Hells Angels for the kids

Probably most of you don't think the words Hells Angels and kids belong in the same sentence. et, as it seems, when a kid is in need, the chapters, rivalries and all the outlaw rhetoric fade away.

According to kmph.com, this is not the first time the Fresno "Hells Angels" donated for the kids at the Poverello House. In fact, this is the 12th year the bearded bikers showed their support for the Fresno kids.

We want to make sure to bring these toys here for these kids to have a great Christmas," Merl Hefferman, secretary of the Fresno Hells Angels was quoted as saying by kmph.com.

Fresno's “Hells Angels Motorcycle Club” members revved up their hogs for a good cause Saturday.

The organization is showing their giving spirit by collecting and delivering toys and blankets for Fresno's Poverello House
The Poverello House is a nonprofit that's been serving the hungry and homeless in Fresno since 1973.

The toys will be distributed on Christmas morning. Poverello House now serves approximately 1,200-1,400 meals a day.
When you think of Hells Angels, most people think of a rough group of guys on motorcycles.

But this weekend, the hard-core bikers showed they have big, soft hearts.

We want to make sure to bring these toys here for these kids to have a great Christmas," said Merl Hefferman, secretary of the Fresno Hells Angels.

The tough guys donated 30 bikes and about 500 toys to the Poverello House for kids whose parents can't afford to go shopping for Christmas gifts.

For the past 12 years, the Poverello House counted on these bikers to play Santa for a day.

American Chopper which aired on Discovery

The American Chopper: A Family Divided special show, which aired on Discovery in the beginning of the week, appears to have been only the beginning of the show's return to the Discovery Channel. Until now aired by sister television TLC as American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior, the very successful story of the Teutul family will come back to where it all started on Monday, December 6.

The switch is attributed to Clark Bunting, the channel's general manager, who also has made a comeback to Discovery.
"American Chopper" is motoring back to Discovery Channel.
The franchise, which introduced the Orange County Choppers family to Discovery viewers in 2003, moved to sister cabler TLC in 2007.
"American Chopper" actually first returned to Discovery this past Monday, Nov. 29, with the special "American Chopper: A Family Divided."
Bunting said he's been looking to build up the channel's brands, and "Chopper" has its roots at Discovery.
A lot has changed with "American Chopper" since its original Discovery days.
Called American Chopper: A Family Divided, the show is intended to be a completely new approach to the problems the Teutuls have had recently.

“In the emotional new November 29 special, the Teutul family take a close look at where their family is now and how and why it fell apart,” Discovery's show synopsis reads.

“New interviews from all three explore the key events that led to Paul Sr.'s estrangement from his sons. Perhaps American Chopper: A Family Divided will shed some more light on Sr.'s reasons for drifting away from his sons.

Scooter-BMW Motorrad division, the Concept C scooter

After the MINI E Scooter Concept, BMW returns today with their own-branded scooter: BMW Concept C. Built by the BMW Motorrad division, the Concept C scooter extends BMW’s reach into future mobility.

BMW Motorrad brings a solution to the table in a concept form at this stage.

At a recent trade show in Italy, BMW’s motorcycle division showcased a new scooter concept, dubbed the Concept C.
It appears that BMW is refocusing its energies on selling scooters. BMW had displayed a Mini-branded electric scooter at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.

The “C” nomenclature isn’t just a reference to the C1, BMW's previous scooter venture. BMW considers these small, efficient two-wheelers as a terrific means for personal transportation in congested urban areas

BMW's concept brings sexy to the scooter.
Leave it to BMW's Motorrad division to make a scooter that's absolutely stunning.

The Concept C does away with your typical scooter stylings.
At 2010 EICMA show in Milan, BMW unveiled their first Concept C scooter. “C” letter stands for commuter and the new Concept is a study of a sporty premium scooter that previews the brand’s enter in the big scooter segment.

In the near future, BMW Motorrad division plans to launch two premium models of the the Concept C both with internal combustion engines.

BMW Concept C incorporated many design elements from Motorrad models, including the “split face” with integrated LED headlamp. Unlike the L-shaped profile of most big scooters with their predominantly vertical body lines and colour scheme, the Concept’s body lines sweep up to the rear, forming a “high-tail” rear section that emphasises lightness and agility.

Braking is taken care of by dual front discs with GP-style, radial-mount callipers and a single rear disc with BMW’s proven antilock braking system.

JT Racing is back

JT Racing will be the Presenting Sponsor this weekend when JT Racing founders John and Rita Gregory are inducted into the Hall of Fame. After the motorcycle world honors John and Rita Gregory for their legendary past this weekend, JT Racing will be looking to the future with its new line of motocross gear.

The legendary motocross gear company is back and ready for action. JT Racing, which was at the top of the Motocross game in the 1970's, 80's, and 90's, is back with a new line of high end riding gear.

The world will get its first glimpse of the new gear this weekend in Las Vegas when John and Rita Gregory, who founded the company in 1970, are inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame. JT Racing will also be the Presenting Sponsor of the event.

“With JT Racing founders John and Rita Gregory becoming members of the Motorcycle Hall of Fame at our induction ceremony, JT Racing is a perfect fit for this gala event," said Jeff Heininger, chairman of the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation.

JT Racing will be re-launching its brand this year.
JT Racing has always been on top of the motocross game, and they will continue that tradition in 2011.

We’ve taken the best JT designs and technical legacies, modernized them with the latest technology and build quality, and repacked them with the highest levels of style, durability and function,” said David Dray, JT Racing's CEO. “We’re bringing back the whole notion of quality and elegance to the motocross world, just as JT Racing did back in the day as it established itself as a world-class motocross brand all those years ago. JT Racing, which revolutionized the motocross world with the ALS lid, the world's first full face motocross helmet, is introducing a new helmet this year, the ALS-02. JT Racing will also be releasing pants, gloves, and jerseys this year.

JT Racing has proven it's worth throughout this year, and this weekend the motorcycle world honors JT Racing, and John and Rita Gregory, for their historic past. Over the years, JT Racing has built a loyal following, and there are many legendary racers already throwing their support behind the brand.

“We've got a load of legendary riders supporting JT Racing, too, including Broc Glover, Chuck Sun, Danny Laporte, Marty Smith, Rob Lechien and others,” said Mitch Boehm, a spokesman for JT Racing.

The American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation is proud to announce that JT Racing, a leading manufacturer of top-of-the-line racing gear and apparel, will be the presenting sponsor for the 2010 Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, presented by JT Racing, on Friday, Nov. 19, at the Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa in Las Vegas, Nev.

Then at noon on Saturday, the AMA honors the best of the amateur racing community at the 2010 AMA Racing Championship Banquet, presented by World of Powersports, and co-hosted by announcers Laurette Nicoll and Griff Allen.

JT Racing USA, the most innovative and legendary motocross gear company of the '70s, '80s and '90s, is back for 2011 with an exciting new line of high-end and uniquely advanced riding gear.
The 2011 Motocross Collection makes its sneak-peak debut at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction ceremony in Las Vegas on Nov. 19-20, and is sure to generate a serious buzz at the AMA ceremony and in the months to come.

Not only will JT Racing founders John and Rita Gregory be inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame, but several legendary Team JT champions will be on hand to help generate additional excitement, including World Champ Danny LaPorte and AMA champions Broc Glover, Donnie Hansen, Jim Gibson, Ronnie Lechien and Chuck Sun.

The 2011 Collection represents a substantial re-think of innovation, functionality, protection and comfort.

Our designs, engineering and innovation are nothing short of world class. ALS (Air Line System) for maximum breathability. As the world's first full-face motocross helmet, it featured full venting, an integrated visor, a built-in goggle strap path and an ultra-radical shape. The ALS helmet revolutionized the MX industry and paved the way for today's highly protective full-face motocross helmets.
Everything we've done for 2011 has been optimized in the areas of smart design, maximum protection, optimum durability, superb fit and clean styling - just as JT Racing did it back in the day.
David Dray (CEO of JT Racing) says: "What we've done is bring back the very best of JT Racing. We've taken the best JT designs and technical legacies, modernized them with the latest technology and build quality, and repacked them with the highest levels of style, durability and function."

THE promising career of Biloela motocross rider Harley Quinlan appears to be over after a tragic training accident where he suffered serious neck injuries.
GYTR Rockstar Yamaha development team manager Scott Bishop told Central Telegraph Quinlan had suffered severe damage and he had surgery to fuse and pin his spine at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane on Wednesday.
Quinlan is only now starting to regain consciousness while family and friends have rallied around the downed rider.
Mr Bishop said Harley's Mum Donna travelled down from Biloela to Brisbane on Wednesday afternoon to join Quinlan's dad to be by his bedside.
A trust account to help the Quinlan family with rehabilitation costs has been set up
"Passion, dedication, commitment and a driving will to succeed will see Quinlan overcome this set back," Mr Bishop said.
Quinlan's Facebook page was filled with well wishes.
“Get well soon mate, you'll pull through, you're a big inspiration for so many other riders like myself,” Fellow rider Jordan Dobell wrote.

SUNSHINE Coast rider Ford Dale says he’ll dedicate this weekend’s round of the Supercross series to best mate and rival Harley Quinlan who is facing life in a wheelchair.
On Tuesday Quinlan suffered a serious neck injury after crashing during practice at a track at Fernvale, west of Brisbane.
Dale and Caboolture-based Quinlan regularly trained together at Caloundra and both rode for Yamaha in the Pro-Lites division.
Quinlan, who raced for the GYTR Rockstar Yamaha team, was in sixth spot on the Pro-Lites leaderboard going into this weekend’s fourth round of the Supercross series in Auckland with Ford, who rides for Serco Yamaha, in 10th.
Dale said Quinlan knew the risks of motocross racing and his mate’s accident would not affect his decision to race in the future.
Doctors have confirmed it is extremely unlikely that Harley will regain any movement or feeling below his chest, although suggest his shoulders and arms should regain movement.

Quinlan is only now starting to regain consciousness while family and friends have rallied around the downed rider.

"On behalf of Yamaha, we are shocked and saddened by the news of Harley's injuries. We send our thoughts, prayers and best wishes to Harley and the Quinlan family in this difficult time," says Motorsport Manager, Ray Howard.

The battle now begins for a long rehabilitation process for Quinlan that will require extensive stays in Hospital and long periods of physiotherapy.

Harley Davidson start assembling bikes in India

Harley-Davidson India imports completely assembled motorcycles from its US final assembly plants. Besides India, outside the US, the company has CKD assembly operations in Brazil.

After the Haryana facility will be operational, Harley-Davidson India will import CKD kits for select models from the company's US plants and employees at the Haryana facility will then assemble the components into finished motorcycles, the company added.

Harley-Davidson India commenced operations in August 2009 and currently offers 12 models in its 2010 line-up in India.

After prolonged negotiations, India had relaxed emission norms for big bikes above 800cc in order to let Harley Davidson sell its products here after the US agreed to allow Indian mangoes to be sold there in 2007.
Prakash, however, declined to specify the installed capacity of the plant that would assemble completely knocked down (CKD) units of bikes. The company, which started selling its products since July this year, is expecting sell 200-250 units by the end of 2010, Prakash said.
iconic American superbike maker Harley Davidson is setting up an assembly unit at Bawal, Haryana. The move will help Harley substantially cut the price of its bikes in India. The domestic price of Harleys ranges from Rs 6.95 lakh to Rs 34.95 lakh-- BMW will also start operations in December.
Harley Davidson India Managing Director Anoop Prakash said, "We are evaluating the tariff structures
Harley Davidson currently offers 12 models belonging to five families: Sportster, Dyna, Softail, V-Rod and Touring-- Our customers do belong to a higher income group--. Priced at Rs 34.95 lakh, the Electra Glide is the most expensive model in the Harley Davidson portfolio at present. "Electra Glide is our touring flagship model-- Globally, Harley Davidson would sell 1,000 units of the Electra Glide," added Tripathi--"Delhi and Mumbai are our biggest markets.
