The Oconaluftee Cherokee of the Great Smoky Mountains were the most conservative and isolated from white American civilization. They rejected the reforms of the Cherokee Nation. When the Cherokee government ceded all territory east of the Little Tennessee River to North Carolina in 1819, they withdrew from the Nation. William Holland Thomas, a white store owner and state legislator from Jackson County, North Carolina, helped over 600 Cherokee from Qualla Town obtain North Carolina citizenship, which exempted them from forced removal. Over 400 Cherokee either hid from Federal troops in the remote Snowbird Mountains, under the leadership of Tsali or belonged to the former Valley Towns area around the Cheoah River who negotiated with the state government to stay in North Carolina. An additional 400 Cherokee stayed on reserves in Southeast Tennessee, North Georgia, and Northeast Alabama, as citizens of their respective states. They were mostly mixed-race and Cherokee women married to white men. Together, these groups were the ancestors of what is now known as the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
Indian Joes friends !
Things ya see on a road trip ??
History has given Bowser credit for inventing the gas pump, but what Bowser tried to invent was a better way to pump water from a well. His invention wasn’t strong enough to draw water from such a depth, but when applied to shorter distances it was a success. Bowser applied his principles to small pumps that were badly needed in country stores and anywhere that kerosene was sold. This was during a time when very little gasoline was being used, as the automobile had still not been invented. The 1892 introduction of the Durea automobile and the growing popularity of automobiles brought changes to the pump industry. As gasoline sales increased following the turn of the century, Bowser built a gas pump for general stores. Bowser grew rapidly and became a very large corporation with branches all over the world. Bowser also diversified, making hundreds of products besides gas pumps. At the end of World War II, Bowser found itself in financial trouble and began offering gas pumps at lower prices.

THE VIDEO COMPETITION IS TO CONTINUE.
The overwhelming majority of community members who have responded to my recent video and who I have personally been in contact with or spoken to agree the Cruiser Custom Video Competition should continue. I want to thank every one of you for your input. Some of you have very legitimate concerns. Hopefully what we have come up with answers to some of those concerns. And I am extremely happy to continue as your coordinator. But as with all things there can be improvement. I have listened to your suggestions, discussed it with Kyle in a marathon SKYPE typing session and this is what we have come up with.
THEMES
We have tried to choose themes submitted by you the members of the community. If your suggestion was not chosen, I apologize. There just is not room for all. Maybe if this competition is successful and has plenty of entries Kyle may consider keeping it going.
You must not upload the next month’s video until I have announced the competition open. Any entries submitted prior to this announcement will not be eligible to be voted on.
SEPTEMBER: Tips for weekends away or long rides AND/OR Favorite road to ride
OCTOBER: Basic maintenance tips of your bike. AND/OR. An Instructional video any installs. Step by step installation Videos

DECEMBER: How you got your community name (humorous, make us laugh). AND/OR Kyle impersonator
JANUARY: Unconventional and inexpensive modifications that you have made to suit your bike for less than $30.00. AND/OR. Modifications that you've made on your bike that makes it special no matter what they cost.
Folks remember that the competition is for fun not the prizes you may win. They are a bonus. It helps those new to riding motorcycles better understand their machines. It gives us all the opportunity to take the piss out of each other in a good natured way. And as I stated to a good friend of mine in Canada the other day, it is a great opportunity to meet and get to know people from all over the world. You may never know when you want a bed in a foreign country. LOL
The September Competition is now Open. Good luck everyone. The comp will close 30 September.
Well Bernbo finally finished his 60 hr's community work, and then that bugger has the balls to, ahh just watch and see.
