Bikers Against Child Abuse

Bikers Against Child Abuse, is a strong organization of dedicated individuals that are willing to sacrifice any and all in order to protect and secure the childrens basic right to a happy childhood. BACA was founded by John Paul Chief Lilly. Chief is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Registered Play Therapist/Supervisor, and Part-time faculty at Brigham Young University. He has been in practice for twenty years, most of which has been spent in the treatment of abused children. Chief became keenly aware that while the system was able to offer much in the way of helping the children to heal, there were gaps that needed to be filled.

The two major gaps were: providing for the safety of the children and, providing funding for their therapy. Even with the court involvement to protect children from further abuse with the issuance of protective orders and removing perpetrators from neighborhoods, the perpetrators were continuing to access and wound the children. It would be naive and misrepresentative to believe that law enforcement officials could protect these children from their perpetrators on a continual basis. Further, many children that are abused do not qualify for therapy funding because their cases did not meet the basic requirements of the rules of evidence, and the cases are closed. While it might be obvious that a child has been abused, that child might not qualify for therapy benefits because he/she was too frightened to provide enough evidence for the case to be pursued. Chief noted that safe children are more capable of telling the truth because the threats made by an abuser are offset by the presence of dedicated bikers that have now become family.

BACA also provides for the children by attending court proceedings and parole hearings with them, escorting them to and from school or errands if necessary, and many other ways to insure that the children are free from fear and can return to their previous level of adaptive functioning.

One of the greatest and unique assets of BACA for the children is its biker family attitude. Bikers are a tightly knitted group. The brotherhood and family values are not just a way to live, but a way of life. One for all and all for one, is not just a quote, it is our reality. The children have an uncanny sense for honesty and trust. The children can feel when they are being lied to or told the truth. When a large group of bikers ride to a childs house to support and honor that child, and the bikers tell that child that he/she does not need to be scared anymore because the bikers are there and will be there under any circumstances, the children feel the security of a brotherhood. Children understand that child abusers are cowards that prey on the helpless. After children have been adopted into the BACA family they are not helpless or powerless anymore.

Protect your motorcycle, save money with Progressive and LoJack

Riders can get a 20 percent discount on motorcycle insurance plus $50 rebate on recovery system

According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, more than 60,000 motorcycles were stolen last year: that's one bike stolen every 8.7 minutes. But riders may be able to save money and protect themselves from motorcycle theft by taking advantage of a program from LoJack Corporation and Progressive.

Riders can get a $50 rebate from LoJack on the LoJack for Motorcycles Stolen Vehicle Recovery System by downloading the online rebate form on motorcycle.progressive.com. Progressive insurance customers who have LoJack installed on their bikes can now also get a 20 percent discount on their Comprehensive coverage premium.

Each LoJack system includes a small, silent radio transceiver hidden on the bike by a LoJack certified technician. Once a theft is reported to law enforcement, the LoJack transponder is activated. The system sends out a signal that police vehicles, helicopters and fixed wing aircraft, equipped with LoJack Police Tracking Computers, can follow to recover the stolen bike. In the last three years, the LoJack System has helped law enforcement recover more than 1,500 stolen bikes.

The rebate and discount are available in select states. For more information about Progressive's motorcycle coverages, visit motorcycle.progressive.com, and for motorcycle theft prevention tips, click here. For more information about LoJack, visit http://www.lojack.com.

California Motorcycle Smog Test Proposal Modified by State Senate

Thanks to the efforts of thousands of AMA members and other concerned motorcyclists, the sponsor of a proposed California law to require motorcycles to undergo periodic exhaust emissions testing has backed away from the idea, the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) reports.

The measure — Senate Bill 435 introduced this year by state Sen. Fran Pavley (D-Santa Monica) — would have required all model year 2000-and-newer on-road motorcycles with engine displacements of more than 280cc to be tested every two years. The motorcycles would have been included in the state Department of Consumer Affairs "smog check" program, which involves testing for unacceptable levels of pollutants in emissions.

"This is an initial victory for California motorcyclists, but we can't let our guard down just yet," said Nick Haris, AMA western states representative. "Senators deserve credit for recognizing how this proposal would have created an added burden for motorcyclists, motorcycle businesses, and the cash-starved state bureaucracy, and they reworked the measure to limit its scope to focus on catalytic converters. The bill is on its way to the state Assembly, but we have to remain vigilant because it could revert back to its original form."

Haris added that, in addition to AMA members, ABATE of California and the California Motorcycle Dealers Association put a lot of effort into changing the proposal.

In addition, at least one senator argued the legislation was expensive, unfair to those who ride motorcycles for recreation, and was ostensibly nothing more than another tax. Political insiders saw the proposal as just a creative way for the cash-strapped state to find more money.

"California's motorcyclists are willing to do their fair share to keep our skies clear, but this bill asked motorcyclists — whose two wheels are far less of a resource drain than four-wheelers — to shoulder an extra burden," said Haris. "The California Legislature has already raided $90 million of user-generated fees from the state's OHV fund. Some legislators saw this as an opportunity to create yet another motorcyclist-funded program with no thought as to the burden it placed on the backs of motorcyclists."

California's motorcycle engine emission standards are already the strictest in the nation and, because of their relatively low yearly mileage totals when compared to other vehicles, the state's motorcycles have the lowest emissions of any motor vehicle category in California.

More than 3,000 motorcyclists used the AMA Action Alert section at AmericanMotorcyclist.com to let Sen. Pavley know that they opposed the legislation. They also expressed their concern that the bill could require motorcyclists to always have a stock exhaust system, whereas automobile owners are allowed to install aftermarket systems, which can be less costly.

The emissions testing provision was dropped out of the bill and it cleared the Senate on June 1. The measure is now in the Assembly for consideration, where it could be further amended.

All motorcyclists are urged to stay abreast of the issue by checking the Rights section of the AMA website at AmericanMotorcyclist.com.

Worlds colllide: More women taking to road on motorcycles
By Victor R. Martinez / El Paso Times
Posted: 07/04/2009 11:08:20 PM MDT

The Road Queens Motorcycle Club members include, from left, Cindy Barba, Gracie Martinez, Irma Sierra, Cynthia Camacho and Virginia Gallegos. (Rudy Gutierrez / El Paso Times)

EL PASO -- Cynthia Camacho is passionate about three things -- finding her buyers the right property, helping her sellers get the most out of their home sale and enjoying her 2008 Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider.

For this real estate broker and Harley enthusiast, fulfillment comes from giving her all to make others' dreams come true. And, of course, there's nothing like the feeling of climbing atop a rumbling Harley-Davidson and temporarily leaving her responsibilities behind.

And when these worlds collide, it's almost as sweet as the sound of a deep, thumping Harley engine.

"I had an experience where I was in my minivan, and this man wanted me to go look at his house so we could sell it," said Camacho, founder of Camacho Real Estate and Mortgage Company.

"I noticed his Harley in the garage, and I recognized the stock because my husband has the same one, a Softail Deuce. He was very impressed that I knew what model of bike it was, and right there and then he signed with me."

Camacho isn't shy about showing a home on her Harley-Davidson Dyna.

"Sometimes I have the clients follow me on my Harley," she said, laughing. "I don't mind showing my homes on my bike; it's who I am. This little old lady I showed a home to asked me to come by and show her my new bike."

In the ultimate female road-trip movie, "Thelma & Louise," Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis hit the open road in a convertible.

That's soooooo 1990s.

Today, those ladies would be riding Harleys.

According
Advertisement
to the Motorcycle Industry Council, more than 5.75 million women have made the move from the passenger's seat to behind the handlebars.

"Women riders are increasing because they don't want to be passengers or controlled again," Tim Buche, president of three major U.S. organizations related to motorcycling and performance vehicles, said in a report published by CENS.com.

Buche, who represents the Motorcycle Industry Council, Specialty Vehicle Institute of America, and Motorcycle Safety Foundation, said that in 1998, the percentage of women riders in the U.S. was only 8.2 percent, but it rose to 9.6 percent in 2003 and 12.3 percent in 2008. Even more significant, of about 2.5 million people who rode motorcycles in the United States in 2008, 23 percent -- or 5.75 million -- were women.

The list of reasons why women decide to ride motorcycles -- particularly Harley-Davidson ones -- is as long as the open road. Some common reasons are the adventure, the camaraderie and the freedom.

"I've been riding for about four years," said Camacho, whose first bike was a 2001 Harley Sportster.

"I reached a certain age in my life where I wanted a bike. My dad has two Harleys -- a Fatboy and a Trike -- and when we were kids, he would take us for rides around the block."

Camacho is a member of the Road Queens Motorcycle Club, a women's riding club in El Paso.

"We just celebrated our sixth anniversary," said Gracie Martinez, the club's president. "Our mission is to help women and children with cancer. This year, we helped a 9-year-old little girl from Socorro. We had over 400 riders show up for it."

Martinez, whose first bike was a Harley Sportster, has been riding for nine years.

"When you are out there, you don't have to answer your phone; you don't need to listen to anything," she said. "It's just you out there riding in the wind."

Martinez, who has owned four motorcycles, rides a Harley Road King. She said it is important for anybody, not just women, to take a safety course before buying a motorcycle.

"I got my license in 2000 after taking the safety course," she said. "When women want to join our club, that is one of the things I tell them. Take the safety course, and they start to hang around with us for a little while just to see what we are about and make sure it's something they want to do, because it is not only a commitment to us, but to the entire biker community."

Cindy Barba said she enjoys the independence that riding a motorcycle gives her.

"Some women like to sew or paint, but I am not an artsy-fartsy kind of gal. I'm a lady, but just a little bit rough on the exteriors," she said. "My dad rides a Harley as well, so he says I'm a chip off the old block."

Barba rides a 1999 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500.

"My ex-husband used to ride, and I would ride (in the back) with him," Barba said. "I used to see women ride, and I thought, 'I could do that.' Right after I had my daughter, I went in and took the course, and two weeks later I was hooked. I haven't been on anybody else's bike except for mine since then."

Another aspect of women on bikes is the looks they get from other motorists.

"I always get double takes from other drivers, but I get a lot of thumbs-up, especially from other women," Barba said. "There are even men who yell out, 'You go, girl' and that makes me feel good because it's something you don't see every day."

Barba looks forward to the weekends when she can ride with the Road Queens Motorcycle Club.

"We are a small group and we help support each other," she said. "I am a single mother, so this is my time, this is my hobby, this is my alone time. All these girls are doing the same thing. This is their time on the bike and we all share the same interest, just being out there on our own with the wind in our face."

motorcycle safety month

June 9th, 2009

With the rest of the month fresh from observing motorcycle awareness month in May, New York State officials have declared June their time for bringing the two wheeled matter to the public's attention.

Yesterday New York State Commissioner of Motor Vehicles David J. Swarts and State Police Lieutenant Jim Halverson hosted a press conference at a motorcycle safety training site to officially kick-off the special month.

"As the weather gets better, more motorcyclists will be taking to our roadways," said DMV Commissioner Swarts who also serves as Chair of the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee. "With more motorcycles on the road than ever before, proper training is imperative. We also want to remind all motorists to be more aware of motorcyclists and to share the road with them safely."


A D V E R T I S E M E N T
Joined by Lynne Vandewater, Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) RiderCoach Trainer and MVCC Site Administrator at the training site at Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC) in Utica, they reminded motorists to watch for motorcycles on the roadways and encouraged riders to get proper motorcycle training.

In the past decade, motorcycle registrations in New York State have increased by 82 percent to a total of more than 300,000. In each of the past eight years, motorcycle registrations have increased by an average of 6 percent per year. By the end of 2008, there were more than 600,000 licensed motorcyclists in New York State.

ROBBIE KNIEVEL TO JUMP BUDWEISER TRUCKS

Robbie Knievel will jump over 180 feet of Budweiser trucks in front of the Texas Capitol using a 1,000-foot ramp on Friday, June 12th at 11 pm at the ROT event in June. This will be Knievel’s first jump since New Years Eve in Las Vegas when he made a 200-foot jump over the newly renovated Mirage Hotel volcano, while it erupted.

The 15th annual biker rally will take place on June 11-14 in Austin, Texas. Last year 45,000 bikers took part in the parade and 200,000 visited Austin during the event, which makes it the 5th largest rally of any kind in America.

Jesse James, the man behind Monster Garage, might die. But I doubt it. His new television show “Jesse James is a Douchebag Dead Man” is Jesse toying with death through a variety of different feats and stunts he will perform.

And by toying with death I mean he’ll be taking as many safety precautions as possible to make sure that death is not even in the equation. What does that spell? Well, I’m sure you’ll see some cool stuff like explosions and cars doing flips on the show but no real serious danger.

But hey, it’s TV, not a snuff film! I don’t know about you but after watching the “Making of a Dead Man” documentary on the show, I can’t help but roll my eyes. There seems to be a lot of hype on that show about things that just don’t impress me. It also seems that Jesse’s cast and crew think that pretty much everything will kill him.

The TV Network SPIKE will be airing Jesse’s new show starting on May 31st (this Sunday) for all who are interested in explosions and machismo. Probably the best way to watch it is with a bikini clad girl in one hand, and some NOS Energy Drink in the other while listening to Kid Rock. Extreme.
