ABATE of Wisconsin was concerned about the number of motorcyclists injured by negligent motorists, and especially those injured by right of way violators. There was an inequity in the amount of punishment these violators faced, even for causing serious bodily injury or death. A remedy to this situation was attained through the passage of ACT 466, a comprehensive motorcycle legislation victory for ABATE that became effective June 12, 2006. Authored by then-Senator Dave Zien of Wisconsin, penalties for injuring a motorcyclist increased substantially including increased fines, mandatory traffic school, and automatic license suspension. Since passage of this legislation, it was learned that many traffic violations had their own definitions which excluded them from being included in the right of way ...

... Being an event photographer and working rallies and runs, part of my work is observing people. I think that is a big part of the draw to me. Watching the MCs in action, observing their rituals, taking it all in taught me a lot about the culture. You don’t hear the conversations, which is for the best, but you get the jest. You see the respect that is paid to the leaders. You learn how they protect each other, who is the watch man and who is the senior in the group. You see the place the women take. You see the disdain of civilians and hang arounds, with hang arounds rating slightly higher as they are a source ...

Hey, I’ll try this again. Don’t forget Daylight Savings Time and roll back your clocks. I rode my new/old Panhead again yesterday. Dr. Hamster picked up his rebuilt Pan engine from Bennett’s Performance yesterday and brought it to the shop. We’re getting close to starting to assemble this classic. I moved Frankie’s Dyna from the back lift to the lift I use for my bike builds. It’s wider and has better lighting. On Monday we will mount the new, beautiful Saddlemen seat, run new front, dual disc brake lines, and install the new Brass Balls Air Cleaner. I will work on a piece around the final assembly of my Pan next week and might even start the next Cantina Episode. ...

Hey, I’m watching a series of lecturers on inventions and it’s amazing. One of the first inventions was pottery, which led to the pottery wheel and to motorcycle wheels. Of course, one of the next major inventions was beer and wine. Had to have something to pour into the pottery. But there’s a fascinating one still not addressed in our society today. We can now document the history of the universe, but our sewer systems, which are still not available to 1/3 of the earth’s population (which means contamination and disease), is still not as good as the one established by the romans. So, what the fuck? They can regulate the hell out of us, when they should take a ...
