By Bandit | | General Posts
You've seen "General Hospital", read "Penthouse Letters", and listened to "Only The Shadow Knows", now comes "Bandit's Cantina" to the internet. Too terrible to mention in public, this prophetic drama takes you behind the scenes of a scurvy Mexican bar in the worst barrio in Los Angeles, San Pedro. A big Spanish building, it has never stayed in business for more that a couple of months, yet since it became a biker bar, money laundering, meth lab, it has been in business more than five years. The San Pedro District Attorney's office has been on the alert for any signs of mischief in order to eliminate the structure and all its inhabitants from the planet. They would prefer to bulldoze ...

Read More SLIPPERY WHEN WET: Belmont Shoreās Green Sharrows
By Bandit | | General Posts
When the “Green Sharrows”, or Shared Lane Markings, appeared on both sides of 2nd Street, I had concerns. First, it seemed dangerous to put bicycles smack into the heart of Belmont Shore congestion. Secondly, the six foot wide green paths looked slippery. It turns out that my first concern was proven wrong. Installed in June 2009, the green sharrows in the right lanes from Bay Shore Avenue to Livingston have seemingly reduced bicycle accidents. “Bike Long Beach” recently released traffic accident statistics between 2007 and 2013.Total crashes (car, bike and pedestrian) have fallen each year from 2009-2012. The number of accidents reported to police shows a high of 43 in 2009 versus 12 total in 2012. LINK TO FULL STORY

Read More Safety Recall For ā09-ā13 Kings Mountain-Designed Indian Motorcycles
By Bandit | | General Posts
Indian Motorcycle announced that some legacy generation, Kings Mountain-era Indian motorcycles of model years 2009-2013 have a defect related to motor vehicle safety. The affected motorcycles -- produced between December 10, 2008 and November 1, 2012 and designed by the previous owner of Indian Motorcycle, housed in Kings Mountain, North Carolina-- may have been assembled using a defective rear wheel rim. The rim may crack and cause a loss of air pressure. This could cause the vehicle operator to lose control, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
