Here's a Sampling of the Summer Issue's Features:

Annual 9-11 Tribute Festival Memorial Ride for 2010
I can’t believe we are already done with our summer issue. Before you know it we will be working on the features, articles and events for our Sturgis Issue. I thought I had better take a minute to remind you that Gail’s Annual 9-11 Tribute Festival Memorial Ride and Rally is on the horizon, and if you wait to be reminded in the Sturgis issue you may just miss an event that I am sure you don’t want to miss. . . .Page 5

Denny Smith’s 2001 Screamin’ Eagle Road Glide
Denny Smith bought this scooter as a Screamin’ Eagle Road Glide back in the winter of 2001. It featured a blue and silver paint scheme, which Denny nor his wife were fond of, so things had to change. Denny took the bike straight to his shop, stripped the bike down and then sent all the parts to the legendary Scott Thomas for a makeover. Denny wanted a red paint scheme, old time hot rod flames, and of course Scott was up to the challenge. Next up, the stock wheels had to go, so they were replaced with a set of 18” billet wheels. The exhaust was upgraded, and the suspension was lowered, and Denny rode the machine happily for a few years in this configuration.. . .Page 9

Gailapalooza 2010 - April 3
Gailapalooza is the official kickstart of the Kansas City motorcycle riding season. “This is the party that starts it all!” according to Gail Worth, owner of Gail’s Harley-Davidson in Grandview, Missouri. (Of course, some of us don’t have a ‘riding season’, we just ride; but Gailapalooza is definitely one heck of a spring party!). . .Page 12

Days spent researching the right seat and saddlebags; minutes spent buying the cheapest insurance
Once upon a time, you had to convince your parents it was OK to spend your savings on your first bike. You called your buddies, searched the classifieds, and stopped by your local dealer. After finding a bike you liked, you kicked the tires, checked out the paint, got your buddy’s opinion, started it up so you could hear it run, and took it for a test ride. . .Page 23

Hard Times
It’s good to be Terry Trimmer. Not only does he get to spend his days as the Parts and Accessories Manager of a Harley-Davidson dealership, the particular dealership is none other than St. Joe Harley-Davidson. Talk about a win-win. Terry has a job that he loves, and he gets to do it for the McCrearys, some of the best and friendliest folks to ever sell the Motor Company’s products. . .Page 27

Heart of America Motorcycle Enthusiasts
19th ANNUAL VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE SHOW
Kansas City, Missouri—June 6, 2010—Vintage motorcycles and vintage airliners in a vintage hanger at a metropolitan airport that was dedicated by Charles Lindberg—quite a gathering place for motorheads, airheads, history buffs, and the occasional out-of-town visitor that ended up at the right place at the right time. . .Page 31

Justin Andrae’s White Ass Honkey
How many of you have fallen in love with a particular bike, purchased said bike, then realized just how many bikes out there are just like yours. Justin Andrae feels your pain. As a matter of fact, so do I. I love my black Street Glide, but you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting one. Justin went with a much rarer model. The Heritage Softail Nostalgia was only produced from 1993 to 1996 in its original incarnation. One would think with a model like this you might have at least a small amount exclusivity. Well, one would be wrong. Justin bought his 1996 FLSTN and was a happy camper for a while. That all changed when a buddy scored an identical FLSTN. Suddenly Justin started noticing scooters like his everywhere. This was just not gonna work. . .Page 35

Goodbye Dennis Hopper
"Dennis introduced me to the world of Pop Art and 'lost' films. We rode the highways of America and changed the way movies were made in Hollywood. I was blessed by his passion and friendship."
~Peter Fonda

Dennis Lee Hopper was born in Dodge City, Kansas in May of 1936. His family moved to Kansas City, Missouri in the mid-40s, and Hopper attended art classes at the Kansas City Art Institute, taught by Thomas Hart Benton, America's foremost mural painter. His family moved to San Diego, California in 1949. Twenty years later, Hopper was 'Billy the Kid' in what is easily the most iconic motorcycle film of all time—"Easy Rider". . . . Page 38

Ralph's New Street King
“Bobbie had a nickel, all his very own – Should he buy some candy, Or an ice cream cone? Should he buy a bubble pipe, Or a boat of wood? Maybe though, thought Bobbie, Some cookies would taste good. . . . Bobbie sat and wondered, Bobbie sat and thought – What would be the NICEST thing, A nickel ever bought?” (©1946 J. A. Jonathan Co. by Frieda Friedman). . . Page 43
