It involves brotherhood (or sisterhood) and the bond that can only be formed by undertaking a journey of discovery with another. It involves the spirit of exploring and discovering new roads, new destinations, and new experiences. It relates to the kindred spirit that burns within so many of us, and the recognition that others have such a similar passion. It grows as we discover that we can unite as one behind a cause that we all believe in – exemplified by a memorial ride with hundreds of bikes or a small group out for the day in search of new horizons to explore. Our motorcycles are simply a means of releasing these feelings and passions that we all have. Regardless of it being a bike we own and ride ourselves, or one that we ride behind another on – our bikes allow us to break free of our routine constraints and more fully experience life. I am proud to present this magazine, full of destinations and journeys, for your consideration. I hope that it adds a smile to your face or a gleam in your eye as you imagine the roads that lie before you. Our pages contain hundreds of possible places to go and the means of connecting with thousands of other riders, and I encourage you to reach out and explore. Don’t hold back and limit your experience. Take a chance and join the ride with total strangers in support of a cause you believe in. Check out the demo rides, and feel what it’s like to ride on that bike you’ve always dreamed of. Go ahead and spend the day riding – just to try a hamburger served in a joint on the other side of the state. Motorcycles allow us to discover ourselves, by breaking free of the constraints that can be so overwhelming these days. This magazine serves as yet another tool aimed at allowing you to fully experience the open road and the life beyond our daily routine. Thank you for joining us on this journey, and I hope our paths cross along the way.

VICTORY MOTORCYCLES UNVEILS ISLE OF MAN ELECTRIC RACE BIKE Victory Motorcycles has been quite the busy bee these days. Mere days after showing a preview of its much-hyped Project 156 bike with Roland Sands Design for the 2015 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb , the Polaris-owned motorcycle brand KDV XQYHLOHG D GLȝ HUHQW PRWRUF\FOH LW SODQV WR UDFH LQ D GLȝ HUHQW FRPSHWLWLRQ It doesn’t come with a name - not yet anyway - but apparently, this electric bike will be Victory Motorcycles’ entry into the SES TT Zero Challenge at the 2015 Isle of Man TT . In hindsight, Victory’s decision to enter the TT Zero Challenge shouldn’t have come as a surprise considering the recent wheeling and dealing its parent company, Polaris, went through back in March 2015 when it purchased Brammo’s electric bike and powertrain technology. The bike itself will likely use some of this newly acquired technology to go with participation

from world-class manufacturer Parker Hannifin, which provided the GVM PMAC motors and what Victory describes as "highly sophisticated electric controls” to maximize the bike’s peak power, power delivery, and overall durability. The set-up sounds impressive but it still isn’t a guarantee that Victory’s electric bike will win the event. But as far as statementmaking purposes are concerned, Victory’s decision to enter the TT Zero Challenge was heard loud and clear. Coinciding with the disclosure of the company’s planned participation in the race, Victory Motorcycles also announced that William Dunlop will take the saddle of one of the two electric motorcycles and will be joined on the other bike by Lee Johnston. It’s going to be interesting to see how Victory Motorcycles performs in its maiden participation at the TT Zero Challenge. Expect it to have its hands full against a strong field.

JET REACTION A British-built jet bike called ‘Jet Reaction’ is hoping to set a new world record for the fastest land vehicle on two wheels later this year. Jet Reaction is designed to reach speeds in excess of 400 mph (644 km/h), or 587 feet per second. The current record holder for fastest motorcycle was set in 2010 by the Lawless Electric Rocket Bike at 376.36 mph (605.69 km/h). To increase this jet bike’s probability of reaching such blistering speeds with maximum safety in mind, the team will make the RȞ FLDO DWWHPSW LQ 6HSWHPEHU DW %RQQHYLOOH Salt Flats in Utah where its flat ground and

dry air are ideal conditions for minimizing air resistance and the chances of Jet Reaction turning into a fiery inferno. “We’re all praying Mother Nature plays ball and leaves us with a nice dry, smooth surface on which to operate,” said Richard Brown, the bike’s engineer and designer. Unlike previous two-wheeled record holders that relied on mechanically driven engines with a chain or driveshaft (a rotating shaft that transmits torque from an engine) for power, Jet Reaction owes its speed to a uniquely modified helicopter engine. Of course, speeds in excess of 200 mph on land come with significant risk to both drivers and vehicle stability.

Since the mid-1990s, Brown has been working hard on developing high performance vehicles. Twice, he’s come close to setting new world records.The first attempt took place in 1999 with a jet bike called the Mach 3 Challenger that reached a speed of 332.887 mph (535.730 km/h). At the time, this was a record setting speed that fell short due to a canceled return run. Brown’s Jet Reaction jet bike is scheduled for a speed test in the United Kingdom from May 23 to 25, and there are five American teams that are also competing to break and set new world records.

KLOCK WERKS BUILDS KUSTOM 2015 INDIAN SCOUT TO HONOR THE USO Klock Werks was tasked by Indian Motorcycle to create a military tribute motorcycle that represents the recent partnership announced between the 114 year-old brand and the USO military service organization. The new Indian Scout was the perfect platform for Klock Werks to build a military tribute style bike reflecting the heritage and roots of the Scout model and creating a ride-able custom to promote awareness of the partnership. “The USO does so much as a non-profit for the moral of our troops and entertainment during those long stints away from family, we are proud to give back in such a way that utilizes the talents of our team and a great motorcycle like the Scout", said Brian Klock, founder of Klock Werks. Motorcycles have long been a staple piece of equipment in military ranks used as scouting platforms, messenger units, and military police units. Military motorcycles embodied the power of freedom and adventure that carries through every motorcycle on the road today. The Klock Werks team stripped down the new Indian Scout and rebuilt it respecting the past, but maintaining the modern performance that has taken the motorcycle scene by storm.

"The balance of custom touches and keeping the bike rideable for future events was critical. We were not trying to recreate an old bike but rather conjure up images of yesteryear while respecting the modern water-cooled powerplant, and innovative design elements", Brian stated. "Klock Werks team took Indian's direction and

executed a fully functional motorcycle. The talented team from Boyd's Gunstocks certainly added the frosting to the cake with their HȝRUWV :H DUH IRUWXQDWH WR EH DEOH WR ZRUN with the USO on furthering their cause and be surrounded by the talent in Mitchell, SD." Klock Werks Kustom Cycles is honored and humbled to have the opportunity to partner with Indian Motorcycle on a project that pays tribute to the outstanding service men and women of our country. With an impressive track record of supporting U.S. troops dating back to WWI, Indian Motorcycle has always believed in the importance of standing strong to support the Military. - Photos and article courtesy Klock Werks.

Kacy, who was 12 when she started racing, started winning her class in AMA District 36 events. She and her dad decided to make a larger commitment to national-level competition. For 2014, that journey has led her to one of the mostpopular AMA-sanctioned series: Grand National Cross Country. Martinez says that while the series, which is mostly in the eastern United States, is a long way from her central and northern California stomping grounds, it feels like home to her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although I grew up riding out west, I raced more hare scrambles,â&#x20AC;? Martinez says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So for me, racing the GNCCs is a little bit like coming back to my roots. I really like riding single track.â&#x20AC;? Martinez also says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impressed by the professionalism of the series.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The series is awesome,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really working hard to get women out there and get our names out there. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just crazy how many spectators come out and watch the whole show, so it really helps to advance women in the sport if we have a good platform at the GNCCs.â&#x20AC;? Martinez says this is aided by the GNCC/hare scrambles format, which puts multiple classes on the course at once, allowing a direct comparison between men and women racers.

LEGISLATIVE REPORT Thank you to everyone that attended ABATE of Ohio Awareness Ride/Rally. Thank you to Rep. Landis for the Keynote speech. That Legislator of the Year jacket looks great on you! HB 115 has had sponsor testimony. HB 115 is the Road Guard Bill. Rep. Green and Rep. Landis are both sponsors on this bill. The bill is with the Transportation Committee. Rep. Green is planning interested party meetings to negotiate with us and law enforcement on potential amendments. HB 93 is a bill that creates a breast cancer awareness motorcycle license plate. This bill is sponsored by Rep. Hazelbaker and 5HS /DQGLV ,W KDV SDVVHG WKURXJK FRPPLWWHH DQG ZLOO QRZ JR WR WKH À RRU RI 2KLR¶ +RXVH RI 5HSUHVHQWDWLYHV 6R IDU WKLV ELOO KDV had no objections. If you would like to help on this great cause, contact your House of Representative and ask them to support HB 93. The Ohio Department of Public Safety and Motorcycle Ohio are considering changing the motorcycle Learner›s Permit process. ABATE of Ohio is very interested in this issue. I will pass it on when I learn more. Last but not least, we heard last week that there is law enforcement in the Cleveland issuing warnings for wearing hearing protection while riding a motorcycle. Yes Ohio, wearing hearing protection while operating any motor vehicle is illegal. We haven›t taken any action on this law because there hasn›t been any enforcement of the law. If warnings are being issued it›s time start discussions with our legislators. I informally discussed it with Rep. Landis at the Awareness Rally. Regards, Scott “Woody” Wood State Government Relations Director ABATE of Ohio, Inc.

SAFETY REPORT Hi Friends, Well here we go, it’s June and the weather is letting us get out and ride. Now we need to remember all the skills that we have learned over the years to stay out of trouble. I pulled the crash report as of May 8th and they are: for 2014 - Crashes – 502 and Fatalities -21 and for 2015 – Crashes – 409 and Fatalities – 10. See how just a few days of sunshine will bring these numbers up. These numbers come from reports sent to Columbus and we know in Northwest Ohio we have several fatalities that are not included here. A great way to ride is to ride SMART. This stands for Ride Sober, Ride Motorcycle Endorsed, Ride Alert, Ride Right Gear and Ride Trained. If everyone would follow this great acronym we would have fewer crashes. It is easy to tell someone they have a bald tire, but so hard to help someone get his or her endorsement. Now for the hard one – Alcohol. The way I like to bring up this subject is to just say the 3 R’s. Be Responsible, know your limits. Don’t let your friends change your mind and don’t let yourself get caught up in just one more. Ride Responsible. You are in charge! Don’t ride impaired and call for a ride if you have had too much. And Take Responsibility is the person that says: Man you’re wasted, I will call home for you and you can stay with me. Individual responsibility is the ultimate way to reduce fatalities. I would like to thank everyone that came out for the kick off for Motorcycle Awareness Month 2015. What a great day, sun shine all day and no rain. Many thanks to all the volunteers that help get everyone checked in. Thanks to Jim and Diane for having the products there. Thanks to the Columbus Police and the Delaware Sheriffs for coming out and keeping us safe. And thanks to AD Farrow’s for letting us invade their space. Last of all, a big thank you to Region 9 for a great time at the After Rally Party. It was just a great time for all. For any one that is hunting for something to do, go online to ABATE.com then to events and \RX ZLOO ¿ QG D ULGH LQ \RXU DUHD 7KH QH[W ELJ VWDWH HYHQW LV -XQH -DP 7KHUH ZLOO EH EDQGV Friday and Saturday night, Poker run, Bike games and a Bike Show. We have a lot of space camp and lots with shade. This all takes place just outside of Logan Ohio, on June 19th, 20th and 21st, 2015. More info online.

Everyone check your rear tire and all your lights, and then ride like no one can see you. Ride with in your limits Mike Stock Safety and Education Director 419-654-5446

MOTORCYCLE AWARENESS RALLY Columbus, Ohio Shanton Wilson, Thunder Roads Ohio Contributortor

s I rolled into A.D Farrow around 10am on May 2nd I was pretty excited to see what ABATE of Ohio Inc. (American Bikers Aimed Toward Education) was all about. I wanted to see who they were, what they did, and get a general idea of the role they played in the motorcycle community. For every minute that passed after I arrived, 10-20 bikes would come thundering down the entrance to A.D. Farrow. You could tell today was a day of large importance to the members of the community. Mostly due to the fact that every person on two wheels could not put their kickstand down, and even those in cars could not park fast enough before waving to someone they had never seen, or to another ABATE member. As the rally started to commence, they had a blessing of the bikes to the State House. Along with a small PHHWLQJ ZLWK WKH 3ROLFH 2I¿FHUV 0RWRUF\FOH 'LYLVLRQ of Columbus", who were responsible for shutting down Interstate 71 to Columbus from A.D. Farrow. Now, to give you an Idea of how large this ride was, and the importance to let the general public know their presence on the road, I’ll let the pictures speak IRU WKHPVHOYHV 7KH RI¿FHUV DW WKH HYHQW PHQWLRQHG they have only done this for the current and former SUHVLGHQWV RI WKH 8QLWHG 6WDWHV ZLWK RQO\ RI¿FHUV However, they did the entire ride that had 200+ bikes ZLWK RQO\ RI¿FHUV THUNDER THUNDER ROADS® ROADS® OHIO OHIO MAGAZINE MAGAZINE

During the ride, I had a chance to watch them pass underneath me on the Gemini Bridge at Polaris Fashion Mall. It was pretty awesome, to say the least, to watch everyone ride in staggered form, all the way to the State House without any major incident-with the help of Ohio's Finest. As we pulled up to the State House, we parked bar end to bar end on each side of the street down the entire block, and not an inch could be spared that didn’t have a bike on it. The sheer amount of people attending attracted so many others who had not shown up on two wheels. They were constantly stopping to ask what was going on. Yet, no matter who yelled, or asked a question, a member took the time to give them info as to who, what, and why. (Continued p.20)

This year marked the last Louie Run after a 32-year consecutive UXQ 7KLV ZDV WKH Âż UVW WLPH , ZDV DEOH WR attend, and I took many mental notes along the way. My day started with me hitting the road at 6:00 a.m. and after about a 4 hour ride I arrived at one of the many staging areas. 30 minutes later we were off to the Âż QDO GHVWLQDWLRQ ZKHUH WKH HYHQW ZDV EHLQJ held. On display were some memorabilia from past Louie Runs along with those who had been remembered in the past.

Since arriving home I have not been able to get the idea of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rememberâ&#x20AC;? off my mind.

You see it off in the immediate horizon, you are about to embark on the “new” world of civilian life after devotedly serving this great nation of ours. It is only anticipated that this instant generates high levels of stress. Thus, it is of utmost importance to understand and prepare for the emotional challenges that lie ahead in this conversion as you now become known as a “Veteran.” After 24 years of honorable service, I was faced with this quandary in 2011 and was acutely misplaced on how to traverse let alone reintegrate into this abyss known as “civilian world.” Most importantly, how do I figure out what my privileges are as a Veteran? How do I capitalize on them to the greatest capacity I can? Lastly, and most mystifying to most of us, where do I begin? This monthly column is intended to answer just these questions. The intention is to provide your roadmap of “guided valor” through your transition. We begin this monthly ride with what is our most important link to our Military Service … our DD Form 214.

o the day has finally come and you take off your uniform for the last time. You’re moving into a new dynamic of untouched “civilian life;” DD Form 214 in hand and need to figure out where to start. The DD214 shows your status as a separated or retired military member and the nature of your service including dates, awards and decorations and other important details. This is the single-most important document you will have that shows your past military service and will be the primary document that allows you to capitalize on all of your entitlements as a “Veteran.” In many cases you are required to have a DD214 to claim benefits post-retirement or separation. The GI Bill and VA home loan products are two examples—you cannot be approved for a VA home loan or the GI Bill without showing proof of service, which is the DD214 in the case of separated or retired service members. Scan and save electronically, make photocopies and lock away your original copies.

But wait … there are two versions of the DD Form 214, usually referred to simply as "short" (edited or deleted) copies and "long" (unedited or undeleted) copies. The edited or "short" copy omits a great deal of information, chiefly the characterization of service and reason for discharge, thus the unedited or undeleted copy is generally desired by employers. Service members receive two copies of the DD-214 when they are discharged - a short form and

THUNDER ROADS® OHIO MAGAZINE

a long form. The long form includes the narrative reason for discharge, the discharge characterization (Honorable, General, etc…), the three-letter or three-number discharge code corresponding to the reason for discharge, and a reenlistment code. This information is not included on the short form. Essentially, the DD214 long form specifies the person's reason for leaving and quality of service (the "grade" of discharge). When trying to attain any Veteran benefits; it is of utmost importance you have copies of the long-form as this shows your discharge characterization and varying characterizations drive levels of Veteran benefits. ROAD HAZZARD ALERT: As I was retiring from the military, one of the things mentioned was registering my DD214 with my local courthouse. Recording your discharge papers with your County Recorder ensures that they are readily available if your original copy is lost, damaged, or destroyed. However, after further discussion with the county, I was informed that my DD-214 will now become a public document and there is no legal way to prevent someone from looking at it and requesting a copy. THUS, I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF IDENTITY THEFT AND DID NOT REGISTER IT!! Each county is different and if you have already registered your DD Form 214 with your County Recorder, please take a moment to find out how ‘protected’ your information is. It is definitely worth the phone call to ask. Please keep this in mind as you determine whether or not to register your DD Form 214.

ell, time to pull off the road and fill up the tank … come back next month as we will talk about enrolling in the country’s largest and most comprehensive health care system; the VA Healthcare System. The programs and entitlements are abundant through the VA Healthcare System and don’t forget, you earned these privileges. Until then; ride safe, and always keep the doors of wisdom open . h^sD ŝƐ Ă ŶŽŶͲƉƌŽĨŝƚ ϱϬϭ;ĐͿ ;ϭϵͿ ŽƌŐĂŶŝǌĂƚŝŽŶ ĚƌŝǀĞŶ ƚŽ ƐŚŽǁ ƌĞƐƉĞĐƚ ĂŶĚ ƐƵƉƉŽƌƚ ĨŽƌ Ăůů sĞƚĞƌĂŶƐ ǁŚŽ ƐĞƌǀĞĚ ŚŽŶŽƌĂďůǇ͘ h^sD ŝƐ Ă ƉƌŽƵĚ ŵĞŵďĞƌ ŽĨ ƚŚĞ KŚŝŽ ŽŶĨĞĚĞƌĂƚŝŽŶ ŽĨ ůƵďƐ ; K Ϳ͘ KŚŝŽ K ŝƐ ƌŝĐŚ ŝŶ sĞƚĞƌĂŶ ƐƵƉƉŽƌƚ ŝŶŝƚŝĂƚŝǀĞƐ ĂŶĚ ĐĂŶ ĂƐƐŝƐƚ ǁŝƚŚ ĐƌŝƚŝĐĂů sĞƚĞƌĂŶ ŶĞĐĞƐƐŝƚŝĞƐ͘

OHIO’S MOTORCYCLE MAGAZINE

PRESENTED BY GEICO INSURANCE & THUNDER ROADS OHIO MAGAZINE Thunder Roads Ohio is proud to announce that this summer; we will once again be hosting the BUCKEYE THUNDER RUN - a state-wide, summer-long riding challenge hitting the coolest riding destinations and events across Ohio, presented by GEICO Insurance! This is a riding challenge like no-other and features great prizes every month that you earn by simply getting out to ride!

The Way it Works

ach month Thunder Roads Ohio will announce a list of Thunder Run Stops each month. These stops are selected based upon the recommendations of our readers and confirmed by our editors. ALL STOPS have been screened by our Editors and are places we feel comfortable recommending to you. We never simply add a stop because they are willing to write a check. Riders can then hit these locations and present their Rider Cards in order to register at each stop. Once a Rider has registered at the stop - their Card number is then entered into the drawing for that stop. Thunder Roads will then select rider checks-in’s randomly each month from across the state for special prizes and incentives. Extra “check-in’s” are awarded for ride stops more then 100 miles from home. Prizes are developed by both Thunder Roads and our sponsors - allowing for some exciting options. They may include stays at exciting locations, riding gear or accessories, gift certificates, cash, rally passes, concert tickets, and even the opportunity to win factory and custom motorcycles! The beauty and simplicity of this program is that anyone can win with any check-in, but your chances of winning are increased by the amount you ride! The dedicated

THUNDER ROADS® OHIO MAGAZINE

rider treking across the state has a greater chance of accumulating prizes - but the couple that can only get out a few days a month to ride can also win! Every check-in counts as an entry in the “drawing” - so if you hit 40 stops in a month, you have twice as many chances of winning as someone that only hits 20. The more you ride - the more opportunities you will have to win! That’s the whole idea - to encourage everyone to get out and ride!.

State and Stop Prizes

very month the TRO staff will randomly select winners from the check-ins. Some prizes will be specific to the particular stop - and usually sponsored by that stop. For instance, a leather shop may award a custom leather vest to someone visiting their store during the month of June. That would be a prize specific to that stop and only riders checking in at that location would be eligible for that prize. Other prizes will be state wide, with everyone checking in at any location eligible to win!

The Winners

f your check-in is drawn, Thunder Roads will post your card number both online and in the magazine. Riders will then have at least 45 days to “claim” their prizes. For state-wide prizes, winners will often have the opportunity to select from a number of prize options. For instance, a rider might have the option of winning an Ohio Bike Week® Rally Package that includes accommodations and extras for attending

THUNDERROADSOHIO.COM

OHIO’S MOTORCYCLE MAGAZINE

North Coast Thunder Rally. If that rider isn’t able to take advantage of that prize - they might opt for a Premium Leather Jacket instead. • Riders are able to win multiple prizes - based upon the drawing of their check-in’s. • Some prize drawings are specific to only check-in’s for the particular month - while others prizes are drawn from checkin’s season long. • ALL CHECK-IN’s remain in the system for end of the season prizes! • Riders are able to check-in once a week at a stop (Monday-Sunday), for a maximum of 4 check-in’s per month (not counting bonuses). In 2014, riders had the chance to win 4 different motorcycles, hundreds of VIP Passes and tickets to some of the most exciting motorcycle events in the state, and hundreds of other great prizes!

2015 WILL BE EVEN BIGGER with MORE PRIZES, MORE RIDERS, and EVEN MORE EVENTS!

BONUS Check-in´s!

he 2015 Buckeye Thunder Run is supported by our sponsors, so we want to encourage everyone to support them in turn. For that reason, we will issue a BONUS CHECK-IN to riders spending $10 or more at the stop. The bonus criteria may be adjusted at some stops to accommodate riders on particulars of that stop. Specifics of each stop will be listed each month in Thunder Roads as part of the Stop Listing.

It’s really that simple! 1. Get your Ohio Ride Card. 2. Get the list of stops each month from your Thunder Roads Magazine, the website (ThunderRoadsOhio.com), or facebook. 3. Ride out to these stops and show them your card. 4. And then you win cool prizes, including cold hard CASH! THUNDER ROADS® OHIO MAGAZINE

The first step will be for riders to register for their Thunder Roads Ohio Ride Cards. A number of select locations will serve as Registration Centers. Riders can easily register at these points – free of charge. They will then receive their Ride Cards.

You can request a Ride Card through our website!

ou can now go online and register for your Thunder Run Ride Card through our website – www. ThunderRoadsOhio.com. Simply head to the TRO Online Store and order your Ride Card. There is a $5 convenience fee for this option – but ALL PROCEEDS are applied to our Warrior Fund, sponsoring charitable motorcycle events and organizations across Ohio. PLEASE NOTE - You can still use your previous Ride Cards. All Ride Card registrations carry over, however you are welcome to pick up a new shiny one if you’d like. We have all new cards for 2015. Thunder Roads will also be registering riders for Ride Cards at specific events throughout the year as we distribute magazines. Key events, such as Ohio Bike Week or Bike Nights will have special booth for Ride Card registrations. In most cases, we will be offering special incentives both for those registering for the cards and those checking in with their previously issued cards at these stops. Thunder Roads will also be working with charities and various non-profit events to include them in the Run schedule as well. This will be an easy means of encouraging participation and attracting riders from outside the local communities. In many cases, we will have specific prize drawings for those at these events. The Ride Cards will allow participants to easily and safely check in at all stops. Some Thunder Roads Sponsors will also be offering discounts to readers that present the cards. Thunder Roads will be listing special discounts and offers in the magazine throughout the year as an added

THUNDERROADSOHIO.COM

OHIO’S MOTORCYCLE MAGAZINE

value to readers and means of encouraging our partners to offer these extra savings. PLEASE NOTE: Once you have received your OHIO RIDE CARD, you will not be asked to provide personal information or emails at any location for check-in. You simply enter your ride card number! One key aspect of the BTR is that we will be limiting the number of stops to a reasonable amount each month. We are NOT simply adding anyone willing to write a check. We will be considering stops recommended by our readers and editors, and we will only select those that offer a legitimate interest to riders – making them worth the ride to visit. We are not hosting the run as simply a means of supporting the magazine, but as a fun way to promote partners and cool destinations all across the state. This is not simply a “Chinese fire drill” or mad-dash across the state. This is a Ride program. It is meant to be a means for readers to discover new riding destinations and enjoy the ride there. In fact, we have designed the program to encourage folks to break out of their local routes and trek to the furthest corners of the state.

Just Get Out and RIDE!

ne of the really exciting aspects of the program is that the Buckeye Thunder Run can be modified and added to throughout the summer – if not the entire year. We will be adding and dropping stops each month. Readers will be able to nominate stops, we’ll investigate them, and if we agree that it’s a suitable stop – they’ll be invited to join the run. Some stops will only run a few months – and possibly not consecutive. A cool winery in Geneva might be a stop early in the season, and then we bring them back during the harvest season! We can also modify the run if it turns out that something just isn’t working. We want to keep things exciting for you – the readers and riders on the run. We’re bikers and it’s all about the ride. We want to help create fun experiences for you and share some cool spots in our state. And we want to discover new spots as well, which is why we are encouraging everyone to nominate their favorite riding destinations. Again this is not simply a sales tool for us or meant to subsidize the magazine! We have designed this run to entertain and challenge our readers – as well as promote our partners. As with the magazine itself, the Buckeye Thunder Run is presented through the support of our sponsors and partners all across the state. We have secured several key sponsorships already, but opportunities remain. If your business would like to get involved, this is a great way to promote yourself all across the state in a positive manner. Even if your organization is not a riding destination you might become a sponsor for the tremendous promotional value it offers through the constant media attention it will receive.

THUNDER ROADS® OHIO MAGAZINE

Obviously this will be a heavy focus within the magazine but we are also working with radio and other media outlets to help spread awareness of the run. Sponsors are able to tap into this network and enjoy great exposure. We also have a number of unique opportunities for branding - including being featured on contest motorcycles, jackets, shirts, and other opportunities. The exact number and nature of these options will be determined as details are finalized and as the promotion develops over the summer. Sponsors will ALWAYS have first priority in these placements. Sponsors will also have the opportunity to team up with Thunder Roads to help promote various charity events across the state. The Buckeye Thunder Run is a great vehicle to help promote non-profit events in communities all across the state. With the support of regional and state-wide sponsors – Thunder Roads can help promote these community events to a larger audience. Thunder Roads is involved in countless charitable events all across the state already – but with the support of our sponsors, we will be able to assist even more. Partners can assist in the sponsorship of specific events, areas of concern (such as breast cancer, child abuse, or animal shelters), or other specific areas. For more information on sponsorship, please email us at ThunderRoadsOhio@ gmail.com Of course one of the key components in this whole program, second only to the riders themselves, is the stops. The Thunder Roads team has spent a lot of time collecting nominations and researching stops for the Run; but there are undoubtedly plenty of more stops out there. If you have a venue or event that you would like to get involved in the run, please don’t hesitate to let us know about it. If it’s your place, we will get in touch shortly with more information on the run and what’s involved. If you are recommending a spot for someone else – we will reach out to them and let them know they have been nominated. If you can suggest a contact person, that can help expedite the process. You can send information to BuckeyeThunderRun@gmail.com As we mentioned, this is a dynamic event – intended to be tweaked and developed over time. If you have ideas, suggestions, or concerns – please don’t hesitate to let us know. You can email us at BuckeyeThunderRun@gmail.com

Daytona Bike Week 2015 As told by The Iron Cowboy This spring brought the 74th installment of what is billed as the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Largest Motorcycle Event Daytona Bike Week. While that may certainly be subject to debate, Daytona is unquestionably one of the most celebrated motorcycle events of the year world-wide. After record low temperatures and one of the worst winters in recent memory, Daytona Bike Week also represents a cure for cabin fever as much as anything to those of us in colder climates. Each of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big 3â&#x20AC;? historic rallies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sturgis, Daytona, and Laconia represent something different. Sturgis is a celebration of riding, spanning at least 3 states and hundreds of miles. Laconia is about old school traditions. Daytona â&#x20AC;&#x201C; well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about speed and blending tradition with cutting edge. 7UDGLWLRQDOO\ P\ Âż UVW VWRS LV DW WKH 'D\WRQD Speedway.

end up talking to a lot of folks and seeing whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new LQ WHUPV RI JHDU DQG ELNHV <RX FDQ Âż QG MXVW DERXW anything relating to motorcycles on display in the wide expanse surrounding the track. Virtually every major motorcycle manufacturer hosts demo rides from the Speedway, allowing enthusiasts to sample just about every modern motorcycle available in North America. A wide selection of vendors offer everything from helmets to leather, from insurance to motorized bicycles. All the big boys were out in force with plenty of toys. Harley had an incredible pavilion which certainly dominated the area. They had the entire line of bikes on display â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including plenty of â&#x20AC;&#x153;customâ&#x20AC;? machines and seldom seen editions.

demos running as well as some cool interactive displays that allowed for pictures to be taken of the new bikes. For those of you scoring at home, it also seemed the consensus was that the Indian pavilion had the sharpest looking staff – dressed in the same retro / pin-up style that we saw over the winter at the International Motorcycle Shows. Victory must have had the most exciting booth though, with several aggressive new bikes and a pair of talented riders putting a set of essentially stock Victory Gunners through the paces.

pedal easily. There were several models on display, starting with the basic Cruzer. It looks more like an old school board-track racer than a bicycle, but can easily be pedaled. It has a cool rugged look accented by a brushed stainless steel tank, billet aluminum, brass accents, and genuine wood fenders. It weighs 128 lbs. and sports a 49cc engine that will allow you to cover as much as 150 miles on a single tank of gas! MOTOPED also had a completely over the top BlackOps Edition Survival Bike on display. The Survival Bike included the following list of standard accessories: • A Lot of Knives • Lights All Over the Place • Super-Gnarly Hatchet • The Shovel you’ll inevitably need After Using Said Hatchet • Climbing Rope

Our next stop was Destination Daytona. Located right off I95 at the US 1 Exit, it is a commercial celebration of riding wrapped around Bruce Rossmeyer’s Harley-Davidson. The dealership itself is a monster, resembling an airport terminal more than your average Harley shop. Adjacent to the dealership is J&P Cycles and a wide selection of shops including Coastal Moto, Ultimate Seats, and one of our favorites – Asylum Tattoo! Just down the street from Destination along US 1, is the party strip featuring The Iron Horse, Beaver Bar, and Broken Spoke. These are the big dog party destinations, each offering a full range of entertainment from mechanical bulls to touring national performers. Flanking these are an assortment of random smaller bars, vendor lots, and campgrounds. A lot of the names seem familiar as the folks from Main Street lay claim to these expanses in order to take another crack at the wallets of rally riders. (Cont. p.54)

Daytona Bike Week 2015 (from p.53) The Iron Horse and Broken Spoke are world renown and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t to be missed. The Iron Horse with its multi-level decking and continuous line-up of entertainment is a sight to see for sure. Just down the street, the Broken Spoke boasts an incredible stage amongst the trees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; again, a sight to be seen. The Beaver Bar is a relative new-comer to the strip, but has already established itself as name to be reckoned with multiple locations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including a monster bar out in Sturgis. In Daytona they are known for $2 beers and a laid back, comfortable atmosphere.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to thank Cheyenne and TJ from the Thunder Roads Ohio crew for their assistance on the trip and countless photos. They are both great folks that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to work with.

Main Street Daytona is home to the infamous Boot Hill Saloon across from the cemetery. Beyond that, the monster party bars all seem interchangeable. Froggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Main Street Station, Dirty Harryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and the Full Moon Saloon all boast big stages, scantily clad bartenders, and non-stop craziness. Main Street itself is really the center of all the action, as a constant stream of motorcycles parade down the street. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rally was undeniably smaller than years SDVW DQG LW UHDOO\ Âż UVW KLW PH RQ 0DLQ 6WUHHW :KLOH normally cars are restricted to only early morningâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; this year it seemed as though they were always there. The police only limit the cars when things get really crowded. Thus it was a constant reminder of it being slower, each time you saw a car come down the street during the party hours. The consensus amongst riders seemed to be that most were saving up for the trip to Sturgis for the 75th Anniversary Bash being held there later this year. Optimistic FKDPEHU RIÂż FLDOV SRLQWHG RXW WKDW QH[W \HDU ZRXOG be their 75th, so maybe some were waiting for next year. Even with numbers down, it was still an incredible party. It might have even been a little more enjoyable! On an upbeat note, I read reports that there were no major issues reported by the Daytona Beach Police â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including no motorcyclist fatalities. Anytime you have hundreds of thousands of any group in an area, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bound to have some problems. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bikers or quilters, things just happen. The fact that everyone seemed to make it through safely is a blessing not to be ignored. See you on the road! The Iron Cowboy!

Chief Dark Horse

he design of the Indian Chief Dark Horse follows along the same styling course of Indianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lineup of Chief cruisers. That said, the Dark Horse is unique for a number of reasons. One is the prevalence of black surfaces on the bike, which is SUHGRPLQDQWO\ RI WKDW VKDGH DQG Âż QLVKHG LQ VHPL JORVV EODFN 7KH ELNH UHDOO\ LV EODFN IURP HQG WR HQG LQFOXGLQJ WKH ZKHHOV forks, handlebars, engine, bodywork.

Any part that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t black on the bike received splashes of chrome, creating that two-tone combination that speaks to the bikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stealthy and aggressive identity. The Chief Dark Horse also uses 16-inch Ape Hanger handlebars that makes it comfortable for riders to raise their riding position without putting any stress on their arms. At the back, the bike also accommodate a One-Up Luggage Rack, which can be directly bolted into the bike to take the place of the passenger seat. Not only does this make for a nice custom tool for the Chief Dark Horse, but it also provides a convenient space to stow needed some needed cargo. The Indian Chief Dark Horse looks as robust as any full-sized cruiser on the market. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty big deal, especially when you consider how Indian packaged the bike to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;unlike anything else currently available from Indian Motorcycle.â&#x20AC;?

hose are big words, but if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bike thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the task, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Chief Dark Horse. Indian has even dubbed it as a the lightest Chief ever, something the company accomplished by taking out the passenger pegs, the oil cooler, the analog fuel gauge, and the driving lights found on the Chief Classic. Helping itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cause is an elaborate suspension setup that features a 4.7-inch telescopic fork and 1.8-inch cartridge forks with dual rate springs. At the back, Indian used a single shock 3.7-inch mechanical preload to help keep the cruiser balanced and ready to go in all road conditions. Aiding in that cause are the bikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new wheels, which are made up of 16-inch cast wheels wrapped in Dunlop American Elite tires. As for the brakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s setup, Indian installed a GXDO Ă&#x20AC; RDWLQJ URWRU IURQW EUDNH ZLWK SLVWRQ FDOLSHU ZLWK DQ WL ORFNV DW WKH IURQW DQG D VLQJOH Ă&#x20AC; RDWLQJ URWRU ZLWK SLVWRQ caliper with anti-locks at the back.

Those arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t world-beating numbers, but it does represent a healthy dose of power for a full-sized cruiser. (Specs p.62)

The Redcoats Are coming! So much to write about, but first quick word to my haters. Yes you that have attempted to silence me through every weak feeble minded means available, you are the minority. This column, as has been stated over and over is Editorial in nature. I was born into an MC Family; I will most likely die in an MC Family. You can sugar coat the truth, pretend to be what you are clearly not, but I will always stand for the history, protocols and respect of those that have gone before us in this lifestyle. I will also continue to call you out as Posers, Liars, Disrespectful & Disrespected, for as long as I live. Another HUGE thank you to The Iron Cowboy and TRO magazine for standing by me. You see, that’s real Brotherhood, something you Poser Haters will never know. Now I must speak on WACO. So far the evidence hasn’t been all vetted. There have been little to no opportunity for anyone other than LE to speak publically on the subject who was there, bolstered by a blood thirsty, ratings craving media who seldom have any facts correct. I thoroughly believe that when this is exposed, it will be discovered that 160+ of the 170 arrested didn’t do a thing illegal. It will show that this is clearly a witch hunt by the Federal Government, in collusion with Texas LE to wage war against all MC bikers because of a few disruptive fools. Some facts are that “Wacko” LE asked that all American Citizens in Waco not ride their motorcycle in the days after. They even convinced a HD Dealership to close its doors. That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard of in a free country. This goes absolutely and directly against the Freedoms that this country stands for and was founded on. Imagine if the constables told everyone in Massachusetts that they couldn’t ride their horses in the 80

days after Paul Reveres ride. Wasn’t that exactly the point of Paul Reveres ride, to overthrow the oppressive government and their ridiculous mandates? What’s next, a guy in white van is accused of a crime, so they tell everyone they can’t drive white vehicles? Just completely and totally ridiculous and nothing more than a power trip! No one will ever convince me that LE didn’t murder American Citizens on that day. I assure you that not everyone shot, injured and killed by police actually harmed anyone, nor intended to harm anyone. There were many Motorcycle Clubs in attendance. This was a Bi-monthly meeting for Coalition of Clubs (C.O.C.) not a back alley rumble with “Gangs”. There were Motorcycle Ministries, many Veterans Clubs and other Charity Clubs in attendance that were all swooped up and categorized as the favorite Government Buzz Word.. “GANGS”. What did you think LE was going to say about everyone in attendance? From the first hours of the incident the LE talking heads were in front of the cameras making every attempt to

"WHEN FREEDOM IS OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WILL BE FREE."

bolster their public opinion. It’s like they knew they created a bloodbath and literally from the first interviews began trying “get ahead of this” in the public eye. I sincerely doubt, but hope there is a Federal investigation, by at least one uncorrupt non-self-serving Federal investigator that exposes this, and that those with blood on their hands be fully prosecuted, whether it was whoever started it as well as any LE Officer that fired on, injured or killed any American Citizen that there is no unequivocal proof that they actually committed a crime. If you have a CCW and legally carry a weapon, if you are in a public venue and someone starts shooting, you have the proven right to pull your OHIO’S MOTORCYCLE MAGAZINE

weapon and have it at your ready to defend your life. I believe in many of the cases of this day that is exactly what some of the victims did, and they were point blank shot and killed by adrenaline drunk cowboys with badges, who by the way at least 3 dozen were imbedded in the crowd at the ready to react to “any altercation” with violence and deadly force. Protect and serve? That’s a joke in this nation in this day and age. We are here to fine you, intimidate you, and when necessary, protect and serve you.. to Death. And if we don’t agree with you or your lifestyle, we’ll just arrest you and with our corrupt prosecutor buddies down at City Hall, charge you with ridiculous Federal laws designed for large segments of organized crime, but we’ll go ahead

THUNDER ROADS® OHIO MAGAZINE

and use the law at our convenience when we don’t like you, and kidnap you with a Million Dollar Ransom, although we at the time have no actual proof you’ve had any prior knowledge or intention of breaking any law. I know some of these clubs in attendance. I also know that Men & Women who had absolutely nothing to do with anything were held captive for hours after the incident, zip tied in LE Vehicles in the heat with no A/C or water. Some were actually vomiting due to heat exhaustion. Some weren’t charged. Some were actually driven

out of the city limits and dropped off, after having their mobile phones and motorcycles confiscated (Stolen), and at this time still don’t have them back, and remember, they still haven’t broken any law. You see, we know people who were there. Welcome to “Law Enforcement” in the new ‘Merica Sheeple. And you though the Redcoats were bad.. Thanks for all the Support by those that matter! Keep it Real!

Handguns are not ordinary tools that can just be tossed in a drawer like a wrench or a hammer.

loads and defense-grade loads. Practice grade ammunition costs less due to the use of simple bullet styles (fullmetal jacket, lead) and less-expensive components. Defense-grade ammunition costs more because of the sophisticated bullets (hollow points) and high grade components they contain. But how much should you buy? When I started collecting handguns, I couldn't afford to stock up on thousands of rounds. So I started by stocking enough for three or four trips to the practice range. The plan included 50 rounds of practice ammo and two or three reloads (about 20 rounds) of defense grade ammunition per trip. This evened out to keeping 200-rounds practice and 60 to 80 rounds of defense-grade ammunition on hand at home. As time goes on, ammunition can become a monthly budget item so that more can be stored away for a rainy day. Be sure to buy the right cartridges for your gun because ammunition usually can't be returned once it leaves the store.

BUCKEYE FIREARMS REPORT Can your CCW Gun â&#x20AC;&#x153;Surviveâ&#x20AC;?? Over my years of carrying and training people to carry handguns for serious purposes, I have noted some trends in how people decide "what gun" they want to have for concealed carry. The considerations for both regular CCW folks and off-duty LE are almost exactly the same, so I see little difference in requirements for what one should carry. Most people will choose a handgun that feels good in their hand, that they shoot well, or what that is small and easy to conceal, or some combination of these factors. One factor that I rarely see considered, unless one has already had a bad experience, is whether or not one's chosen handgun will be reliable under the conditions that it is going to be carried, or if it will survive those conditions. A given handgun may be reliable under certain conditions, but not when exposed to some of the conditions that they are placed under when carried concealed. Some case studies to illustrate my point: #1 Some of the 1911's reputation for reliability was based on guns carried in battle in Condition 3 (hammer down on an HPSW\ FKDPEHU LQ D Ă&#x20AC; DS KROVWHU The 1911 is legendary in many circles, and was used by the US military for two world wars along with numerous other military actions, in addition to be a staple of early police use of semi-auto pistols. However some authorities, such as retried SGM Kyle Lamb, along with several other special operations folks, have noted that the 1911 doesn't do well in austere environments and has serious reliability issues. How is this possible?

Carry mode appears to be the answer. In WWI and WWII, and for most of the history of the 1911, it was carried in FRQGLWLRQ LQ D Ă&#x20AC; DS KROVWHU ,Q PRGHUQ times, such as incidents noted in the GHEULHÂż QJ IRU WKH %ODFNKDZN 'RZQ Âż JKW the 1911 was carried by Delta operators LQ D WKLJK ULJ ZLWK QR SURWHFWLYH Ă&#x20AC; DS DQG in condition 1.

civilian or military, the pistol needs to be up to the task. All of the militaries on Earth have gone to some variation of a semi-auto service grade pistol, and one very real reason for this is that a modern service grade semi-auto pistol, such as the Glock 17, Sig 226, etc. are the most durable and reliable handguns ever built for use in austere conditions where they are subjected to abuse, dirt, dust and weather. There are a number of compact versions of these service grade pistols that make an excellent choice for CCW use, the Glock 19 and 26, the S&W M&P Compact and Shield, the Sig 229 and 239, are all examples of such pistols. If you are unable to make one of these pistols work, there are often other choices that can work for the carry mode chosen. If your chosen pistol cannot survive such conditions, then you may have to think about changing their mode of carry, to have more than one sample of their chosen handgun on hand for when one of them fails, or realize they will have no choice but to have a strenuous maintenance program to keep the handgun in working condition.

He went on, and after awhile he was going to cross the road. Once again the voice shouted: "Stop! Stand still! If you take one more step a car will run over you and you will die."
