I don’t know about you but this Earth Day feels different to me, definitely some wind at our backs, and all Environmental efforts for a change.
New projects with big time funding behind it can now be seen in Wind, Solar and Alternative Fuels such as; Bio and Hydrogen. All have taken hold and continue to grow. Now being Green is the Trendy and Right thing to do. Green is the New Black.

Way back in 1989, while attending Pace University in Briarcliff Manor at the time, we celebrated Earth Day. It was the first time they had celebrated Earth Day since 1970.  Now Earth Day has grown into an official date on the calendar. The first official “Earth Day” was April 22, 1970. The idea was that of Gaylord Nelson, a US Senator. The official Earth Day date of the United Nations however coincides with the March Equinox,  the day the Earth shifts on its Axis and our days become longer.

GreenAndReady.com is pleased to bring you articles that are relevant to the Green Generation.

Articles on Alternative Fuels,  Avoiding Poisons in Everyday Life, The New Green Language of today and even a few on Sustainable Tourism. But what we truly seek is a comprehensive directory of all Green Businesses, know one, let us know, how they are Green and Ready ?

5 Things You Can Do Now To Celebrate Earth Day

1 - Unplug appliances when you’re not using them. Or, use a “smart” power strip that senses when appliances are off and cuts “phantom” or “vampire” energy use.

2 - Do Not Drive Your Car, If You Must Drive- Carpool. Try Walking, or Cycling

3 - Plant a garden, shrub, tree and or plant today.

4 - Skip the bottled water and go with a re-usable Stainless Steel bottle

5 - Keep Electronics out of the Trash. Commit to further Reduce, Re-Use and Recycling programs

It’s not too late to change our fate and start protecting the planet, Make Everyday Earth Day.

Virginia is for lovers and bikers.

RICHMOND, Va. - Got your motor running?  Looking for adventure?  Beginning April 4, motorcyclists with a Motorcycle Grand Tour of Virginia passport can head out on the highway and find adventure at more than 50 premier tourism destinations and attractions throughout the commonwealth and win some great prizes as well.

The Motorcycle Grand Tour of Virginia is a motorcyclist’s dream, celebrating 40 years of “Virginia is for Lovers” - not to mention the movie Easy Rider and Arlo Guthrie’s The Motorcycle Song. Through October 2009, riders and their passengers can express their passion for riding and for Virginia by collecting prize points when their passport is stamped at each participating location.  More stamps mean more fun and more prizes.

Participants completing the entire tour with a total of 164 points will receive a Motorcycle Grand Tour of Virginia jacket and be in the running to win one of the following - two season passes for Virginia International Raceway 2010, a 1000-watt generator from Fredericksburg Motorsports, a $500 gift certificate from California Sidecar Factory in Nellysford, a $500 cash award from Dr Pepper, or a two-night stay at Wintergreen Resort in Nelson County.

For riders accumulating more than 100 points, names will be entered into a random drawing for prizes ranging from gift certificates from motorcycle dealers across the state, overnight stays at participating hotels and resorts, motorcycle tires, tour books and cash awards.

The official kick-off of the 2009 Motorcycle Grand Tour of Virginia is at Kings Dominion on Saturday, April 4.  On-site registration is available from 10 a.m. - noon along with special half-priced tickets for admission to Kings Dominion for riders presenting their ride passport during the official kick-off.

To participate in the 2009 Grand Tour of Virginia, log on to motorcycleva.com to download the registration form.  Send the completed form along with the $25 registration fee to the address indicated on the form. All registrants will receive an official Grand Tour t-shirt, ride pin and passport.

The program kicks-off April 4, 2009, but riders can register until Sept. 1, 2009.  Completed Motorcycle Grand Tour of Virginia passports must be mailed and postmarked by Nov. 1, 2009 to be eligible for ride prizes. A complete list of the sponsors, prizes and rules are also posted on motorcycleva.com, along with a Virginia map highlighting all of the stops on the Grand Tour.

The Motorcycle Grand Tour of Virginia is a partnership between the Governor’s Motorcycle Advisory Council, the Virginia Hospitality and Travel Association (VHTA), and the Virginia Motorcycle Dealers Association, with support from the Virginia Tourism Corporation.

Tourism is one of Virginia’s most powerful industries, generating $19 billion in revenue, supporting 210,000 jobs and providing $1.2 billion in state and local taxes for Virginia’s communities.

Xtreme Green Launch in 2009

HENDERSON, Nev., March 17 /PRNewswire/ — Xtreme Motorsports International, Inc. (Pink Sheets: XTMM - News), through its wholly owned subsidiary, YamaBuggy Sales & Distribution, Inc., is pleased to announce that in conjunction with Quicksand Performance the all new Hydrogen Hybrid XYB-400 Side X Side will be unveiled to select Dealers and Investors in Newport Beach, CA on Friday, March 20, 2009.

The all new XYB-400 will feature a Hydrogen System designed by Hydrogen Hybrid Corp. (Pink Sheets: HYDB - News) and is designed to improve mileage, and further reduce emissions. The company is in final stages of EPA testing, and expects to receive confirmation on the XYB-400 passing both the EPA and CARB standards without the Hydrogen System by early May 2009. “We anticipate there will be a tremendous interest in our development towards a ‘Greener’ off-road vehicle and using Hydrogen Systems initially will provide a very efficient and cost effective solution. In addition we are researching and developing an all electric version which will be added into the Xtreme Green lineup,” stated Walt Tatum, Chairman of the Board.

“In February we announced The XYB-1300, which was unveiled at the Dealer Expo in Indianapolis, and now we are demonstrating our move into the Xtreme Green phase which has been in the planning and development stages since we decided to build the Brand and develop specific levels of performance to meet our ‘Mild to Wild’ mix of vehicles. We introduced the smaller 400 CC Buggy first, and in February we introduced the 1300 CC powerhouse, and soon we are going to fill in the offering with a mid 600 - 700 CC vehicle, rounding out our XYB series,” stated Omar Deen, President of Quicksand Performance.

Mr. Tatum added, “The decision to adapt our vehicles to a ‘Green’ standard has been our vision from the moment we acquired the exclusive distribution rights for North America. We knew we wanted to go ‘Green’, and we knew technology existed to help us get there, but our initial focus was perfecting the design and ergonomics of the vehicle, and introducing the different levels of power and performance. Now we are ready to move forward and do our part in making off-road enthusiasts aware of the positive environmental choices they can make.”

Dude, its here. the new film from Daron Ker, tells it like it is and without the BS.

This is America. This is Biker Culture. Get on. Hold tight. Shut up! The First Biker Movie ever. Get on. Hold tight. Shut up.

Featuring: THE FRYED BROTHERS BAND, WILLIE NELSON, SONNY BARGER, PAT SIMMONS
DAVE NICHOLS, STEVE BEATNIK WERNER, CHARLIE BRECHTEL
Motorcycle Club: HESSIANS, GHOST MOUNTAIN RIDERS, CIRCLE OF PRIDE, CHUBBS BROS
Music: THE FRYED BROTHERS BAND, STEVE BEATNIK WERNER, CHARLIE BRECHTEL

Since The Wild One in the 1950s the world has been fascinated with the mythic culture of the American biker. Who are these people with the loud motorcycles, leather jackets, tattoos, and long beards? Where are they going as they roar through town in large packs? And what do they do when they arrive wherever theyre going? I RIDE is the film that finally tells the true-to-life story of the biker community in America.
Through the eyes and music of The Fryed Brothers Band, I RIDE will take you on an illuminating road trip through the biker world: bare knuckle fights you actually sign up for, wild bar-b-ques and camp outs, and partying raw and rowdy at some of the biggest hard core biker festivals. This trip will wind up at Sturgis, South Dakota for a Fryed Brother Band performance to end all performances.
The Fryed Brothers Band? They’re the best band you’ve probably never heard of. For 29 years theyve been the exclusive house band of Americas Biker Movement. Every year The Fryed Brothers headline most of the preeminent biker events in America including the Easyriders Show in Sacramento, CA, Rips Bad Ride in Irvine, CA, Ghost Mountain Riders Show in Salinas, CA, the Circle of Pride in Iowa, and most importantly, Sturgis Bike Week, the largest gathering of bikers in the world, which completely takes over the small town of Sturgis, South Dakota every August to celebrate this outlaw culture.
When they were young, Harry and Tommy Fryeds older brother Mark died in a accident while riding his beloved Harley. The brothers resolved then to keep Marks memory alive through a devotion to the motorcycle culture and the music he loved… and thus was formed The Fryed Brothers Band. The song I Ride — a key song in their repertoire and in the documentary — is a tribute to their fallen brother.
I RIDE, the film, is a tribute to their perserverance, dedication and love of all things biker.

Exclusive offer for our friends in the Biker and Motorcycle world. For a limited time we are offering a Pre-release DVD signed by Director Daron Ker of Water Buffalo Films and The Fryed Brothers Band. Bikers and fans are already calling I Ride “a biker cult classic.” With your pre-release purchase of $25.00 you receive a hand signed, hand numbered limited edition DVD while supplies last.

$25 - I Ride - Limited Edition Signed DVD shipped to you April 1, 2009. Back Stage Pass to Private Online Screening starting March 28 through April 1, 2009. Invite your Motorcycle Club for a private screening or throw that DVD in and Get On, Hold Tight and Shut Up! IRIDEtheMovie.com

Well everybody believe it or not it’s Bike Week  already. Friday Febuary 27,2009 is the official start of the 68th annual Daytona Beach Bike Week. The town of Daytona and general area are going all out this year. I guess with the economy being in the state that it is in they are hoping for a decent turnout. We here at Iron Biker News will be there, hopefully equiptment permitting, we will have some live feeds for you all. Just like at Sturgis if you can’t make it this year you’ll want to be here. This being basically the begining of the riding season I would like to take this time to wish everybody a safe year.                Sorry it’s been so long since  you’ll have heard from me, I’ve been a little busy on a few other projects and also had a few family health issues to tend to. Everything is back to normal and I will be able to be a little more active this year.  Look for the live feeds from daytona.           Once again ride safe and ride often. See ya on the highway, Mr. Magoo

You may be wondering, “How can you remove a dent from a motorcycle tank?” It’s a good question, and one that has puzzled many people over the years. Specialists in this area of dent removal have got it down to a fine art these days. Their dent removal techniques are just like magic.

How can you remove a dent from a motorcycle tank? By going inside to push out, or by going outside to pull out, either way the dent gets removed.

Motorcycle gas tanks have their caps on the top, usually at the highest point. That way they can be filled to the maximum. Unfortunately, the gas caps on motorcycle tanks are not large openings.

Some motorcycle gas tanks are double skinned. It’s a bit like having a tank inside a tank. This kind of gas tank makes it difficult to remove the dent from the inside as you will be applying pressure to the inside metal skin, and not the outside metal skin where the dent actually is.

However, if the tank has a single wall, or metal skin, then the job becomes very easy. Well, easy in the hands of an expert at least. The first thing done is to attach an object a bit like a flag onto the tank. This has a flexible mounting that can be adjusted to any angle, and at the end is a rectangular flag-like card with parallel black lines running the length of it on a white background.

This is a very clever idea. The “flag” is reflected in the shiny paintwork of the motorcycle gas tank. If the tank is in perfect factory condition, then the reflected black lines will all be smooth. If on the other hand the tank is dented, then the reflected lines will converge, balloon and be distorted where the reflected dent is. This is important!

As the dent is massaged and caressed from the inside, using a special tool designed for removing dents in motorcycle gas tanks, the reflected black lines in the region of the dent will become less and less ballooned and distorted. By the time the technician has completely removed the entire dent, the reflection will be smooth and perfect.

Of course, the actual surface of the motorcycle tank is constantly checked as well for smoothness. But the reflections of the black lines is arguably the best visual and actual guide as to the presence or otherwise of the dent. Properly performed, the dent will vanish completely and the repair will be wholly invisible. That’s the mark of a good motorcycle dent removal - nothing left to see.

The days of answering the question of, “How can you remove a dent from a motorcycle tank?” by removing the tank, rubbing it down, or removing the paint with stripper completely, then applying filler, rubbing that down before re-spraying the entire thing has all but gone.

Today’s expert technicians use paintless dent removal techniques. They attempt to leave the original factory paint exactly as it is. They also attempt to remove the dent with leaving a mark, and more often than not they succeed.
