Herding the Sheep for Slaughter

Herding the sheep for slaughter

You will comply.

Buck up or cave in.

Motorcyclists Rights Organizations are woefully under funded and the future of their potential activities is growing.

Quit giving to the damned charities that lobby you as a motorcyclist into compliance. Quit giving to charities that slice up the pie for themselves and pass on the crumbs to the needy.

Quit listening to the rhetoric of all politicians that have betrayed you and this country.

Quit listening to corporations that have betrayed this country.

North Carolina legislature is forcing compliance upon motorcyclists.

Georgia is forcing compliance upon motorcyclists.

Florida is now making it easy to just seize our property and ban us from the highways and byways of their communities.

Take back this country, take back your state, take back your town, take back your family or take back your bike and quit riding like a future statistic.

It is time to put an absolute end to these interlopers. It is time to put an end to those that run us over and claim they donʼt see us.

They sure as hell see us when they want to interfere with our lives.

We do not need to offer any leeway to those that wish a North American Union nor a World government as proposed by NATO nor compliance to any World Health Organization.

Time to Stand Up or Shut Up.

Don't tell me about all the good you are doing for this cause or that cause. I really don't give a shit if you are letting the government slowly and methodically remove motorcycles from the roads.

Don't tell me about your ride for tits or your ride for tots or your pseudo macho brushes with death because you were drinking or stunting.

You are a fool if you think I give two hoots in hell about your escapades in Sturgis, Hollister, Daytona or any other rally for dollars.

The only way that you are going to "Ride your own Ride" is to stand up right now, today, and do something about it.Add to Technorati Favorites

Aye, It's a fine day to celebrate it is.

A few days back we posted how our little bloggy thing here had received hits from countries we had never even heard of and could not pronounce and cried in our cups as we had not yet received a hit from my ancestral home of IRELAND. Well excuse me a moment while I dance a jig cause yesterday it happened. WE GOT THE HIT FROM IRELAND!!!

I knew it would happen though. Ya see the part of story I ain't told is that back in my shop I gots this wee little walkin stick hangin up on my wall with leather bras, whips and other items that led one to declare my shop a place of evil in need of being burnt down. What that individual was unaware of is that everything in that shop has a story behind it.

That little walking stick I ripped off from one of the "wee little people." Wee little people don't likes it when ya rips off there walkin sticks. They don't let things like that go and sooner or later they have to come back and get it. And when this one does, the pot of gold will be mine it will.

So now that I know that this wee little ones frustration at my possession of his walkin stick has forced him out of hiding I can ready my traps. Come on little people, it's party time (they just can't resist a good party).Add to Technorati Favorites

Elephants trample biker to death

31 Dec 07

According to police reports, two men from Burma's Karen ethnic group were riding a motorcycle near the southern beach resort of Hua Hin yesterda (Sunday)
when they came across the elephants blocking the road. They tried to go around the herd, but an elephant charged the motorcycle and they crashed into a ditch. The herd then trampled the two men.

Police said that the 19-year-old motorcyclist escaped with injuries and managed to hide in a bush until local villagers rescued him, the pillion later died of head injuries and broken bones.

NOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD THE ABOVE HAPPENED IN AMERICA?

Accident Investigators would have immediately tried to pin the blame on the motorcyclist.

All the news reports would mention whether or not the motorcyclist was wearing a helmet.

News media would have given precedence over the injury status of the Elephant.

The Elephant would not be charged.

NHTSA would do a study on Elephant/motorcycle collisions and determine that elephant avoidance classes should be mandated for all motorcyclists.

NHTSA would then enlist the NTSB to demand that states require the classes

The states would take it further and mandate that all bikers must wear Elephant repellant spray

Local SMRO's would immediately access state monies to put up bill boards that say, "Look Twice Elephants are everywhere"

Riders under 21 would have to stick an elephant decal on their fender so police would know they have taken the elephant avoidance course.

Insurance companies would get in on the deal requiring all motorcyclists to carry and Elephant collision rider.

Politicians will cave into demands by PETA that Elephants be protected from motorcyclists.

Corporate greed will prevail and Elephant whistles will outsell deer whistles

Because if there is a constant in the Universe it is this. Whatever the incident. Bikers will get the shaft!Add to Technorati Favorites

Hmmm now ain't this interesting- UK Bikers are safer?

Add to Technorati FavoritesGOVT SURVEY SHOWS BIKING IS SAFER
02 January 2008

The latest government survey on motorcycle use and accident rates in the UK has revealed that biking is becoming safer, as motorcycle use ( measured in miles covered ) has risen by 37% over the last decade, with a much smaller increase in the overall number of accidents.

Despite these facts, most mainstream press coverage on the report has been negative, concentrating on the risky behaviour of a hardcore element of middle-aged `born again' riders, who generally ride large capacity sportbikes at weekends.

The Compendium of Motorcycle Statistics, released by the Department of Transport in December 2007, shows that motorcycle traffic logged on main roads in the UK by cameras, and manned traffic counting points, rose by 37% from 1996-2006. The rise is 37% overall, with a peak in 2003 and a slight decline in 2006.

However, the DoT state that motorcycle use at weekends is not logged by cameras or human traffic counts at all, and there are just two traffic monitoring cameras operating in National Park areas, where many leisure bikers tend to travel.

It is likely that motorcycle use overall has increased by more than the 37% quoted in the report - but nobody knows for sure, because there is no accurate counting of vehicle journeys overall in the UK.

Georgia Denying tags for CUstom Bikes? Whose next?

HENRY COUNTY, Ga. (FOX 5) – Thousands of owners of custom motorcycles could soon find their bikes ruled illegal. Changes in federal emissions rules have state officials denying tags and titles for one-of-a-kind bikes.

When Donny Fincher bought his custom bike from a friend, getting it tagged and titled was simply a routine task, or so he thought.

"Beyond frustration, words can't even come to mind," said Fincher.

Fincher said his local tag office refused paperwork for the bike and insisted that under new 2008 federal safety and emissions rules, the bike wasn't legal even though the bike had been registered by the prior owner for several years.

"This is America, land of the free, home of the brave, what happened to that?" asked Fincher.

Fincher now calls his bike a $40,000 paperweight and he's not alone.

Motorcycle enthusiasts say thousands of custom bike owners will be affected unless the state laws are changed to exempt the bikes.

"Very soon, it's going to really hit the fan. Already in the past three weeks, our phones have been ringing off the hook," said Randy Snyder, editor of Full Throttle Magazine.

Snyder, along with others, plan to push the state to change its laws and exempt custom bikes or kit bikes and cars.

"Hopefully, they are going to take another look at it and realize they made a mistake," said Snyder.

A spokesperson for the Georgia Department of Revenue said, "We are looking for a reasonable solution that accommodates existing laws to find a way to title and register these vehicles. However, new legislation will be required."

"I'm not giving up, and even if I don't get a tag and the bike is going to sit in this garage and I'll get it out every so often and I'll ride it," said Fincher.

Among other things, state leaders said they were concerned that stolen parts could be used in some of the custom bikes.

The legislature is expected to take up the issue when it convenes next month.
