30th motorcycle 

swap meet 

November 19, 2017 

Harrisburg Farm Complex, Harrisburg • PA 

story ridin’ & pics by Lutz 

I’ve always liked this swap meet as its has so much stuff to look at and many 

items can come home with you if the price is right! 

Motorcycles as well as any conceivable parts, all under one big roof and just 

before the holiday. So you can pick up that last minute goodie for your favorite 

biker while you’re here. There’s more than just parts, there’s plenty of memorable 

as well. Clothes, die-cast, etc, and some neat Harley related items that 

would look great in the garage as well. Lots of stock and aftermarket items for 

sale to finish up the final touches on your motorcycle. This event is on the to do 

list, so keep your eyes open for the next one.

ANNUAL BATTLE 

OF THE 

KINGS EVENT 

CONTINUES 

TO GROW 

June 19, 2018 

www.harley-davidson.com 

Started in 2015, the Battle of the Kings (BOTK) custom build 

competition is the largest dealer custom bike build competition 

in the world. Running in many markets including: Europe, 

Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Japan, Battle of the Kings is 

a great event for showcasing Harley-Davidson’s leadership in 

customization, including their vast range of parts and accessories 

amidst an increasingly competitive market. BOTK emphasizes 

the fact that Harley-Davidson ® dealers are custom 

experts and since 2015, H-D ® dealers have submitted over 

500 custom builds based on Street and Sportster ® platforms. 

Half way into 2018, more than 220 dealers in EMEA have 

already taken part in the competition! In an effort to create 

brand and product relevance for new and younger riders, Harley-Davidson 

has upped their game by expanding BOTK into 

Australia, Brazil, China, Columbia, India, Japan, Mexico and 

Thailand for the first time. Because of this expansion, Harley- 

Davidson is putting unique designs and the possibilities of 

customization within the reach of new and younger riders. 

The BOTK competition has 4 simple entry rules: 

• The base model must be a Harley-Davidson ® Dark Custom 

motorcycle; which in 2018 also includes two new Softail ® 

models – Street Bob ® and Fat Bob ® 

• The customization budget should be within 6,000 Euros (or 

equivalent amount in other currencies) 

• At least half of the custom parts and accessories must come 

from the official Harley-Davidson ® range 

• The motorcycle eventually must be road legal and sold at 

6,000 Euros above the retail price 

As regional winners are decided, the custom bike creations 

have been displayed at numerous motorcycle and lifestyle 

events, with a focus on attracting competitor owners. Harley- 

Davidson will announce the final winner (from the slew of regional 

winners) of the now international competition at Italy’s 

EICMA motorcycle show this November. 

Take a look at four of the current winners moving on to the 

finals on the left.

Bordentown • New Jersey 

Story, Ridin’ & Pics by Lutz 

Amy and Pat Moore are mother and father to Army Spc Benjamin 

Moore who was killed in Afghanistan. Amy a proud gold 

star mom and Pat for many years keep his spirit and memory 

alive with a yearly motorcycle event that benefits graduating 

firefighters and EMT’s from Burlington county for which Ben 

was involved in the local fire department. Cards where drawn 

at the beginning and along the way to which the best hand 

won. Once at the destination of the ride which was the Bordentown 

Elks, the parking lot was loaded up with bikes and now it 

was time to checkout the party! 

Rolling Thunder Chapter 2, who Pat and Amy belong to, were 

there to help out their friends. Outside some vendors had veteran 

related items for sale or you could go in and get some food, 

drink and relax and enjoy kicking back and looking around. 

Inside was a chinese auction or you could try your luck with 

the lottery hat. With many friends and family out to support this 

one you know it was sure to end up well.

Road Scribes Of America 

Non territorial 

The road is our home 

Taking on the miles 

And writing our Biker Poems 

An eclectic group of Bikers 

Eccentric some are called 

We are on a mission 

Trying to spread the word 

In books, magazines, and newspapers 

You'll read what's on our minds 

And out there on the highway 

Is where we're likely to be found 

Our rides are our pen 

The road is our page 

Every mile a stanza 

And gas is our ink 

© Sorez 

Road Scribes Of America 

The Simple Life 

A decent job to pay the bills 

A ride to call my own 

A righteous ol' lady waiting for me 

Whenever I get home 

An open road with cagers few 

On a brisk cold sunny day 

An open door with welcoming arms 

And a warm embrace 

A moonlit highway 

A fresh paved road 

Another gear up on the throttle 

The simple life is the one I live 

As long as there's roads to be traveled 

© Sorez The Scribe RSOA 

Who Turns Out The Light? 

Smell the tar and asphalt 

On which the wheels of progress roll 

Roaming trail of concrete 

Where highway’s ribbons flow 

We could leave a better place 

For the future of our young 

Instead we leave them desolation 

And progress never done. 

There are always prophets 

They come from time to time 

To guide us to a resting place 

That we alone can’t find. 

We see the world in parables 

In ways that it might be 

Without an understanding 

Of the things, that set us free 

Is there such a thing as afterlife? 

In visions we can’t see 

Do the visions shade salvation? 

Will the truth now set us free? 

We have pockets full of empty 

And a suitcase full of dreams 

With ambitions under lock and key 

To protect us from ourselves, 

We are strangers in the universe 

Condemned by wrong and right 

Searching through the shadows 

In the darkness of the night, 

When there is no more souls to leave a ghost town 

Who then, turns out the light?
