In the Beginning
In the beginning it beckoned; calling from the darker side.
To gather chosen spirits, with a wolf as their guide.
They started on a journey; hope and dreams intertwined.
Reality and fantasy, twisted warped and defined.
A true labor of love is born from the kindred;
To share the spirit of freedom is what is intended.
With the blessings of many whitelinemagazine.com is here;
Sharing wisdom and laughter, kinship and good cheer.

you off this month, and will be adding to it in a more
complete "Shop Talk" column over the next couple
months. Another thing that I am happy to report on
this month, is the reception that our readers have given
Rodney M. and our new Xtreme sport bike column.
Rodney knows what he's talking about and truly enjoys
being involved with the biking community. His
knowledge and love of the bikes shows in his column
and your emails show that you like that. Feel free to
send Rodney email directly at
[email protected] and let him know
how much you like his efforts.
It seems I always start my column with the words "
a lot has been going on this month", but it is invariably
true. Every month we try to get out to cover events,
schedule products for review, and generally deal with
life in a tourist state. Now don't get me wrong, I know
Florida's economy depends on the tourists, but during
these months that they are here, a simple 10 minute job
of going to the post office turns into 30 minutes. And
you HAVE to be careful. Many of the drivers that
come in aren't watching other cars, let alone bikes that
share the road with them! I can't count how many times
I have told fellow riders the "secret" I learned to
surviving on Florida's roadways on a bike. It's as
simple as this... " if you see out of state tags or white
hair on both driver and passenger, don't watch the
driver, don't watch the turn signals, just watch where
the passenger points... that's where they are going!"
Going back to the subject of Daytona and Larry the
Bear ... Keep your eyes open for us while you are in
Daytona this year. Larry will be making his first trip to
Daytona and I will be meeting Greg there to get pix
and take our intrepid bear around to meet some of our
friends in the industry. I will be stopping in at the
International Speedway, Rossmeyer's HD, The Broken
Spoke and others while in town, so you have a good
chance to see me and Larry out and about. If you do,
make sure you stop up and say hello and get your pix
taken with Larry for the magazine. Also keep your
eyes open for some limited edition business cards in
Daytona from White Line and BikerWorlds. These
cool double sided cards have both of our company's
logos on them and we will be announcing a contest
concerning them next month. So get one and hang on
to it!
Anyways, enough rant about traffic, on to better
things.
We have gotten a ton of email concerning our
reports of BW_Larry, the teddy bear traveling the
country raising money for Toys for Tots that
BikerWorlds.com got going. We were proud to
participate and have the final leg of Larry's journey for
the 2006 year. We have done a lot of talking to Greg
B., the owner of BikerWorlds and have formed a sort
of partnership with them. We will be doing an ongoing
column, starting this month, with Larry the Bear and
keeping our readers up on all his adventures. We're
very happy to team up with BikerWorlds for this
worthy cause and to be a part of Larry's ongoing
travels.
That's about it for this month... I'm off and running!
Ride safe and free!
As everyone knows, March is the month for
Daytona Bike Week. (Which lasts for like 11 days... go
figure) This is actually the second big bike event of the
year with the first one being the V-Twin Expo in
Cincinnati in Feb. At both of these shows, the best of
the best and all the rest get together to show off what's
new in the motorcycle world. From Eddie Trotta to
Sucker Punch Sally's, from Custom Chrome to
PanOptix, the beginning of the year is time for NEW
and improved. We decided to follow that same theme
for the next couple months as we bring you a look at
some of the new products on the market. We've chosen
a few products that we really liked the look of to start

Motorcycle Dreams
by David Pambianchi
Iron horse, wind, passing scenery, and you glide alert and in control. Something about constant breeze, the open air as you
speed along, gives a feeling of freedom and release, a form of meditation in motion.
Some images of motorcycle culture come to us from Hollywood, the rebellious youth, Marlon Brando in "The Wild One,"
the wandering freestyle explorers of "Easy Rider," or in literature, the development of a father and son relationship through
Buddhist philosophy, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance." They keep us riding down the highway of adventure and
sometimes open a door to self-realization.
But whether a haul across the United States or a trip through the local town, the motorcycle provides riders with freespirited quests where the journey often is the destination. Long distance treks allow the mind to contemplate and wander, while
short rides simply provide joy and a chance for social interaction with like-minded riders. While some women drive their own
motorbikes, wind on your face and a woman's arms wrapped around you define a comfort and happiness that most male bikers
would not dispute.
Camaraderie takes many forms, a country trail, hills, lakes, curves, for club riders to anticipate on weekend meets, a
motorcycle rally or show, or a Nathan's parking lot to swap stories and munch hot dogs. Regular "Toys for Tots" runs for children
add a modern perspective of the biker heart. In Europe, bikers give a raised arm in acknowledgment as they pass one another on
the road, no matter what brand they ride.
Built for show, power, speed and maneuverability, motorcycles come in various styles, so do their riders. You can choose a
standard model, elegant and sporty to your taste, or if you want that ultimate sense of individuality, or simply like to be noticed,
you customize. Specialty shops create Dream machines, the magic of form and theme, paint and chrome, quality and eye-candy
cycles.
As with any vehicle, training, practice, experience, safety and caution are paramount, especially while enjoying this
flyweight of the road. For the enthusiast, the open highway stimulates the pleasure receptors and tempts the thoughts, whether
smelling pine from forest trails, gliding past warm fields and mountains under sunny skies, or following the beach on a cool
moonlit night.
Call a friend, saddle up; the next adventure is just a Motorcycle Dream away.

Have you ever planned a whole trip around the location of a
hotel you’ve never been to before? Well that’s how we ended up
going to Clearwater Beach for the weekend. It was the only hotel
we could find with all the amenities that we wanted and kind of in
the price range we were working with. So we went for it and
made a reservation.
Now I’ll tell you the truth I don’t know if I would be able to
handle all the traffic if there wasn’t all the beautiful water around
to look at while you’re waiting. I’d say I was in awe for at least
15 minutes, the sights were just amazing! And I bet we went
over almost every type of bridge there is. It was truly a
breathtaking little cruise we won’t soon forget.
The main strip was packed with restaurants; Souvenir shops (of course), a fishing pier and several water activities.
There is so much to do we barely even scratched the surface. There really aren’t too many places you can go to take a
casino or pirate cruise, parasail, jet ski, watch the dolphins or
just take a relaxing stroll down a powder soft beach.
Clearwater Beach really does have something for everyone,
no matter your taste.
Then as we were heading back towards home we
happened to stumble upon a park so we decided to go drive
through and check it out. And boy oh boy Pinellas County
really does have some down right gorgeous parks. We were
definitely pleasantly surprised but wished we had found it
earlier in our trip so we could have spent some more time
there. If you’re ever in the area make sure to set some time
aside to at least cruise through some of the parks there.
Clearwater Beach was much more than we were expecting.
The water, bridges, shopping, restaurants and overall
atmosphere really makes for a wonderful trip. Whether it be
for a few minutes to cruise the strip or a few weeks to shop and
enjoy the activities you can’t go wrong with a trip to
Clearwater Beach!
It’s been real…
Thanks for Chillin’ with Ice in Clearwater Beach,
Until next time -Ride Safe
If you have a hot band, or a local hot spot that is perfect for chillin' at that you would like Bobby to review, send your info to
[email protected] along with places and times for him to come check out your show! Please mark the subject
line "Music Review".

CONCOURS DRIVES UP PRICES OF HISTORIC MOTORCYCLES
When the Legend of the Motorcycle: International Concours
d’Elegance debuted last May, values of its two featured marques,
Brough Superior and Crocker, were strong but steady. For Crocker,
however, that changed overnight.
Referred to as the “Duesenberg of motorcycles” for the
American-made Crocker and the “Rolls-Royce of motorcycles” for
the English-made Brough, both helped the Concours make history
with the largest number of each make ever assembled at one time.
What was particularly impressive was that of the approximately 50
Crockers still known to exist, over half were present.
During their production days in the early half of the 20th
century, each of these performance motorcycles was custom
ordered and hand made, making them highly desirable and very
expensive. The Brough was widely viewed as a gentleman’s bike
while the Crocker was considered more of a hot rod bike. In fact,
creator Al Crocker advertised that if any Crocker were beat by a
stock Harley-Davidson or Indian, he would refund the buyer’s
money. As the story goes, no money was ever refunded.
With WWII and the demise of each company, these legendary
machines became largely forgotten by all but the most ardent
motorcycle enthusiast. But with each marquee taking center stage
at the Concours, the interest in Crockers suddenly exploded.
“The interest was overwhelming”, says co-founder Jared Zaugg. “Immediately following the Concours, several
people contacted me asking if any Crocker owners wanted to sell their bike. So I called some of the owners and they
said the same thing, that they had been getting phone calls of offers to buy.”
“For 50 years you have only a small group of guys who are interested in these old bikes, and then overnight
everybody wants one”, says longtime Crocker owner and enthusiast Jim Lattin. At that time of the premiere of Legend
of the Motorcycle in 2006, a good Crocker road model was worth about the same as a good Brough SS-100, around
$120,000. Six months later Bonhams sold at auction a 1937 Crocker Hemi-head from the Jack Silverman collection for
a record-breaking $276,500. A month later, a 1939 Crocker Small Tank exchanged hands privately for $300,000. It
appears that once the collector world became aware of the rarity, history and sex appeal of the Crocker, values nearly
tripled. And while they still continue to rise, finding one for sale
is akin to finding a four-leaf clover.
What will be interesting to see is how, if at all, the Concours
affects this year’s featured marques Excelsior, Henderson and
Vincent. Stay tuned.
Legend of the Motorcycle: International Concours d’Elegance
takes place May 5th, 2007 at the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay,
California (just south of San Francisco). For more information

Our gorgeous Babe of the Month this month is a local girl. She lives, rides and plays right here in Charlotte County.
Her name is Samantha.
20 year old Samantha works with our guy Rodney at Florida Motorsports and she
agreed to be our first babe on a sportbike. Now we all can appreciate a good bike, no matter
what style it is, but somehow we're having a hard time concentrating on the bike! This little
spitfire draws all your attention with her looks just as hot as the bike she is posing with! She
tells us that she keeps her 36-24-30 figure by walking and playing with the American Pit
Bulls that she breeds.
Samantha has been working at Florida Motorsports for just about 4 months,and loves the
job. It keeps her involved with the riding community and she loves seeing the customers
happy and riding off with a smile. We have a feeling if she was smiling at them to begin
with, they would have to ride off smiling in return!
Even though she's only been working there for 4 months, she has been riding a lot longer
than that. And she rides her own, not a backseat babe this one! She rides a '03 GSXR600.
She smiles big and a bit wickedly as she says, "My favorite sportbike is the R6 though".
If you don't find her on the streets on that bike, or at work, you might want to check out
the fields and open spaces. She also loves to ride 4 wheelers. Samantha is not one to sit
around and do nothing!
If you are in the neighborhood and are looking for a new import bike, you'll definitely want to check out Florida Motorsports.
While you're checking out the sleek lines of the newest import bikes, watch for this charming young woman. If you get to see and
talk to her, we're sure you'll ride off with a smile on your face too!

It's not uncommon for someone during the day to say "so... what's new?". But the answer to that simple question
can be pretty involved if it's asked during the part of the year when all the various bike manufacturers are introducing
their latest and greatest improvements.
The motorcycle industry is growing by leaps and bounds. Motorcycle riding is becoming more "accepted" and
"mainstream", much to the consternation of the old throwback hoodlum bikers. 20 or 30 years ago, it would have been
rare to see motorcycles and their riders portrayed as anything but "bad". Now you can find tv commercials for lawyers
riding their shiny hogs and proudly representing bikers or a wildly popular series about a bike building father and son
team. Almost any street in America will have people wearing t-shirts for Von Dutch or West Coast Choppers.
This brings us to the first of our "new" things. It's new in the sense that there really aren't very many motorcycle
movies made, let alone one
with the kind of star power
this one has. And it's new in
the sense that it won't hit your
theaters until the weekend
after this magazine comes out.
I am speaking, of course, of
the new movie with John
Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin
Lawrence and William H.
Macy called "Wild Hogs".
This movie is about a group of aging friends who are tired with their suburban lives and set out on a cross country
motorcycle trip. Along the way they learn some lessons and grow a bit. But it's the comedic talent and presence on
screen that makes this movie work.
In an interview with Jay Leno, John Travolta said he had a great time filming this movie. According to him, Tim
Allen came on the set from day one and challenged them to "bring their A game", and Travolta had to reach back to his
"Kotter" days to "keep up". Trailers and previews show that Travolta "kept up" very well, as did Lawrence and Macy.
This looks to be a genuinely funny movie that still gives a good portrayal of motorcycling.
Our next "news" comes from more within the motorcycle industry itself. Two of the most interesting
announcements recently concern new models from Harley-Davidson and Victory. Even though 2007 is the 50th
anniversary of the Harley-Davidson Sportster, Harley has said that it will also be the last model year for the Sportster.
So imagine everyone's surprise when HD announced the new
Sportster Nightster in Orlando this past month.
The Nightster is is a beautiful bike. HD went through and
blacked out quite a few of the traditionally chrome parts , like
the handlebars, the air cleaner, and around the rims. It has some
very cool retro styling with the smaller solo seat, the bullet-holed
belt guard and the slash cut exhausts. One of the best features is
the lack of tail light. HD used combination turn signal/tail
light/brake lights on the Nightster and a side mounted license
plate to compliment the lighting setup. If it is the last year for the
Sporty, then this is a good model to go out on! It's beautiful!

Another great American manufacturer that announced a new
model for the 2007 year is Victory Motorcycles. Victory
announced that their new model called the Vision would be
available in fall of 2007 as a 2008 model year bike. There will
actually be two versions of the Vision, the Vision Tour and the
Vision Street. Right now both bikes call for a 100 cubic inch
engine, but that may change before production.
The Vision Tour will be aimed towards the luxury touring
market with integrated GPS and MP3 capabilities accessed
through handlebar controls, integrated saddlebags and top box.
The Vision Street is basically the same bike without the top box. Both bikes will have 6 gallon fuel tanks, a six speed
transmission and belt final drive. An exciting new look and another great model from the folks at Victory.
Saxon Motorcycle Company, is a fairly new builder in the motorcycle marketplace. The company was founded just
three short years ago and in that short time has made a name for
themselves for their quality, innovative motorcycles. The
company operates out of a 40,000 square foot facility in Casa
Grande, AZ. and has risen quickly on a reputation of quality,
value and customer service. Their Griffin model production
chopper was named Production Chopper of the Year this year
at the V-Twin Expo in Cincinnati this year.
And to add to their laurels, they announced a new addition to
their production chopper line, the Mad Jack. This bike model
debuted at the Cincinnati V-Twin Expo and the response was
electric. There was constantly a crowd around the floor model
admiring this clean, mean bike. Saxon has definitely come up
with a winning design here. I personally look for this to be a
future " Production Chopper of the Year", but it's definitely
another quality product from Saxon!
Major shows like the V-Twin Expo give not only builders and manufacturers a chance to show off their new
products, but extends the same opportunity to builders and artists big and small. You can find all kinds of new
accessories to add on to your own ground up custom, or just to add a custom flair to your daily ride. One of the nicest
sets of accessories announced this year is the Signature Series by
Leroy Thompson of Mentor, OH.
Leroy Thompson has a complete line of bikes, parts and apparel and
is known for their "hand crafted quality". Thompson's choppers have
held their own against all comers and in the near future they'll be going
up against Dawn Norakas of Stinger Custom Cycles in an upcoming
Biker Build Off, but it's artistry like these signature series products that
make them stand alone. Now you can class up your ride, or put the best
on a new build by using these hand crafted products. High quality
materials and craftsmanship will make you glad you did!.

Another very cool looking new product comes to us from the people at Stevenson's Cycles in Southeast Michigan.
Stevenson's has been in business a long time establishing the business way back in 1969. They moved to their 6000
square foot building in Redford, MI in 1996 and offer
anything from parts to full repair and service. With
experience like that it's not surprising that they have
come up with an accessory kit like they have to give
your bike a truly radical custom look. Stevenson's
produces an all new Split-Rocker Box Kit for
shovelhead engines. This kit gives those older engines
a very unique look at a very reasonable price. While I
admit that there is a limited range of use for this
product, (doesn't work on other engines yet) the "cool
factor" makes this kit worth mentioning. The complete kit comes with everything you need to switch to these unique
rocker boxes including copper line and fittings to vent the engine!
Side by side with the builders and bike part vendors at any show you go to in
the country, are the personal accessory vendors. People who sell the leathers we
wear, or the various knife / knickknack / jewelry vendors. They all will have
interesting items and new styles year after year. But one area I pay attention to, is
the eyeglass vendors. The various riding glasses, goggles, visors and other
eyewear are an important part of safe riding. If you wear prescription lenses you
want a good quality lens, but being a rider it has to protect the eyes from all the possible wind-blown and road-thrown
crap we put up with. Even if you don't need prescription glasses, you want something good in front of your eyes.
PanOptx was established in 1997. They are based on a technology that
combines the benefits and performance of goggles, but with the style of
sunglasses. They specially engineer their glasses for the motorcycle, water sports
and snow sports crowd. They feature waterproof lenses, filtered vents and 100%
UV protection. Oh yeah. And STYLE.
In the Velocity series, engineered for consumers looking for the highest level
of protection and performance, Panoptx introduces Whirlwind, featuring the
patented Orbital Seal™ eyecup with a 100% seal and filtered vents to manage
airflow. And in the Speed Series, the full-wrap Taku sports a thicker air dam
providing a better seal against airborne irritants. All speed styles have the new
revamped EVA air dam, keeping wind and glare at bay and deflecting 75% of
airborne irritants, peripheral glare and wind.
They have a wide range of glasses and lens types to meet all your riding needs.
They make a quality eye protection that you'll be happy to have for years.
This is only a very small sampling of the new items announced at Cincinnati and other recent shows. Over the
next few months we will be looking at more and more of these new innovations and presenting them in our "Shop
Talk" section. But it's a big field with new stuff every day. As we have seen, everyone from the artist/builder to the
clothing manufacturer to the eyewear vendors are coming up with "new and improved", and you can count on White
Line to lead the way and bring it to you as soon as we hear of it!

A few curve balls are thrown your way on the 1st, 2nd and
3rd, but you seem to handle things pretty well. On the 8th or
9th a new project pops up, but do you really have the proper
amount of time to invest in it? Things at work run smoother
than usual on the 13th and 14th, enjoy it while it lasts . Put
your ideas down on paper the 18th and 19th, it's amazing
how much that will help. On the 25th try to keep your cool,
it's not worth the extra stress. It may be a hard task to
perform but try and get a few words in with your family on
the 28th or 29th.
On the 1st or 2nd you notice how much things around you
are changing and decide to go with the flow of things for
now. You're not responsible for everything and everybody,
go ahead and let that be known on the 6th or 7th. Find some
time to do that something you've been missing so bad lately,
on the 11th, 12th or 13th. The 17th and 18th hold a few
surprises for you to discover, have fun! On the 24th, 25th or
26th an old friend reveals some disturbing news. The 30th
goes as fast as it came, try not to miss it.

Try something new on the 2nd or 3rd, it may become a
favorite of yours. Your ride is calling to you on the 6th or
7th, so hop on and show her some love. Keep your eyes
wide open the 11th and 12th and you may notice something
you've passed by a thousand times before. On the 17th and
18th you have a hard time finding time to do anything other
than the necessities. Be prepared for something on the wild
side the 20th or 21st. You're not afraid to fight for what you
believe in and you show that on the 24th and 25th. On the
29th things begin to settle down once again.
You'll find yourself spending more time than usual making
phone calls and sending e-mails on the 3rd, 4th and 5th.
The 7th and 8th will be a little tougher than you were
expecting, but you'll handle things like a pro. On the 12th or
13th an old friend gets in touch with you, now what are you
going to do? On the 16th and 17th you'll feel as if you're
driving blindfolded, so hold on tight things might get a little
bumpy. Finishing up that project of yours is the top priority
for the 24th and 25th. Try and fit some R & R time into your
schedule on the 28th or 29th.

On the 2nd and 3rd going out of your way to help the
people around you will be well worth the extra effort.
Things really go your way on the 8th and 9th. On the 15th
and 16th you feel as if you're headed in several different
directions at once but don't fret, things will calm down by
the 17th. On the 19th romance is in the air but that doesn't
necessarily mean anything is going to happen. I guess you'll
just have to wait and see what is in store for you. On the
22nd go ahead and get one of those projects at home out of
the way. On the 26th and 27th things begin to settle way,
way down.
On the 1st and 2nd take a good look at yourself and see if
there's anything you'd like to change. Make those changes
by the 5th and you'll be well on your way to a new you.
Stand up for what you want on the 8th and 9th, you'll be
amazed at how easy it becomes. Never doubt yourself, if you
have an idea on the 15ht, 16th or 17th run with it until you
can run no more and then run just a little bit further. On the
22nd and 23rd you'll be surprised more than one time. On
the 29th your plans fall through so just make the best of
things and reschedule.

All eyes are on you the 2nd, 3rd and 4th, so put on your
Sunday best and strut your stuff. Someone comes to you for
advice with a major problem on the 6th or 7th, since when
did you become the town counselor? If you've been waiting
for the right time to get something started go for it on the
13th or 14th. Do something to unwind on the 17th or 18th.
On the 21st, 22nd and 23rd don't rush into anything, a haste
decision could end up costing you more than you're ready to
pay. By the 30th you're ready to take on anything next
month has to throw at you.
On the 1st, 2nd and 3rd take a good look at how things in
your life are going and decide if you need to make any
changes. You'll have the opportunity to get a couple of those
forgotten projects out of the way for good, on the 5th, 6th or
7th. Try gatherin' up a few friends and makin' some new
memories on the 12th or 13th. Make an attempt at getting
some R & R in on the 19th, 20th and 21st. It will really help
you out on the 22nd and 23rd when it seems like you don't
ever get a chance to stop. The 28th and 29th are days you
will not soon forget!

On the 1st and 2nd people can't get enough of what you're
saying, so speak up while they are listening! On the 7th and
8th a great deal can be accomplished, as long as you put
your thinking cap on. The 14th is an off day for you. Keep
to yourself to avoid unwanted conflicts. On the 22nd or
23rd you'll hear from an old friend whom you've been
looking for, for quite some time now. Spend a little time
with your loved ones on the 25th or 26th, they miss you but
don't want to put pressure on you. The 30th ends exactly the
way you like it to, with a whopper of a twist!
You may not feel like starting a new project on the 1st or 2nd
but if you do it may lead you in a new and exciting
direction. You are so confident regarding a decision you
make at work on the 7th or 8th you're willing to put your
reputation on the line for it. On the 14th it seems as if
everyone wants something from you. On the 21st and 22nd
you may want to spend some time catching up with your
family and friends. You're feeling pretty good on the 26th,
revel in it while you can. Make special plans for the 28th or
29th and you will be pleasantly surprised with the results.

As March starts on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd you become
engulfed with a surge of "Get-R-Done" energy, if you can
think of it you can accomplish it! The results are in by the
8th or 9th and you are very happy with what you see. On the
15th and 16th everyone around you will look to you for
guidance. You don't feel like yourself on the 21st and 22nd
but by the 23rd you should feel good as new! On the 26th
evaluate your level of happiness generated by your work, is
it worth your time to stay or are you ready to move on? And
only you can answer that.
March starts off with a laid back kind of feeling allowing
you to recoup from last month on the 1st and 2nd. You enjoy
helping people find direction and meaning in their lives and
on the 6th, 7th and 8th you get a few opportunities to do so.
An unexpected issue comes into the light on the 14th or 15th,
and ignoring it will only make things worse. Work is on
your mind more than usual the 21st and 22nd, maybe it's
time to start planning that next vacation! Someone from
your past will try and make contact with you on the 26th,
27th or 28th. Be Leery they may have ulterior motives.

After hearing the story, I just want to applaud your
magazine and your staff for this undertaking. You have a
truly unique idea and an entertaining magazine. You have
me hooked and I haven't rode a bike since I was a kid. (I'm
72 now) Keep up the good work and I hope to see you and
Larry again next year!
Thanks to all of you who have written in to our
magazine. We are still in the process of getting our email
re-organized and hope you bear with us as mail catches up.
We welcome your feedback both good and bad and are
happy to answer your questions and concerns.
I just wanted to write in to tell you how much I enjoy the
articles about Larry the teddy bear. It's such a cute idea that I
showed it to my co-workers and even the ones who don't
ride love the idea. The way it's written gives the teddy bear a
personality that is easy to relate to. Great work and for a
good cause!
Sam E., Key West, FL
It seems that Larry was the topic of the month in the
emails we've received. We are happy to have a small part in
this effort and have made arrangements with the owners of
BikerWorlds.com to make Larry an ongoing column in the
magazine. "The Adventures of Larry Bear" begins this
month. You can get more info on how to be a part of the
bear's ride by going directly to BikerWorlds.com and
checking the "where's Larry" area of the forums.
Lisa K., Tampa, FL.
I've been following the story about Larry the teddy bear.
How do I get involved? I think this is a great idea to do a
different kind of "teddy bear run" for Toys for Tots. Larry
can ride with me anytime!
That's it for this month folks. If you have questions or
comments for us, or if you want to submit anything for
publication, send them to
[email protected]. Please send event
listings to [email protected]
Adam W., Cleveland, OH
I met some of your staff here in Key West a couple
months ago. They were walking down the strip carrying a
teddy bear. Now you see a lot of things here that are a little
"different", but I still had to check it out.

THE FOURTH DIMENSION
We all think of riding in a three-dimensional way, there is a cruiser, a sport
bike, and a custom. Well folks you are now entering the fourth dimension. The
roadster!!!!! YEA, it is now a reality. It handles like a sport bike and has the torque
of a cruiser, but sits like a snowmobile. For all of those out there who have ridden a
V-Twin sport bike, such as, a Buell, the RC 51. TL1000, or the Aprilia Mille R, there
is a new kid on the block so to speak. Not only does this new roadster appeal to the
rider who loves the V-Twin, but the rider who doesn’t even know he or SHE is a
rider.
The roadster is a three-wheeled bike/snowmobile/on road ATV really what
ever you want to call it. The picture doesn’t do it justice. Now I can speak from
experience. I was out in San Diego for the unveiling of the Can Am Spyder. Not
only did I get to see all that it had to offer, I got to ride it as well. Now let me tell
you, the ride was amazing. The two wheels in the front gave a sense of security that I
was not familiar with, but it still gave the performance and handling that the
enthusiast loves. There are some things on this bike that were cool to have,
traction control, stability control, ABS, just to name a few. The traction
control works by taking out the rear cylinder, it gives the wheel time to catch
up with the rider. Ya, the stability control was one of the coolest things that I
have ever experienced in my life, with the three wheels, it has a tendency to
want to pick up the inside tire in an aggressive turning situation, so the ECU
will put just enough breaking to the wheel that is still on the ground to put
the inside tire back on the street. ABS, it is linked front and back with onefoot pedal no front break. It works GREAT, not sure if there is going to be
an option for a front break “ I hope there is.” You can find out all about the
SPYDER at www.can-am.brp.com it will be worth your time!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now back to the SPORT BIKE STUFF… We are all waiting for the new GSX-R 1000 the ’07 should be here
any day now. It is a new monster rebuilt from top to bottom. Duel exhaust, new pistons, and three different maps that
you are able to change on the fly. If you ride as much as I do that you know that it is a necessity. Oh not to mention
that the foot pegs are adjustable three ways. Almost all of the liter bikes came out this year with a newest latest
greatest, Yamaha R1, Suzuki GSX-R 1000, ya more power more power more power. Like I was talking about last
month was the after market of the sport bike world. With all of the new bikes they are fuel injected so the upgrades are
easy. All that it takes is a power commander “jetting of today” to make up for the fuel air mixture inconsistencies that
you have when you change pipes and air filter. Yoshe has come out with full and slip on exhaust for the stubby pipe of
the new 600 and 750. The fender eliminator kits are out as well. Florida
motor sports in Punta Gorda, has a great parts department, and a great
service department with all of the tecs. being riders themselves. If you
haven’t noticed, the BABE OF THE MONTH is on our sales staff. Sam is
a rider as well and yes she has a GSX-R 600 2003 so if you are in the area
make sure you stop in to the shop and see all of the latest greatest and hot
new things out. Aaron is our parts guru, and he will find what you need for
almost any bike imaginable. Once again this is from Rodney’s brain and
not only am I a rider but an enthusiast as well. If you ever have any
questions you can get me at [email protected] Oh and also remember Florida Motor Sports holds a bike
night first Thursday of every month at Coyotes bar and grill in Punta Gorda, Florida we give away a $500 gift
certificate and a free helmet every month.

Marching right along into spring! (Pun intended!) I
feel for all of you folks up in the "great white north" this
winter. Some of you really got nailed! Nope, don't miss
that stuff a bit living in Southwest Florida. I paid my dues
living through Michigan winters. 'Bout the only thing you
can do is laugh to keep warm...
A drunken man walks into a biker bar, sits down at the
bar and orders a drink. Looking around, he sees three men
sitting at a corner table. He gets up, staggers to the table,
leans over, looks the biggest, meanest, biker in the face and
says: "I went by your grandma's house today and I saw her
in the hallway buck naked.
Man, she is one fine looking woman!" The biker looks at
him and doesn't say a word.His buddies are confused,
because he is one bad biker and would fight at the drop of a
hat.
The drunk leans on the table again and says: "I got it on
with your grandma and she is good, the best I ever had!" The
biker's buddies are starting to get really mad but the biker
still says nothing.
The drunk leans on the table one more time and says, "I'll
tell you something else, boy, your grandma liked it!"
At this point the biker stands up, takes the drunk by the
shoulders looks him square in the eyes and
says.............Grandpa,....... Go home, you're drunk!

A very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walks into
Wal-Mart with her two kids in tow, screaming obscenities at
them all the way through the entrance.
The Wal-Mart Greeter says, "Good morning and
welcome to Wal-Mart....Nice children you've got there - are
they twins?"
The ugly woman stops screaming long enough to say,
"Hell no they ain't, the oldest one, he's 9 and the younger
one, she's 7. Why the hell would you think they're
twins?...Do you really think they look alike?"
"No", replies the greeter, "I just couldn't believe you got
laid twice!

One winter morning a husband and his blonde wife in
northern Ohio were listening to the radio during breakfast
when they heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8
to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the
even-numbered side of the street, so the snowploughs can
get through." So the good wife went out and moved her car.
A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the
radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of
snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered
side of the street, so the snowploughs can get through."
Again, the good wife went out and moved her car.
The next week they are again having breakfast, when the
radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of
snow today. You must park..." Just at that moment, the
electric power went out.
The good wife was very upset, and with a worried look
on her face she said, "Honey, I don't know what to do.
Which side of the street do I need to park on so the
snowploughs can get through?"
With the love and understanding in his voice that all men
who are married to Blondes exhibit, the husband replied,
"Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time?"

Little Tony was staying with his grandmother for a few
days. He'd been playing outside with the other kids for
while when he came into the house and asked her,
"Grandma, what's that called when 2 people sleep in the
same room and one is on top of the other?"
She was a little taken back, but she decided to just tell
him the truth. "It's called sexual intercourse, darling"
Little Tony just said, "Oh, OK," and went back outside
to play with the other kids. A few minutes later he came
back in and said angrily, "Grandma, it isn't called sexual
intercourse. It's called Bunk Beds. And Jimmy's mom wants
to talk to you."

their vacations, their free time, their hotel
reservations and their airline flights all in the
privacy of their home, on a computer.
Fuel costs are skyrocketing, making
distribution an ever rising expense. Between the
Ecology and manufacturing costs, paper and
printing are rising costs.
The business world is now dealing in a global
economy, with customers seeing their products,
comparing, and purchasing them, in the comfort of
their home.
For all these reasons, White Line Magazine
exists. We feel that now is the time for an online
magazine that gives all the same benefits and feel
of a print magazine, but has a global reach and
direction.
Now, no matter where you are, you can plan
motorcycle events into the trip using our
interactive "Events and More" page. Click on the
state you will be visiting, and you'll get events for
that month in that state, repair shops, biker
friendly bars and restaurants and what print
publications are available.
We also make it possible for you to nominate a
business to be included in these lists!
We offer businesses many ways to let you the
consumer know they exist and are here to help
you. We help drive business to their websites. We
reach a target audience WORLD-wide. And we do
all of that at a cost lower than most print
magazines can afford to.
We aren't just another web site. We are an
ongoing magazine, with the look and "feel" of a
magazine, not a links site. We don't charge you for
an online version of our magazine, or a print
version. There is no membership. We find honest
to goodness interesting content for the ads to
compliment, not the other way around. We don't
have nudity or foul language, so that hopefully,
even school age kids with a passion for riding will
read us. We go after the international market, not
just local, but we give every bit of it a local print
feel.
Check us out. Come back month after month as
we feature new articles and stories and event
coverage. see how easy it is to use the "Events and
More" pages. Maybe even send in a riding
experience to share with others, or pictures of your
"fine" ride.
We work at making this "your" magazine. We
give you large and small advertisers. We strive to
have the best in event coverage, stories and
reading material. For businesses, we give you
coverage, we feature businesses who are owned by
motorcyclists on the cover of the magazine and we
give you world-wide exposure. Enjoy!

The internet is a great tool and that's why we are an internet based magazine. To reach more people! We want to keep the
look and "feel" of a paper magazine, but we also want to give you useful information. In that light, we give you some of our
favorite website links.
