BIKER THE CLOCK<br />
BIKER THE CLOCK<br />
by Momma Iz<br />
How many miles have you logged? How many events? How<br />
many runs, parties, weddings, funerals? Are you counting? No,<br />
your laying on your bike, catching some rays, not happy, not sad<br />
but content. Content to be riding, some days no destination is the<br />
best destination. You don't look at your watch or phone. You look<br />
to the sky, you listen to your gut, and you go when you feel like<br />
sitting up. You look in the mirror, your beard is near your chest or<br />
your laugh lines got a little longer. That's how many miles you've<br />
done, and until your heart stops beating thats how many more you'll<br />
do.
I welcomed them as guests,<br />
but they left as family.<br />

CUSTOM LEATHER TOOLING<br />
by<br />
DICKIE<br />
Who doesn't love custom tooling. Why wait for the show season to find a custom<br />
tooler. Well now you don't have to, Crafty Bastard is a local East Coast tooler that can<br />
be reached on Facebook at Crafty Bastard. If you think of it, he can tool it.
A DAY IN BIKER<br />
LIFE<br />
B Y M O M M A I Z<br />
I don't believe in there is a reason<br />
for everything. I believe we are<br />
who we are. Maybe someone can<br />
be groomed to go all the way to<br />
Harvard and maybe some won't. I<br />
do believe no matter what, we will<br />
still be who we were born to be.<br />
Some see a suit on a bike, a kid on<br />
a bike, a woman on a bike, rich or<br />
poor, educated or not, built or<br />
bought. The heart says ride and<br />
together we make the biker<br />
community.

CAMP<br />
Janet Truax<br />
Campership Fund<br />
Janet Truax was the summer registrar for Camp Pinnacle for many<br />
years. As the person running registration, Miss Janet made sure every<br />
child who wanted to come to camp was able to do just that. She would<br />
call her church and other friends and say, "this child needs help going<br />
to camp. What can you do?" She made sure scholarship money was<br />
available. She passed at the age of 81 and right to the end she kept up<br />
the fight for kids to be able to come to camp.<br />
Every year 10-20 kids are able to experience the beauty and<br />
adventure at Camp Pinnacle. From horses to motorcycles and fishing<br />
ponds to talent show's, along with s'mores, fireside singing, and the<br />
message of God's love for all of us... it's an amazing experience for<br />
these kids. We would like to do that again this year with your help.<br />
Camperships go to children in single parent homes, families in<br />
trauma, and larger families with financial need. If you would like to<br />
donate to the fund or apply for a scholarship, please contact Kayla<br />
Trianni at (528)872-9100 or e-mail info@camppinnacle.org
Camp Pinnacle<br />
Benefit<br />
by Momma Iz<br />
If success can be rated by the smiles on a few kids faces<br />
then the Camp Pinnacle Benefit at the Blackthorne Resort this<br />
spring was just that, a success. The benefit was able to raise<br />
enough money to send a few children to this wonderful<br />
Christian summer camp nestled in the beautiful Helderburg<br />
Mountains of New York.<br />
My partner in crime Dawn Belarge recieved so many<br />
donations it was almost an endless array of prizes.<br />
Outtatheblue DJ played great music and also had many<br />
giveaways. BBQ chicken was delivered by Wagon Wheel of<br />
Schenectady. Turnout was great and we raised many<br />
donations for this great cause but what warmed my heart the<br />
most is when you see your friends and supporters arrive<br />
which for many it's not that easy. There are always bike<br />
events going on every weekend and it spreads people very<br />
thin, everybody is always doing something. People showing<br />
up at events, saying hi then moving on, trying to show respect<br />
to all so when they show up just know that it's more than<br />
saying hi to those they chose to see. They made time out of a<br />
hectic day, got on their bikes for the 4th or 5th time and made<br />
it safely to your event.<br />
So, for that we should (I know I am) be forever grateful. The<br />
crew at <strong>Twist</strong> n <strong>Throttle</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> loves you all.
THE<br />
TANK<br />
Filled With Memories
is upon us. We just observed Memorial Day, a day to remember all those<br />
Summer<br />
gave their lives so that we as Americans can continue to experience freedom.<br />
who<br />
we know it, July 4th will be here. Once again this is a day to remember the<br />
Before<br />
that was won for us by the American Revolution. In September, we will<br />
freedom<br />
Labor Day when we will remember all of those in the Labor movement who<br />
observe<br />
so that we can enjoy the jobs and way of living that we have. In all of this<br />
sacrificed<br />
of those who fought and sacrificed so that we could have our freedoms,<br />
remembering<br />
need to remember the One who paid the price so that we can have eternal<br />
we<br />
Jesus came to earth, lived His life, and then died a horrible death so that we<br />
freedom.<br />
have the ultimate freedom. Romans 6:23 says “the wages of sin is death (eternal<br />
can<br />
but the gift of God is eternal life (eternal freedom) in Jesus Christ our<br />
slavery),<br />
If you have any questions about this eternal freedom and how to get it, please<br />
Lord”.<br />
out to a member of MELCHiZEDEKS MC or any of the other Christian biker<br />
reach<br />
You will see us at most events. We are here for you. You can also pray<br />
organizations.<br />
following prayer: “Dear Jesus, I am a sinner who is stuck in eternal slavery, I<br />
the<br />
You to come into my heart and take it over. I want the eternal freedom that<br />
invite<br />
You can give. Please become the Lord of my life. Amen”. Please let us know if<br />
only<br />
have prayed for this eternal freedom so that we can help you take the next step.<br />
you<br />
Heavenly Father, we thank You for this time of year when we get to ride and<br />
Dear<br />
spend time remembering all of those that have gone before us. Let us also<br />
to<br />
all that You have done for us. And for those who want to know Jesus,<br />
remember<br />
Son, and the eternal freedom that he can bring, we pray that they will reach out<br />

PIT STOP'S<br />
Against<br />
the<br />
Wind<br />
by Momma Iz & Pit<br />
What was going on in the USA in the 1940's. Women were mostly<br />
homemakers, although many(most) rose to the occasion during World War II.<br />
They manned factories, and kept this country strong. I am never in shock when<br />
a women does something men generally do, I am actually shocked when they<br />
don't.<br />
This is more a story of a woman breaking barriers, it's a story of<br />
heartache, perseverance, love, and family. How many Harley dealers are<br />
named for the town, city, or state they are in? Lot's right ! Well some are<br />
named after a family and Tramontin Harley Davidson is one and is the only one<br />
in New Jersey that can claim 100 years of family.<br />
So we go back in time to Clifton New Jersey where a couple owned a<br />
motorcycle shop. That couple would have two children Gloria and Arthur. Sadly<br />
their father Red Tramontin would pass in a motorcycle accident. It was 1928, a<br />
car makes makes a left into a bike. I sit here shaking my head, thinking, even<br />
then.<br />
Gloria and Arthur's mom Pierina take over the shop and keep it going. It<br />
eventually becomes a Harley dealership, and somewhere around 1943 it's<br />
Arthur who tells his sister she should start riding, she doesn't want to,<br />
girls don't ride she thinks. Gloria get's her first bike, an Bonneville Scout.<br />
Now i know Gloria is a legend in the biker community and God bless<br />
her, but we must pay homage to her mother who endured heartache and<br />
kept the business afloat. To her brother, who did not see a girl who<br />
shouldn't but a girl who should. All of that in the 1940's is amazing to me.<br />
Arthur eventually bought land in Hope New Jersey in 1973 before Route<br />
80 was even built. It is the home of Tramontin Harley Davidson. It is<br />
where you may see Gloria Tramontin Struck pulling in on her Harley at<br />
93 years young. You want to shake her hand because she is everything<br />
the motorcycle community stands for, heartache, perseverance, love,<br />
and family.
