CONGRATS STURGIS 2009 TRIP WINNERS!

Attorney Fran Haasch

Congrats Sturgis Trip Winners!

www.LawFran.com







Hello Everyone,


Welcome to our special edition 2009 Sturgis
Giveaway newsletter.  Thank you so much for coming out and making this
one of the most memorable nights of my lifetime.   Although the weather
was stifling hot, at least it didn’t rain.  Bill Church from Quaker
Steak told me that it was one of the top 3 best bike nights ever!





We were supposed
to draw for one lucky winner that would be taking whomever he/she
wanted, but, on the way to The Lube, my husband and I were talking about
a family trip we had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances.  Since
we had already set aside the money for the trip, we thought that it
would be a great surprise and really mean a lot more to our motorcycle
community to draw for another lucky winner and put that money back into
the economy.  So, instead of two lucky people going to Sturgis, we are
sending four!





The first lucky
winner was Tony Wheeler of Tarpon Springs, Florida.  Tony is taking his
best friend Stan and their beautiful Harleys (and their beautiful
wives).  Tony will be shipping his Fat Boy and Stan will be shipping his
Softail.





The second lucky
winner was Melissa Smith of Pinellas Park, Florida.  Melissa would like
to give the trip to her father and brother.





I have quite a
list of people to thank for helping make our 2009 Sturgis Giveaway such
an extremely successful event:  Bill Church and Quaker Steak and Lube
for hosting the event, Ron and Debbie Galletti with Born To Ride
Magazine and TV for helping promote the giveaway and the upcoming
magazine and TV special, Tony Cianci with Full Throttle and Valerie
Smith with Rider Now Productions and Mike Savidge with Go For A Ride
magazine for covering the event, and Rick Rosen and Rebecca Bunetta with
Motorcycle Freight (1-800-BIKE TOW) in helping secure the rooms at the
Rapid City Quality Inn and transporting the bikes to Sturgis.









Most importantly,
I want to extend my extreme heartfelt thanks to the people reading this
email.  Without you and your support over the last 9 years, none of this
would have been possible.  For that, I am endlessly grateful.  We’ve had
such a positive response to this year’s Sturgis Giveaway; will
definitely be holding a 2010 Sturgis Giveaway next year!  Thank you for
all the thoughtful emails and kind words at the event.  My firm and I
are forever indebted to our local motorcycle community.





Please stay tuned
for updates on the winners and make sure to check out the stories in the
upcoming issues Born To Ride, Full Throttle, Go FAR magazine.  Ron
Galletti will be accompanying the winners to Sturgis and will be filming
for a video documentary that will air on Born To Ride TV.

LANE
SPLITTING


Motorcyclists have the unique ability to use
different parts of a lane depending on what riding situations may
arise.  With the narrow width of a motorcycle, riders are able to take a
position within the lane to maximize visibility, avoid problem areas of
the lane, and have the quickest “out” possible.  However, some riders
choose to use the slender profile of a motorcycle in order to cut in
between cars and avoid traffic jams. 


In Florida, splitting lanes during a traffic jam,
or at any time, is actually illegal.  Is it more or less dangerous
though?  Some studies have shown that traffic collisions in a state like
California, where lane splitting is legal, may actually happen less
frequently when compared to a state like Florida.  One devastating type
of accident that was significantly reduced was the occurrence of rear
end collisions.  When a motorcyclist has the ability to split lanes,
he/she is no longer at the mercy of traffic approaching from behind. 


Even though lane splitting is illegal in Florida,
riders still occasionally zip in between cars in the face of a traffic
jam.  This, however, is dangerous considering that Floridians aren’t
used to this kind of behavior.  A rider runs the risk of an oblivious
driver drifting across lane lines or a spiteful driver not wanting a
motorcyclist to cut in line/get ahead.  The fact of the matter is that
more study concerning lane splitting is needed and until then, it will
likely remain illegal in Florida and many other states.


 


 RIDE
TO WORK DAY


June 15,
2009 was the 18th annual International Ride to Work Day. 
While motorcycles are routinely viewed as toys or recreational vehicles,
this day is a good chance to show off the advantages/positives of using
a motorcycle to commute.  Motorcycles use less fuel, cause less
congestion, have less impact on the roadways, and take up less space in
a parking lot.  According to

www.ridetowork.org
, three to five motorcycles can fit into the
amount of space it takes for just one car.  With the amount of riders on
the roadways expected to double on Ride to Work Day, the hope is that
the public sees the practicality behind two-wheeled transportation. 
Hopefully employers will make an exception for leathers in the office. 






BIKE BAILOUT


It is very easy to see how hard the credit
crunch/bad economy is hitting the automotive industry, but the
motorcycle industry is being faced with far worse economic woes. 
Financing a motorcycle has traditionally been more difficult than
financing a car or mortgaging a house, the rational being based in
necessity.  A motorcycle is viewed as a luxury item that consumers can
do without, especially when compared to a house or car.  Additionally,
if an individual is faced with financial hardship, a motorcycle payment
will likely be one of the first things to be neglected, particularly
when compared to having a roof over your head. 


This credit crunch is even having an effect on
individuals with excellent credit scores, looking for a new motorcycle
to throw a leg over.  Credit companies are just not willing to take the
risk of an individual defaulting on a loan, regardless of credit
history/score.  If an individual is looking to finance a used
motorcycle, the prospects are even slimmer.  While this may seem like
bad news to those looking for a new motorcycle, there are still
manufactures out there offering direct financing through the
dealership.  A prime example of this is Harley-Davidson. 


With the ability to cater to new customers being
hampered by credit companies, dealerships are having to rely more
heavily on their current customers’ utilizing service departments and
ordering parts/accessories.




DRINKING AND RIDING


While it should not have to be said that drinking
and riding do not mix, it never hurts to have a little reminder every
now and then.  The fact of the matter is that even marginal amounts of
alcohol can have an affect on your ability to operate a motorcycle
safely and effectively. 


According to the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, even
a small amount of alcohol in your system can increase your chances of an
accident by five times.  A Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) over 0.05 makes
you 40 times more likely to experience an accident.  The thing that many
people forget or never realize is that you do not have to have a BAC
over 0.08 in order to be cited for driving under the influence/while
intoxicated (DUI or DWI).  If an officer finds that you are impaired and
unable to operate a motor vehicle, even if you are below that magical
0.08 limit, you may still be cited, depending on the specific
circumstances.  The scary thing is that, by the time you reach a BAC of
0.08, reasoning abilities and motor skills are already greatly
impaired.     


While this all may seem very paternalistic, having
alcohol in your system at the time of an accident may greatly affect any
claims you may have arising from said accident.  If, while riding home
from the bar, a car were to pull out in front of you and cause an
accident, a jury may find that the alcohol in your system impaired your
ability to avoid the accident and find you partly negligent.  This would
lessen any potential recovery you may receive.  In Florida, this is
referred to as “Comparative Negligence.”  A sober motorcyclist faced
with the same hypothetical accident would fare much better because there
would likely be little, if any, negligence attributed to the rider.


Just remember, next time you show up for a local
bike night, alcohol may not only increase chances of injury while riding
impaired, it will also potentially decrease any recovery received, even
for an accident that was out of your control.


HEAR ME
ROAR


Up until recently, motorcycle appearance and size
has been geared mainly towards male riders.  However, a company located
in Daytona Beach, Florida, is determined to change that in favor of
women.  With ridership among females on the rise, this idea could not
have come at a better time.


The big concern with female riders is the fit of
the motorcycle.  There is nothing more unsettling than pulling up to a
stop light and feeling like you are teetering between your big toes. 
Roar offers customization of your current bike or you can choose from
bikes that have already been modified and sorted into engine and rider
size categories.  It is this precise fit which will help inspire
confidence and boost the ability of women riders.


The Roar shop does not just limit itself to
motorcycles.  They offer a full showroom of riding clothes, accessories,
and jewelry to outfit any rider or enthusiast.  For more information on
Roar and its products, which have already built up wide spread appeal,
visit

www.roarmotorcycles.com

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY AWARENESS MONTH


Even though it is now July, we hope that May had
lived up to its name as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month.  As
Floridians, we are spoiled with the ability to ride year round.  Summer
does not officially start until June; however, May marks the beginning
of weather which truly presents some exceptional riding possibilities in
other parts of our beautiful country.  With a good number of northern
residents taking the covers off their motorcycles for the upcoming
summer riding season, the month of May is a good time to admonish
drivers to keep an eye out for those who are less conspicuous. 


May has been recognized as Motorcycle Safety
Awareness Month for quite some time by many organizations and now the
U.S. House has followed suit.  H.Res. 269 “[r]ecognizes the contribution
motorcycles make to the transportation mix; [e]ncourages all road users
to be more aware of motorcycles and motorcyclists’ safety; [e]ncourages
all riders to receive appropriate training and practice safe riding
skills; and [s]upports the goals of Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month.” 
The House also recognized that motorcycles “are fuel-efficient and
decrease congestion while having little impact on transportation
infrastructure.”


Just remember to continuously be mindful of your
surroundings, consider the other drivers trying to share the road with
you, and always drive/ride safely.

Don’t Forget - Important Florida Motorcycle Information



In order to legally operate a motorcycle in Florida you must have a motorcycle endorsement on your drivers license. This endorsement can be obtained by taking a motorcycle safety test at your local department of motor vehicles. Additionally, as of recent Florida legislation, motorcycle operators must take and pass the motorcycle safety course -

You and Your Motorcycle: Riding Tips

http://www.msf-usa.org/

The staff at the Motorcycle Safety Foundation has prepared this booklet to provide you - the motorcycle rider - with important tips that can help save your life and be a better rider!

15 Riding-In-Traffic Tips

15 Riding-In-Traffic Tips
Basics? Sure. But keeping them fresh in your cranial RAM could be the difference between riding tomorrow and The Long Nap

Close your eyes and recall your last ride in heavy traffic. Imagine the vehicles surrounding you, crowding you, cutting you off. Imagine yourself monitoring closing speeds, reading street signs, noticing and anticipating traffic lights. Then imagine guessing what pedestrians will do, or how slippery that painted line might be. And those drivers with cell phones, newspapers or screaming kids to deal with...imagine trying to guess what they're going to do.

Riding in traffic can be a nightmare, especially for street-riding newcomers. Is it any wonder so many motorcyclists crash and burn while riding on congested streets? It's amazing how many different tasks motorcyclists deal with on a normal traffic-choked commute. Doing it successfully means processing a multitude of items at once and reacting correctly to each. Doing it wrong can mean roadkill--the human kind.Here are 15 smart strategies for dealing with traffic-choked streets.

Watch drivers' heads and mirrors
Watching the head movements of drivers through their windows and mirrors is an excellent way to anticipate sudden moves. Most drivers won't lunge left or right without first moving their heads one way or another (even if they don't check their mirrors).

Trust your mirrors, but not totally
Your bike's mirrors can be lifesavers, but they don't always tell the entire story even if they're adjusted properly. In traffic, always buttress your mirror-generated rear view with a glance over the appropriate shoulder. Do it quickly and you'll add an extra measure of rear-view and blind-spot knowledge to your info-gathering tasks.



Never get between a vehicle and an offramp
This sounds almost too simple, but drivers who decide to exit at the last minute kill plenty of riders each year. The simple rule, then, is to never position yourself between a vehicle and an offramp. Passing on the right is generally a no-no, but in this day and age it's sometimes necessary. So if you do it, do so between exits or cross-streets.

Cover your brakes
In traffic you must often react extra quickly, which means not fumbling for the brake lever or pedal. To minimize reach time, always keep a finger or two on the brake lever and your right toe close to the rear brake pedal. When that cell phone-yakking dorkus cuts across your path trying to get to the 7-Eleven for a burrito supreme, you'll be ready.

Be noticed
Make sure drivers and pedestrians can see you, even from a distance. Ride with your high beam on during the day (as a courtesy, turn it off when sitting behind someone at a light), and wear brightly colored gear, especially your helmet and jacket. Aerostich's Hi Vis yellow suits and jackets aren't just hugely conspicuous, they've also become fashionable, so now you don't have an excuse.

Be ready with the power
In traffic, ride in a gear lower than you normally would so your bike is ready to jump forward instantly if asked. (Not everyone rides open-class twins, after all.) Doing so gives you the option of leaping ahead instead of being limited to just using the brakes when that pickup suddenly moves over. The higher revs might also alert more cagers to your presence.



Traffic slowing? Stay left (or right)
When traffic slows suddenly, stay to the left or right of the car in front of you. This will give you an escape route if needed. It will also help keep you from becoming a hood ornament if the car behind you fails to stop in time. Once you've stopped, be ready--clutch in, your bike in gear and your eyes on the mirrors. You never know.

Practice the scan
Constantly scanning your entire environment while riding--from instruments to mirrors to the road ahead to blind spots to your left and right rear--keeps you aware and in touch with your situation, and therefore better able to react. Dwelling on one area too long--watching only behind or in front of you, for instance--is just begging for trouble.

Left-turn treachery
When approaching an oncoming car that's stopped and about to turn left, be ready. Your brights should be on so the driver can see you (during the day), but don't rely on this to save you. Watch the car's wheels or the driver's hands on the steering wheel; if you see movement, be ready to brake, swerve or accelerate, whichever seems best for the situation.

Study the surface
Add asphalt conditions to your scan. Be on the lookout for spilled oil, antifreeze or fuel; it'll usually show up as shiny pavement. Also keep an eye out for gravel and/or sand, which is usually more difficult to see. Use your sense of smell, too; often you can smell spilled diesel fuel before your tires discover how slippery the stuff is.



Ride in open zones
Use your bike's power and maneuverability to ride in open zones in traffic. In any grouping of vehicles there are always some gaps; find these and ride in them. Doing so will separate you from four-wheelers, give you additional room to maneuver and allow you to keep away from dangerous blind spots. And vary your speed. Riding along with the flow can make you invisible to other drivers, especially in heavy traffic.

Use that thumb
Get into the habit of canceling your turn signals often regardless of the traffic situation. A blinking signal might tell drivers waiting to pull into the road or turning left in front of you that you're about to turn when you aren't. So push that switch a few times each minute. Better to wear out the switch than eat a Hummer's hood, eh?

It's good to be thin
A huge advantage single-track vehicles have over four-wheelers is their ability to move left and right within a lane to enable the rider to see what's ahead. Whether you're looking to the side of the cars ahead or through their windshields, seeing what's coming can give you lots of extra time to react.

More than one way out
Yeah, motorcycles fall down. But they're also light, narrow and hugely maneuverable, so you might as well learn to exploit their strengths when things get ugly, right? So don't just brake hard in a hairball situation. There's almost always an escape route. Swerving into Mrs. Smith's front yard could be a lot better than centerpunching the Buick that turned left in front of you. Always have an escape route planned, and update it minute by minute.

Running interference
This one's easy, and we'll bet most of you already do it: Let larger vehicles run interference for you when negotiating intersections. If the bonehead coming toward you from the left or right is going to blow the light, better they hit the box van next to you, right? For the same reasons, don't lunge through an intersection as soon as the light turns green. Be patient, and use the vehicles next to you as cover.

February 2009 Newsletter
www.LawFran.com

Hello Everyone,
Welcome to our February Newsletter and thank you for making 2008 such a memorable year. We had many successful fundraisers and fun-filled charitable events that owe their success to you, Born To Ride magazine and TV, Full Throttle and Go For A Ride magazine.

I look forward to 2009 being an even better year of incredible events and giving away the 2009 Harley-Davidson Cross Bones on February 11th at Quaker Steak and Lube. Born To Ride will be there shooting pictures and video for an upcoming feature in their magazine and TV show. Remember, you do not have to be present to win the motorcycle, but I would love to hand the keys to the winner in person! The drawing for the motorcycle will be at 9:15pm; I don’t want to keep any of you up too late on a school night.

I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy a little bit (or a lot) of the Super Bowl hype that swept through the Tampa Bay area. I was lucky enough to attend the game and a few of the parties. It was excellent that that our local community got to shine so brightly on such an international stage. We got to show the world what an outstanding location Tampa Bay is to live and visit.

A few weekends ago there was an amazing turnout for the Swamp Cabbage Jam that was held all day Saturday at the Linger Lodge in Bradenton. I hope you all got a chance to get out and enjoy a ride in the beautiful weather. We sponsored the bike show and I want to congratulate Mr. Gary Grubbs (of Deadwood Stampede fame) for taking “Best of Show.” For those of you that didn’t make the event, definitely get on your bike, ride over to the Linger Lodge (www.lingerlodgeresort.com/) and spend an afternoon in one of the most unique and unusual examples of “Old Florida” that our beautiful state has to offer. Please click here for event pictures.

We stopped by to celebrate LAMA’s 2ndAnniversary Party. There were over 600 bikes and almost 300 members from their statewide chapters at this fun and family-friendly event. I look forward to doing it again next year. Please click here for event pictures.

Even with Gasparilla going on, Plant City had a great crowd and some amazing bikes (and it was finally warm enough that you didn’t need to wear a snowmobile suit to ride there!) Please click here for event pictures.

And, to all my friends at the clubhouse, I hope you enjoyed the sandwiches! Thanks for all the support.

With Many Thanks,

INSURANCE COVERAGE

GAP Insurance is an important part of the buying process when you purchase your new bike or vehicle. This type of insurance coverage is usually offered through the dealership where you are making your purchase. GAP Insurance is a separate policy than your bike or vehicle policy. In the event your bike or vehicle is deemed a total loss by an insurance company, either by accident, theft or some other type of accident, GAP coverage will pay the balance of your loan after the insurance company has paid their part. If you owe more than the “fair market” or “book value,” you might be held responsible for the difference even if you are not at fault for a motorcycle or car that you no longer own. Insurance companies will usually consider a motorcycle or vehicle a total loss if the property damage to the motorcycle or vehicle exceeds 80% of the book value, not the amount that you might still owe on the motorcycle or vehicle.

POLICY EXCLUSIONS

Unless you carefully read your insurance policy, you may be unpleasantly surprised by exclusions which may not cover a particular set of circumstances. These exclusions help to limit an insurance company’s exposure to situations that the company would deem inappropriate for coverage.

Motorcycle policies generally have exclusions related to using your bike as a taxi, participating in organized racing, and committing criminal or intentionally harmful acts. However, there are other exclusions which may not seem so obvious. These exclusions include not being covered while riding in an organized charity ride, your passenger not being protected by bodily injury coverage if you are at fault, no coverage for damaged or destroyed safety gear and helmets, and even no coverage if you fail to take all reasonable steps to prevent a claimed loss or damage. As you can see, there are a variety of exclusions that can easily fly under the radar due to the lack of attention they get in policies.

This is by no means of an exhaustive list of possible exclusions, nor do all insurance policies contain these particular exclusions. The easiest and safest way to prevent any unwelcome bombshells would be to conduct a thorough read of your insurance policy (there is generally a section set aside for exclusions). If you are still unsure of how the exclusions would affect you, please contact our office and we will be happy to assist you free of charge.

HARLEY’S NEW V-ROD

Last month Harley-Davidson added a new configuration to their VRSC lineup. The aptly named V-Rod Muscle brings a younger appeal to Harley’s model range with its more modern styling and staggering performance. The bike has a low and long profile accompanied by a wide rear tire, new instrument panel, an abbreviated tail section, LED turn signals in the mirror stems, a new deep seat, and a mean looking double barrel exhaust, just to mention a few of the goodies. The power is provided by a liquid-cooled 1250cc v-twin co-developed with Porsche.

Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Harley-Davidson, Mark-Hans Richer explained that “[M]uscle stands out in a crowd of copies and generic motorcycle profiles. It stretches the very definition of what it means to be a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. When we set out to design Muscle, we wanted a bike that would be recognized as a Harley with aggressive styling and refinement.”

Muscle is offered alongside two other V-Rod models and comes in Vivid Black, Brilliant Silver, Dark Blue Denim, and Red Hot Sunglo. For more information on the new V-Rod Muscle, visit your local dealer or go online to www.harley-davidson.com.

LEGISLATIVE CORNER

Florida- A recent Florida Supreme Court decision will severely threaten a child’s ability to participate in high risk recreational activities such as motocross. The ruling eliminates a parent’s ability to sign away a minor child’s right to sue businesses. The case came to fruition when a mother sued a motocross park for the death of her child, who was allegedly allowed to ride a motorcycle that was too big and powerful.

The decision handed down by the Court is limited to commercial operations and should not affect school activities and sports. Chief Justice Peggy Quince stated for the majority that “[w]e find that public policy concerns cannot allow parents to execute pre-injury releases on behalf of minor children. It cannot be presumed that a parent who has decided to voluntarily risk a minor child’s physical well-being is acting in the child’s best interest.” This outcome will likely be devastating to the businesses that provide such sporting activities and the children who want to participate.

New York City- The NY city council is pondering a bill that would put a damper on the loud exhaust systems of motorcycles. The bill would make it illegal for any motorcycle to be on the street without an Environmental Protection Agency stamp on the exhaust. This would hinder a rider’s ability to accessorize with custom loud pipes.

The first offense would be accompanied by a fine of up to $1,000 and temporary forfeiture of the bike until the fine is paid. The second offense, however, would bring a fine of up to $2,500 and permanent forfeiture of the bike. Needless to say, this bill would impose harsh and unfair penalties solely on motorcyclists. Critics of the bill also state that if an exhaust system were to wear out or break, aftermarket replacements would be out of the question. This would require riders to buy another original equipment exhaust system at a greater cost. Hopefully Florida does not take any hints from the way New York City is handling this issue.
