MONTREAL – The name of a founding member of the Hells Angels in Canada has appeared on a new tombstone showcasing the logo of the outlaw biker gang at a parish cemetery on Montreal’s South Shore. On Thursday afternoon, a worker engraved the name Normand Labelle “Billy” on the large, black tombstone in St-Basile-le-Grand, Que., along with the dates 1955 to 2025. The tombstone caused embarrassment to the local Roman Catholic diocese when its appearance made headlines earlier this week. It bears the words “Hells Angels South,” framing the biker gang’s winged skull logo.  The St-Jean-Longueuil diocese said Tuesday it was “scandalized” by the tombstone, which it said should never have been approved. The diocese has promised that the logo and text will be removed.  But the tombstone itself will be allowed to stay in the cemetery, where it now bears the name of a Hells Angels veteran.  According to court documents, Normand Labelle was a founding member of the Montreal chapter of the Hells Angels, the gang’s first Canadian chapter, which appeared in 1977. He left to form the gang’s South Shore chapter in 1997.  Continue Reading Power & Betrayal-Outlaw Motorcycle Club Life By James Hollywood Macecari Camshaft Clyde: Winterizing Your Motorcycle: A Comprehensive Guide to Off-Season Protection Life Lessons From an Oregon Motorcycle Adventure Name of founding Hells Angels member appears on Montreal-area tombstone You might have seen motorcycle clubs before but not like this.

In a high desert ecosystem like Eastern Oregon, rain is your best friend — until it’s not. Shaped by the rain shadow of the Cascades, little to no precipitation falls in the desert for months at a time, reducing the vegetation to sagebrush and grasses and the soils to a silty and sandy mix. Wildlife is sparse and human development even more so. You can easily ride a hundred miles without seeing another soul. Storms, most common in the winter, are a necessary ingredient for good motorcycling conditions, transforming the soft ground into a tacky surface that is trustworthy at speed. However, with too much rain, the surface evolves into a clay-like adhesive that can cake a tire in seconds, creating almost zero friction between rubber and road — a dangerous ice rink effect. Therein comes the rub. As we flew by Wagontire Mountain, halfway between the small outpost of Burns and the even smaller hamlet of Christmas Valley, the rain picked up and the invisible threshold was crossed. Unknowingly, I pulled my front brake a little too hard on a downhill corner, triggering the front tire to wash out and throwing me sideways off the bike. A small mistake with potentially huge consequences.

By Camshaft Clyde As the crisp autumn air gives way to the chill of winter, motorcycle enthusiasts face a bittersweet reality: it’s time to tuck away their trusty steeds until spring’s thaw. Winterizing your motorcycle isn’t just a chore—it’s an essential ritual that safeguards your investment, prevents costly repairs, and ensures your bike roars back to life come riding season. Neglecting this process can lead to issues like seized engines, cracked batteries, or rusted components, turning a simple storage stint into a mechanic’s nightmare. With proper care, however, your motorcycle can emerge from hibernation as good as new, ready for those first warm-mile jaunts. This guide walks you through a step-by-step winterization process, tailored for riders of all experience levels. Whether you’re storing a sleek sportbike in a garage or a rugged cruiser under a tarp, these tips will help you do it right. Expect to spend a few hours over a weekend, armed with basic tools like wrenches, a torque wrench, cleaning supplies, and a stable storage spot. Let’s dive in and get your bike winter-ready. Step 1: Thorough Cleaning – The Foundation of Protection Before anything else, give your motorcycle a deep clean. Dirt, grime, and road salt from the season’s rides can accelerate corrosion if left unchecked. Start by washing the exterior with a motorcycle-specific soap and a soft brush to avoid scratching paint. Pay extra attention to the undercarriage, wheels, and exhaust—areas prone to buildup. Rinse thoroughly and dry with compressed air or microfiber towels to prevent water spots. Once dry, apply a protective wax to the frame, tank, and chrome accents. For leather seats and saddles, use a conditioner to combat drying from cold, low-humidity storage. Don’t forget the chain: Degrease it with a chain cleaner, then inspect for wear. A clean bike not only looks sharp but also makes subsequent inspections easier. This step alone can add years to your bike’s cosmetic life, warding off the dull patina of neglect. Step 2: Engine Maintenance – Keep the Heart Beating Strong The engine is the soul of your motorcycle, and winter demands TLC to avoid seized pistons or gummed-up internals. Begin with an oil change using a high-quality synthetic oil rated for cold starts—something like 10W-40 that flows well in low temps. Warm up the bike first for a proper drain, then replace the filter. Torque everything to spec to prevent leaks. Next, tackle the coolant (If motorcycle comes with it). Flush and refill with a 50/50 antifreeze-water mix if your bike has a liquid-cooled engine. For air-cooled models, ensure fins are dust-free to promote airflow during any surprise winter spins. Check spark plugs for fouling; replace if needed. A quick compression test can reveal hidden issues early. Power & Betrayal-Outlaw Motorcycle Club Life By James Hollywood Macecari Fuel system care is non-negotiable. Ethanol-blended gas attracts moisture, leading to phase separation and corrosion. Add a fuel stabilizer like STA-BIL to the tank, run the engine for 10 minutes to circulate it, then top off the tank to minimize condensation. Alternatively, drain the tank and lines completely, removing the fuel petcock for storage. This prevents varnished carbs or injectors come spring. Pro tip: Label your fuel can if you’re saving it—nothing kills motivation like stale gas. Step 3: Battery and Electrical System – Avoid the Dead Start Surprise Batteries hate the cold; they lose up to 60% capacity below freezing, and prolonged disuse leads to sulfation. Disconnect the negative terminal first to prevent shorts, then remove the battery entirely for indoor storage. Clean terminals with a baking soda solution and wire brush, then apply dielectric grease. Store the battery on a trickle charger or smart maintainer—devices like the Battery Tender keep it topped off without overcharging. If removal isn’t feasible, use a solar maintainer positioned in sunlight. Inspect wiring for frays or corrosion, and tape exposed ends. LED lights and accessories? Cover switches to deter dust. A healthy electrical system means no frantic jump-starts in April. Tires deserve attention too. Inflate to the max sidewall pressure (check your manual) to minimize flat spots from weight distribution. If possible, elevate the bike on a stand to relieve tire pressure entirely—paddock stands work wonders. Check tread depth and sidewall cracks; rotate if uneven wear shows. Stored tires can dry-rot, so this prep ensures safe, grippy returns. Step 4: Fluids, Suspension, and Drivetrain – Seal the Deal Brake fluid is hygroscopic, absorbing moisture that boils under heat or freezes in cold. Flush and replace with fresh DOT 4 or 5.1 fluid, bleeding lines meticulously. Inspect pads and rotors for wear—replace if thickness is below spec. Suspension? Clean forks and shocks, then apply silicone spray to seals. For chain-driven bikes, clean and lube the chain one last time, adjusting tension to manual specs. Belt drives need a wipe-down and tension check. Belts and cables (throttle, clutch) should be lubered lightly to prevent binding. Cover exposed metal with a corrosion inhibitor spray like ACF-50. If your bike has air filters, swap to a clean one or spray with filter oil. These small acts fortify against rust and seizing, common winter villains. Step 5: Secure Storage – The Final Fortress Location is key: A dry, temperature-stable garage or shed is ideal, away from direct sunlight or freezing floors. Use a breathable motorcycle cover to shield from dust and critters—avoid plastic tarps that trap moisture. Elevate on a stand if space allows, and place moisture absorbers like DampRid packets nearby. Rodent deterrence? Mothballs or peppermint oil-soaked cotton balls work, but ultrasonic repellers are humane and effective. Document your bike’s state with photos for insurance or resale. Finally, start the engine monthly for a brief idle (if stored with fuel) to circulate fluids—15 minutes suffices. Spring Awakening: Tips for a Smooth Return Winterizing done right sets the stage for effortless revival. In spring, reverse the process: Reinstall the battery, check fluids, lower tires, and take a short shakedown ride. Listen for odd noises and scan for leaks. Your proactive winter efforts will pay dividends in reliability and joy. Winterizing isn’t glamorous, but it’s the mark of a true rider—caring for the machine that carries your adventures. Invest the time now, and ride worry-free later. Safe storage, and here’s to melting roads ahead!

Multiple outlets report that investor and CEO James Fishback is prepared to launch a gubernatorial campaign in the Sunshine State this week. Fishback, the CEO of an investment firm called Azoria, is reportedly aligned with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. DeSantis is term-limited and cannot seek re-election. Fishback’s candidacy will set up a clash with Trump-endorsed Byron Donalds. “I’ve heard from Floridians across the state who are hungry for a leader who will build on Governor DeSantis’ historic record and make it easier to buy a home, raise a family, and retire with dignity,” Fishback wrote in a message posted to X. “They want a candidate who will work hard to earn their vote and trust just as President Trump did when he won Florida by 1.5 million votes last year. Byron Donalds is a good man, but he has done nothing in 8 months to show that he can lead a state that my family has known for four generations,” Fishback continued. “I have made my decision, and I will be making a formal announcement very soon,” he concluded. https://t.co/bHHWXXJbDH pic.twitter.com/IVArRrIGnA — James Fishback (@j_fishback) November 11, 2025 The National News Desk noted: He is also the founder of “Incubate Debate” which hosts free high school debate tournaments. President Donald Trump has already endorsed Florida GOP Rep. Byron Donalds to run for governor of Florida. Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis has not gotten behind Donalds, saying that it’s because he hasn’t been part of any victories in Florida these past few years, according to local media. America First candidate James Fishback will "imminently" announce candidacy for Governor of Florida. Fishback says he wants to prioritize the revival of Christian values in Florida, protect workers, ban H-1B visas, and revitalize homeownership for Floridians. Follow: @AFpost pic.twitter.com/JAf1HpzA4c — AF Post (@AFpost) November 11, 2025 Fishback said he accepted an invitation to debate Donalds on Newsmax this week. “NEWSMAX has graciously invited @ByronDonalds and me to a live TV debate in primetime this Thursday or Friday. I accept. Let’s debate our policy visions for Florida, and let the voters decide who their next Governor should be,” Fishback said.

He also has signaled an allegiance to Gov. Ron DeSantis, who will wrap his second term next year and cannot run again because of term limits. “Gov. Ron DeSantis has a historic record I would be honored to preserve and build upon,” Fishback told Florida Politics. “I want to ensure every family in Florida can buy a home, obtain a good-paying job and retire with dignity.” The Madison Republican notably met recently with Lt. Gov. Jay Collins, a former state Senator many expected to launch his own campaign for Governor as soon as this week. Fishback has repeatedly called Collins a “patriot,” but also suggested Collins’ political moves won’t affect his own. But Fishback has been deeply critical of U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, who launched his campaign for Governor earlier this year. Most notably, Fishback has called on an end to the H-1B visa program, which allows foreign individuals to live in the U.S. legally to work in specialty occupations. That’s a system Donalds has said needs an “overhaul” but he has not called for its disposal. “I want to end and deport every H-1B,” he said. “If a job held by an H-1B foreigner could be filled by a Floridian, that upholds a slanderous lie, which is that Americans are lazy, unqualified and unskilled, and that’s nonsense.”

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) reportedly will be challenged in next year’s Democratic primary by a far-left New York city councilman. Despite objections from New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, City Councilman Chi Ossé is expected to launch a bid against Jeffries. “He said he wants to strike when the iron is hot,” one source told the New York Post. NEW: Chi Ossé, a far-left city councilman aligned with the policies of Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect of New York City, has told political allies that he is planning to challenge @RepJeffries, the top House Democrat, in next June’s primary. https://t.co/PrDE6WO1Rg — Ben Oreskes (@boreskes) November 10, 2025 More from the New York Post: The source said that Mamdani had told Osse that he didn’t want him to challenge Jeffries in the primary, believing it would disrupt the fragile peace between the far-left of the party and moderates. Mamdani worked for months to woo the establishment of the party to unite ahead of his mayoralship. “Strike while the iron is hot?” another insider complained, adding, “How about listen to the next mayor, who is the hottest thing in politics right now.” The second source confirmed Osse has already started hiring his staff to challenge the Brooklyn Democrat. The falling-out between Osse and Mamdani — two social-media-savvy pols — even kept Osse from attending the victory party follow the mayor-elect’s historic win last Tuesday night. Prior polling indicates the New York city councilman would have a hefty challenge unseating the House Democrat. Lefty Gen-Z NYC Councilman Chi Osse gears up for primary challenge against Hakeem Jeffries: sources https://t.co/5ZxPcYCNPE pic.twitter.com/vLjP9ODkOD — New York Post (@nypost) November 9, 2025 City & State New York shared: Internal polling shows that Jeffries is well-liked in his congressional district, and that Ossé is still pretty unknown – despite his social media virality. According to the poll, 74% of voters approve of the job Jeffries is doing, 69% view him favorably and 69% said they would “probably” or “definitely” vote to reelect him. In a head-to-head matchup, the poll found that 72% would vote for Jeffries, while 21% would vote for Ossé. But Ossé has room to grow. Half of voters polled said they had never heard of him. The poll was shared with City & State on the condition that we not name the entity that commissioned it. It was conducted by public opinion researcher Nancy Zdunkewicz’s firm Z to A Research, which specializes in text and online polling. It included 371 registered Democrats who are likely to vote in the 2026 midterms and was taken between Sept. 15 and 20. It has a margin of error of 5 points. It was not intended to be public. The results were broken down into two scenarios: a “typical turnout scenario,” in which 65% of voters surveyed were over 50, and a “surge turnout scenario” with more younger and “progressive” voters. Ossé, who recently joined the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, fared slightly better in the surge scenario, narrowing Jeffries’ lead to 41 points. Axios reported last week that Ossé has had conversations about primarying Jeffries, but the Gen-Z City Council member denied he’s planning to run, telling the outlet in a text: “All I have to say is that it would take a very dire situation in order for me to even consider spending the rest of my 20s in dc.”
