Anti-Texting-And-Driving Bill To Move To Texas Senate Floor
By: Karl Rundgren
Updated: March 5, 2013
The Alex Brown Memorial Act has passed the Texas House Committee on Transportation.
The bill is named after Wellman teen Alex Brown, who lost her life in a texting while driving crash.
The bill was filed by Midland Representative Tom Craddick in February, after several relatives of texting and driving victims appeared in Austin to support it.
Now, the bill will go to the House Calendars Committee to be considered for floor debate.
A similar anti-texting and driving bill passed in 2011, but the bill was ultimately vetoed by Texas Governor Rick Perry.

Change is inevitable for any living organism. As a community, we are a living, growing, changing entity, and this needs to be recognized and understood by the group that mobilizes every time to protest any and all changes proposed in the community.
Being mayor and council is a trying experience. It�s an education in human interaction, and as the delegate in any of these positions, you�re damned if you do, and damned if you don�t. So where does a resident draw the line?
Instead of everyone getting up in arms over concerns about the company hired to complete this project, why not consider the potential that Veolia has worked out the bugs and will complete our state of the art project to world class standards.� Why not thank the hard-working mayor and council for making good on the promises from their election campaign? It�s far easier to criticize, slander and point fingers.
Please consider the gravity of the responsibilities that our elected officials have agreed to undertake before condemning their decisions based on a few fear mongers.

Slow and steady: A sustainable formula
Most U.S. companies do provide some form of paid leave to their employees. Unfortunately, more than a third of American workers do not take all the time they are allowed. Some fear that taking too much sick time or an extended vacation may leave them vulnerable to a layoff.
Policy is not the only driver of American work habits. Some employees work longer and harder because teams are leaner. Many employees are doing the work of three people. Still, there can be no skimping on quality. Expectations for output and results remain high.
If we dare to look weary or complain, we are quickly reminded how lucky we are to have jobs. The overarching message in the workplace is that you can easily be replaced with someone who will be grateful for your position.
Technology is another factor that impacts the way we work. Laptops, notepad

FSC professors awarded a place in "Who's Who Among America's Teachers"

This is his third appearance in "Who's Who." Lebrenz, who teaches economics, has been with FSC since 1987. Plowman was nominated by Billie Martino, a senior sociology major.

RKO Fordham Theatre
215 E. Fordham Road,
10 people favorited this theater
The Fordham Theatre was always considered one of the top Bronx theatres due to its location in the shopping hub around the Grand Concourse and Fordham Road. With William McElfatrick as architect, it was primarily designed for vaudeville and built by Keith-Albee. As Keith's Fordham Theatre, it first opened on April 14, 1921, with six acts of "Best Keith Vaudeville" plus the feature movie, "Black Roses".
In 1929, the Keith theatres were merged into the RKO circuit. In that year, the Fordham Theatre also got a major rival in the larger and more sumptuous Loew's Paradise Theatre on the Grand Concourse. For several decades, the two theatres were the area leaders, although the Paradise Theatre had the advantage of showing movies that were exclusive for the Bronx. The RKO Fordham Theatre showed the same programs as six other Bronx RKO theatres, as well as some Skouras houses in areas without RKO outlets.
The Fordham Theatre survived into the era of mass distribution and was triplexed in 1976. A fourth screen was added in 1980, but a decline in the neighborhood's business district finally forced the Fordham Theatre to close. It was demolished in March, 1987, and replaced by retail buildings.
Recent comments (view all 64 comments)
The very first post about this theater mentions it's placement in "The Wanderers" opening credits. Now available on YouTube, which probably wasn't around in 2004.
An interesting observation I made is, the films advertised on the RKO Fordham marquee in "The Wanderers" are "Battle Cry" & "War Is Hell". This was obviously supposed to be an establishing shot that it was set in 1963. JFK's assassination plays a part later in the film.
In reality though, the two films playing at the Texas Theater when Oswald was caught were "Cry Of Battle" & War Is Hell". Oddly "Battle Cry"-1955 & "Cry Of Battle"-1963 both starred Van Heflin. Was "The Wanderes" director just going from memory, or did "Battle Cry" ring with more resonance given the films gang theme? Guess we'll hve to rent the director's cut.
This photograph of The RKO Fordham Theatre was taken in 1931 by George Mann of the comedy dance team, Barto and Mann.
Hey Joe, I remember that well. What great times I had working at the RKO Fordham from 1961 to 1969 as an usher, Assistant Chief Usher, then Chief Usher and then was transferred to the newly renovated RKO Stanley Warner Cinerama, Penthouse and Orleans on 47th & Broadway as the Manager of the Cinerama.
But the RKO Fordham will never be forgotten. My first Chief Usher was Martin Schwabb, then Carl, then Roy and then I became the Chief Usher. I remember the uniform with the braids and I had the ushers wear white gloves and I used to check there shoes in the ushers dressing room under the stage to make sure their shoes were polished before they took the floor. Then I became the Assistant Manager under Jack Reis who was the Manager then became the District/Division Manager and I became the manager. I had great ushers Terry, Andre, Sydney, Mike, Danny and many others, the cashiers I remember was Martha, Olivia, Sylvia and Estelle, the porter Monte, the matrons Mrs Ackerman, Mrs Sharky and a mrs hudak, concession Hanna, my doorman was fabulous we called him 'pop' he was in his eighties and was so on top of everything. He drove to work everyday in his white car and would keep the rough necks out from sneaking by him to get into the theatre, the projection people Al, Cy and I remember they had a lounge chair on the roof and during the summer I would at times go up there to get a tan, Eddie was the electrician who changed the marquee on Tuesday evenings, Mr Gallagher and another gentleman who ran the air conditioning/heating systems they were the engineers, the two guys selling newspapers under the marquee at night and Sunday mornings, the ladies shop next door. What fun… I could go on and on and on…. I made so many friends back then. I remember as an usher carrying those heavy cans of film up to the projection booth for the projectionists. I remember the loads of and one large handle that controlled the lights backstage for intermission and we had to close the curtain manually. We had a little office in the lobby that was hidden with mirrors where we controlled the marquee lights and the concession stock room was inside there also. The managers office was on the mezzanine floor near the alcove where the telephone booths were.
I also helped out at the Colisseum a couple of times when they needed it, because Mr Reis was the DM of all the Bronx RKO's.
Those were the days my friend… I could go on and on….
I added a photo of the RKO Fordham for those of you who remember it.
Here's the YouTube link of "The Wanderers" opening credits featuring the RKO Fordham. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzHA1WSgm0U
@ PatC – I believe that your manager Jack Reis may have been my grandfathers long lost half brother. Can you tell me more about him? Approximate age when you worked for him, family members, whether born in USA or an immigrant? Basically any information that you may have. Thank You so much.
Dear sjteich, Jack was in his 60's. A tall lanky man who wore glasses and kind of reddish / brown hair. His wife's name was Marion and adopted a son named Michael. They lived off the Concourse near Valentine Avenue. Jack was the Manager / District Manager of the RKO Fordham and and District Manager of all the RKO's in the Bronx. He was a very nice person, always with a joke.
I was the Assistant Manager of the RKO Fordham under Jack Reis from 1961-1963 or 64(?). Great memories! Ed Gehlert
Pat C – Thank You so much for the information. I am 99% certain that he was related to my grandfather who was also tall and thin. I may never know for certain unfortunately. If you do have any photos that would be terrific. Ed G – would love to hear your memories of Mr. Reis as well.

plus shipping and handling
This project came into being as a result of my search for solitude. I promised myself that I would go out once a week to one of the many beautiful and quiet spaces and just stand and listen. I would then record just one image of that experience. I am fortunate to live in an area where fog and water dominate, yet because of the flow of life it is less likely to lead to mere melancholy. Fog is a great simplifier. Complexity — a close relative of noise — is surely tamed in a fog-shrouded world.
— Mark Singles, from the artist's statement in the folio

Preface to the second edition
Download PDF (329.9 KB)
pp. vii-xxviii
African Philosophy: Myth and Reality originally appeared in French twenty years ago; the earliest essay in the collection-the first chapter of this book-dates from 1969. The intellectual environment has changed greatly in the ensuing years, during which African Philosophy has provoked lively debate. Within the limits of this preface it would be impossible to respond to...

Philosophy can be regarded as the most self-conscious of disciplines. It is the one discipline that involves by its very nature a constant process of reflection upon itself. This process of self reflection, inherent in the nature and practice of philosophy, bears not only upon its purposes, objectives and methods, upon its relation to the world ...

1 An alienated literature

By 'African philosophy' I mean a set of texts, specifically the set of texts written by Africans and described as philosophical by their authors themselves. ...
2 History of a myth
Download PDF (119.9 KB)
pp. 47-54
African philosophical literature rests, it hardly needs saying, on a confusion: the confusion between the popular (ideological) use and the strict (theoretical) use of the word 'philosophy'. According to the first meaning, philosophy is any kind of wisdom, individual or collective, any set of principles presenting some degree of coherence and intended to govern the daily practice of a man or a people. ...
3 African philosophy, myth and reality

pp. 55-70
I must emphasize that my theme is African philosophy, myth and reality, whereas one might have expected the conventional formula, myth or reality? I am not asking whether it exists, whether it is a myth or a reality. I observe that it does exist, by the same right and in the same mode as all the philosophies of the world: in the form of a literature. ...
4 Philosophy and its revolutions
Download PDF (587.7 KB)
pp. 71-108
I should like to demonstrate three things: First, that philosophy is not a system but a history, essentially an open process, a restless,unfinished quest, not closed knowledge; second, that this history does not move forward by continuous evolution but by leaps and bounds, by successive revolutions, and consequently follows not a linear path but ...

Axim is an old African town situated on the 'Gulf of Guinea', in present-day south-west Ghana, not far from the Ivorian frontier. It was there, in the first years of the eighteenth century, that the black philosopher was born who signed himself in Latin Amo-Guinea-Afer or Amo Guinea-Africanus (Amo the Guinean), as though he was afraid that his long European adventure might make him ...

A year ago, on 27 April 1972, in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, one of the greatest Africans of this century died.

pp. 141-155
In Chapter 6 I tried to present Nkrumah's literary works as a whole.1 I argued that they should not be read as a closed system but that serious account should be taken of the author's development. I proposed discarding the usual reading, which one might call static or systematic, in favour of what might be called a historical reading. ...
8 True and false pluralism

pp. 156-169
'Cultural pluralism' generally means three things: (1) the fact of cultural plurality, understood as the coexistence of cultures belonging, at least in principle, to different geographical areas; (2) the recognition of this fact; (3) the advocacy of this plurality and the will to make use of it in one way or another, either by preserving these cultures from mutual contamination or by organizing a peaceful dialogue among them for their mutual enrichment. ...

If Amy Millan's solo work makes you wonder where all of Stars' dreamy pop went, you'll find the answer in Memphis' new Here Comes A City. Memphis is the name that Chris Dumont and Stars singer Torquil Campbell have recorded under since 2002, and their third full-length carries a torch for the hushed, up-tempo pop that threatened to go out of style when the Australian indie-rock greats broke up in 2006. City strikes the right balance of lyrical weight and drifting, otherworldly atmospherics, particularly on the rolling, expansive "Apocalypse Pop Song" and the catchy, finger-snapping "Wait!" It's clear Memphis isn't interested in just making relaxed, lush acoustic pop songs, but when it does, it's a beautiful thing.

Class bubble quiz
Charles Murray (of The Bell Curve fame) has a new book out called Coming Apart. In it, he makes an argument that class lines in recent decades have solidified such that the upper class and working class don't understand each other's lives anymore.
He has a quiz which he says will give the responder an idea of his own ignorance of working class life and also an idea of how widespread that ignorance reaches within his circle of friends. Here is the 25 question quiz. Some of the questions seem really fuzzy to me as my idea of a close friend is probably different from other people's idea of a close friend, and some of them seem like regional questions. But in general, a quiz taker will probably understand the thrust of his questions.
Living in the south and considering the places I've been and things I've done for work , I would have thought my score would be rather higher. I scored a 25 which would put me as slightly more isolated than the typical first-generation upper-middle-class person with middle-class parents. But as this test and book was probably more geared toward describing whites, I think some of the bubble effect is related to my racial/ethnic background. Regardless of the reasons, it's true that I haven't often encountered individuals from other stations in life. Until recently, I didn't hang out with anyone without at least a college degree, much less be able to call one of them a close friend. That has changed within the past several years, but only in a technical sense as the friend I'm thinking of was prevented from attending college for documentation reasons and not because she was unwilling or unable to finish the coursework.
How thick is your bubble and how well do you think you understand the lives of working class people?

After a week of postponements, the limited run concert engagement of Barry Manilow at the St. James Theatre in New York City will have its official opening tonight, January 29. The show, "Manilow on Broadway" was forced to cancel performances from January 22 - 28 which included the official Opening Night, January 24 as Mr. Manilow suffered from a severe bout of bronchitis. All performances that were cancelled have been rescheduled and as of now, the show is scheduled to extend to March 2, 2013.
In a statement made by his producers when the show was announced on Oct. 22, 2012, they said: "Manilow is returning to the place where it all began, his hometown, New York City, with a new concert series on Broadway — marking his return to The Great White Way for the first time in more than two decades." Tickets for the show have been in demand with a range of prices from $50 to $350. There are even a limited number of rush tickets that will be reserved for every performance. Those rush tickets may be purchased the same day as the show for a fee of $20 at the St. James Theatre Box Office at 246 W. 44th Street beginning at 10:00 a.m.
Manilow has been ranked as the top Adult Contemporary chart artist of all time according to R&R (Radio and Records). He had 25 consecutive Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1975 and 1983. Manilow is a Grammy Award winner and has sold 80 million records. He also wrote the music for the shows "Harmony" and "Copacabana".
His live shows are legendary and his fan base is huge and known for their enthusiasm towards him. This run on Broadway promises to be another opportunity for those fans to enjoy many of the classic hit songs Manilow has produced over the years. To find out more about getting tickets to this show, go to the website www.ManilowOnBroadway.com.

Posted | Discussion |
Dec. 31, 2009 southpaw Men's 60 651 posts | If the Mayans are right! Hey people, I think I have been watching far too many SyFy specials. Anyway, since a new year is upon us and resolutions are called for. Would it make a difference in our decisions if we really had only 3 more seasons of softball?! Happy New Year and I pray that 2010 will be a great year for all. |
Dec. 31, 2009 stever Men's 65 56 posts | Saw a funny (at least I thought it was funny) cartoon about that recently. One Mayan was standing at the door holding a calendar and talking to another. He said, "I ran out of room on the calendar after 2012." The other one said, "That is really going to screw people up in the future." Of course, 1984 was supposed to be the end...then 2000. Not something I really worry about. Couldn't do anything about it, anyway. |
Dec. 31, 2009 ShaneV Men's 55 354 posts | In the news: Russians are considering targeting a near-earth object. Actually the object is supposed to pass close with only a small chance of striking earth in the next two passes. Let's hope the Russians don't screw up! I'm Polish and it's a good thing we don't have a space program! I sure have enjoyed my first 5 years of senior softball! Looking forward to the next 5, and the 5 after that, and... ShaneV |
Jan. 1, 2010 taits Men's 65 4038 posts | The russians are involving about 5 countries in that asteroid deflection thing. The closest it is to come to earth is about 180k miles out and the other two passes are even further away. With the way things go chances are they would cause it to come closer, rather than away. Maybe they could send up Obama & all of congress and drink some beer and throw the cans at it. Heck, crash into it, leave the heap of trash all over space. |
Jan. 1, 2010 southpaw Men's 60 651 posts | Stever, I think you are correct; the cartoon is funny. I really wasn't trying to be an alarmist or a conspiracy-monger, just trying in a not so subtle way to challenge all to think seriously about New Year's resolutions. Shane, hope we all have many more seasons of senior softball. Happy New Year to all. |

The Oakland Press (theoaklandpress.com), Serving Oakland County
News > Local News
Friday, January 18, 2013 3:13 PM EST
By DIANA DILLABER MURRAY
email@example.com; Twitter: http://bit.ly/rXo3qB">@DDillybar
Of The Oakland Press
New words come into use at an increasing pace every year, with words such as tweet, texted, ringtone, LOL, spyware, email and firewall in common use.
But not everyone is satisfied to see the new words of the high tech world take over.
The so-called Word Warriors at Wayne State University are taking a different approach. WSU in Detroit, where about 7,000 students are from Oakland County, have released a list of the year's top 10 words that deserve to be used more often in conversation and prose.
They want to see words that are worthy brought back from the old days.
For example, the word buncombe, which means rubbish; nonsense; empty or misleading talk, is the first on the list of words provided by WSU's Irving D. Reid's Honors College Dean Jerry Herron.
The example provided for its use is: "What a relief to have the election over — that great festival of buncombe that so distracted the nation for months."
Herron is also a member of the editorial board of the Word Warrior's website, where faculty, students and the public can submit the words they would like to see revived.
"By making use of the repertoire available to us, we expand our ability to communicate clearly and help make our world a more interesting place," Herron said in a news release.
"Bringing these words back into everyday conversation is just another way of broadening our horizons."
In an interview after the words list was released this week, Herron said the idea to compile the words came from a conversation over dinner five years ago between Herron and three of his friends, including Michael Wright, Jack Lessenberry and Beaufort Cranford.
We were "four guys who like words and were much taken by the fact that our English language has most words (of any other language) and we were talking about how unfortunate it is that there are so many words that have fallen out of use," when there are so many good uses for them, Herron said.
In what he jokingly called the "absolutely scientific judging" to create the list, Herron said one of the criteria is that some words "are just fun to say," such as chelonian, which means slow as a turtle.
Some words come from other countries and then take on a whole new way of being use, he said.
"English is great at just absorbing these things. No wonder it is one of the richest languages."
Among Herron's favorites are troglodyte and fantods, which sound like they could be names of characters in a science fiction movie.
The list of words with their meanings and use in a sentence are as follows:
• Buncombe: Rubbish; nonsense; empty or misleading talk.
"What a relief to have the election over — that great festival of buncombe that so distracted the nation for months."
• Cerulean: The blue of the sky.
"Her eyes were a clear, deep cerulean blue, like no eyes Trevor had ever seen."
• Chelonian: Like a turtle (and who doesn't like turtles?).
"Weighed down by bickering and blather, the farm bill crept through Congress at a chelonian pace."
• Dragoon: To compel by coercion; to force someone to do something they'd rather not.
"After working in the yard all day, Michael was dragooned into going to the ballet instead of flopping down to watch the Red Wings on TV."
• Fantods: Extreme anxiety, distress, nervousness or irritability.
"Jeremy's love of islands was tempered by the fact that driving over high bridges always gave him the raging fantods."
• Mawkish: Excessively sentimental; sappy; hopelessly trite.
"To her surprise, Beth found Robert's words of love to be so mawkish that they made her feel sticky, as though she were being painted with molasses."
• Natter: To talk aimlessly, often at great length; rarely, it means simply to converse.
"You can tell our staff meetings are winding down when everybody starts nattering about their kids."
• Persiflage: Banter; frivolous talk.
"Emma hoped to get Lady Astor into a serious conversation, but as long as the King was around she could elicit only persiflage and gossip."
• Troglodyte: Literally, a cave-dweller. More frequently a backward, mentally sluggish person.
"Susan felt she could have saved the company if only the troglodytes in management had taken her advice.
• Winkle: To pry out or extract something; from the process of removing the snail from an edible periwinkle.
"Jack showed no inclination to leave his seat beside Alice, but Roger was determined to winkle him out of that chair no matter what it took."

In the "middle of the night" on November 28th, 2011 Kimberly Reid was lured from her home, brutally assaulted, thrown into the back seat of a car and kidnapped by a suspect known to her and a second suspect she did not know. The assault continued while the car moved until the driver's erratic driving caught the attention of Phoenix Police officers on patrol. The car was stopped by police and both suspects were taken into custody. Kimberly sustained very serious injuries, primarily to her hands, and she was transported to a local hospital. Kimberly has since undergone three surgeries to repair her hands/fingers, the suspect have been successfully prosecuted.
The case was assigned to Phoenix Police Detective Al Richards. Kimberly said, amongst other things in a letter she sent to KPHO CBS5 ("Pay It Forward"), "if it wasn't for him (Detective Richards) I would of never made it thru my horrifying situation. He picked me up for every court date and was there for me always. He went above and beyond and I want to say thank u".
On Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. reporter Pat McReynolds from KPHO and Kimberly Reid presented $500.00 to Detective Richards as a "Pay It Forward" award in recognition of his dedication to duty and for going the "extra mile" as he worked with Kimberly, reassured her and walked her through the ordeal of prosecution. Kimberly said through tears during the interview "there is just no way I could have faced those men again alone. I'm still afraid to go out alone sometimes but at least I know I'm getting better thanks to his (Det. Richards) encouragement".
These "above and beyond" actions are certainly the things Phoenix Police officers find themselves involved with every day, and without much fore-thought. Kudos to Detective Richards for his dedication and positive representation of himself and our department.
Detective Richards promptly gave the funds to PLEA President Joe Clure to be used for PLEA Charities.

The ath Power Ideal Banking Study™
There is more consumer measurement and greater varieties of data capture mediums today than ever before. So, one would think our present banking institutions would effectively translate the data into a better experience for their customers. Unfortunately, this happens in too few cases, as only a small percentage of financial services organizations provide consistently high levels of customer experience.
While it is difficult to alter brand image in the current banking markets, every element of customer experience offered through front-line employees has a tremendously powerful effect on a consumer's view of an institution. The ath Power Ideal Banking Study™ was formulated to determine what elements make up the "ideal consumer banking experience," and to uncover the impediments of producing such an experience. This report provides accurate competitive intelligence on the current consumer banking market and reveals the most important elements in banking relationships today. It also offers actionable insight on how financial institutions can take advantage of their current market differentiation, as well as identify additional areas of focus to consider.
In this year's edition, 3,113 retail banking customers from across the nation responded to ath Power's online survey, and through this evaluation, consumers assessed their current primary bank on an array of dimensions, including customer service, product offerings, loyalty programs, cross-sell attempts and problem resolution dynamics.
They also provided information regarding their banking behaviors such as frequency of branch visits and online banking usage.
General Survey Content
In the online evaluation, retail banking customers were asked specific questions that ultimately determined the following
Customer priorities for evaluating a primary bank
Identification and ratings of primary bank
Customer banking behaviors
Customer satisfaction with primary bank
Problem resolution efforts with primary bank
Primary reasons for loyalty and attrition
Customer outlook on the banking industry
Institutions Surveyed
A total of 419 banks and 378 credit unions received completed evaluations for the 2012 edition of the ath Power Ideal Banking Study™. The four largest U.S. banks (Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Citi) had the most customer participation. Every U.S. bank in the top 50 in assets had survey responses for this study. Specific charts in this study are classified into 5 categories when describing a question or dynamic. They are listed as Top-4 U.S. Banks, Other Top-20, Regional Banks, Community Banks and Credit Unions.
In this report, you will:
Find out which factors are the most important to consumers when choosing a banking relationship;
Discover the most sought after sales and service processes, product and service offerings, delivery mediums and customer experiences as revealed by today's banking customers;
Discover what defining elements of a high-level customer experience are still missing at most banking institutions, and take away actionable insight and best practices to help resolve this problem;
Learn how some individual banks are performing within the competitive landscape of retail banking compared to previous years; and
Gain the strategic insight needed to attract more customers, retain existing customers, and develop long-term, profitable retail banking relationships.

Damming the Information Streams
It's incredible how fast the library gets busy again once the semester starts. This week started out quiet as I caught up on email after returning from vacation, but by the end I was spending my days attending several meetings and in the thick of scheduling classes. I generally prefer to be busier than not, [...]

Queerty is better as a member
Spent a day on Fire Island with Pat last summer. She is a awesome person IRL. She was pleasant and normal person when you treat her as such. She and I shared some kick ass hot dogs that day while lounging by the pool. A great gal all around.

text: 2007 H-D Road Glide There are bikes in this and other magazines in which all we're doing is re-telling the story that's already laid out on the spec sheet. If you have an eye for detail, there are times that you can read the first paragraph, scan the bike and the specs for the particulars, and you've got the story. Or, in the case of baggers, there are times that the paintjob is the story. Sure there might be some chrome doo-dads brightening up things, but there may be a paintjob, some bolt-on parts, and the builder call it a day. Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you. Sometimes simpler is better. But this bike goes one step further. Somehow pulling off a killer, hard-edged look, with a mostly empty spec sheet and stock paint, Adrian Drakes' Road Glide is a study in carefully selected parts and finishes to create a custom, well finished bike that will turn heads wherever it goes. The biggest difference is that all the chrome that the bike came with has been replaced with "Night Train Wrinkle" powdercoat. But unlike the bike of the color's namesake, not all bright bits have been eliminated; polished or dull aluminum sets off the dark, textured paint at key points throughout. Chop Shop Cycles, who did the work, also painted the inner faring to tie it into the bike better. The list of aftermarket goodies is a short one, all selected to further the dark hard-edge look of the bike, from the gloss black Covington's Fork Bells and RSD wheels, to the dull Todd's Cycle Strip Bar apes and custom embroidered seat. More contrasting machined/black finishes are to be found in the holes on the Battistini controls, while the lined theme that comes on the bike in the form of cooling fins continues onto the Arlen Ness saddlebag latches, blacked out, of course. CSC's details abound on this bike as well, with a re-shaped windshield pulling a rounder profile, a lowered front fender to hug the 18-inch wheel more closely. Though the engine remains stock, Chop Shop added Rinehart duals and a Screamin' Eagle Intake, but also heat-wrapped the headers underneath the blacked-out heat shields...that's detail. It wasn't one of those sky's-the-limit jobs done in 10 days to make it to Bike Week builds either. Adrian's bike was done like so many of ours, over a couple of winters, a few pieces at a time, as money allowed. And just like every bike I own at least, it's still not done. While the speakers have been upgraded to higher-output JL Audio units, this winter will see the bike get a full-on high-end audio system. According to Chop Shop's Zach Densmore, "The future of this bike is never-ending...Adrian is always up for the next 'hot look.'" 1 | 2 | » | View Full Article By Billy Bartels Enjoyed this Post?
