By making appearances at several national and regional rallies throughout the year the group intends to bring as much attention to both this movement and their products as is possible.

 Also at the top of their goals is to take the whole motorcycle culture a step back to a more basic time. With a large amount of respect for the history that it has, they hope that by focusing on the riding and adventure, self expression and freedoms that have always been inseparable from the culture that they may influence the direction of where it goes next.

David Uhl & MeanStreet Riders - Daytona Bike Week 2010

Saturday, Feb. 27, 2010 - Temperatures at Daytona Bike Week were in the 40s this morning, with a light rain due to pass by late morning. But tomorrow will be a sunny day and a good riding day with temperatures in the 60s -- possibly a good day for the Meanstreet Riders to visit Harley-Davidson commissioned artist, David Uhl, who is painting in front of Destination Daytona.

The MeanStreet Riders' song “ High on the Hog” from their upcoming album was featured on a video created by Uhl to introduce his latest painting in the "Women of Harley" series - "Stella." 

So, enjoy a listen and watch the latest Uhl painting come to life before your eyes.

Go here to purchase "High On The Hog"


INTRODUCING STELLA - There's a new girl in town

Uhl Studios

The MeanStreet Riders are still finishing up their LP and video for early summer, but they are at Daytona Bike Week and a few of the riders are expected to come by and say hello to David Uhl.

Born in a small fishing village in Michigan, David Uhl earned a scholarship to attend the Colorado Institute of Art. An avid Harley owner since 1988, Uhl's passion would soon coincide with his artistic talent. Harley-Davidson Motor Company executives recognized David's creative talents and introduced him to Segal Fine Art, a licensed publisher of Harley-Davidson fine art.
 
David spends endless hours in the Harley-Davidson Archives researching vintage photos to use as reference for his official fine art paintings. Captivated by the extraordinary history of the Motor Company, David's desire is to memorialize the legacy.


The MeanStreet Riders music group was formed in the fall of 2008 when a group of songwriters from NW Florida spent 4 days in NC riding some of the worlds most challenging and dangerous roads.


The members of the Rock band include Shannon Wallace, Dowlin Mayfield, Blair Colson and Tommy Dawson.

Ride for Kids Supported by Honda and BMW Raises $4.4 Million - 2010 Nationwide Calendar Announced

The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation’s  Ride for Kids® program raised $4.4 million in 2009, thanks to Honda and BMW dealership fundraisers, and motorcyclists who participated in rides across the USA.

The PBTF is the official charity of the Honda Riders Club of America (HRCA), which has been the presenting sponsor of Ride for Kids® since 1991. Thanks to the significant support of American Honda Motor Company's motorcycle division, Honda dealers and other motorcycle industry companies, the program has raised millions of dollars for pediatric brain tumor research.

Cycle World Magazine and the Cycle World International Motorcycle Shows are also major supporters of the Ride for Kids®.

The 2010 National Ride for Kids® season kicked off with a Valentine's Day ride in South Florida. Three new events were added in 2009 and a new ride in Tulsa, Oklahoma is on the  Ride for Kids 2010 Calendar

“Motorcyclists are known for digging deep when it comes to helping kids, and they worked harder than ever to raise funds last year,” said Kyle Clack, national director of the Ride for Kids® program. “We’re confident that their dedication and hard work will pay off for the kids again in 2010.”


Top fundraisers for 2009 - Some familiar names again led the fundraising pack in 2009. The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (PBTF) salutes these hardworking contributors:
  • The customers of Nielsen Enterprises, a Honda dealer in Lake Villa, Ill., have consistently helped the dealership take the top motorcycle business spot for several years. They gave $126,857 to the PBTF at the 2009 Chicagoland Ride for Kids®.
  • The nation’s leading fundraising motorcycle club or chapter is also from the Chicagoland area. Wings Over the Prairie organized a gala silent auction that brought in $70,136 in donations.
  • Bob Henig of Jessup, Md., owner of Bob’s BMW, ran a second successful Ultimate Bike Raffle to benefit the PBTF. He personally raised $59,012 for the Baltimore-Washington Ride for Kids®.
