From
the
Editor
Valerie Smith
Editor-In-Chief/Publisher
[email protected]
Many of you know that I was on staff for almost 5 years at
Born to Ride TV & Magazine.
When I started my own TV Production company in July
2008, I asked Full Throttle, Go Far, and Biker Profile Magazines if I could be a contributing Photographer and Writer.
They all welcomed me with opened arms. They knew of my
qualifications and reputation in the Biker Community. When I
launched this magazine in July 2009 I publicly thanked all of
them for their support and encouragement. We have grown
faster than I could have ever imagined.
Many of the people on our staff come from other publications.
I also welcome them with opened arms and feel blessed that
they wanted to join our team. My only requirement is that
NOTES to the Editor...
they read and comply with our Mission Statement. Public
people or Media professionals all realize that we are ego
driven. We sometimes forget that YOU are the reason that
we do what we do! The shoes that we buy for needy children
or the electric bill we pay for a downed brother are the acts
that give us real value.
The economy has caused many people to tighten their belts
and purse strings. You don’t have to give big this year, but
give. Be there for support on the Toy Runs and Benefits. Remember that no matter how bad it is for you, there is always
someone who has it worse. The $10 toy you give may be the
only one a needy child gets. The food you donate may be
the highlight of a needy families Christmas Dinner. Ride safe
and let your heart lead you.
When my daughter was 10 I asked her what she wanted for
Christmas. Her reply was that she wanted money so that
she could get presents for other people. That’s when I realized that I had done a good job as a Mom! (Jessica, You
have made me proud of you all of your life. You are a blessing to me and although your Father has passed on, He is
proud of both of us. Merry Christmas and I love you and Rob
Unconditionally. Mom)
May you all be blessed by
the spirit of the season...
Happy holidays!
Valerie,
Hi! My name is Trish and I just finished reading your article in Rider
Now Magazine (November 2009 issue, Val’s View, “I Like the Back”).
Wow, what a good story and good for you! I know just by being a
woman and buying my first bike (2000 Wide Glide), I’ve encountered
some similar situations. I’ve had my bike a little over a year, and
have put 4,000 miles on him already, and hope to ride even more in
2010. I hope one of these days at one event or another I will be able
to meet you.
You’re an inspiration to all women riders...not only because of this
article, but in general. Keep it rockin’!
Take care, Trish
Editor Reply...
Thank you, Trish, for being so strong and independent. I
admire you for riding your own bike. Thank you, also, for
supporting those of us who have ridden but now choose to
be a passenger. Some women love roaring down the road
solo with their hair in the wind enjoying the solitude and
control of their own machine. Others enjoy the closeness
and one on one conversation with the rider as a passenger.
Giving up the control for the pleasure of the ride. It’s all
about the ride. Enjoy!
Valerie

Quartzsite Christmas
It was now
December,
and the rallies
were over
for the year.
I had left the
cold weather
behind, and I
would spend
the winter in
the desert in
Quartzsite,
Arizona.
National
Geographic
Magazine called it the world’s largest parking lot. In
the summer it’s a ghost town with temps up to 120
degrees, but in the winter over a million people pass
through Quartzsite. Why?
2,500 venders spread their wares on the desert floor.
Everything is for sale, and they have everything from
oriental rugs to swiss cheese, electronics, art work,
tiger skulls, gold panning equipment, and the most
interesting people I have ever met.
The Christmas parade is a slice of Americana you
don’t want to miss. Floats and clowns and sky divers
and women dressed like they just stepped out of “gun
smoke”. What a blast! Preacher Mike holds revival
meetings almost every night in a big tent on the edge
of town. Mike travels all over the country following the
bike rallies preaching the Gospel. You might have seen
him in Sturgis, on the north side, up on the hill. He has
a real burden for the bikers, because he is a biker.
Bob is a world class silversmith whom I met in the
Stagecoach restaurant one day and we became friends.
He asked me if I had met Sandy, the snake lady yet.
I said, no. He gave me directions to her RV about 12
miles south and down a dirt road and through a wash to
By Hank
where she spends the winter alone with her dog—and
snakes. Real ones and replicas she models of clay. They
are so life-like that if you stare at them for more than
a few seconds, you’ll swear they moved. Her work has
gone all over the world.
Fish & Wildlife agents came out one time and accused
her of killing rattlesnakes and then mounting them to
sell. After close examination, they were convinced they
were replicas, and bought several of them.
When I wasn’t camped in the desert, I would camp in
the B-10 campground in town. The “tent people” had
to stay way in the back away from the RV’s. They were
mostly homeless folks that moved with the seasons. I
had the best time with them telling war stories around
the camp fire. They didn’t have much, but they shared
with everyone. The campground put out a nice spread
for Christmas dinner—truly a great time. Enough said,
well almost—Ho, Ho, Ho!
Happy
Holiday’s To All!
I just wanted to take the time to Thank all the people who I have
ever met and known for being part of my life. You all mean the
world to me and my life is much richer because of friends like you.
Thank you for years of awesome times and memories that will
never fade. Thanks to all my advertisers who trusted me over the
years to do the best job I could to help their businesses grow.
I look forward to another spectacular year with all my Family & Friends and my Family
of advetisers.
Please watch over each other and take care of one another, we have one time at this
so make it the best ever.
Happy Holiday’s to all and the best wishes for the coming year!

Understanding Tire Compounds…
Your Life Depends on It!
Soft vs. hard.. Softer compounds give an edge in grip on the road, especially when the bike is leaned
over a lot. Harder compounds are designed to promote longer tread life and cooler running for the
long touring riding. Tire manufacturers want tires to get warm fast and stay at a specific operating
temp. but not to get too hot or the tire will wear at a very fast pace, or worse yet delaminate! Softer
compounds flex more, come up to temp. faster (grip better) , but run hotter. Vice-versa…harder
compounds flex less & run cooler. Typical street tires for your bike fall somewhere in between these
two standards, offering a blend that warms up faster than touring tires, but runs slightly hotter than
them too. Your riding style needs to play heavily in your tire choice. The right tire choice makes a
huge difference in everything from stopping distances to grip on the road. There are other factors
such as tread design, belt technology, chemical composition, profile design, filament size, speed
rating, & load rating that need to be considered also. Be sure to discuss all these issues before
deciding on which tire is right for you!.. Now Ride Safe!

Bikerscap First Flea Market/Swapmeet a HUGE Success!
by Lori Abruzzo
On October 24th, Bikerscap Inc. held their first flea market/
swapmeet to raise funds for our organization. It was a very hot
day, we had vendors of all sorts, food cooked by Nick, a bike wash,
and best of all we made a donation to a brother and sister, Ashley
and Craig. As always, we did it as a surprise to them, and they were
very surprised. A special “thank you” to Parti Patti who MC’d our
event, she did a great job! Thank you to all the staff at the Elbow
Bender for your support. Welcome to our newest staff member,
Jeff, he’s president of our Polk County Chapter.
On the 31st. Greg and I went to Gunstock to meet up with Valerie.
Wow! What a day that was! So exciting, and yes, very, very hot. But
the music was great, the vendors were great with all the incredible
food and merchandise. And since it was Halloween we saw people
dressed up. It was a very nice event, plus I was able to meet most
of the staff of Rider Now Magazine.
On November 8th, we had a Poker Run For Fun event. We had
lots of fun, food, raffles going on and it was real nice. Thank you to
all our stops along the way: Char-Pals Lounge, My Place Lounge,
BigFoot’s, Pegasus, and finally our ending destination–Picadilly’s.
They’re all located in Tampa. See you all at our next event! Check
the website for all events. www.bikerscap.org.

Once In A Lifetime
Once in a life time you experience something that you fell so
strongly about you just can’t let it go. I by complete accident heard
a band that I feel the world should hear. I had the pleasure of sitting
down and getting a little background of each of them.
The name of this band is “Valence Shell”. Yes that was my first question, Where did you get the name? Charlie the lead singer, told
me the valence shell is the outermost shell of and atom. It holds
the electron and neutrons together. This seemed very complicated
Linda
to me, but when I heard their music, it was something I had never
heard before. It unique and very entertaining. Mike plays keyboard and base, Johnny plays
lead guitar. They have been making music for thirty years. Both are from California, and have
opened for Edgar Winter. These men are so serious about what they do. Every thing is perfection. They met Charlie and were amazed at this young mans talent. Jay is the drummer
and he hails from Connecticut.
They have been influenced mostly by Pink Floyd. Dark Side of the Moon, is one of their favorite. They use sound effects with their music, and nothing they do should shock ,you only
amaze you.
Charlie got started singing Karaoke. He had been playing pool several night a week and did not even notice the
karaoke, until someone got up and sang a Ping Floyd song and butchered it. He said to himself, “I can do better
than that” , so he put his name in the hat and was hooked. He sang several nights a week and soon the guys
started skipping over his hame. The crowd loved him. So he decided they next time they heard him would be in
a band. He began auditioning and no one would hire him. He had no demos or anything to show what he could
do. He ran into Mike and Johnny and they needed a singer, so they gave him a chance. Mike knew at once this
young man was talented.
You really must get out and see this band. They are fantastic and you will leave the show thoroughly entertained.
By the way, when see them request “Barracuda” Yea Charlie can sing “Heart” like you wouldn’t believe and tell them
Rider Now sent you.
Have a great December and God Bless!

Biketoberfest or Babetoberfest?
You make the call. If you were in Daytona this year and had your
eyes even half open, you might have notice all the beautiful
babes all over the place! Everywhere me and Magic seemed to
have gone there were beautiful scantily clad women. Now I’m not
complainin’. I’m just sayin’ that there were so many of them that I
didn’t get a whole lot of pictures of bikes like I normally do. Except
when we headed down to Rossmeyers Harley Davidson for the
Rats’ Hole Show. Even there the ladies were just spectacular! It’s
been a few years since I actually stayed in Daytona for the entire
weekend but boy was I glad I did this year. We started out at
Willie’s Tropical Tattoo for his Ol’ Skool Chopper Show which is
always a good time. That should have been my sign of what the
weekend was goin’ to turn out
like. Normally I had done the
show then headed back to
the homestead but this year I
said what the uck, let’s cruise
around and see if anything has
changed. We headed up to
the White Eagle where there
is ALWAYS somethin’ good
goin’ on. This was always one
of my favorite places to hang during
Bikeweek and Biketoberfest. They do things here that used to
happen in Daytona back in the day. Me and Magic wanted to
thank the folks out at the Eagle for lettin’ us stay out back during
the event and we had a blast hangin with your great group of folks
and employees, they took good care of us!! We WILL be there for
Bikeweek, you can bet on that! As I was saying, we normally don’t
stay, we head out right after Willie’s but it seemed to be a different
atmosphere this year in Daytona. I felt a little more wanted
Word’s & Pics By Dice
( Not in the bad way) than in years past.
Do they really want us to come back?
Are they going to stop harrassing us?
Or is it that they NEED our money? Well
whatever the case, we felt a whole lot
better about it this year and it seemed
that less people were being hassled.
We had a great time out at Rossmeyers
Harley Davidson too, I had never been
there during a “Big” event and man was I overwhelmed! It was
like how it used to be back in the day on Main Street. It seems
that everything has moved out there?? That’s Ok but it’s ashamed
that it came down to that after all these years. Main Street was the
“HUB” and the bars like Dirty Harry’s and Froggy’s and Boot Hill
were the Staple. We still headed down to those waterin’ holes as
well, It’s still what Daytona and major events are all about. We also
hit the Cabbage patch which believe it or not, I had never been.
I know, I, know what the hell , how can you go to Daytona and
not go to the Cabbage Patch. It seemed I always wanted to go
but never got the opportunity. We were always busy elsewhere.
Not this year, we made it a point to go out that way and I’m *#$@
glad I did. I didn’t realize what I was missing! Some of THE most
beautiful ladies I have ever seen were there! *#$@! I will NOT miss
going out to this place again that’s for sure! They did have other
stuff out there as well but my eyes were full at the time so I
don’t remember much else. Sorry I’ll fill ya in next time I head
out there....... All in all it was a good Babetoberfest, Whoops, I
mean Biketoberfest. Whichever way you looked at it, as long as
you had a good time, Daytona and it’s Bike events WILL be THE
place to go.

Roscoe’s Chili Challenge 2009 - This Place Rocked! Words & Pics By DICE
That Rascully Rabbit Roscoe
was at it again this year with
one hell of a turnout. Friday
night was off the hook, I’d
never seen a Friday at Rocoes like this. Saturday was
no exception. People were
all over the place and havin’
the best time of their lives.
Roscoe kept everyone busy
with his usual activities
and POGO kept everyone
entertained from the stage. He has a knack
for gettin’beautiful ladies up on the stage
and when they do, their clothes seem to fall
off. Must be the stage I guess!!?? Anywho, what
an awesome time we had meetin’up with old
friends and meetin’new ones. It was great to see
Helen & Len again, who are gracious enough to
let us park out back behind their house for the
weekend along with a whole lot of others. It was
great seein’the guys from Tampa Bay Stitching
Company Out of Lakeland who were doin up some
kick ass shirts for the event this year. I met these folks
a few years back when they actually entered the Chili
cookoff and came in second with their“Big Game”
Chili.That was some excellent chili! Some of the
best I’ve ever had.These guys do some spectacular
work too with T’s, embroidering and such. If you
are in need of somethin’like that, give them a call @
1-863-8595266 or tampabaystitchco@
aol.com ...........Tell em Dice sent ya and
they’ll hook ya up.Thanks for the shirts
Guys!! Thanks goes out to the“Lords
Of Mayhem”.You guys Rock! We had a
great time with you guys at Roscoes
and it was great seein’ya in Daytona as
well! Lookin’forward to seein’you again
soon.........In the meantime stay away
from that“Shine”!
The usually Mini Bike Races, the Outhouse Drags, Horseshoe Tournanent,
Arm Wrestling and of course the Chili
Challenge kept everyone busy and entertained along with the antics of Pogo
and the ladies on stage.This years Chili
wasn’t too bad.There were all types of
Chili being cooked up and the samplin’
started. My favorites are the ones with
the most meat, gotta be thick otherwise
it’s called“Soup”.There were hot ta mild
ta thick ta thin but all were pretty *#$@ good.
32
They all had a great chance of winning this
years challenge which had a $1,000 purse.
(Does that mean they had to buy their own
new dress to go with the purse??) Though
the economy was in the _hitter this year,
people didn’t seem to care.They
were out here at Roscoes for a good
time and that’s exactly what they
did.This thing has been goin’on for
24 years and only seems to get
better with age, just like Roscoe
himself.This is still one of THE
best ol’skool parties, not just
in Florida but in the country!
Thanks goes out to Roscoe and
all his staff for being so *#$@ good to us! And to POGO, for all
you do, this Bud’s for you! Thanks for all your help and being
so accommodating to Rider Now Magazine. And of course
many Thanks goes out to all the folks who attened this thing
this year.Your the reason I go out to events like these.
YOU make them successful for being there and we
love havin’fun with ya and spendin’the time with ya!!
We’re looking forward to next year for sure and hope
to see all our old friends there and meetin’a whole lota
new ones!!

—Valerie
This is a heavy subject for such a light-hearted, happy
season, however, I feel that I need to share with you some
valuable lessons that I’ve learned through loss. I lost my
beloved father 2 years ago this past November 6th. It’s
a grief so harsh and deep, I can’t imagine that I will heal
from it, however, I’ve learned a great deal about myself,
my family, other people...and about grief.
This year, Friday, November 6th, the Second Annual
Ray Kitchens Memorial Pirate Treasure Benefit for
LifePath Hospice was held at the Lube. A month prior to
the event, every Lube bike night, I worked on a painting
entitled “Daddy’s Girl” (see photo inset). The painting
featured a Harley that I purchased because it reminded
me of my daddy’s favorite ‘58 Ford Fairlane. Black and
Red, with a gold pinstripe and white walls. If daddy had
bought a bike, it would certainly be this one. I sold raffle
tickets to give away this painting the night of the benefit.
We also had a Silent Auction featuring prizes from Suzy
King from The Friendly Fisherman-John’s Pass, Rider Now
Magazine (full page ad in RNM-won by Dowling Graphicsin this issue), Hood-zee.com, Mary Kay (Dia Preston),
BK Negotiate, Diamond Media Group, and many other
wonderful donors.Live music from Selective Memory,was
also donated by the Lube. The event was also sponsored
by Rider Now Magazine and Slick’s Scooter Schedule,
making it a HUGE success. This was my first opportunity
to work with RNM and see a publication that takes action
and truly makes a difference in the community.

This Holiday Season–let your love light shine! It’s the season of giving unselfishly, and
unconditionally. If someone needs a smile, give them one of yours. If you’re grieving
or have the holiday blues, pour your heart and soul into helping and doing good for
others. Volunteer. Hold a hand. Adopt a needy family, a U.S. Vet, or an elderly person
that has no family. Be there for someone. This year, instead of going to a mall to buy
Christmas gifts...attend Charity Event Silent Auctions and bid on items for gifts...this is a
Win-Win-Win! This is a Season of Giving.
My name is Sherrie St James and I now belong to The Rider Now Magazine Staff Family,
proudly serving as the new Art Director.

Road Rations
Another month of riding and events are down in the
books. I have had the privilege for the last 4 weeks
to ride over 500 miles with 2 hardcore, iron-butt,
biker women. My editor and publisher Valerie Smith
and her assistant Jade. Our adventures began at
Southside Choppers Biketoberfest Survival Party
where almost 2000 bikers showed up for this charity
event. The city even closed down 1st St. South for
6 hours. From there it was
south to Peggy’s Corral PEGGY’S CORRAL
for there Sunday biker get
together. Peggy’s did a little
remodeling in the back
and added a new tiki bar,
very nice. From there it was
north to The Rivers Edge

The
Special
Gift
By Bifer
Well, it's that time of year again. The time of year we do the toy runs and try to help those kids and families that
otherwise my not have a Christmas at all. I Don't know about you, but this is one of my favorite times of the year.
First we give thanks for our freedom and all that we have and then we to get celebrate the most important
birthday ever, (The Birth of Christ). There really are a lot of people out there in need right now. So many are out
of work and feeling hard times, but as we move closer to the holidays we all have a special opportunity to share
some hope with those who have none. That's the SPECIAL GIFT.
I personally have had the honor of being able to serve in some way at a toy run for many years. There is nothing
like helping out like that. I use to live in South Florida where we put on a toy run that averages almost 50,000 bikers in attendance. It's so huge you can hardly see how the needs are met. Up here not so big, but we get to watch
the kids and hear the stories directly. Awesome. Either way, we are really helping out. That's the SPECIAL GIFT.
When we go out and buy that special present for a child we may never meet, or touch the heart of a parent that
was worried about getting their children Christmas presents; That's the SPECIAL GIFT. Sometimes it's when we
help a family with a basket of food so they can enjoy the holiday or just stopping by or making a call to someone
you know who may be lonely. That's the SPECIAL GIFT.
I love getting out in the wind and riding my bike for the sole purpose of helping someone out. I know some of
us don't like riding in those large groups. But hey, the KIDS are worth it. Again, That's the SPECIAL GIFT.
By now you've either figured it out or you really want to know! What is that SPECIAL GIFT? It's caring about
others more then yourself. Some times it's not that easy to do, but we have a really great example. It says in the
Bible: For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not
perish but have everlasting life, (John 3:16). It can't get any better then that.
Remember that important birthday I mentioned earlier, well that's that SPECIAL GIFT. Christmas is about celebrating the Birth of Christ. The greatest gift we could ever be given. Do you know the reason for the season. Do
we celebrate it for the right reasons. The gifts we give and receive are reminders of the special gift GOD gave in
his SON. He gave the greatest gift ever when he allowed his son to sacrifice his life to pay for the mistakes we
have made, just so we could have a real relationship with the creator of the world. Have you accepted that great
free gift. The SPECIAL GIFT.
Merry Christmas to you and yours. Any questions contact me at Bifer4cma@gmail.

HARLEY-DAVIDSON OF CRYSTAL RIVER HELD THEIR
9TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
“The Dealership with a Heart”

As usual, there was a steady stream of Bikers and Bike
Enthusiasts who enjoyed 2 days of Live Music with the
Howlin’ Buzz Blues Band, Kathy Jo and The Bluzification
Band, Broken Silence and Generations. HDCR’s famous
Vendor Village was crankin’, along with a Dunk Tank,
Rock Wall, Bikini Bike Wash and the World Burnout Tour.
Many enjoyed chillin’ under the Big Tent with their BBQ
and beverage.
The dealership had a super sales week-end with many
Bikes, Motorclothes and Collectibles being sold. This was
also a great week-end for Big Brothers/Big Sisters, since
a portion of the week-end’s proceeds went to benefit
their Organization.
And once again, H-D
of Crystal River, you
prove that you are
a “big dealership”
with an even “bigger
heart!”
