SUNDAY POST–TROUBLE AT EASYRIDERS AGAIN
I have a tough time with news from Easyriders. I have always had high hopes for that company, even when I didn’t agree with the direction. I’ll keep the report short and directed only to our esteemed Cantina Crowd.

It’s been a strange weekend. I’m never the type to lay around unless there’s someone soft sharing that time with me. Then we’re not laying around, but this weekend has been a lazy fuck’s dream. I hardly got moving before noon yesterday. Layla, Tracy and I have had the headquarters to ourselves. The blond bailed for the weekend reducing the stress level.

I’m working with a couple of publishers on my books and met a significant deadline with my agent. Now it’s a waiting game that’s pushed bricking the back yard to the back burner. Even the 1920 H-D engine waiting to be built into our headquarters fountain is collecting rust this weekend. Think I’ll ride to Walkers and check the action. Let’s get to the news:

EASYRIDERS SUES THEIR OWN CONTRIBUTORS

According to our contact the Bankruptcy court is suing writers and photographers who continued to work for the ER titles during the bankruptcy process. To people who took severe cuts in pay and the amount of work available was reduced, this was quite a shock. Joe Teresi, the current owner of the company, after the stockholders were toasted and employee stock options destroyed, now demands that he own all rights to all photography that is submitted. That’s not a popular request under today’s photo use laws, especially if the publisher pays bottom dollar for rights. He wants to own all rights so that as he sells titles to other publishers there are no encumbrances. He gets all the money, no body else has a right to a dime. We’ll see what happens next.

Confederation Of Clubs Unity

Here’s a partial shot of some of the clubs who met last month and discussed issues between clubs and legal issues with AIM attorneys. The Confederation was Richard Lester’s brain storm and a good one it was for all the patches world wide.

Filipino Chewing Gum

A Filipino is enjoying a hearty breakfast of coffee, croissants, toast, butter & jam, etc. when an American, chewing gum, sits next to him and starts an unwanted conversation…

American: “You Filipinos eat the whole bread?”

Filipino: “Of course.”

American (blowing bubble with his gum): “We don’t. In the States, we only eat the inside. The crusts we collect in a container,?recycle, re-bake them into croissants and sell them to the Philippines.”

American: “D’ya eat jam with the bread?”

Filipino: “Of course.”

American (chuckling and crackling his gum between his teeth): “We don’t. In the States we eat fruit for breakfast, put all the peels, seeds and leftovers into containers, recycle them into jam and sell it to the Philippines”

Filipino: “Do you have sex in America?”

American: “Of course we do.”

Filipino: “And what do you do with the condoms after?”

American: “Throw them away of course.”

Filipino: “In the Philippines, we don’t. We put them in a container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum and sell them to America.”

Who knows

BIKERNET Southern Connection

Sherry and?I thought we’d take a short ride to find some breakfast. You know ride for a bit turn around and head home. Wellll, we found the “tail of the dragon”. It is the hot Local Johnnie speed racer road. I found this 60 miles south of my house. It’s right on the edge of the Smokey mountain national park. Very near to the Blue Ridge Parkway (top ten Motorcycle road- according to most journalists). While I haven’t gotten on the Blue Ridge Parkway but I did do the Dragon and came home over the Cherohala Skyway. All within a span of three hours.The day totally blew me away. And the best part is its in my back yard.

Check out the website www.tailofthedragon.com. It is very well done and worth reading.

This is freaky…you have to do this!

I thought you might find this site interesting. You can check to see if the FBI has ever had a file on you. I was shocked to see that there was a file on me.

Do not use your Social Security Number. Just check your state, and put in your name, if a match is found they will ask for a year of birth to narrow the search. You will get the case number, date of investigation and any photos on file.

It’s a free site, but it is expected to be closed soon due to a federal court order: http://www.policeguide.com/cgi-bin/criminal-search

Let’s Hit Da Road

It’s Sunday for god sake. Let’s shut down the computers, roll up our sleeves and head to the garage. I detailed the VL the Friday for the auction block, gave phone tech to Richard Kransler as he dialed in his new 123-inch Shovelhead and kicked it to life. Last night I looked for a full bottle of Jack. Mine’s empty.

Let’s go for a ride–Bandit.
