September... Another month gone and getting closer to Fall...
We hope you have enjoyed TRM-NY and we strive to continue
to get the mag out to your local biker friendly business. We
have had awesome feedback since our premier issue in
January indicating that the mag is well received and people
all over New York look forward to reading each month’s issue
as soon as it hit the streets. As hard as the TRM-NY staff and
I try, there is no guarantee that we will be able to continue
publishing the magazine you love to read and look for each
month. It takes great effort, time and expense to put together
each issue and while it is free to the readers, it is very costly
to produce. We rely solely on our advertisers and sponsors
to get each issue out and will cease to exist without continued
advertising support. If you want to continue to have TRM-
NY available, it is important to let your local biker friendly
businesses know. If you have or know of a business that ads in by the deadline (Sept 15th) so we can get our October

each and every day, the wind, the roads, the friends and the
laughs... The time has come to make some tough decisions
and choices. Without continued advertising support, I may be
forced to abandon the efforts and dreams of putting together
New York States Ultimate biker magazine. As the unofficial
riding season slows down, many riders park their bikes. Not
so for many others including myself !!! We will ride; rain, snow,
wind, or in sunshine until we are no longer able. We are
bikers and nothing can strip us of that. It is much more than
just the motorcycle we ride. It is an attitude, a discipline, a
certain respect and a way of life. I will forever stand true to my
ideals and beliefs. I will always support the biker community
and I hope to be able to continue to get TRM-NY out in future
months, however, that fate is in the hands of our own biker
community. Without the support of biker friendly business,
our expenses cannot possibly be made. Please notify your
friends and local businesses that you want to keep Thunder
Roads New York Magazine distributing in your area and how
much you look forward to each issue. Tell them to get their

tionwide and could turn frustrated riders away from the $12
billion motorcycle marketplace. Laws restricting motorcycle
noise have been around for years and come in many forms;
some are against certain types of products such as a New
York City ordinance that subjects riders to a minimum $400
ticket for having an exhaust system that can be heard within
200 feet, while others are aimed more at the intent of the
operator such as a Lancaster, Penn., ordinance that makes
it illegal for riders to over-rev their engines. In Denver, which
passed a unique muffler law three years ago that requires
EPA labeling to be displayed on pipes to prevent bikers
from installing louder after-market exhausts, Aid to Injured
Motorcyclists (A.I.M.) attorney Wade Eldridge was recently
quoted in a local CBS-4 story investigating the controversial
attempt to reduce noise emissions. Eldridge, who specializes
in representing motorcycle riders in accident and insurance
law cases and who is a rider himself, was quoted in the July
23rd interview as saying: “I think it (the Denver loud noise
law) was something the city council passed that they knew
was unenforceable,” and suggested that to fight back “those
who receive tickets should demand trials.” Though rarely
enforced since Eldridge won a key case against the Denver
noise ordinance, with only 46 tickets handed out to date, po-
lice in Golden citing state law have issued 81 noise violations
in the last 6 months. The city is using a Colorado state stat-
ute, C.R.S. 42-4-225 that requires that vehicles be equipped
with an “adequate” muffler, and outlaws any “excessive or
unusual” noise. According to Eldridge, “the law lends itself
to arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement -- the police can
stop you for whatever reason.” “The powers that be in the
City of Golden have apparently made a political decision that
they don’t want us in their city,” observed Eldridge, add-
ing that; “The police department will continue stopping us,
and writing these tickets, until enough people PLEAD NOT
GUILTY AND INSIST ON A TRIAL… when the court is back-
logged with these cases, we will see some official pressure
to stop them.” In the meantime, further information on fight-
ing such tickets can be found on the website of the Colorado
Confederation of Clubs (www.colorado-coc.com), of which
Eldridge serves as legal counsel.
MINNESOTA CLAIMS VICTORY FOR CUSTOM MOTOR-
CYCLE BUILDERS The state patrol in Minnesota, like many
other police agencies, use license plate scanners in their
patrol cars that can read up to 1,000 plates per minute, but
they are unable to read the vertical plates on some custom
motorcycles.  “It didn’t take too much to sneak a new law
20 Thunder Roads New York September 2010
through and after the 2008 session vertical plates were
illegal,” said Todd Riba, ABATE of MN Legislative Director,
“but not for long.” ABATE of Minnesota’s lobbying team and
State Coordinator started to work on the problem, and State
Senators Amy Koch and Ray Vandeveer stepped forward
to carry their bill. The state patrol didn’t want to give up its
ability to read motorcycle plates, but ABATE didn’t want the
custom bike folks to lose the right to trick out their rides. It
took a lot of creative thinking to come up with a solution,
but in the end that’s what happened. The bill passed and
the Governor signed it into law, becoming effective August
1st. Here is how it works: the DVS will offer vertical reading
license plates. You will be able to mount these plates in ver-
tical license plate brackets and law enforcement’s scanners
will still be able to read them. The plates can be ordered
just like vanity plates and riders will have to pay an extra
fee, but these new vertical reading plates should keep you
out of trouble and if you sell the bike you can keep the plate
for your next custom ride.
HABITUAL OFFENDER HELD WITHOUT BAIL IN
CYCLIST’S DEATH A Westerly, Rhode Island woman has
been ordered held without bail on charges that she struck
and killed a motorcyclist with her car. Laura Reale, 27, did
not enter a plea at a July 22nd arraignment in Washington
County Superior Court on an indictment of driving to endan-
ger, death resulting. According to an NBC 10 news report, a
judge ordered her held without bail after a prosecutor said
Reale had been hiding marijuana use by submitting another
person’s urine samples. She will be held until her lawyer
can find her a drug treatment program. Reale is accused of
running a red light in Westerly on May 16 and crashing into
a motorcycle driven by 27-year-old Colin B. Foote. Reale
has a history of violations, with 27 moving-vehicle violations
on record. Foote’s death led to a new state law aimed at
preventing habitual traffic offenders from driving.
KEYSTONE MOTORCYCLE SAFETY CAMPAIGN
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has an-
nounced a free online program celebrating the freedom
of motorcycling called the “Live Free Ride Alive” program.
“The campaign reminds riders to take it easy out there
and accept personal responsibility for their actions,” said
a PennDOT spokesperson. “It addresses issues of drink-
ing and riding, speeding, and being properly trained and
licensed to operate a motorcycle.” Pennsylvania riders can
enhance their operating skills and safety awareness by tak-
ing free training offered through Pennsylvania’s Motorcycle
Safety Program. The live courses are free to Pennsylvania
residents and are held from March through October at ap-
proximately 70 sites across the state. Motorcycle permit
holders who successfully complete the course will be issued
a motorcycle license.

NEW JERSEY LAWMAKERS INTRODUCE FEDERAL
GANG LEGISLATION According to information recently cir-
culated by ABATE of the Garden State, New Jersey congres-
sional representatives are pushing new federal legislation to
deter gang activity. In early August, U.S. Sen. Robert Menen-
dez (D-N.J.) introduced one bill in the U.S. Senate while
Rep. Frank Pallone (D-6th Dist.) introduced a version in the
House of Representatives. The legislation claims to address
“criminal street gang problems” from several angles. It would
fund billions of dollars in programs for at-risk youth, including
$5.5 billion in grants for state and federal programs. Menen-
dez and Pallone also want $3.5 billion in grants over five
years for police departments to fight gangs. The legislation
would also create or increase federal penalties for gang ac-
tivities. For example, engaging in a “pattern of criminal gang
activity” - meaning committing two or more crimes related to
gang membership - could send someone to prison for up to
30 years.
AGING ROAD WARRIORS AT HIGHER RISK
Continuing to ride a motorcycle may keep some senior
citizens young at heart, but as the riding population grows
older they are more likely to be injured or die as a result of
a mishap when compared to their younger counterparts due
to factors associated with aging. Researchers at Rochester
University Medical Centre in New York released findings ear-
lier this spring indicating that half of all motorcyclists needing
emergency treatment in 2005 were over 40, double the num-
ber in 1993, and accidents involving riders in that age group
were twice as likely to be fatal as those involving younger
bikers. Of all injured riders included in the study, those aged
50 to 59 were the fastest-growing group, while those between
20 and 29 were the most rapidly declining group. Age-related
changes, such as decreases in bone strength and brain size,
may make older riders more susceptible to injury. Other fac-
tors associated with aging, such as impaired vision, delayed
reaction time, and altered balance contribute to motorcycle
crashes in this population. In the study, which was published
in the March issue of the American Surgeon, researchers
using the National Trauma Databank reviewed the records of
61,689 motorcyclists aged 17 to 89 years involved in a mo-
torcycle crash between 1996 and 2005. The average age of
motorcyclists involved in crashes steadily increased over the
study period, which is consistent with published statistics from
the Motorcycle Industry Council which report that the average
age of motorcycle ownership rose from 33 years in 1998 to 40
years in 2003.
WEIRD NEWS: PYRAMID POWER USED TO STOP TRAF-
FIC ACCIDENTS Since the days of ancient Egypt, pyramids
have been credited with supernatural or paranormal proper-
ties, and now their putative powers are being harnessed by
Indian police to reduce road accidents.
www.thunderroads-NY.com
After meeting with an expert in Vastu, an ancient Hindu
system of construction similar to Chinese Feng Shui, traffic
officers in Nagpur are strategically installing small pyramids
at accident-prone sites in the city in hopes their claimed
positive energy can stop deadly crashes. Vastu expert
Sushil Fatehpuria, who offered his services free of charge,
said that each 30 centimetre tall pyramid will have a copper
bottom and five smaller pyramids inside. “I think the acci-
dents are caused by negative energies. So we need to mini-
mize or convert the negative energy into positive ones,” he
said. “I will energize the pyramids. I will transfer my positive
thoughts into the pyramids.” A combination of an increase in
drivers, many of them untrained, poor road planning and lax
law enforcement have made India’s roads the most dan-
gerous in the world, with more than 114,000 fatalities each
year. Good Luck!
EDUCATION CYCLES
The United States has donated 115 motorcycles worth
$524,398 to an African educational center that coordinates
tutors in the Uganda cities of Lango, Acholi and Teso. The
motorcycles were handed over by the U.S. Agency for Inter-
national Development to Uganda team leader, Elise Ayers,
at Asuret Core Primary Teachers College in Soroti in May.
Ayers said the motorcycles would enable the tutors make a
minimum of three visits to each school in a term to mentor
and provide professional support to teachers.
INDONESIAN CAPITAL LIMITS MOTORCYCLE TRAFFIC
City officials in Jakarta are mulling over schemes to limit
the number of motorcycles allowed in certain areas during
peak hours to help unsnarl the city’s acute traffic jams. The
Indonesian Motorcycle Industry Association estimates there
are about 35 million motorcycles in usable condition in the
country, and in the capital city of 8.5 million people there
are nearly one motorcycle for every person and growing
by nearly a thousand new bikes every day. This extraor-
dinarily high number of motorcycles has exacerbated the
city’s already awful traffic, especially during rush hour, and
plans are in place to begin banning bikes from a number of
main thoroughfares in this mostly Muslim nation after the
holy holiday of Ramadan, requiring riders to continue their
journeys by public transportation. Motorcycle numbers have
been increasing for six years throughout the country, driven
by affluence and affordable credit schemes. Today, a new
motorcycle can be purchased with an initial down payment
of Rp 500,000 (US$50).

 Orange County Choppers Partners with the FBI and the Hudson
Valley InfraGard Alliance to Build an FBI-Themed Chopper
An Orange County Chopper with an FBI logo
was a unique item created for a fundraising effort
to support youth anti-violence in Newburgh, New
York. The FBI partnered with the Hudson Valley
InfraGard alliance and Orange County Choppers
(OCC)—a custom motorcycle manufacturer in
Orange County, New York run by Paul Teutul,
Sr.—to build a custom-made chopper in support
of Newburgh youth.
The chopper, unveiled today on the waterfront
in Newburgh, attracted a crowd of spectators who
waited in anticipation as it made its way down
Front Street accompanied by FBI agents and
local police. New York State Senator Bill Larkin
and Newburgh Mayor Nicholas Valentine joined
the crowd along with FBI Special Agent in Charge
(SAC) Diego Rodriguez, Assistant Special Agent
in Charge (ASAC) Belle Chen, Chairman of the
InfraGard National Members Alliance Kathleen
Kiernan, InfraGard coordinator and FBI Special
Agent Maryann Goldman, and members from the
“Center for Hope.”

The FBI’s InfraGard program is a partner-
ship that creates relationships with the public
and private sector to help the FBI protect critical
infrastructure and combat major crime trends.
The FBI, the Hudson Valley Chapter of InfraGard,
and OCC are working with Orange County, the
Newburgh Police Department, and community
organizations on an awareness building and
fundraising campaign to help Newburgh youth
stay out of gangs and to reduce the violent crime
that is synonymous with the gang culture.

SAC Diego Rodriguez, who oversees the
Criminal Division in the FBI’s New York Office,
was excited to see the arrival of the FBI chop-
per. “There are approximately one million gang
members belonging to more than 20,000 gangs in
the U.S. Gangs have long posed a threat to public
safety, and gang activity is a problem for cities big
and small. In 2009 alone, Newburgh led the state
in violent crime per capita. The FBI is proud to
partner with OCC and the Hudson Valley Chapter
of InfraGard on this unique initiative to reach out
to the youth of our communities and help provide
them with opportunities to steer their future in the
right direction.”

Accepting the bike on behalf of the InfraGard
National Members Alliance was Chairman
Kathleen Kiernan, who added, “We are pleased
and excited to support this project, which we hope
will have a positive influence on the youth of this
community. Projects such as this reinforce our
private sector partnerships with the public and
demonstrate for our youth the possibility of a life
with limitless opportunities.”
“I think it’s vital that we as OCC get involved
with the youth anti-violence campaign in New-
burgh. This is the community that we all work
and live in, and we are committed through our
relationship with InfraGard and the city to ensure
that kids in Newburgh know that they’ve got
options outside of gang culture,” said Paul Teutul,
Sr., founder of Orange County Choppers.

OCC also worked with Infragard community
partners in Newburgh by donating another cus-
tom “Stop-the-Violence” chopper. This chopper,
also built by OCC and debuted this morning, will
be raffled off by local partners to raise money for
a “Center for Hope,” conceptualized and built by
InfraGard and community partners in the center of
Newburgh for youth at risk of becoming involved
in gangs and gang violence. Paul Teutul Sr.
helped the kids of Newburgh paint the walls of the
“Center for Hope,” which his raffle bike will help to
support.
The proceeds will help build key educational
and recreational programs geared at providing
positive alternatives and activities for Newburgh
youth and families to help them say no to gangs
and violence in their community. The programs,
which the kids themselves have identified, include
music production, dance, and boxing along with
mentoring programs and life skills training, which
will teach the kids the self-control, respect, self-
confidence, and discipline they need to succeed
in life.
Both motorcycles were built at the OCC facility
in Newburgh. It is expected that the TLC TV
series American Chopper will feature the building
of the FBI chopper in an upcoming September
episode.

 A redneck was stopped by a game warden in middle
Tennessee recently with two ice chests full of fish. He
was leaving a secluded lake well known for its fishing.
The Game Warden asked the man, ‘Do you have a
license to catch those fish?’
‘Naw, sir’, replied the redneck. ‘I ain’t got none of them
there licenses. You gotta’ understand, these here are my
pet fish.’
‘Pet fish?’
‘Yeah. Every night, I take these here fish down to the
lake and let ‘em swim ‘round for a while. Then, when I
whistle, they jump right back into these here ice chests
and I take ‘em on home.’
‘That’s a bunch of b.s.! Fish can’t do that.’
The redneck looked at the warden for a moment and
then said, ‘It’s the truth Mr. Government Man. I’ll show
ya, it truly works.’
‘O.K.’, said the warden. This I’ve got to see!’
The redneck poured the fish into the lake and stood and
waited. After several minutes, the warden says, ‘Well?’
‘Well, what?,’ says the redneck.
The warden says, ‘When are you going to whistle them
back?’
‘Whistle who back?’
‘The FISH,’! yelled the warden!
‘What fish?,’ replied the redneck, “I thought we were
just beholdin’ the beauty of the lake.”
A Georgia preacher said to his congregation, “Someone
in this congregation has spread a rumor that I belong to
the Ku Klux Klan. It is a horrible lie and one which
a Christian community cannot tolerate. I am embarassed
and do not intend to accept this. Now, I want the party
who did this to stand and ask forgiveness
from God and this Christian Family.” No one moved. The
preacher continued, “Do you not have the nerve to face
me and admit this is a falsehood? Remember, you will be
forgiven, and in your heart you will feel glory. Now stand
and confess your transgression.” Again all was quiet.
Then slowly, a drop-dead gorgeous redhead with a body
that would stop traffic rose from the third pew. Her head
was bowed and her voice quivered as she spoke.
“Reverend, there has been a terrible misunderstanding.
I never said you were a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
I simply told a couple of my friends that you were an
absolute wizard under the sheets.”
This one is for everyone who...
a) has kids
b) had kids
c) was a kid
d) knows a kid
e) is going to have kids.
I guess that means all of us!! (cont’d. nxt. column)
30 Thunder Roads New York September 2010
I was packing for my business trip and my three year
old daughter was having a wonderful time playing on
the bed. At one point she said, ‘Daddy, look at this’ ,
and stuck out two of her fingers.
Trying to keep her entertained, I reached out and stuck
her tiny fingers in my mouth and said, “yum, yummy”
‘Daddy’s gonna eat your fingers,’ pretending to eat her
pudgy littlle fingers. She squealed with delight, yelling,
“no, Daddy, no, don’t eat my fingers”.
I went back to packing, looked up again and my daugh-
ter was standing on the bed staring at her fingers with
a devastated look on her face.
I said, ‘What’s wrong, honey, you still have all your
fingers, don’t you?’
She looked at me and simply asked......
‘Yeah, but what happened to my booger?’
An elderly priest invited a young priest over for dinner.
During the meal, the young priest couldn’t help noticing
how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over
the course of the evening he started to wonder if there
was more between the elderly priest and the housekeeper
than met the eye. Reading the young priest’s thoughts,
the elderly priest volunteered, “I know what you must be
thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my house-
keeper is purely professional.” About a week later the
housekeeper came to the elderly priest and said, “Father,
ever since the young father came to dinner, I’ve been un-
able to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don’t sup-
pose he took it, do you?” The priest said, “Well, I doubt it,
but I’ll write him a letter just to be sure.”
So he sat down and wrote: “Dear Father, I’m not saying
that you ‘did’ take a gravy ladle from my house, and I’m
not saying you ‘did not’ take a gravy ladle. But the fact
remains that one has been missing ever since you were
here for dinner.”
Several days later the elderly priest received a letter from
the young priest which read: “Dear Father, I’m not say-
ing that you ‘do’ sleep with your housekeeper, and I’m
not saying that you ‘do not’ sleep with your housekeeper.
But the fact remains that if you were sleeping in your own
bed, you would have found the gravy ladle by now.”
I went fishing this morning but after a short time I ran
out of worms. Then I saw a Cottonmouth with a frog in
his mouth. Frogs are good bass bait.
Knowing the snake couldn’t bite me with the frog in his
mouth I grabbed him right behind the head, took the
frog, and put it in my bait bucket.
Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without
getting bit. So, I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and
poured a little whiskey in its mouth. His eyes rolled back,
he went limp. I released him into the lake without inci-
dent and carried on fishing using the frog.
A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. There was that
same damn snake with two frogs in his mouth!
