A young woman goes to her doctor’s office, afraid of the strange development on the inside of her thighs . . . a green spot on the inside of each. “They won’t wash off, they won’t scrape off and they seem to be getting worse.” The doctor assures her he’ll get to the bottom of the problem, and tells her not to worry until the tests come back. A few days later, the woman’s phone rings. Much to her relief, it’s the doctor. She immediately begs to know what’s causing the spots. The doctor says, “You’re perfectly healthy - - there’s no problem. But I’m wondering, is your boyfriend a Harley guy?” The woman stammers, “Why, yes, but how did you know?” “Tell him his earrings aren’t real gold.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Biker and The Bridge A man on his Harley Davison was riding along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, God said,’ because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.’ The biker pulled over and said, ‘Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want.’ God replied, ‘Your request is materialistic; think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking; the supports required reaching the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would take! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that could possibly help mankind.’ The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally, he said, ‘God, I wish that I, and all men, could understand women; I want to know how she feels inside, what she’s thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing’s wrong, why she snaps and complains when I try to help, and how I can make a woman truly happy. God replied: “You want two lanes or four on that bridge?”

BILL INTRODUCED TO BLOCK MOTORCYCLE-ONLY CHECK-POINTS MARCH 3, 2011

On March 3, 2011, Representative Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) introduced H.R. 904. This bill would prohibit the Secretary of Transportation from providing grants or any funds to states or local governments to be used for any program to create motorcycle-only checkpoints (MOCs). In addition to Sensenbrenner, Reps. Tom Petri (R-WI) and Paul Ryan (R-WI) are original cosponsors. Because MOCs are discriminatory and have not been proven effective, the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) strongly supports H.R. 904, and urges motorcyclists to take action to assure passage. The AMA needs your help to contact your Representative immediately and urge them to cosponsor this legislation. This bill came about in response to the Motorcycle Law Enforcement Demonstrations Grant (DTNH22-10-R-00386) program administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). You can view the grant notice here. Initially begun in New York State, the process involves establishing checkpoints in which only motorcycles are pulled over and subjected to a series of inspections. As you may know, the state of Georgia was the only state to receive a grant in the amount of $70,000 from the NHTSA program to create MOCs. The grant will be used to conduct one or more roadside motorcycle-only checks in accordance with what was outlined in the Request for Applications. The Georgia State Patrol (GSP) will oversee the day-to-day operation of the program. On October 26, 2010, the AMA sent a letter to Georgia’s former Governor Sonny Perdue requesting he suspend the implementation of the grant until questions raised by the motorcycling community are addressed. The former governor did not respond to AMA’s letter. Therefore, the AMA sent another letter, dated February 15, 2011, to Georgia’s newly-elected Governor Nathan Deal. To see AMA’s letter, click here. The AMA cautions riders traveling through the state of Georgia that the GSP may mobilize the MOC before, during and after Daytona Bike Week. In addition to the letters submitted to the past and present governors of Georgia, the AMA has questioned the potential discriminatory and legal nature of this program and submitted a list of questions for clarification to the New York State Police. To date, New York authorities have not responded. The AMA also sent a letter to the NHTSA Administrator David Strickland urging him to suspend the grant program until questions have been addressed. To view AMA’s letter, click here. To view Administrator Strickland’s response, click here. Additionally, on September 30, 2010, Sensenbrenner, along with some of his congressional colleagues, sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. The congressional letter urged LaHood to suspend the grant program that would expand the highly criticized practice of creating motorcycle-only checkpoints by law enforcement agencies. The AMA strongly supports this important letter. To see the congressional letter, click here. The AMA believes that the primary source of motorcycle safety is in motorcycle crash prevention and not in arbitrarily pulling over riders and randomly subjecting them to roadside inspections. The NHTSA should focus on decreasing the likelihood of crashes from occurring in the first place. The methods used in New York State and possibly Georgia remain highly suspect and no public money should be applied to promoting such a program without first addressing questions from the motorcycling community. Specifically, how do MOCs increase the safety of motorcyclists? Where do the selected states draw their authority to conduct MOCs? Will “probable cause” be required to stop a motorcycle under the terms of this grant program? If so, what will constitute “probable cause?” What types of infractions were recorded by New York law enforcement officials at these checkpoints? What criteria will be used to determine if the MOCs are successful? Do states have the jurisdiction to inspect vehicles registered in another state? And, how was the safety of motorcyclists improved by the use of MOCs? This bill is critical to ending the discriminatory practice of MOCs. The motorcycling community needs you to contact your Representative now to ask them to cosponsor H.R. 904 to end funding for MOCs. Just follow the “Take Action” option to send a pre-written e-mail directly to your Representative.

Special Features: Coil cover made by Kirks Customs in VA., Dakota Digital Speedo, mini bullet LED turn signals, Magnum Black Pearl cables and brake lines

Special thanks to: “This was my 1st ground-up build. I had customized a couple of my Harley’s in the past, but this was a whole new experience. A friend of mine, Dave Bush and Pat Briggs of Countyline Choppers who I’ve become friends with, provided me invaluable advice and guidance and kept me going. There were others that offered advice and help at times but these two guys helped me the most, answering questions, brainstorming with me or just pointing me in the right direction. Thanks to allThere is also a ton of info online and on discussion boards such as ClubChopper.com. And of course I need to thank my wife Cin, she puts the “”SIN”” into the name. Now, what to build next...”

Favorite aspect of bike: My goal was to build a bike with a very pleasing overall look, to have nothing that really jump out at you or looks out of place. It is possible to have too much chrome on a bike so I was careful to limit it and had some chrome parts stripped and powdercoated black instead. It’s the small details that give a bike character. Some of the things people notice initially are the seat, the fat rear tire, and the powdercoated coil cover. My favorite aspect is when people ask “who built it” or “where’d you buy it”, and I can honestly respond with “I built it and I ride it.” I spent 3 years out in my garage struggling, sweating, bleeding

TATTOO TONY UNDER MY SKIN TATTOO SHOP Taking the world by storm and rocking out the best tattoos around!

73 Memorial Pkwy., Atlantic Highlands, NJ 07716 . Shop Hours: Mon - Sat: 12-10 PM Sun: 12-5 PM When you walk into Tony’s shop you immediately get a feel for what his life has been like over the past 6 years since hooking up with friend Bret Michaels, of Rock of Love, Life as I Know It, and the group Poison. Guitars, basses, pictures of stars, bands, wrestlers, articles about his work and shop abound in the immaculate waiting area. The tattoo stations area big and spotless, and when you enter Tony’s room, filled with memorabilia, more guitars, drums sticks and great art work, you get the feeling this guy has been very busy! I sat down on this day for my Tattoo Tony Sugar Biker skull tat and we talked about what he has been up to, what he has coming, and how he came to get there. After spending most of the 80’s and 90’s at an Asbury Park tattoo shop cutting his teeth, he decided a change of scenery was needed so he opened up a shop in Tennessee’s Bible belt, surround by 3 churches. One of the pastors even had some ink from Tony. After a couple of years he headed down to Ocala, Florida and opened up another shop and spent some time in the sun. After a few years, this Jersey-raised guy headed back home to Asbury Park, NJ and opened up Dark City Tattoo. One day out of the blue he received a phone call from Bret Michaels who had seen one of Tony’s works of art on a mutual friend and ask him to come out to his home in PA. They hung out for the weekend and former body guard Big John even got a Tattoo, then they parted ways. A few months later Bret was playing in Seaside Heights and decided to call his new friend to come give him the tattoo they had spoken about, so Tony headed down and inked Bret minutes before he hit the stage. The rest, as Tony says, is history. He moved his shop to Atlantic Highlands up the highway from Asbury and dug in for one hell of a ride so far. The shop is doing great, and Tony has been featured on Bret’s show ‘Life as I Know It’, has his T shirts, shoe line, and new drink called Tattoo Tony’s Hard Iced Tea. He is on the Rockin Ink Tour with the band Modern Superstar, has been filming his own reality TV show and is raising his son as a single dad. This man is doing it all! Tony is a genuine person and good soul, always there with a smile and great attitude about life. We have become good friends and have done business together and I can’t think of a nicer guy on any level. This is one guy who has worked hard, done the right thing and deserves great things to come his way. When he finished my tattoo, it looked fantastic! The color, the lines, the shading, the man is a master of ink. Please go to www.undermyskintat2.com for more on his hard ice teas, his shop, T-Shirts, shoes, or info on the upcoming show, Under My Skin. If you have a chance, hit the Jersey shore and on your way to Sandy Hook Beach, which is 5 minutes away, get some Ink by Tony or the other great artists at his shop.

Who influenced you? My father, he put me on a little Suzuki DSu80 in the backyard and you couldn’t take me off it!! Self taught or classes? Well I initially learned from my father, then took the motorcycle school for licensing when I was old enough and freshen up when I am home, working with the instructors of Fishtail Riding School at New Hampshire Motor Sppedway or when they are in Jersey; I try to get there, too. Favorite ride route? Up and around Bear Mountain. Country or city rider? Country, nice scenery and sinding roads there’s nothing better than that on a warm summer day. Favorite spot to stop bar, grill or restaurant Alice’s Restaurant along HWY 1 in California. You will always find a group of riders outside that place, great atmosphere. Although it’s my favorite, it unfortunately is my least visited for geographic reasons ONLY! Favorite event you have attended: Moto GP at Laguna Bug or windshield? Helmet! Anything else you’d like to share? I grew up around motorcycles, my mom and father both ride and my father also races. Being at the motorcycle track was my second home. If you can find time to get to a track school, do it. The controlled atmosphere on the track will allow you to push your bike to its’ full potential while allowing you to hone in on the skills and techniques that will ultimately make you a better, safer rider on the road.

CONCERT REVIEW: Modern Superstar, Rockin Ink Tour,

Walhill Farm, Batesville, Indiana . March 11, 2011 Ericka “The Metal Princess” Macko

The show started off with an amazingly refreshing acoustic set in the restaurant lounge for some very special VIP ticket holders along with world famous tattoo artist and television personality Tattoo Tony Rodriguez. Belting out tunes such as Bon Jovi’s Wanted Dead or Alive and Poison’s Every Rose Has Its Thorn everyone had Nuthin’ But a Good Time, another cover performed superbly. Veterans of the business Jamie Fletcher, Ryche Green and Danny Watts, all former members of successful 80’s rock bands, teamed with the talented Bill Carpenter and newcomer to the band Jordan Dirty together form Modern Superstar. My favorite of the acoustic set was the guys taking the time to sing happy birthday to the daughter of fans in the crowd. They showed their generosity further by signing autographed photos for the family and posing in several pictures with them. I think the young teens’ face was as red from being embarrassed as my hands were from clapping for the great tunes. After the acoustic set, everyone moved to the barn where the main stage was set and several opening bands had already started performing. It was a bit of shame that Walhill Farm was sparsely populated Friday night during superstar filled five-piece Modern Superstar’s opening set for Quiet Riot. Despite the small audience, Modern Superstar dove in to its set with the same enthusiasm I’ve seen the band display with larger crowds. The nearly 45-minute set encapsulated its appeal — irrepressibly upbeat sound fronted by hard-charging, instrument-switching energy. Ryche Green’s furious drumming underpins the guitars of Danny Watts and Bill Carpenter and bass of newcomer to the band Jordan Dirty, while Jamie Fletcher gives the sound its edge with his wicked vocals. Modern Superstar began their set with a su-

perb rendition of Wasted followed by a set of their own tracks from the Under My Skin Album starting with Two Months Later, Want You, Hollywood Dirty, Blue, Generation Star and the popular single which is also Tattoo Tony’s Reality show theme song Devil’s Playground. Some 15 lucky ladies from the audience, including myself, ended up on stage to help sing over the track for “Girl School” and remained on stage for “Smooth Up In ya”. The overall sound was really good considering the venue was a barn with no heat. Next, Tattoo Tony was “dragged” on stage to assist Fletcher with a cover of Poison’s Look What the Cat Dragged In followed by the finale, a song from the movie Rockstar called We All Die Young which went over well and had the entire audience singing along! No encore, just a lot of entertainment to go along with an amazing performance… Modern Superstar’s 2011 tour dubbed, The Rockin’ Ink Tour, in support of their debut release “Under My Skin” is slated to kick off at Dingbatz in Clifton, New Jersey on March 31st and even includes shows in Europe. The tour will feature special appearances by Tattoo Tony Rodriguez. Under My Skin will be released on May 3, 2011 but have no fear you can pre-order your copy now for only $9.99 at www.jamsyncmusic.com. Modern Superstar will be performing at this years M3 Rock Festival and Rocklahoma. Tattoo Tony will be making special appearances during M3 at the Jamsync Music booth. Want The Rockin’ Ink Tour?
