This came out of the Blue. I always enjoy crafty words from Krylon John, or Crazy John, or John Gilbert. John wrote for Easyriders, Bikernet, Street Choppers, Hot Bike. He edited magazines for Paisano, Truck Book for Primedia, and was sued because his dog bit a cable guy. He almost lost his home, and the guy was told not to come into his back yard. So, I was honored when he wrote this review about my Terry the Tramp book, and we immediately published it: http://www.bikernet.com/pages/BIKERNET_BOOK_REVIEW_Terry_The_Tramp.aspx

The bill soared through both chambers this afternoon.

The Motorcycle Riders Foundation has worked closely with the primary authors of the legislation to ensure that this bill was all pro-motorcycle and had no anti-motorcycling issues. The bill continues the grant program ...
