comes in the descriptive form of a fourteen year old young man named Draik Beauchamp. But not just speed...he now has that thing called fast speed. That’s what separates the champions from the other riders. It involves the desire to win without fear of crashing and pushing the envelope limits of the motorcycle. Well, he’s there and looking to move his racing career to the next level, and soon. Others are beginning to take notice and some of those are sponsors.
Draik began his motorcycle riding at the age of four. His dad, Kurt bought a Honda F1 and Draik wanted one too. Kurt bought a pocket bike, put training wheels on it at fi rst and the rest...is history as he began racing at the age of fi ve. His major racing career began on a 125 but today, he’s aboard a Kawasaki Ninja 250. APEX, Sport Track, Lionheart Moto, US129 Photos, Sportbike 4Hire and WCW are just a few of his sponsors who have noticed him and know he’s something special.
Sitting down with the fourteen year old, it was apparent that he is older than his actual years. His dad let me know that Draik is his own fundraising director, his own accountant (he takes care of the books), his own marketing director (getting sponsors) and his own CEO, COO and CFO. Draik takes care of his career personally. And get this, at fourteen he can tear down his bike to nuts and bolts and put it back

together. “I want to be able to know what the bike is doing and possibly how to fi x it. But especially, how can I make it grip better and go faster; faster than anyone else in the race.”
He races against men in his division, not just his age group. And he wins. His biggest win he said came at Road Atlanta during Cycle Jam 2013. “Everything clicked. I had great starts and the bike never wavered the entire day. No slips, no mistakes and I could feel I was really fast. At the end of the day, I won Road Atlanta, my fi rst 250 Sportbike race championship.” That win is included in his 20 podiums in 2013.
He’s learning more every day and getting better. He’s already purchased a SV650 in preparation for his 2015 racing season. “I’m a hard working, 8th grade homeschooled student... I love church, especially serving in the student ministry... I really enjoy shooting and maintaining my guns, being outdoors, riding/training on my bicycle and spending time with family”, said Draik.
He regularly attends AMA Champion Racer, Jason DiSalvo’s race camp where he has caught Jason’s eye. That’s why he also sponsors him. And who is one of Jason DiSalvo’s main sponsor on his race bike...APEX, of course. Draik raises his money to go racing with t-shirt sales (he makes his own), bike/car washes, etc. He depends on these funds in order to get to the tracks and race. He needs more sponsors and that’s why Southern
Biker Magazine is also getting on board to help one the nation’s fastest fourteen year old, two-wheel racers. You can too by clicking on the fundraising link on website www.TheDraik77.com.
It seems that the stars, moons and planets are lining up for this roadcarver called “The Draik”. Time will only tell how high he can go, but I’m betting the APEX to the pinnacle of his career has really, only just begun.

With times changing, so has Harley-Davidson®. They have switched
gears and entered the younger rider market by unveiling a first all-new platform motorcycle developed by the company in some thirteen years; the Street 750 and the Street 500. They are designed for urban environments and Harley-Davidson® intends to attract new younger riders with these dark customs. “These are the newest motorcycles to join our Dark Custom lineup, which helped make us the number-one selling brand to young adults in the U.S. for the past five years,” said Matt Levatich, President and Chief Operating Officer, Harley-Davidson® Motor Company. “Both the Street 750 and Street 500 were designed with thousands of hours of input from young adults in cities around the world...They are proof that being customer-led continues to be a core driver of our product development process.”
The motorcycle will be centered around Harley’s new liquid-cooled Revolution X engine. They might be smaller in cubic inches compared to Harley’s top of the line 103, but rest assured, the thousands of hours put into the design of every inch of the motorcycle screams Harley-Davidson®. A new chassis will house the Revolution X power train with new
suspension, nice, broad handlebars and a seat height of just 25 inches.
The Street 750 will be powered by a 749cc liquid-cooled 60-degree, 8-valve, V-Twin engine with a 2 into 1 right side exhaust and a belt driven, 6-speed tranny. The Street 500 will be powered by a 494cc liquid-cooled 60-degree, 8-valve, V-Twin engine. And somehow, the engineers have found a way so that once you start these motorcycles up, you’ll know they are truly from Harley-Davidson® DNA. Both motorcycles are built bare to the bone so it allows for the individual to customize the ride to their particular tastes.
The big question that concerned many avid American riders has been answered. First speculation was that the new Harleys would be built out of the company’s Bawal, India plant that has been assembling bikes since 2011. Rest assured all Street 750s and Street 500s for US and Canadian markets will be built at the Harley-Davidson® vehicle and power train operations plant in Kansas City, Missouri.
After the successful launch of their Project Rushmore several months ago, Harley-Davidson® seems to be headed for another great launch with these two new motorcycles this spring in select markets in the US. Pricing should be in the $6,700-$7,500 range.

I am just old enough to remember British “Rockers” with their beards, black leather jackets and most importantly; British motorcycles. The last of these British classics was the Norton Commando and Triumph Bonneville. Both disappeared from British roads in the 1980s, but are again on the rise. I was surprised to learn that the Norton survived on US roads throughout the missing decades in Britain and are now fi nding their way back with new models.
I visited Norton’s new factory, close to Britain’s Donington Park race track, where Sales Manager Sean Kynnersley reacquainted me with a legend. Factory is perhaps not the obvious term for the Norton operation. Formerly a British Airways offi ce building, Norton’s technicians hand build bikes in a fully carpeted workspace. As most of their assembly work is clean it seemed
A 116 Year Old Legend, Reborn By Neil Hallam
unnecessary to remove the carpet The Beginning
Norton began in Birmingham, England, in 1898. First making motorcycle parts and then building bikes in 1902. However, it took until 1908 to fi t a Norton engine. The Norton racing legend began in the Thirties; of the nine Isle of Man TTs between 1931 and 1939, Norton won seven.
Norton contributed to WW2 by supplying almost 100,000 motorcycles to the forces. After the War, in 1949 the 500 cc Norton Dominator arrived.
The legendary Manx Norton appeared in 1950 with its Featherbed frame, raced by legends including Geoff Duke and John Surtees. This exceptionally stiff frame became the benchmark by which other frames were judged. In 1953 Norton sold out to Associated Motorcycles (AMC), who owned AJS, Matchless, Francis-Barnett and James. Norton pulled out of racing in 1954, but the Manx remained popular with privateer racers until production stopped in 1963.
American buyers contributed to Norton’s development by demanding more power. This demand was met in 1962 with the 750cc Atlas. But increasing the engine’s capacity caused vibration and was expensive to build. By the
late 1960s, competition from Japan was driving British motorcycle industry into decline. In 1966 AMC was reformed as Norton-Villiers.
The 750cc Commando arrived in 1968. The engine was mounted “isolastically” with rubber mountings. The vibration free ride made it a best seller, and was voted Motorcycle of the Year in Britain. Things looked good when the 850cc Commando appeared in 1973 and four new Nortons followed in 1974, including the John Player Norton race replica. But when the government withdrew its loans in 1975 Norton-Villiers went bust and the individual brands were sold.
Norton UK was re-launched in 1988. They enjoyed some racing success, winning the Isle of Man TT in 1992. Their only road model was a rotary “wankel” engined bike, which was supplied as an Interpol model for police use.
With debts of $11.5 million, in 1991, Norton UK was sold to American investor Nelson Skalbania, who put his daughter Rosanda in charge of Norton Motors (1993) Ltd. This incarnation of the company ended in 1994, amid controversy over attempting to reclaim Nortons placed as museum exhibits.
During the 1990s, Oregon based Kenny Dreer was restoring old Nortons. He launched a modernised Commando

Rt - Stuart Garner meets with Dan Van Epps, CEO of Norton America, in central New York2010 Norton Commando961a
A 116 Year Old Legend, Reborn...continued
in the early 2000s, but this was short lived and produced few bikes and ending production in 2006. Two of his prototypes are now in the Castle Donington factory.
After fifteen years of US ownership Norton returned to Britain thanks to Stuart Garner, UK businessman and owner of Norton Racing Ltd. Garner began production of a Commando based on Dreer’s model at Leicestershire’s Donington Park race track. Garner said that Norton will continue to race because racing is an essential part of their make-up.Norton Today
Norton’s philosophy is to buy as local as possible, with 83% of their suppliers from the UK. Where they cannot buy British, they look for the world’s best; such as Swedish Ohlins suspension and Italian Brembo brakes. The first of the new Commandos were single seat café racers. Early market research suggested most Norton owners would ride solo. So a single seat bike was designed, with a frame resembling the classic Featherbed frame. Later market pressure necessitated a dual seat, but most are still sold solo.
In just four years of production, Norton has sold over 1000 bikes. Only 350 are on British roads, the rest are mainly in Europe and the USA. The bike they shipped to the USA for type approval covered 12000 miles, as it had to be approved individually by each state. Sean described California as being a benchmark state, with many other states accepting California’s test results.
Stuart Garner commented: “The Norton team has accomplished a monumental feat. The bike has come through rigorous testing, showing durability and build quality.
The process of opening the US market began two years ago with the recruitment of Dan Van Epps, ex CEO of Ducati North America, who helped steer us through the process to achieve the approvals. Peter Howes of Norton Canada has also worked tirelessly to make this possible...It has taken the Norton team a little under four years to rebuild this iconic British motorcycle brand.”
The Commando genuinely is a hand built bike. It takes between eight and 12 hours for two technicians to build a Commando. Some pre-assembly is done earlier in the process, but each bike is essentially built by two men. This pace of production does mean that waiting time for a new Commando in the UK is 6 months. They have orders for 3000, which they are building at a rate of ten per week. So a Norton owner will be in an exclusive club. As a small manufacturer, with local suppliers, dealing with warranty work is always swift.
During my visit they were working on their Domi Racer project. This is a limited edition of 50 bikes, which was the result of giving their designers a free reign to come up with something special.
US retail prices for Norton’s model range starts at$18,000 for the Commando Sport to $20,000 for the Café model.

press conference at Daytona International Speedway on Thursday, March 13th at 9am which is also the release date on iTunes of the song Sideways. For more information you can contact [email protected].
Former AMA Flat Track Champion and platinum country artist Beau Braswell
is returning to the fl at track circle to do a little racing while his singing career is in full swing. Braswell and his newly formed Twist Grip Motorsports signed with Don’s Kawasaki in Hallam, Pennsylvania to kick off his 2014 fl at track racing. Also on board is Braswell’s former apparel sponsor, JT Racing USA. Says Braswell, “I won all my #1 plates with them ... I’m excited to wear the new JT racing line as well as stand beside my friends and heroes such as Jean Michele Bayle, Ron Lechien and Broc Glover.”
Kawasaki Motors USA is on board supplying Braswell’s Twist Grip Motorsports with Kawasaki motorcycles on the AMA Pro Flat Track racing series. “We won’t run Expert Twins we will only be running Expert single Grand National races to get our feet wet in 2014. We will have a three rider team made up of myself, 9-time Peoria TT Winner and national number Henry Wiles #17 and Dan Ingram #31. We wanna win and we want a number one plate and that’s why we are gonna do it” Braswell said. Twist Grip Motorsports
will be based out of Nashville, Tennessee.Don’s Kawasaki and Kawasaki Motors
USA will also be on board for Braswell’s “Sidways” music tour. Braswell pinned the song SIDEWAYS which is now the AMA Pro Flat Track theme song, a song that will get the fans, racers and crowds into the bar banging action. Braswell says,” You know I’ve wanted to do this for a very long time and with “Sideways” as the AMA Pro Flat Track theme song it was like if I’m doing this for fl at track then I need to go all in. This is a relationship we are proud to be a part of and I hope we can build on it and bring a race win or title back ... I know the country music fans love getting in the dirt and in fl at track you don’t have a choice so I think this will be great for everybody involved.”
The team will be on hand at a Q&A

Honda doesn’t intend to take a backseat to any manufacturer
in any of their classes so they have announced three additional 2014 models to come out this year just as the riding season is beginning. They are the four-cylinder CBR650F, the Interceptor 800 and the Montesa Honda Cota 4RT Repsol Edition.
Built around a smooth, inline-four engine specifi cally tuned for low-to-midrange torque, the CBR650F has a powerband that’s suited for a wide range of riding styles. Powerful disc brakes give you premium stopping power performance and a Twin-Spar-style steel frame forms the basis for the CBR650F’s impeccable handling, while making it versatile for the weekday commuter, weekend sport riding, long trips, short hauls, solo or with a passenger.
The Interceptor’s 782cc V-4 VTEC engine has new fuel-injection mapping for better low-end torque feel. It includes adjustable seat height to better fi t a range of riders, new front-mount radiator for a slimmer profi le, radial-mount front brakes and all-new side-muffl er, wheels and Pro-Arm swingarm. There’s even a deluxe model for 2014 with features like traction control, anti-lock brakes, self-cancelling turn signals, a centerstand and heated grips.
Below are some quotes from Honda’s press release on all three new models:
The CBR650F is an all-new and remarkably affordable middleweight sport bike that’s built to cover the full range of street riding. Available this summer, the CBR650F strikes a terrifi c balance between full-on sport bike styling, nimble handling, overall performance, comfort and plenty of versatility-all at a great
price. Honda’s mid-sized sport bikes have always offered a lightweight feel and intuitive response and the CBR650F adds to that mix, easily accessible power that makes this bike fun to ride all the time. It also provides the real-world advantages of excellent fuel effi ciency and comfortable seating accommodations that let it work so well as an everyday ride. With stylish looks, a large array of available Honda Genuine Accessories and the option of ABS, you have the makings of an instant favorite for a variety of riders. Colors: Red, Candy Blue, Matte Black Metallic; Price: $8,499 - $8,999.
Available in May, The Interceptor 800 houses Honda’s iconic V-4 powerplants have an alluring character all their own, a unique combination of torque, an aggressive rush of power as the tach needle swings up into the meaty part of the powerband and a certain texture to the engine feel that tells you this could only be a Honda V-4. The new Interceptor(r) has all of that and more, including a chassis with that special Honda blend of agility and comfort that strikes an ideal balance for all-day rides on your favorite twisting roads. A stout single-side swingarm and radial-mounted front brakes make sport riding especially fun, and a front-mounted radiator gives the Interceptor a slim profi le. To ensure long-term comfort, the Interceptor has upright, neutral ergonomics as well as an adjustable seat. This is a sport bike with plenty of emphasis on sport, plus the versatility for commuting, two-up fun rides and long-haul sport touring. The deluxe model adds even more features. Colors: red, pearl white; Price: $12,499 - $13,499.
Additionally, Honda is delivering a limited number of competition trials bikes to the US Market the Montesa Honda Cota 4RT Repsol Edition...Spanish motorcycle manufacturer Montesa started business in 1944 and it quickly established a solid reputation for building successful competition bikes. Honda brought the
brand into its fold in the mid-eighties and today the company makes some of the best trials bikes in the world. For 2014 and available in April, American Honda is offering a limited number of the Cota 4RT, a new competition-ready machine featuring a four-stroke Honda 260cc engine. Built strictly for competition, it features an electronic fuel injection system and a revolutionary decompression system that reduces engine braking for a character similar to that of a 2-stroke, which competitors prefer. A quick-shifting fi ve-speed transmission, Showa suspension and extra-wide footpegs for more control on all sorts of terrain help give this bike a leg up on the competition. Color: Repsol Edition (orange/white/red); Price: $8,999.

Most who have known me and seen me travel over the years
know I have been pulling cargo trailers behind my POS for over 20 years over 100K miles. Since the Surry Convention in 2007, my trailer has been the American Legend, which was manufactured in Mahomet, Illinois, (now by Hannigan Motorsports in Murray, KY) and is the one shaped like a Harley saddlebag. It is a premium trailer and one which I prize.
Now let me say my 1986 Pod (now Country Trailers out of Wisconsin) gave me 15 years of good service and I sold it for exactly what I paid for it fifteen years earlier, so it owed me nothing. My AL offered itself as a total basket case for a fifth of its original retail value, so I rebuilt it just before heading to Surry, my first time tackling the Canadian Rockies. Its performance on that trip made me a proponent for life!
I got concerned a few months ago, when in search of replacement parts,
What About American Legend Trailers?
By Mike Ripsch
I was unable to make contact. On the return from this year’s convention in Hot Springs, I routed by Mahomet and the factory to find it is now a U-Haul outlet, but still bore the signage from AL. I then started to have visions of looking into acquiring the rights to manufacture and market these quality trailers as one who has an interest in keeping them on the road. (And to maintain parts availability!)
I talked to Bill, of Bill’s Trailer Sales in Hamden, NY while at Sturgis, as they come up on Google if you search American Legend Trailers. Bill’s carries a number of quality lines and were an AL dealer. Bill echoed my impressions of AL and informed me that AL had sold out to Hannigan Motorsports (dashing my visions of going into business for myself) a long respected manufacturer of sidecars and trike conversions. Bill also told me that he immediately sells any AL he can lays his hands on because of their high quality. He also informed me that
Hannigan Motorsports was set up at the rally, and where to find them. So I set off find David Hannigan.
I didn’t expect Mr. H. to remember me, from when I talked to him in the late 90’s when I was shopping sidehacks, so I was not disappointed. He informed me the folks in Mahomet got hurt by a knock off import and their pricing. He informed that he had indeed bought the forms and rights. He had doubts whether HM would make any money off of producing ALs. So far, by August, Hannigan has only produced a couple of units, but they are on their website, if anyone chooses to order. At least I, or any other Blue Knight® owner of an AL, can order parts. Don’t worry about me going into the trailer business-no way can I compete with David Hannigan who is a well established class act!
I have to say that my AL is the smoothest handling trailer I have ever pulled (If anybody brags that they do not know it’s back there, they don’t

Paul Tutel, Sr. along with Christian and Jason of Orange County Choppers made guest appearances and signed autographs and took pictures with hundreds of their fans. The Snake Master put on several demonstrations showing off his snake collection and how to handle them properly. There were lots of motorcycles to see from vintage to full custom.
Fathers and mothers brought their children out to show them how it’s done on two wheels. Southern Biker Magazines were picked up like

Killer Creek Harley-Davidson had some stuff we just couldn’t pass up, my friends from the Tennessee Leather Outlet had some nice motorcycle appareal and Hawg Halters had some nice chrome accessories and some newly designed wheels. Garwood Custom Cycles, who had a custom Busa of theirs to grace the cover of Southern Biker Magazine, had lots of bikes to show off with all new custom paint designs. Steelhorse Law and their stablemates handing out free goodies to the crowd; Cycle Nation, Diamond Gusset Jeans, Octane Appearal and those are just a hand full of vendors that came to put on a great show for everyone to enjoy.

After 24 Years, IronWorks Magazine
is ClosingBy the Mag Man, Randy Gracy
If you still don’t think the economy is bad, just drive down one of the streets in your town that used to be full
of retail stores, used car lots and businesses. You’ll notice lots of For Sale signs for buildings, lots of For Lease and lots signs sayin, “Going out of business sale”. The motorcycle industry is no different. The economy and our politicians are affecting all of the businesses in America; small, medium and large. Several motorcycle dealerships, repair shops and retail outlets around our nation have closed. Motorcycle magazines are therefore also affected directly.
IronWorks Magazine will print its final issue March 2014. It was started and stayed a Harley-Davidson and custom motorcycle magazine throughout its run. Started in 1989 by Dennis & Marylin Stemp, the magazine was sold to Hatton-Brown in 1995 and became a consumer product. With new challenges facing the magazine and apparent lack of large advertisers, the publishers decided to pull the plug on the magazine.
We here at Southern Biker Magazine promise to charge forward, partnering with businesses to form a stronger core and root system for our business so we can continue to bring you as much news and events in the motorcycle industry as possible. Motorcycle industry businesses depend on each other during trying times. And remember, as Henry Ford (Founder of Ford Motor Co.) said, “A man who stops advertising to save money is like a man who stops a clock to save time.”

Food forThought
by Barry DuncanLocated on the south side of Milwaukee
is a great place to hang out called Beer Belly’s. You can find it at 512
West Layton Avenue near the airport. They are known for their Friday fish fries. You can get pan fried walleye or bluegill for $14.99 with slaw and fries. The best is the beer battered walleye. Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday is the slow roasted 16 oz prime rib at $24.99 with salad and baked potato. It was some of the best I’ve ever had.
Some of their signature dishes are: Reuben rolls stuffed with sauerkraut, swiss, corned beef, 1000 Island dressing and fried golden brown at $8.99. Chicago grill, roast beef grilled with green onion, tomato, sour cream on french bread at $8.99. Everyone’s favorite is the belly burger, 1/2 lb Angus, Swiss, bacon, mushrooms, onions, lettuce, tomato and 1000 Island dressing at $9.99.
With all this great food they should change the name to full belly because you will leave there stuffed.

After a crazy winter filled with rain, sleet, snow, ice and even earthquakes, it looks like we’ve
finally turned the corner, the calendar has flipped to March, and that means riding season. Time to hit the road.
Before jumping on the bike for destinations known, and my personal favorite, unknown, it’s best to take a few minutes to make sure you and your bike are prepared for all those exciting miles to come. Motorcycle safety, and protecting you and your passengers should start before you take your first ride of the season. Here are just a few tips before you start the season:
Take the time for a good, slow inspection of your bike starting with the tires. This is especially important after your bike has been sitting through a cold winter. You’ll want to make sure the tire pressure is at the recommended level, that there aren’t objects stuck in the tread or visible cracks. Make sure your tires also aren’t showing signs of excess wear.
Check all of the fluid levels making sure to replace or top off those that need it. Visually check for leaks, especially if you have levels that are low for no reason. That may very well indicate a leak. Maintaining the engine oil is one of the easiest ways to prevent major engine repairs, and as you know, repairs mean money out of your pocket and time off the bike.
Lights on a bike are so important, not only because it’s the law, but because it helps others to see you. Walk around the bike making sure the headlights, high and low beams, turn signals and brake lights are all working well and securely attached. Make sure to check all reflectors as well for cracks.
Next, check over the mechanics of your bike. Look over the brake and clutch cables for any sign of wear or fraying. If necessary, check your bike’s maintenance book to learn how to detach the cables from their housings and apply lubricant. Check the brakes themselves as well making sure to replace the pads if they are worn. Inspect the belt or chain, spark plugs, battery, suspension and chassis. Check the exhaust and any air intakes for animals or nests that may have made themselves at home during the winter.
Last but certainly not least, check your documents. Make sure your registration is up to date and your tags are good to go. Also, double check your insurance. Make sure it is didn’t lapse over the winter. This will keep you out of trouble with law enforcement, but more importantly, it will be there in case you need it. After checking it, if you have any questions about your coverage or what something means, give us a call.
Steelhorse Law wishes all of you a safe and enjoyable riding season. Please come by and say hi the next time you see us at an event.
