“The Life and Times of Motorcycles and the People Who Ride Them!” Born To Ride was created in 1995 by Ron and Debbie Galletti of Brandon, Florida. A media venue that incorporates television and magazine, Born To Ride has evolved into a growing business that has seen record growth in sales over the last 10 years!
Before Ron’s days in wrestling he was the lead singer of heavy metal band Nasty Savage, who toured the world and recorded six albums. Their demo tape came out in 1983
Born To Ride combines 4 successful media elements; Television, Magazine, Website and Event Promotions. Born To Ride provides news and events that are of interest to the biker community. Spotlighting hardworking dealers, bike builders, and organizations are only a few of the items the biker community looks forward to reading every month. The staff and writers are all bikers, as well as professionals in the areas they represent. Born To Ride’s involvement with other successful venues has spanned 15 years — the Born To Ride Saloon, West Coast Bike Rally, and Thunder by the Bay to mention a few. Born To Ride collaborates with other local media companies to create cross marketing opportunities for its clientele.
and the bands over- the-top wild stage show put them on the map. In 1995 they landed in the Heavy Metal Hall of Fame in Tampa. The band broke up in 1990, but still plays from time to time. … Their last gig was in 2008, in Germany at the Keep It Real Metal Festival. Go to www.nastysavage.com for more information about the band Nasty Savage.
Born To Ride Intro Born To Ride TV aired its first show in 1995. Before entering the motorcycle scene Ron Galletti of Brandon, Florida co-produced over 200 International Wrestling Federation (IWF) shows at Universal Studios Sound Stage 23 in Orlando, FL. Ron had several passions, one of them being motorcycles. While producing wrestling footage for IWF he saw a void in the motorcycle community – there was no documentation of the motorcycle events he would frequent. He took his IWF production experience and created Born To Ride. The program is a mixture of community and national based events spotlighting bikers—and businesses that target the motorcycle enthusiast. LifeStyle Magazine

The television format is simple – people who enjoy motorcycles also watch TV. It doesn’t matter if they are hard core riders or beginners; our program creates an interest in riding. We talk about events, races, runs, lifestyles, and special happenings that make motorcycle riding a fast growing part in your area. It’s the life and times of motorcycles and the people who ride them. My goal is always show bikers in a positive light.
Bikers are the greatest people. Through the television show we try to take the viewer on a journey, an adventure. Born To Ride is for everyone that rides, or those who are curious about the biker culture. Perhaps a journey to the beautiful coast of South Africa would be of interest? You may enjoy reading the journals of a lone trip on two wheels to Sturgis. If these items are not of interest, how about watching a detailed show on the complete restoration of an antique Vincent motorcycle? The variety and depth of the content packed into the television show and magazine is vast. We are proud to state our readership provides support and sponsorship for many nonprofit organizations’ charitable events.
Hard work and dedication is pivotal to creating this successful business. The motorcycling community in and around the state of Florida are well aware of Born To Ride’s multimedia presence. In fact, thousands flock to various biker btr 6 | LifeStyle Magazine
events where staff from Born To Ride are in attendance.
Thunder by the Bay is one of many (major) annual Florida biker events that Born To Ride is proud to support. Our team works hard to produce positive results for all of our clients! The added exposure Born To Ride gave to this year’s Festival, both in print and on television, was over-the-top and resulted in a 30% increase in attendance. With the event promoted on the cover of the magazine resulted in an increase in phone calls prior to the Festival and a significant increase in attendance figures. This also enabled many of this year’s builders and special guests to learn more about the Festival prior to arriving in Sarasota for the Festival and how the money raised impacts so many children and their families. Lucy Nicandri Vice President of Marketing/Special Events The Florida Center for Child and Family Development
Born to Ride’s 500th Episode The motorcycle industry celebrated a significant milestone on Sunday, May 15, 2005 when the 500th episode of Born To Ride Television aired. The weekly show which was started with a shoestring budget and a vision by a former heavy metal singer and wrestling promoter has been bringing the biker lifestyle to television sets in Florida for ten years. Ron Galletti wasn’t sure if his idea for a biker television
show would even have a sponsor when he borrowed a film crew he met at a wrestling match in Orlando. Believing in his vision and support from his wife Debbie, he and the crew headed to Daytona Bike Week to put together the first show. That early morning trip provided the film footage for the show’s intro in the early days; a biker riding along the beach at sunrise. It was 1995 and the cable channels were years away from discovering people’s interest in motorcycling. Ron and Debbie were riding custom bikes at the time and attending local bike shows. They were amazed at how fanatical people were about motorcycles--they were caught up in it too. At the time, there was a local biker show called Wheels in the Wind. Ron credits Stretch, who did that show, with being one of the true pioneers in this area (Biker television localized). Ron says, “There was something about the idea I found interesting, but also very scary. I quit my day job punching a clock and said I’m doing it.”
But Ron had ideas for a show of his own. Using the marketing skills he had acquired from working both the heavy metal and wrestling circuits Ron flooded the local shops fax machines with a message, “Born To Ride Is Coming!” When he went looking for sponsors, they already knew the BTR name. The very first sponsor to sign up was Fletcher’s Harley-Davidson. Their check for that first ad was the startup capital that put the first show on the air. The early shows were aired on Channel V32 which was an independent station back then. The show has been broadcast by several stations and the time slots have moved around over the years before settling into the late night Sunday airtime on WTOG UPN 44. To kick off the debut of the TV show, they put together a big kick-off party at a place called GK’s. It had been raining for about 10 straight days before the party and Ron was getting real nervous as the day approached. On the day of the party, the sun came out and fifteen hundred bikers showed up. It’s been going strong ever since. That doesn’t mean that it’s always been an easy road to travel. Each week is a new show which means that it doesn’t matter if it’s a holiday or your birthday, there’s a show to be done. One goal of the show has been to document the biker lifestyle year round. According to Ron, it took a while to get the system down. “I found that it’s a communication process. You have to be a good communicator to insure you get the right interviews
done by the right people and the right camera shots and such. If anything goes wrong, it comes back to me.
I really want to thank our current production company, Zero Gravity. They’ve been working with us for about 7 years now. It’s run by Dave Perich and Clark Hodges. That’s Clark’s voice you hear every week on the show.” Currently it takes about two days to put the show together though we spend many more hours preparing tape and deciding what will be on the show that week. It’s a team effort and the team goal is to make a better show each week. The shows not only cover the events in the area but also show the human side of bikers. One show followed along with a group of bikers who wanted to give a cancer stricken girl named Sydney a Merry Christmas. Another recent story was about Bob Moran, who has no legs but does have a passion for riding. The feature showed how a two-wheeler was converted into a trike to allow him to regain some freedom and enjoy riding like so many of us do. Ron has a passion for getting out the message about all the good things that bikers do for the community. He says, “You have to know how to tell a story, which we do. It may make them cry or laugh, or take them on an adventure. You never know what you’re going to get with Born To Ride.” Though the show has featured a ton of celebrities like Hulk Hogan, Evel Knievel, Jeb Bush, the
legendary Daddy Rat, and many others, Ron says the theory behind BTR is that you don’t have to be a super-star to be on the show. “I’ve always said I could close my eyes and spin LifeStyle Magazine

around and pick someone out of the crowd and get a great story. The biker community is made up of such diversity. From blue collar to white collar, there are lawyers, doctors, truck drivers as well as the club members, who I believe are some of the few true bikers left out there. The common bond is an interest in motorcycles and wanting to be a part of the show. I think the normal person on the street is just as important as anyone else.” There have been ups and downs through the years but Ron believes that when things go wrong is when you show your strength. He’s quick to point out that much of his success is directly tied to the support that Debbie has

Though Ron produced about seven issues of a magazine when they had the Born To Ride Saloon on Nebraska Avenue it just wasn’t feasible at the time. = The second attempt has been an overwhelming success. The magazine was intended to take a real approach to the biker lifestyle and focus on the people and charities. Ron‘s also a businessman and sees the benefits of being able to offer different formats to his advertisers. “Having a TV show, the website and the magazine is a powerful multi-media punch”, according to Ron. “We can put people’s products in a direct market and offer great packages and terrific service.” There have been rumors for years that Born To Ride Television was going to go national. Ron doesn’t rule it out but says, “I’ve had people
Twenty-five years ago they were the devil may-care, long-haired, tattooed, leather-wearing outlaws of the open road featured in the song, “Born To Be Wild” and in the film “Easy Rider” with Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper.
Today, said motorcycle enthusiast Ron Galletti of Brandon Florida, “People riding Harley’s are more likely to be Doctors, Lawyers or Accountants as well as leather wearing long-haired ex hippies. More than a few are Grandparents! Motorcycling has hit the mainstream.” Born To Ride Productions is responsible for organizing and sponsoring a number of local, (Tampa) and State wide charity events involving bikers that bring the biker community in contact with some of the largest children’s charities in the LifeStyle Magazine

state. The Shriners Hospitals for Children is one of the many charities dear to our hearts.
“Bikers get a bad rap because of the old stereotype image. But now people from all walks of life are involved and the market continues to grow. Women make up a third of the market now said Galletti.” Contrary to the bad-boy image, Galletti said bikers are some of the nicest people he’s ever met. “Bikers are always willing to help kids and people who need it. They’re willing to give back to their communities and they’re always happy to come to the aid of a fellow biker (brother or sister) who has been injured in an accident. There are a lot of people doing a lot of positive things in the biker community,” he said.
The Superstars on Born To Ride
It was a TV producer’s dream, come true! A day of shooting promo’s and interviews with Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage for a feature on Born To Ride TV in Ybor-City, FL. Ron Galletti
has had many other superstars on the show including, Willie G., Evel Knievel, Indian Larry, Arlin Ness, the Teutul’s (Sr., Jr. and Mikey) from American Chopper, Hugh Hefner, Playboy Playmates (Dahm Triplets, Crista Nicole, Susan Stokes), Gov. Jeb Busch,
One Message that Ron would like to get out to the motorcycle community is, “lighten up, have fun and live your life. It’s better to have a lot of friends than a lot of enemies. Stop the bickering that exists in the Biker community. This Yuppie vs. Hard core, Harley riders vs. import rider, Abate vs. HOG and Cruisers vs. Sport bike riders is stupid! We’re all on two or three wheels by choice and that is what makes this a great country. We need to stick together as Motorcyclists and not as single parts of the big picture. All riders no matter what they are riding are ... Born to Ride”

synopsis story?
WJ: The story involves two sisters, one is a vampire and the other is a mortal. Patricia plays the mortal sister who is a photographer. Georgia Cris plays her sister. Their father is a 400-year-old vampire, Vlad, a descendant of Vlad the Impaler, a historical figure that Brahm Stoker based his original Dracula story. Vlad is very wealthy and immensely rich. He is illuminati, a member of a secret society and controls a vast army of vampires who are fed and kept loyal by his worldwide chain of blood banks. Presidents and
heads of state do his bidding. When his mortal daughter, Karla, played by Patricia, is attacked in a small town on her way to Daytona, she winds up in the hospital in a coma. The local gang that violates her has some local political juice. The two leaders of the gang are the sons of the richest man in town and his brother, the sheriff. Karla’s vampire sister, Vanna, leads a gang of vampire biker babes who ride custom choppers and kick ass. They come to town looking for revenge. The locals start hunting them and when things are coming to a head, poppa Vlad calls a gathering and an army of hundreds of vampire bikers descends upon the town. The LifeStyle Magazine

locals have no idea just who they messed with ... they find out. BTR: Director Walt Jenkins also wrote the script. He explained much more of the plot than we can print in this issue. It has many levels, even some Davinci Code type myths and mysteries, but we’ll get more into that in an upcoming issue, the plot lines, back stories and depths of character are an intriguing discussion. There’s more to this movie than the title implies. If you are a horror fan, like bikes and a good story, grab the next issue of BTR and don’t miss the movie.

Tommy Weatherholt V.P. of Sales and Marketing Gold Coast Eagle Distributing So when you receive a testimonial like that, you know you are doing something good. But it’s about people.

There are two world famous Jesse James. One carried Colt-45 revolvers, and the other builds revolutionary bikes. The first Jesse James was an American cowboy outlaw, who robbed banks and trains and lived about a hundred and fifty years ago, from 1847–1882. He shot his way into the history books and became a folk hero. His favorite means of transportation was by flesh and blood horses. btr 68 | LifeStyle Magazine
The second Jesse James, who is actually a cousin of the outlaw Jesse James, has ridden his way into the history books, but he prefers iron horses. From his West Coast Choppers shop located in Long Beach, CA, Jesse builds radical motorcycles, cars, airplanes; you name it, his wild creations have been seen on televisions worldwide via his “Monster Garage” series. In 2005, one of his projects was
adding wings and an aircraft engine to a Panoz Esperante GT sports car and then flying it into the air over Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the site of the Wright Brothers historic first airplane flight in 1903. Jesse and the experimental car successfully left the runway and flew about 350 feet before touching back down, flying three times farther than the Wright Brothers first flight about one-hundred years earlier. “Man, I can’t believe it actually worked,” said Jesse.
Jesse keeps making his own style of history. And aircraft engines once again would figure into the next page of his adventures. Expressing his personal philosophy about taking on new challenges, Jesses says, “Hero or zero. At the end of the day, I’m gonna be one or the other.” As fate would have it, one day a customer approached Jesse with a seven cylinder radial airplane engine and wanted him to plug it into a
motorcycle. “I had always loved radial engines even before he came around because it’s such a bitchin’ concept… it’s like infinity in the form of an engine with no beginning or end with its circular design. The guy had apparently trucked it around to other bike builders, but I was the only one dumb enough to say, okay, I can do it. Then I sat down and did research for a year before I did anything.” While the original radial engines
were something like nine feet across, this downsized version is a modern replication of the vintage motor and produced currently by the Australian company Rotec that builds various historic engines. Specifications indicate the 2400 cc Rotec powerplant, weighing in at about 250 lbs., pumps out about 125 HP at a leisurely 2800 rpm. “It’s really crazy power with no lag and the bike will keep going faster the more you rev it in any gear. And when LifeStyle Magazine
| btr 69
it’s moving out, it sort of cackles a bit and sounds like a baby Lamborghini,” says Jesse. One of the first obstacles was getting the motor to start in the first place. “It was just a pain in the ass. The battery just wouldn’t turn it over and we fought it for days. Finally we realized that the FAA required two ignition systems and we had tried to run the motor on the back-up magneto. So when we flipped it over to the electronic btr 70 | LifeStyle Magazine
ignition — boom! It started up like a Toyota.” Another inherent glitch with radial engines is their strong tendency to leak oil profusely as a result of the thin composition of all the gasket surfaces and cylinder walls, in order for it to be light enough for the airplane to get airborne. “I did some research and found out that a WWII B-25 engine carried an 80 gallon gravity fed oil tank. On an average flight the engine would
lose about 40 gallons,” said Jesse. When asked how much this bike leaked, Jesse replied, “Oh, not much, it just kinda weeps. The tank on top of the frame is a two-gallon oil tank that gravity feeds to the motor while the gas tank is in front of the motor.” As for the “feel” of the bike with its non-standard motor sans propeller, Jesse explained that the engine, a stressed member of the handbuilt frame, goes down the road straight,
turns well and has a decent ground clearance. “I wanted to keep it short and compact with nothing blocking the view of the cylinders so it’s cool looking from the front.” Constructing a frame that could handle all the plumbing and hardware needed for the engine was a serious challenge. Jesse went on to design a drive shaft that came out of the back of the engine instead of the front which then spun onto a 90-degree drive mated
to a Primo belt drive, Bandit clutch and Baker 6-speed tranny. Before climbing aboard the “Radial Hell” Jesse admits to some reservations. “I’ve flown airplanes but I didn’t know how the motor would react with a clutch, or how rideable it would be. I was surprised how easy it was. Everybody wants to hear about it and asks, ‘does it run?’ It runs well.” When asked if you could drive the Radial Hell from L.A. to Sturgis, Jesse said, “Sure,
if you stopped for gas every twenty minutes. It runs on 110 or better octane aviation fuel.” While Jesse did take off on that flying car for his TV show, he doesn’t plan to add any wings to this bike. “Radial Hell was one of those projects I took on just to see if I could do it, for the challenge of it.” For more info about Jesse James’ latest challenges and products, log onto www.westcoastchoppers.com.
