
The Southern AZ Harley Riders MC 21st annual
Biker Rodeo took place the weekend of October 1618, 2015; once again at the Arena Bar, located at 250 S.
Prickly Pear Ave in Benson.
Friday’s activities included a Tattoo Contest and of
course browsing the vendors. There were more than 25
vendors, offering lots of biker gear, jewelry, toys, vitamins, knives, sun glasses, clothing, & flags. Plus there
was a swap meet. Food vendors brought BBQ, kettle
corn, and great Mexican food by Taco Peppe.
The Bike Show had about 40 entries in 15 classes.
Law Tigers was the major sponsor of the trophies.
The band ‘Pocket Change’ took to the stage for a
night of music & dancing.
CMA {Christian Motorcyclists Association} had
breakfast available in the camping area both mornings.
Saturday is the busiest day, with the Have-A-Clue
Ride taking off in the morning. As always, there are
checkpoints in Tombstone so riders can spend some time
at the Helldorado festivities. This year’s stops were at
Johnny Ringo’s & Dragoon Saloon in Tombstone, Sierra
Vista Harley-Davidson, Buddy’s Bar in Huachuca City,
& Mescal Bar & Grill in Benson before returning to the
Arena.
Back at the Arena, Saturday afternoon’s music was
presented by DJ Mata, who was spinning tunes & hosting karaoke.
There were Little Biker Games for the kids. About
12 kids participated in musical chairs, ring toss, pony
race, pickle spit, & hula hoop games.
For adults who chose to stay in camp, they could
trade their ‘Have a Clue’ ride card for a poker hand. All
cards were due in by 2:30 & the rodeo games began.
The Grownup Biker Games included the weenie
bite, slow race, shoot the hog, water race, keg push, &
barrel race. SuziQ described participation as “Good considering we had some rain and it was muddy.”
As the games wrapped up, the Charity Auction got
underway. There are always some great finds up for bid,
and all for a good cause.
Saturday night’s band was ‘Restless’. They have a
good playlist and it was a fun time.

CMA sponsored Biker Church on Sunday morning in
the camping area. Then it was time to start packing up for
the ride home.
The Southern AZ Harley Riders MC thanks their sponsors: Arena Bar, Budweiser, Dunn Insurance, Law Tigers,
SSVEC, Buddy’s Bar, Dragoon Saloon, Mescal Bar &
Grill, Sierra Vista Harley-Davidson, uptown 3 Theater,
MVP Awards, Kanmar Construction, Dadd’s Upholstery,
Olive Garden, Bianca Myers Photography, Morning Star
Café, Reb’s Café, Fast Tax, Farmers Insurance, Family
Vision Care, Chosin Cycles & Firearms, Clint’s Hair, Elgin Winery, Sun Canyon Jeweler, High Country Guns &
Ammo, All-Pro Pest Control, Barnett’s Towing, Rutherford Development, Spur Western Wear, and the Christian
Motorcyclist Association.
I learned from SuziQ that about 800 people came out
to ride, play, and party at the 2015 Rodeo.
The Southern Arizona Harley Riders MC supports numerous charities in their area through the monies raised
at this event. Those charities include Verhelst Recovery
House in Bisbee, High School Scholarships for college,
various Veterans charities, the Cancer Society ‘Relay for
Life’, Benson’s Food Pantry, and many more throughout
the year.
SAHR MC has been a positive member of the Southern AZ community since the club’s establishment in 1984.
It’s great to be able to support an organization that does so
much for their community, which in turn shines a brighter
light on the motorcycling community as a whole. Thank
you for your good works.
Why share this story now, you might be asking? Well,
that’s to give you an idea of how much fun YOU can have
about a month from now when YOU make your plans to
attend the 22nd annual Biker Rodeo, being held October
21-23 at the Arena Bar in Benson. $15/pp gets you in, a
place to camp, a ride card, and much more. This year’s
bands will be ‘Rowdy Johnson’ & ‘Pocket Change’. Gates
open Friday afternoon at noon. This is such a great group
of people and we’ve always had a fun time.
Thank you, SuziQ, SAHRMC Secretary/Treasurer, for
your help with this story.

MPP ~ United, Bikers Have the Power to Sway Elections
AZ Rider
Published on August 23rd, 2016

Motorcycle Profiling Project
http://www.motorcycleprofilingproject.com
8.6 Million Motorcyclists Vote.
Holding the Power To Sway Elections
As we approach national elections in November,
why is the opinion of the motorcycling community
so important? The answer is simple. Motorcyclists
represent a massive and powerful voting block with
the ability to sway national elections. The vast majority of this demographic are registered and active
voters. According to the National Motorcycle Profiling Survey 2015-16 (NMPS), 86% of motorcyclists have voted in a national election within the
last 10 years. The American Motorcycle Association estimates that there are 10,000,000 registered
motorcyclists in America. That means motorcyclists
comprise nearly 7% of the active voting population.
Many elections are decided by a smaller margin, including the 2012 presidential election. Elected officials would be wise to take note that issues of discrimination and profiling are among motorcyclists
greatest concerns.
86% of Motorcyclists (8.6 Million) Vote
The NMPS shows that the vast majority of motorcyclists are active voters and participate in US elections. According to Creative Research Systems, the
NMPS, with 5,000 participants, has a 99% reliability rating and a margin of error of 1.4%. There is a
99% chance that the survey results translate to the
entire target population with a 1.4% margin of error. 86% of 10,000,000 registered motorcyclists in
America is 8.6 million motorcyclists that are active
voters in the United States.
Motorcyclists Comprise 7% of Active Voters,
Enough To Sway Elections
According to The Center for the Study of the
American Electorate, 127,000,000 individuals voted in the national elections in 2012. Using the last
national election as a benchmark, 8.6 million voters
represents almost 7% of the active voting population. And 7% is large enough to impact the outcome
of many national elections.
Consider the last race for President. Obama
received about 5 million more votes than Romney.
Motorcyclists could cover that difference with 3.5
million votes to spare.
In addition to the presidential race, a total of 469
seats in the U.S. Congress (34 Senate seats and all
435 House seats) are up for election on November 8,
2016. A total of 1,210 (61.4%) of the country’s 1,972
state senate seats and 4,710 (87.0%) of the country’s
5,411 state house seats are up for a vote as well. Altogether, 5,920 (80.2%) of the country’s 7,383 state
legislative seats are up for election during the presidential election year.
Motorcyclists can have a dramatic impact on the
upcoming election. And elected officials can help secure the motorcycle vote by listening and responding
to the legislative demands of the community.
What Issues Do Motorcyclists Care About?
Aside from traditional issues like safety and helmet choice, the NMPS 2015-16 suggests that most
motorcyclists are very concerned with police accountability, discrimination and profiling. 50% of
motorcyclists surveyed have been unjustifiably
stopped while riding their motorcycles, which
translates to 5 million Americans.
Legislative demands being made by motorcycle
rights organizations echo these findings.
Many
states are following Washington and Maryland’s
lead, the only states with laws addressing the issue,
pursuing legislation at the state level. There is also
a national coalition of motorcycle organizations that
have secured sponsorship for H. Res. 831, which
calls for states to implement anti-motorcycle profiling laws. The Motorcycle Riders Foundation, in
cooperation with the MPP, the National Council of
Clubs, and the National Coalition of Motorcyclists
are all working together to secure protection for motorcyclists at the state and federal level.
Conclusions
If politicians realized the impact motorcyclists
had on elections in the U.S., then policies protecting
motorcyclists would materialize more rapidly. The
Center for the Study of the American Electorate says
only 57.5% of eligible voters turned out to vote in
2012. The 86% voter participation among motorcyclists is far higher than the general voting population.
Res. 831 provides an opportunity for elected officials to prove they embrace civil liberties for motorcyclists and potentially earn 7% of the active vote
in November. This election is also an opportunity
for motorcyclists to ensure that politicians hear that
one of our primary demands is legislation addressing the issue of motorcycle profiling.
They work for the people. Let’s make sure they
know what the people want.

From Military To Civilian – A Seamless Transition
When members of the Armed Forces of the United States finish at least one year
of their tour of deployment they need to enroll in the Veterans Administration
(VA) program to obtain any VA Health Benefits they may be entitled to receive.
Service members need to enroll PROMPTLY and do it NOW by
following these steps:
•
Obtain a copy of your service medical records prior to discharge.
Do not take any shortcuts when separating and do this immediately. Any idea
of hurrying to get home may cost you time and money should you require VA
Healthcare at any time in the future.
•
A veteran has two years, after separation, to apply for medical conditions
that are a result of their service in the military. After two years the process becomes more difficult.
•
If you require medical assistance from the VA after separation/discharge, bring with you a copy of your medical records, a copy of your DD214, and two forms of picture identification.
•
Any injury or illness incurred while serving on active duty as a regular,
reservist, or Federalized member of the National Guard needs to be noted in your
medical records.
•
Enroll in the VA IMMEDIATELY. Do Not Procrastinate!! Know
your rights and your responsibilities. If you are not sure, ASK-ASK-ASK-ASKASK!!! Ensure that your transition is smooth. Know what you need to do, and
DO IT!
•
Join a veterans service organization - American Legion, DAV, Rolling
Thunder®, VFW, AMVETS, Marine Corps League, Alliance of Marine Corps
Veterans, etc.
IT’S YOUR DUTY TO DO SO!
“WELCOME HOME, CONGRATULATIONS ON A JOB
WELL DONE, AND GOOD LUCK”

Editors Column ...
Hello AriZona Riders!
Hey ~ what a great way to celebrate our Anniversary! We’re so full of good
stuff to share with you that we have very little room here to expound.
We’ll start with a heartfelt WELCOME to our new advertiser Arizona Ideas,
LLC ~ maker of the EasyReach Holster Mount. It’s quite a clever & handy idea.
Check it out on page 8.
On the cover… 17 years & counting. We are proud to be the longest continuously operating biker publication in AriZona. Thank you to our readers, for following us over the years & to those of you who have shared your stories with us.
Our continued thanks go out to our Advertisers. Their support allows us to be
AriZona’s source for biker news, entertainment, and information. Please visit page
9 for a special presentation, as we want to share some information about each
of them. Eight of our current Advertisers have been with us for 10 years or more.
Notable are Chandler Custom Cycles; as Harold has been with us since we started
in 1999 and Law Tigers ~ which has been with us for more than 15 years.
Looks like we’ve got room for one more shout out … During our annual summer visit to Casa de Tush we picked up some sort of road hazard along Old Route
66 that damaged our oil filter; creating a leak and stopping all forward motion until
the problem got fixed. Thanks to White Mountain Performance in Show Low we
were able to get everything we needed for Bruce to get us back on the road.
Ride safely, choose wisely, & Keep Your Butts On Your Putts!

Accident Scene Management Class
‘A Crash Course For
The Motorcyclist’
Coming up on a wreck ~ motorcycle or otherwise, can be
daunting ~ even scary… especially for someone with no
training in what to do or NOT do. It
can be intimidating to think that you
might be in a situation where you are
the only person who can help a victim
until EMTs arrive. On the surface, we
all like to think we would instinctively
know what to do to help. But when the
shit hits the fan … Would you?
Wanting to help is good. Knowing how to help is better. That’s what
Trauma Mama, Registered Nurse Teresa McClelland, teaches in this daylong seminar. She is an ER Trauma
Nurse with 24+ years of experience.
She’s been teaching Accident Scene
Management for 10 years. She’s been
training Trauma Nurses and EMTs
for 17 years; including skills specific
to motorcycle accident scenes. She
is also the State Safety Officer for
ABATE of Arizona. She’s been riding for 33 years. She emphasizes that
it doesn’t matter how much riding
experience you have, something can
happen. She encourages everyone to
‘Dress For The Slide’; referencing the
riders we’ve all seen out there ... on
their bikes wearing shorts, sandals, &
nothing to protect them from the road.
The seminar we attended was the
Basic curriculum, held on Sunday August 14 at the Breyer Law Office in
Phoenix. Teresa’s teaching team included Assistant Instructor Ben Martinez and EMT Scott Runde, an ASM
Instructor Trainee.
Often, the first people to be
on the scene of a motorcycle
wreck are fellow motorcyclists. The first 5-30 minutes
after a crash are crucial; as
you wait for EMTs to arrive.
Having some idea ahead of
time of do’s and don’ts can
give the victim[s] a better
chance of survival plus give
you the confidence to do what
can be done.
The class was full, with 26
students. This is a good number to allow everyone the best
access to the material in the
given time.
There was a wide range of
ages. Some were representatives of
their riding organizations… who will
then take information back to share
with their larger groups. Others were
medical personnel, as part of their continuing education. Others were simply
individual riders who want to be prepared in case of an emergency. This
class teaches what is called ‘Bystander
Level Assistance’… techniques that
people without a medical background
can use.
As the flyer states, this is more
than just ‘First Aid’. You are learning
how to safely assist victims without
adding to any injuries they might have;
plus methods to ensure that rescuers
stay safe as well.
One of the first topics discussed
was a presentation by Mark Breyer
about the Good Samaritan Law. One
of the biggest reasons that people don’t
help at an accident scene is that they
are afraid they’ll get sued. He broke
the Law down by its elements to explain and disperse those concerns.
But this isn’t just a student – teacher lecture. There are hands-on exercises to go through. Each person gets the
opportunity to go through the exercises / topics being discussed.
I’m not afraid to admit, starting
off ~ the Hands-On exercises took me
through some emotional reactions…
The classroom setting can become a
real-life scenario in your mind. WHAT
IF…??? But that’s something you also
want to be mentally prepared for at a
true emergency.
A particular exercise that stood
out for me was whether I could move
someone out of danger if I had to. Being a shorter woman faced with mov-
AZ Rider
ing a larger man to safety, I was pretty
amazed to see that with Teresa’s guidance I was able to do so.
Other topics include securing the
accident scene, assessing possible injuries so you can share that information with the 911 operator, assess the
scene ~ determining whether or not to
move the injured, proper helmet removal ~ when & how to do it, rescue
breathing methods when spinal injury
is of concern, addressing external vs
internal bleeding, and more.
There is far too much information
offered in the class to go into specifics
here. Leave it to say that it is a long
& fulfilling day… one that everyone
should make the time to attend. This is
first-level training. Believe me, I know
that I don’t know everything I need to
know in an emergency. But this class
is the first important step toward being
more able to help if you find yourself
in such a situation.
Thanks go out to class sponsor
Breyer Law for the use of their space,
and for your informational presentation. They also provided water, coffee, donuts, bagels, and lunch. Breyer
Law is also a big sponsor of AMSAF
{AZ Motorcycle Safety & Awareness
Foundation}.

50th Wedding Anniversary Surprise
It seems like only yesterday when he followed
me home from school. He had a bike, a car and I
thought he had money!
Here we are 52 years after that fateful day celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary! We both had
a passion for motorcycles, which we had to put on
hold for a while, while raising our family. As soon as
we could we were back on two wheels. This time we
were both on our own bikes! Over the past 30 years
we have ridden side by side thousands of miles from
Canada to Arizona. We rode east as far as Sturgis
from Oregon 8 times. Each year we take at least 1-2
weeks just exploring new roads on our motorcycles.
Back in May I had some surgery that’s kept me
at home recovering for a while. The Doctor said I
will not be riding until mid-November. You never
miss something so much until someone says, “You
can’t do that for a while.”
When I saw Harry taking my motorcycle apart I
was getting a little worried that maybe I may not be
riding her again for a long time. He told me not to
worry he was just going to get the paint touched up
where it had rock chips from our road trips.
One sunny afternoon Harry came in the house
full of excitement. “Close your eyes and come with
me” he said. “I want to show you your 50th Anniversary present!” There glistening in the sunshine was
my “fun-size street glide” with a beautiful new paint
AZ Rider
job!
He told the painter I liked ghost flames and tribal
designs. This new paint job has smokey grey ghost
flames with wicked tribal from front to rear. Tornado
Sean is the painter in Yuma who brought my wishes
to life. My bike is a real beauty! I now look forward
to November to shine bright like a diamond on my
new ride!
For Harry’s anniversary gift I gave him another
25 years because I can’t wait to see what I get for
our 75th anniversary!
It will be Harry and Janice (The Braiding Lady)
forever!
True love begins in a moment, grows over time, and lasts for eternity.

The Cabin’s Biker Bash For PFH
The Cabin’s annual Biker Bash & Fundraiser took
place over the weekend of July 22-24, 2016. This year’s
beneficiary was Packages From Home. We were fortunate enough to be in the White Mountains during that
time, so we stopped in on Saturday to see what was going
on.
It was a sizeable turnout, with about 150-200 bikes.
There was a mix of organizations and independent riders.
About 10 vendor booths were set up; including Discount Biker Supply, WolfSkin Tattoo from Phoenix, and
Linda of Patch Works was stitching. You could pick up
jewelry, tees, leather goods, head wraps, knives, lights, &
more. The CMA {Christian Motorcyclists Association} had
a very thoughtful collection of giveaways at their booth…
travel-size sundries… soap, toothpaste, tissues, etc for
camping or motel needs. And of course the beneficiary,
Packages From Home, had an information booth. Among
other things, we learned that it currently costs $17 each to
ship these Packages. PFH Founder Kathleen Lewis was
there. She’s a very interesting and passionate person to
speak with.
Part of the weekend’s activities was a Saturday morning poker ride, organized by Two Gals Events. The Hearts
to Heroes in The Pines Poker Run was a self-paced, scenic loop that included Heber/Overgaard, Snowflake, and
Show Low. Riders signed in at the Wild Women Saloon in
Overgaard. Registration included a breakfast burrito bar.
Stops included The Ranch House in Snowflake and The
American Legion Post in Heber/Overgaard; with the last
stop at The Cabin for lunch, and the rest of the Biker Bash
activities.
According to Amy Aho [☺gotta use that last name
cuz she’s a newlywed ♥ ] from Two Gals, there were
about 125 participants. High hand winner of the Poker
Run was Dawnetta Williams. Her ace high straight earned
her $100. Michele McKitty’s ‘handful of junk’ garnered her
a $50 prize. Amy sends along thanks to the ride sponsors
… “All of our Stops, Chuck Franklin Law, and especially
the lovely Raynita the owner of The Cabin Bar & Grill!”
She added that, “The cooler temps and the friendly folks
of the North Country made for a lovely weekend!”
Billy Ray of B Ray Entertainment was the afternoon’s
dj. He did a good job of spinning the tunes and emcee’ing
the games.
CMA members organized the games in the back lot
at the Cabin. They had the Plank Ride, Slow Race, Ring
Toss, and Weenie Bite. There was good participation and
the spectators had fun watching & cheering them on.
The ‘Chance Auction’ offered a tableful of goods to
bid on with your tickets; including collectibles, adult beverages, a variety of gift certificates, and a most unique birdhouse. Raynita extended, “A big thanks to Basin Satellite
for the flat screen TV, Wild Woods for the Biker Bar Bird
House, NAPA for the car wash basket, True Value for the
Yeti Coozies, Mr. Earl’s Pizza Time for the Gift Certificate,
and everyone else who donated prizes for our Raffle!”
The 50/50 ended up at $446 to the winner. Congratulations are doubled to Mike… as he ALSO won the Friday
night 50/50 of $97! He’s quite the lucky fellow!
Music by ‘Thunder Horse Band ‘ carried the party on
into the night. They played both nights and did “an awesome job.”

We learned from Raynita that the donation to Packages from Home was about $3000. She noted that, “This
Rally was the most successful we’ve had in the last few
years.”
From the Packages From Home website
http://packagesfromhome.org/ “The mission of Packages
From Home is to send care and comfort packages to deployed American military heroes who are stationed in active duty theaters around the world, as well as to facilitate
activities that elevate morale of all veterans.”
The website includes a list of items to donate that
are most requested. Plus cash donations are always welcome, to cover the cost of shipping these Packages. The
Packages From Home organization does so much for so
many of our GIs and Veterans. Your donations make it
all possible. Donations can also be made via your Fry’s
grocery VIP card and at Amazon Smile.
We are so glad we could visit this event! It was a
great time filled with beautiful riding, laughter, fun, good
conversations, and knowing it was all for an excellent
cause. Riders we spoke with the next morning commented that they would be coming back next year. Sounds like
a good plan!
Bruce & Betsy

Sacred Grounds Rescue Ranch Raffle
Help Save These Abused and
Neglected Animals and maybe win
a Custom Harley Davidson
Sacred Grounds Rescue is a small 501c3 animal
rescue just outside of Wikieup, AZ. They take in
and care for abused and neglected animals such as
horses, goats, sheep, llamas, burros, mules, cattle,
and more. Once the animals are brought back to
health, they find them loving and caring homes.
But in January of this year it all came crashing down and the Rescue itself was at risk of being
closed.
Unlike the city, this area has no public water.
After 14 years of hauling all their water needs, they
lost their water source. ABC News 15’s Lauren
Vargas literally came to the Rescue, did a few video
clips, aired them on January 14th, and the donations
came rolling in. A miracle was happening in front
of everyone’s eyes. ABC’s viewers raised just over
$20,000, plenty of money for a 300 or even a 400
foot well. But Murphy’s Law, there was no water at
400 ft. In fact, they had to drill 788 feet. The good
news is, there is now plenty of water! But although
Brown Drilling, Kingman True Value, and Prosser
Pump Service gave the rescue very good rates, it
took up all the money they had. There is now water
to the surface, but not yet to the rescue and animals.
That’s where this drawing for the Custom Harley Davidson comes in. When it’s all done and 300
tickets are in the bowl, the Rescue will have enough
to both plumb the Rescue and to build the Special
Needs Kids the Rest Room Facility they deserve. To
get in on this you just have to make a $100 donation
to the Rescue. They will assign you a ticket. You can
get as many chances to win as you want.
The bike began as a 2002 Harley Davidson
Softail. It was built and featured in American Iron
magazine. It now is powered by a 121” TP Engineering engine with a Baker 5 speed RSD [right
side drive] tranny. It cost $43,000 to build and has
less than 5000 miles on it. For more specs, go to
gofundme.com/uftgducc and scroll down for the
SGRR story and a list of all the details on the bike
down to the tires.
The winning ticket will be drawn live, on the
air, during the morning show of 100.1 FM radio on
January 2nd 2017; or when all 300 tickets are sold,
whichever comes first.
Winner must be at least 21
years old. At the time of picking up the prize, winner will
have the choice of the Bike
or a Check for a cash prize of
$5,000.
Tickets are available in
several locations including
the radio station in Kingman
AZ. Or you can go online to
gofundme.com/uftgducc and
simply scroll down and read all
about it and more.
On a personal note, I will
pray for each and every one of
you that steps up to help this
Rescue and all its animals. The
Rescue is also always looking

for volunteers. For more information just call 928293-0322. Thank You and Keep the Faith.

Tell EPA to BAN Toxic Pesticide Atrazine
16
AZ Rider
Did You Know...?
 Atrazine is a dangerous endocrine-disrupting weed killer.
 More than 60 million pounds of it are sprayed on American crops each year - second only to Monsanto’s glyphosate [the active ingredient in Roundup].
 Europe recently banned Atrazine.
 It is banned in Switzerland ~ the country where the company Syngenta manufactures it!
 There are efforts underway to have atrazine banned in the USA and YOU can help.


From the Food Revolution Network… The U.S.
EPA recently released an official report voicing concerns over the many ecological risks of atrazine. A
2016 EPA report confirmed what some scientists
have been warning for years: the weed killer atrazine likely poses a risk to many animal species. Now
the EPA has opened up a comment period – between
now and October 4 – as it conducts a fresh review of
this dangerous pesticide.
Atrazine is so potent that male frogs exposed to
low levels of it can turn into female frogs - producing perfectly viable eggs. It’s been linked to breast
tumors, delayed puberty, and prostate inflammation
in animals, and to prostate cancer in people. Yet this
chemical is being widely-used on American corn
fields – and it’s regularly found to be contaminating
drinking water supplies.
Professor Tyrone Hayes, PhD at Berkeley’s Dept
of Integrative Biology, has done extensive research on


atrazine. From his website, www.atrazinelovers.com,
we learned that atrazine exposure is associated with
reduced fertility in humans. It inhibits production
of testosterone (the male sex hormone) and induces
estrogen production (the female sex hormone). Atrazine can travel as far as 600 miles from where it was
initially used. A 1/2MILLION pounds of atrazine fall
upon the USA via rain and snow EVERY year! Atrazine remains in the groundwater even when it is not
being applied to crops. It is persistent and slow to
dissipate. France’s farmers stopped using it 15 years
ago and there is still atrazine in their groundwater.
So it will take a generation at least before our environment would be free of atrazine, once its use is
banned.
This contamination of the waterways and
groundwater also negatively affect marine life; in
both ocean and freshwater environments. Contamination starts at the microscopic level to poison the

There is a LOT more about this, but hopefully by

be banned!
The Food Revolution Network is teaming up
with Environmental Working Group (EWG) to demand that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ban atrazine once and for all. It is time to get atrazine out of our water and our environment.

AZ Rider
Too Broke For Sturgis #25
ABATE of Arizona’s Too Broke For Sturgis
25th Anniversary took place at Mormon Lake Lodge
June 9-12, 2016. This adults-only weekend is the
only fundraiser for ABATE-AZ’s state operations &
activities… including publishing the MasterLink, &
supporting riders’ rights & education programs. You
can be sure your money is benefiting motorcycling
in AZ ~ all while having a GREAT time!
Our route out of the East Valley toward the
mountains takes us through the low desert. It’s such
a pretty route headed to Mormon Lake Lodge that
the enjoyment of this trip starts well before our arrival. As we gained altitude, just outside Strawberry,
we started smelling pine. Wonderful!
Once we arrived and got camp set up, it was all
about saying hello to friends, meeting new people,
scoping out the venue, & enjoying the beautiful
setting. Our friends TheresaAnn & Mark had the
HoggDoggs Campsite Café set up not too far away;
giving campers more than just a place to eat but also
somewhere to congregate & socialize. Great idea!
The first official activity was the Poker Walk
on Friday afternoon. It’s a great way to become familiar with Vendor Alley & check out the goods the
numerous booths offer. The stops were at Scoops
HD Deals, Toke Box, Renegade Classics Phoenix,
Discount Biker Supply, & Macanudo Cigars. Winners received $75 for high hand & $25 for low hand.
Vendors also included Law Tigers Bob, Grease
Slinger Cycles, Big Biker Babes, Packages From
Home, and WolfSkin Tattoo. There was a stitcher, a
patch maker, jewelry, bicycles, knives, 81 support,
tools, flags, collectibles, leather goods, & more.
Both days games were well contested & had
lots of participation. They were run by Don & Lisa
Withey, TV Bob, Gimpy, Jeremy, Jack Batty, Jean,
Clydeman, & Nolan. Thomas Bishop Automotive
created the trophies. ‘Navy’ Mike Rudd emceed.
Friday’s People Games included the Helmet
Toss. Men’s class was a particularly close contest.
Out of 26 entrants, it ended in the 4th round with
Jeff Schops prevailing. In the Women’s division, 19
gals stepped to the line & Karen Gregory took the
trophy with 3 buckets. The Plank Walk had 8 teams
start. Team 4 was the winner: Nathan Riddle, Kenny
& Shelby Jackson, & Brandy Jedrysek. Tug of War
is always a favorite. The best match of this day was
between the Wolfskin & Mixbreed MC teams. In the
Women’s class, Team Girl Power won: Dawn West,
Michelle Hill, Rhonda Wike, & Gynni Giebel. The
winning Men’s team was Wolfskin & MMCycles:
anchor Jubel Dean {RIP!} + Mr. GoodTimes, Mike
Lyon, & Postal. Pole in the Hole started out with 14
teams & was won by Kim Davies & Kristina Womboldt.
The Ms Too Broke For Sturgis Contest had
7 contestants. There were 3 judges. Each gal was
asked a series of questions. Only one contestant got
all the answers correct. Missi was crowned Ms Too

Broke 2016. Runner up was Dorothy. Congrats to
you both! Ms Too Broke receives a gift package with
items from each of the vendors & during her reign
travels to events promoting next year’s TBFS.
Friday evening’s Tattoo Contest always offers
some excellent ink to view. Charity was the coordinator. There were 31 contestants among the women
alone. Winners included Dorothy’s Most Realistic
image of her mother’s graduation photo & Amber’s
Best Full Color owl. Best Single Color was won by
Heather Atwood. Unfortunately, dark clouds bringing stormage were coming in strong about 7:30 & we
needed to batten down our camp. So we missed the
rest of the Contest. We found out that in the Men’s
class Jubel won Most Realistic & Jim Page won Best
Single Color. We didn’t catch who winner of Best
Color was. Congratulations to you all.
Wind & rain came in and the temp went down,
bringing ‘see your breath’ chill. We made our way
from camp to the Hogg Doggs Café, where a bunch
of people were sitting out the storm under their canopies. Back up at the arena, the band Skarlett Fever
& partiers were rockin’ as the storm rolled through.
Saturday morning dawned clear & beautiful.The
day would bring clouds, dark sky at times; but there
was no more rain for the rest of the weekend.
The Poker Run took riders up to Route 66; with
stops in Williams at Cruisers Route 66 Café & at
Roxies; + Grand Canyon HD on I-40 in Bellemont.
Our walk through camp provided the opportunity
to meet Tracy Marks, a rider from New Mexico. He
rode in on his ’79 Hardtail Shovel, Roadent. It was a
less-than-smooth trip, as his kicker broke along the
way. His brother Scott tracked down the right part
IN STOCK at Chandler Custom Cycles. PLUS when
he got there to pick it up Harold & Rick set him up
with the right TOOLS to get the repair done. Such an
AWESOME shop! Later that day Tracy would win
the Rat Bike trophy in the Bike Show.
The Bike Show offered more than ‘park it &
walk away’ viewing. Owners could tell the spectators
a bit about their bikes, start ‘em up, & show them off.
Comments were positive about this format; adding
to the day’s entertainment. Jim Silk, Tim Zemnick,
& Ron Davis ran the show. There was great participation, with 35 bikes in 8 categories. 171 votes
were cast. Congratulations to the winners: American
Custom = Mike Schneider, American Stock = Rhino,
British Custom = Rob Lavoi, Metric Custom = Ron
Newcomb, Rat = Tracy Marks, Trike = John DeBierd, Vintage = Mark Millon, Women’s = Melisa Robertson, and Best of Show = Tim Dezenstein.
After the Bike Show was the Muskrat Memorial Most Fantastic Moustache & Beard Contest,
sponsored by MonkeyButt Radio & TwoGals. To get
things started, Jubel introduced the event and offered
a toast to Muskrat’s Memory. The Longest Beard
measured 14” but I didn’t get the fellow’s name. Tim
won Best Mustache & Freestyle winner (Muskrat’s

19
category) was Mark.
The Bike Games got underway with the Slow
Race. 33 pilots showed their skill. Winner was
Wayne Slocum of High Country ABATE. 32 teams
lined up for the Joust. Only 2 couples [Rob & Krista,
Dee & Wayne} collected 6 of 6 rings to go to a 2nd
round tie-breaker. The win went to Rob & Krista. 23
teams were in round 1 of the Ball Drop. 3 rounds of
eliminations left 2 couples remaining, Read Riot Act
vs Rob & Krista. After 3 more rounds & 3 height
adjustments, they agreed to a tie. It was an excellent
showing! The Weenie Bite was next up. 18 couples
played. 4 couples got a piece of the weenie. Tamalyn
& Gunner aka Read Riot Act were the winners. Congratulations! This was the first time Ben & Trauma
Mama got to compete, as they are usually volunteering in the First Aid booth. Thanks to extra Volunteers
they could get away for a bit. Many hands make light
work☺ AND they got 2nd place! Very cool.
When the bike games ended it was time for
award announcements. ABATE-AZ President Jim
Butsback also recognized ABATE’s Officers. He reminded everyone that this is an entirely Volunteer
organization & extended thanks to the Too Broke
Committee & volunteers. Poker Run winners were
Lori Ann Gaunt’s High Hand with 4 Aces for the
$200 prize & Jerry Statler’s Low Hand for $50.
Then came the event that many look forward to,
the Wet T-Shirt Contest. It was sponsored by Discount Biker Supply & Big Biker Babes. 15 women
took to the stage. Rhino emceed & Nolan poured the
water. There were naturals & store-boughts, all ages
& sizes ~ pretty much something for most everyone
to enjoy the view. Cell phone cameras were held
high as the music played & the gals put themselves
out there for your votes. Winner was chosen by audience response. Congratulations to the winner, Misti!
The 50/50 drawing presented over $1800 to the
winner! What a way to wrap the weekend!
From there, the party carried on into the night
with music by the Rhythm Dragons. Music was
sponsored both nights by Chuck Franklin Law.
Sunday is always a little bitter-sweet. It’s sad to
see the weekend come to an end. CMA shared breakfast & coffee again [both mornings]; plus held a
Worship Service. This organization feeds the bodies
and the souls of the biker community ☺
From the organizers we learned there were 1350
sign-ins; including many non-ABATE members.
Most arrived by Friday; with some Saturday arrivals.
Well there you have it, another Too Broke in the
books. So much to share ~ Too little space☺But
this should show you that if you’ve never been you
REALLY need to check it out for yourself! If you
HAVE been before, you know what we mean {;o)
Mark your calendars for June 8-11, 2017 for
TBFS #26. We plan to be there & hope you will too.
