Florida Proposes Reckless Motorcycle Law

The State of Florida is attempting to get tough on motorcyclists riding recklessly, with the introduction of a new bill in the State House of Representatives.

HB137 2008 specifies that if a law enforcement officer charges a person with reckless driving, or driving 30mph over the speed limit, and who was riding a motorcycle at the time, the officer must arrest the rider, take him or her into custody, and seize the motorcycle, which will be subject to forfeiture under Florida's Contraband Forfeiture Act.

If that person is convicted, the court will order the Department of Motor Vehicles to revoke their motorcycle endorsement, and leave them only with the ability to drive a cage.

If the bill is signed into law, it will take effect October 1, 2008.

Quentin Tarantino Presents Hell Ride

Quentin Tarantino Presents Hell Ride
 
Posted: 12/18/07

The recently announced Hell Ride the upcoming biker movie produced by Quentin Tarantino, written and directed by Larry Bishop, who also stars in the movie along with Michael Madsen, Dennis Hopper, Eric Balfour and Vinnie Jones. A tribute to the old 60's biker flicks. With Quentin Tarantino as producer, it's reasonable to assume that this will be a kick ass biker flick! I'm personally looking forward to seeing it. I loved the Grindhouse movies, so hopefully this will be as cool. Maybe this will help the biker industry out of it's slump, like Easyrider popularized bikers in the 60's. Their is no release date set. For more info: Click Here
 
2007 Seminole Hard Rock Roadhouse
Star Studded Bash
 
 

Posted: 12/18/07

HOLLYWOOD, FLA – December 18, 2007 – The Seminole Hard Rock Roadhouse Tour made it’s final stop for 2007 in true Hard Rock style joined by two of America’s favorite rockers, legendary Aerosmith front man, Steven Tyler and Motley Crue’s Vince Neil.

The weekend kicked off at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida with Steven Tyler’s donation of a new outfit to the Hard Rock that he presented while perched on one the first bikes on the road from his new Red Wing Motorcycle company.

The same evening held the Fort Lauderdale Harley-Davidson “Bikers Bash” that benefits the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County. Featured entertainment was hosted by Grammy winner/songwriter RICHIE SUPA’S UNPLUGGED Show with performances by Steven Tyler, Vince Neil, country music singer/songwriter Brett James, singer/songwriter Shelly Fairchild and acclaimed Grammy winner/songwriter Stephanie Smith. Other motorcycle-riding celebrities in attendance included Ami James from Miami Ink, supermodel Niki Taylor, NASCAR driver Burney Lamar and NFL Hall of Famer Terry Kirby and a list of renowned builders including Dave Perewitz, Eddie Trotta/Thunder Cycles, Aaron Greene/Paramount Cycles, Roger Bourget and Dale Parker/Wide Open Cycles. The night helped raise over $100,000 featuring auction items such as Hard Rock guitars signed by rock stars around the world and two custom motorcycles; one by Sucker Punch Sally’s and one built on “The Today Show” by the Chopper Chicks Crew. This entire night of entertainment, great food and cocktails was underwritten by the Seminole Hard Rock, the Seminole Tribe of Florida and Bruce Rossmeyer Harley-Davidson with all proceeds going to the Boys & Girls Club of Broward County.

Carrie Repp, producer/promoter of the Seminole Hard Rock Roadhouse said, “The Seminole Hard Rock Roadhouse Tour wrapped up the year with a bang. There is no other place you can experience great rock and roll from the likes of Steven Tyler and Vince Neil at a great venue like the Seminole Hard Rock while being surrounded by the best custom bike builders in the country. The best part was that all the proceeds went to charity, once again proving that bikers and rockers have the biggest hearts.”

The weekend of events culminated, with the “SFPC’s 20th Annual Christmas Toys in the Sun Run.” This is the world’s longest motorcycle parade with over 30,000 riders police-escorted on a stretch of 25-miles of closed down highways. The destination featured the Seminole Hard Rock Roadhouse, vendors and builders and performances by Richie Supa & Friends opening for Vince Neil on the main stage. The Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital benefited from the day with a check presentation and thousands of toys brought by riders that will be distributed by the SFPC to children for a very special Christmas.

The Seminole Hard Rock Roadhouse 2008 year will be kicked off at Daytona Bike Week at the Dog House on Main Street. Other ‘08 locations include Sturgis, Myrtle Beach, Laconia, Biketoberfest and Fort Lauderdale.
