Truckers Against Predators Truckers Against Predators is a network of truck drivers, parents and concerned citizens who advocate for the safety of America’s children every day. They work tirelessly to expose these predators while collaborating with both law enforcement and legislators to influence law and crime standards for child predators. The team monitors social media platforms, chat rooms, websites, games & forums. They are on the lookout for suspicious questions, conversations and connections. These trained adult volunteers act as decoys connecting with suspected criminals, engaging with them in a detailed process and setting a meeting place and time. The police are called on every case. TAP meets the alleged predator and confronts them live on video. The goal is that the exposure and evidence leads to an immediate arrest & public awareness. Truckers Against Predators was founded by Anthony Greene in 2017. Anthony founded TAP because, as a child, he was a victim of child abuse. Anthony saw it as an opportunity to help make a difference in the world.
In fact, some states’ laws dictate that, unless caught in the act, these types of scenarios are deemed “victimless crimes.” Anthony certainly did not agree with that, and neither would most parents. Knowing he could not keep quiet or stand by and do nothing, Anthony got to work and founded TAP. He began seeking out the predators, intercepting them at rendezvous points and exposing them on live video on social media. To date, Anthony is exposing predators almost every day of the week. The police are called ahead of time on every case. Transcripts and video footage are provided to them as evidence. Sometimes the predators are arrested, many times they aren’t. In Arizona, in particular, the city of Yuma Police Department works closely with Anthony and his team to bring justice. It is Anthony’s desire and goal to have great collaborations with every police department. Over the course of the last few years, Anthony has built up a team who help identify and draw out these monsters and expose them for their planned crimes. All of this work is done on personal time and without any compensation. Days, even weeks are spent on just one case to ensure extra caution and proper protocols are in place. Live meetups often last all night once the police are involved.
As a father and truck driver, Anthony Greene drives thousands of miles every month. While on the road, he saw the work of adult predators in truck stops and parking lots in both big cities and small towns across Anthony is active on social media and uses his voice America. After calling the police on multiple occasions to educate parents, influence legislators, support police and receiving little support, Anthony was faced with departments and save children. a dilemma. Many states do not have laws in place that www.truckersagainstpredators.tv adequately protect children from these sick individuals.

Consider the facts:
The first reason is related to transportation and location. Nashville is one of only six U.S. cities where 3 major interstates converge. Additionally, you can reach 75% of the U.S. market within a 2-hour flight time from Nashville, making it a strategic point for movement around the country. Nashville is also in close proximity to Atlanta – a large metropolitan area known for high amounts of human trafficking – and this adds to the transportation of victims throughout the state.
In the United States, on average, every two minutes a child is bought or sold for sex. The average age of a child sold for sex is 13 years old. Human Trafficking is the second-fastest growing criminal industry, just behind Drug Trafficking.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) has reported that human trafficking is the second-highest rising crime in the state. This type of exploitation can begin in childhood or adolescence. Despite common The second reason that Nashville is a popular spot for misconceptions, the Polaris Project’s statistics show that human trafficking is its large tourism and sporting the majority of trafficked individuals in the country are industries. Studies have shown that popular events U.S. citizens, not foreign nationals. It is a harsh reality that are characterized by large influxes of people that the young people in our lives may be the same (like the Super Bowl, for example) typically increase ones vulnerable to traffickers. Additionally, human the demand for sexual exploitation. The presence of trafficking often does not align with over-dramatized both the Nashville Predators and Tennessee Titans, as media portrayals. Manipulation is more common well as events such as CMA Fest, the NFL Draft, and than abduction, and most often, a trafficker is a family Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival can drive a demand member, friend or individual a victim already knows. for trafficked services and make it harder for traffickers to be identified and caught.

It is an exquisite painting! The muted shades of blue mixed with a blush of soft white gave the sky a sense of tranquility and formed the background for a hand extending toward the earth. When I look at that picture, I am in awe as I imagine the hand of Jesus extending through the clouds as though to reach from His world of perfection into my world of imperfection. The scene is one of compassion and supplication, not as though He is contemplating destruction or withdrawal, but simply an offer to lay my hand in His. How often do we pray, imploring God to rescue us or supply for us only to fail to see His hand in answer? “Give Me your hand,” says the Lord. “Take My provision. Let Me comfort you as you lay your cares in My extended Hand.” Sometimes I feel like life is just a journey from one crisis to another. It often seems that I forget the wins and become consumed by the failures. I forget to reach for that hand extended, remembering that Jesus is the ultimate crisis counselor. When He walked this earth, He was called to many crisis scenes; the Canaanite woman with the demon possessed daughter (Mark 15:23-28), a great storm that threatened the ship (Matt 8:24), His own trial before Caiaphas (Luke 22), and the humiliation of the crucifixion (Matt 27:46, Mark 15:34). Jesus faced them all in the light of His calling. But there is one story of Jesus’ compassionate hand extended that deeply resonates with me. John tells of Mary’s great sorrow at not being able to find her Lord after His death. Jesus had not even ascended to His Father yet, but when He saw her crying He reached out to her. “Mary,” He said. Can you imagine her ignoring Him, continuing in her pain, refusing to see through her tears or look to that hand, that voice, which offered the answer? Yet, how often do we do just that? When I was a paramedic I asked many people to take my hand so I could help them. One little boy watched as we loaded his mommy onto the stretcher. His tear-filled eyes regarded me with suspicion. “Are you going to bring her back?” I could not lie to him, but to say no was too painful for both of us. I held out my hand and said, “Give me your hand.” When he did I placed it on his mommy’s chest and asked him if he could feel her heartbeat. He could not. I asked him if he knew Jesus and he smiled. “Take His hand,” I told him, “And hold on tightly.” No matter what is coming in the future or what shadow haunts us from the past, if we look up and envision that hand extended we can take it, receive from it, or climb into it. It has never been withdrawn or closed into a fist. It is patiently waiting for us. Think About This.

AMERICAN MADE S
ay motorcycle and the first thing that comes to most mind is a great roaring Harley. I say roaring because Harley-Davidson owners like ‘em loud, even going as far as to change out parts or all of the exhaust system just to boost the noise level. otorcycles originated in Hermany in 1885 when Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach invented the first internal combustion engine and attached it to a bicycle frame. This creation went a whopping 6.8 mph. The HarleyDavidson models were totally American made, produced in a factory located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by William Harley and the Davidson brothers, Walter, Arthur, and William. Harley was messing around in his woodshed and came up with a small engine design that he fit to a bicycle body. It was 1903 when Harley and the Davidson boys joined their separate talents to create a motor-bicycle. It did pretty well on the flat roads but struggled on the hills requiring old-fashioned foot pedal power to help out. Soon enough, though, the guys developed the Harley-Davidson Model 1that could eat up the road at 35 mph. By 1907, they had a large factory, building 150 motorcycles that year, and began supplying the police force with a more modern way to beef up patrols. he Harley-Davidson brand achieved wide recognition for publishing the first motorcycle catalog in the world. Their bikes showed up in races winning first place. The company designed the Bar & Shield Logo, patenting it as their trademark. The

logo was designed to represent strength and stability. The Harley was and still is a product that has proven its strength and stability. he Harley-Davidson company survived the Great Depression (1929-1939). The debilitating depressed economy calvinized the industrial world, but the company made it through. Just the year before the Depression began Harley manufactured the JD series models with top speeds of 100 mph. Towards the end of the economic crisis a model called the Knucklehead set a new speed record on land of 136 mph. As President Roosevelt’s New Deal began to provide relief and recovery from the Depression, World War II was gearing up. In 1941 the Harley factory stopped production of all civilian motorcycles and restyled for military models. After the war ended the company continued to build better, more efficient, more powerful models, as well as modern designs to fir the many diverse lifestyles and users. n 1983 a club strictly for Harley owners was formed. The Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) expanded to 90,000 people from all over the world. In 1993, 90 years after the company began, Harley owners gathered in Milwaukee for the Family Reunion. There were an estimated 100,000 riders in a celebration parade. The parade of 1998 boasted some 140,000 riders. Let us go back to the noise so appreciated by Harley folks. Can you imagine the excitement and energy produced by 140,000 Harleys in full voice? Some ask why motorcycle riders rev their engines while stopped at a light. These motors certainly do not claim to stall out requiring this action to keep them going. No, it is simply for the attention. Vroom, Vroom is not just for children playing with models on the floor. Harley riders like the noise and the attention that comes from revving their engines. After all, that is the best part of owning one of these splendid machines. As for speed... The FXDR 114 model can zoom down the road at around 160 mph. Turn the page.

AMERICAN MADE
The conversation may go like this: Q. “What did you do?” A. “I mounted a Chevy V-8 engine on a motorcycle body.” Q. “Why did you do that?” A. “Why not? Cause I could.” Q. “Did it work?” A. “Yep!!!” The year was 1990, and that was the beginning of Boss Hoss Motorcycles. Monte Warne from Dyersburg, TN built a huge bike by himself and true to the spirit of motorcycle riders everywhere, he had fun with it. His idea soon outgrew his one-man shop, expanding to a 22,000 square foot factory. He kept the design simple beginning with a single speed one gear transmission, then adding a two-speed manual shift model. Boss Hoss is a custom creation, made completely by hand, using all American

Tennessee Full Throttle Magazine www.tnfullthrottle.com
made Chevrolet engines. Mr. Warne is a quiet man, not much caring for the spotlight, but if you know the type you can almost picture his proud grin when he rides his 1,000 + pound bike into Daytona’s Bike Week or out to Strugis. These custom bikes also come in a 3-wheeled version which makes it easier for some of the faint of heart riders to control. While every component of this bike is American made, its name has reached international recognition. Luckily, Mr. Warne was able to assemble a talented crew of technicians to help him fill the orders that came pouring in as soon as word got out that this massive bike with its outlandish power came with a smooth as silk ride. The Boss Hoss team makes a few modifications to the Chevy 350 V-8 Corvette engine and with a two-speed transmission this machine can go from 0 to 100 mph in 4 seconds flat. It will ride smooth in first gear at 80 mph, so unless you are on the Autobahn you won’t even need to use the manual shift to second gear. There is a story that Mr. Warne got pulled over for drag racing. He was calm and pleasant, offering the officer to try out his bike. The officer did. The company is now owned by the Dietz brothers, but the quality and energy of the Boss Hoss motorcycle has remained. The cost for one of these can start at $30,000.00, then considering customization you could be looking at upwards of $70,000.00. Be still my heart! Janith Emm

AMERICAN MADE In 1897 a gentleman named George Hendee began a bicycle company named The Hendee Manufacturing Company based in Connecticut. He branded his bicycles as Silver Queen and Silver King, later replacing these names to simply American Indian. To make this even smoother for product recognition he shortened the name to Indian. An interesting story lies behind these names. Mr. Hendee wanted a completely American made product. He could think of no better way to make this point than to name his models after the Indian culture, as this was as American as it got. The story is told that when Columbus landed on American soil he thought he was in India. When he encountered the natives he called them Indians, thinking India people. The name stuck even after he realized his navigation had been off. Somewhere in Mr. Hendee’s life he became enamored of Chief Sitting Bull. When he determined to set up his company as American specifically, he asked Chief Sitting Bull for permission to use the Indian name and their cultural identities for his company and products as a way to honor the American natives. Permission was granted. In 1923 Hendee Manufacturing Company officially changed the name to Indian Motorcycle Manufacturing Company. In 1900 Mr. Hendee acquired a business partner named Oscar Hedstrom. Both of these gentlemen were well acquainted with bicycles as builders and racers of bicycles. After building a few prototypes, they settled on a design and produced an American made motorcycle. They were not the only company creating and producing motorcycles at the time. Mr. Harley and the Davidson brothers were also beginning their motorcycle business. Keep that in mind as we move back to the Hendee road. The first motorcycle produced by Hendee and

Hedstrom had a simple engine design and was quite successful. These motorcycles were sleek in design, chain driven and painted a deep red color which would later become the Indian trademark. It was at this point that Hendee Manufacturing Company began to sub-let its business and parts production components. The Indian motorcycle was reported to be the highest quality bike available, a product known worldwide. Their business practices did not fare as well as the product. It depends on what history report you read, but there were several entities involved in the company’s management and parts production which ultimately led to Hedstrom’s resignation in 1913. He claimed the board of directors were not legal in the way they did business. Mr. Hendee resigned in 1916. The company retained the Indian name. World War I claimed nearly all of the Indian motorcycle inventory, leaving the American dealers with little to sell. After the war Indian could not recover enough to keep up with Harley-Davidson. As new models were created the Indian theme was continued with the Scout model and the Chief model. The factory was known as the Wigwam. The motorcycles were well made, strong and reliable, but they still trailed behind Harley-Davidson. When World War II demanded product, Harley held first place with the United States military. Indian picked up a small amount of the provision but was forced to expand to the British armies and other combat allies. It seems that Indian struggled to keep up with new designs and marketing plans that might pull them ahead in the motorcycle competition, but never quite succeeded. In 1953 they called it quits, filing for bankruptcy. Indian Motorcycle Company went through
Tennessee Full Throttle Magazine www.tnfullthrottle.com
several hands over the years, moving to different cities while remaining an American company. New models were named after the Indian theme such as: Chief Classic, Chief Vintage, Chieftain, Chief Dark Horse. Polaris Industries bought Indian in 2011 and it seems that Indian Motorcycle finally has a leadership with financial and quality stability. Maybe not drinking buddies with Harley-Davidson, but not trailing behind either. Janith Emm

AMERICAN MADE The year is 2011, the official beginning of Arch Motorcycles. When you have an idea and the money to back it up one reward can be the KRGT-1 motorcycle, the first production bike of the newly formed company. The author of this company is Keanu Reeves, a wellknown Hollywood actor. In real-life, as they say, he is just a guy with a bike and an idea for a better bike. Mr. Reeves enjoyed riding motorcycles, getting a taste of what was available and how different models and brands rode and performed. Then he wanted to make one of his own and discovered there were talented folks who could fabricate his ideas. One man in particular was Gard Hollinger. It took some convincing, but Mr. Reeves was able to share his vision and Mr. Hollinger agreed to try to execute his ideas. Success!!
meet with the designers to personally fashion your bike. Then you will wait while they build it for you, piece by fabulous piece meticulously formed and fitted together to breathtaking perfection. Then you can forget how much it cost and just be grateful for your good fortune.

Arch motorcycles can be spoken in the same breath with Robin Leach and Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. There is nothing common about this bike. Every unit made by Arch is a custom product. When you are looking at a base price of $85,000.00 this bike needs to be built to fit the bottom that is going to sit on it with any custom feature that will make the buyer comfortable. Each component of each unit is fabricated with the highest quality material and craftsmanship. Arch also offers continued follow-up care and servicing on an individual personal level. The KRGT-1 design grew out of a need, a need to do something splendid, just because Keanu Reeves wanted to. This bike is sleek and clean, large but not massive, happiest on the challenging twisty roads where its elegant noise can echo off canyon walls or disappear across the open land. You won’t acquire a KRGT-1 off a showroom floor, you will make an appointment and
