LETTER
A
fter a late night breaking down after another event, a group of us sat around for a moment and really began to discuss some observations that we have all shared for quite some time now. The conversation was passionate. It was filled with anger. It was filled with frustration. What is happening to our kulture? I remember growing up and anyone riding motorcycles were known as “outlaws”. I remember the time when you owned and drove your bad ass tricked out car, you were known as a “rebel”. Now, not all of the time, did a person have to fall into these stereotypes, but our kulture had these known associations because we knew how to live! It wasn’t about being a hellion, it was about living. It was about cruising with your girl to a local hangout to socialize, to listen to music, to dance, to laugh, to fight for what you believed, and, from time to time, even race.
Now, all we care about is showing up early, when fashionably late was kool. All we care about is that $5-$10 trophy, that most of us toss to the side, don’t actually cherish at any level, and most likely don’t even have on display in our homes or man caves, symbolizing our hard work on our rides. Oh yeah, that’s because most of us don’t even touch our own rides other than to start it and go parking lot show to parking lot show these days. Why is it that so many of us appear to rush to a show so early to get that “prime” parking spot, whatever that spot is to us, only to park our mean grumpy asses behind our rides? We don’t talk to each other, even when sitting 10 feet away. We hate it when an enthusiast comes up and asks us a question, or God forbid if anyone ever so happens to actually touch our ride. It becomes the end of the world. No buddy, the end of the world is only gonna happen if that little weasel with the bad haircut, that looks like a morphed fat Asian version of Hitler in North Korea pushes that damn button. That will be the end of life as we know it. Why is it that a show has to end at 3pm on the dot or we all go insane? Or, the best one yet, we all go ballistic if we perceive the “judging” isn’t fair, or just because you overspent your
6
retirement on your car you don’t truly enjoy doesn’t get that $5 trophy. Here is our challenge to you. You supposedly got your ride, whether car or bike, to fulfill a dream deep inside of you. It represents your style. It represents your inner attitude. Whether it is the car of your dreams from way back in high school, or you want to ride an MC just to get that feeling of being free, live it! How about asking your wife or significant other to go for a ride? Sure, stop by the show, and still pay the entry fee to support local, but who cares if you win or not. And, NO, not everyone deserves a trophy, nor is it required to give everyone a trophy. How about you start engaging the audience and spectators and share your fun stories of the past growing up and being that rebel. By that time, your other half will watch you fill with greatness as you relive some great times in life, and I bet you will find yourself laughing and enjoying that show again vs. sitting your overweight, medicated self in that matching lawn chair being so angry at the world and at a simple show which most likely is raising money for a good cause. After that great conversation, go for a small cruise to bring your wife or date someplace for a bite to eat. Allow your ride to live as much as “she” wants to be drivin’ or rode. If there is music, ask your gal for a dance. If there is laughter, have some fun! It’s life folks, and you only have one shot at it. I see things evolving within our kulture rapidly. I get that a very large portion of our kulture is aging, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be alive. People have always looked at us as “that’s how I want to live my life, free and strong”. I laugh, because it seems like now we have become that typical PC world of everyone deserves a little trophy, and I promise to have you home at a decent time so mommy can tuck you in with cookies and milk. Well, I guess I can’t bust on the cookies and milk, because at least that’s still good...

What can you say about a guy like Tony Dinneweth... well everything, because he was everything to everyone who knew him. He’s a son, brother, uncle, friend, bandmate, jokester, all around one of the greatest guys we ever knew. With his smile he could make you feel good on a bad day. His enjoyment of motorcycles and music took him everywhere meeting more and more people, making so many friends along the way. No one ever heard a bad thing said about Tony. His drumming skills would allow him to be in more bands than most people would be able to do and he most likely played a recorded number of shows with them all. Family met so much to him and he treated you like you were part of his family, giving a helping hand or giving away his beautiful art showed what a big heart he had under all those t-shirts he wore. Tony will never, ever be missed, because he has touched us all so deeply with his kindness and love. We love you Tiger Beat, Tony2Skulls. Heaven just got a whole lot louder. “Do yourself a favor, do what makes you happy. It’s worth it.” – Tony

"DELIVERING THE MAIL DOWN UNDER" 1971 FORD G100 AUSTRALIAN MAIL TRUCK photos by Brian Big Boy Whitcomb After delivering mail for decades in the outback, this little wagon found itself on a ship back to the US for retirement. It landed in Snellville, GA for years as a billboard and then brought back to life when the food truck craze hit America. She was Virginia bound to become the next hot thang!!! Though not the truck to make the movie "Chef", this little ride now resides as the kool hip vehicle of a local tattoo shop here is Georgia.

“This too shall pass”
The Red House Pomade Company
T
he Red House, based out of Kentucky, is a small batch pomade company founded on tradition and old time style. From their water-based pomades to traditional oilbased pomades, The Red House produces quality over quantity. We met these good folks while on a trip in Nashville. We were able to pick up the red label and the clay matte finish. Now, being more of the oil-base fan, the red label is applied ever so smooth within the hair. Not only does the oil base create the shine gloss finish I look for, but it also penetrates the hair providing some serious great conditioning. The aromatics of the red label linger for the day, as most scented pomades are gone within the first few hours after applying. With matte clay finish pomade, I am generally not a big fan. Again, I am strictly talking on preference rather than the actual product. Here though, I stand corrected in saying the matte

A clean firm finish makes this pomade an excellent choice as a daily pomade.
clay Red House is off the chain. A clean firm finish makes this pomade an excellent choice as a daily pomade. In addition, the oversized jar is ideal when you are looking for a great product and a great value. This has definitely changed my opinions of matte clays for sure!

etween April and June this year, the Atlanta area has seen two Motorcycle Sport events nearly back to back. First was the American Flat Track series at Dixie Speedway, and then the MotoAmerica Road Racing series came to Road Atlanta barely a month later. Indeed this is the first time in 25 years such a concentration of Motorcycle sporting events has happened. Both events offered very different experiences for the fans. The circle track nature of American Flat track combined with the short time between racing heats meant that the fans had a super concentrated day at the races. In nearly opposite fashion, the MotoAmerica races are like all Super Sport style races series multi-day events,

with practice taking up all of the morning, followed by racing heats usually going until just before sundown. So, which event was better? Well, that depends on the fan. For those who just want to show up and watch the gladiators in the colosseum, that would be the Flat Track races. For those who want to watch the battle, that is super bikes. The machines exemplifying the ultimate in the combination of rider skill with the state of the art in motorcycle engine,suspension, and braking technology.

Indeed, it is parallel to Stock Car vs Formula 1 in the four-wheeled world. That said, those cars just don’t compete with the sound of either the packs of V-Twins circling the dirt oval or the inline four’s screaming around turn 12 at Road Atlanta. The level of adrenaline flowing through both racer and fan..is just something people who have never experienced a Motorcycle race will never understand. Check out the photos from the races, and next time a race comes to town, do yourself a favor…

here's something so classic about gingham. It's always in style and anyone can pull it off and look great! Navy blue and white are also classic together which makes this Joanie Clothing dress simply perfect. The Ellen Gingham Sun Dress is the dress you have been waiting for! You'll love the fit and the comfort you get from it too. It's comfortable enough to have fun in, and you can dress it up as well. The wooden buttons and the material across the chest are just the right amount of added detail to make this dress stand out. It also has pockets! I know how much everyone loves dresses with pockets, so I'm always happy to be able to feature them. This dress is modest enough for work and would look great with a white sweater added. I do think that you need size up when ordering this if you are larger in the bust. It

tends to run a little snug there. The length is great; it hits just below the knee. Joanie Clothing caters to all sizes and has this available in 8-22. You can count on your purchase being a very well-made item. I am always pleased with Joanie clothes! On my recent shoot we had the pleasure of going to the most adorable glapmer owned and designed by Jessie Patton of Southern Sophistication Designs. It was a great chance to wear gingham and bring out the country side of the print. Country glamour for the win! I accessorized with a vintage necklace that I got from For Guys and Gals and it worked great with this dress. They are a local business that buys, sells, and trades all sorts of vintage memorabilia and hot rod items. Check them out!
