WORDS FROM THE PUBLISHER
Hello Riders, The COVID-19 Corona virus has taken its toll on nearly every spring motorcycle event and has affected people’s lives throughout our great nation. Event organizers had to cancel or postpone their events through the middle of May (at this time). People’s lives have been turned upside down with the struggle of making through this outbreak. I for one believe the media is partly responsible for all of the sensationalism and causing more panic than necessary. If you go by the numbers, the regular flu is more serious to us right now with more deaths. The H1N1 virus killed more people and infected more than this one has so far, but
this virus is mutating and making it more difficult to rein in. This is uncharted territory on how to respond to this virus and is causing our country to shut down.

A FLYING MOTORCYCLE IS NOT THE FUTURE ANYMORE
IT’S HERE THE
LAZARETH
LMV 496 By The Mag Man, Randy Gracy
C
ustom motorcycles come in all shapes and sizes, but one thing is common to them all… they stayed with the rubber on the asphalt; But not anymore. The French guys at the Lazareth Company are on the cusp of a truly innovative motorcycle. They’ve created a motorcycle that holds not only roads, but the sky too. It’s true! Their LMV 496 is a flying motorcycle that defies all sense of fabrication, and science, including gravity. Lazareth changed out its original design by swapping out their gas-powered engine to an electric powertrain that would give the 496 a 62-mile range. For the pièce de résistance, pull a switch, and the wheels hydraulically move from their upright orientation to a horizontal one. The rumble of four jet turbines that pop out from the four-wheel hubs starts putting things in perspective, and 60 seconds later, you have lift-off. Powered by four 96,000-rpm JetCat jet turbines, this 308 lb motorcycle could make some 529 lb of thrust, which is about a whopping 1,300 horsepower. Concealed within the composite body is a kerosene tank with enough fuel capacity to allow the LMV 496 hover above the ground for a good ten minutes. While in flight, the dashboard displays essential flight information such as speed, position, altitude, etc., and once in the air, it can be controlled using joysticks, which are fixed on both sides of the handlebar. The four JetCat turbines are made by German innovators that work on the NASA/Skunk Works X-56A experimental aircraft. Until future technology prevails, this LMV 496 can only hover to up to 3.3 feet above the ground, but as quickly as technology turns another year, that will be enhanced

03_APR_2020_SBM.indd 8
quickly to accommodate city and urban travel. The height of the motorcycle will also increase as technology allows for it. If you observe, two extra turbines can be seen on either side of the chassis to handle more weight (or to provide forward thrust). The inventors left nothing to chance on this machine by adding design elements like the kevlar carbon composite bodywork, Italian rear loop, carbon wheel covers, TFX Suspension Technology, a digital dash, driving position, light steering, Rizoma accessories, braking, and the undercarriage technology. Only five copies of the LM 496 will be made. Four of the five motorcycles are available to order and each of these flying machines can be yours for a cool $500,000. Competition is quickly approaching this company and their hoverbike. Hoversurf inc., a Russian technology company, has been at designing a personal quadcopter hoverbike for a while, then there’s a guy making use of two Rotax lawnmower engines to build his own hoverbike and Jetpack Aviation’s Speeder made by a California startup also showed a concept of their jet-powered machine.

THE EFFECT OF THE COVID-19 ON MOTORCYCLE EVENTS T
here we all were 250-300,000 motorcycle enthusiasts at the 79th Annual Daytona Beach Bike Week. We enjoyed live music, nice Florida rides, vendors by the hundreds, all kinds of professional and amateur motorcycle racing, hanging out with friends and those awesome beach sunrises. Then with two days left from the ten-day event, the CDC and the government suggested what would become enforced later on. They shut down the outside vendors on Main Street to try to deter folks from gathering in large crowds. It had no effect as Main Street remained packed until Sunday when everyone headed home. That would be the last event for motorcycle riders for a while as one by one, events and bike weeks began to get the word either from local or state governments; No large crowd events period. Then it continued with shutting down bars, restaurants, hotels and so on. “Quarantine” is now a household word, as is “pandemic”. Just like sporting events, many motorcycle events were canceled or postponed and folks that ride were looking for answers to their Winter PMS; Parked Motorcycle Syndrome. Now with most everything closed, short rides at best are the only alternative for a month or two (or maybe longer).

Some of the events that were canceled or postponed were: • Daytona Beach Bike Week (last 2-days vendors closed on Main Street) • Leesburg Bikefest, Leesburg, FL (canceled) • Thunder Beach Spring Rally, Panama City Beach, FL (canceled) • Georgia Police Officer Memorial Ride, Atlanta, GA (postponed) • Spring Thaw Motorcycle Show & Swap Meet, Lebanon, TN (canceled) • National Police Week, Washington DC • Bama Coast Cruisin’, Orange Beach, AL (postponed) • Arizona Bike Week, Scottsdale, AZ • and many other events & rides Shutting down businesses and events do not just hurt the event involved, it also hurts the surrounding businesses around the event that depend on that income to survive. Those same business employees have no income and it negatively affects them even more. People are worried and panicking over a virus where the liberal media are still fanning the flames with gas. This has most folks scared to death and in such a panic; they do not know where to turn next.

This COVID-19 Chinese Kung-Flu virus and the media sensationalizing this thing also hurts other businesses associated with the motorcycle industry like motorcycle magazines and their staff, parts dealers, motorcycle dealerships and service places, and so on. Motorcycle ride benefactors are also hurt as the ride event is canceled or postponed with possibly less of a turnout. Well, seems our President and his staff are doing everything possible to get this virus over and done with and at the same time, trying to save our economy and our way of life. In the meantime, try doing something constructive and something you enjoy every day. Help those that have it worse than you. Aid those elderly who really need help especially those that are in panic mode. Ride when you can and ride safe. Be aware of what you need to combat this virus on your travels; hand sanitizer, less physical contact with others and keep to what you know best. Motorcycle riding seems to take a lot of stress off most everyone so…the prescription from Dr. Gracy is to ride and ride with friends, still enjoy each other’s company and be knowledgeable of what is the best way to be able to keep living your life well.

HISTORIC 79th
DAYTONA BIKE WEEK IN REVIEW
By The Mag Man, Randy Gracy
T
he 2020 riding season officially opened with somewhat of a loss for words. The CORV-19 virus began its hand at canceling motorcycle events, but not before the 79th Daytona Beach Bike Week was in full swing. Everyone enjoyed 80* weather and the abundant sunshine for the entire week. The Road Crew, Harold Holbert, Joanne Buzzone and I took part of a lot of events going on in the area; the Supercross, the Sons of Speed vintage motorcycle racing, the Ruff Ride and everything happening at Destination Daytona and on Main Street including the Legnedary Boothill Saloon. Vendors were set up along Main Street, Daytona International Speedway, at Rossmeyer’s Destination and a few extra places. At least 250,000-300,000 braved the Corona virus beginnings and came to enjoy the World’s Most Beautiful Beaches. This is the largest motorcycle event of the year packed with 10 days of non-stop everything to do with motorcycles. Riders come from around the world just to take part in this event. Our friends from overseas were no different as Bernd & Suzi came over from Germany and Danilo & Bibi came from Italy via French Guyana (note- all passed CORV-19 testing at every point). It was a great time catching up on the world and hearing what each other has been up to. That’s just another reason to come to Daytona Bike Week, to see old friends and friendships renewed. I also got to see a lot of our Blue Knight friends as we dined as Jim & Gina Trachta’s house and partook of some grilling out around the pool with Jim & Karen Borza. Top entertainment acts were all over the place like Saliva, Hayfire, Jasmine Cain, Molly Hatchet, Straight Jacket Smile, Big Engine, Miss Intent, Stone Grey, and a whole lot more! Jay Allen MC’d the events and entertainment at the Broken Spoke Saloon while across the street the Iron Horse Saloon was busy. The Boothill Saloon Outpost was hoppin’ with activity all week long as well. On the Main drag, the Dog House stayed packed every

day with big-name entertainment and a professional staff to take care of everyone’s needs. At the Rat’s Hole Custom Bike Show, the New York-Rzeszów motorcycle built by the Polish company Game Over Cycles took first place in the “Over 1000 cc Custom” category. The owners of the motorcycle are Polish immigrants Bobbi and Lucy Wawrzaszek. The Old School Chopper Show at Tattoo Willies brought in a tremendous amount of built motorcycles as well. At Destination Daytona, we took in all the vendors, cold beverages and dropped in on Bobby Phillips at the Sinister Sound booth for some tremendous sound upgrade! After that it was time for Finn’s on Flagler Beach to meet up with friends for a late lunch. During the week and taking in all the events and entertainment around the area gives you a big appetite so we rode into some of our favorite eateries; Zappi’s Italian Garden, Finn’s Beachside Pub, the Tipsy Taco, the Ocean Deck and of course everything on Main Street. Everyone was having a great time and enjoying everything….then it hit. The news came that new CDC and the government regulations are to take effect immediately. The races set for Saturday were all canceled; the Daytona 200 Superbike races and the Flat Track TT races. At 8am Saturday morning, outside vendors on Main Street had to close up shop. It still did not affect everyone having a good time, but it was a sign of things to come. Lucky for everyone, they got in a full week of riding in Daytona to kick-off what most will know as the Corona Virus lock-down. Next up for Daytona Beach is the 28th annual Biketoberfest. Make your reservations early and get set for a great time at the beach! For more info go to: www.daytonabeach.com/biketoberfest/. April 2020

Throwback Racing VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE RACING AT THE SONS OF SPEED By The Mag Man, Randy Gracy Photos by Joanne Buzzone
W
ith the COVID-19 virus looming, Billy Lane’s Sons of Speed vintage motorcycle race took place as scheduled. The 79th Daytona Bike Week kicked off and throw back racing to yesteryear was showing some speed around the asphalt oval of the New Smyrna Speedway. Billy Lane and over 30 racers with their teams came to race in this prestigious race of vintage motorcycles. Races consisted of three different motorcycle race class; Stock 45’s, Stock 61’s and Hot 61’s that have been “souped up” to go faster than originally intended. Our Road Crew lady Joanne Buzzone was on the scene and took in all the action from pits. She met up with some of the racers; Jody Perewitz, Ebay Jake, Rick Petco, Josh Owens and of course Billy Lane. In the pits is where the action takes place and everyone helps everyone. It is a continued show of great sportsmanship as when someone is in need, many kick in to help where they can. Billy, being owner and bike fabricator of Chopper’s Inc. keeps the vintage motorcycle racing and the past with passion. He remains an old school bike builder and can pound a tin with the best of them. His retail shop is located directly on Main Street and you can catch him there from time to time. He always has some great vintage bikes on display for everyone to see there. The racing this year was intense as every racer wanted to win the prestigious trophies Billy always has designed for the winners. 500600 people watched from the stands as the qualifying races took place and then the finals. The pits were packed with team members trying to get the most out of their vintage bikes. Wrenches were being turned and the smell of fuel was welcomed by all race fans. Billy, Erin and their staff continue to outdo themselves with this type racing and keeping the memories of long ago motorcycle racing alive. Make your plans for the Sons of Speed during Daytona Biketoberfest. You will fall in love with motorcycles from yester-year.

DAVIS
AND HIS TRIBUTE TO HIS SISTER
go to a lot of motorcycle shows all over the country, but sometimes, that certain something catches you attention. A lot of us go about our days and really don’t worry about much at all; work, watch or play sports, ride motorcycles, eat and sleep. But imagine doing all that and a whole lot more from a wheelchair. Then taking that extra step by putting together a huge event to honor one of your siblings you lost. That is exactly what Roy Davis is doing. February 24, 1981, at the age of two years old, Roy was injured in an auto accident with his grandfather driving. A fire truck ran a red-light without its lights or sirens on. The accident killed his grandfather and left Roy paralyzed from the waist down. He would endure his childhood from a wheelchair but continued to live as normal life as you can with his permanent injuries. Roy’s sister, Rebekah, was born when he was but three years old. As she turned two years old, she was diagnosed with leukemia. She eventually passed away from the disease at 10 years old on Roy’s 13th birthday. He was close to her and it impacted him as life went on through high school and more. Roy would go on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree, Masters Degree & a PHD in Business Management from the University of Alabama. He would then start his own investment company. Later, his alma mater would come calling for him to teach and thus he became a professor. Don’t think that teaching college kids would slow Roy down. In 2002 Roy rebuilt a 1934 Chevy Coupe himself, with the little help of his dad and friends. Roy is also an avid outdoors person who loves to deer and hog hunt and fish (no matter if it’s freshwater or salt). He’s also a big NASCAR fan enjoying it live or on the TV. He doesn’t shy away from crowds either, he rather takes it all in and others around him see his zest for life and it becomes contagious. And he certainly loves his Alabama football. That’s apparent weather his taking photos with Nick Saban, hanging out with Jalen Herd (or other Tide players) or kickin’ it with family and friends during the game! Later in life, with his cousin Anthony, Roy decided on a car show that would be done in Rebekah’s honor benefiting St. Jude Children’s Hospital. They began their shows in 2005 and today it is one of the largest shows around. This year will be the 15th Anniversary Rebekah Davis Car, Truck & Bike Show. His trophies are one of kind for the top five in each class. Folks that attend his event love seeing the hundreds of machines on display. Roy is living his life large. He doesn’t complain about it, he instead embraces it and lives life to the fullest and as happy as he possibly can. He a shining example of what we wish we were just part of the time. Make sure to stop by and say high to the professor at this year’s show and make sure to get your photo with him… he doesn’t mind at all.

Upgrade your pet’s life. Boundary Plus® Technology means bigger freedom in smaller areas
• This exclusive technology delivers up to 30% more yard space allowing your dog (or cat) to safely play right up to the yard’s edge. It’s the perfect fit for unique or small lots and tight spaces.
Virtual endless boundary
• Prevents any “breakthrough” where pets run beyond the signal’s reach, leaving no room for escape.
Zero unintentional yard lock-outs
• Other systems can confuse pets if they “breakthrough” the boundary and try to reenter, emitting a correction and stopping them from coming home. Boundary Plus® containment ensures this can’t happen!
