Sisterhood of motorcycles: Women rev their engines at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally
RAPID CITY, South Dakota — In the midst of a mostly man’s world in Sturgis, a sisterhood of motorcycle-riders has slowly taken shape at the rally.
With bandanas around their heads and braids flowing in the wind, women are playing an increasingly prominent role in the annual rally. In fact, a 2013 survey by the city of Sturgis showed 44 percent of attendees were women.
“You always think of the beard, think of it as the hardened riders. It’s not like that,” said Jennifer Warner, 44, from Georgia.
While many still ride behind husbands and boyfriends in the passenger seat, a growing number of mothers, wives, girlfriends and grandmothers are grabbing their own gear to hit the road, the Rapid City Journal reported (http://bit.ly/1sERZyZ ).
“It’s a freedom thing. You are out there — kind of you against the world,” said Christine Paige Diers, executive director of the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum. “It’s your skills and your skills alone against the world that gets you where you need to be.”
Still, some of the old stereotypes remain, and some say they face a mix of skepticism and admiration while on the road.
Sometimes there is a sense of, “Can you handle it for a girl?” said Janina Spooner, 31, who is at this year’s rally with her husband from Kansas.
But more often, Spooner said, it is actually the men in their lives that push and encourage women to hop on a bike.
Yet, as they pass sign after sign on Interstate 90 on the road to Sturgis featuring scantily clothed women in bras holding beer cans, female bikers say they are ready to be just like the guys.
Coming to the rally gives them a sense of empowerment many say, an attitude of independence and a feeling that they can do what they want, dress how they want and ride bikes with the best of the men.
The industry is taking notice as 12 percent of all motorcyclists across the country today are now women, according to the Motorcycle Industry Council, with Harley-Davidson actively courting them as a customer base.
“If you look around the motorcycle world,” said Paige Diers. “Pretty much all the manufacturers are considering women riders.”
That includes marketing clothing and gear to women, she said.
The rally itself is actively courting female riders with an annual Biker Belle Ride from Deadwood to Sturgis planned Tuesday. Although cancelled with the day’s heavy rains, about 200 women still met at the Lodge in Deadwood for a symposium featuring a motivational speaker and an empowerment panel, also offered The Comfort Zone by Team Diva, where women riders could get safety tips, sample beauty products, new fashions and specialized ride gear.
Having a community to encourage each other means they don’t feel like they need to be tough in order to fit in.
“When you ride with other women, it’s different than riding with your husband or their friends,” said Becky Brown, president of the motorcycle club called Women in the Wind. “When it’s the girls.we talk about kids, family, jobs, men.”
Historically, the door wasn’t quite always as open to women on the road. Paige Diers has found historical documents showing that the male founders of the motorcycle club Jackpine Gypsies had their own ideas for how the ladies would help them get ready for the early rallies.
“They would say, ‘We’ll have the gals make sandwiches,’” she said.
That role is gradually evolving as more women put the throttle in their own hands.
“We still have a ways to go as far as I’m concerned,” Paige Diers added. “It’s just a matter of empowering more women to understand that they can be riders and they can be involved in the motorcycle world.”
That means making one’s own way through the ever-available whiskey, beer and objectified imagery. Paige Diers said though she could not speak for all women, it has to be expected at Sturgis.
“I think pretty much any woman that rides knows that she’s in a man’s world still,” she said. “When I see a (beer ad), I just kind of roll my eyes and see the audience is mostly men. It’s not my favorite part of the culture, but it is what it is.”

Sacramento-area members of motorcycle gang charged with drug trafficking
Several Sacramento-area residents, described by federal authorities as members and associates of an outlaw motorcycle gang, have been indicted on drug-trafficking charges.
Four indictments issued Thursday involve the Vagos, identified in a federal Department of Justice news release as an outlaw motorcycle gang. The first indictment charges James Cline, 43, of Rio Linda, and Leonard Walter, 37, and Michael Wright, 45, both of Sacramento, with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and distribution of methamphetamine. Three separate indictments charge Sacramento residents Richard Cardenas, 49, Quentin Stallings, 35, and David Homan, 50, with distribution of methamphetamine.
Cline, Walter, Wright and Cardenas were each ordered detained during earlier court hearings. Authorities said Stallings and Homan are considered fugitives.
According to court documents, the investigation targeted three Sacramento-area chapters of the Vagos. The motorcycle club began in the late 1960s in California and has evolved into one of the largest outlaw motorcycle gangs in the western United States, according to the Department of Justice. The organization reportedly has nearly 600 members in 24 chapters in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon and Utah. It also has chapters in Mexico.
Authorities said the club has an organized hierarchy that includes a national president, vice president, sergeant at arms, secretary and treasurer. The chapters report to the national leadership and have required meetings and events, and monthly dues.
Authorities said the investigation confirmed that the Sacramento-area Vagos are involved in illegal activities. Such activities include distributing methamphetamine, purchasing illegal weapons and handling stolen motorcycles. During the investigation, the FBI used confidential sources and undercover agents to purchase methamphetamine from Vagos members and their associates in the Sacramento area. Authorities said the FBI is still investigating.
The case resulted from an investigation by the FBI, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the Sacramento and West Sacramento police departments, and the Placer County Sheriff’s Office.

Wisconsin politicians on motorcycles, part 2
Earlier this week, a new ad from one of Wisconsin’s three Democratic candidates for attorney general inspired a look at the bipartisan tradition of politicians on motorcycles.
Given the popularity of the campaign trope, it was inevitable some great moments in motorcycle campaigning would be left out. But I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the two that were brought to my attention after the post was published.
University of Wisconsin-Madison student journalist Polo Rocha pointed out that the round-up failed to include one of Gov. Scott Walker’s most visible motorcycle moments: his portrait for the 2014 edition of TIME’s most influential people.
Accompanying a piece penned by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is a photo of Walker seated sideways on a Harley-Davidson parked in front of the state Capitol — arms crossed as he gazes off into the distance.
And Jefferson County District Attorney Susan Happ isn’t the only attorney general candidate who rides a Harley, although she’s the only one to do so in an ad — so far.
“I wanted to make sure you are aware that in addition to Brad’s more than two decades of riding, he also served seven years as a road captain with the Kettle Moraine Chapter of the Harley Owners’ Group,” wrote Johnny Koremenos, campaign spokesman for Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel, in an email.
Schimel, a Republican, faces no primary opponent. Happ is Rep. Jon Richards and Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne for the Democratic nomination.
Maybe if she wins, she and Schimel can compete in a motorcycle rodeo for victory.

Two die in motorcycle crash on Ill. 64
Two men were killed and a woman critically injured Aug. 3 when two motorcycles collided on Ill. 64 east of Mt. Morris.
Richard Zimmerman, 67, Lanark, and Michael Gonzalez, 50, Chicago, were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash in the 3,000 block of West Ill. 64 less than a mile east of Mt. Morris, Ogle County Sheriff’s Police said in a press release.
Rosarita Gonzalez, 52, Chicago, a passenger, was transported by Life Flight helicopter to St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, where she remained in critical condition Tuesday afternoon.
A portion of Ill. 64 was closed for more than two hours due to the crash.
Police said Zimmerman, a former Oregon and Mt. Morris resident, was driving a 1992 Harley Davidson eastbound in his lane when a westbound 2009 Kawasaki, driven by Gonzalez, attempted to pass other westbound traffic and pulled into the eastbound lane of travel.
Gonzalez’s motorcycle collided nearly head-on with Zimmerman’s motorcycle in the eastbound lane of travel. The crash occurred at 11 a.m.
After the impact, Zimmerman and his motorcycle skidded into the ditch embankment on the south side of the roadway. Gonzalez and his motorcycle continued westbound on the roadway for several hundred feet before entering the ditch embankment on the north side of the roadway.
The Gonzalezes were apparently riding with a group of at least 30 other motorcycles.
Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn said he did not know if Gonzalez was attempting to pass another motorcycle or some other vehicle.
The accident remains under investigation.
A spokeswoman for the sheriff’s department said it could be several months before the crash report would be completed.
Sheriff’s police were assisted by Mt. Morris Fire Department and Emergency Medical Service, the Oregon Fire Department, the Mt. Morris and Oregon Police Departments, and the Ogle County Coroner.

Spiffy Clean with Auto Outlining
The practice of detailed cleaning, shaving and cleansing of an automobile in both the inside and exterior sides in order to make a fixed high quality detail level is called as auto outlining. It can be engaged in as a form of individual choice and satisfaction or could also be gotten ready for stylish automobiles which showcase that look of every automobile. Different elements of auto outlining consist of shaving, polishing and claying.
When it involves interior detailing, it often entails overall cleaning of the auto’s interior making use of brushers, vacuums and liquid cleaners. Describing of engine entails the cleansing of the engine location from grease and dirt utilizing versatile cleaning services and degreasers.
Detailing and its Processes
There is truly no particular standard when it pertains to describing yet exactly what is sure is that it is considered as even more comprehensive than simply washing because of the various attributes that it sets out for an auto proprietor. Detailing frequently involves a bunch of steps greater than washing. The main objective of specifying is mainly centered on the security and improvement of the auto.
Not only that, some are also concentrated on small services like paint repair services and restoration of surface and also full cleaning in places of one’s automobile that is generally dismissed just by average cleaning like the underchassis, tires, engine, trim and wheels.
The series of detailing the exterior of the auto paint is from wash, completely dry, brightening, glazing, sealer and waxing. Application of glaze is based on the person’s inclination which is totally optional and also with the application of both wax and sealant. The crucial thing is, cleaning is kept at an acceptable standing. Hair shampoos, degreasers, polishes, protectants, waxes, cleaners and lubricants are established via time to fit different needs of experts and consumers.
Detailing could either be a specific routine or solution. Brightening has different functions like eliminating swirls, water deposits, scrapes, oxidation and other paint flaws. Whereas clay bars are used to take out any kind of kind of contamination that could harm the car, polishing can remove blemishes on the auto’s area. Usually, polishing is taken into consideration as the most time consuming part of exterior detailing.
Generally, there are two groups of gloss: unpleasant or chemical. Unpleasant polishes can remove a much smaller part of the vehicle’s clearcoart. Unpleasant polishes can be identified based on the item’s unpleasant properties. Rubbing Substance is considered as the scrape that can eliminate swirls, greatly made scratches, and oxidation as well. It can be regarded as a refined piece of sandpaper. The lower abrasion is known as finishing polish which is made use of to get rid of fine scrapes and lighter swirls and oxidations. It is likewise made use of for the removal of haze that lead to the application of an unpleasant polish that has even more unpleasant contents.
Sealers and Waxing Purposes
Polymer and sealers synthetically made are based which give even more resilience than the carnauba wax. These are liquefied which are used in type which resembles liquefied wax. Polishing can additionally enhance the depth and gloss of paint and also give a much shorter yet long lasting security. Wax can be available in countless types like paste, liquid and cream. Waxes may contain carnauba that contains huge amounts of fatty acids.
These fatty acids make a strong layer between the outdoors and the paint which, on the other hand, safeguards the vehicle and gives it a lustrous surface. Waxes which are synthetic mix higher quantities of ultraviolet rays and less quantities of cleaning services which are concerned to as inhibitors to develop the identical protective layer that the carnauba does.

Glimpse of History: Two wheels bring two generations together in Linden
LINDEN — John Mellor, left, and Carl Vanderwall, who stopped for this photo on Hussa Street in Linden in 1908, are ready to hit the road.
The Linden Historical Society noted that Mellor became the plumbing inspector for the borough not long after this photo was taken; Vanderwall would later become the Linden postmaster.
At the time of this photo, Indian and Harley-Davidson motorcycles dominated the American motorcycle market. The Indian Motorcycle Manufacturing Co. was founded by two former bicycle racers, George Hendee and Oscar Hedstrom, in 1901, and reached a manufacturing peak in 1913, producing 32,000 vehicles.
William Harley and his childhood friend Arthur Davidson began designing motorcycles in 1901 and began selling their bikes in 1905; by 1914, they had produced more than 16,000 machines and would soon overtake Indian as the largest U.S. manufacturer.

Auto-lovers get revved up at car show
JOUNIEH, Lebanon: A 1991 3 Series BMW with 760 horsepower sped up toward the end of an obstacle course at Platea theater, drifting around small cones, too close for comfort as it reached the stadium’s barred enclosure. People cheered as it wove through the track, smartphones raised high to record all the action.
The loud and revved up drift show was the highlight of the weekend with the Hankook racing team taking turns to show off their drifting skills. Loud bangs of exhaust resounded like gunshots and echoed beyond the showroom across Jounieh’s hills alongside the residual smell of burnt tires and car fumes.
The Lebanon Motorsport and Tuning Show 2014 showcased Lebanon’s sports cars and motorcycles over the weekend at Platea Jounieh. The annual event and the biggest motor showcase in Lebanon was divided into indoor and outdoor sections highlighting supercars, motorcycles, tuned cars, American muscle cars and 4x4s.
In an outdoor competition area, car fanatics and professional racers vied for titles like strongest car, best remote controlled drift car and best sound system, while others took part in burnout wars and drift shows.
One participant in the car show, Shadi Raad, marketing manager of Raad Auto Tuning, said he wanted to showcase the cars he has been working on for more than five years.
Raad’s duties include importing special car parts to Lebanon and creating custom designs for a variety of vehicles ranging from a 1967 Mustang to a Ferrari 458 Italia.
“We implement our ideas that we design,” he said. “Our cars are a bit different than the cars you see on the streets.”
Over a weekend rife with tension and clashes in the north and east, the car show saw displays of subtle activism. “Imagine all the people living life in peace” was a quote scrolled across a car, punctuated by a small Lebanese flag decal.
Raad said this company slogan reflected his own effort to remain uninvolved in politics.
“We just want to play with cars and race,” he said.
Another car enthusiast, Pascal Maalouf of Maalouf Overhaul and Outstanding Design, also known as Mood Customs, has grown up loving cars.
“It’s in the blood. It’s a family business, since 1980,” he said. “I grew up in the garage.”
Maalouf’s personal favorite vehicles are American muscle cars, as he currently has six Trans Ams.
Although Mood Customs customizes many differently styled cars, Maalouf decided to showcase a more economically viable vehicle, the Mitsubishi Mirage.
Alongside the Mitsubishi, flashier cars filled the area, like a 2007 Porsche Cayman and a Mercedes SL AMG customized into a Batmobile.
As people walked from car to car, debating which to vote for as “best car,” the drift show continued outside.
The adrenaline of driving powerful cars obviously spread across the audience, as a man who left the area did so in a memorable fashion, by drifting his muscle car in Platea’s parking lot.
It seems no one, not even the event’s commentator, can really describe a person’s love for vehicles. “The smell, the sight, the sound!” said the commentator, raising her voice over the loud engine’s roar and screeching tires. “I can’t explain it!”
