Rockers Vs Mods April 1-3, 2011 Pits Western European & Cafe-Style Motorbikes Against Italian Scooters | 2012 Ford Focus.

<!–ACNTP

Rockers vs Mods is a three day bike show & music holiday will have more ‘Billy than Jimmy Carter’s family reunions. Rockabilly legend Mack Stevens will be performing together with The Dangits, Deacon Sean & The Bar Brawlers will round out the Rocker Tunes. For the Mod sensibilities, the Muck Savages, Sleazy Mancini and Johnny Tone’s Club Wood will be laying it down thick and wide. The key attraction will be Labretta Suede and the Motel 6 hailing from Auckland, New Zealand.

This dazzling trio will make the trip (from NYC) to get everybody shaking their asses in unison at Lee Harvey’s. We were the third mods / rockers sort of event and now there are rather more than 25 across the U.S. The first history on Brighton Beach contrast to a re-emergence of the British version of “Rocker” culture and cafe racer bikes in sharp relief to the mod / Northwards Soul & Scooterboy scene makes for just the right amount of rivalry and friendship. There are presently similar events in : Austin, TX, Baltimore, MD, Boise, ID, Chicago, IL, Cleveland, OH, Columbus, OH, Colorado Springs, Corp, Eugene, OR, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Houston, TX, LA, CA, New York, NY, San Francisco, CA, San Diego, CA, Seattle, WA & Internationally : Great Britain (of course), Sweden & Japan.

With the renewed interest together with last year’s coverage Cafeteria Racer Magazines TV Series, we are expecting a big turnout this year. Rahr & Sons Brewing Co. & Crispin Hard Cider are partnering as a presenting sponsors this year. Additionally, Dime Town Cycles hailing from Largo Florida (& Cafe Racer TELEVISION fame) will sponsor the gig, with Amsterdam Bar, Belmont Hotel & Smoke Restaurant, Dallas Town Mods, TwoWheelTrips Lee Harvey’s, Lakewood Insurance, Vespa Dallas, Elm Street Tattoo, Mike, Killing City Roller Derby, North Texas Norton Owners Organisation, Ton Up, Get Bent Scooter Club, ACE Scooter Club & Soldier Clothing.

This year’s Rockers vs Mods event is dedicated to the memory of Frankie Campagna and a gift to the Deep Ellum Community Association will be made in his name from a little of the returns. All this is FREE to spectators and $35 to register an EU and Cafe Style Bike or Italian Scooter.

Harley Davidson Sued

Last week, a federal judge ruled that a class action lawsuit against Harley Davidson could go forward, siding with four bikers who claim their Harley Davidson motorcycles were defectively designed because their engines ran so hot as to pose a constant danger to riders of being burned and were therefore not fit for their intended use.

The complaint alleges that since 1999, Twin Cam 88, 96, 103 and 110 cubic inch engines in Harley motorcycles produce severe, excessive heat causing clothing to catch on fire, burn injuries and the danger of burn injury to riders and passengers as well as overheating causing premature engine wear and in models manufactured after 2006, transmission failure. Although Harley Davidson asked the Eastern District of California court to throw out the claims under state law, the U.S. District Judge sided with the bikers.

Greg Owen, a partner at Los Angeles personal injury attorneys Owen, Patterson & Owen and one of the lawyers representing the plaintiffs in this case, states, “Harley Davidson has known about this problem from the early 2000s and has the technology to fix it, but has chosen to sell tens of thousands of touring bikes here in California without disclosing this known defect. When Harley customers complain to Harley’s dealers after purchase, Harley’s response is that’s normal and it refuses to offer an effective fix to the problem.”

Owen believes the unsafe heat problem is due to Harley selling larger engines that cannot comply with the emission standards of many states, including California.

‘The fix is pretty simple,’ says Owen, “and Harley already has it – manufacture touring bikes with liquid cooled engines instead of air cooled engines. If Harley did that this serious design and safety defect would go away.”

The recent ruling allows the case to move forward, and Harley Davidson will now face Class Action Certification process at the end of the month. image
