June 2013 Motorcyclin~II TV Production Event Attended

Sunday June 9th: Trev-Deeley Harley Davidson – Museum
Event: Annual Shore n Shine
Time: 11-4 p.m

Another Sunny weekend on the ‘wet coast‘, with clouds looming in certain areas of lower-mainland Vancouver BC. If anyone knows this part of the Globe knows that you don’t trust weather. It may call for rain one minute in your area but, next thing you know wind changes and it’s a nice Sunny day.
M~2TVextreme venture out to the Trev-Deeley HD Shore n Swine or was that Shine? Event at their Boundary Rd Lougheed Hwy location.
Upon arrival, [we] heard live rock music blaring from the parking lot, view a sea of HD’s and the rare Other manufacturers, we won’t mention lined up. Bikers and enthusiasts engaging in the usual chat up about their rides, some checking out the vendors and just hanging out listening to music on a warm sunny afternoon.
We stopped by a couple scoping out a sleek black HD V-Rod muscle. Speaking to the female half of this young couple, we found that she just completed her 1st year as a newbie rider, never a passenger, but, thought instead of agonizing about her husbands’ safety while out on the road, she’d try out the biker lifestyle; took lessons got herself a bike, head out on the road now riding with her husband.
That’s what we [M~2TVextreme] like to hear, not the usual… ‘my girlfriend or wife made me sell my bike‘. So, cudos to you sistah‘ for joining the fun and not sullying the joy and freedom one feels when out on the open road. She enjoys it so much she was the one interested in the V-Rod, felt she could handle a little more muscle on the road.

Our [M~2TVextremes] main agenda was to interview the creator – producer of Virtual Ride TV. VRideTv.com. and youtube channel. We had a good interview with Jeff Pennock about his V-Rod Anniversary Edition,and riding all over this great land, Canada, her provincial parks and scenic mountains, lakes and rivers.
He’s also supported by his better half, wife who sometimes goes with him on his trek/tours as companion and sometimes filming. Explore Canada with VirtualRideTV. More of interview to come. check out M~2TVextreme Channel on Youtube.

After filming of the array of custom choppers, and tweeked up HDs Road Kings, NightRods, Softtails, Heritage, FatBoy,Switchbacks just to name a few, it was not just a HD gathering, Buells, Yamaha, Honda, even some, Scooters, and other SBk’s at this event.

We stopped off for “Just Here For The BEER” tent. We spoke briefly to a female volunteer who was their only to support her friend and CEO of JHFTB, Mr. Rick Mohabir, mentioned that they were selling T’shirts as fundraiser in memorial of a dear friend who’d passed and about the annual ‘BeerFest’ coming up at Swan Garden Stadium in July2013. TBC on our, YouTube Channel.check out website for more details. justhereforthebeer.com.

Before wrapping up and running out of disk space on our digi-cam. We spoke to a couple of women-enthusiast passenger riders who, like ourselves [M~2TVextreme Prod] like to enjoy the ride. We don’t have to worry much about handling the bike on the road… just loving the ride.
We then, hustled down to Italian Day Fest on Commercial Dr. Weather still good, but, we didn’t get to the motorcycle dealer displays this year… we have some footage from 2012 Italia Day Ducati, Moto-guzzi and yes some Alfa-romeos classic‘… We love 4 wheels too, fast – vintage, and newer models as well. :-)

We will post on M~2TVex-Gallery later. We Hope to find more female bikers to interview in our next segment. :-)
Until next event…
Ride hard, Ride safe… Mj from M~2TVextreme, peace – out!

M~2TVextreme Motorcycle Meet-Up- Episodical

One of our members joined a social networking site called MeetUp. Our aim is to broaden our audience awareness and increase our content.
There are a few social meet-up groups for motorcycle enthusiastsand officiandos out there, some are more restricted to ‘just bikers’, meaning you may not attend or join their ‘group’ unless you own-ride a motorcycle namely a HOG. :-(
We didn’t join that one, but, found one operated by a female which we were glad to be a member of as, it is our aim to promote more female riders and women leading a professional and leisure lifestyle as a motorcyclist; or any motorized two/three wheeled vehicles ie: scooters, trykes, sbks etc.

Sunday June 2nd2013
There were couple events to attend. 1. a show n shine in Surrey BC and 2. Ride fundraiser in south Surrey/Langley BC. Both at Churches.
M~2TVex rep. Mj went to the closer of the two events, North Surrey just across the Fraser River in Scott Road area.
The weather was good all-round. Should prove to be a good day to ride and events should bring out a-lot of motorcyclists. None short as Surrey is pegged to have the most bikers in BC. :-)

Arriving at event, see approximately 100 bikes and about the same amount of patrons. Albeit, not at one time. The Bbq-pit was smoking, literally, live music was playing in the back lot, people mingling, viewing bikes entered in the ‘Peoples Choice’ contest for best custom – tweek’d -motorcycle. Mostly HD’s, found one lone Indian bagger,#17, mauve paint, in the competition. In the line up you found mosty Harleys, from Deluxe, Fat boy, Heritage Softtails, and a few vintage models.

The Freedom Church Show n Shines fundraiser held by members - bikers of the Surrey parish. Goal is to help raise money to build another Freedom Church in Red Deer AB. Today’s event brought several members from the Alberta FC congregation. Mj spoke briefly to an enthusiastic volunteer name Amber who was handing out ballots for the Peoples Choice motorcycle, a minimal purchase of 1 for a buck. ;-)
That was easy on our pocket (zero budget for this event coverage).

To wrap up, M2TVex presence at the Freedom Church Show n Shine was eventful, we saw some cool bikes, met couple nice patrons who were nice enough to give us some information about this fundraising campaign.
Thanks to Amber and others at this event who stop to chat with us.

sound-bite, b-roll of event tba on M-2TVextremes Youtube Channel.
Until then, ride hard, ride safe. peace-out

M~2TVextreme.com Interview w/ Azzkikr founder: Len Edmondson

M~2TVextreme.com Interview w/ Azzkikr founder: Mr. Len Edmondson
On the 34th Annual Vancouver Toy Run: October 7th 2012. This interview took place on Friday, October 12th… a very busy week for ACC. It was hard to pin Len down for this interview… Thanks Len for your time.
As some of you [viewers/patrons] of M~2TVextreme.com know, we posted that Azzkikr Customs Cycles was participating in this year’s Charity Ride and that they had also organized their own meet at their home base on the Fraser Hwy, in Langley BC.
We’re back! And as we promised you, an interview with one of the owners of ACC: Azzkikr Custom Cycles. On the phone today [Fri 12th Oct] we spoke to Len Edmondson about his participation in the 34th Annual Toy Run, which occurred Thanksgiving Sunday (Oct 7th).
It was great to finally get in touch with Len as he’s always on the go, a man on a mission, to bring ACC [Azzkikr Custom Cycles] to the next level. We briefly touched on ACC’s goals, what ACC will be producing, and where you will see them in the future.
This is the point where we start the interview with Mr. Edmondson… Azzkikr Custom Cycles has been an avid participant in the Toy Run for the past 8 years. This year they started out with 32 bikers who joined them by invitation only. Note that about half a dozen of them were new riders. The bikes ACC used were their own – you can see similar motorcycles on display in their shop.
The riders set out from Langley at about 10 am to meet up with the starting point of the Toy Run in Coquitlam and then continued on, meandering through streets and by-ways to Vancouver , to the site of the PNE: Pacific National Exhibition. Joining up with approximately 7,000 more riders on this route, is a great way to showcase what Azzkikr Custom Bikes can do on the road. While at the PNE Azzkikr showcased their custom bikes and baggers before they took the long ride back home to Langley.
The Toy Run Len’s started is a good course, but rather a short ride, lasting only approximately one hour. Not as much scenery as other rides he’s been on, but, it is for a good cause and he is willing to participate, weather permitting , each year on future runs. Another ride ACC was involved with is the Musicians for Therapy Ride, [http://musictherapyride.org ]which occurred on September 8th. This ride takes you from Fraser Downs Raceway in Cansino Vancouver, down to Hwy 7 East, passing through Abbotsford and up to Chilliwack, ending at the The Harrison Hot Springs Resort ‘s Lakeside Café. Len went on to say that he would like ACC to have their own run in future and is working closely with the organizers of the Music Therapy Ride Organization.
Here is a little history about the conception of Azzkikr Custom Cycles. The founder hails from Winnipeg, AB. At the tender age of 16 he started out building and refurbishing cars. It turned out he couldn’t afford the cost of completing the car he wanted to build so he traded it in for a motorcycle. His first bike was Norton 750 Commando [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norton_Commando] and he later graduated to the FXR – HD model, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley-Davidson_Super_Glide]. He continued to build, using Harley Davidson manufactured parts.
Later on, after starting a family and his own business, Flynn Canada Limited (a construction company), http://www.flynn.ca/Index.aspx, Len moved to Alberta, continued to build cars and bikes: even having his family join in on projects. Not long after, the family made another move to [BC] British Columbia in 2000, and in 2006 {partnering with his son Gord} Azzkikr Customs Cycles, builders of cars and bikes was born. http://azzkikr.ca/. Since then ACC has fabricated, modified, and produced over a hundred cars and bikes. Most of their sales go to “out of province” or “out of country” customers. Recently ACC has been developping its own ‘Deluxe Specialty Baggers’, using primarily HD[Harley Davidson] parts and frames. You can read up on ACC Baggers as featured in the October 23rd article in the Urban Bagger Magazine. Or check out http://www.urbanbagger.com/ and future articles in the American Bagger Magazine or http://www.americanbagger.com/
The future for Azzkikr Customs Cycles is manufacturing its own Brand of motorcycles from start to finish. Their goal is to make their name in the industry as true custom motorcyle builders.
We at M~2TVextreme are avid fans of Azzkikr Custom Cycles and can’t wait to see more of their products or what we like to call ‘Art on 2-Wheels’, the world of custom motorcycles.
Thank you, Len Edmondson, for the interview and Gord Edmondson for the pictures and T’s. Continued success to Azzkikr Custom Cycles.
