words from the publisher Come by & See our Showroom of Bikes, Trikes & Accessories

Hi Folks,

Are you ready for the holidays? I don't think many will answer yes to that question. Most people are trying to make ends meet as best they can and the future of our economy remains questionable.Trying times makes businesses adapt or close doors. Many businesses have adapted and modified their focus and are doing well; others have not been as successful in that area. This year has been good for our publishing business as we have added another magazine to our stable. The Sword & Shield Magazine is a quarterly publication for Blue Knights members. It is direct mailed to over 22,000 members worldwide with the majority of members here in the United States. We are very blessed to have the opportunity to publish this magazine. My husband, Randy does an awesome job of putting this magazine together. He is also a proud honorary Blue Knight member of TNIII. If you would like advertising information for either of these publications, please contact Randy, myself or any of our awesome sales staff near you. When life gets you down, do what I do and get out and go for a ride on your motorcycle. I don't know how or why, but life's pressing issues just melt away when I get on my motorcycle and go for a ride. We don't let a little cold weather stop us from enjoying time in the saddle. We have heated gear and can continue to enjoy the riding season during the winter months. Please keep our advertisers in mind when you need work done to your bike over the winter; they need to keep income flowing in so they can keep their doors open and we can all benefit by the wonderful diversity of motorcycle industries.

Daytona Biketoberfest Continues as a Premiere Motorcycle Event

ens of thousands of motorcycle riders and enthusiasts came to enjoy a week at the beach as Daytona Beach, Florida played host to the 2012 Biketoberfest Festival. Riders from around the world converged on this site to take in the sun, the beach, rides, events, vendors, top musical bands and the atmosphere which makes Daytona Beach one of the largest motorcycle event destinations in the world. Beach Street was hopping with nearly 75 vendors and spotlighted by returning motorcycle businesses and a new one that expanded to a larger facility as they had outgrown their original facility, ROAR Motorcycles. Their facility is HUGE and like no other, it’s no wonder they sold nearly 20 motorcycles that weekend alone. Rossmeyer Harley-Davidson played host to nearly 100 vendors. Bands from all across the country played at a host of sites like the Boot Hill Saloon, Froggy’s, Dirty Harry’s, Broken Spoke Saloon, Iron Horse Saloon, Full Moon Saloon and many others. Main Street was packed side to side during the days and nights as bikers enjoyed the events and festivities offered by the many businesses up and down the venue. During a special media event we attended for Biketoberfest, the Daytona Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau brought up several VIPs including Shelly Rossmeyer, the Mayor, Law Enforcement dignitaries and many new sponsors. Several great announcements were made but it was obvious that all were excited to get the week started and rolling.

This trip is also the ﬁrst re-birthday of Fluffy, my wife’s motorcycle which was nearly totaled a year ago and put back to new condition by the folks at ROAR with a lot of help from Hoppe Industries and friends. Daytona Biketoberfest is very special to both of us because of the caring people that put this event on and the people of Daytona as well. See you all in Daytona for Bike Week in March!

2013 Harley-Davidson® CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide

By Smokin’ Joe Ball

arley-Davidson’s top Custom Vehicle Operations touring model, the CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide, hit its eighth consecutive year of production making it the longest run of any CVO branding to date. This model is truly Harley-Davidson’s flagship and the most expensive in the CVO stable. For 2013 the CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide is offered in four color schemes. Stardust Silver/Dark Slate/Titanium Dust with Thunderblade Graphics; Tribal Orange/Dark Slate/ Inferno Orange with Thunderblade Graphics; Typhoon Maroon/Black Diamond/Burgundy Blaze with Thunderblade Graphics and the 110th Anniversary Edition Diamond Dust/Obsidian with Palladium Graphics. Some new features of this model for 2013 include; Assist & Slip Clutch Pack that provides a slip feature on downshifts to reduce loading of the driveline; hydraulic actuation with reduced effort and reshaped lever. Chrome billet-style extended heel/toe shift lever. The Slipstream Collection heated hand grips, rider floorboard inserts, shifter pegs, brake pedal pad, passenger footpegs and windshield trim. An Indoor/Outdoor motorcycle storage cover with embroidered CVO logo and a perforated leather insert for seating and backrest surfaces. Standard features include; mirror chrome chisel custom wheels. Dual-control heated seat, hammock-style suspended in rider area and spring-board style suspension system in the passenger area. BOOM! Audio High Performance BOOM! Bagger front and rear speakers, 40W

per channel, Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system, SiriusXM satellite radio and amplifier w/ customized equalization for BOOM! Audio, Tour-Pak bottom liner with BOOM! Audio Bass Booster Ports. 8GB iPod nano, interface with integrated iPod holder. Dash-mounted Road Tech zumo 660 GPS unit feeds GPS verbal commands to the radio speakers. Color-matched inner fairing and cap, LED King Tour-Pak brake/ tail lamp, rear fender filler strips and saddlebag latches. Anti-lock brakes, electronic cruise con-

trol, black high-torque 1.4kW starter, braided stainless steel brake and clutch lines and the Harley-Davidson Smart Security System with siren. In my opinion the Ultra Classic Electra Glide is one of the most comfortable touring models available, boasting an impressive 118 ft. lbs. of torque at 3750 RPM. Surprisingly for a bike that weighs 927 lbs. the handling is superb as I soon discovered riding some of the best backroads available in East Tennessee.

CCRF, the Bike Build

Tennessee’s Combat Casualty Relief Fund

By The Mag Man, Randy Gracy n today’s world, American’s come to the aide of the soldiers returning from combat with injuries or problems by the thousands. And there are several great charities that support those soldiers like the Wounded Warrior Fund that is for soldiers throughout the United States. Sometimes it takes time to get the funds needed to soldiers when the need arises and it also depends on if the funds are available. The Tennessee National Guard has gone an extra step forming the C.C.R.F. (Combat Casualty Relief Fund) just for the soldiers and airmen of the TN National Guard. The Combat Casualty Relief Fund (CCRF) has been established to offer assistance to Soldiers and Airmen and their families as a means to offset ﬁnancial hardships incurred as a result of combat related casualties incurred during a deployment while serving in the Tennessee National Guard. Funding for these funds begins with

the people of Tennessee. The guys at Tellico Biker Rally (TBR) have begun to make one of the initial deposits to this fund by ﬁnding a bike builder and building a custom motorcycle with the help of several Tennessee businesses. Southern Biker Magazine was one of them. The build has begun and it will be given away at the 2013 Fall Tellico Biker Rally event to one of the soldiers from Tennessee. The money raised from the auction of the bike will give the CCRF its initial jump start to begin helping our soldiers. The bike builder was ﬁrst on the groups mind and they found one in Mike Denniston. He used to own a Florida Harley-Davidson dealership back in the day (now named Ga-

tor HD). After selling his dealership he moved to Cleveland Tennessee, opened a shop, retired and moved to Delano, TN. There he opened his current shop, Thunder Valley Cycles. Mike loves to build bikes and back in 1979, beat all builders including Arlen Ness for Best of Class & Best of Show. Mike was asked why he was donating his time building this entire bike. He answered, “For our guys. I’ll do this and whatever it takes for them, because they’ve already done it for me.” Parts began being gathered and donated from all over the area and state. The new engine was donated by Knoxville Harley-Davidson, Mid-south Motorcycle parts donated the forward controls, Bikes & Trikes sent in the primary belt drive, tins were donated by JD Vincent, the Springer front end by the Chopper Squad, the Log Cabin donated the dual exhaust, TBR donated the frame and several other parts by other g r e a t businesses and folks. The bike is starting to take shape. December, 2012

...continued

“These are hard times and especially for our soldiers. I just wanted to take the lead and get my partners on board to make this happen, and they never batted an eye. I look forward to the day we don’t have to raise money for our own soldiers, but until that time, there’s people like me and guys here at TBR and the TN National Guard CCRF folks that care and will bend over backwards for our fellow man and especially our soldiers and airmen from the state of Tennessee”, Said Mike Fouts, veteran and one of four owners of the Tellico Biker Rally. If you get a chance to help with the build or can donate a part or money to make this build happen so we can help donate to this fund, please do so. For the build, contact Mike Fouts at 423-404-4164.

NHRA Announces Inaugural Screamin’ Eagle Championship Motorcycle Series & Schedule

By The Mag Man, Randy Gracy

arley-Davidson is coming to the NHRA drag racing series and it has already set its 2013 schedule. The motorcycles will compete head to head in ﬁve different classes; Top Fuel, Pro Gas, Draggin’ Bagger, V-Rod and Hot Street. A total purse of $152,800 will be offered for all the classes combined. Points will be determined by the top seven races for each rider. All winners at each event will get the champions trophy from NHRA called a Wallyin honor of the late NHRA founder Wally Parks. At year’s end, only the Top Fuel points winner will be crowned NHRA Screamin’ Eagle

Champion and will also receive a special champion’s trophy along with a hefty bonus check. A lot of the racers will be coming in from other motorcycle drag racing divisions like AHDRA and AMRA. The AHDRA race schedule is on opposite weeks of the NHRA schedule and should allow those wanting to do both series to do so if they have the funding need to do the racing and travel. We’ve already had one drag racing series to go by the wayside, the AMA Drag Racing Series. Let’s hope this expands the racing and not tear it apart.

AHDRA Announces 2013 Schedule

013 will surely be an interesting one for Harley-Davidson drag racing. With the NHRA wanting to secure a HD series (and has done so), AHDRA released its 2013 schedule with six races. They are directly on opposite weekends that the NHRA races on so racers from both series can race in each other’s series. The AHDRA has several more classes for drag racing than does the NHRA, sixteen total classes. Screamin’ Eagle Top Fuel, Rush Pro Fuel, Rush Pro Gas, Hawaya Racing/Vreeland’s Harley-Davidson Pro Drag, Pro Stock, Pro Modiﬁed, Right Quick Street Pro, Screamin’ Eagle Draggin Bagger, Screamin’ Eagle V-Rod Destroyer, Screamin’ Eagle V-Rod, Hot Street, Bison Racing Super Gas, Super Sport, Rush Super Eliminator, Screamin’ Eagle Performance SEP and Syn3 ET. This gives the drag racer in all of us a chance to race on a professional level. Old Guys Do Rule Racing and Southern Biker Magazine sponsored Pro Stock drag bike rider Tom Caldwell who had an interesting 2012 year as well. He came from last place at the season’s opener, running down the competition and winning his 3rd AHDRA Championship at the very last race in Louisiana. At the same time he raced the AMRA Drag Racing series and ran down the competition

Tom Caldwell in route to his best drag racing season ever

to finish #2 in the AMRA drag racing series after not attending a couple races due to scheduling conflicts. He did all this in style setting several records and having his best average finish is in his career. 2013 is looking up for Tom Caldwell; NHRA has come calling as well. 2012 Results: AHDRA Pro Stock Championship AMRA #2 nationally in Pro Gas Best E.T. of 7.967 @ 163 MPH 9 Times #1 Qualifier 6 Wins • 2 Runner up’s 6 Records set
