Bikers Helping Brothers and Sisters Scootergoods Homepage
One of the things I hate more
then Jane Fonda is a
Piece - Of -Schitt who hits a biker, causes serious injury or death and
just leaves the scene. Well that's precisely what a drunk asswipe did in
Clearwater on August 19th Jimmy Dunn, 58, of Anderson, S.C. took the
lives of bikers Harold Davis, 25, and his passenger, Jason Hennis, 24
and kept right on
going. Well a Scootergoods Reader that was at the intersection when it
happened chased that Dickhead down and detained him till the cops showed
up. Dunn was charged with two counts of driving under the
influence-manslaughter. (Sounds like MURDER to Us) This sort of thing
happens too often and I commend the Biker (who did not want his name
mentioned) Who followed Dunn and made sure he will pay the price for a
DRUNKEN Episode
Thanks to the Biker
who stopped that Drunk asshole.
My Cousin
Jason was , the passenger on the bike he hit.

Thank you. I will let you know whatever I can. My mother arrived in Clearwater from California yesterday. She will keep me up to date. It’s hard to be across the country and not be able to do anything. I’m grateful that there was someone who stopped that jerk and didn’t let him get away. All I’ve been saying for the past 2 days is that I wish I could thank that person. Thank you for making that happen!

I talked to him about everything and really had a good time chewing the fat together.I met a really great guy named Gregg Garvey who lost his son Justin Garvey who served with the 101st Airborne Division. Justin was killed in an ambush near Tal Afar, Iraq.. Mr Garvey does not want these soldiers that are lost to be forgotten. He is on a mission to put up monuments in all of the fallen soldiers home towns. God bless you Mr. Garvey. It was nice to see so many people who care about our troops that are in the hospitals. This event will help put some TVs,pool tables,ping pong tables, and many other things there for them to enjoy while they are there at the hospital. There were also vendors selling all kinds of things from dew rags to motorcycles. Citrus Motor Sports gave up a small motorcycle to auction off to raise some more money.The bands were sweating their asses off out there, but kept on pumping out the tunes. My friend Chapdog got so hot he started wearing a turban on his head. We called him " Osama Bin Ridin". And he had bin ridin too. We had a lot of fun out of that. Thanks to all of the people who were responsible for this event. This was a great event for a GREAT CAUSE! All of you folks did a hell of a good job. I can’t wait for the next one. Remember these vets in the hospital & if you get a chance, grab a couple of friends and go by and say hello. Just tell them thanks, that’s all they need to hear. They will not be forgotten at my house.Ride Safe & Often, Charlie W.

Lea’s Prayers & Postage: After the lose of her son 21 yr. old Marine
Corps Sgt. Lea Robert Mills, killed in Iraq last year, Dee Mills got to
work to do something positive for Our Troops in Iraq and to honor Lea’s
memory. She rolled up her sleeves and created Lea’s Prayers and Postage
Inc., a 501 c-3 nonprofit organization based in
Masaryktown, Fl. that sends boxes of hope and support to our fighting men
and women in the Middle East. The run started at at Marine Corps League
Detachment 708, in Brooksville with stops at the IR-RU in Floral City, VFW
Post 8681, Hooters,& Ended at the Bayport Inn.

A big ATA BIKER goes to the Bayport for their generous donation of $500.00 dollars. Also the IR-RU for another contribution of $200.00. The winner of the Poker Run also donated back his $450.00 bucks and several others also donated cash to the cause. It was a prime example of Biker and Biker Establishment caring and generosity. Members of Freedom Abate & the Military Vets M/C where represented to show support for Dee also. If you would like to help Dee here’s her info: Lea’s Prayers and Postage, Inc., PO Box 9000, Masaryktown, FL 34604. Dee can be reached via land line at 352-799-8573. So call & see what you can do to help this dedicated & courageous Marine Mom!
A thanks from Dee Mills
Total Riders was 112. Number of bikes 88. Total raised $2,861.60. That
translates into 319 packages for the troops at $8.95 a flat rate box.
The turn out was good for the first event but I am hoping for many more
bikes next year. I don't think the patriotism from the group we had
could possibly be matched. It means so much to know that what my son
was doing for his country didn't go unnoticed. I can't wait to write
a letter to go in the boxes and tell them what great support they have. We
still have a lot of shirts if anyone is interested in making a donation.
They are $10.00 a shirt. Phone 952-799-8573
Thanks to you all, Dee Mills Once a Marine Mom always a Marine
Mom.
Dee
Mills (left) takes donations for her Lea's Prayers and Postage
organization.
Soon after her son's death, Mills turned her attention to creating a non-profit organization designed to help soldiers. It's called Lea's Prayers and Postage.
The organization raises money to pay for postage so care packages can
be sent to troops overseas.
In only a year, more than $20,000 worth of postage has been paid for by
the organization.
"It's the right thing to do,'' said Don Varrieur, one of several
motorcycle riders who participated in Saturday's ride rally to raise
money for the organization. "We need to support the people that are
taking care of keeping us free."

AGAINST PEDOPHILES RALLY on February 11th 2007Hosted By Marine Corps

wholt@hernandotoday.com BROOKSVILLE — It was not hard to locate Mark Lunsford in a crowd of bikers. Like John Walsh and Sharon Rocha before him — parents of murder victims whose cases earned national attention — he has been on the news countless times since his 9-year-old daughter, Jessica, was killed. He also stood out because he donned a black leather vest decorated with the image of his daughter’s most famous photo, the one of her joyfully smiling toward the camera with her long brown bangs sticking out from under her pink hat. Before traveling to Miami to attend the trial of the man charged in his daughter’s death, Lunsford personally thanked the hundreds of bikers who attended Sunday’s Bikers Against Pedophiles (B.A.P.) Rally at the Marine Corps League Detachment 708 on Sunshine Grove Road. “The bikers have always been supportive,” he said before addressing the crowd. “When Jessie was missing, they came together to help search for her.” The rally took place less than 24 hours before the start of today’s jury selection in the murder trial of John E. Couey, who is accused of raping and murdering 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford in Citrus County two years ago. The parking lot was filled with rows of sparkling chrome-framed motorcycles and choppers while hundreds of denim- and leather-clad bikers drank beer, swapped stories and showed off their bikes as classic rock music blared in the background. Many of the motorcyclists knew Lunsford through their respective clubs, while others were meeting him for the first time. He grabbed a microphone midway through the rally and with a quiet and sometimes-quivering voice, thanked everyone who attended. The crowd erupted into applause when Lunsford announced 26 states had passed “Jessie’s Law,” which is a law that sets tighter restrictions against sexual offenders and predators and gives them harsher prison sentences if convicted. “Please talk amongst yourselves and talk about what you can do,” Lunsford said. “It’s all about awareness and education.” A silent auction was conducted, as well as a 50/50 ticket raffle. T-shirts were available for $15 each. All of the proceeds went to the Jessica Marie Lunsford Foundation. The idea for Sunday’s endeavor came about late last year, when local bikers held a phone card rally for troops serving in Iraq and Afghani-stan. The event, like the one Sunday, was co-sponsored by the Marine Corps Detachment and Scootergoods Magazine. The organizers passed around concepts for future fundraisers and they came away with the idea for the B.A.P. Rally. “The (group) of us started talking and here we are,” said Senior Vice Commandant Ken Craddock, who stood with Lunsford and placed his hand on his shoulder while the latter addressed the crowd. “I had a feeling the (turnout) would be like this.” Diane “Turtle” Norris sashayed through the crowd collecting money for the 50/50 raffle. She kept a smile on her face the entire time. Her jar was stuffed in a matter of minutes. “We couldn’t have asked for a better day,” she said after a disc jockey pointed to her and asked the crowd to donate. Norris held the jar in one hand and a roll of raffle tickets in the other, raised them both over her head and spun around in the attempts to attract more attention. Organizers said the B.A.P. Rally will be an annual event. Lunsford said it was not the sum of money collected during Sunday’s fundraiser that will make the biggest impact. “What’s important is awareness,” he said. “When everyone leaves here today, they are going to start looking into things and start doing things to help.” Lunsford said motorcycles contributed to the strong relationship he had with his daughter. That is why it made sense for him to turn to his fellow riders for assistance in honoring her memory. “Jessie was always my riding partner,” he said.

Hernando County, Florida – Like any motorcycle rally there’s plenty of rumbling pipes, shiny chrome and guys who dress like they’re bad to the bone. But underneath these rough exteriors are some big hearts. Don Walker, Biker:“The most dedicated and honest people you can be around is us biker people.”You see, this Hernando County biker rally is for a special cause. It’s in the memory of Jessica Lunsford; the 9-year-old Homosassa girl who was murdered nearly two years ago. And money raised from the event will help Jessica’s father, Mark Lunsford, fight for tougher laws for sexual offenders. Squigg” Squillante, Biker:“‘Cuz you know we got to stop these sickos in our society, it’s just crazy.”Tomorrow in Miami, jury selection starts in the trial of John Couey, the man accused of killing Jessica. And Mark Lunsford says this rally will help fortify him for the tough, emotional days to come.Mark Lunsford, Jessica’s father:“It’s important to me and I’m glad to see so many people get together and talk about kids and what’s going on with them. Because the more we talk about it, the more we can get done.”Money raised from the event will go to the Jessica Lunsford Foundation and the rumbling good vibrations found here will no doubt echo with Mark Lunsford down the road.
Thanks to all the Scooterheads that came out to support Wild Willy Harris Jan 7th 2007 ! Willy was hit by another careless Cager! Hope to see you back on the Scoot Soon Willy!
Helpin’ "Wild Willie Harris"
On Sunday 01/07/2007 Jim Collins Memorial Fund held a
fund raiser (poker run) for Will " Wild Willie" Harris who was
hurt in a motorcycle accident. At least 168 bikers & friends met at
the Crystal River American Legion on hwy 44 for breakfast and sign up for
the run. The first stop was the Mouse Trap in Inglis Fl. They were all set
up with plenty of help and cold beverages. We headed out to the Silver
Moon next for stop # 2. Everything was going fine except for one flat
tire. Some folks pitched in , found a compressor, aired him up and sent
him on his way. (thanks for the help) We hung around the Silver Moon long
enough so that the bar would be open at our next stop, the VFW in Beverly
Hills. 
You
can’t sell alcohol on Sunday in Citrus Cty. until 1:00pm. Willie was a
bartender at the VFW in Beverly Hills. Stop # 4 took us back out to hwy 41
to the Thunder Inn. It was getting real warm by this time. The Thunder Inn
staff was great. At one time, the parking lot turned into a burnout pit,
and a hole shot strip. Everyone was safe and had a lot of fun. We loaded
up and headed for stop # 5, the VFW in Inverness on hwy 44. There was
plenty of food to eat ,and lots of room in the AC to enjoy it. Well, it
was time to go see Wild Willie at the Waters Edge Sports Pub on hwy 470 in
Lake Panasofkie .(did I spell that right?) Willie was there in a wheel chair. He
also had a recliner to kick back in. Willie was very thankful to everyone
for there help.
It make me feel good to help someone who also helps
others. . A lot of Rolling Thunder Brothers & Sisters were there. A
total of $2519 was raised for Willie. I also saw quite a few people
stuffing green stuff in Willie’s pockets. That's great man. With a good
feeling in my heart, we headed towards the house in search of my own
recliner. A job well done goes out to everyone who had a part in this run.
Ride Safe & Often, Charlie W.

A letter of Thanks To Our Readers from Iraq
Dear Staff and Admired Readers,
Thank you very much for the
support that you have shown us through your Bike Run. We deeply appreciate
the time that everybody took away from their personal engagements to help
us feel a little bit closer to home. It is through the actions of your
contributors and readers that we are able to feel the impartial and
unadulterated loyalty that you have for the Armed Forces. Whether it be
Army, Marines, Air Force or Navy; we are all in it for the same reason. To
bring closure to this troubled area of the world called the Middle East.
The ‘Sand Box’, as we commonly refer to Iraq, is a dangerous and
volatile place but one that is full of hope for the future. We are all
trying to do our part with honor and dignity, as are the Iraqi people.
That same honor must be given to those citizens of America that, like
yourselves, bringing comfort to those of us that are on the front lines .
May God Bless each and every one of you and keep you safe on two wheels.
With the highest regards,
To
Scootergoods
