Why is it called No Coast Choppers?

"The name No Coast Choppers and Trikes was chosen for this company because we are a chopper and trike shop. We are located in sunny southern Oklahoma where we have creek banks, river banks, pond banks, and lake shores but no coasts. We therefore feel it is our duty to be No Coast Choppers and Trikes !!!"

OTHERS JUMPING ON THE HOG-WAGON

City going hog wild over Harley rally

Motorcycle owners may spend $30K here

Daily Ardmoreite News

What’s that roar heading down the interstate, it is the sound of the throttle twisting the economic pulse of Carter County. Upward of 1,500 Harley-Davidson motorcycles and their well-off owners are rolling into the center of the city for three days leading into next weekend. How enthusiastic are downtown merchants about the Scooterfest Rally?

As soon as a reporter mentioned the event, the City Managers office receptionist launched into a recitation of the rally's virtues before a question was even asked. “Have you heard of our Black Gold Festival that is running next weekend? Please invite the motorcycle riders to attend the events downtown. They can also visit the Train Depot area, and get a taste of Ardmore during Thursday night’s A Taste of Ardmore where restaurants showcase their culinary delights. But let me give you some names to contact regarding points of interest for these visiting tourists.”

"It's a sound, concentrated effort of all Ardmore merchants who are really bonding together to make these people come back on a yearly basis,” said Andrea Edwards, manager of Long Horn Scooters. The Scooter shop is located on Prairie Road next door to the Flying J Truck Stop off I-35. Edwards will coordinate the Bike games and Poker Run for the Rally which is slated to run from Sept 19 through Sept 21st at Lake Country Speedway at exit 24 off I-35 on Hwy 77, south of Ardmore. Long Horn Scooters moved from their long time previous location to a brand new facility this summer. We are a full service multi-brand motorcycle dealer.” We handle some Harley Davidsons and Harley parts, but we also sell and service other brands of motorcycles. We have a full line of accessories and apparel for bikers and motorcycle riders of all types.” “ I used to hold rally Bike Games at my home, but the size of the group grew beyond what I could accommodate there, so we have moved the games to the Lake Country Speedway for this event.

For her part, Edwards will have Longhorn Scooters, 3312 Prairie Valley Rd., open Friday and Saturday. "Smaller merchants, we have to do our share to get the ball rolling," Edwards said. Long Horn Scooters has a full line of Leather & More, in there alternative clothing and leather boutique, just in time for a Fall wardrobe makeover. Online:http://www.nocoastchoppersandtrikes.com

The Outlaws Expert Motorcycle Flat Track racing tops the list of "fun and games" the Biker Rally attendees will be in store for. The Bikers will be participants in Field Games involving their steeds, however on Saturday night at 7pm the Big Twins will thunder the speedway at speeds around 100mph as the steel-shoed warriors slide their big bore motorcycles into the turns on the high banked clay oval track. This is a Regional, riders from five states are scheduled to participate in the racing that includes sportsman amateur classes beginning at 4pm.

Dating back to pre-World War II, Flat Track motorcycle racing is the uniquely American form of motorcycle racing. Riders pitch their machines sideways into the turns, inches apart from each other, at speeds of over 100 mph. Drafting on the long straight keeps the field close and provides the closest finishes in motorcycle racing. The Lake Country Speedway’s e 3/8 Mile Track is renowned for fast racing, intense drafting wars, and multiple lead changes on every lap. Often a photo finish camera is needed to reveal the winner at the end of the furious 15-lap finale. AMA GNC National #3 Smokin’ Joe Kopp won the last Motorcycle Flat Track race held at Lake Country Speedway.

It is a family affair for motorcycle expert racers that make up the Sherb clan. Scott Sherb, from Decauter, Texas will bring his stable of racing bikes along with his team called the Sherbites. Sons Corby, Logan, Lucas, and Merle, make up this formidable racing team. Dad Scott holds the Number One title with the AMA in the Harley Davidson Sportster Performance classification. All five-race motorcycles, and do it with style. Starting out at the tender age of 4-yr-old, the boys have a natural knack for speed. Most are in their late teens now, and have matured into what is a powerhouse of thundering speed around the speedways of the AMA GNC circuit and the VDTRA. What do these guys do when not racing motorcycles, one works in the race shop for World famous motorcycle dirt track builder Kenny Tolbert, crew chief for seven time AMA GNC Flat Track Champion Chris Carr. The others, they build fences.

Aubry Harris, who owns Two Frogs Grill said he enjoys the bikers and welcomes all to come enjoy his flavorful menu of delightful entrées fresh off the coals. Nearby is the Comfort Inn, which plays host to many tourists groups visiting Ardmore. Both are located at the Broadway exit off of I-35. To the locals the close proximity of the restaurants and motels in that area may not have much meaning, but to the traveler having quality dining within walking distance is a luxury to most.

"This is very much a group right in my demographic," Harris said. "This is another event I've seen so many diverse businesses get behind. This is exactly what we need to be doing for Ardmore."

Edwards and Harris are among 20 merchants willing to spend time helping to promote these types of events that help drive the economic pulse in Ardmore. Posters are displayed at their businesses assembled especially for the Scooterfest 2008 event, at the suggestion of some of the group's southern Oklahoma members, the rally will be in Ardmore for the first time after hosting rallies and races in other parts of Oklahoma for the past seven years. The Biker rally will fill downtown and the Lake Country Speedway Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

The Harley owners will eat and sleep here, stop for photos in the historic downtown area, take a scenic tour poker run of the area, hold Bike Games at the Racetrack. And - perhaps as a surprise to them - see the historic Sante Fe Train Depot and working passenger train, 251 E. Main Street. Spectators for the Motorcycle Rally and Races set for Friday and Saturday may even ride into town from Oklahoma City or Ft Worth or six other stops, aboard on Amtrak’s “Heartland Flyer.”

While the bikers will not be riding in a parade downtown this year, as they often do around Christmas time to raise toys for the underprivileged, they will be visiting and stopping to spend money at shops, restaurants and businesses in the downtown and surrounding area of Ardmore.

What do city leaders think about having 1,500 Harley-Davidsons rumbling through downtown?
Take a guess: City Manager’s office was glad to hear the Harley owners are coming to town. City officials and downtown merchants recognize two things: "Harley owners are not your typical wild bikers and they are expected to spend $30K during their three-day stay in Ardmore", said James Lamey, executive director of the Ardmore Main Street Authority.

"It's people coming to downtown who have disposable income who are predisposed to spend it because they are on mini-vacation," Lamey said.

By coincidence, the Harley Group Rally, mostly based around the Lake Country Speedway, will fill downtown the same weekend as the Black Gold Festival at the Main Street District. The Ardmore Downtown Alliance has drawn downtown merchants and museums together to create a “Oil & Gold Thunder" theme for the weekend. It combines the roar of motorcycles with the melodious “Battle of the Bands” at the Expo on Friday at 4 to 6pm. Later in the evening the party moves to the Lake Country Speedway Rally grounds.

A preview of the Motorcycle Races will be held Friday night at the Speedway with a Test and Tune session running from 5pm until 7:30pm to coincide with the rally. A BBQ Dinner, and it may very well be HOG on the smoker, will be served at the Rally at 7:30, and the popular Band "Strongwood" will perform beginning at 8pm at the Lake Country Speedway Rally grounds.

This year is Harley-Davidson’s 105th anniversary.

Especially welcoming will be the Hotel Comfort Inn Ardmore, the rally's official host hotel, even though only a fraction of the riders will fit into its 104 rooms. The hotel, at 2700 W. Broadway, may be sold out at a time of year when it's normally half-empty, General Manager director Garrett Mays said.

"For well over a year, I've been working to help bring these type of events in Ardmore," Mays said. "These are people who are doctors and lawyers. These are people who have money."

Admission to the Bike Rally and Races is $25 for a two-day pass, or $15 for one day. Access to the Pit Area for participants, their crews and their guests is $20, but does not include the Rally portion of the event.

Gates open at noon on Friday, overnight camping, a BBQ Dinner at 7:30 pm included with Rally Wrist Band, and the band ''Strongwood going on stage at 8pm. Test N Tune for motorcycles and ATV Quads is scheduled for 5pm till 7:30pm atop the clay oval racetrack. Additional information, phone the Speedway Rally Office - 405-831-3484.
