No not these guys. I was takin the chill off by looking at a few photos from Daytona last Bike Week. Dontcha love it? I'm talking about Richard Quigly (aka "Quig") who looks like has single handedly brought the California helmet law down. His methods have ticked every other Freedom Fighting organization off to the extent that ABATE of California at one time disassociated themselves from him. But through persistence and balls he has beat ticket after ticket until now it is before the California Supreme Court and everyones best guess is, HE IS GOING TO WIN. Even ABATE is back on board for him and has established a fund to help him continue his fight as have other organizations. There is a fund raising benefit and celebration of what will prob. be his last Birthday tomorrow. Problem is, Quig is dying of "lymphoma" (cancer) and may not live to see his victory. For more on Quigly and how you can help, check out his full story on the link to Mad Ray's Motorcyclists Against Dumb Drivers. Also Check out the link to BOLT to see where some of the old time ABATE members went and a little history. While everybody has been tuning in to the flash and glitz of OCC and Jesse James, one man has been out there "doing it" it for us, not the fame. Thats rare now days. rc
