GOOCH’S GARLIC RUN
JUNE 20, 2012 • ROCKAWAY, NJ
stORY RidiN’ ANd piCs bY LUtz
On June Twentieth, The Blue Knights held the twenty-fifth Annual Gooch’s Garlic Run. This event benefits local children’s charities . It left from the usual staging area Rockawy Townsquare Mall off RT 80 in Rockaway New Jersey. The staging are as always was filled with vendors dealers and bike shops of all makes and models. The fully escorted ride left at six thirty sharp and headed for the iron bound section of Newark. Traditionally the event went over the bridge in to New York city’s Little Italy section, but from what sources claim were numerous noise complaints over the past few years, the end location had to be changed to Newark’s Ironbound area. The event was sponsored by Rider Insurance, Hot Rods BBQ and the Hilton Garden inn Rockaway . See you all next year!

BELMAR’S 2ND ANNUAL MOTORCYCLE & MUSIC FEST
JULY 22Nd 2012 • bELMAR, NJ
stORY RidiN’ & piCs bY KiEREN
The weather was beautiful down the shore for Belmar’s 2nd Annual Motorcycle and Music Fest. Almost 500 bikes showed up this year, quadruple the attendance from last year’s show. Organizers of the show are Mitch Bodine of Magoo’s Motorcycles and Brian Katz of 10th Ave. Burrito did a bang up job of booking great bands, top notch bike builders and providing tons of great food and drink vendors. You couldn’t walk ten feet without seeing something to stop you in your tracks. There was something for everyone, from Nortons to Hondas and Indians to Harleys dating from the present models and back to the 1920‘s. In addition to all the bikes there was an awesome bunch of ratrods and hotrods – drool worthy bikes and cars were everywhere. The bike builder lineup was impressive, to say the least. Belmar was graced with the likes Indian Larry Motorcycles, Lock Baker of Eastern Fabrication, Midnight Cycles, Creative Cycles, Magoo’s Motorcycles and Philabundance.org were raffeling their sweet sporty. All the proceeds from the Official Show T-shirts where donated to Aidanhasaposse.org. All afternoon and into the evening, the Belmar crowd enjoyed a great mix of bands. The roster included Belmar’s own Barry and the Penetrators, The Dirty Stayouts, Ghost and the Big Sky, Old No.7, Fast Clare and others. There were some incredible bikes in the judged show. Cycle Source Magazine and Van Wickle NAPA sponsored the “Best in Show” which went to Bob Crank’s 1951 45” flathead bobber. What a beauty! Bob took home a custom, hand painted guitar trophy as his prize (couldn’t happen to a nicer guy). Jamie Matthews took “Best Sporty,” for his Midnight Cycle ironhead Sporty sponsored by Led Sled Customs. This bike has a mean stance and looks super tight. Additional winners were Tony Hooks for “Best Chopper “ with a sweet panhead chop, Jerry Merola for “Pre 1985” and Tony Reinhardt who won “Post 1985” with his WCC Evo. For the “Antique” class, Rich Arrants’ beautiful 1946 Indian Chief won, Tommy Dolce won the “Best Euro” class and Daniel Desoucey won for “Best Asian” and Hotrod Jack from the Gasket Goons NJ won “Best Hotrod with his 1930 Model A. There were a decent amount of cars that showed up, too. The Gasket Goons NJ brought some real nice hotrods, Local legend Tommy Granger rode his sweet shovel while his wife Tulli rolled up in his 20’s Studebaker with a Ford flatty , Tommy Patton brought his ’56 Chevy gasser and there where some sweet stockers, too. The locals really came out of the woodwork with their tried and true knuckles, panheads, shovelheads and jappers- lots of real riders. All in all, the Belmar show was a treat for the senses: Bitchin’ bikes, sweet cars, great food and great music. In these tight times, it was a real gift to go to this event with no admission charge and know that any money you did spend was going to good people and good causes. Next year’s show will be on July 28th and sure to be bigger and better.

ASK THE ATTORNEY BY: LEE D. GABER, ESQUIRE 1-888-CYCLE-LAW • LeeGaber@cycleattorney.com • www.cycleattorney.com As many of you know our law firm has focused its practice on handling motorcycle accidents for over twenty years and although we strive to take cases where the liability is clear, there are certain cases where although the liability may be clear to us, it is not clear to the other insurance company. As a result, we are often forced to file a lawsuit against the at fault vehicle. We do this primarily for two reasons; 1) because the offer the insurance company is making is too low based upon their version of liability and/or 2) an out right denial of liability. depending on the facts, we then retain a motorcycle accident reconstructionist to help us put together a report which lays out, in their expert opinion, how the accident occurred, and who was at fault. For example, i recently resolved a claim wherein my client was riding home from work in central pA and was taking a route that he has taken every day. Although he knew the road had curves in it, as he came around a right-sided curve and continued to travel within the speed limit, a vehicle pulled out of a driveway directly in front of him, causing him to apply his brakes and swerve in order to avoid a direct t-bone with the car. the other driver, who had lived in this home for many years and was well aware of the curvature of the road, pulled directly from her driveway into my client’s path of travel, causing the accident to occur. As a result, my client suffered permanent loss of smell and taste along with a broken shoulder and wrist, both of which required surgery. Although the defendant’s insurance carrier reimbursed my client for the damages to his motorcycle, once we made a demand for his injuries, it became very clear with the first offer that the insurance company was not taking our demand seriously. suit was filed and we retained a motorcycle accident reconstructionist to begin the process of putting together a report that could be used to support our client’s version of how the accident happened. Upon being hired, our expert and his team went to the scene of the accident where they surveyed the site, took video and still photographs and conducted interviews with
FA S T L A N E B I K E R
all of the witnesses including the ambulance staff, who are good sources of information, as they are usually the first on the scene. However, there are two sides to the story, once defense counsel became aware that we had hired a reconstructionist, they went out and hired their own motorcycle reconstructionist to put together a report in an attempt to discredit our experts report. it so happened that both experts knew each other, which is not uncommon in this field. Long story short, regardless of the facts, once we were scheduled for trial and after a series of settlement conferences which included the Judge who would be trying the case, the case ultimately settled for an amount everyone was pleased with. it is not often that we are required to hire a motorcycle accident reconstructionist, however, when and if this situation arises, it is extremely important that the attorney you have retained has not only has experience handling motorcycle accidents, but also knows exactly where to look to find an experienced motorcycle expert who can deliver a report that not only supports their clients position, but the expert must also have the requisite skill to explain his findings to a Jury, if the matter goes that far, and be able to do so in a manner that the jury can understand and appreciate. As always, if upon reading this material you have any questions regarding this topic or any others, please feel free to contact me at LeeGaber@cycleattorney.com or 1-888-CYCLE-LAW (1-888-292-5352).
