Kansas City's HarleyDavidson plant gets a new
seven-year union agreement.
Compiled by Diana Rowe
With more than 5 months to spare on
Monday, February 28th, Union workers at
Harley-Davidson's Kansas City plant approved
a new labor agreement that will help the company implement a new production system. The
new labor agreement is for seven years, beginning August 1 and replaces one that was set to
expire in July 2012, with implementation in
phases.
In the agreement, the Kansas City plant's 685
full-time hourly unionized employees but will
most likely be reduced to 540 positions.
However, 145 flexible positions (likely union
members) will most likely be added to cover
increased production or to fill in for other
employees on vacations and other absences.
Without an overhauled contract, the Kansas
City plant might have been relocated to York,
PA. Negotiators ironed out the agreement last
week, and it was approved by vote on
February 28. The agreement included necessary concessions to maintain work in K.C. -“BEST ON
similar to what Harley had already negotiated
at their Milwaukee and Tomahawk, WI plants.
The concessions at the Kansas City facility are
expected to provide $15 million in annual savings when fully implemented.
The 358,000-square-foot Harley plant near
Kansas City International Airport was built in
1998 and produces the Sportster, Dyna and
VRSC families of motorcycles.
FYI, Harley lost $46.8 million in the fourth
quarter last year but for all of 2010 posted a
profit of $146.5 million.

FEE-FREE NATIONAL PARKS ENTRANCE DAYS IN 2011
Bikers enjoying Gunnison National Park.
By Diana Rowe
Whether it's the Rocky Mountain National Park, just a scoot away, or a
major road trip to South Dakota Badlands National Park, your motorcycle
ride always gets better when you ride through a National Parks on a free day
at more than 100 national parks that usually charge entrance fees.
America's Best Idea - the national parks - gets even better with several feefree days at more than 100 national parks that usually charge entrance fees.*
Mark your calendar for these fee-free days in 2011:
• April 16-24 (National Park Week)
• June 21 (First day of summer)
• September 24 (Public Lands Day)
• November 11-13 (Veterans Day weekend)
* Fee-free waiver includes: entrance fees, commercial tour fees, and transportation entrance fees. Other fees such as reservation, camping, tours, concession and fees collected by third parties are not included unless stated otherwise.
Making the fun even more affordable, many national park concessioners
are joining the National Park Service in welcoming visitors with their own
special offers at http://www.parkpartners.org/Special-Offers-for-2011.html.

Here's a tip - many of your 394 national
parks NEVER charge an entrance fee. So start Planning Your Visit! Log on
to: http://www.nps.gov/pub_aff/plan_your_visit/index.htm
Colorado National Parks on the list are: Black Canyon of the Gunnison
National Park, Colorado National Monument, Dinosaur National
Monument, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Great Sand Dunes
NP & Preserve National Park, Hovenweep
National Monument, Mesa Verde National Park, and Rocky Mountain
National Park.
Now before you go getting your leathers in a bind, it isn't unusual for
Colorado to be blessed with a few more random days, nice enough to get on
the scoot and ride to - or at least near -- a National Park in March and April.
But hey, any day (fee-free or not) and any ride (scoot or cage) is a perfect time to
visit the National Parks.

Harley-Davidson Museum®
Announces Summer 2011
Special Exhibit
The new exhibit at Harley-Davidson Museum® Announces Summer 2011
Special Exhibit will celebrate the weirdest, wildest, and most unique items collected and housed in the Harley-Davidson Archives
According to a recent press release, Harley-Davidson Museum plans to dig deep
into its archives for this upcoming summer, June 11 through August 21, to showcase an array of treasures, from secret prototypes and fantastic folk art creations
to the "what were they thinking" contraptions.
Harley-Davidson has had plenty of years to collect these interesting items - 108
years to be exact! Visitors will see hundreds of items including one-of-a-kind
vehicles, clothing, artwork, photos, and some even more rare and weird collectibles.
So take some time to scoot on up to Wisconsin and dig deep into the HarleyDavidson Museum's archives this summer for the Collection X: Weird Wild
Wonders of the Harley-Davidson Museum.
Additional details about the exhibit and related special events will be made
available in the months leading up to the opening.
The Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a reflection of
American history and pop culture like you've never seen it before - through the
lens of a true American icon and brand. The Harley-Davidson Museum is located
at 400 West Canal Street and is open year-round. For more information on the
Museum's galleries, exhibits, special events, tickets, hours, and more, visit

The FlaunT Girls
You may have seen them live at the Full
Throttle Saloon during the Sturgis Rally or
True TV on "Michael Ballard's Full
Throttle Saloon" Reality Series, but do you
really know what the FLAUNT GIRLS are
truly about?
The Flaunt Girls are
a Spicy, Rock,
Burlesque-styled
dance troupe of talented women
trained in the
"Art of the
Tease." The Flaunt Team is a unique blend
of High Energy Dance mixed with a
Burlesque Twist. These professionally
trained dancers wow the crowd with
flaunt appeal, and their appeal is intensified with those sexy costumes they wear
on stage.
The Flaunt Girls perform all over the
United States, from Bike Shows to the Big
Rallies like Street Vibrations, Biketoberfest
and the Sturgis Rally at the Full Throttle
Saloon, the latter which made them famous.
They also have their own Flaunt Theater
Show where they perform a full burlesque
theater production. Fanny Shakesalot, Mia
BigTease, IvannaSpankyou, and the rest of the
Flaunt Girls perform to songs such as Big
Spender, Fever, Cell Block Tango and Pink
Panther.
Motorcycle Rider News had the opportunity
to speak with the founders of Flaunt, Breawna AKA;
Mia BigTease and Angie AKA; Fanny Shakesalot , who
had the following to say about Flaunt.
Their love of dance and performing led them to the idea of forming
Flaunt. Flaunt made their Sturgis debut in 2000 at the Grand Opening
of the World Famous Full Throttle Saloon, and have been a part of the
party every year since.

MRN: What is it that keeps Flaunt going?
What keeps us going is our love of dance and our fans. It is
Flauntastic! We love bikers! We are also all very close friends and have
been performing together for many years. Angie and I originally met in
3rd grade and ended up coaching in college together as well as many
years in professional cheerleading. Nichole and Gina have also been
with us for a long time and we really are a Flaunt Family.
MRN: Beside biker rallies where have you performed?
We have performed
everywhere we have had
the chance. We started
as professional cheerleaders and have
danced and performed at area
events and
concerts and even
a rodeo or two. Flaunt
started as a Burlesque
Theater Show in
Deadwood at the Saloon
10. We then took our show
to The Full Throttle. We
still perform the Theater
Show and do special
Christmas and New
Year's Eve performances
in the area.
MRN: Breawna,
what do you like to
do in your spare
time?
I spend time
with friends
and family. My son is everything to me.
He is six so there are soccer games and
birthday parties to go to. He is my priority when I'm not at work. With
the new season of FTS and my new business ventures, it has been a
very busy time with not a lot of spare moments to just kick back.
MRN: Angie ,we noted the long hours and hard work you put into
the FTS, and Flaunt. When the rally is
over, what do you do to relax and unwind?
We take about a week off have an end of
the Dance Season Party, and then two weeks
later are back on the road again headed to
Thunder in the Rockies in Loveland CO. We
look forward to seeing everyone at this year's
Thunder in the Rockies!
Both Angie and Breawn invited you to visit
their new website theflauntgirls.com.
Launched in November, there you will find,
updated blogs, Flaunt Merchandise, Flaunt TV
and the ladies can add a profile and their pictures so literally anyone can be a Flaunt Girl.
The Flaunt Girls are available for bookings
and are looking for new businesses to partner
with and promote. You can reach
BreawnaNylen or Angie Carlson by messaging them at [email protected]. They
would love to send you a media kit and give
you information on how they can "Flaunt"
your event.

A True Chilling Story - Someone Upstairs is Watching over Us Riders
By The Law Tigers
America's Injury Lawyers Who Ride
As a firm that specializes in motorcycle
injuries, we unfortunately see all types of catastrophic injuries including loss of limbs, traumatic head injuries and, of course, riders who
perish. We hear all types of tragic stories of
human suffering as well as stories of courage
and faith. The following story is a true story
that was told to the LawTigers by the parents
and their son, a young man who was seriously
injured in a motorcycle collision. Although the
LawTigers have changed the name of our
client to protect his real identity, we have not
embellished the story in any way or attempted
to make it more dramatic than it is. The
LawTigers were able to independently verify
some of the facts of this story.
Jeremy Dale was a 19 year old student from
Dallas, Texas attending an out of state college.
Jeremy had grown up around motorcycles and
spent most of his life riding. Both his mother
and father rode motorcycles and had done so
for years. Therefore, it was natural that when
Jeremy went to college, he brought his Harley-
6
MARCH 2011
Davidson Sportster with him.
A woman was talking on her cell phone, not
paying attention to her driving, and made a left
turn in front of Jeremy. Jeremy had no opportunity to stop or take evasive action to avoid
the car making the turn in front of him. As a
result, Jeremy violently collided with the rear
quarter panel of the adverse driver's vehicle.
At the point of impact, Jeremy was thrown
more than thirty feet off his motorcycle.
The laws of the state where Jeremy was
residing did not require that a motorcyclist
wear a helmet and Jeremy, unfortunately, was
not wearing one on this day. As Jeremy was
thrown from the motorcycle, he landed face
first onto the roadway. It was later determined
that Jeremy had sustained fractures to most of
the bones in his face.
As Jeremy lay in the roadway unable to
move, he was aware of his surroundings and
that he had sustained very serious injuries. As
with most head wounds, he was bleeding profusely from his head and face. Jeremy recalls
that as he lay there, he drifted in and out of
consciousness.
The first person to appear at the crash site
was a middle aged man who was wearing a
reverend's collar. He had seen the accident and
was a car length behind Jeremy at the time of
the collision. He ran to Jeremy who lay face
down in the roadway. He had a blanket and a
towel that he had removed from the trunk of
this car. He slowly and carefully turned
Jeremy over to survey the extent of his
injuries. The man realized immediately the
seriousness of Jeremy's injuries simply by
looking at Jeremy and the amount of blood
loss. Doctors would later say that there was no
remaining skeletal structure to Jeremy's face.
They described his face as a sack of broken
bones held together only by the skin of his
face.
The man wrapped Jeremy's head with the
towel. The man propped Jeremy up by placing
his arm around the back of Jeremy's neck. He
spoke quietly to Jeremy. Jeremy has a very
distinct recollection of what the man said to
him. The man said, "I am Reverend Lane
Smith of the 10th Street Bethany Church. You
are going to be just fine. You are God's child
and he will not abandon you in your hour of
need. I will sit here with you and pray with
you while we wait for the ambulance."
Jeremy remembers feeling little pain
although he realizes that he drifted in and out
of consciousness. He remembers each time he
regained consciousness looking up and seeing
Reverend Smith's face. At some point, he realized that the paramedics had arrived and they
were cutting his clothing off him. He recalls
Continues on next page
Continued
only then did Reverend Smith let go of him, although he remembers
him continuing to hold his hand and talking to him.
When the paramedics finally began to load Jeremy into the ambulance, he closed his eyes and laid his head back. Jeremy remembers
hearing the chilling words that the paramedics said to Reverend Smith,
"This one is not going to make it."
Jeremy related some time later that he wanted to scream out with all
of his being that he was still alive and he was fighting to stay that way.
He heard Reverend Smith say, "This boy is going to be just fine."
Jeremy closed his eyes and has no other recollection until he awoke in
the hospital the following day.
Jeremy's parents flew in from Dallas the next day. Over the course
of the next week it became apparent that indeed, Jeremy was going to
make it although he required several facial surgeries and extensive
dental work.
Once Jeremy was out of critical condition, he relayed the story of
his encounter with Reverend Smith. Indeed, when the LawTigers
obtained the ambulance records for Jeremy's case, it indicated that
when the paramedics arrived, "the patient was lying supine in the roadway supported by a motorist (clergy)."
After hearing from Jeremy how much support Reverend Smith had
been to their son, Jeremy's parents decided to visit Reverend Smith and
let him know how much his help had meant and that Jeremy was doing
fine. They went to see Reverend Smith at the 10th Street Bethany
church. Being new to town, they were having trouble locating the
church. Finally, they stopped in a church they found at 7th Street and
Bethany.
The Office was staffed by the proverbial "little old church lady".
Jeremy's parents told the woman that they were looking for Reverend
Lane Smith of the 10th Street Bethany church and that they were having trouble locating the church. Could she help them?
"May I ask what you want with Reverend Smith?" she asked.
Jeremy's parents said that "it was a personal matter" that they wanted
to see Reverend Smith about. The church lady looked puzzled and said,
"The 10th Street Bethany church has been gone from that corner for
years and Reverend Smith passed away over 15 years ago."

BAND REVIEW
Brian Hornbuckle
By Diana Rowe
It was one of those beautiful mid-summer afternoons with
just a hint of clouds, and a minute later, the thunder and then a
downpour - and a biker and his lady tried to wait it out. But
finally they just hopped on the bike to putt away. Then nothing
but a dead battery and a bunch of wet clothes. That's when I
met the very soaked Brian Hornbuckle up close and personal.
If you're a Denver area biker, you've stopped and listened to
Brian and his bands many times over the years. He's been playing since 1992 all around town, so yes, his music has caught
my attention too. How could it not when he plays all the
favorite tunes? Think Hendrix, Zeppelin, Black Crows, Jeff
Beck, Larry Graham, Peppers -- blues, rock 'n roll, all oldies
but goodies. You'll either kick back and listen or you'll not be
able to keep your feet from dancin'.
His song list reads like the iPod shuffle: Ain't no SunshineBill Withers; Josie- Steely Dan; Fool In The Rain- Led
Zeppelin (and lots of other Zeppelin classics); SmoothSantana; Sunday Morning- Maroon; Just a Little Bit- Van
Morrison; Shaky Ground- Temptations; Superstitious- Stevie
Wonder; Folsom Prison- Jonny Cash; Come Back Baby- Ray
Charles; Day tripper- Beatles - and that's only brushing the surface of their song list.
Brian is a confessed gear head, preferring to wrench on his
motorcycle himself, which I witnessed when his '96 Harley
Softail's battery took a dive. (And yes, he got 'er up and running no problem.)
Brian is also a dedicated musician. If he has a gig, not only
does he show up, but he shows up on time and early. He still
enjoys entertaining, and he's quite happy to play whether it's
cold or hot.
Brian Hornbuckle has that special talent to be as entertaining
with his one-man band antics and soulful voice, as he is when
he does gigs with the Brian Hornbuckle Band. The 4-piece
entertainment machine includes Guitar - Lead Vocals: Jonny
Vaughn, who he's played with off and on since 1988. He met
drummer Jimmy Yozell awhile back and even toured Brazil
with him. Brian's known his keyboard player Mark since Brian
was 3 years old. Mark toured the country with Brian's dad for a
band called Dreams.

Brief Bike Week History
The Daytona Beach Bike Week rally started as the Daytona
200 race on January 24, 1937. This first race was a 3.2 miles
(5.1 km) beach and pavement course. It was won by Ed Kretz
from California riding an Indian motorcycle with an average
speed of 73.34 mph (118.03 km/h).
This yearly race took a break from 1942 to 1947 due to
World War II. During the years off, an unofficial event was
still taking place commonly called Bike Week.
In 1947 the official race resumed and gained in popularity.
The event was then promoted by the late William France Sr.,
co-founder of NASCAR.

not have time to load your bike on a trailer or ship it to Daytona, but
you can make plans for next year's held March 2-11.
Alternatively, how about a fall road trip for Daytona's Biketoberfest,
October 13-16, 2011? 2012 dates for Biketoberfest are October 18-23
Daytona Bike Week (also called Daytona Beach Bike Week) is a
motorcycle event and rally held annually in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Approximately 500,000 people make their way to the rally area for the
10-day event. The festivities include motorcycle racing, concerts, parties, and street festivals. The event is usually held on the first full week
of March and contends with the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally as the most
popular motorcycle rally in the United States.
Just like Sturgis Daytona's streets rumbling with Hogs, especially
LAKEWOOD
Biketoberfest
In 1991, the Daytona Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau created a
second motorcycle festival event in October, named Biketoberfest.
Biketoberfest is usually scheduled for the weekend immediately following Columbus
Day, although
some participants arrive on
Columbus Day
weekend and
visit for the
entire week. Part
of the fun is a
twelve-mile ride
along a scenic
route, known as
the Ormond
Scenic Loop and
Trail. Daytona
International
Speedway also
sponsors some
motorcycle races to coincide with the dates of Biketoberfest.

RIDING BY THE STARS
By Mary O'Gara, Ph.D.
ARIES: Confidence soars this
month. Spend time riding with old
friends or road time to deepen a
romantic commitment. But take
time alone to nurture your own creative ideas, too. Ideas that will
change your life over the next few
years are showing up in your
dreams now.
TAURUS: Shake off the winter
and gather your friends for some
long rides. Or short rides followed
by good food and long conversations. Jot down your dreams and
take some time to revise your longterm goals. Shop for something
your really want-maybe a new bike
for summer road trips.
GEMINI: Gather your team at
work and push for changes now.
It's not your best month for
romance, so maybe a little solitary
riding and thinking will spark ideas
now that will earn you the raise or
promotion you've been wanting. Do
clear your desk to make room for new
responsibilities.
CANCER: Is your home looking a
little dowdy? Maybe some international shopping, at flea markets or
online, would spruce it up. Be cautious about guests at home you don't
know well. It's a good time for you
to go back to school-but ride over to
someone else's house for study
groups.
LEO: There's money on your mindand not just taxes. If you want more
money, it's time to go back to school,
keep up with the changes at work.
Clear your head with solitary rides
and fresh air, and positions yourself
for good news at work next summer.
VIRGO: Everyone, absolutely
everyone, wants you to go out and
play now. You shine at group eventsand with money a little easier, it's
time to do something spectacular to
make your bike look good, too. Still
worrying about money? Organize it
and you'll see the improvement.
LIBRA: Are you having a hard
time shaking off the winter? Join a
group and ride out. Even if you feel
depressed by all the work on your
desk at the moment, there's new
romance-or a deepening in your current relationship. Balance work and
play now even if you have to take
short rides with just one or two people.
SCORPIO: Is your romantic life a
little chaotic now? People come and
people go-or maybe you're just having
a hard time choosing. Even if you
feel a little grouchy, gathering a group
of friends and taking a series of short
rides will clear your mind. Give the
bike a thorough inspection and make
any safety repairs now.
SAGITTARIUS: Home remodeling and repairs don't mean you need
to be alone. Invite the gang over-but
do be prepared for bickering and stick
to people who like each other as
much as you like them. You can't do
everything you want to do right now,
but you are lucky in love this
month.
CAPRICORN: You're the one
going through deep changes.
Work's boring, but good for you
now. Above all, you need to get
out of the house, join some groups
and ride both for pleasure and for
the satisfaction of making a contribution to other people.
AQUARIUS: You're a little
moody at the start of the month-but
mostly you're in a mood for spending money. Avoid impulse shopping, but do consider upgrading
your bike because this is a year
you'll really enjoy social life with
other riders as well as quick,
refreshing rides by yourself.
PISCES: Your natural photography talents are coming out. Get on
the bike and take some pictures,
even if you just share groups rides
on Facebook and Twitter. Dreams
are important now, too, and may
lead you to a new creative profession.
