Some motorcycle service shops seem to be confused. They're not sure if they want to sell and service motorcycles or be a retail shop for shirts and souvenirs. There's no doubt about what's going on at Reinhardt's Motorcycles in Lutz, this is a 100% motorcycle service shop. Instead of boutique racks loaded with shirts and merchandise; all you'll find hanging on the walls here are parts, tires, and more parts. Reinhardt Gotz learned the art of building and repairing automobiles and motorcycles as a youngster while working in the family business his father and grandfather owned in Reidenburg Germany. The experience allowed him to eventually become a licensed mechanic and open his own shop but the call of the "American Dream" was strong and in 1987 he moved to the United States. One of his first jobs he landed after arriving was at Cahill Yamaha. He worked there for about two years until a bike that he had built was entered in the Custom Chrome bike show during Bike Week in Daytona and caught the eye of JT and Laura of Fletcher's Harley-Davidson. An inventation to stop by and talk turned into a fourteen year career. He then spent 2 1/2 years at Gulf Coast Harley-Davidson in New Port Richey before opening his own shop in May of 2009. Business has been steadily growing with a mix of old time bikers who appreciates his mechanical skills and many new customers who are searching for a qualified service shop. His choice of location was done because he felt that area was under serviced. The shop is in a small complex of repair shops and assorted businesses on Dale Mabry Highway, just south of the US 41 apex. Reinhardt likes to think in old school terms and his shop is a throwback to the days when you knew the mechanic who was working on your bike. Here that person is Reinhardt, a Certified Master Technician and the shop owner, not some nameless dude in the back that you never get to speak with. Got a question about your bike? Reinhardt will give you a personal explanation. The shop has the ability to work on many different kinds of bikes, including some of the older models. If you're bike is totally dead and you've got no way to get it in for service, Reinhardt's can arrange for pickup and delivery of your bike. As business has improved, Reinhardt has also increased his visibility in the motorcycle community and he's recently become involved withe the weekly Thursday night bike nights at the Tilted Kilt in Carrollwood at 14457 N. Dale Mabry. If you can't make it by the shop during the day, he invites you to stop by and see him at the Tilted Kilt.For more info, visit the shop or the website at www.reinhardtsmotorcycles.com
VETERAN'S NEWS
Woodson: Vigilance is Vital to Combat Troop, Veteran SuicideBy Karen ParrishAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 20, 2012 – The ongoing battle against service member and veteran suicide requires community, commitment, and attention to three critical areas, a senior Defense Department official said here today.
Addressing attendees at the annual DOD and Department of Veterans Affairs suicide prevention conference, Dr. Jonathan Woodson, assistant secretary of defense for health affairs and director of the TRICARE Management Activity, acknowledged that suicide is a “very, very tough problem.”
The conference, which began today and ends June 22, drew hundreds of health care providers, researchers, and others from what Woodson called a broad community of people from government and private industry working to understand and defeat the occurrence of suicide in the ranks and among the nation’s military veterans.
Woodson said employing vigilance, reducing stigma and sharing success stories are essential to the struggle to end suicide.
Though friends, families, and leaders at all levels have been mobilized to be aware of the issue of suicide, Woodson said, all must remain dedicated to understand how to “prevent our friends and fellows from taking their own lives.”
“Vigilance cannot be over-emphasized, because we know that suicide is often an impulsive act in the face of life stressors,” Woodson noted.
People need to know what to look out for, where to get help, and how to direct those in need to access that help, he said.
“We do know something about prevention, and we need to be relentless in sharing what we know,” Woodson added.
Woodson recommended that military leaders strive to establish a positive command climate and foster a sense of trust in their units. Those actions, he said, will build a foundation for a unit that responds to individual needs.
“Be a visible and regular presence,” Woodson urged. Indicators of potential suicide, which include alcohol or illegal drug abuse, criminal behavior and misuse of prescription drugs, should be triggers for action, he said.
Woodson said eliminating the stigmas service members may perceive as being attached to seeking mental health care is “the most critical breakthrough” that can happen.
“We need to do more,” he said. “The benefits of being able to counsel someone freely, in confidence, about the challenges that life has presented are incalculable.”
Leaders must be particularly careful about responding angrily to a service member who is struggling, he said.
“One of our jobs [as leaders] in this cauldron is to help lower the temperature,” Woodson noted. There are teaching moments -- not lecture moments -- present in every life crisis situation, he said. Speaking up and offering the right guidance at those moments, he added, can save a life.
It’s also important to share victories and success stories, Woodson told conference attendees.
“We need to repeat what we know, in formal and informal settings,” he said. “We need to share stories … where awareness and intervention changed the direction of an individual who was [traveling] down the wrong and tragic pathway.”
The military and veteran communities must make greater strides in assisting individuals who need help before a suicide occurs, Woodson said.
“We can usually see the complications and the stressors of a person at risk,” he said. The goal, he added, is to get better at intervention “before a tragedy occurs.”
No matter how good she looks right now,somebody, some where is tired of putting
up with her shit.
