MA Vintage Motorcycle Days to feature
classic bikes, new bikes, electric bikes
and North America's largest motorcycle
swap meet
PICKERINGTON, Ohio --
The American Motorcyclist Association
(AMA) reports that AMA Vintage
Motorcycle Days, the country's biggest
celebration of motorcycling's history,
will provide one of this summer's best
opportunities to get a first-hand look
at historically significant motorcycles
from the sport's past, present and
future. By all accounts, this AMA
Vintage Motorcycle Days is poised to be
one of the best ever, with thousands of
motorcycle enthusiasts descending on the
Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington,
Ohio, this July 24-26.
In addition to activities that will
celebrate the people and organizations
important to motorcycling's heritage,
AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days offers a
number of activities that celebrate the
machinery enthusiasts have come to love.
These attractions include new motorcycle
test rides, bike shows, the Vendor
Midway, the AMA 85th Anniversary parade,
the Federal/Allied Used Bike Corral, the
AMA TTXGP Introduction and North
America's largest motorcycle swap meet.
One of the highlights at every AMA
Vintage Motorcycle Days is the swap
meet. This year, vendor participation is
shaping up to be particularly strong.
"We have already filled more swap meet
spaces for 2009 than we had at last
year's AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, and
we expect even more vendors to sign up
on location," said AMA Special Events
Manager Tigra Tsujikawa. "This will be
one of the biggest AMA Vintage
Motorcycle Days swap meets in history,
and certainly one of the best
opportunities to find that elusive part
or project that you've been searching
for -- maybe even since last year's
event."
Test rides of new bike models are always
popular, and there will be a lot of
choices for those who want to take some
for test rides at AMA Vintage Motorcycle
Days. The current lineup of
manufacturers that will be on hand with
their demo fleets is BMW, Can-Am, Ducati,
Kawasaki, Triumph, KTM, Kymco and
Yamaha.
"Classic motorcycles are cool, but we
don't want to take anything away from
the incredible machines available in
dealer showrooms today," Tsujikawa said.
"At AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days,
attendees will have numerous
opportunities to sample some of the
latest two- and three-wheeled vehicles
you can buy."
A new attraction this year that is
expected to draw a lot of interest is
the Federal/Allied AMA Used Bike Corral,
which will include primarily
individual-owned, for-sale, running
motorcycles.
"The Federal/Allied AMA Used Bike
Corral, which is available at no-charge
for attendees to display their machines,
is our way to help organize the numerous
used bikes that are ridden to -- and
often sold -- at this event," Tsujikawa
said. "In addition to the motorcycles
you'll still find for sale in the swap
meet, we hope the Federal/Allied AMA
Used Bike Corral will bring more buyers
and sellers together.
"The rules are simple. All motorcycles
parked in the Federal/Allied AMA Used
Bike Corral must be running, and contact
and pricing information must be
visible," she said.
With this AMA Vintage Motorcycles Days
commemorating the AMA's 85th
anniversary, it also provides the
perfect opportunity to highlight the
massive scope of motorcycling's heritage
with the AMA 85th Anniversary Parade.
The parade will feature a procession of
bikes from the AMA's nine decades,
beginning with a 1924 Harley-Davidson
JDCA and ending with a modern machine
fresh off the assembly line. The
motorcycles will navigate the Mid-Ohio
Sports Car Course before coming to rest
along the front straight where they will
create a stunning display of
motorcycling's historical diversity.
"To fully understand where two-wheeled
technology is today, you need to
understand where it began and how it
evolved," Tsujikawa said. "There will be
no better place to showcase this
evolution than this living, breathing
parade through time."
The AMA TTXGP Introduction, another
unprecedented feature of this year's AMA
Vintage Motorcycle Days, will provide a
tantalizing look into the future. The
AMA TTXGP Introduction will feature
new-breed zero-emission racebikes
circulating at speed on the sinuous
2.4-mile Mid-Ohio track. The electric
bikes will perform spirited exhibition
laps during breaks in the vintage
road-race program that will run as part
of the AMA Racing Vintage Grand
Championships. The Introduction marks
the first international gathering of
high-tech electric road-race bikes in
the U.S. in the 21st century.
"As the AMA celebrates its first 85
years, it seemed appropriate to glimpse
into what the next 85 years of
motorcycling may bring," Tsujikawa said.
"The AMA TTXGP Introduction will display
the cutting-edge technology that will
drive one aspect of motorcycle
development for years to come."
Other popular attractions include the
Vendor Midway, which is located on the
Mid-Ohio infield and features new
products; bike shows featuring original
and pristinely restored classic bikes;
and the popular Ride 'Em Don't Hide 'Em
guided ride and bike show from the
Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course to J.B.'s
Drive-In in Lexington, Ohio, and back.

Motel shut down before
biker
gathering -
UPI -
LANCASTER, Calif., July 17 (UPI) -- A
motel in the Antelope Valley near Los
Angeles was closed down shortly before
the Mongols Motorcycle Club was to hold
a convention there, city officials said.
The Desert Valley Inn in Lancaster,
Calif., was shut down because of
non-payment of taxes, KABC-TV, Los
Angeles, reported. But city officials
said news the Mongols were coming may
have speeded the closure.
"The prospect of the Mongols motorcycle
gang coming up here and renting the
whole hotel only hastened the
prosecution of this case," said Mark
Bozigian, a city spokesman.
Axel Anderson of the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Office described the Mongols
as "the most powerful outlaw motorcycle
group in Southern California."
Sheriff's deputies arrived at the motel
Thursday.
Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris told the
Los Angeles Times the Mongols are
"engaged in domestic terrorism."
Accused complained about murders,
trial told -
Toronto Star -
LONDON, Ont. – Longtime outlaw biker
Wayne Kellestine complained about the
sheer volume of work involved in
carrying out the biggest mass murder in
modern Ontario history, court heard
today.
The comment came from a former Bandido
biker who was present on April 8, 2006
at Kellestine's barn in Iona Station,
west of London, when eight members of
the Greater Toronto Area Bandidos were
shot dead.
"He was bitching about having to do all
of the wet work," said the informer, who
can only be indentified as "M.H."
because of a court order.
M.H. was asked by Crown Attorney Tim
Zuber to define "wet work."
"Wet work is in reference to killing
somebody," M.H. replied.
M.H. began to cry on the witness stand
as he talked about the final moments of
Canadian Bandido president John (Boxer)
Muscedere, 48.
There was also loud crying from the back
of the high-security courtroom, from
family members of the murder victims.
Muscedere realized that he had been
betrayed by his biker brothers, and
ordered Kellestine, "Do me. Do me first.
I want to go out like a man."
M.H. said that Muscedere defended the
reputation of Jewish biker Jamie Flanz
earlier that night, when Kellestine
accused Flanz of being a police
informer.
"Boxer actually stands up and says,
'He's not a police informer,'" M.H. told
court.
Shortly afterwards, Muscedere was led
from the barn by Kellestine and shot
dead, court heard.
Another of the murder victims, George
Kriarakis prayed in Greek until the
moment of his execution, M. H. said.
"It sounded like a prayer to me," he
said. "... He was kinda saying it the
whole time he was in the barn."
Kellestine faces eight first degree
murder charges. Also facing eight counts
of first degree murder are Manitobans
Michael Sandham, 39, Dwight Mushey, 41,
and Marcelo Aravena, 33, Brett Gardiner,
24, and Frank Mather, 35, of no fixed
address.
Found dead on April 8, 2006 14
kilometres from Kellestine's farm west
of London were Muscedere, Kriarakis,
Frank Salerno, 43, of Oakville; Paul
Sinopoli, 30, of Jackson's Point, Jamie
Flanz, 30, of Keswick, Michael Trotta,
31, of Mississauga and Torontonians
George Jessome, 52, and Luis Raposo, 41.
The trial continues.
Oakland Hells Angels Say Farewell To
Longtime Member -
KTVU.com -
OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Hells Angels said
goodbye to one of their longtime members
on Friday.
A funeral service was held in Oakland
for Deakon Proudfoot, the Oakland
chapter of the Hells Angels. He was with
the motorcycle group for 40 years.
It's said Proudfoot died on the 4th of
July. He reportedly watched the
fireworks show in Jack London Square,
walked off a boat, sat down to catch his
breath, smiled and then died.
His given name was Edward Proudfoot, but
was called Deakon because he served as
chaplain for the group.
Florida man killed in motorcycle
crash in Great Smoky Mountains
- Maryville
Daily Times - GATLINBURG — A
Florida man was killed Friday when his
motorcycle collided head-on with a motor
home on Newfound Gap Road (U.S. 441)
inside Great Smoky Mountains National
Park.
Raymond Joseph Vosika, 73, of Chipley,
Fla., was riding his Harley-Davidson
motorcycle northbound on Newfound Gap
Road around noon when he lost control,
crossed the center line and struck a
Chevrolet motor home driven by Wayne
Smith, 65, of Westminster, S.C.
The motorcyclist was negotiating a tight
right-hand curve when his empty sidecar,
located on the bike's right side,
apparently lifted off the pavement,
dumping the bike onto its left side and
into the oncoming lane, according to
Park investigators.
Rangers from the Park and Cherokee EMS
and Fire and Rescue responded to the
accident. Park rangers had to close
Newfound Gap Road for more than two
hours while they investigated the mishap
and cleared the wreckage. The road
reopened at about 2:15 p.m.
Hayes Grabs First Career AMA Pro
American Superbike Pole for Honda
- Superbike
News - A new name topped Friday's
Superpole qualifying session for the
Honda Super Cycle Weekend presented by
Dunlop Tires at Mid-Ohio Sports Car
Course, as Josh Hayes put the No. 4
Yamaha Motor Corp. USA Yamaha R1 on pole
position for the weekend's AMA Pro
National Guard American Superbike
presented by Parts Unlimited
doubleheader. AMA Pro Daytona SportBike
presented by AMSOIL qualifying and
Superpole sessions were rained out.
Starting positions for the twin Daytona
SportBike races will be set by tomorrow
morning's final qualifying session.
Claiming his first career pole in
American Superbike competition, Hayes
turned a lap of 1:26.303 (100.133 mph)
around the 2.4-mile circuit to break the
string of seven consecutive poles set
this season by Mat Maldin (No. 7
Rockstar/Makita/Yoshimura Suzuki
GSX-R1000). Hayes has positive history
to fall back on for the weekend with
three previous wins here in his last
three Formula Extreme outings at the
track.
"I was a little disappointed with my
time I thought we could actually go
faster than that," said Hayes. "You kind
of have to get into a rhythm, and I just
didn't put it together perfect by any
stretch. The R1's been pretty good this
weekend. I've been pretty happy with it
right out of the box and I'm just having
fun riding and things seem to be
clicking well. This is cool, it's cool
to get your first pole and I'm looking
forward to going racing."
Starting alongside Hayes will be Aaron
Yates on the No. 23 Brand Jordan Suzuki
GSX-R1000, who ran the second-quickest
lap of Superpole at 1:26.469 (99.921
mph). Yates has three American Superbike
wins to his credit at Mid-Ohio, his last
two coming in a doubleheader sweep in
2000.
"My lap, it was pretty decent, nothing
really too eventful," said Yates. "The
bike was hooked up pretty well, just a
little cautious, especially around the
top of the keyhole, you are on the side
of your tires so long. I got around
pretty good."
Geoff May qualified third on the No. 54
National Guard Jordan Suzuki GSX-R100
with a lap at 1:26.564 (99.810 mph).
Both May and teammate Yates have
finished on the podium three times this
season and are in search of their first
win of the year this weekend.
"We needed to kind of scope out the
track after all of that rain (earlier in
the day), it definitely changes this
place and the grip level and the patches
(in the asphalt)," said May. "It looks
like everybody was way off the pace and
you go out there on new stuff and think
'is it going to stick or not going to
stick,' so I was a little tentative in
the first split. Then I realized I was
better than I thought I was and put the
hammer down, put my head down for the
second half of the track to try to make
up time best I could. I really didn't
make any mistakes except for just going
to slow in the first sector."
The final spot on the front row belongs
to Tommy Hayden with a time of 1:26.741
(99.607 mph) aboard the No. 22 Rockstar/Makita
Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000. Hayden is
currently second in the point standings
and looking to gain ground on Mladin,
who leads him 355-228. Points leader
Mladin starts from ninth with a time of
1:27.457 (98.792 mph).
"The lap seemed alright," said Hayden.
"The bike has been pretty good since
I've gotten here, faster than it was in
the tests straight away. So far today
everything's been going pretty smooth, I
feel pretty solid out there."
The first American Superbike race of the
Honda Super Cycle Weekend rolls off from
a standing start at 3:00 p.m. local time
Saturday afternoon with a scheduled
distance of 21 laps (50 miles). Sunday's
race is also scheduled for 21 laps (50
miles) and has a 4:00 p.m. local start
time.
Rain Washes out Friday Daytona SportBike
Qualifying
An afternoon rain shower put a damper on
AMA Pro Daytona SportBike presented by
AMSOIL basic qualifying. The
time-certain schedule, combined with the
time needed for the track to dry, did
not allow for an opportunity to
reschedule the basic qualifying or
Superpole sessions. Saturday morning's
final qualifying session will set the
grid for the weekend's twin Daytona
SportBike races.
Graves Motorsports' Tommy Aquino paced
the morning's practice session on the
No. 6 Yamaha YZF-R6 with a lap time of
1:28.587 (97.531 mph). Danny Eslick
posted the second fastest time of
1:28.720 (97.385 mph) aboard the No. 9
Rossmeyer GEICO Powersports RMR Buell
1125R.
The first Daytona SportBike race will
close Saturday's schedule at 4 p.m.
local time. The Sunday final is the
first of three races that day and will
start at 2 p.m. Like American Superbike,
both Daytona SportBike races are 21 laps
for 50 miles.
Scooter Superstore-Hooters and Touring
Sport Ducshop Take Poles in SunTrust
Moto-GT
In qualifying for tomorrow's two-hour
AMA Pro SunTrust Moto-GT, the No. 4
Scooter Superstore Hooters Aprilia
RSV1000R of David Anthony and Ryan
Elleby claimed the overall and Moto-GT1
class pole, while the No. 77 Touring
Sport Ducshop Ducati PS1000LE of Elleby
and Frank Shockley took the Moto-GT2
pole position.
The No. 4 Aprilia, which has earned
podium positions in two of three outings
this season, turned a best lap of
1:32.738 (93.166 mph) with Anthony at
the controls and will be joined on the
front row by the No. 13 Westby Racing
Yamaha YZF-R6 of Dane Westby and Dustin
Meador with a time of 1:33.787 (92.123
mph).
"My lap was just a normal lap," said
Anthony. "I wasn't pushing that hard, I
was just watching the board and saw that
I was in second and it turns out I did
my biggest lap not knowing where I was.
The next lap I come around and I was in
first."
In Moto-GT2, the championship leading
No. 77 Ducati of Elleby and Shockley
will start from the class pole after
turning a lap of 1.36:470 (89.562 mph).
Starting second in GT2 will be the
team's No. 38 Touring Sport Ducshop
Ducati PS1000LE shared by Cory Rech and
Huntley Nash. The No. 38 Ducati posted a
best qualifying lap at 1:37.093 (88.987
mph).
"I'm really proud of the two teams
today," said team owner Shockley. "Ryan
Elleby did that pole lap which was
really good and the two young guys here,
Huntley and Cory, stepped up and ran the
second bike really, really well. All is
good and if I can just manage to keep
the pace we'll be alright."
The No. 27 Four Feathers Racing entry of
Matt Lynn originally qualified on the
outside pole for tomorrow's race but was
sent to the back of the GT1 grid after
failing post-qualifying technical
inspection for exceeding the required
fuel capacity.
The fifth round of the nine-race 2009
SunTrust Moto-GT season takes the green
flag Saturday at 11:00 a.m. local time
for a scheduled two hours.
Beach Paces SuperSport Practice

Shoei practice session was led by J.
Beach aboard the No. 73 Honda CBR600R
