Flash De'Monet:
(National Sales Rep)
  I have been riding and working on motorcycles for 47 years. Since our recent boom in our small industry, I had been a road rep for various motorcyle related companies. I currently ride in the American Motor Drome Co. Thrill Arena (Wall of Death!). My best claim to fame is the fact that I ride motorcycles to all the major and a few of the small events across our great country. I hope that I can entertain you and hold your interest long enough for you to enjoy some of my escapades as I travel across our land. I know that there are enough people who write about the events. I'm going to give you articles about the journey, trials and tribulations of riding from event to event, and the numerous people I meet along the way.

Ernie Copper:
(Staff Writer)
  I generally find myself on the road less traveled. I 've got nothing against the bigger events and runs, but it's the odd stuff that usually really grabs my attention. Vintage and odd bikes ( and the people who ride them) are my favorites and both find their way too and from my garage regularly. I've been riding since I was a kid and would rather ride with close friends than a big pack. It's a trust thing. At times you have to work hard to have fun on a bike and that's all part of the deal. My wife rides and we've taught our son and daughter to ride too. I feel a responsibility to give my kids what what my dad gave me - the gift of riding. I have several 1000 mile plus days behind me and I'm a member of both the Iron Butt Association and and The Shriners 1000 in 1 club. Some times I hear the call of the open road, other times the local bike night. I've been writing about motorcycles for close to 10 years in local ,regional and national publications.For all event reporting, leads on articles and stories  E-Mail "Ernie" ejcopper@msn.com
