Whats It All About

What It's All About is the first major film to bring to life the heroic struggle of the Washington State motorcycle clubs against the discrimination targeted against them by Washington State law enforcement and the media.  Set in present day Washington State and raising questions about inclusion, American identity and equality before the law that are as important today as ever, What It's All About dramatically interweaves the story of it's central characters - activists and lawyers, returning veterans and ordinary citizens within the broader history of the motorcycle clubs of Washington State during a time of extraordinary change.   What It's All About gives an insider perspective on the process by which a small subculture can produce social change on a grand level.  For the very first time, the motorcycle club community is telling their story and setting the record straight.

Jim Lightfoot Photography



 
   "Photographer Jim Lightfoot brings the feelings of the true biker lifestyle to his photographic art. Lightfoot’s work is the mastery of photography combined with the biker lifestyle he lives and loves. A long-time biker himself, Lightfoot (or Foot as his friends call him) has vested himself as one of the worlds only conceptual biker lifestyle photographers. His work is on the edge bringing light into a world that only bikers know. EasyRiders magazine has featured several of his works as their centerfold and his work continues to be published internationally."
 From an interview:  Shooting for Easyriders has really been a dream come true for a guy who spent a good part of his life running a power tool, forklift, hammer, ladder, etc. and keeping his ol’ scoot running.
My goal with my biker conceptual photos is to be true to those of us who live and breath motorcycles and know that being a biker takes a lot more than just owning a bike and leathers”.
I don’t get too philosophical with the photos. I will say that I only use real bikers. No stand-ins or look-a-likes. Every one of them is a busted knuckle wrencher and a rider.
"The biker lifestyle is hard to describe. A cross between cowboys and vikings maybe with some old fashioned outlaw mixed in there. I've heard some people describe it as an American phenomena like Elvis Presley and hamburgers. Might be some truth to that but it's a lot deeper. You can't go out and buy it. Maybe it shouldn't be described. I can say that once you're completely dedicated to it in it's truest elemental form, learn it, live it, love it and bleed for it the rest of the world looks a lot different."

Performance Machine Trike Wheels

Good Afternoon Industry Friends and Associates…

Please allow me a moment of your time to introduce you to Performance Machine, a leader in motorcycle aftermarket wheels. Performance Machine (PM) Trike wheels are the first of their kind to be manufactured for Harley-Davidson, Honda Gold Wing, Victory and other select OEM trike applications. We are offering all dealers an extra 5% discount (25% + 5%) off their initial trike wheel order in order to get you acquainted with our new wheels.

PM starts with a specifically designed wheel blank that was developed to be a perfect match to their industry-leading forged motorcycle wheels. (Other manufacturers have adapted an automotive forging for their wheels) The result is a wheel package that will enhance the looks and the ride of trikes. Now, for the first time, trike riders can choose from six different forged wheel designs…all with matching rotors to compliment the looks of their trikes. Performance Machine Trike Wheels are offered in the stock 15 x 5.5 replacement size, or if you want to see more wheel and not lose the stock ride, you have the option to upgrade to an 18 x 5.5. (15 x 7 for select manufacturers)

I have attached a PR Release and photos of all 6 styles of trike wheels that PM offers for your review. For more information, visit www.PerformanceMachine.com or call PM’s sales department at (714) 523-3000…they will be happy to help you with any trike wheel questions or orders.

Many thanks for your time and consideration...

Best personal regards,
Rick

Boozefighter member Jeff "Fratello" awarded the medal of Valor for herorism and needs your votes

Boozefighter Motorcycle Club member, Jeff "Fratello" Karges of my El-Dorado Co. "Hangtown" Chapter was recently awarded the prestigious Medal of Valor for his herorism on the job as a Sacramento Fireman..."Fratello" now needs your VOTES to win a Nationally televised AllStar Award...SEE STORY BELOW & PLEASE HELP HIM WIN..

On August 28, 2010, Engine 106 of the Sacramento Metro Fire District responded to an apartment fire with a 4 year old boy trapped inside....Upon arrival, the firefighters found heavy fire conditions, and the father of the trapped boy on the street calling desperately for help... (Inlarge attachment of fire and see father at bottom right).....

Without hesitation Fireman Jeff "Fratello" Karges, who is a member of the Boozefighters MC Charter #121 "Hangtown Chapter" threw a 24 foot extension ladder against the second floor window of the engulfed apartment.... "Fratello" then climbed to the window, broke into the apartment and entered the bedroom where he encountered heavy fire and smoke... "Fratello" was able to find the boy who was surrounded by flames, unconscious and not breathing.. Boozefighter "Fratello" wrapped the boy in blankets, fought his way back through the flames and passed the lifeless boy out the window to his Captain who was waiting at the top of the ladder.. The boy’s condition was listed as “grave” upon admission to the E.R., but one week after the fire, the boy was released from Shriner’s Hospital for Children in Sacramento, having made a complete recovery....As if saving the life of their son was not enough, Jeff and his fire team then also paid for a hotel room for the child's family, and helped raise over $1,500 for this family who lost everything except their precious son.

For his actions, Boozefighter Jeff "Fratello" Karges was awarded the Medal of Valor and has now also been nominated for the America’s Most Wanted "All Star Award", but needs your vote to win....If Fratello wins, he will recive this award on national television at a ceremony during an upcoming NASCAR race ..... Please take just a minute and go to
http://www.amw.com/?src=schedule_page click on the all-star icon at the top right of the home page, and enter Jeff Karges in the search window. When his bio appears, please vote for him... I am told you can vote once daily – so let’s all vote every day..
 
 Late last night I sent your story to the BFMC Nationals with no response yet...But, I also posted it on Facebook late last night and just overnight from midnight to 7:00 A.M. the story has had an unbelievable number of hits and it's been re-posted by numerous friends and friends of friends....Along with that, I noticed the story has also now been picked-up off Facebook and recirculated by the Placerville Newswire which re-posted it to thousands more people on-line...Just overnight, dang this might work...Some posts just off my page are as follows.....
