First and foremost, FLBD would like to send our deepest, heart-felt condolences to the folks in Newtown, CT. We pray you find comfort and peace as you move forward in life, but recognize it will never be the same. Personally, as a parent who has outlived a child, my heart breaks for each of the loved ones left behind. May you find strength in each other and comfort in the memories of that too-short life taken so senselessly.

Craig Beachler’s father was a biker in a motorcycle club and Craig learned the old school ways very early in life. In 1962, he began riding a Harley-Davidson Flathead four-five. That was the same year he enlisted in the U.S. Navy Submarine Service where he served on the old diesel boats for about ten years before moving on to nuclear power fast attack boats. Riding in the service would get interrupted by unit deployments but Craig continued to indulge his passion for riding in between underway periods.

Craig sold the ‘62 to buy a 1952 Panhead and rode that bike through most of California while stationed on the west coast. In 1985, Craig was transferred to the east coast and changed rides to a 1966 Shovelhead FL. After 26 years of sub-marine service, he entered civilian life as a yacht sales service manager on the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia. Just before re-tirement from civilian work, Craig changed bikes again to his current ride, a 2006 FLSTC.

Craig is married to a “much younger woman” – she’s 32. They decided not to have children because neither wanted to give up the freedom of riding. His wife rides her own HD Nightster and they travel on the road with both bikes together.

They usually tent camp with the bikes on long hauls or weekenders. Craig isn’t sure what she loves more, him or the Harleys.

Craig’s favorite ride area is the Blue Ridge Mountains in Vir-ginia. He believes that once biking is in your blood it becomes a lifetime riding addic-tion. He enjoys the solitude of the high-way, overnight tent camping and meeting new riding friends throughout the country. His advice to young riders is “slow down and enjoy the ride safely.” If you live through a motorcycle crash, the injuries sustained will haunt you in your later years.

LIST OF CULPRITS

6FAST LANE BIKER

Anthony Martone has been infatuated with photography since his high school days. What began as providing photography services to friends and family for small weddings and such over the years, progressed into event photography. Now, Anthony and Michele, who have been married for 15 years, work together running the business. They opened Starphotos when they moved back to VA and have been busy ever since! Michele does most of the coordination, behind the scenes tasks, and shoots for events and other projects as needed. You have probably viewed Starphoto’s cover and centerfold work in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarva. The Martones also organize several events in Roanoke, VA including bike nights at local bars and assist with a variety of charitable efforts.

1) How long have you been involved with your business and what exactly do you do? We have been in business for a little over 5 years now. We are freelance photographers who do everything from studio setting pictures to centerfold and cover shoots. We also have a mobile studio and can provide on-sight shoots as well.

2) Where were you born? We both originate from the north – Anthony was born in Worcester, MA and Michele was born in Bangor, ME.

3) Where do you currently reside and for how long? We currently live in Roanoke, VA and have lived there for the past 7 years – prior to that we lived in Orlando, FL.

4) What do you like/admire most about yourself? Umm we’re not really conceited but, since you asked, we are told we have a great eye for photography!

5) What is the one thing you would change about yourself? Two things, actually: Fatter wallet, skinnier body.

6) What would you consider your greatest extravagance? Traveling as part of a photography

job. We really enjoy meeting new people and we get to see some great places.

7) Who is your fictional hero? Anthony’s fictional hero is Captain America; Michele pleads the 5th.

8) Who do you consider your real life hero? Anthony’s real life heroes are his brother Larry who was a Marine in Vietnam and who is no longer with us and Anthony’s nephew, Justin, a Marine as well, who was lost to us in Iraq in 2006 - Semper Fi. Michele’s real life heroes are all those currently serving in the armed forces and all her family who served or are serving now.

9) What is the most awesome thing you own? Anthony’s is his 1940 Polaroid Land Camera and it still works.

10) What is the question you are most often asked (and what is the answer you give)? “Can I hold your light?” to which I reply, “Umm, nah, I got this.”

11) If you could choose any other occupation, what would that be? Nothing. We really love what we do except maybe landing a large account for an agency.

12) If you could switch places with one person for a day, who would that person be? Anthony would like to be the main photographer for Hot Rod Magazine. Michele is happy being herself.

13) What would you do if you were able to retire? Travel overseas, go on cruise and maybe relax a little for a change.

ROLLING WITHTHE BIG DOGS



As riders, we long for roads that take us far from the dangerous riding conditions and hustle and bustle of city living. Since living neatly tucked between Baltimore and Annapolis, MD, one of my favorite “Dog Runs” starts near my home and winds its way to a breathtaking overlook known as the Sideling Hill Exhibit Center in west-ern Maryland.

I can do this run and make it last all day or I’ve been known to ride it in under 4 hours. There are many options but my favorite is to slap on the Mp3 player, jump on the interstates and “Boogity Boogity Boogity!” If you would like Google Maps links that will provide you with the a scenic route with the least amount of interstate riding and minimal traffic, visit the BDMT website at www.BIGDOGsMotoTours.com or scan the QR code located on this page.

Did you know? What I like most about riding a road is that it gives me a sense of being connected. Our roadways bind this country together allowing for all types of transportation of people and products. Too that end, US40 was created. The historic “National Road” (also known as “Cumberland Road” throughout most of Maryland) can also connect you from Atlantic City, NJ on the Atlantic Coast all the way to the Snyderville Basin located just west of Salt Lake City, UT. The Cumberland Road sec-tion was opened in 1806 and it was the first major improved highway in the United States to be built by the federal government. The approxi-mately 620-mile (1,000 km) long “National Road” provided a connection between the Potomac and Ohio Rivers. Today, US40 totals well over 2300 miles and has served as a gateway to the West for untold thousands of settlers. When rebuilt for the first time in the 1830s, the Cumberland Road became the first road in the US to use same size aggregate binder on top to create a state of the art road surface. This was the beginning of America’s love affair with the road and the machines we ride on them.

Of Special Note: The Sideling Hill Road cut on Interstate 68 and US40 is a 340-foot (100 m) deep notch excavated from the ridge of Sideling Hill, about 7 miles (11 km) west of Hancock in Washington County, Mary-land. It is notable as an impressive man-made mountain pass, visible from miles away, and is considered to be one of the best rock exposures in Maryland and the entire northeastern United States. Almost 810 feet (250 m) of strata in a tightly folded syncline are exposed in this road cut. Although other exposures may surpass Sideling Hill in either thickness of exposed strata or in quality of geologic structure, few can equal its combination of both.

DISTANCE: 110 miles one way following our suggested route. It can easily last a whole day of riding when going roundtrip along this route.TRAVEL TIME: Approximately 3 hours provided you hit mostly green lights through Frederick (jump on I#70 for a quick go around

of the city) and there are no school buses or tractors on the roads.ROADS: Mostly rural roads with some city riding - forest, country fi elds, some rivers edge, slightly hilly and mostly single lane roads. Occasionally the road may have multiple lanes. DESTINATION ELEVATION: 2310 ft. above sea level - Maryland, Pennsylvania & West Virginia are viewable from this point.Primary roads: Baltimore National Pike (US40), Old National Road (US144), Lappans Road and Clear Springs Road (MD68)ALTERNATE FAST ROUTE: Interstate 70 if that’s how you roll!KEY NOTE: Many bikes have tanks with 100-115 mile ranges. Don’t worry; exit 72 which is just west of the pass has gasoline, bathrooms and even food! Aside from that, there are many places to stop and eat/fuel along the way.

jury, distracted driving, malfunctioning traffic signals, handicap tags and anything else that comes up which would affect motorcyclists. ABATE and MRF (Mo-torcycle Riders Foundation) will continue to monitor E15 fuel. Of course, we will address the helmet and freedom of choice issue. Wednesday, January 9th, is the opening of the 2013 session. Each Monday night (beginning Jan. 14th, 2013), ABATE of Maryland offi-cers and members meet at our state office in Annapolis at 6 pm and walk over to the state house to speak with our legislators. It is important that each Monday night we have a good turnout in order to meet with every-one we need to meet with. This is a good opportunity for motorcyclists in Maryland to see what goes on in Annapolis during session. If you are interested in par-ticipating, please contact the state office at (800) 843-0252 for more information or just come down and join us at 71 Franklin St., Annapolis MD 21404.

January is not only the beginning of a new year for ABATE but the beginning of the 2013 legislative ses-sion. This is when ABATE is at its best. In November, we completed our legislative workshop in preparing for the new session. We looked at what we did last year and prepared the final touches on what needs to be addressed this year. Not all motorcycle issues need to be dealt with legislatively. Much of our issues can be dealt with administratively. Throughout the year we meet with State Highway, Maryland Department of Transportation, MVA and the Maryland State Police to sort through these issues and try to resolve them in that manner. ABATE of Maryland also sits on the Mary-land Coalition of Motorcyclists. This is a five year commitment. Over the years we have been labeled as “the helmet people”. It is not just about helmets. We have many issues to address each year including fail-ure to yield right of way causing death or grave in-

I am happy to say that I survived the holidays and hopefully you did too. Not that my family is crazy or anything, but I prefer them in small doses. So after some quality family time, I found myself in need of booze and good food. I drove around (yes, I actually drove on this particular night because there was snow on the ground) until I came to Mike and Nick’s Italian Sports Bar in Hockessin, DE. I must admit, this was not accidental. The simple fact is that it was near a friend’s work and he was buying, so I was in.

When we arrived, the hostess showed us to a table because the bar was packed. I didn’t mind since I was there for the food (and booze). During Sunday NFL games, Mike and Nick’s offers $.35 wings and $10 buckets of Miller Lite. You can’t beat that with a stick. The wings come in hot, mild, garlic parmesan and BBQ. I opted for an order of hot, an order of garlic parmesan, and a bucket of Miller Lites. The wings were ample in size for the price, but I wasn’t a fan of the garlic parmesan. The garlic was so over-powering that it was more like biting into a clove of garlic and you only tasted a hint of wing. The hot wings, however, were just right - not tongue numbing and a sufficient amount of flavor.

I also decided to try one of the varieties of sandwiches on the menu and ordered a Harkes Grilled Chicken Caprese with a side of fries. A sub roll came to the table topped with a grilled chicken breast, tomatoes, pesto sauce, arugula and fresh mozzarella. The presentation was nice and the flavors blended perfectly. The only tweaking I would do is making the chicken breast a little plumper – it was a little thin in my opinion. However, after a dozen wings, an order of fries, half of a sandwich, and a bucket of beers, I can

honestly say that I didn’t leave hungry.

I’ve already decided to give Mike and Nick’s another visit because I watched many good-looking pizzas coming from the kitchen, along with a few very appealing sandwiches. They of-fer specials almost every night of the week and a DJ on Friday nights. My next feast will most likely include a porkette sandwich and pizza. I think this eatery is worth a visit so be sure to swing by Mike and Nick’s Italian Sports Bar, 30 Lantana Drive, Hockessin, DE 19707.

Do you have any questions, comments or know an eatery you want me to visit? If so, contact me at [email protected].

Until the weather gets warmer, just keep telling yourself that it’s just another day in paradise.

PB Choppers owner/builder Jim Wubben came of age during the wild years of the ‘60s, influenced by hard rock, Woodstock, Vietnam and the classic movie “Easy Rider.” Jim’s bikes are hand crafted to meet the highest standards of quality and made only from USA materials designed to fit the rider and fulfill the vision he or she has of themselves riding off on their next adventure.

Great bike builds such as Angel Eyes, the 2005 Biker Build-Off Winner, Timeless, the 2006 Winner and Hot Bike Champion, Dale Earnhardt Sr., Dale Earnhardt Jr., Rusty Wallace Last Call, Iowa Speedway Inaugural and Mr. Roger Penske INDY Car Champion proves PB Choppers stands the test of time. Mr. Sam Bass commissioned PB Choppers’ painter Monte Moore to reproduce Into The Night and All Star Car Wars designs on two bikes built specifically for NASCAR Speedway Children’s Charity.

The Timonium Motorcycle Show is proud to host Jim and display many of his hottest bikes all three days of the show. Be sure to look for Jim’s display that will include the INTIMIDATOR, a Dale Earnhardt Sr. Tribute Bike that Jim built for his all-time favorite NASCAR hero. The Intimidator led thousands of bikes on the Legends Ride for the Annual Buffalo Chip Event at Sturgis. It is a “must see” at the show for NASCAR fans along with the many trophies it has won in competition. Also on display will be BLACK CHERRY. Jim’s workmanship and unique design aspects have helped this beauty win many shows around the country. The Iowa Speedway, SEM Corporation and Timeless show bikes were all built on Black Cherry’s rugged frame. The Armed Forces-themed bikes will also be on display including the NAVY SEAMAN dedicated to submarine and aircraft carrier crewmen and the SHARK in honor of the WWII P-40 Kitty Hawk pilots who gave their lives over the Pacific. NASCAR fans will be dazzled by the Sam Bass-themed INTO THE NIGHT bike featuring graphics depict-ing the first race ever run under the lights at Lowe’s Motor Speedway in 1992 and showcasing the cars of Dale Earn-hardt Sr., Davey Allison, Mark Martin, Richard and Kyle Petty, Rusty Wallace and Darrell Waltrip.

Last but certainly not least, don’t miss the unveiling of THE DUKE, the John Wayne tribute bike, only at the 2013 Timonium Motorcycle Show. Be one of the first in the country to be photographed with this iconic build. Come out and be part of industry greatness and, please, don’t forget your camera!

As I head to the airport I still haven’t a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia. Of course, I knew the name of this exotic country and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me. But 10 hours after liftoff, my plane landed in Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia and home to about 3.5 million people.

Loop to Debre Libanos

Once the decision to travel to Ethiopia was made, I was eager to locate a motorcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels. There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like “local tour operators.” Fortunately, with help from my friends in Addis Ababa, I made arrangements to borrow an elder KTM 640 from a guy named Carlos. On my way to pick up the KTM, I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions. Except for main roads, only a few are paved. Getting to Carlos’ house was actually a big adventure – all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self�made road map so we wouldn’t miss the turns. We set off, clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopia’s capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestri-ans). We had to pay attention to this bulk of people – statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just don’t know how to act in traffic.

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Liba-nos. Once outside of Addis, road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on – well paved, clean and void of pot holes. It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched landscape and the natural charm of the far�flung villages. When-ever we passed by the locals, oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner.

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Libanos. Built in the 13th century, this monastery once was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church. The monastery itself is a well preserved build-ing, however, the area around is even more beautiful with its in-credible vistas and fascinating landscapes.

Easter in Lalibela

Did you know that Ethiopia is the year 2003? And did you also know that if it is 6 a.m. in East Africa Time, Ethiopian people will tell you it’s noon? It’s true, officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time�setting. So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused!

Since Ethiopia covers 1,104,300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country. So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead. It was Easter weekend so we choose Lalibela as our destination, perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia. In fact, most of the Ethi-opians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their country. Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela. The land-scape changed from green, wide land to canyons and mountains with very little vegetation. Lalibela, the place so famous for its Eleven Churches, was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists. Once we arrived at our hotel, which was aptly a former monastery, we packed our camera, put on some good shoes and went to the goat market. For Easter celebration, every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry. The poorer residents who can’t afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15�25) for a goat, buy a much cheaper chicken instead. We struggled through a huge mass of goats, sheep, don-keys and people, and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle. Later, we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela. Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lalibela these eleven rock�hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims. Today, many go there especially at Easter weekend.

The next day we planned a hiking trip. Lalibela is located at 2,500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2,900 meters to another monastery. On our return trip, our local guide invited us for coffee at his sister’s home for a traditional Ethiopian cof-fee ceremony. After coffee, some homemade injera was served consisting of lentils, boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self�made honey beer. It was a memorable experience to see their house from inside, to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money, the luxury and the comfort we are used to.

The motorcyclecommunity lost a fun loving, generous,humanitarian andco-owner of theHigh Seas Rallyon Oct. 31, 2012.Debbie Anderson, the creator of the HOHS Dialysis Fund lost her battle withcancer during the 2012 High Seas Rally Western Caribbeancruise. Debbie and her husband of 37 years (Dean) are thecreators, chiefs, cooks and bottle washers of the WorldÕs OnlyBiker Rally on a Cruise Ship. An exclusive worldwide bikerrally that sells out almost 15 months in advance each year. Tenyears ago, this husband and wife team created what has beenlabeled, Òthe rally thatÕs almost too much funÓ. While Deanwas in charge of creating the fun activities, Debbie createdthe HOHS Kidney Dialysis Fund to provide motorcycle ridersor their friends that are connected to kidney dialysis bloodcleaning machines to come along with the rally and have thevacation of a lifetime too.

That vacation would be onthe same cruise ship as the7 day rally to Alaska,Western Caribbean,

Mexican Riviera or nextyearÕs new itinerary, the

Eastern Caribbean. During the past15 cruises, Debbie raised over 1.5 million dollars to pay forthe dialysis patientÕs airfare, balcony suite, medical staff,dialysis treatments on the ship and to give them spending moneyduring the cruises. This past rally cruise alone raised over$300,000.00. Debbie attended the last 3 cruises while undercancer treatments and passed away midway through the 10thAnniversary HSR cruise Oct 28-Nov 4. Her death was keptquiet until after the cruise was over. Debbie will be missedby all her past 22,000 HSR rally passengers and especiallyby her husband Dean for their 40 year love affair.

What a great day for a ride! The unseasonably warm temperatures rising to mid and upper 60s coerced people to come out in force. Sport bikes, chop-pers, Harleys, and even classic cars came together for a worthy cause - the 24th annual local Toys for Tots run. This 24 mile run loops through Roanoke and Salem, VA’s winding roads. Over 2000 bikes participated in the run, making it quite the sight to see. According to event coordinators, participation was more than double the projected number. Over $10,000 in cash was raised and enough toy dona-tions to fill two 7 ton trucks manned by US Marines. A variety of motorcycle and riding clubs turned out to show their support, as well as individual riders from all over the state of Virginia and beyond.

Congratulations to the event coordinators Robert Johnson, Sgt. Portis, the various HOG Chapters from CMA and the many volunteers. We look for-ward to working with all of you on future charity runs and events.

23RD EAST COAST INDOOR NATIONALS CAR & CUSTOM MOTORCYCLE SHOW

The 23rd East Coast Indoor Nationals is in the bag, as they say. Nearly 300 American rods, customs, muscle cars, antiques, and custom motorcycles along with a huge ven-dor area descended on the Cow Palace at the Timonium Fairgrounds in Timonium, MD. The show was divided into two divisions, the “Show Division” for cars and bikes not seeing road time; and the “Street Division” for those that are driven.

A total of $10,000 in cash plus awards was distributed to class winners. Best Show Bike award was presented Mark Irvin for his 2012 Custom Chopper ($500 prize win-ner) and Best Driven Bike award was presented to Keith Jones for his 2004 Boss Hoss ($250 prize winner).

This show is held the first weekend of December every year and is attended by nearly 8,000 spectators. Rumor has it that in 2013, the total prize payout will be $12,000 and includes $1,000 for Best Show Bike and $500 for Best

Driven. Not bad for a show that gives its proceeds to the U. S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots. This year’s show raised $37,161 in cash and 1,500 toy donations. How awesome is that??

For registration information for 2013, visit www.east-coastindoornats.com after February 1, 2013 or call David at 410-628-6262.

Handlebars: Make or Break the Bike?

TECH TIP FROM...OUT OF THE SHOP

BY BRAD & MERLON ROGERS

The handlebars are very important part of your bike. The new bikes come with the one size fits all handlebars. We all know one size fits all translates to one size fits some and the rest, make do. If we all were the same height, same arm length and shoulder width, this would be fine. We are not.

Now we all know handlebars do a few things. First, they are a major part of the look of your bike. You want them to flow with the design of the bike. There are road bars, ape hangers, drag bars, clip on and a lot of custom bars. You also want the handlebars to set at a good height so they’re easy to reach and comfortable.

The way the handlebars set will affect your back, neck, wrist and even how your butt feels. If you’re fighting them, it can suck the fun out of the ride. Now when picking a new set of bars you have a few things to look at. You want to cover the gas tank so it doesn’t get marked up. Then loosen the bars up and when sitting on the bike see where you think you would like then. If it feels wrong, it most likely is wrong. They have to be up high enough to clear the tank and wide enough to not hit the tank when turning. If you raised the handlebars enough you will need to change cables and wiring that can get costly with Ape hangers. You will most likely need new gas and clutch cable, master cylinder front brake hose/line and control wires.

DO NOT get brake fluid on the gas tank. You will not be a happy camper. You also may have to remove the gas tank to get to the wires in most bikes. This may also require you to change wires in the plug ends and sometimes remove plugins to get the wires inside the handle bars.

When putting the bars back on, make sure they clear the tank and that the cables are long enough. You don’t want the bike revving up when you turn the bars. I have heard people saying that changing handlebars is real easy. I will take this time to say in a lot of cases it is a bit of work. The main things to remember is this is not a quick job and you want to make sure you have everything you need to do the job right.

P.S. All companies do not measure their handle bars the same, so check their charts or call and ask. Have fun and safe riding.

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY: LEE D. GABER, ESQUIRE

Inasmuch as I am considered a motorcycle accident lawyer throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, I am always on the look out in local magazines and newspapers for articles that are written about motorcycles and how the economy has affected the motorcycle business. As most of you know, the motorcycle business was hit pretty hard between 2008 and 2011 and has just recently begun to rebound. While reading the small business section contained in our local newspaper, I came upon an article entitled “Local start up ready for the next chapter”. This was a story about a retailer named RevZilla.com, which is in the process of moving its main headquarters from South Philadelphia to a site along Delaware Avenue, which will not only be larger, but will allow it to sell and produce more products for sale. RevZilla Motorsports, LLC is an online motorcycle retailer which was created approximately 3 years ago by three Drexel University graduates who wanted to indulge their proficiency with technology and their love of bikes. The article was written by Diane Mastrull. I don’t know whether they would have a use for a law firm that focuses on motorcycles, however, when I am in the area I plan on stopping by and introducing myself.

The owners of this venture indicate that they have been successful in blending the use of the internet and their passion for bikes by producing video’s played on You Tube on topics ranging from serious motorcycle product reviews for both dirt and street riders, to reviews of Harley Davidson’s and all makes of sports bikes. Although the article stresses that there are other threats to their e-commerce business including Amazon and Google, RevZilla is expected to survive because the market for motorcycle accessories and apparel is big and continues to grow. The technology and sophistication that RevZilla brings to their marketing efforts are evidence of the reasons they will surely continue to thrive.

As an attorney who advertises in multiple arenas including the internet, magazines and our firms attendance at numerous motorcycle events through out the Delaware Valley I can attest to the fact that spreading the word that we are motorcycle accident lawyers is a full time job. In addition to the

1-888-CYCLE-LAW . [email protected] . www.cycleattorney.com

Sincerely, LEE D. GABER, EsquireThe one and only “Cycle Attorney”

magazines and shows, I try to make myself available to speak at various motorcycle groups and answer questions not only about motorcycles, but about motorcycle insurance and its interplay with health and auto insurance as well.

Knowing how difficult it is to make your business stand out in a competitive field, I applaud the three founders of RevZilla for not only growing their business in a very difficult recessionary period, but also for utilizing the internet and modern technology to do it.

As always, if upon reading this material you have any questions regarding this topic or any others, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 1-888-CYCLE-LAW (1-888-292-5352).
