- StarPress: Motorcycling has spiritual meaning for the Pinkertons
"Becky and Charlie Pinkerton say riding their motorcycle helps them weather the bumps along life's highway. Recently, the couple completed their fifth "Run For the Son" 100-mile ride to raise money for the Christian Motorcyclists Association, an international non-profit ministry.They also are members of Harley Davidson Owners Group. "It's not a social thing," Charlie said about the CMA. "We gather once a month and we have breakfast and prayer.""
- rider: Boss Hoss To Cruise The Streets At Americade
"Every Boss Hoss is engineered for total performance, not just speed, and has 3-4 times the power of any production bike in the world. The upgraded line of 2006 bikes and trikes features sleek rounded front and rear fenders. For increased visibility, transmission positioned indicator lights have been added to the dash mounted LED display on all models. LED lighting, known for its durability and long life, will now be used for all bike signal lights, and new models will also include a serpentine belt system for the alternator. For added comfort, the once optional Mustang trike seat has now been made standard on the new 2006 models. Boss Hoss Cycles are easy to handle and feature 2-speed automatic transmissions with a ‘real’ reverse. Boss Hoss bikes and trikes are available in 355 or 502 horsepower."
- rider: Buell Ulysses nominated Best New Engineered
"Nominated for transforming the ultra short 52 inch wheelbase of the XB12 Lightning sportbike into an adventure touring bike with real off-highway capabilities. The XB series Buells were already engineering innovations with their massive aluminum frames doubling as fuel tanks, swingarms serving as oil reservoirs and their unique “inside-out” disc brakes. Even the big-can under engine muffl er, once considered a curiosity, has now found vindication as both Yamaha and Suzuki are using similar designs on their latest sportbikes."
- rider: Ironhorse Anniversary Texas Chopper Nominted Best New Style Bike for 2006
"American IronHorse Special Edition 10th Anniversary Texas Chopper is nominated Best New Style for 2006 for creating a 125 of a kind killer custom. At $50,000, this bike isn’t going to win any Best Buy awards, but from a purely stylistic viewpoint, this baby is the Pamela Anderson of motorcycles. It’s so sexy that it makes men, women and small children stop and gawk (Exactly what Pam used to do before Tommy Lee). From the S&S 124 engine with diamond cut, black powder coated heads and cylinders, to the chrome V handlebars and matching custom painted billet headlight to the show stopping all chrome frame, this bike has ‘tude to spare."
