AMA announces
final teams for 2009 International Six Days
Enduro Timmy Weigand to replace injured Nathan
Woods on Trophy Team
Women's Trophy Team, Junior Trophy Team and
club team members announced
PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- The American
Motorcyclist Association (AMA) is pleased to
announce the rosters for the U.S. Women's
Trophy Team, the U.S. Junior Trophy Team and
the members of the U.S. club teams that will
carry the banner for American off-road
racing honor at the 2009 International Six
Days Enduro (ISDE) in Figueria da Foz,
Portugal, Oct. 12-17.
In addition, Timmy Weigand will replace the
injured Nathan Woods on the U.S. World
Trophy Team, which will contest the World
Trophy Team Championship. Woods was injured
while competing in Round 6 of the World
Off-Road Championship Series (WORCS).
"We're thrilled that these world-class
riders are joining the ISDE effort as part
of Team USA," said AMA President and CEO Rob
Dingman. "Campaigning the ISDE takes skill
and dedication. It's not only six days of
the toughest motorcycle racing on the
planet, but months of preparation to get
there. The AMA members who have stepped up
to race for America at the 85th ISDE rank
among this country's most-talented riders
and we look forward to supporting them in
Portugal this October.
"We're also happy to welcome Timmy Weigand
to the U.S. World Trophy Team and wish
Nathan a speedy recovery," Dingman added.
Weigand, who will be representing the United
States at the ISDE for the first time, rides
for Johnny Campbell Racing, primarily in the
AMA-sanctioned World Off-Road Championship
Series. The other members of the U.S. World
Trophy Team, which was announced in March,
include Destry Abbott, Kurt Caselli, Ricky
Dietrich, Jimmy Jarrett and Nathan Kanney.
"Kurt called me a week and a half ago and
said I was in the running, then Johnny
(Campbell) called me the next day and said I
was selected and that he would be fully
supporting me," Weigand said. "This is going
to be a lot of hard work, but a great
experience and a great time. The team is
solid. We got a podium last year, and we
hope to do better than that. I'm the new
guy, but hopefully I can ride smart. I have
some good teachers in Kurt and Johnny."
Weigand says the focus right now is getting
the bike ready to ship to Portugal.
"I'll be riding a Honda CRF250 in the E1
class," he said. "Right now it's a mad dash
to get it ready. The bike has to be on the
container in Portland in two weeks. As for
setup, we're definitely going for
reliability. The bike is going to be pretty
much stock so it can last the entire six
days without a ton of work. I'm just happy
to be going. It's great to ride for your
country at a major event like the ISDE."
The U.S. Junior Trophy Team fields four
riders 23 years old or younger. Led by
five-time ISDE veteran Team Captain David
Kamo, the Junior Trophy Team also will
include defending AMA/Rekluse National
Enduro Champion Russell Bobbitt, Grand
National Cross Country racer Cory Buttrick
and WORCS racer Jamie Lanza.
"We have the team we wanted to have," said
Kamo, who's currently leading the points for
the 2009 AMA Racing National Hare & Hound
Championship. "It's a strong team. We have
an enduro racer, a WORCS racer, a GNCC racer
and a desert racer. Russell is super fast,
Jamie will never give up, and Cory, as well
as he's going in the GNCCs this year, he
deserves to be there. As for me, I'm just
happy to be on the team and, honestly, I
hope those guys ride so well that I'm our
drop-out rider. If I'm the drop-out rider,
that just means everyone else is riding
strong."
Current plans call for Lanza to race the E1
class, which features 100cc to 125cc
two-stroke and 175cc to 250cc four-stroke
motorcycles; Bobbitt and Buttrick to race
the E2 class, which features 175cc to 250cc
two-stroke and 290cc to 450cc four-stroke
motorcycles; and Kamo to ride the E3 class,
which features 290cc to 500cc two-stroke and
475cc to 650cc four-stroke motorcycles.
The U.S. Women's Trophy Team finished second
in Greece last year to the French team, a
year after winning the Women's World Cup in
Chile. The team will include veterans Maria
Forsberg, Mandi Mastin and Lacy Jones.
"I am extremely excited to be going to
Portugal this year representing the United
States Women's Trophy Team," Mastin said.
"This will be the eighth ISDE that I have
competed in and the third since the Women's
World Team was created. I consider it a
great honor to be involved in the race and
look forward to going to Portugal healthy
and ready to bring home the trophy again
this year. Maria proved last year in Greece
that she has what it takes to compete with
some of the fastest women in the world, and
Lacy is also a returning member to the team
with two ISDE experiences. The three of us
plan on working as hard as we can to win the
Women's World Trophy again this year."
While the Trophy Team, the Women's Trophy
Team and the Junior Trophy Team are a
critical piece of the U.S. effort, they are
a small part of the entire U.S. contingent
that makes the trek to the annual event.
Dozens of club team riders will also
represent the U.S. at the 2009 ISDE.
The following riders were selected as club
team members: Toby Atkins, David Booth,
Jordan Brandt, Joel Burkett, Billy Burns,
Nick Fahringer, Jeff Fredette, Don Grahn,
Nick Hamill, Fred Hoess, Zach Lipana, Brent
Martell, Garrett Mayer, Shawn O'Leary, Ryan
Powell, Ben Smith, Brian Sperle, Rory
Sullivan, Troy Swettenam, Lars Valin and
Chilly White.

Team USA, and looking good while doing it,

Two members of Pagan motorcycle gang
head to court - Tribune Review -
It began three summers ago, when armed
sentries stood watch over a two-day orgy
of drugs and alcohol at a picnic ground,
just off Interstate 70 in Westmoreland
County.
The party, so secretive that no one knew
its location until a few days earlier,
roared on night and day, as the guards,
all members of the notorious Pagan's
motorcycle gang, stood watch, protecting
their stoned, drunken brethren.
But someone else was watching.
Surveillance cameras and microphones
planted at the Yukon picnic area by
undercover state police officers
recorded the Pagans' revelry.
The first glimpses of the covert,
three-year probe of the outlaw gang's
inner workings in Southwestern
Pennsylvania will begin to emerge
Wednesday as two men arrested in the
case head to court.
Seven members of the outlaw gang are
named in a sealed presentment handed
down earlier this year by a state grand
jury seated in Allegheny County. The
Tribune-Review obtained a copy of the
document, which details the activities
of the gang's four active chapters in
Southwestern Pennsylvania and its
Washington County headquarters.
Although the ongoing investigation
centers on Westmoreland County, the
grand jury alleges the Pagans operate
chapters in Fayette City, Pittsburgh and
McKeesport, and recently built a
national clubhouse on Duvall Road in
Fallowfield in Washington County,
according to the presentment.
So far, six of the men face charges
ranging from racketeering and firearms
violations to motorcycle theft and
allegations they ran a wide-scale drug
ring dealing in marijuana, cocaine and
crystallized methamphetamine, commonly
known as "crank."
Police have arrested:
• Shane M. Pierce, 26, of 702 E. Main
St., West Newton, charged with
racketeering, possessing and selling
illegal drugs between 2006 and 2008, and
making false statements under oath.
• Ernest W. Frantz III, 44, of 310
Meadow Drive., Herminie, charged with
possession with intent to deliver a
controlled substance in 2006.
• Scott R. Smith, 38, of 611 Scottdale
Ave., Scottdale, charged with stealing
three Harley-Davidson motorcycles in
2006.
• William Snyder, 57, of 112 Snyder
Lane, Ruffsdale, charged with illegally
possessing an offensive weapon for
altering a firearm and illegally selling
four machine guns in 2007.
• Homero M. Villegas, 27, address
unknown in Georgia, charged with
conspiring to distribute illegal
controlled substances. Villegas cannot
be found, according to court documents
filed with Mt. Pleasant Township
District Justice Roger Eckels.
Eckels will hold preliminary hearings
Wednesday for Pierce and Frantz. Smith
and Snyder have waived their rights to
preliminary hearings.
Police believe alleged Westmoreland
leader Raymond E. "Pete" Overly, 38 — a
former Belle Vernon resident who ran the
chapter from his PRA Racing motorcycle
shop in downtown Mt. Pleasant before
moving it to Elizabeth Township in 2007
— has fled to Florida.
Overly disappeared in November, just
before a revocation hearing for
allegedly snorting cocaine while he was
on parole for repeatedly shocking a
Rostraver couple with a stun gun,
smashing the woman's foot with his boot
and brutally beating the man with a
metal baton, court records show. He was
sentenced to four to nine years in
prison for the assault, which stemmed
from a dispute about motorcycle parts.
A warrant for his arrest has been
issued.
In the early days of the probe,
undercover state police investigators
used informants to set up surveillance
at the party in a rented picnic pavilion
for several hundred Pagans in Yukon.
That was June 2006 and the Pagans, who
reportedly have as many as 450 members
nationally, were very much a part of the
local criminal scene, according to court
documents.
Prosecutors showed surveillance tapes of
the revelers to the grand jury, which
heard from 18 witnesses who offered
sometimes gruesome stories of violence
and drug operations, sometimes run from
behind prison walls, according to the
presentment.
The witnesses told jurors about rites of
passage to full membership in the gang,
according to the presentment. They told
of attending monthly chapter meetings,
referred to as "going to church." And
they told of raising money by selling
drugs, stealing and rebuilding
motorcycles. They said Overly often
rewarded members who stole bikes with
custom-built motorcycles.
Those who were being groomed to be
potential members were known as
"prospects," they said.
A Pagan-in-training was given a denim or
leather jacket with the sleeves cut off
and bearing a patch reading "prospect."
"After an undefined period of
prospecting, or after the completion of
a certain particularly challenging (and
often criminal) task such as an assault,
the prospect would receive his 'colors,'
which entails the addition of the Pagan
symbol and other patches to an
individual's cut-off and is therefore
considered a full-fledged member of the
Pagan's OMG (Outlaw Motorcycle Gang),"
the presentment said.
The presentment alleges bikers often
traveled to Atlanta to pick up illegal
drugs during buys Overly set up.
Overly did not know some of the
"prospects" hauling drugs back to
Pennsylvania were informants who would
contact police to photograph and test
the contraband, the grand jury said.
Some prospects told authorities they
were beaten by Overly if they refused to
participate in the drug deals or other
assignments -- ranging from assaulting
enemies with baseball bats to performing
household chores.
When investigators discovered in late
2006 that Overly wanted to buy four,
specially built 9 mm machine guns,
undercover officers moved in and bought
the guns from Snyder so they wouldn't
fall into Overly's hands, the grand jury
reported.
The Pagans, long associated with drugs
and violence, were founded in 1959 in
Maryland. They expanded into
Pennsylvania during the 1960s.
State police Trooper Matthew Baumgard
fielded the undercover investigation
with former trooper Lyle Graber, who
works as an investigator for the
Allegheny County District Attorney's
Office. Baumgard said police would not
comment on the case.
Pagan symbols
The primary Pagan symbol, which looks
like a devil, is known as a "fire god,"
according to a state grand jury.
Pagan patches frequently include the
expression: "GFPD: God Forgives, Pagans
Don't."
"Tattoos are similarly used by Pagans to
signify club membership and as tools of
intimidation. The wearing of 'colors' is
used as both a symbol of club
membership, and as a means of
intimidating rival gang members and the
general public," a grand jury says in a
presentment issued against seven men who
allegedly belong to the Westmoreland
County chapter.
Bikers' leather jackets often are
attached to their clothes with numerous
pins so the colors are not left behind
during fights.
Anyone who leaves the Pagans must turn
in their colors, remove their tattoos,
pay an "exit fee" of up to $2,000,
forfeit ownership of their motorcycles
and "sometimes is expected to leave
town," according to the presentment.
Carlton bar to be Hells Angels
meeting spot - Duluth News Tribune -
The Lost Isle, a restaurant and bar in
Carlton, probably will be the
headquarters during the Hells Angels
Motorcycle Club 2009 USA Ride at the end
of this month, according to the Carlton
County Sheriff’s Office.
“We have confirmed that the Hells Angels
will be using Lost Isle,” said Brian
Belich, Carlton County Deputy Sheriff.
“We’ve asked for their itinerary, too,
but [haven’t been] provided with one.”
Lost Isle co-owner Christine Rogentine
declined to comment on whether the
motorcycle club has rented the facility,
but the Web site calendar denotes the
Lost Isle as “closed for private
function,” from July 29 to Aug. 2.
With more than 1,000 members of the
Hells Angels expected in Carlton and St.
Louis counties on those dates, law
enforcement has been planning for months
to ensure the safety of residents.
Area businesses are preparing for the
possible onslaught of customers as well.
For Brandon Sell, owner of Carlton’s
Third Base Bar, it will be business as
usual — with a few minor adjustments.
“Mostly, I’m going to make sure I have
male bartenders close every night during
that time,” he said. “And I plan to be
at the bar the entire time, just in
case.”
Although he is taking some precautions,
Sell isn’t expecting any problems.
“I welcome in anyone, and until someone
creates a problem I don’t want to
stereotype,” he said.
“I can’t predict how much business [the
Hells Angels] will give us, since people
keep saying they plan to travel to
Duluth and the North Shore while they’re
here.”
The club’s reputation is controversial.
Though the FBI classifies the group as
one of the four biggest outlaw
motorcycle gangs in the U.S., the club
touts its charity work.

Wet curve, braking cause bike crash
- Rapid City
Journal - A Gillette, Wyo.,
couple suffered serious but not
life-threatening injuries after being
tossed from their motorcycle near the
Pactola reservoir visitor center on U.S.
Highway 385 west of Rapid City on
Friday.
Donald and Donna Bockman were riding on
a 2006 Harley-Davidson. He braked on a
