Space Coast Harley Parties
Like It’s 1980!
by
The folks at Space Coast Harley strive to bring great music to the
dealership and it seems like almost every weekend they have something
going on! I traveled down to Palm Bay in August for their 1980’s tribute.
The bikini bike wash girls had bikes lined up and the music filled the lot.
Everyone from the employees to the folks who rode in for the music is
always so nice at Space Coast Harley-Davidson. Keep an eye for their
ads each month to find out what is planned!!

Nobodies’
Opinion
By Billy “Kneecap” Braddock
I doubt that there is anybody who could forget what happened on September 11,
2001. The terrible day Islamic terrorists murdered 2977 innocent people. Every
year we have ceremonies remembering and praying for these victims. At 8:46
AM we have a moment of silence. After we have paid respect to those who died
on that day with our silence and prayers, we need to look at the rest of the story.
It’s time to change our silence into shouts & screams.
Islamic terrorism started long before there was an Israel or the United States.
As far back as the 1700s Islam has hated the West. Islam blames the crusades,
the Jews, Western culture, and Christians for their fall from power. Truth is they
are their own cause of destruction. They are extremely brutal and patient. They
know in time that because of the weakness of our politicians they can do a lot
more damage by waiting.
Let’s take a look at the damage they have done. Since 2001 we have entered
into two wars with almost 7000 casualties, 52,000 wounded, and 970,000 veteran claims for disability. 2600 NY Firefighters, Police, EMTs, sanitation workers,
and volunteers have had extreme health problems. Not to mention the Trillions
of $.
Lately there has been a lot of talk about making “America Great Again”. America
has always been “Great”. It is the politicians that are taking the greatness and
throwing it in the dumpster. We spend more money on illegal aliens, than we
do our Veterans. Obama has slashed more than 1.4 billion from the budget for
American’s veterans. 70,000 fewer veterans will receive the VA care they need.
Obama has said he wants to grant amnesty to 5 million illegal aliens, while cutting military spending to veterans by a staggering 65%. This executive action will
be giving out a year’s worth of Medicaid coverage and cash, costing US taxpayers 97.8
million, money which would be taken from
the VA. Obama stated, it’s important to give
these immigrants a footstool to help them climb out of substandard conditions
they been facing. He’s right. We need to give them a foot in the ass hard enough
to send them home. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) summed it up perfectly. It’s absurd.
Taking money away from veterans who served his country bravely and proudly,
and handing it over to people who aren’t even American citizens. It’s insulting to
know this man is still president.
Actually his actions are not hard to believe. He’s been dissing the military since
he’s taken office. He skipped the funeral of the highest-ranking officer to be
killed on foreign soil in over 40 years. He’s been smearing Veterans as potential
domestic terrorists. He has tried making wounded Veterans cover their own
medical treatment through private insurance plans. He gave terrorists at Gitmo
a $750,000 soccer field, cable TV, entertainment, classes in painting, etc. while
stripping away benefits for soldiers. He silenced and criminalized Christianity in
the military. He’s allowed Veterans to die in secret waiting lists at VA hospitals
all over the country. He endlessly tramples on the Constitution that soldiers are
sworn to defend and attacking the rights they fought, bled and died to protect.
Obama has no challengers. The voters gave the GOP the House and the Senate and what did they get? Mitch McConnell the Senate’s designated liar from
Kentucky and Speaker John Boehner who can’t speak up unless he’s ordering
a drink at happy hour. If chastised he will start crying.
If NASA wants to send people to Mars I’ve got some real spaced out x-wives
I’d recommend.
I have a lot more to say about this and other subjects on my website nobodiesopinion.com
See you on the shiny side of tomorrow.

Twisted Tea Bike Giveaway
at Sturgis 75th Anniversary
by
Rodney Roerhig wins
74 Ironhead Sportster
Bill Grotto
Eric Hess wins
Twisted Tea Bagger
Imagine riding your bike to Sturgis and
leaving with two…Sound crazy?
Not when Twisted Tea is involved!
This year at the Sturgis 75th
anniversary Twisted Tea not only
gave away one bike but TWO
bikes to lucky consumers. The first
bike was a 1974 ironhead Sportster
that was built by our friends at The
Choppin Block. The Choppin Block is
a group of builders that got together to do
what they love the most- build bikes! Chop
Docs Choppers (From Michigan now out
of Daytona) Turners Cycle Shop, Kustoms
Inc and Doomtown Choppers all played a
role in getting this little bar hopper going.
We gave the bike away at Steve Broyle’s
The Horse Back Street Choppers show at
Full Throttle Saloon. What made this bike
giveaway special was that it was free to
enter for anyone over 21 and the drawing
happened right there on the spot that
day. The ballot box was overflowing with
entries! When it was time to draw a name
we had two (unlucky) entrants whose
names were called but they never came to
the stage so too bad for them! Three times
a charm is true because the 3rd name
we drew was Rodney Roerhig from Iowa
City, Iowa and boy was he happy! As he
approached the stage with a Twisted Tea
in hand we knew we had the right guy!
This story almost didn’t have a happy
ending…At the end of this busy day I
went home and emptied my pockets of
all the receipts and business cards I get
all day and realized there was something
missing…Rodney’s contact information!
Luckily Rodney called up The Horse and
they put him in touch with us…Otherwise
there would have been posters all over
Sturgis that said “Rodney from Iowa call
Twisted Tea we have your bike!”
The second bike giveaway
we did was at One
Eyed Jack’s. This was in
conjunction with a national
“text to win” a trip to Sturgis
and a chance to win the
bike. The bike was a ’72
FLH shovel head which we
named “Tea Bagger” because
hey it’s Twisted Tea and it’s a
bagger…no brainer! We had
the ballot box at One Eyed all
week long and there were many
entries. On Thursday afternoon
we picked 6 ballots out of the box and
called the contestants to let them know
they were chosen as finalists. One Eyed
Jacks is always busy and this night was
no different. With the bar packed and
the crowd waiting in anticipation each
contestant came up and picked one of 6
keys out of a bucket. First one…nuthin…
second guy (who won the trip to Sturgis)…
nuthin…Once again 3 time’s a charm and
the 3rd contestant Eric Hess from Buffalo
New York had the key that fired the bike!
Just like Rodney he was a long time Tea
drinker so we knew the right guys got the
bikes and nothing could make us happier
than making our loyal drinkers happy!
This was the first time we did something
like this and felt it was a great success. We
plan on doing it again so who knows the
next winner could be YOU!
History of Motorcycles:
Part 6
World War I had a dramatic effect
on the motorcycle industry, but just
as the war had successfully thrust
the industry ahead by leaps and
bounds, the post war economy
would prove to be detrimental to the
motorcycle world and its advancement. To fully understand the effects the post war economy had on
the industry, we must first fully grasp
the situation the United States was
in following the success of WWI.
Several years into America’s post war era, the financial integrity
of our country would collapse. October 24, 1929 would forever
become known as Black Thursday, the day stocks plummeted
and banks began calling in loans…the beginning of the Great
Depression. By mid-November an estimated $30 billion in stock
values had all but disappeared. By March 1930 more than 3.2
million people are unemployed. In December 1931 New York’s
Bank of the United States collapses while holding over $200 million in deposits, making it the largest single bank failure in American history. Nationwide conditions continued to break down
and US citizens suffered greatly until the Second World War,
when things finally began to turn around for the United States.
So what happened to our beloved two-wheeled lifestyle during
the chaos of the Great Depression? Following the stock market
crash, motorcycle sales in the United States plummeted. We
will revisit a few key players from previous segments, and see
where they end up by the end of this devastating era in American history.
The first victim of the Great Depression was Excelsior. Excelsior was operating successfully during the war, and consistently
filling orders. The Super X was
making the company money, and
things were good. Previously purchased by the bicycle guru known
as Schwinn, it seemed Excelsior
would be a household name for
years to come. So imagine the
surprise to everyone when Schwinn called his department heads
together for a meeting on a summer day in 1931 and announced,
without any prior warning, that
the company would be closing
its doors. It was said he stated
very bluntly, “Gentleman, today we
stop.” I can imagine the shock, that
despite a full order book, Schwinn
chose to cease motorcycle production…Excelsior closed its doors in
September of 1931.
Triumph, though located on the other side of the pond, was also greatly
affected by the post war economy.
In 1929 Triumph sold its German
subsidiary as a separate, independently owned company that would later merge with the Adler
Company to create the Triumph-Adler Company. In 1932 Triumph sold another branch of its company (the bicycle production
portion) to the Raleigh Bicycle Company; by this time Triumph is
struggling financially to stay afloat. By 1936 motorcycle operations are faring better due to the acquisition of Jack Sangster.
Sangster formed the Triumph Engineering Company LTD, and
with the help of Edward Turner designed the Triumph Speed
Twin (500 cc) in 1937. This engine became the basis for all Triumph Twins until the 1980’s, and kept Triumph from dissolving
completely during the Great Depression. Though the company
survived by the skin of its teeth, it did not emerge unscathed,
but rather as bits and pieces of its former self…so in the famous
words of Freddie Mercury…another one bites the dust.
Indian Motorcycles on the other hand, maintained a respectable
success rate following WWI. During the Great Depression, Indian did not claim rights to any extraordinary advancement in the
motorcycle world, but instead turned its focus towards styling
updates and cosmetic improvements with the hopes of maintaining customer interest in the face of declining sales. Who doesn’t
love a pretty face?? In 1932 Indian
introduced skirted fenders, a long
graceful chain guard, as well as a
saddle tank that hid the frame…
this foretold the profile of the
“modern” motorcycle. In 1934 Indian chose a streamlined, automotive styling to its model line. Lightly valanced fenders were given
deeper side panels, and two-tone
paint schemes became available
on most models.
the 80 cubic inch (1300 cc) Flathead to their line in 1935; 1936
brought more changes to the industry with Harley’s announcement of the 61E and 61EL models. These models boasted the
Knucklehead OHV engines, and by the end of the first year of
production these babies had been road tested and improved
upon as well. By 1937 Harley had equipped all Flatheads with
the same type of dry-sump oil recirculation systems introduced
on the Knucklehead OHVs. The revised 74 cubic inch V and VL
models were renamed U and UL; the 45 cubic inch R model became the W, while the 80 cubic inch VH and VHL were renamed
UH and UHL.
The only American motorcycle company to continue to introduce
advancements during the post war years was Harley Davidson.
In 1922, the new 74 cubic inch (1212 cc) V-Twin was completed.
Harley introduced the “teardrop” gas tank in 1925; 1928 brought
about the addition of a front brake, but notably only on the J/JD
models. In 1929, the 45 cubic inch (737 cc) Flathead V-Twin
was announced. The Flathead was designed to compete with
the Indian 101 Scout and the Excelsior Super X…this was the
“D” model, and remained in production until 1931. Indian riders
referred to the “D” model as the “3 cylinder Harley” because the
generator was upright and parallel to the front cylinder. The
Great Depression was in full swing only a few short months after
the release of the Flathead V-Twin, and with it came a dramatic
drop in sales. Harley Davidson sales in the United States fell
from 21,000 in 1929 to a meager 3,703 in 1933. In the face
of such loss, Harley did not back down. The company instead
raised a proud middle finger to the economy and waved it for all
to see…unveiling a new line up for 1934 that included a Flathead
engine and art deco styling. In order to survive the remainder of
the depression, Harley supplemented their income by producing industrial power plants based on their motorcycle engines.
They also designed and built a 3 wheeled delivery vehicle called
the “Servi-car”, which incidentally remained in production until
1973. The Servi-car became a mainstay of small businesses,
vendors, and delivery drivers for decades to come. As if Harley hadn’t done enough in such difficult times, they also added
During the course of the Great Depression, Indian and Harley
Davidson began a long-lived and well known rivalry that continued until Indian closed its doors in 1953. Despite the hardships
cast upon the United States after the First World War, Indian and
Harley Davidson survived…they were the only two American
motorcycle companies left standing. But why did they succeed
where others did not? Their survival is due in part to having
strong dealer networks, continued product use by the military,
police, and postal services, as well as strong exports to Canada and Europe…combined, and these factors allowed them to
weather the economic disaster that followed WWI.
September 1, 1939 brought about the start of WWII. The war
in essence turns around the American economy and brings an
end to the Great Depression…and with the Second World War
comes yet another section of motorcycle history to uncover.

crowds at about one million. Regardless of
whether they really hit the one million mark,
the roads, bars, stores, restaurants, campgrounds and other venues were packed!
We took advantage of some of the great
events sponsored by the Buffalo Chip,
starting with Michael Lichter’s photography
and motorcycle exhibit the “Naked Truth.”
Michael, along with some of the motorcycle
builders, did a great gallery talk about the
motorcycles and he gave us some history
on his photos. The next day we rode into
Deadwood for the Legends Ride, proceeds
of which benefitted local charities which included athletes from the Black Hills Special
Olympics.
John Paul DeJoria at Legends Ride
The very next day we headed out to The
Lodge at Deadwood for the Biker Belles
Celebration. This event benefitted the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame
and Helping with Horsepower. The keynote speaker was motorcycle matriarch
Gloria Tramontin Struck, who recently
turned 90 years old! Gloria is still loving
and living life on two wheels. As in many
years past, she rode her motorcycle from
home (New Jersey) to Sturgis and back.
Paul & Suzy Jaffe at Legends Ride
There were so many bike shows, concerts, organized rides and more that
you wish you could clone yourself and
not miss a thing! But, since it really is
all about the riding, we did spend a few
days to ride to Mt. Rushmore, Devils
Tower (Wyoming), Custer State Park,
and The Badlands with a short stop
at Wall Drug for our free water, free
donut and 5cent coffee.
To sum up our entire trip to the Black
Hills, the riding and views were
spectacular, and what a nice break
from the Florida heat and rain.
