Pics by Lutz<br />
<strong>2018</strong> will mark the 30th year of hosting these internationally<br />
recognized Bike Shows. The tour begins in Sacramento,<br />
California on January 13th, then heads to Charlotte, North<br />
Carolina on January 20th, then to Nashville, Tennessee<br />
on January 27th, before going back for its second year to<br />
Atlantic City, New Jersey on February 3rd and finally to Columbus,<br />
Ohio. All ages are welcome to these family- friendly<br />
events show casing hundreds of custom motorcycles.<br />
The Easyriders Bike Shows are some of the longest-running<br />
and most anticipated custom motorcycle shows of their<br />
kind and are known for uniquely offering local “backyard”<br />
builders a forum to compete and show their works of<br />
motorized art side-by-side with some of the biggest names<br />
in the custom motorcycle community. Basic bike show<br />
competition entry is free of charge and all bikes are voted<br />
on by the attending public as well as judged by Editors of<br />
Easyriders and V-Twin magazines, who will be scouting for<br />
bikes and builders to feature in the magazines.<br />
Check out the Sons of Speed board track racing bikes built<br />
by Billy <strong>Lane</strong> of Choppers, Inc. Each bike is a stripped down,<br />
1000cc, American V-twin with no brakes and no clutch. They<br />
are capable of traveling at speeds up to 80mph. These pre-<br />
1925 bikes are a nod to early days of motorcycle racing that<br />
took place on banked tracks built from wooden planks.<br />
Master custom bike builders Cory and Zach Ness of Arlen<br />
Ness Enterprises. Cory and Zach are the son and grandson<br />
(respectively) of the King of Custom Bikes, Arlen Ness was<br />
at the show. Their latest amazing builds and custom parts<br />
for Harley and Indian motorcycles were on display. You<br />
could have met Cory and Zach in person, got autographs<br />
and had taken photos with them.<br />
Michael Ballard, owner of the world’s largest biker bar, The<br />
Full Throttle Saloon was in attendance with Full Throttle<br />
Saloon semi, and authentic FTS merchandise.<br />
Other guest appearances include Paul Yaffe, founder<br />
of Bagger Nation and ranked as one of the true master<br />
builders in the motorcycle industry today. See his killer<br />
custom baggers, parts and accessories for touring bikes.<br />
NTC Drift Trikes, one of the most popular features of<br />
Easyriders Events in the past is back for another year<br />
showing off one-of-a-kind trikes and demonstrating their<br />
drifting capabilities every hour.<br />
The Purrfect Angelz showed off their choreographed dance<br />
performances live on the main stage and offered attendees<br />
photo opportunities. The founder of the Purrfect Angelz, Lisa<br />
Ligon, was the master of ceremonies for the <strong>2018</strong> tour.<br />

HANNUM’S FAMILY-OWNED DEALERSHIPS REVIVES SCRANTON’S<br />
‘ELECTRIC CITY HARLEY-DAVIDSON’<br />
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<br />
February 20, <strong>2018</strong> (Scranton, PA) - Hannum’s Harley-Davidson acquired Rommel Harley-Davidson of Scranton<br />
today, marking Hannum’s fourth dealership in Pennsylvania and fifth nationwide. This family-owned business<br />
(est. 1954) also owns and operates dealerships in Media, Chadds Ford and Sellersville, PA, as well as Rahway, NJ.<br />
The newly titled Electric City Harley-Davidson - a revival of the dealership’s original name and nod to Scranton’s<br />
unique historic identity - opened on THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1ST.<br />
The 32,000-square foot building, located at 1534 Scranton Carbondale Highway now houses hundreds of new and<br />
used Harley-Davidsons. The selection continues to be second-to-none with available inventory from all five<br />
locations now exceeding 500 units. Electric City also has full sales, service, parts and general merchandise<br />
departments, with the same knowledgeable and experienced staff for which Hannum’s is renown.<br />
“Between racing these tracks, riding the back roads and enjoying countless family adventures in the local<br />
mountains, we have been ensconced in this area for a long time and were thrilled when this opportunity arrived,”<br />
stated Tom Hannum III, a third-generation owner of Hannum’s Harley-Davidson. “The passion for Harley-<br />
Davidson out here is undeniable and we look forward to welcoming customers both old and new back to Electric<br />
City Harley-Davidson.”<br />
Electric City hosted a well-received Grand Opening event on Saturday, February 17 th , which included live music<br />
from Scranton’s own “The Hometown Boyz.” A full roster of Spring and Summer bike nights, workshops, and<br />
events is also underway. More information is available at www.hannumshd.com. Follow Hannum’s Harley-<br />
Davidson on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to stay updated. Hannum’s Makes it Happen!<br />

In 1954, Tom Hannum, Jr. was so passionate about motorcycles that he was able to convince his father, Tom<br />
Sr., to sell his automotive business to purchase a Harley-Davidson franchise. So began the Hannum’s Harley-<br />
Davidson dynasty, which continues to bring the “Thrill of the Ride” to customers throughout Pennsylvania,<br />
Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, and beyond. Hannum’s Harley-Davidson has been a family-owned and<br />
operated business since it first opened its doors on Chester Pike in Crum Lynne in 1954. As the business<br />
expanded the store was relocated to its current location in Media in 1959. A second location was added in<br />
Chadds Ford in 2000, a third location in Sellersville, PA in 2015 and a fourth location in Rahway, NJ in 2016.<br />
Family truly is at the heart of Hannum’s H-D. Tom Jr. was an avid racer and motorcycling enthusiast with a<br />
great respect for the iconic American brand. Over the years he passed this passion on to his wife Rita and two<br />
children, Tonda and Tom III. All three are actively involved in all aspects of the business today.<br />

Cross/Wind<br />
from out of the west<br />
you come all blow hard and bad ass,<br />
800 lbs of flesh and steel<br />
still, you push me across my lane<br />
as easily as a dried leaf scatters across a yard<br />
air sculpted face contorts into a grimace<br />
internal groans sing harmony<br />
with your jubilant howls<br />
twin pipes scream in protest<br />
while you muffle their thunder<br />
Galing gusts twisting and tangling hair<br />
no comb will ever pass through again<br />
Bitch wind, you cut me, like an invisible blade<br />
hacking me to bloodless pieces<br />
and scatter me across the plains<br />

Restless Spirit<br />
Memories etched upon his skin<br />
Tattoos and scars blend together<br />
Into wrinkles that will not fade with age<br />
His ride overhauled at a hundred thousand<br />
Heart repaired in the midst of sixties<br />
He chose to live his life in the wind<br />
Old school Brits built on a budget<br />
Back in the day when it wasn't cool to be a biker<br />
Sporty's and women came and went<br />
His mistress wind remaining faithful throughout<br />
Suffered through the downtime years<br />
Passion to ride burning deep down inside<br />
Restless spirit needing to roam<br />
Highways and byways back country roads<br />
Fate being chosen by destiny<br />
Now solo in saddle forever free<br />

Into the flame....<br />
Every muscle in her belly<br />
strained to hold her steady,<br />
while the energy of his body<br />
leaned into the wind<br />
and drew her into his flame--<br />
the thickness of his fingers<br />
slid her legs nearer to his hips<br />
the chill of autumn’s air<br />
stole her breath<br />
as the steady vibration of the engine<br />
stirred her blood - intoxicated her soul --<br />
As if one with their Harley stallion<br />
they glided through Essex farmlands<br />
on Old-New-England country-roads<br />
nature’s foreplay teased their senses<br />
their metal-steed’s tires kissed<br />
each narrow twist and turn.<br />
“Hang on, darlin..” he warned,<br />
then cut the wheel off-road …<br />
Their bodies banged, bounced up,<br />
then smashed right back down<br />
their boots found the foot-pegs<br />
pushed hard and stood straight up<br />
arms locked around his waist<br />
heart pounded against her chest<br />
breath froze in mid-air, and yet--<br />
from deep inside her gut<br />
she heard herself yell out:<br />
“Don’t stop … Not now … Not ever!”<br />
