The 17th Annual Kelsey Charity Run was held on Sunday, June 17th Father’s Day! This year’s Kelsey Charity Run promised to be another great Father’s Day Blast! And it was. The event kicked off with a Lime Dot Run beginning at the Manville/Hillsborough Elks. The end point was the Family Picnic at the Bridgewater Eagles club. In addition to this event, the Kelsey Charity Run was raising money by raffling off a 2012 Harley-Davidson Switchback motorcycle that was won by Al Tasherichnik and second prize is a SONY 55” 3D LED HDTV was won by Ray Misiura. Raffle tickets were $50 each and only 1,000 tickets were sold. The Kelsey Charity Run was originally established as a fund raiser exclusively for the benefit of Kelsey Kirchner, who at age two was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a rare form of cancer which forms in nerve tissue and typically occurs in children under five. At the time of her diagnosis, Kelsey was given a poor chance of survival; however not willing to give

up, Kelsey’s family brought her to Sloan Kettering where she underwent experimental treatments. These treatments were quite costly and not covered by insurance. Kelsey, now 20 years old, is a well adjusted, cancer free college student. Kelsey still has ongoing medical needs and the Kelsey Charity Run continues to raise funds to cover those needs. However, with Kelsey’s needs for the funds diminished, the Kelsey Charity Run has reached out to others in the local community with similar needs and now has many beneficiaries.Cost of attending was still only a $20 and this donation goes to help children battling cancer and other serious and life threatening illnesses. The first Kelsey Charity Run was organized by retired Bridgewater Police Chief Richard Voorhees along with a group of local businessmen who asked to remain anonymous. Since then the Kelsey Charity Run has raised over $1,300,000 and continues working hard raising funds. So if you missed out on the event this year come out and support this most worthwhile charity.

This month’s column is about choosing the best motorcycle to fit your needs. I recently came across an article which talks about choosing the best motorcycle and in giving their advice, they broke it down into the following criteria;

1. Consider Your NeedsThe author advises that you assess the practice of your riding; will you be riding in heavy traffic, long distances or only on weekends? For instance, if you are looking for a weekend toy, you might be tolerant of a sleek, but uncomfortable bike. However, if you plan on using your motorcycle to take you to work each day, you will need comfort, storage and durability.

2. Choose a Bike that Fits Your BodyBecause of the infinite number of bikes that are available today, you must sit on, and if at all possible, test drive the motorcycle you intend on buying, The test drive, if allowed, will show you the ergonomic differences in the model you are testing and the contrast between what you expected and the “reality” of the motorcycle. When doing this, make sure you keep an open mind because regardless of what you think you want, if you do not chose the correct motorcycle, you will find reasons not to operate it.

3. New or Used? This is a bigger question than most people realize because like with most automobiles, most motorcycle riders would prefer a new bike versus a used one. However, purchasing a new motorcycle often comes with a steep price. Buying a used motorcycle confers upon a beginning rider the luxury of not damaging something that’s showy. Most often used bikes are a better value since they have already depreciated.

4. Consider Your Long Term BudgetWhen preparing to buy a motorcycle you need to realistically estimate the expenses you will encounter from its operation.

This means more than simply buying the motorcycle and estimating what maintenance will cost. In my mind what this means is, before you purchase a motorcycle you should call at least two to three different insurance companies and get estimates of the cost of properly insuring the bike. The reason this is so important is because I have had many clients spend between $3,000.00 and $30,000.00 and then when it comes time to purchase insurance, they have run out of money and end up purchasing the minimum required

motorcycle insurance coverage. Then, we all know what happens next ……. an accident occurs and they don’t have collision, comprehensive, uninsured and/or underinsured motorist coverage and ultimately they find themselves without a motorcycle, nor the means to be compensated for their injuries. In summary, the article suggests that when looking to purchase a motorcycle, you don’t do so hastily! I

would suggest that you think long and hard before making a decision of what motorcycle to buy especially if it is your first motorcycle. I would also suggest that prior to doing so you enroll in and take the motorcycle safety course if it is offered in your state. Then, once you become a licensed driver you follow the path that I followed, which is to buy a used motorcycle for a few thousand dollars, spend three to six months learning on it, and when you feel ready, shop for the motorcycle of your dreams.

FATBOY’S PORK BACK RIBS

Ingredients4 beefsteak tomatoes3 slabs pork back ribs1/2 cup sugar1/4 cup paprika3 tablespoons seasoned salt2 tablespoons chili powder2 tablespoons ground black pepper1 tablespoon celery salt1 tablespoon onion powder1 tablespoon garlic powder2 teaspoons ground sage1 teaspoon dry mustard1 cup your favorite barbecue sauce1/2 cup honey Directions: In pint-jar with tight-fitting lid, combine sugar, paprika, seasoned salt, chili powder, black pep-per, celery salt, onion powder, garlic powder, ground sage and dry mustard. Place lid on jar and shake jar to combine thoroughly. Set spice rub aside. Makes about 1 1/2 cups. In small saucepan over low heat, stir together


barbecue sauce and honey. Heat through, stirring oc-casionally, about 5 minutes. Set barbecue glaze aside, keep warm or at room temperature before using. (If storing for more than 2 hours, cover and refrigerate. Reheat gently before using). Pat ribs dry with paper towels and season generously with spice rub, using about 4-6 tablespoons for each slab of ribs. Grill over indirect heat in a covered grill or smoker for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Turn ribs once during cooking, about halfway through. Ribs are done when the meat is very tender (insert a paring knife between ribs to determine); they will pull apart fairly easily. About 20 minutes before ribs are done, baste heavily with barbecue glaze. If you like your ribs extra sticky, baste again 10 minutes before removing from the grill.
