Q’s Chunk of the Road The Busted Knuckle Chronicles Q’s Chunk of the Road By Quentin Kerfoot [email protected] Occupy Whatever This whole global movement seems flawed on so many levels. Although they say it’s peaceful and no laws or regulations are being broken, the very fact they are taking over public land and claiming it as their own is wrong. Never mind the fire, health and safety regulations being breached. 44th Edition • Vol. 9 • Page 3 If they put half as much energy into bettering themselves and their situation as they do for this Occupy initiative they would move forward and see a shift in their quality of life. Possibly not as quickly and dramatically as they would like, but more realistic results than they hoping for now. Reality can often be an ugly thing, especially when you have been sheltered from it. Which brings up the question, are their parents responsible for over sheltering their children to the point where they now find themselves?

He had no trouble with discipline that year.  Submitted by Rick Young, Kamloops BC Crime of Passion On the first day of class, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in the school. In Italy, a woman comes home and finds her husband in bed with another woman. She takes a gun and shoots her husband, killing him. At her trial for murder, she tells the judge that she is relying on the defense of “Crime of Passion”. The smart-alecky punks, having already heard the new teacher was a former Marine, were leery of him and decided to see how tough he really was, before trying any pranks. The judge says, “But Ma’am, a �Crime of Passion’ defense means that you have found your husband in bed with another woman, and you have shot and killed the woman.” Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, the new teacher opened the window wide and sat down at his desk. She replies “Yes, your honor, but this way I only have to use the gun once.” Joseph Garrie, Ontario The Busted Knuckle Chronicles BC Events / Wyzwmn©’s Words Wyzwmn©’s Words to the Wise Our New Home: wyzwmn.com beltdrivebetty.com/wyzwmnswords Irish Playwrite Wisdom Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend’s success. – Oscar Wilde Poetic Wisdom There are more fools in the world than there are people. – Heinrich Heine Author Wisdom By the time a man realizes that this father was right he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong. – Charles Wordsworth Artist Wisdome I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it. – Pablo Picasso Work Wisdome It’s not the hours put in at work that counts, it’s the work you put in the hours. – Sam Ewing 44th Edition • Vol. 9 • Page 5 The Busted Knuckle Chronicles BC Finances Gifting Shares... DAVID PAGE, CFP. CSA. CDFA. Sr. Exec. Financial Consultant a tax effective strategy for giving while living You may be at the point in your life where you are considering gifting assets to a charitable organization, to support your community and to leave a lasting legacy. Gifting to charity while you are living can offer significant benefits to your estate. As you consider your options, you might think about gifting publicly traded securities to your charity of choice. Donating “in-kind” is a more tax-effective way to donate to a non-profit organization than selling your securities and donating the cash proceeds. Why? Thanks to an amendment to Canada’s Income Tax Act in 2006, you do not owe tax on any capital gains realized on securities donated to a charitable organization or public foundation. This is because the inclusion rate on the capital gains of your securities is 0% instead of the normal 50%. So, whether you donate the cash proceeds from the sale of securities or the securities themselves, your charitable donation receipt is for the same amount, but for securities donated in-kind, the tax owing on the capital gain is eliminated. For example, say you want to donate to the proceeds of mutual funds valued at $100,000 to a registered charity. If the adjusted cost base for this investment is calculated at $40,000, this means that the unrealized capital gain on your investment is $60,000. If you redeem those mutual funds and donate the cash proceeds, the taxable gains amount is 50% x $60,000 = $30,000. You would be required to pay tax on the $30,000. However, if you donate the mutual funds to the charity directly, then the taxable gains amount is 0% x 44th Edition • Vol. 9 • Page 6 $60,000 = $0. Your charitable donation receipt is for the same amount – $100,000, which is the fair market value of the gift. So the advantage is clear. What is a publicly traded security for donation purposes? Any of the following: • shares, rights or debt obligations (typically bonds or debentures) listed on a prescribed stock exchange (this includes both Canadian and foreign listed exchanges); • shares of the capital stock of a Canadian public mutual fund corporation; • units of a Canadian mutual fund trust; • an interest in a segregated fund trust; and •government bonds. This 0% inclusion rate on the capital gain is also available when donations are made after the taxpayer’s death, that is, for gifts provided for in the will. The Income Tax Act was also amended in 2007 with respect to gifts of publicly traded securities made on or after March 19, 2007 to private foundations. The capital gains inclusion rate is also 0% in these cases. If you are thinking of giving while living, ensure you do it in the context of your overall financial plan and retirement goals.

After weeks of speculation as to where the two-time MX1 Champ would end up, the questions can stop!
It is with tremendous excitement that KTM Canada announces the addition of Colton Facciotti to the 2012 & 2013 team roster.

 KTM Canada is looking to put their riders on top of the podium next season and Colton Facciotti has proven time and again that he has what it takes to do it with consistency. “More than ever, KTM’s focus
is on the motocross market” mentions Florian Burguet, KTM Canada General Manager. “Our 2012 SX product line up and our business attitude are now perfectly aligned for successful results. At a time when
other motorcycle companies may question their involvement in racing, KTM means to do the opposite and reinforces its commitment to winning” adds Burguet.

 Colton will make a unique addition to the team, aboard his 2012 KTM 450 SX-F. He has a wealth of experience in Canada as well as in the United States. KTM Racing Manager Andy White comments: “Just like in the US with De Coster, Dungey, Roczen and Musquin, our new Canadian team will respect a non-compromise racing approach. We will be extremely victory-driven and Colton is definitely the first step in building a complete championship team.”

 After testing his new 450 ride, Colton is equally as excited as the rest of the team stating “I am ready for
my new challenges and can’t wait for the first moto gate to drop this summer. I will definitely be working
hard to bring home a first MX1 championship for the KTM team.”

The team training will be supervised by 5-time Canadian National Champion Jean-Sebastien Roy (JSR)
who will now operate as Athlete Manager.

The rest of the KTM team will be completed and communicated shortly. Don’t miss anything and stay

The Busted Knuckle Chronicles AB / Thunder LIzard Report Goodwill Among ALL Men? S o, I’ve been wondering for a while now... where did the concept of “goodwill Thunder among all men” go to, anyhow? Oh, yeah, we sing about it and Lizard promote it during Christmas... but Report isn’t the intention that we carry it By R. Jeff LeGrand on all year? And if you doubt that it’s being forgotten, go for a drive in rush hour in any major city… I guarantee what you’ll find is far more “ME ME ME ME ME” than you will find “oh, sorry, did you need this lane? Here, let me make room for you”. It’s kind of a recurring theme, this selfishness, but somehow it seems like it’s something we’re forced into. I’ve never agreed with separatism and I never will, however as a Canadian, I definitely see the point of the Quebecois who want to preserve the Francophone 44th Edition • Vol. 9 • Page 9 culture. It’s a fantastic part of our culture and history, and it does need to be kept alive. As more and more people from other lands arrive, it seems that our innate Canadian politeness causes our governing bodies to water down Canada and what it is to be Canadian in order to not offend our newer Canadians. Let me say that it’s the experiences I have that cause me to write what I do... it’s not just random opinion. I was honestly asked this week if I felt that it was fair to my non-Christian customers that we will be closed so much at Christmas. I replied that I did not expect them to work if they chose not to, or to come in and spend money on their own holidays, so yes, I did think it was fair. The kicker is that I was asked this by someone who was born and raised in Calgary, and is of a white, anglo-saxon (catholic) background. That’s what bugged me... we’re second guessing ourselves now. We’re so concerned about not being rude that we give up everything and anything we have to in order to keep other people happy. If you compare this relationship to a marriage, ask someone what they think about that... A marriage wherein one person gives up everything they have and are in order to please the other person... it will be labeled something like “dysfunctional” faster than you can tell the Owners & Presenters Copyright © Canadian National Sportsmen’s Shows (1989) Ltd. All rights reserved. Show content subject to change. The Busted Knuckle Chronicles AB / Thunder LIzard Report story. Now, I don’t think someone has to abandon their own culture and beliefs because they moved to a new place... far from it. That diversity is part of what makes Canada beautiful. What I don’t like is when I’m told that we’re not doing something anymore, or doing some different thing, simply because people who have moved here from other lands, or people who grew up elsewhere don’t want to do it the Canadian way. We’re IN CANADA, eh? “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”, (a saying attributed to St. Ambrose from something like 18 centuries ago), doesn’t mean “give up your identity when you go somewhere”, it means “respect the people of the places you go, and understand that when you are in their land, you should try to live as they do, inasmuch as you can”. When you move to Canada, understand that you have not brought your entire culture with you, no matter how many of you there are. Yes, your culture is beautiful too, add it to the mix, use it to enhance and expand the Canadian experience... but please, don’t ask me to put aside what I believe in, what I think of as my culture, in order to accommodate you. When I go to your land, I will do the same.. I will respect the rules and way of life, and not force my beliefs on you. It’s a respect thing, if you ask me. Yes, the “holiday party” thing instead of “Christmas Party” is part of what I mean... it’s just ridiculous. I am not a religious person... however, we celebrated Christmas long before I was born, and I thought we would celebrate it long after I’m gone... but now I wonder. I have to admit, also, that as I see our Canadian identity slipping into vanilla boringness, my good will towards all men slides a bit. I will, given the option, respect the history and beliefs of pretty much anyone I meet, and I make it a point to give them room to enjoy their lifestyle as they see fit. But when I start getting TOLD that I “have to” do that? Screw off. I hate being told what to do. And it’s not really much of “goodwill” if it’s mandated and made into laws and we’re forced into it, is it? So, as the government makes law after law to “protect” people from each other, they take away our option to find a balance on our own. Maybe that’s why we have so much trouble getting along these days... because we’re out of practice, we’re too used to letting the government do it for us. So, again this year I will do what I always do. I walk around, telling anyone and everyone “Merry Christmas” as it’s required or warranted- regardless of whom I’m saying it to. 44th Edition • Vol. 9 • Page 10 KEI Storage Solutions Inc.

A brave, bundled up, and somber group of bikers,  friends, and family from different parts of Saskatchewan and Alberta, gathered at Harley-Davidson of Medicine Hat to honor a man that had been part of this motorcycle community for years. th This man was a brother to many, a father, a neighbor, and a friend to all.

Gift giving doesn›t have to be pricey just thoughtful, if you can›t afford a bottle of Chanel choose the soap, powder or body lotion, most counters wrap those little boxes so sweet and you›ve just given a piece of Chanel! That’s if you like shopping! It’s that time of year again! The gift-giving season… Do you roam the streets looking for that perfect gift? We all have someone special to buy for and then there’s that person who has everything! It got me to thinking about using our imaginations rather then our pocket books to give gifts. Here are a few clever ideas... if you dare! Everyone needs a new shower curtain, the clear ones are kinda fun ; ) then add in some great smelling shower gel and a fancy new body puff scrubby thing. For the friend who likes to cook how about a delish body butter in vanilla frosting wrapped up in a tea towel with a wooden spoon as a bow! New bed pillows with some wonderful sleep inducing pillow mist, let a crisp new pair of pillow cases tied at the top with a ribbon be the wrapping paper! For that girly friend how about a pair of black back seamed stay-ups with some invigorating leg gel! For the friend with the spotless house (ya that one!) a new cute handle kitchen broom and tie a really good quality hand cream to the top of it! Hostess gifts... the token bottle of wine for the hostess that always gets opened by the end of the evening and poof the hostess doesn›t have a gift anymore. Wrap the wine in a great scarf tell her it›s a little something for when she›s feeling chilly, the wine has been saved ... she takes it to her room! Now those gentleman... soap on a rope! Just kidding... Soap on a rope is good for the garage you can hang it around the laundry tub faucet and it doesn›t get slimy. A case of oil always comes in handy wrap it up along with some sturdy work gloves. A great aftershave with some new razors is always a good useful idea. Oh and those working outside tool belt type of men like hand cream... trust me. A cool pair of sunglasses and eye-gel, yes they want eye creams, they just don›t want to open that in front of the family, the sunglasses are the gift but the eye cream is what they really want! If your lost for idea›s email me.... I›ve got a head full useless information just bursting at the bows. One last gift idea, TIME is the best gift you can give anyone... time for just him or her and you.

A flesh wound is treated with whiskey and doo-rag.  By bad Uncle Monkey It would be easy to keep up that mentality but as we get older we know more and more people who are passing away from cancer. I don’t think cancer is a new phenomenon to our society yet each year it seems more and more of my friends are passing away from it. They always put on the brave face at the runs and rallies and nothing is said. It is only later at the funeral months that we find out that the person was struggling with cancer. Some have fought the good fight against cancer and beat it but all to often it is a matter of too little too late when it goes undiagnosed. November has been dubbed Movember (www.movember.com) as men like myself around the world grow a moustache to raise awareness to this problem. In Canada 70 men will be diagnosed with cancer today alone. 1 in 7 will develop prostate cancer and 1 in 4 will lose a battle with cancer. Most of us are realizing that had we known we would live this long we would have taken better care of ourselves. It’s not too late. Changes you and I do today will benefit us down the road. Don’t shrug off symptoms. Talk openly and freely about going to get a check up. Every man is thinking about going but is too shy to go. Break the cycle and talk about going. Take your best friend with you. Take your son, take your dad, take your brother with you. You can do your part by getting a annual physical, quit smoking, being more physically active, lose that spare tire you are carrying around and learn to manage stress. In the mean time you can help out by visiting movember.com and donating at http://mobro.co/ unclemonkey to help with cancer research.

Since the creation of Upper and Lower Canada, which in 1867 united together to become the Nation of Canada; our heartbeat of this nation has come from young men and women, who did the impossible and asked for nothing in return. On countless occasions, it has been the sacrifice of each of these individuals, war of 1812, in Peacekeeping roles, Afghanistan, Korea, WWI, WWII, and the list goes on. As the years have come and gone, our Veterans have given to the Canadian people the ultimate gift by laying their life on the line for this nation. 

 Now, the sense of celebration and pride has tragically disappeared from a few Veterans, who have become a shell of what they once were as a youth. Being replaced with a deep inner stormy battlefield, where each day has become like a person hell, causing a few of these once brave individuals to self medicate with drugs or alcohol. 


 Shockingly in a few cases, these once brave strong Canadian Military Veterans have descended into a daily struggle of homeless, falling through the cracks of society, not aware of the programs in place set by other institutions to help them. And this is where the Vets (Veterans Emergency Transition Service) non-profit social service association, made up by members, who are Veterans/Supporters have stepped up, coming together to help out homeless, Canadian Military Veterans. Originally the VETS (Veterans Emergency Transition Service) non-profit social service association was started in Nova Scotia and is now in parts of Ontario, with hopes of spreading throughout parts Canada, in the future. Through the actions of the VETS (Veterans Emergency non- profit social service association, they are providing the much needed bridge for the homeless Veterans to connect these individuals with the help they desperately require to fill out the proper paperwork, get warm blankets, clothing and others things they need to get back on their feet. 

 Yet none of this would be possible without the help of everyone, who now hails from this great nation of Canada to step up and assist the VETS Canada (Veterans Emergency Transition Service) non-profit social service association, which is 100% volunteers, in whatever way you are able too. As we all need to show these brave homeless Canadian Military Veterans, who are men and women that they are truly home. And out of this we can finally give back to each of these individuals a sense of pride and respect, by helping each of them through their inner stormy battles, as we guide them all to a safe harbor in their lives.

The day started well at the Royal Canadian Legion with a Free breakfast – with donations going to the Children’s Wish Foundation – a total of $500 was raised at the breakfast. As you can well imagine this was somewhat of a dampener to what had been a fantastic day of riding, fellowship and fundraising for two great charities. Riders and passengers soon started to arrive as did the MHPS who at 10:00am told us for the first time we had to leave the premises due to alleged transgression of Alberta Liquor and Gaming laws(AG&L). We managed to get everyone registered and we then departed on our run after everyone had had their photos taken by the undercover police in attendance. At the end of the day thanks to the Fantastic aid of The Royal Canadian Legions in Medicine Hat, Taber, Bow Island, Vauxhall and Redcliff, the generosity of many local Medicine Hat and District business – who we would love to thank but fear for them if we where to name them…. We then proceeded to various Canadian Legions in Bow Island, Taber, Vauxhall and Redcliff where we were met with open arms and NO police. We were served with a great lunch in Taber, a special thanks to the staff there who moved everything outside to accommodate us – so as not to be in contravention of the AG&L Board. It was then back to the Medicine Hat Legion for a free super generously provided by the legion, the prize giving, 50/50 and draws for some fantastic prizes donated by local Medicine Hat businesses. We have again to thank the staff of the Medicine Hat Legion who themselves moved everything out on to the grass in order not to fall foul of the law and be in contravention of the AG&L Board. A decision was taken to move back into the Legion as the temps where in excess of 30C and it was becoming quite uncomfortable for some who had spent a long day in the saddle in the same temps and had put over 350 kms on their rides. We proceeded with the prize giving, and a special thanks must be given to Bullies Bar and Grill who very kindly donated $400 in prize money, $300 for best hand and $100 for the worst hand. The 50/50 prize winner again agreed to donate ALL there winning back to the fund. We then proceeded with the door prize draw and as we were coming to an end it was this time that the MHPS decided they would do a show of force and put those dirty rotten bikers in there correct place. The local organizer was summoned to the front office of the Legion where he was met with some 20+ Police Officers and again told that everyone had fallen foul of the laws and if we were not out of the Legion ASAP we ALL WOULD be arrested with obstruction of justice. We did manage to raise over $3,000.00 for the Soldier on fund and $500.00 for the Children’s wish Foundation. We would also like to thank the many local riders and some from as far away as Washington DC, Vancouver BC, Manitoba and Montana who made this a truly fantastic day despite the efforts of some to spoil it We do intend to do the ride again next year come hell or high water, and we hope we can get more support in our endeavour’s to raise monies for those Military Veterans who need our help and support. From The Depths of File 13 The Busted Knuckle Chronicles A Life Long Love Affair Finally Realized A riding biography by Belt Drive Betty AKA Renee Charbonneau From the Depths of File 13 I have been asked many a time how I came to be the editor of the Busted Knuckle Chronicles. I have also been asked countless times about why I think I have any right to write about the motorcycle community and where I get my opinions and values, so I thought I would share with you a bit of my history…. My love affair with all things motorized began at the tender age of two – the first time my dad took me to the oval track in Toronto. I LOVED the sound, the excitement. My encounter with motorcycles began around then as my dad owned a Vincent Black Shadow. I was daddy’s girl – his side kick and I went everywhere with dad when he was home from whatever armed forces base he was posted to. He often commented over his lifetime that I should have been born his first son. As a result, I emulated everything my father did. I was born in 1960 on the Canadian Armed Forces base in Churchill Manitoba (Back then it was known as the RCAF – Royal Canadian Air Force), my father was a ground electrician who worked on many eyes only projects. Often we would not see him for two and three and as many as six months depending on the posting. My father was what you could term a guys guy, an ex professional boxer in the George Chuvalo Stables, a journeyman electrician, journeyman mechanic, a professional truck driver and an avid horseman, he was what I lovingly called the Marlborough man. His passion for all things motorized from air craft to race cars and motorcycles infected me. I remember at 4 years old being taken to the Ponoka Stampede and watching a family friend that we called “Uncle” Ted riding with the precision riding team, Canadian Dare Devils. I was captivated. At age 9 “Uncle” Ted drug out the 1945 Harley-Davidson that my father had used as a young boxer in training. “Uncle” Ted was a genius with creating things and the old Harley was dad’s medicine bike for building lung and leg power to help his boxing career – the motorcycle had no transmission or engine – instead “Uncle” Ted had installed pedals and a chain. It was the heaviest but coolest bicycle on the planet. I was never allowed to ride a motorcycle as a kid. My mother would let me drive a go cart, ride a horse or a skidoo but she drew the line on motorcycles. When she and dad were dating they had to take a very muddy rural road home to my grandma 44th Edition • Vol. 9 • Page 18 and grandpa’s one time and when my mother covered my dad’s eyes because she was scared and they hit the ditch, well, you get the picture – her fear was something I was forced to live with. The 45 Harley was the closest I would get to riding a motorcycle for a long time. At the age of 16, I started dating and was introduced to riding pillion on motorcycles. Brian Paulson was the first guy my dad trusted enough to let me go with on a motorcycle. I did not date Brian, he was far too old for me at 22, but my dad trusted his riding and gave in to my begging. My mother was not told until years later and only found out by accident. She was horrified and quite put out! Today though, when I visit her at the old folk’s home and do so, on my bike, well, she is pretty proud of me and the comments from all of the other residents at her home. It’s funny how that works! From the very first time I threw my leg over a motorcycle I was HOOKED. As I began getting to know more and more people who rode I became a fixture in the motorcycle community, riding pillion every chance I got – no matter where my gypsy ways took me. In the early 80’s I followed my passion for all things motorized by becoming the crew chief of my soon to be husband’s race car, the Green Mamba Jet Car. I met Doug Rose at Edmonton International Speedway when I was powder puff racing my 72 Dodge Dart Swinger. After Doug and I divorced, my passion for motorcycles was reignited by Ron LePoidvin. In 1986 he taught me to ride my own, (his bike, which I later bought from him) after much bugging and begging. My first real ride was a 1984 FXRS H-D with a shovelhead engine. I loved riding that bike – I guess what they say about your first is true! You never – ever forget it! The road we lived on in Mara Lake, BC was called Rosemond Lake Road. It had everything a beginner rider needed to challenge oneself. A 90 degree right angle turn, a 90 degree left, a set of railway tracks, a bridge, a bit of gravel and a dead end and lots of lovely river side curves…. I had often wondered what the farm ladies of this community thought of me riding –well putting, up and down this back road. I soon found out. Elsie Kaetler, the neighbour closest to me, invited me to drool over her husband Clarence’s 45 Indian. Lucy Boothman showed me photos of her and her husband Ed riding his old military Harley in the 40’s. It seemed every lady I got to know in the area rode pillion or had ridden pillion. Elsie Continued on next Page... From The Depths of File 13 The Busted Knuckle Chronicles and Clarence along with a number of the local’s road with the Retreads! The average age of my friends during this period of my life was 65 and I learned my sense of old school values from all of them. They after all were the foundation of the riding community. All of these ladies applauded my desire to ride my own and they encouraged me every step of the way. I remember talking to Elsie and Lucy about how they wished that they could have ridden their own machines but it was so taboo back in their time. It wasn’t all that popular in 86 either. I was one of a very few women learning to ride in that region of BC. Ron and I split up in 1992 and for the next few years I was relegated to swiping rides with husbands of my friends and with the odd date. You see I had to sell the FXRS, didn’t matter I loved it, I had a daughter who needed a roof over her head and to eat etc…so the bike went but not the passion. 44th Edition • Vol. 9 • Page 19 GOT PMS* Blues? *Parked Motorcycle Syndrome I met my husband Mark in 2000. He had a beautiful Road King and over the next three years he and I shared many hours in the saddle. He used to laugh at me because the minute he said the B word, I had boots, braces, jacket and helmet on before he could say boo! His favourite comment “Finally, a woman I don’t have to wait for!” Help Is On The Way... Belt Drive Betty’s 5th Annual Online Show-N-Shine! Mark, my “hubby” In 2002, a home I had sold, but was carrying a second mortgage on, was finally paid for in full by the new owner and I was now in a situation that I could once again afford my own bike. I bought a Sporty – for me a big mistake as I would soon find out. I was in a car accident in 1996 which took away my career – I was a florist for over 25 years – it also put me into ankle braces for life. As a result of the crash that ensued when a 17 foot canoe came off a guy’s trailer in front of the car I was driving, I was left with 4 compressed discs in my neck, a trapped ulnar Continued on next Page... Registrations begin in December, so start digging through those photos and looking through those digital camera memory chips... (But, please, don’t let the dog & cat see those XXX shots you took at that last poker run!) The Busted Knuckle Chronicles From The Depths of File 13 nerve in my left elbow and some bad discs in my low back not to mention knees that are not happy terribly often and feet that are NEVER happy. I bought the Sporty because I was thinking that if the new hardware I was wearing forced me to, I could always trike it. I found out I could ride with Active X Ankle Braces and began riding long distances – I found that my neck would swell and I would loose the feeling in my left hand causing cornering to be dangerous. The vibration from the 2003 anniversary Sporty was not doing my broken body too many favours. I was told by the lady evaluating me for my insurance company to find something I was passionate about and to begin writing as working from home was going to be my only professional future. Working in conventional office settings or at any physical trade was not to be. One day, hubby and I were having a hot dog and fries at a local diner when a friend asked if we were going to the swap meet. Well, after we got over the disappointment of not being able to leave on short notice, I saw a coffee news paper called News in a Minute and decided that was what our northern Alberta and BC Communities needed – an information source. After much research I discovered there was no weekly newsletter or newspaper to help riders connect and find out about events. I sold the Sporty and bought a Suzuki Volusia 800 – I LOVED that bike. By this time I had taken a Safety Council Training course and had begun the weekly newspaper for the riding community called the Busted Knuckle Chronicles. I was riding all over the place and loving every second of it. I had found my calling. Writing and riding – promoting my community – I WAS IN HEAVEN. I soon outgrew the Suzuki and began test riding everything in the country to find my next bike. I rode a Victory 44th Edition • Vol. 9 • Page 20 King Pin for 9,000 Kilometres and while I loved the feel of the machine, Victory did not yet make hard bags or tour packs and since I was now writing what was rapidly became a national weekly newspaper while I was on the road at the various events, and needed to pack electronics like a lap top with me well, I had to pass on the bike. I finally found the bike that made my butt happy, a 2007 Street Glide which is what I ride today. From the first minute I parked my butt on her, I was in love. Over the last 4 seasons of riding my glide, I have put on a respectable 80,000+ Kilometres and attended many an event. In early 2010, Roger Goldammer sent me an Airtime Breather Kit for my bike and I was thrilled with how this new air breather allowed my handicapped feet a better stance on the floorboards and to hug the tank better with my knees. No more did my right ankle have to rest on its side with the brace digging into it! Mark and I rode across Canada last year taking in 8 provinces out of 10 – sadly we did not get to the two ride able territories. This year. In July/August – I rode across Canada by myself in my 2011 Share the Road Motorcycle Awareness Conga – From Grande Prairie AB I rode to Beaver Creek Yukon Territory to go and meet an inspiring lady rider “Buckshot Betty” Carmen Hinsen ( her place is close to the Alaska - Yukon Border, I then headed to Salmon Arm BC for the Sturgis North™ event and then head across the country to Cape Breton Nova Scotia and the Thunder in the Highlands – Cape Breton Bike Fest. It was an incredible experience, one I hope to repeat many times over exploring other regions in Canada. 90% of the miles I put on, are on my own. In fact a few men in Sturgis, South Dakota had a hard time believing I had ridden there on my own, but after a week of seeing me all over the place, but alone, they finally were made believers. I enjoy the solitude of riding alone. When I do ride with someone else it tends to be with my husband Mark. He is my best friend and a very good rider. Every now and then I get him to put the pillion pad on his Road King because I love the intimate, silent communication between rider and passenger, but riding my own is empowering. In 2012, I will be riding in the Yukon, NWT, BC and Alberta predominantly as my baby girl is getting married, I was warned that I had best be attending the wedding in Mexico, so this year’s Conga will concentrate on the west. For 2013, I have committed to going to Florida and Newfoundland – not sure how that is going to come about but it will! I feel it. Because of the newspaper and having been an event host for custom motorcycle shows, I have had the pleasure of working with some of the best motorcycle media people in the world, people like TBear from the Horse/Backstreet Chopper, Peter Jonsson of MCM Magazine, Dmitry from RU Riders, a Russia Magazine, Glenn Roberts of Motorcycle Mojo Magazine along with some of the best bike builders in the world, Chica, Roger Goldammer, Eddie Trotta, Matt Hotch, Rick Fairless…. no matter that they are celebrities – they are all, each and everyone one of them riders and down to earth people that I have come to admire. Continued on next Page... The Busted Knuckle Chronicles From The Depths of File 13 44th Edition • Vol. 9 • Page 21 I am a die hard rider and since 2003 have put over 160,000 With the kids of the Bike Klub and their “Bobber”, named Betty When I was hosting custom bike shows I met the kids from the Bernice MacNaughton High School Bike Klub in Moncton NB – at the time they were building bicycles. I invited them out and sponsored some tickets etc – and they attended the Canadian Championship of Custom Bike Building in Wembley AB. After giving them a small push to begin building motorcycles (introducing them to custom builders and parts manufacturers) – they decided to name their first bike “Betty” after me. This bobber won the Donny Peterson High School Chopper Challenge for these kids. What an honour it was to finally get to meet “Betty” this past summer. I have had the pleasure of meeting powerful and empowering female riders. There are so many inspiring, strong and wonderful women who ride now a days, that I wished I could mention them all, but women like Jayne Buys from Rosedale AB and Mary Laird from Toad Rock Motorcycle Campground in Balfour BC – Jayne and Mary were a trail blazers for women riders here in western Canada as was Danni Stockley from Toronto – Danni, Mary and Jayne were riding long before it was socially acceptable and are my heroines! Amanda Lynne Hare, also from Ontario is another woman that I have drawn inspiration from – her background of illness and triumph is amazing as are the women - the indomitable Brenda Fox and Flo Fuhr. The latter two women inspire me for very similar and yet different reasons, Brenda because of her stunt riding, writing and the fact that she is a Breast Cancer Survivor - how she has turned a lemon in to lemon meringue pie by helping other Breast Cancer survivors is utterly phenomenal and Flo, well I admire her because of her desire to support Breast Cancer Victims via her and Donna Palladino’s Conga for Breast Cancer Research. Flo went from being a newbie to a skilled rider in one season by taking the Jerry “Motorman” Palladino Training – Ride like a Pro and riding across the USA on her way home with her new bike. One day I intend to take a course like Jerry’s – I think that keeping one’s skills sharp is very important and learning is a life long endeavour! Motorcycles and the people who ride them have been a part of my life, all of my life and the motorcycle community is filled with eclectic and intriguing people, which is why I am still an active member in the community; these people excite and inspire me. With Pastor Rob Dale of The Bikers Church Kilometres (About 100,000 miles), hosted three major bike shows and edit a weekly newspaper 48 times a year. I have a busy and full life! I will ride no matter what Mother Nature throws at me until what she throws at me makes it unsafe to continue. I love the smells, the visual panorama that my motorcycle (sans the “A” pillar of a car) provides me. I love the people, the sense of adventure and exploration and most of all I love the feeling of empowerment. I may be “handicapped” but that has never stopped me from pursuing my passion. Motorcycles are a life long love affair that I have had and the affair has finally been realized in its truest and most total of form. I can’t imagine being without motorcycles and motorcyclists in my life, when that day comes, it will be the day they spread my ashes in the wind so that they can catch up to my soul.
