BIKERNET DRIVING LESSONS–During my friends funeral an asshole decided he was too good to go to the next exit on the freeway and tried to cut through the front of the bikes with his new suburban. Needless to say it did not come out very well for him. The guys at the front of the pack, where it all occurred, laughed about how he was on his cell phone trying to call the police. Hell, the police were the escorts and saw what happened. I heard one the motor officers mention how it did not seem like the best decision on that guys part, to try and cut through a line of Bandidos and a funeral.

Stupid people everywhere!

HOLLYWIERD RUMOR–Just heard an unconfirmed rumor through my publishing grape vine that a former editor from EZ Rider just sold an option on three books to Hollywierd. If true, congrats man. I just hope you have a better agent than me. My deal is still in limbo with Wm. Morris and ass…ociates

Ya never know what could happen next.

WORKER DEAD AT DESK FOR 5 DAYS– (New York Times)Bosses of a publishing firm are trying to work out why no one noticed that one of their employees had been sitting dead at his desk for FIVE DAYS before anyone asked if he was feeling okay.

George Turklebaum, 51, who had been employed as a proof-reader at a New York firm for 30 years, had a heart attack in the open-plan office he shared with 23 other workers. He quietly passed away on Monday, but nobody noticed until Saturday morning when an office cleaner asked why he was still working during the weekend. His boss Elliot Wachiaski said: “George was always the first guy in each morning and the last to leave at night, so no one found it unusual that he was in the same position all that time and didn’t say anything. He was always absorbed in his work and kept to himself.”

A post mortem examination revealed that he had been dead for five days after suffering a coronary. Ironically, George was proofreading manuscripts of medical textbooks when he died. You may want to give your co-workers a nudge occasionally.

Moral of the story: Don’t work too hard. Nobody notices anyway.

MAILMAN’S RUN TO MILWAUKEE–Mailman’s trip was stopped instantly in Kittering, Maine on Saturday, Aug23rd at 12:30 pm EST by a 19 year old $%^&* (girl) that pulled out in frontof him, while he was going 35 mph. He was hollering names at her before heleft the bike.

He’s ok, although he said this morning he has a foot-sized bruise on hisleft hip. His left wrist also hurts bad. He was on a small two laneroad when she pulled out, and his bike hit her front fender. He said it wasfortunate she was still moving, as his bike turned and jack-knifed thetrailer and he held onto the handlebars long enough to bend them upwards.

He flew off, and rolled on the pavement. Luckily, two paramedics werewitnesses to the accident and she was insured, as is Mailman. This is thebeginning of the second year he’s insured our bikes and he’s certainly gladfor that.

He refused medical help because he didn’t want to leave his bike and trailerwith strangers. He cut his nose from his glasses, and oddly enough theyweren’t broken, just bent, and it’s a good thing because he didn’t have asecond pair.

So he rented a U-Haul truck for $750 to Wisconsin as they said it would be threeweeks to repair locally. Today he called from Pinesville,Wisconsin, just 15-18 miles north of Milwaukee at Suburban Harley Davidson.One of the guys there, he thinks a manager named Ron, he didn’t remember hisname, knows someone at a local trailer park and set him up, even thoughit was full. He’ll have a few days with the U-Haul, but he’ll rent a carfor the rally. He’s too sore to ride, but figures he’ll mend while the bikedoes the same.

BTW, was watching “COPS” and they were in San Pedro. Recognized a couple ofthe streets! “The Harbor area is a rough place where lots of criminalsare”, they said. “People get mugged right out on the streets.”

Still in all, wish I could take a trip there again.
