Ahhhh, the warm breezes are upon us now as we roll into the Summer months of 2010. Can you believe that the year is half over already?...time really flies when you’re having fun. Our riding season kicked off a couple of months back with so many great rides & events throughout our region. The best is yet to come though, so if you’re looking for somewhere fun to ride to with your friends or even by yourself, keep your eyes on our Calendar of Events in our print magazine & our Events page online at our website www.thunderroads-virginia.com . Our website calendar is a great way to get the word out about events to our motorcycle communities – it’s FREE & updated daily. Please keep your descriptions as brief as possible because we don’t have room available for the “Readers Digest” versions Only enter your event one time. It will post to the calendar once I approve it, usually within 24 hours of submitting. If you submit an event by the 15th of any given month, your event will appear in the following month’s print magazine. Please make sure that when you’re entering the information, to include the complete address, contact name & phone number. We’ve had several events submitted that do not list a street address or the city that it’s taking place. There may be people that would like to attend but really have no idea of where to go. Keep in mind that our magazine reaches nearly 40K people each month throughout Virginia & surrounding states. You & your local buddies may know where “The Road HOG Bar” is, but people from outside your area won’t have a clue without an address & a city.

As things heat up out there, we’d like to remind you all to do your safety checks before you hit the roads. It’s no fun getting stuck on the side of a roadway with a flat tire, no gas or a broken down bike. Please be safe to & from wherever your travels may take you. We’re doing what we can to help make the roads a safer place for our motorcycle communities by bringing more awareness to non riders to Share the Road. Please keep those Hot Shots coming in too…we love them! Thanks for joining us & we look forward to seeing you all out on the road sometime soon! May all your days be filled with lots of Peace, Love & Happiness always. Until next time…

Happy Trails

Proud To Be An American

JPAC continued from May 2010 issue In honor of the sacrifice made by the individuals whose remains were recovered during a recovery mission, JPAC holds an arrival ceremony with a joint service honor guard and senior officers from each service. Veterans, community members and local active-duty military often at-tend the ceremonies to pay their respects as the remains are transport-ed from a U.S. military plane to JPAC’s Central Identification Laboratory. Please note that this schedule is subject to change.Fiscal Year 2010 Arrival Ceremony Tentative Schedule

Arrival ceremonies are held at 9 a.m. in Hangar 35, Hickam Air Force Base, to honor fallen U.S. personnel whose identi-ties remain unknown. Following the ceremony, the remains of these fallen Americans will be transported to the JPAC Central Identification Laboratory where the forensic identification process begins. Once identifications are established, the names will be announced following the notification of next-of-kin. Source: http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/


Hokie Friends:After the tragedy of April 16, 2007, Frank Salzano, a graduate of the Class of 1983 Civil Engineering at Virginia Tech

wanted to give back something to the Hokie Community to show his support. He had his 2007 Harley Davidson Electra Glide Classic painted in a custom VT paint theme and then organized an annual ride to Blacksburg to help raise aware-ness and funds for the Va Tech Foundation ’32 Named Memorial Endowments Fund’. This endowment provides funds in the names of each of the 32 victims for deserving students to attend Va Tech, thereby forever perpetuating the names of those lost on that fateful day in April 2007. Our goal is to raise a minimum of $100,000 in memory of each of those lost on April 16 2007.

The rides have become an annual event on the last Saturday in April. More than one hundred sixty bikes rode to Virginia Tech in 2009 and over 200 in 2010. Each rider is asked to donate $32 that will go to the “32 Named Memorial Endow-ments”. The motorcycle procession leaves Manassas and Richmond Virginia at 8 am and makes several stops including Charlottesville, Shenandoah Harley Davidson near Staunton, VA for lunch, and arriving in Blacksburg around 3:30 p.m. A short ceremony is held on the VA Tech Drill Field where all donations are given to the VA Tech Foundation. Afterwards, dinner and raffles are held at New River Valley Harley Davidson in Christiansburg, Va.

We are asking VA Tech alumni, our local business partners, and friends to provide a small donation which will also help ensure deserving students receive necessary financial aid while preserving the memory of those lost on April 16, 2007

Checks may be written to the “Va Tech Foundation” (VT tax id# 540721690). All proceeds from the ride go directly to the endowments fund. Hogs4hokies tax id# 270268618. www.hogs4hokies.org

Have you ever sneezed while riding? Most of us, if not all of us, have. Spring time allergies affect thousands of individuals every season. Some are more prone than oth-ers and do suffer miserably. It also seems that the older we get, the more we notice the uncomfortable symptoms of seasonal allergies. Of course, many of us suffer from other allergies as well. Things such as pet dander, mold, house dust, cigarette/cigar smoke, and so on. My own Father is allergic to some alcoholic beverages such as beer and wine. Some symptoms of seasonal allergies are, (And I need not mention this to those who suffer) headaches, especially the frontal section, nasal drain-age, sinus pressure, tearing of the eyes, dry throat and mouth, tiredness, weakness, mild sore throat, and even mild flu like symptoms in severe cases. Springtime seems to be the worst for most, due to all that lovely pollen flying around in the air, and if you are riding and enjoying the beautiful spring temps and scenes, you are most likely sucking it right in your respiratory system. Of course, if you are like me, you are going to suffer the consequences to get in a good ride. There are some measures you can take to minimize or relieve the affects. One way is just not go out in it, yeah right! You can wear a paper respirator or cover your mouth and nose with a bandana. There are also many over the counter and prescription meds you can take to relieve those nasty symptoms. There are many on the market and they basi-cally all have the same warnings and side effects. I am not going to suggest any that is better than the other, you must talk to your personal doc and he will help figure out which one works best for you. There are several catego-ries of meds to choose from, Oral Antihistamines (taken by mouth), Nasal Antihistamines, Decongestants (oral and nasal), Nasal Sprays nonsteroid types and Nasal Sprays steroid types. Like mentioned above, they all work well, however, most all of them share one motorcy-cle riding negative side effect, Drowsiness. Some parts of the country and other parts of the world, do not share the severity of seasonal allergens as we do here in the Mid-West. However, that does not mean that you cannot suffer from other types of allergies as mentioned above. If you think you may be suffering from some type of aller-gies, and then, by all means, see your personal doc. If he can suggest or prescribe something that will make your ride that much more enjoyable, who would not want that? After a long cold winter, nice weather is finally here. Ride safe, ride free, and please take care of the children.

A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insur-ance and HMO paperwork, and was burned out. Hoping to try another career where skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to become a mechanic. He went to the local technical college, signed up for evening classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could.When the time of the prac-tical exam approached, the gynecologist prepared carefully for weeks, and completed the exam with tremendous skill. When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of 150%. Fearing an error, he called the Instructor, saying, “I don’t want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wonder if there is an error in the grade?” “The instructor said, “During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark. You put the engine back together again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark.” After a pause, the instructor added, “I gave you an extra 50% because you did it all through the muffler, which I’ve never seen done in my entire career”.

A little old lady from Wisconsin had worked in and around her family dairy farm since she was old enough to walk, with hours of hard work and little compensation. When canned Carnation Milk became available in grocery stores in ap-proximately the 1940s, she read an advertisement offering $5,000 for the best slogan. The producers wanted a rhyme beginning with ‘Carnation Milk’ is best of all. She thought to herself, I know all about milk and dairy farms, I can do this! She sent in her entry, and several weeks later, a black limo pulled up in front of her house. A man got out and said, ‘Carnation LOVED your entry so much, we are here to award you $2,500. even though we will not be able to print it, it was a purely genius marketing slogan”. “Carnation milk is best of all, no tits to pull, no hay to haul, no buckets to wash, no shit to pitch, just poke a hole in the little son-of-a-bitch.”

A 3-year-old boy examined his testicles while taking a bath. ‘Mom’, he asked, ‘Are these my brains?’ She quietly replied, ‘Not yet!’

Business Slogan of The Year: If our service is not up to your standards - Please lower your standards.

A woman and a man are involved in a car accident on a snowy, cold Monday morning; it’s a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished, but amazingly neither of them is hurt. God works in mysterious ways. After they crawl out of their cars, the man is yelling about women drivers.The woman says, ‘So, you’re a man. That’s interesting. I’m a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There’s nothing left, but we’re unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should be friends and live in peace for the rest of our days.’Flattered, the man replies, ‘Oh yes, I agree completely, this must be a sign from God! But you’re still at fault...women shouldn’t be allowed to drive.’ The woman continues, ‘And look at this, here’s another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn’t break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune. She hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it and drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle, puts the cap back on and hands it back to the man.The man asks, ‘Aren’t you having any?’ The woman replies, ‘No. I think I’ll just wait for the police...’

Celibacy can be a choice in life, or a condition imposed by unforeseen circumstances. While attending a Marriage Weekend, my wife and I listened to the instructor declare, ‘It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other..” He then addressed the men,‘Can you name and describe your wife’s favorite flower?’I leaned over, touched my wife gently, and whispered,‘Gold Medal-All-Purpose, isn’t it?’ And thus began my life of celibacy....

Two young boys; R.J. and M.B. walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter. Mr. Empson, the owner & Pharmacist, asked the older boy, “Son, how old are you?” “Eight,” R.J. proudly replied. Mr. Empson continued, “Do you know what these are used for?” R.J. replied, “not exactly, but they aren’t for me. They’re for him. He’s my brother, M.B., he’s four. We saw on TV that if you use these you would be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now, he can’t do either one.”

Harley Hop-Up by Kirby ApathyThis month we’ll go over checking your heads & setting up for largercams. From the calls we’re getting, a lot of riders are doing this now(really should be a winter job, but whatever).First make sure the cam willcompliment your present build or the build you are planning. We are not getting into that now, but feel free to call and we’ll help you pick a cam that`ll work with your compression and riding style. Installing a big cam and not checking ALL clearances can have catastroph-ic results if not properly clearanced. First you want to check for coiled bind, this is when the cam is trying to open valve more than your springs will allow, and the spring compresses all the way, and still has more to go. This will result in a broken spring or rocker arm. To check this, get 2 flat pieces of metal and compress spring(with collars) in a vise, close vise until spring is all the way compressed without forcing it (pic 1).Measure that, for this example, we are using SE EVO heads & springs & a S&S .561 cam. The coil bind measurement on these springs is 1.159,add the cam lift (.561)and your desired clearance(.060) for a

total of 1.780.Now insert valve in guide with top & bottom collars, no spring, and pull valve up against seat, measure the distance between collars (pic 2),it has to be 1.780 or greater, if it ALOT more, you can use spring shims to get closer to your desired installed height. Next, will be checking valve to valve. To check this you must look on your cams spec sheet for the TDC lift, on our cam, its .252 int/.210 ext. insert both valves in head, and pull up so their on the seats, take a majic marker and mark each valve with the TDC lift (pic 3)leaving the old seal on will help to hold the valves without slipping, open the valves to the TDC marks and measure clearance between valve heads (pic 4),your looking for .060 minimum. Now valve to piston must be checked, with the valves still opened to your TDC lifts, put a straight edge across the head gasket surface (pic 5),if the valves are not protruding beyond that you most likely wont have a problem with most pistons, but still should be checked. To do this, open each valve to TDC lift + .060(no springs, just seal holding valves),put head on cylinder with out a head gasket, no head bolts and crank motor slowly by hand, if neither valve makes contact you fine,if contact is made, check it with a gasket, if contact is still made valve will close a little, measure to your TDC mark and that’s the amount that valve will either have to be sunk deeper in the seat or piston valve relief will have to be machined, some builders will check this with clay and springs on, we’ve seen people actually bend valves doing it this way. These are the tools you will need to check this stuff (pic 6)We and most shops will use special tools to check these clearances(pic 7),but this is a very accurate way for the home builder to make the proper checks, and these methods will work with any HD heads. If you have any question, feel free to contact us.

News BytesMOTORCYCLIST FATALITIES INEXPLICABLY PLUMMET Following more than a decade of steady increases, motor-cycle rider fatalities unaccountably dipped by double-digit proportions last year. Motorcyclist deaths dropped by 16% nationwide through the first three quarters of 2009, com-pared to the same period in 2008 when fatalities reached their highest level of 5,290. The study -- sponsored by the Governors Highway Safety Association, which represents state traffic safety agencies -- is drawn from preliminary fatality data from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. While there is nothing in the data to indicate the cause of the sudden decline, the GHSA asked state safety agen-cies to speculate on reasons for the decline, and several respondents pointed to the economy and underscored that a significant portion of motorcycling is for recreation rather than transportation. Other reasons cited in the study for the decline: Fewer beginning motorcyclists; an increase in priority given to state motorcycle safety programs; an increased awareness of motorcycles by other drivers; and colder, wetter weather in some states during the riding sea-son. It doesn’t appear helmet laws played a significant role in the decline. The popularity of motorcycles has surged in the past decade, particularly among aging baby boom-ers and women, nearly doubling to more than 10 million. During the nine-month period of the comparison, the District and 38 states reported a drop in motorcycle deaths, and 12 states recorded an increase. California had 133 fewer deaths, Florida had 111 fewer and Ohio had 48 fewer. Only two states -- Hawaii and Rhode Island -- had double-digit increases. Once numbers for the final three months of 2009 are factored in, the report projects, the annual fatality decline will be at least 10%.

AGING RIDERS AT HIGHER RISKMotorcycle riders across the country are growing older, and the impact of this trend is evident in emergency rooms nationwide as doctors are finding that senior citizens who ride motorcycles are more likely to be involved in accidents and also more likely to be injured or die than their younger counterparts. Researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center found that half of all motorcyclists needing emergency treatment in 2005 were over 40, nearly double the number in 1996, which is consistent with demographic data indicating that the average age of motorcycle owner-ship has rose from 33 years in 1998 to 40 years in 2003. In-jury severity, length of stay in the hospital or intensive care unit, and mortality were higher for riders over the age of 40. 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 motorcycle crash between 1996 and 2005. Those ages 50-59 were the fastest grow-

ing group involved with crashes, and accidents involving rid-ers in that age group were almost twice as likely to be fatal as those involving younger bikers. “Treating a 60-year-old who has been in a motorcycle accident is very different from treating a 21-year-old who has been in a similar accident -- 60-year-olds bring a lot more medical baggage with them and impact outcomes,” Dr. Mark Gestring, director of the trauma program at the Medical Center. Age-related factors associated with aging, such as impaired vision, delayed reaction time, and altered balance contribute to motorcycle crashes in this population. The increase in injury severity for older riders may be related to the reduced capacity to withstand injury as the body ages, including decreases in bone strength and brain size, as well as pre-existing medi-cal conditions.

NATURALISTIC MOTORCYCLE SAFETY STUDY The Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) has announced that it will partner with the Virginia Tech Transportation Insti-tute (VTTI) on the world’s first motorcycle safety study that will use small video recorders and instrumentation mounted on numerous bikes for 6-18 months to gather data about the riders and events that occur. Termed a “naturalistic” study, VTTI has developed this technology and used it suc-cessfully to conduct a 100-car study in 2005 that included 69 crashes and more than 750 near-crashes. According to the MSF, “The method is presently in use by research-ers across the globe to target nearly every type of roadway user, with the exception of two-wheeled vehicles. This study, expected to be on the road by early 2011, will greatly advance the understanding of interactions among rider, motorcycle, roadway, other roadway users and the environ-ment.” VTTI Director Tom Dingus added that “We expect the study to be very valuable to the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s work, since we also will examine where and how crash avoidance is successful. With so much informa-tion bandwidth coming from the cameras and instrumenta-tion on each bike, we’ll be able to examine details for years, and the findings will be relevant for decades.” Naturalistic Method identifies crashes using time-series video and numeric data, reveals factors not detectable through crash investigation, creates its own controls by comparing the crash-involved rider to himself/herself at all other times, and permits quantification of rider performance and behavior in non-critical and critical riding situations.

PATRIOT GUARD RIDERS BARRED FROM MINERS MEMORIAL Many of the 29 West Virginia coal miners who died at the Upper Big Branch mining explosion on April 5th were veterans and some rode motorcycles, so bereaved families had requested the Patriot Guard Riders to attend


News Bytesthe memorial service. PGR is an informal group of motorcy-clists which exists to make sure that all veterans are given respectful funerals. But they were barred from attending this service by federal officials who labeled them a security threat. The appearance of the Patriot Guard Riders at the service, at the request of several families, had been cleared in advance by West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin, who is also a motorcycle rider. But the day before the service, Joe Cumblidge, the West Virginia State Captain of the Patriot Guard Riders e-mailed the men who were scheduled to par-ticipate: “Due to circumstances totally and completely be-yond the control of the Patriot Guard Riders and Governor Joe Manchin of West Virginia, we are regrettably ordering a STAND DOWN for this mission. Specific details will not be posted here but, we’ve been told we are not welcome to participate because of certain high-level dignitaries that are scheduled to be in attendance.” The “high-level dignitar-ies” were President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. A Patriot Guard Rider told WSAZ in Charleston that Manchin had been forbidden to allow them to participate “because of overwhelming security concerns with high-ranking federal officials -- it was just not logistically possible for them to be a part of the event.” Both Obama and Biden managed to escape West Virginia unharmed.

LEGAL CHALLENGES TO MICHIGAN HELMET LAWSeveral members of ABATE of Michigan rode to the Lenawee County judicial building on Tuesday, April 20th to show support for a fellow motorcyclist who is challenging a non-compliant helmet ticket. Ryan Hildebrand, 26, is one of nearly a dozen riders ticketed this spring by Adrian police Sgt. Lynn Courington for wearing helmets that the state claims do not meet federal Department of Transportation standards. Representing the group of ticketed riders is Aid to Injured Motorcyclists (A.I.M.) attorney Lawrence “Kat-man” Katkowsky, who filed an appearance for the helmet defendant. A formal hearing was set for June 29 in district court, and Katkowsky said he will try to consolidate all the helmet infraction cases that are being challenged for the June 29 hearing. “The issues are all the same,” he said. He is taking on the helmet enforcement issue in Lenawee County on behalf of ABATE of Michigan, which also has a lawsuit pending in United State District Court in Grand Rapids, challenging the state’s DOT helmet rule. One of the enforcement issues Katkowsky will raise is regarding probable cause to justify a traffic stop on a civil infraction. ABATE claims in the lawsuit that police have to look inside a helmet to determine if it meets DOT standards, and there-fore cannot claim plain sight evidence to justify a traffic stop and request to inspect a helmet. No trial date is scheduled.

ANGRY FRENCH MOTORCYCLISTS SNARL TRAFFIC IN PROTEST Forty thousand motorcyclists demonstrated all over France in protest of a recent Government announce-ment to fine any bikers caught filtering through traffic (“lane splitting”), and more than 60 cities saw their roads blocked by hordes of angry riders who said NON to French authori-ties who propose to treat motorbikes, scooters and mopeds like cars and require them to stay in their lane one behind another. So, they behaved like cars. On March 13th the La Fédération Française Des Motards en Colère (FFMC - the French Federation of Angry Bikers) urged all motor-cyclists to occupy the space of one car in each lane, and within minutes an enormous traffic jam was created that gridlocked the whole of Paris on a busy Saturday afternoon as car drivers were stuck in traffic until late in the evening. While bikers blocked the roadways above ground, other protestors went underground bringing the subway system to a grinding halt in response to a statement made by French Transport Secretary Jean-Marc Belotti, who said “If they (bikers) are not happy, they can take the metro like every-one else.” They inconvenience us, we will inconvenience them, responded the FFMC, which set a fine example of civil obedience to demonstrate the impact of motorcycles on traffic flow, good or bad.

WEIRD NEWS: EASY WRITERS TEXT WHILE RIDINGEveryone knows that texting while driving can be danger-ous. Now consider this: texting while riding a motorcycle, in heavy traffic! It’s not uncommon in Vietnam, where 29 million motorcycles are the primary source of transportation. Pham Thi Thuy Linh is 21, a college student and -- accord-ing to a recent contest sponsored by a mobile phone com-pany -- has the fastest fingers in Vietnam. She can text 160 characters in 25 seconds, though she admits she is “about 20 or 30 percent slower texting on my bike.” She doesn’t much care that texting while driving is both illegal and not too smart. Tran Van Thanh is a senior official in the govern-ment’s office of traffic safety. He told National Public Radio that understands the concerns about texting while driving, but says peoples’ bad habits will take time to change, and with limited resources it’s impossible to crack down on everyone for everything. Meanwhile, contest-winner Pham says she can’t wait to get one of the new iPhone packages. She says it will enable her to text even faster than she does now, from everywhere -- including her bike.

Greetings in the Name of our Mighty Lord, I hope this finds everyone well and into the riding season. Things have been so busy around here that I haven’t hardly had time to take a breath. Our church had our annual Crusin’ for Jesus #2 on April 24th, but we didn’t do so good. We had great food, great music, great fellowship but only three motorcycles to bless, mine, my husbands and our cousin, Benny. But we did raise a little money to help the Alpha House. Next year we are planning the first Charlie Crutchfield Memorial Poker Run right before the rally, so I believe things will be better next year. I have only been riding my Harley for 3 years now and on April 17th, I rode in my first poker run with the Dinwiddie County Chamber of Commerce. We all met at our church and headed to Colonial Harley for the registration. I had been asked again this year to do the prayer and blessing before the ride. So off we go... in the rain. We hit I85 at Route 1 and about half the way there, the rain started coming down hard. I had my clear glasses on with no headstrap. My glasses kept on sliding down my nose and a few times I almost lost them. I couldn’t see and I had to keep pushing my glasses back up. Cars were passing me along with big trucks. Do I stop? Do I pull over? Do I keep going? What do I do? Help me, Lord!!!! My husband was behind me wondering what in the world I was doing. I got really scared a few times, so I started praying, “Lord, I am so scared. Please help me get there safe so I can lift You up in prayer before the ride. Protect me, Lord.” And then I started praising Him and telling that storm, “Peace, be still.” I told that storm that my Lord gives me the same authority as He had when He walked this earth. And when He told that storm to stop and be still, it obeyed. So, I expect it to obey me, too, in the Name of Jesus. There is power in the Name of Jesus. Evil must step back from His Name, and storms too! I really had not thought about what I was going to say before the poker run. Then, just when the rain seemed to be coming down the hardest, I heard “When you are going through the worst storms, keep your eyes focused on Me and I will pull you through.” That is exactly what I did. I kept on praising the name of our Mighty Savior and I made it through. We face many storms in life. Some are big storms with heavy rain and some are small with light showers. In all the storms, we need to keep our focus on Jesus’ face. If we put our faith and trust in Him, we will always make it through to the other side, with Jesus’ help and guidance. When you look up and see the grey clouds,

always know that there is “sonshine” behind those clouds, somewhere. Well, that old storm obeyed my demand and it stopped raining as we pulled in Colonial Harley. And I told His message to my fellow bikers as we were getting ready to leave and then we prayed. I thanked Him for that message and for protecting me and my friends in this ride. We left for the poker run and about half the way to the first stop, I felt His warmth as the sun came from around the dark clouds and brightened up my surroundings. His light can and will fill up all your darkness. He can be your “guiding light” just like He was to me. Put your trust in Him today, don’t wait. Oh yea, cousin Benny loaned me his goggles with the head strap to finish the poker run with. Until next time, love ya’ll and I am a...New Creation Pastor T

Who would’ve thought???...Helpful Tip to protect yourself - WASP SPRAY It’s inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than mace or pepper spray. The cans typically can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. Keep it near your in your car, next to your bed or door. By spraying it in their eyes, the wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote & it will give you a chance to call the police, maybe get out, maybe even save a life.

Chris Calaprice is in the fight of his life. He gets up every day and heads off to battle on a Purple Victory Vision. His crusade will take him 42,000 miles, touching all 50 states. The mileage is significant because it represents the number of other Americans who will be unwillingly drafted into the same war that Chris is fighting. More than 30,000 of them will die during their first year of this fight, and only a handful will still be standing in 5 years. Chris himself was drafted more than six years ago when his doctor told him that cancer was attacking his pancreas.“Suddenly I was faced with much of my life being gone, or at least out of reach,” Chris says as he reflects on the adrenaline-soaked life he led before the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Chris was now looking at a new way of life. Chemotherapy would replace his legacy of rock climbing, skydiving, bungee jumping and ocean diving. Then he found motorcycles, and realized it was a way to get back to living again.

“I had some kind of outlet for all of the fear and the angst and the things that were going on with my disease,” he says. “To be able to go out to the garage and fire up the bike even if I’m fairly weak, as long as I can hold the bike up and twist the throttle, I can ride. Even if it’s for an hour or two, or if it’s for all day, I’m in control of that.”Chris is also in control of his pancreatic cancer, thanks to surgeries, powerful chemo treatments every 2 months, and a daily cocktail of drugs that cost more than $5,000 a week. The disease has the highest mortality rate of any cancer, and only lung cancer claims more lives. When Chris and his wife Jennifer found out that pancreatic cancer only receives two percent of the money the National Cancer Institute spends on research, they knew they had to do something.“Someone needs to go outside the box and shake America up a little bit,” is how Chris puts it. Their action came in the form of a nationwide bike ride to raise awareness of the disease, and to help raise money for research. “We came up with the idea that we would go out and do a whistle stop tour.”

Exactly how to do the tour came to Chris one sleepless night at their home in Santa Barbara, California. In the morning, he said to Jennifer, “What do you think about renting out our house, moving into an RV and getting on a bike and going to all 50 states? I really expected, ‘Have you lost your damn mind?’ But what I got was, ‘That’s brilliant! Let’s do it!’”With support from Victory Motorcycles, they are doing just that. Their purple 5th wheeler houses them, as well as camera equipment and the bikes when they aren’t riding.They have touched a nerve in the biking community, and Chris places the credit squarely on the shoulders of our kind. “I’ve never met people who gave more and made less than riders,” he says. “Every rider I

know goes out and does some kind of charity ride at least three or four times a year, and most of us do a lot more.”Their run through West Virginia included a stop in Philippi, where Thunder Roads West Virginia caught up with them. This is the 14th state they have traveled through, and plan to hit the remaining 36 by year’s end. Their travels, along with Chris’ chemo treatments, are being documented by photographer Andy Madison, and can be followed on their website at www.road2Acure.org.The Calaprices aren’t just out there trying to raise money. Visits with other pancreatic cancer patients are also a big part of what they do. For a disease that claims most of its victims within a year of diagnosis, Chris offers hope. “When people see Chris, a survivor for six and a half years, it changes their world,” says Jennifer. “We thought it would affect people. But we’ve since heard from people, ‘Oh, no. There’s not affecting going on. There’s absolute change!’ Chris has been asked if he’s giving false hope, and we’ve talked about it a lot. We don’t think there’s any such thing. Because without hope…you’re dead.”“I’ve learned a lot about the quality of life,” reflects Chris as he thinks about his chats with other pancreatic cancer survivors. “It’s the quality of the days that we have. If we have hope, and if we have a positive outlook, it doesn’t matter how many days you’re here. We have a chance to have quality in those days.”He has learned this, Chris says, through his contact with the motorcycle community. “There’s something about the motorcyclist’s spirit,” Chris says. Jennifer jumps in to define that “something” in a single word. “Real,” is how she puts it. “Until Chris started riding the bike, I had never been familiar with bikers. I was in with a room full of bikers and we were educating them and making them aware of pancreatic cancer, and it felt comfortable. It felt like home. It felt real.”The physical prognosis for Chris, he says, is “grim”. He has already beaten the odds by many years but points out, “This game will never be over.” Thanks to the continuous treatments and positive attitude about living life each and every day, his psychological outlook is anything but grim. And don’t count out the effect motorcycling has had on him. “Don’t park the bike in the garage because you have cancer,” he advises. “It’s given me a lot of freedom back,” Chris Calaprice says of riding this nation on a bike. “It’s given me a peace that I don’t get anywhere else.”

I recently took a class at a conference on the parking of vehicles on highways and roadways during an emer-gency situation. It was extremely informative, these types of classes usually are. During one of the many videos that we viewed during the class, I noticed that there was a motorcycle police officer that was working an accident on a busy suburban boulevard, along with other emergency vehicles on the scene. Many emergency vehicles are the target of secondary collisions at the original accident
