My Time to Ride

This week, Harley-Davidson launched a new video series, "My Time to Ride," which follows the emotional and empowering journey of four women as they break free from their daily routines and discover the freedom of the open road as new Harley-Davidson riders. The six-episode series, available at My Time To Ride, follows the life-changing transformation that happens when women grab life by the handlebars and learn to ride a motorcycle.

A Police State?

Motorcycle-only roadside checkpoints are starting to loom their ugly head in some states. The Secretary of Transportation is providing grants to states and other local governments to be used for any program to check helmet usage or create checkpoints for motorcycles. These checkpoints are being established in the name of "safety"; however, many local governments are having a hard time explaining exactly what they'll be doing at the checkpoints and how they'll make the roads safer. It sound more like a massive overreach of government power to me.

Well then, it's time to start fighting back!

1. Go to this website: Support H.R. 904
2. Enter your zip code.
3. Sign the letter and send it.

That's it! It will automatically send a letter to your representative asking them to sign H.R. 904 which would ban these invasive checkpoints. If they've already signed-on, it will send a letter thanking them for supporting motorcycling.

Start fighting for your rights on the road before they're gone!

Biker Advice

Help A Sister Out!

My friend JoAnn Bortles has just entered a bike she painted into the "My American Masterpiece" contest. Some of you folks may already know of JoAnn. She is the owner of Crazy Horse Painting and has her paint jobs in just about any biker magazine that you can name. She's won several awards at the Easyriders bike shows. And she's a great person to boot!

I'm asking all my friends to go to the contest website and vote for her "American Tribute" bike. All you need to do is go to the bottom of the page and click on "American Tribute". That's it! No registering, no signing up for anything! How easy is that to help out a sister?! Just click on the picture of the "American Tribute" bike below and it will take you right to the contest site. Thanks for your help!

D-Day's Wanted Poster

Guess who's featured as "The Girl's Most Wanted" in the June issue of Saddle Tramp Magazine?
Yep, yours truly.

Sure I might be taking a little bit of "ribbing" about being a "centerfold". But it's kind of cool going places and having people say, "Hey, didn't I see you in Saddle Tramp?!"
It's also been a great way to introduce myself to some of the magazine readers since it looks like the editor wants to start publishing some of my drivel about motorcycling.

A centerfold? Sure, I'll take on that title.
I'll be waiting by the phone for a call from Larry Flynt.

And The Winner Is.....

Well, we had a few good guesses this past week but nobody guessed correctly what I'm going to be buying from J&P Cycles before I make my trip to Sturgis this year.

I'm going to be buying some T-Bag luggage. I've always just strapped down a duffel bag to the back seat for trips in the past but I've never been gone this long and I don't think that a duffel bag will hold everything that I need to take with me. I've heard a lot of great things about the T-Bag line and I'm sure that my bag will perform great for several years.

Since, we didn't have any correct answers to the contest question, I threw everyone's name in a hat and drew a name. And the lucky winner is.....

Allen Madding!

Congratulation Allen! And despite suggesting that I might buy a trailer (Hack! Hack!) I'm still going to award you the gift card anyway! Allen - Send me your name, address, phone number and email to deanwolf68@aol.com so I can tell J&P Cycles where to send your gift card.

Thanks to everyone who played!!

Last Chance To Win

Last chance to win yourself a gift card from J&P Cycles! I'll be picking the winner tomorrow!

There's something that I'll be buying from J&P Cycles before I go on my first trip to Sturgis this year. So, post your guesses on what you think it is that I'll be buying. I'll be limiting your guesses to two per person in order to give everyone a chance. The first person to guess correctly wins the gift card! (If we get to the 8th without a winner, I will put everyone who's participated name in a hat and draw a winner at random.)

Enter now and get yourself some cool J&P Cycles merchandise this summer!
