I had a stroke while riding my bike in April 05. I lost use
of my right arm and leg. I have had some recovery but I still am unable to work.
I had to sell my bike to pay off the loan on it. If there is anyone out there
that could help a disabled and broke Biker
get back in the wind with a trike or a bike with a side
car, I would be forever grateful. Please
Email Frank I would like to

Jeff from Illconduct Stunts with
D&D's FatCat Pipe
This is
Jeff from Illconduct stunt riders with
his Sportster doing some amazing riding.
He and his partner “Teach” really put on
a great show at J&P Cycles 30th
Anniversary Party. Look for more details
on this event in a upcoming issue of
Cycle Source.
Jumpin' Jeff Schneider and ILLConduct,
the combined forces of Harley Stunts and
ILLConduct, have one mission: Push
motorcycle stunt riding to new limits
and promote the sport/industry and their
sponsors through cutting-edge shows,
world record breaking events as well as
appearances and exposure arounf the
world.
In 2008, ILLConduct hit the streets
again, entertaining hundreds of
thousands of people in almost every
state across the country as well as
overseas. Plus, they appeared in
national magazines, on television and
radio shows, videos and in the release
of their own DVD, "A Day in the Life."
In addition to their hair-raising,
jaw-dropping street shows, Jeff
Schneider will be jumping his XR-750
even more as he completes a series of
longer and longer jumps throughout the
beginning of the year, in his quest for
his world record jump over 21 cars.
He also coordinated and participated
in breaking the world record for the
most simultaneous burnouts again this
year (they broke the world record last
year.)
Police confiscate Mongol
paraphernalia at Azusa club
- San Gabriel
Valley Tribune -
AZUSA - Police confiscated Mongols
motorcycle-gang paraphernalia over the
weekend at a party hosted by the outlaw
biker gang.
Nearly 140 people, including members of
the Mongols and Vagos gangs, attended
the event Saturday night at the D-Club,
975 W. Foothill Blvd.
"We have biker clubs that come in and
out of town but don't normally have
biker club gatherings this big, and we
typically don't have the Mongols here,"
said Azusa police Sgt. Bruce Badoni.
Police on Thursday informed nearby
law-enforcement agencies of the
anticipated gathering.
About 40 police officers stood watch
outside the club during the party, from
7 p.m. to 2 a.m., in case fights broke
out.
"Knowing the background of the Mongols
and that trouble seems to trail them, we
deployed officers to the scene," Badoni
said. "I don't think they were happy we
were there."
The U.S. Department of Justice considers
the Mongols a serious criminal threat to
the Pacific and Southwest regions.
Although the D-Club was busy, police
said there were no fights and that no
arrests were made.
"We would consider it a fairly calm
event in that we didn't have to take a
bunch of law-enforcement action," Badoni
said.
Police did, however, confiscate a box of
T-shirts that contained the Mongols
insignia. Police also took the shirts
off some people's backs that contained
the Mongols logo.
A federal judge in October barred the
Mongols gang from

wearing or distributing its logo.
The order came one day after a
nationwide federal sweep, which landed
61 Southern California Mongols members
in jail. They face a variety of charges
ranging from narcotics trafficking to
murder.

Marines take on motorcycle safety
at full throttle -
U.S. Marine Corps
Bases Japan - MARINE CORPS AIR
STATION FUTENMA, Okinawa (July 1, 2009)
-- For the past two years, Marine Corps
Bases Japan has taken extra steps in
combating motorcycle-related fatalities,
especially those caused by speeding, by
offering an additional safety course
geared toward teaching riders how to
handle their bikes at high speeds.
The Keith Code Sports Bike Track Day
Event made its second appearance to
Okinawa at Marine Corps Air Station
Futenma June Saturday and Sunday,
attracting approximately 55 civilian and
service member motorcyclists. Dylan
Code, Keith Code's son and Los Angeles
native, was the main instructor for this
year's event and has roughly 30 years
riding experience to share.
Fifty eight service members were lost in
2008 alone as a result of motorcycle
accidents according to the fiscal year
2009 Professional Development
Conference.
Forty-five percent of those drivers
never received additional training
beyond the required minimum to obtain a
license. Fifty-two percent of these
riders died from speeding, and 15
percent died driving while intoxicated.
As a result, motorcycle owners must now
attend a Motorcycle Safety Foundation
Basic Riders Course; the course was
developed to give riders basic
motorcycle knowledge, strategies and
skills according to All Marine Message
014/08.
However, to help motorcyclists learn
more advanced skills, the Keith Code
course offers speed with safety. Okinawa
Safety officials were pleased with the
number of people who came to the event
to seek the additional training.
"The Keith Code course is an additional
initiative by the Marine Corps," said
Lawrence Jacobs, the deputy director for
Marine Corps Base Camp Butler
Installation Safety Office. "It's an
adrenaline rush and allows riders to
drive fast which they can't normally do
on the island, but in a controlled, safe
environment."
During the course riders first
participated in a classroom-style
instruction covering the basic
principles of the program, then were
encouraged to test what they learned to
the track.
The Keith Code program focuses on three
main objectives, proper throttle
control, finding the correct turn entry
speed, and coordination between throttle
and lean.
Before hitting the pavement instructors
conducted basic safety and operational
checks to the motorcycles.
Afterwards, instructors taught riders
the correct way to maneuver their
motorcycles at higher speeds, especially
on turns, when to brake, when to
accelerate and how to lean with the
motorcycle while turning.
"If there is one thing they should take
away from this, it's setting an entry
speed," Code said with a laugh. "I'd be
happy if they went home tonight and
mumbled it in their sleep."
To establish an entry speed,
motorcyclists must maintain a throttle
speed when entering a curve or turn.
Code has worked with some high profile
students from actors to championship
winning sport bike riders, but says he
definitely enjoys working with service
members.
"They're better students, more
attentive, willing to try new things and
enthusiastic, but real," Code said. "We
like working with Marines and all of the
services."
"On open track days you just ride, but
here you get more focused training,"
said Paul Green, a civilian student at
the course. "The program is good for
everyone on every bike, I loved it and
would definitely come again."
Following the training, riders sat down
with Code for an end-of-day wrap up.
"The street is not a track, the track is
not a street, so take it as it is," Code
said in some final words of advice.
"If funding is available, the Marine
Corps Base Camp Butler Installation
Safety Office may bring the Keith Code
instructors back to Okinawa next summer
to evaluate one of the several track day
events," Jacobs said. "The Motorcycle
Safety Foundation instructors and rider
coaches will be conducting this training
from here on out."

upcoming training courses contact the
Kadena Motorcycle Safety Office at

State Trooper Hurt In Accident -
WHNT -
LIMESTONE COUNTY, AL - Safety is the top
priority for law enforcement any day,
but as we approach the Independence
holiday, they're getting even more
aggressive to make sure you follow the
law. State troopers are beefing up their
patrols in Madison County, and as those
holiday patrols hit the streets, a
trooper is involved in a crash of his
own.
The trooper is hurt is Randal Dubose.
The 37year-old works out of the
Tuscaloosa office. The Alabama
Department of Public Safety says Dubose
was trying to pull someone over when the
accident happened.
There are three days to go until the
Fourth of July holiday. The weather is
hot. Folks are wanting to get outside.
Many of them are hitting the road. Some
drivers are likely to see law
enforcement in their rear view mirror. A
high number of police officers,
deputies, and state troopers are
patrolling to make sure drivers stay
safe and keep their eyes on the road.
"Stay off the phone, no texting, wear
seatbelts, and definitely what ever you
do, don't drink, and drive," said
Investigator Brent Patterson with the
Madison County Sheriff's Office.
It's believed a driver speeding in a car
along a Limestone county road this
afternoon caused an accident where the
state trooper was hurt.
"I looked down the road, and saw a state
trooper chasing a car," said Witness
Stanley Hinkle.
Stanley Hinkle lives in the 29000 block
of McKee road where the crash happened.
He told WHNT NEWS 19 the the trooper on
a motorcycle came around a curve outside
his home, and lost control.
"The motorcycle went one way, and he
came the other way," added Hinkle.
Tim Turner lives very close to the crash
site.
"The motorcycle was in a ditch there,
and they were working on a the state
trooper. It looked pretty bad," said
Witness Tim Turner.
Hinkle says seeing the accident from
start to finish shook his nerves.
"It's kind of scary when you see a
fellow sliding down a bank, and the
motorcycle going one way with him going
another way," added Hinkle.
WHNT NEWS 19 was also able to find out
Trooper Dubose's condition. The Alabama
Department of Public Safety says Dubose
suffered a few bumps and bruises on his
legs, arms, and elbow. The department
says there is also a chance Dubose could
have broken bones.
Dubose was checked into Huntsville
Hospital where he's expected to stay
overnight.
Motorcyclist killed in Dam Road crash
- The Aurora
Sentinel - A motorcyclist died
after crashing on the Cherry Creek Dam
Road early Wednesday morning, the
Colorado State Patrol said.
The crash happened around 4:50 a.m. east
of Union Street on Dam Road.
According to the State Patrol, Stanislav
Garnov, 25, of Denver, was travelling
westbound on a black 2009 Suzuki GSXR
1000 when he drove off the north side of
the road and struck a guardrail.
Garnov traveled along the rail for about
100 feet before he was ejected, Troopers
said. The bike traveled about 100 feet
after Garnov was thrown before coming to
a stop.
Garnov was wearing a helmet; Troopers
said alcohol or drugs may have been
factors in the crash.
ND bikers caravan to veterans cemetery
for burial -
Dickinson Press - More than 900
people crowded into a high school
gymnasium in eastern North Dakota to pay
tribute to a fallen biker.
The next day, Roger Ready's friends made
one last ride with him, escorting a
hearse halfway across the state to the
Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Mandan.
The 61-year-old Ready, a chaplain for a
number of groups, died last week after
he was thrown from his motorcycle on
state Highway 200 in central North
Dakota. His fellow riders said he hit a
pothole.
The motorcycle caravan arrived Wednesday
at the cemetery in Mandan. Red, white
and blue balloons were released by
children as bikers hollered "Glory."
Rich Sheppard and his wife, Karen, of
Grand Forks, said Ready would ride with
any motorcycle club and had time for
everyone.
"Roger was the kind of a person who
would call you on the phone when you
needed it, just out of the blue," Karen
Sheppard said.
The Rev. Rick and Carol Wadholm drove
225 miles from Garrison to the funeral
Tuesday in Larimore.
Wadholm recalled when he and his wife
were working at a small church near
Emerado and raising a family. He said
Ready, who had a civil service job at
the nearby Grand Forks Air Force Base,
would stop in to worship.
"One of the first times, Roger shook my
hand and then walked off," Rick Wadholm
said. "Nobody knew he had just palmed me
300 bucks. And that wasn't the only time
he did it. He was making good money and
just wanted to share it."
Wadholm said he urged Ready to be
officially ordained because "he already
was doing the work of a minister."
Chad Wolf, Ready's son, called his
father "just a good, caring man, who
loved his family and loved to help his
children."
Longtime Larimore residents said
Tuesday's funeral was the largest in the
history of the community of 1,400. Paul
Redding, who helped organize it, said
that within a day of Ready's death, he
got calls from the Dakotas, Minnesota
and Canada saying, "just tell us when
and where."
