Harley-Davidson ‘Liberates’ Domesticated Animals

From Boulder-based Victors & Spoils comes the motorcycle spot that crowdsourcing can buy. Debuting alongside the season premiere of FX’s hit show Sons of Anarchy last night, the second installment in the “No Cages” campaign for Harley-Davidson depicts a rather harmless looking young man release a bunch of dogs into the wild wilderness of suburbia.

Why would he do this? Maybe he’s on drugs. Maybe he doesn’t understand that pet-store animals spread disease throughout the community until they’re eventually killed off by raccoons. Maybe the dog’s living situation reminds our friendly anti-hero of his own time spent in the slammer. Or, maybe he’s just a dick. Whatever his motivation, it all makes up for a very “cute” spot. But wait, does “cute” traditionally sell motorcycles to rebellious youth or weary men going through midlife crises? Well, when you consider almost 5 million viewers (3.22 million in the 18-49 demographic) tuned into the SOA last night, maybe you’re not selling a counter culture. Maybe you’re just selling pop culture.

Biker Groups play at being Santa

Biker Claus: Groups exchange sleighs for motorcycles to bring gifts to needy children

McKINNEY -- Conventional wisdom says Santa Claus rides a sleigh and leaves presents on Christmas Eve.

However, this Fourth of July, Santa will trade in his sleigh for a 2009 Harley Davidson Low Rider with a rubber-mounted twin-cam engine with 3,000 rpms of torque and chrome staggered shorty exhaust with dual mufflers.

The Dirty Bastards Motorcycle Club (DBMC), Bikers Against Road Rage (BARR) and the Guardians of Grace (GOG), the McKinney branch of the Christian Motorcyclists Association, are hosting the first-ever "Christmas in July." The clubs are collecting toys and goods for patients at a Plano children's hospital.

Collection boxes will be located at Fuzzy's Taco Shop, 3190 South Central Expressway, Suite 570, until July 4th. Collection boxes will also be placed at the parade, allowing for donations at the celebration.

The hospital is looking at different items based on age groups; the two groups with the greatest need are toddlers/infants and teenagers. For infants and toddlers, they are asking for children's books, baby toys, exersaucers, bumbo seats and plastic rattles. For teenagers, donations of art kits, clothing mirrors, bath products, journals and baseball caps would be appreciated.

Only new stuffed animals will be accepted due to infection control policies. Gift cards to Wal-Mart, Target and Toys"R"Us will also be accepted.

The DBMC got the idea for the event from one of the member's wives who made donations to hospitals' wish lists on a regular basis. She wanted to get the DBMC involved -- and the idea evolved into "Christmas in July."

Both groups will take part in McKinney's Hometown Fourth of July Parade, and immediately after the parade, the riders will pick up the donations from Fuzzy's Taco Shop and deliver them to the hospital in Plano.

"We are big on giving back to those who can't give back themselves," Shane LeClair, member of the DBMC, said.

LeClair said he and the DBMC hope to continue the Christmas tradition every summer.

"We would love to turn it into an annual event," LeClair said. "We would love to see it grow and have people participate."

"Christmas in July" allows the DBMC, BARR and the GOG to celebrate freedom through one big, caring gesture.

"The event is important because we are nothing if we aren't a community," GOG member Kirk Stephans said. "Freedom isn't free; we should lift each other up, both spiritually and physically. We want to foster community spirit through giving love."
