Too many great things to do down here in the Delmarva region. This weekend will be the inaugural Mike’s Famous Biker Weekend at Mike’s Famous Harley-Davidson in New Castle, DE.  July 16, 17 and 18. Too many things at this event to tell you about but this is going to put Delaware on the biker map. Click the above advertisement for more information. If you have never been to Delaware and want to do something new this weekend… come on down!

If you are looking for an excuse to head to the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia I have a good one for you. If I wasn’t going to the above event I would definitely be going to the Fox Creek Leather Customer Appreciation Party on the 17th.

Holy road tar Batman I married Super Woman! It seems like just a few months ago I was teaching Diana how to ride a motorcycle in a school parking lot in Baltimore. Turns out that was 5 years ago. She has been a dedicated student of motorcycling ever since. She soaks up knowledge like a sponge… as long as it doesn’t come from her husband. Most say that she rides better than me. I say she rides better than most. On top of that she does an excellent job of navigating, mapping and creating great rides. When asked why we should ride through two hours of rain to get to a bike rally she responds with “because that’s what we do!”. So I guess it is only natural that she was patched tonight as an offical HOG Road Captain in First State Chapter. Congratulations Princess, I’ll follow you anywhere!

Recently Walt Kuch aka Big Poppa and Caroline Fellman took on the challenge of bringing Fast Lane Biker Magazine to Delmarva. This is a full color print magazine focussed on the local motorcycle community in Delmarva. For for those of you not familiar with that name, that is what we call the Delaware, Maryland and Virginia peninsula of the Chesapeake Bay. The magazine is free and can be picked up at businesses that support and advertise with Fast Lane Biker. I picked up the April issue, which was the first issue, while sitting in the lounge at Mike’s Famous Harley-Davidson of Smyrna, DE. I was intrigued about Walt and Caroline’s story. It seemed they have alot in common with me and Diana. Caroline is the Editor/Publisher and Walt is the Marketing Director. Their magazine features hot biker babes, pictorials and stories with a regional flair that promotes the Delmarva region. This is our our region and I thought that Diana and I should write for this magazine.

I reached out to Walt and told him about what Diana and I have been up to and let him know we would be interested in helping him grow his new upstart magazine. We met with Walt and Caroline yesterday while they were dropping off bundles of the July issue at local businesses. We agreed to write monthly articles for FLB Delmarva. We also plan on selling advertising for the magazine as well.

Diana will have a feature column every month writing about riding from the women’s perspective. We are both excited about our writing moving from the cyber world to a legit ink and paper magazine. We are also in on a ground floor opportunity. So far there have only been four issues printed. Look for us in the fifth issue! We’ll probably be going to Gettysburg Bike Week to cover the event for the August issue.

With summer just around the corner motorcycle season is once again upon us. Before answering the open road’s call though Harley riders should be sure to grab one of Zippo’s new 2010 Harley-Davidson collection lighters. These iconic windproof lighters from one of the most trusted and recognized brands in the world feature the same reliable design as the original 1930s models such as the trademark flint- wheel ignition system, rugged metal construction, hinged lid, one-hand operation and the distinctive ‘click’ that have made the Zippo lighter legendary. They are as reliable as the bikes whose emblem they proudly bear and will be a perfect companion for any trip long or short.

The following items will be offered at the Road Captain USA online store in the very near future. Leave a comment if you want to reserve one. Retail Price is $26.95

I’m thinking that the Zippo/Case Museum in Bradford, PA would be a great stop on our next motorcycle trip to the Mansfield, PA region.

As the Director of First State Chapter I am proud to announce our chapter will be actively particpating in the 2010 Patriot Tour. We will receive the flag on June 21st and carry it to the next stop on June 22nd. I thank Bill Sherer for personally reaching out to 100 HOG Chapters asking for our help to make this vision a reality. Please read the below press release prepared by the Nation of Patriots.

Join the Nation of Patriots (N.O.P. – a 501(C)3 non profit) as they launch the 2010 Patriot Tour - a nationwide effort that will serve to honor all of Americas Armed Forces, past, present, and future by passing one American flag around the country.  The goal of this tribute is simple; 100 stops, in 100 days, 100 Flag Bearers, 48 states, 12,500 miles, 1 summer.  The American flag will be passed from state to state carried by members of Harley’s prestigious HOG organization (Harley Owner Group).  Any money raised along the tour will be donated to families of wounded veterans across the country.

The voyage begins with a flag christening provided by Fox Company at the Wisconsin Harley Davidson Dealership located at 1280 Blue Ribbon Drive Oconomowoc WI 53066.  The NOP along with the Rock River HOG chapter will start the first leg of the tour by riding the flag from Milwaukee to Chicago on Friday May 28th.  It will continue on through the lower 48 states passing from rider to rider in a nationally unified effort honoring our service men and women. The flag is due to arrive back in Madison, WI on the Weekend of Labor Day Weekend.  On the last leg of the tour the flag will receive a military and police escort from Madison to Milwaukee where it will finally come to rest and be given a folding ceremony by the NOP, the Rock River HOG, the Color Guard, and all the flag bearers from across the country.

The NOP recognizes that our country is facing uncertain times and, beyond a massive effort in honor of our Armed Forces, hopes that this historic effort raise bring a rushing surge of pride through citizens hearts throughout the country.  The NOP would like to invite all American Patriots across the nation to learn more about our efforts by visiting the NOP’s website: www.nationofpatriots.org where you can also find a complete list of all the stops on the 2010 Patriot Tour.

Thank You,

Bill Sherer
