| Cool! | | | Easy ridin’ through Russia for USFK civilians | Posted by phrawgh | Nine made motorcycle trek from Seoul to Khabarovsk

Pacific edition, Wednesday, July 5, 2006
YONGSAN GARRISON, South Korea — Twenty years ago, Robert Soska never imagined he would one day be sitting proudly atop his Harley-Davidson in Lenin Square in Khabarovsk, Russia, swapping patches with Russian bikers.
Soska and eight others, mostly contractors and retired servicemembers, say they are the first U.S. Forces Korea personnel with registered motorcycles to do just that. After months of planning, their 1,604-mile odyssey took them from Seoul to Khabarovsk, from May 29 to June 4.
The Americans and their three Honda Gold Wings, two Harley-Davidson Road Kings, BMW 1200 SRT and Lehman Trike were instant local celebrities wherever they went, said Soska, a civilian with the 201st Signal Company.
“We’d pull into a filling station and it would be like a ghost town,” Soska said. But then, “somebody would get on a cell phone … and 20 minutes later, 20 or 30 people would show up to see the bikes.” | |
| Cool! | | | Motorcycle helmet law stalls in subcommittee | Posted by phrawgh | Proposal to relax rules for adult riders delayed in House
A proposal to repeal Tennessee's helmet law for adult motorcyclists stalled in a House subcommittee yesterday when it was parked among bills to be evaluated after the legislature hammers out the state budget.
The House Finance Budget Subcommittee declined to vote on the measure, which earlier this week was advanced to a full Senate floor vote. | |
| Cool! | | | Miss. House votes to decrease motorcycle tag price | Posted by phrawgh | JACKSON, Miss. - A bill that cleared the Mississippi House on Wednesday would roll back the price of license plates for motorcycles and certain types of trailers.
The state Tax Commission increased tag prices this past year for motorcycles and for trailers without motors, such as camper trailers or horse trailers that can be pulled by a truck.
Some motorcycle owners say their tag price doubled or tripled since September. About 35,000 motorcycles are registered in Mississippi. | |
| Cool! | | | Museum takes an artful angle on motorcycles | Posted by phrawgh | An exhibition of 70 motorcycles spanning 120 years makes the connection between transportion, art, design and popular culture.
A fleet of more than 70 streamlined, sensuous, and seductive motorcycles rolling into the Orlando Museum of Art Jan. 22 through July 23 in an exhibit that explores the motorcycle as both cultural icon and design achievement.
If the exhibition sounds familiar, think back to 1998 when Art of the Motorcycle was one of most popular presentations ever displayed at New York's Guggenheim Museum. The exhibit later set attendance records in Las Vegas and Memphis.
Now, in its exclusive Florida showing, the most expertly designed motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds will challenge conventional assumptions about art and popular culture.
And it'll look darned cool while doing it.
BUT IS IT ART?
Motorcycling is the rare pastime... | |
| Cool! | | | Biker club delivers toys, games, holiday spirit | Posted by phrawgh | EAST ST. LOUIS - The members of Pharaoh's Motorcycle Club spent their day Thursday bringing joy and holiday cheer to many families in East St. Louis, Alorton and Cahokia as they delivered bikes, toys, games and dished out hugs.
"Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas," shouted Santa Claus, also known as Dave Clark, a deputy with the St. Clair County Sheriff's Department, as he emerged from a van.
It was driven by Donna Nelson, a Pharaoh member.
From the flatbed of the red truck behind him, Clark grabbed a bright red or green bag with Christmas decorations on it. Then, other members of the club, carried the gifts to the houses and apartments of those on their list.
At each stop, as soon as he stepped from the van, "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town," started to play. At some homes, the children met him in the doorway and shouted to their mothers, "Here Comes Santa Claus."
At one home located at 1947 Tudor, Aundre Gillespie huddled together with his seven other siblings and watched as Santa Claus pulled out his list and took a packet of small racing cars and a truck from his bag and called out his name. He rushed to Santa, took the toys and instantly disappeared into his room. | |
| Cool! | | | Biker parade honors veterans | Posted by phrawgh | George Arana stood along S. Main Street and laughed aloud as thousands of passing motorcyclists honked at him, waved and saluted.
"This is beautiful," the Korean War veteran said, gripping a flag in one hand and waving back with the other.
In full dress uniform, the retired Army paratrooper and six comrades stationed themselves on a corner in front of Gainesville's criminal courthouse Sunday as the "Bikers on Parade" passed. Riding in honor of veterans, police and firefighters, the bikers held their fingers in peace signs, revved their engines or mouthed the words "We love you!" as they passed the veterans from Gainesville's Korean War Veterans Association Van Fleet Chapter 267. | |
| Cool! | | | VFW motorcycles drown out protestors | Posted by phrawgh | CHELSEA — God spoke with the roar of revving motorcycle engines during a protest Tuesday by six members of a Kansas church that believes God is punishing the U.S. for protecting homosexuals by killing soldiers overseas.
Chelsea residents, however, believed God spoke on their behalf as the engines of more than 100 Veterans of Foreign Wars motorcycles drowned out the voices of the Westboro Baptist Church members who were allowed to protest from 1-1:30 p.m. before the 2 p.m. funeral services for Staff Sgt. John Glen Doles.
The protesters were escorted by police from the Chelsea Police Station to and from the protest site at the corner of Sixth and Vine streets a half block away. They left immediately after the protest, said Chelsea Police Chief Kenny Kelsey. | |

| Cool! | | | Biker mom is the 'Magnificent Mom' | Posted by phrawgh | Riding her yellow Texas chopper, her long brown hair whipping beneath her black motorcycle helmet, Julie West can’t help but smile.
This biker mom from Mason City bought her first bike, a Buell, in 2001. “I was tired of being left home alone,” she said.
She got her second bike, a Harley-Davidson 1200, in 2002, as a surprise from her husband, Charlie, and her father, Wayne Fick, upon the birth of her son Lucas, now 3. | |
