BIKERPICS.ORG, New E-Magazine

Congrats Jack Mcintyre and top model, Michelle Laksh!
The New Star Studios in Philadelphia & New BIKERPICS.ORG!




The Worlds Greatest Biker E Magazine

I have long been a fan of Jack Mcintyre's Photography! So it is with double pleasure that I can announce, "Motorcycle Event News" - BikeweekNews.Blogspot.com - is the ONLY event news feed on the new BIKERPICS.ORG  E-Magazine.

These are the incredibly talented professionals that I turn to whenever I need something special put together for a client to promote a brand, event or new product in the motorcycle industry... and Jack can usually create an event flyer or calender in 15 minutes or less! Seriously...
When it came to finding a studio assistant, who could model daily at the new Star Studios in Philly, Michelle Laksh was Jack's first choice. "She is the best model I have ever worked with in terms of pure beauty and knowing how to get the shot right the first time," he said.

Michelle has been working with Jack Mcintyre for several years -- and she has been to more rallies than most bikers! Her images are extensive and show her versatility as a model, working at events all over Philly and at bike rallies from Daytona Beach to Sturgis. In fact, her image went out on 500,000 WMMR Radio Station, Philadelphia Calendars in 2008. And her image has graced many custom bikes and other products across the country...

Paul Yaffe showed up on Sunday to party with Mark (owner of Hideaway) and Kimmy Cruz. There was a big 13-mile parade of motorcycles, horseback riders and antique cars up highway 101 on Sunday... and a woman won $1,000 in the Hideaway Tattoo Contest for her full back tat!

Get Your Bling Here! "I am just loving it here at The Hideaway Grill," Kimmy Cruz reported by phone today... "Everybody is just so sweet, and so layed back. And I found a totally awesome collection of crystal bling plus men's Hellenbach and Crybaby Asshole MC clothing at the Hideaway retail store."

"People are just loving this warm weather, and of course there is no humidity. So they ride out to The Hideaway and spend the whole day in the sunshine, and then ride back when the temperatures start to drop into the 70s at night."

David Allan Coe - Panheads Forever

This post is for my brother, Melvin Purscell in Des Moines, Iowa who is the best damn bike mechanic you will ever meet. He took an old Indian out of a farmer's ditch and restored it to "best of show" .. and he loves panheads. He named one of his wolves "Panhead."

This one's for you, Mel - David Allan Coe singing "Panheads Forever" with awesome David Mann images and other great bikes - not all pans, some are shovels also dressers and sportsters, but they are all great images. I hope you enjoy!



Happy Easter Everyone!!! Blossoms To Ya! (Garcia/Grateful Dead.) It's 80 degrees in Florida and you can smell the Orange Blossoms as you travel the country roads on a bike. I was out riding my bicycle yesterday 10 miles on the West Orange Trail to Oakland Nature Preserve... saw lots of motorcycles along the roadways - saw the biggest peacock I have ever seen. Saw two goats with long crooked horns, road along the still waters of a country pond listening to all the great tunes on the Unplugged Collection Vol.1 - Paul Simon/"Graceland," Stevie Ray Vaughan/"Pride And Joy," Lenny Kravitz/"Are You Gonna Go My Way," Elvis Costella/"Deep Dark Truthful Mirror," Don Heanky/"Come Rain Or Come Shine," and Rod Stewart/"Gasoline Alley"... being out there in nature is time with God to listen to and to see this beautiful gift we call EARTH. Have a Good One!

Jesse James Goes To Rehab

Growing up in the 60's in America, the name "whore dog" was used to describe men like Tiger Woods and Jesse James, who in earlier times were referred to as "skirt chasers."

Get over it Jesse, you're just a man who got caught.

Jesse James checked into a treatment facility after nude photos of a tattoo model girlfriend surfaced. Jesse checked in to “deal with his personal issues,” his rep told People Magazine.  “He realized that this time was crucial to help himself, help his family, and help save his marriage."

It was later confirmed by TMZ that Jesse checked in March 26 at Sierra Tucson, a facility that specializes in drug, alcohol, and sex addiction.

Adding to James’ woes this week, a much talked about photo of him making a Nazi salute while wearing an SS officer’s hat is now making the rounds in the media.

Actress Sandra Bullock, who has been married to James for almost five years, has reportedly moved out of their home since the revelation that he has engaged in at least four extramarital affairs.


 
As of this date, (April Fools Day) Jesse James has appologized for bringing “pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension” to his wife and children, but so far  stands by the claim that the “vast majority of the allegations reported are untrue and unfounded.”

Of course, Jesse James - Hollywood media is not letting go of the story.
