lead cutie

Final Warning to watch Monster Garage on Monday, October 11th (next Monday, goddamnit), at 9:00 p.m. There’s a reason that I’m asking you to watch it. It’s a bike build in five days with me and a bunch of guys I know as the team. I want reports from as many viewers as possible since I’ll be hiding under the set during the showing. Makes me nervous.

Please extend a personal invitation to all the Hamsters to attend and thank those who have been so kind as to extend their condolences to Jacquie and the Mann family. I have learned that things work best when people work together. Thanks again for working with Jacquie, Huggy and I on this tribute.

MAN DISCOVERS GET DRUNK FREE CARD–LEBANON, Pa.- A man who posed as a state liquor control agent and received free whiskey and beer at a Pennsylvania tavern has been fined $450 and ordered to write letters apologizing to the bar owner and the state Liquor Control Board.

Police said Robert Magliochetti, 32, of Pottstown, admitted he threatened to card all the patrons and close down the End Zone Tavern unless he received free drinks.

Magliochetti was charged with impersonating a public servant, theft by extortion and disorderly conduct.

EXPANDED BIKETOBERFEST ONLY APPLIES TO SALES–DAYTONA BEACH — A few local residents pushing to extend Biketoberfest another six days to help repair the hurricane-battered economy were partially victorious Wednesday night.

Daytona Beach businesses citywide that already have retail licenses can now apply for permits to sell their wares outside for the six days before the Oct. 21 start of Biketoberfest, a majority of city commissioners decided.

“We didn’t get the whole pie, but we got a slice,” said Frank Heckman, chairman of the 1,200-member Beachside Neighborhood Watch.

Heckman and others had hoped all Biketoberfest activities could be expanded from Oct. 21-24 to Oct. 15-24.

“With two back-to-back hurricanes, the devastation has been on both sides of the river,” Heckman told commissioners. “I’ve seen many businesses that have had major disruptions. Many were without power, and their employees have been out of work for several weeks.”

The commission decision won’t expand any other aspects of Biketoberfest. Out-of-town vendors can’t start selling anything before Oct. 21, and other features of the fall motorcycle festival, such as bands playing outside, can’t be extended either, commissioners decided.

“I don’t believe this would be what people imagine it to be,” Guest said.

But two commissioners, Darlene Yordon and Gwen Azama-Edwards, still opposed the idea and voted against it in the 5-2 vote.

talking about doubling an event that generates noise and confusion.”

Commissioner Rick Shiver said he was originally opposed to any expansion of Biketoberfest activities. Then he started talking to people who are out of work because of the two recent hurricanes.

Bros Club

BROS CLUB INSURANCE PROGRAM–What makes BROS Club’s Biker Insurance program different than other programs such as Geico, Progressive or Daryland?

Price is one consideration, BROS Club will beat the others in about 73% of the cases. On top of that, they offer an option the others stumble over, “The Full Value Endorsement”. For riders with custom paint and accessories, this is a valuable point of difference.

Perhaps the most valuable aspect of the BROS Club insurance program is the fact that Motorcycles are their specialty. When claims happen, as they sometimes do, ask yourself one question, would you rather have a motorcycle specialist helping you to resolve your claim, or some auto or fire insurance claims adjuster… For an instant (no obligation) motorcycle insurance quote, click here and follow the link to insurance: www.brosclub.org

By the way, have you heard about the Emergency Roadside Assistance plan offered through BROS Club? The cost is $68.00 for a TWO YEAR membership. ANY motorcycle, ANY year, ANY make or model and this includes bikes with side cars and even trikes. BROS Club’s Motor Club is promoted by many custom bike builders and dealerships across the USA and Canada.
