FeliciaPetey VerrettMy name is Felicia Petey Verrett. I began riding motorcycles

in 1999. In 2002 I took a dragracing class with world

champion dragracer Rickey Gadson and never looked back.

Since coming to Georgia, I have been known and proven to be one o the astest

emale motorcycle riders and THE astest emale dragracer in Georgia! I am still mentored by Mr. Gadson

and coached when we are racing at the same venues. I have always loved motorcycling and have become consumedwith motorcycle drag racing. My career goal is to become a top proessional rider in the area o motorsports specically,

motorcycle drag racing. I believe learning rom a 9 time world champion puts you in a pretty good position to be one o the

best! I intend to be THE top emale rider in the U.S. and abroad. I have held the title o Champion o the Female Race Wars

or 2007 and nished second place in 2008. I have raced in the Orient Express Nationals, AMA Drag bike series in Atco, New

Jersey as well as SEMDRA racing series in Georgia. I have been throughout the east coast at various tracks and am well known

in the dragracing and motorcycle communities as a ormidable opponent. I am one o the ofcial spokespersons or 1 in 8

Motorsports or breast cancer research, I have also spoken at motorsports conerences to include: Female Sportbike weekend

and Public Relations Ofcers Convention (PRO Convention). I hope to encourage and support all women who want to ride

and race motorcycles and share my knowledge whenever I can. I look orward to the new racing season, opportunities to

meet new people, make new riends and all the competition at the tracks! Its all un and games till the light drops!

s it possible to express a persons character via the medium o building a motorcycle?

Just call me Jimmy. Im one o the ew ortunate individuals to have had the

experience o watching my own custom bike built by Chica. When fnished, we called

the bike Two Face as Chica somehow succeeded in expressing my dual-natured

character through the Frisco-styled chop. You may be wondering, Dual-what?What are you talking about, dude? Theres a kind o pathological insanity being tempered by

a God-consciousness stirring in my soul which is the theme expressed throughout Two Face.

Using his razor sharp intuition and pure cratsmanship, it was as though Chica reached down

into my soul grabbed something and out came a killer bike. But dont let my words take away

rom the act that it took a year and hal o sweat in the Huntington Beach shop with all the

grinding, wrenching, welding, cutting, and torching to create this one o kind build.I16 | CYCLEPATHMAG.COM

Careully examine both sides o the bike. Youll see the dual-natured theme everywhere. The gas tank, which

is halves o a mustang and a sportster tank welded together, is the most obvious. The oil tank is oval on one

side and a diamond on the other. But look at the metal work on the sissy bar or the metal o the primary cover.

Twisted and smooth. Its got two diferent tips on the exhaust pipes. How about the two diferent stitch patterns

on the seat? Observe the bike rom a bit o a distance and you see a balanced chopper with its precise posture.

Initially theres a lot to take in, but Im proud o the act that while thousands o Chica ans have taken their t ime to

see it as a show-bike, it gets ridden hard and ridden oten.

I you roll on a Chica Custom, you have to get used to being stared at. Its a bike that draws immediate

attention. I was riding through Hollywood once and noticed this guy and his wie ollowing me or a ew miles.

I was creeped out until he nally rolled down his window at a stoplight and asked, Is that like a stick-shit

motorcycle or something? I think it was his rst time seeing a jockey-shit in action. The jockey shiter is my

avorite piece on the bike. The 93 S&S Shovel perorms impressively well. The narrow 11 over Chica-springer

ront-end was engineered to handle speeds o up to 90mph with relative ease.

For a chopper, it handles confdently through the twists and the turns. Its been

almost 5 years since Ive owned the bike and it has the reliability o a stock metric

bike. Ironically, though its a loud rigid, I get a lot o time to think when riding

Two Face. Its my time to escape or a minute. When the bike is moving, the

dual-natures unite as I merge with the machine. Its a eeling thats tough to put

into words. I theres one word I can think o to describe what Im eeling as Im

rushing into the wind on this bike it would have to be: BLESSED.

Nowadays when I roll by the shop, Chica Custom

Cycles seems a bit more chill in contrast to several

years ago when people still had money and

choppers were the media darling. When I frst tread

the grounds o the shop, Chica employed several

workers including the late Johnny Chop and churned

out several custom bikes per year. While the shop

was certainly busier, there was the stress and the

overhead that were costly. Like so many o us, Chica

is no exception to having to weather the economic

recession. In spite o the tough season, the shop stil

has a ew custom bikes backed up and theres always

service work to be done. Chica keeps himsel busyhandling the business as it is a one-man show today

Hes also an avid soccer player. Lets not orget being

a amily man, he always has his hands ull with his

wie and three children. I see more serenity in his

eyes these days and sense a deeper inner satisaction

in him. A lot o shops have been swept away in the

past ew years, but Chica Customs is still running

steady. With its soulul cratsman at the helm, Chica

Customs will be around or a while.

Where did you grow up?

Wow, as a kid I moved a lot! Momwas a single parent so we had

most o my lie In the SGV and

South East L.A, which has always

been home to me.

Do you have any kids?

Yes, I have a beautiul daughter.

How old where you when you

realized dancing was for you?

Well, I have always loved to

dance ever since I was a kid but

I would say I knew what I wanted

to do with my lie when I was a

senior in High School, just be-

cause the odds were against me

so I took on the challenge and

proved everyone wrong about

me, thats another story...

What has been your biggest

accomplishment?

Wow there is so many to men-

tion. I would say proving toamily, my riends and mysel,

as long as you set your mind on

something and you work hard

at it, you can get to where you

want to go. Anything is possible

as long as you have dreams and

ambitions. I could really go on

about this question...

How did you get discovered for

the 2002 super bowl Levi com-

mercial?

Well at that time I had an agent

and a manager so they sent meon the audition. I got a unny

story on that...

Do people recognize you in the

street?

They did when that commercial

frst hit, now they recognize me

or other shows that the crew and

mysel have done.

How do you get your legs to move the way they

do?

Its a secret, cant tell you guys about my special

powers...

Do you have any fears when dancing in front of

large crowds?

I did at one time but not anymore. It is like ridding

a bike to me now. I was also scared to talk on the

mic, now you cant get me to shut up.

How often do you practice your moves?

I dont anymore. I stopped practicing about ve

years ago Everything I do today is of the top

o my head, but I have to get back to practicing

because these kids now days are sick, I have to try

and keep up with them.

Do you belong to a dance crew?

Yes, The Inamous Soul2Soul Bboys Est 1997 And

L.As Baddest Popplockers the FunnyBones Crew Est 2002 now with

chapters in Phoenix, AZ and Roswell, New Mexico.

27 Junkies Liestyle is slowly building. It is looking good thanks to

my partner Marco or knocking designs out and dealing with my

ass... And my boy Ala and Fam or hitting the Streets with our stufand making noise about the 27 Junkies Movement.

How do you feel when you see someone in the street wearing

your gear?

Words cannot explain the eeling and I know it is only going to get

better.

Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?

MARRIED WITH 20 KIds.... just kidding.... God willing I will be in the

27 Junkies warehouse and hopeully I will have my own Dance

Studio some day.

What

is something you would like to

accomplish in this career?

Everything I wanted to accomplish has

been accomplished already, now Im

working on new goals.

Who would you like to thank for always supporting you?

So many to Mention. First o course our heavenly ather or putting

me in the position I am in today. My Mother or always being there

and pushing me to do more. My ather or never understanding

why I did what I did and thinking it was a waste o time until he

rst seen me on TV. O course my Beautiul little girl that keeps me

going, damn Im in trouble when she gets big! Evelyn For givingme such a great daughter, my brothers Izzy, Joey, Marco, Casper,

During the El Nino in 1999 he was killing it! Bran-don just learned inverted airs and was ofcially on the

Airwalk B team with a slew of sponsors behind him

Ie: Split, Anarchy Eyewhere, Pro tec, and a bunch

more. That

was the

best year

of his life

he states.

Then he

out of his

had gotten

a CR 250

E n d u r o

years prior

with thehelp of his

girlfriend/

b i g g e s t

sponsor of all. During this time, Brandon now had

tons of time to ride it. He took it to Mammoth dur-

ing the summers and realized he just wanted to ride.

Didnt matter what, just that he could go fast and

wide open turns! After doing a movie in Big Bear

2001, he bought a 1996 Honda Shadow 600 with

some of the cash he had collected and this became

his toy to cruise long distance. It was only a fewmonths before realizing he needed a bigger engine

and cooler bike! Brandon had no clue until his rid-

ing got deep and his passion then blossomed.

A buddy

of his had

a Triumph

C h o p p e r

a n o t h e r

had a Har-

ley Sport-

ster and

was a bit

jealous of

the loud-

ness and

coolness of

their bikes.

ley Deuce,

out the

door and

little did he know that with the encouragement of

friends, he had put another 5k into it and totally trans-

formed it into a California Heartland poster bike.

Saddest day was when he sold it about a month ago.

falling in love and nding a

new meaning of going fast.

How it all started. As a young buck, Brandon was all about being mischie-

vous and it was always leading him towards trouble at the end of the day.

In 1990 Brandon decided to go to the Mountains and rent a snowboard.

The best way to describe his experience was falling in love and nding

a new meaning of going fast. Wide open with the wind screaming in

his face. Hochman claims that nding snowboarding as an activity was

the best thing that ever happened to him. Pouring all of his time and

dedicating his life around it, motorcycles came in the picture and he thenstarted off by working at Atomic Garage on Melrose as the tech and store

designer. Brandon was able to ride with the passes that were given to them through working at the

shop, best perk of all he says. Later down the road he bought a pro-model off of a friend/Pro, a steal

that was the latest "next year" technology and before he knew it, he was riding with the elite of the

mountain. Learning their moves and riding fast to keep up, they pushed him into the level he soon

acquired. Later he picked up a few sponsors to help pave his way to lm, contests, then later into

Hollywood doing stunts and product placement. Soon after he helped in the production of snow and

skate related movies and commercials.

Brandon Hochman, a

former professional snow-

boarder, invented the rst

PETaPOTTY out of neces-

sity. Long days of training

and extensive travel, left

him with little time to tend

to the needs of his dogs.

Too often he returned

home to soiled carpets

and sulking animals. The

dogs had designated the

living room carpet as their

personal bathroom; so

Hochman devised a plan.

This plan brought the rst

PETaPOTTY into fruition.

Hochmans creation pro-

vided him with the free-

dom to leave home for

the day and occasionally

overnight without having

to worry about his dogs

doing their business on

the carpet. After seeing

the benet of his creation,

Hochman realized that petowners of all sorts could

benet from his nifty in-

vention, not just dog own-

ers. In November of 2002, PETaPOTTY

began production of the rst line of PETa-

POTTY units, marketing to the unique needs

of pets and pet owners from all walks of life.

Proudly Made in the USA

Since building our rst PETaPOTTY,

each unit has been manufactured by hand

in the heart of Los Angeles, California.

We understand that businesses like ours

help keep America up and running. Even

with the economy in ux and the rising

cost of fuel and materials, PETaPOTTY

continues to do its part by staying lo-

cal and acting global, providing jobs to

the community and conserving energy

that would be burned importing goods.

HighlandMX 450

Test RideThe Highland MX450R is an American Built beauty taking it to the next level.

There is now a new player in the hotly contested MX eld. Introducing fuel in-

jection and a revised engine, frame and suspension. Were talking about a to-

tal rework of the motorcycle industry. A revolutionary fuel injection system de-

livers low-end grunt. Its patent pending design only gets better as it smoothly

powers you through the power-band. The stainless steel frames light and

strong. You get strong where its needed yet forgiving to the rider, and abso-

lutely brutal to the competition. For front suspension sometimes you have to

make tough choices Marzocchi or Ohlins? Highland the choice is yours! When

was the last time that you had to choose between two options that were both

the worlds best? They make it easy on you for the rear shock. You have the

nest in Ohlins rear shock technology. Here again you have a choice Brembo,

or Beringer two of the leasers in powersport deceleration.

Failure is not an option to the Highland MX 450 . The four-valve, single

cam engine is innovative and is going to be very reliable. The transmission

and engine are Engineered and stress tested to insure that what you get is the

best material science engineering can offer. Speed, efciency and durabil-ity. At a claimed 247 pounds, the bikes weight is a bit heavy but right in

there with the rest of the 450 class. One thing you will know youre on a

big, serious motocross bike. In the highlands, power, speed and indomitable

spirit are required for survival. Every design is scrutinized and tested under

the demands of the harsh realities of the highlands. To Highland winning is

in their blood, and it in their heritage.

Smooth sweeping lines make the 2010 MX 450 fow.

very smooth throttle response and raw grunt from bottom to top make this

a very effective motocross engine.

The 450 starts reasonably well for a big thumper. Once it starts moving it

pulls and keeps pulling! Good shifting tranny and a smooth clutch can get

you to that rst turn. Fuel injection has eliminated the entire classic big

four-stroke nastiness; no cough and die at inopportune times at low rpmfor no apparent reason. The extra weight was not a real factor. The bike felt

nimble and turned well.

This highland still requires a good amount of very skill. But with the smooth

power delivery, conspire to make this a presumably easy bike to ride for any

level rider, be it on a motocross track or wide, fast trails.

The MX 450 is has great handling for a precise rider. The big powerful

engine is the best part of the handling package. At times it is easy to get in

over your head because of the smooth delivery of power. .

On a jump-heavy motocross track our 165-pound tester praised the rm and

well-damped action at both ends. Test riders had little trouble keeping the

bike in line while the front end skittered across choppy braking bumps on

the Glen Helen motocross track.

Our quickest rider had fewer complaints about the suspension but on the ip

side, not a sole had any problems starting the beast with the electric start,

however they did rave about how much fun this bike was to ride. The fun

does not stop there anything resembling dirt can be fun. Our test bike was

no exception. You know the drill: Find the biggest hill, point, shoot and

climb. With big power comes huge well you know.

When it comes to other important stuff, like ergonomics, the MX450 is a

dream. We had no complaints from anyone in our test group, from 58

to 6. We asked if them, could you live with this bike? The answer was

yes. That alone says why Highland MX450 is on its way to be one of the

favorite motocross bikes on the market. The bike is fast, handles well,

smooth delivery, a huge amount of power and well balanced suspension.

On the track or in the woods the smooth throttle response of the MX450

can simply be the perfect combination.

Highland might be the new kid on the block, but is going to be a force to

recon with.

We like to thank Highland for inviting us to test out

the new 2010 MX450.

The suspension goes a long way to help control

the MX 450R on hard braking bumps.

A great race bike handles doubles with no problems.

EVS WriStEr GloVES

EVS Wrister gloves are very

unique in that they incor-

porate a removable wrist

support strap built into the

glove. The gloves are com-

ortable and although a littlebit hotter than others they

provide great wrist sup-

port. They are perect or

riders who have minor or

chronic wrists pain where

a brace is not justied

but some support is. This

is just my case, and I can

honestly say that since

getting them, I very

seldom ride without.

Overall they eel

great, the hand and

thumb padding is goodand the t is solid. The

other great plus us is

that the wrist supports

are removable, so i you

only have 1 bum wrist, it s simple

to remove the support and wear it like

a regular glove. Hook and Loop asteners allow

adjustment o the wrist support as well as the

amount o tension around the cuf o the glove

this allows you to add the support where you

need it most.

(BNS) is a structure which is designed to work with a helmet to reduce the risk and severity

o a catastrophic neck injury (i.e. a paralyzing injury) while riding motocross or o-road.

While no product can guarantee protection rom all motorcycle injuries, due to the var-

ied dynamics o accidents, the BNS is designed to substantially reduce the likelihoodo a career ending neck injury although it must be stated at the outset that it, as with

other such systems, may not prevent injuries occurring in all cases. The BNS comes

with its own carrying bag or extra convenience.

The Bionic Neck Support Carbon Key FeaturesPivot Key system: A special magnesium key located at the rear allows the con-

venient ront opening o the device while also allowing it to be dismantled in an

emergency.

Fitting System: Fine adjustment of the shoulder height allows a more personalised t

particularly or individuals who have a shorter than normal neck.

Rear Stabiliser Failure system: In the event of large loads being channeled onto the rear

stabiliser (the part that sits on the back) there are a number o deliberate bending and

racture points designed to relieve extreme loads that may be transmitted down the back.

These include:

oDefection o oam tailoGrooves to allow defection o support structure tip

oFracture area of support structure tip

oFracture of supporting members (also fracture if subject to side loads that could cause a large rotation to the head).

Collar Bone preservation 1: All parts in contact with the body use an expanded foam compound to distribute the impact force over the widest

area yet remain light in weight.

Collar Bone preservation 2: A continuous frame member runs over the shoulders this means there are no weak points in a critical part of

the rame and that there are no metal pins or screws sitting directly above the shoulders which could be dislodged into the shoulders or col-

larbone during an accident.

Choice of Strap Systems. The BNS is supplied with the X-Strap System which allows a small, light strap (worn over or under the jersey) to se -

cure the device to the rider. The larger A-Strap assembly (available as a separate accessory) provides a traditional chest strap for those who like

to wear the protector tight to the body.

Carbon Composite frame to maximize frame stiness and minimize weight.

Mounting points for accessories: Assist the integration of the BNS with your own Alpinestars accessories.
