Welcome to 2015 !

Travel Bollox ! Choice ? what Choice but to drive.

Having convinced myself not to do my usual drive up to Yorkshire thru the night Boxing day as the train is easier (but extortionately more expensive!) It looks like I am forced by the train operators to get a refund and drive after all !
What a bunch of tossers the public transport companies are in this country !

where are the Ho Ho Ho's

Merry Xmas  and a prosperous New Year

God bless Hammerite Paint

Such a wide variation on prices ....well worth shopping around if you can . (Jeez do ya remember when "shopping around" meant trudging the streets or endless phone calls rather than as now just clicking away in your armchair ? )
Best Price ?  your local Wickes  £ 7.59

Lying bastard politicians !

If I were to lie in a court of law, I would go to jail. But it's entirely legal for an MP to lie to Parliament. Doesn't sound right, does it?

Foxes hate bikers too !

About 1 month ago whilst covering my motorcycle for the night I was bitten by a fox hiding behind the bike.! had the tetanus, and the anti biotics etc from the hospital.
The amazing thing was that the fox did not run off after biting my hand but actually came round the bike and stood looking at me , edging forward  towards me as if to say " come on then ! you want some ? ! lol he did run off when iI moved suddenly .
Then about a week later , again while manoeuvering my bike to cover it for the night i turned and saw the fox standing there .

A week later I saw a mate who parks his bikes in the street across the road from our house. When I told him about the fox biting me, he told me he had problems a few days before with probably the same fox. He was sat working on his bike with tools etc laid out on the pavement. He noticed the fox edging towards where he was working .he noticed it was edging forward and then suddenly ran up to his tools, stole one of the oily rags and ran off into the bushes.
yesterday evening , still in daylight , as I rode my motorcycle onto the pavement to cover it for the night , the fox suddenly appeared on the pavement about 30 ft away, running towards me . it started to run at me and i jumped off and placed the bike between  myself and the fox  The fox still, kept coming and tried to get round the bike to me . I shouted at the fox and eventually managed to somehow get it to back off. The fox backed itself away into the middle of the road and away into the bushes from where it came ....Freaky !

about 2 hours later i could hear my friend arrive on his bike. as i looked out of the window I saw the fox emerge from the bushes and run towards him. The biker saw it and seemed to be as amazed as I had been , The fox ran up to him but got a swift boot from the bikers steel boot. lol

I havent noticed if the fox has a bushy tail but I guarantee if that fox attacks me again I will have my lump hammer ready
If the coat is good there will be some nice skin to work with .

Biker protection - clubs move into Ferguson

More than a week after police shot and killed an unarmed teenager, sparking racial tension and unrest. riders from motorcycle clubs have arrived in Ferguson, Missouri, in an effort to protect stores against looters and join in peaceful rallies,

Some of the bikers are reportedly from the Outcast MC, which touts itself as America's oldest, all-black motorcycle club. It was founded in Detroit in 1969, but has chapters across the country. 

Outcast members joined bikers from another club, Dominant Breed, in the St. Louis suburb over the weekend. While their goal is to show support and keep the peace, one rider told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the clubs have no official plan to protect the city. 

 

.

"But normally when they see our presence [troublemakers] don't come around much," the biker told the newspaper.

The bikers were also spotted at a memorial site for the slain teen, Michael Brown, 18.

Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson acknowledged the bikers at a news conference on Saturday.

"There was a motorcycle group out here who walked up and said, 'You tell us what time,'" Johnson said, referring to the curfew that authorities implemented in Ferguson.

Journalists and protesters shared snapshots of the bikers, clad in signature black jackets and skull masks, on social media.

They joined students, families, churches and members of groups including Amnesty International and even the Black Panther Party, who have joined in the rallies. Many are protesting excessive police force and the lack of public information related to Brown's case.

Brown was killed on Aug. 9 as he and a friend were walking home from a convenience store. Police identified Darren Wilson, the officer who shot Brown, six days later. Circumstances surrounding Brown's death are still unclear.

Bulldog is back !

The Sound of motorcycle exhaust pipes fading into the Stratford countryside marks the end of the 2014 Bulldog Bash weekend.
The sound bite for the show this year was " fight for your right to party......and party we did .

The dark skies have opened up and .......well who GAF ! We came we saw we partied .
Bikers are resilient folk and  a downpour merely inconveniences us .

" Better than farmyard " was one opinion from an experienced bike festival fan but for whom this was a first bulldog .

The new " re- invented " bulldog is by anyone's reckoning  a resounding success. Walking round the campsite on Friday and Saturday hearing experienced bulldogers chatting amongst themselves and to myself when asked  it became obvious that the return after a years break with its return to the original bulldog ethos pleased most people . " a proper biker festival" was just about the crux of it.
Ok so there were a few things from old bulldog evolution that we would liked to have seen .
Cash tills on site would have helped everyone out , as would some stalls selling basics such as milk, bread etc, services such as   bikini bike wash, and the wet t shirt contests ?

But all in all a great show/festival and most certainly  back with a vengeance .

Respect to the Hells Angels MC for make it real again .

What is that sound I hear ?   oh , it is the worlds smallest violin . It is playing a sorrowful tune for the Police who sat on their fat arses, on overtime, with nothing to do all weekend.
Or to the traffic cops sitting with their Bikes and speed guns round one of the corners waiting for us terrible law breaking Bikers racing up to beautiful Stratford.
And thanks to the brotherhood that exists between bikers that meant within a few minutes of them sitting there everyone at the Bash knew and was alerted. Thanks for remembering to "flash"  oncoming bikes after you pass these cops lying in wait.
And Thanks to the cops sitting in the lay-by across from the Bash in unmarked cars - for being so obvious.
NB: several of these "thank you's" are tongue in cheek and may be interpreted as "F**k You's !

                                                          F**K The Police !

Harley Davidson - Or Indian ? ?

Omg WTF ! yep just when everyone else starts to bring production home , Harley started to outsource and is learning the hard way !
Supply problems led to delays and sales themselves are down on the predicted figures. Analysts have said the weaker-than-expected sales were due to these  delays in new models hitting the showrooms. read more

Obviously pure coincidence ! ? ?

Of course the  police action in the previous posting has nothing to do with the impending influx of  bikers to the area for the  Bulldog Bash ! You just gotta credit the man for his transparency . FTP.

Crackdown on dangerous bikers......

......in Broadway

POLICE will be cracking down on motorcyclists speeding and driving dangerously in Broadway on Sunday.
West Mercia Police have teamed up with the Safer Roads Partnership and Warwickshire Police to run the joint operation on the A44, as well as the A46 in Salford Priors in Warwickshire, this weekend.
Motorcyclists are often reported racing in the two areas and officers will be carrying out highly-visible patrols in the area in an effort to stamp out the nuisance.
Specialist units involving motorcycle police, speed enforcement officers and the Operational Patrol Unit (OPU) team will be involved in the initiative which is being carried out on Sunday 20th July and will continue over the summer months around other operational commitments.
The aim  is to provide a highly visible deterrent to speeding motorists and motorcyclists as well as cracking down on inappropriate riding and nuisance offences such as noise. Activity will focus on the A44 in Broadway and the A46 at Salford Priors.

“This action is also being taken in support of people living around the areas who have complained through their safer neighbourhood team or parish council about the noise and high speeds of the machines involved,” he said.
“We intend to continue with this initiative until the message gets through to the minority of motorists causing the problems that their activities will not be tolerated.”
Safer Roads Partnership communications manager Anna Higgins said both Worcestershire and Warwickshire are very popular with bikers but it was important they all stayed as safe as possible while on the road.
“Through local operations like this one, and by supporting the national Think Bike campaign, we aim to make motorcyclists more aware of the risks that are present when they are out on the roads and help us reduce the amount of collisions that take place,” she said.
“Bikers are also invited to brush up on their skills or gain more confidence on their bike by taking advantage of our Take Control motorcycle skills course.

Jamaica to decriminalise ganja

Jamaica's government is driving for a change in law to decriminalise possession on a small scale and to limit the punishments for larger drug use.
Justice minister Mark Golding said possession of up to two ounces (56 grams) of ganja would result in a fine instead of an arrest, while use of the drug for religious, medical or research purposes will be made legal.
Mr Golding said convictions for smoking spliffs were too strong with youths indulging in the illegal drug later denied jobs and visas because of their record.
"A criminal conviction and the attendant significant adverse long-term consequences are not justifiable for what is a relatively minor offence," Mr Golding said.
"The changes to the law contemplated are not novel," he added. "The decriminalisation of ganja in Jamaica has been the subject of considerable study and recommendations over the years."
The proposal for decriminalisation dated back to 1977 before the nation's National Commission on Ganja stepped up support for the move in 2001.
Approval of the government changes to the Dangerous Drugs Act will see Jamaica join Uruguay and the US states Colorado and Washington in recent moves to legalise the drug under limited circumstances.

Harley Police Bikes

Harley-Davidson, based in Milwaukee, delivered its first police motorcycle to the Detroit Police
Department in 1908, according to the company’s website. Today, officers in more than 3,400 police departments ride Harley-Davidson motorcycles in the United States alone.

That's a girls bike !

From highway to Hollywood, motorcycles and masculinity have been synonymous - until now.  

Harley-Davidson has now designed two new bikes specifically to appeal to women. Gone are the bulbous petrol tanks and the shiny chrome that makes the brand famous.  

Include smaller handle grips, lower seats and different foot peg positions. The result is what Harley executives are hoping will become the staple "little black number" in every woman's garage.  

The two models , the Street 500 and Street 750, the company's first new bikes for 13 years, are serious performance motorcycles which they hope will persuade even more women to ride its machines.  

Industry analysts say that Harley-Davidson's efforts will help the brand challenge its Japanese competitors, especially Kawasaki and Suzuki.

At the Harley Davidson Job Interview - "Fired "

Harley-Davidson employees, job candidate 'Army-crawl' to escape gunfire

I have often heard of having to "crawl" during a job interview but never "out" of one !
A story that while amusing could have had a tragic end . An out-of-town job candidate and two Harley-Davidson employees had to "Army-crawl" out of an interview after a bullet fired by a man at his ex-girlfriend shattered a third-floor conference room window at the company's corporate headquarters, according to a criminal complaint.
The bullet was among 10 to 15 shots from a semiautomatic handgun fired by Thomas B. Dright-Jackson, 34, May 22 in the 3400 block of W. Juneau Ave., according to the complaint.
Dright-Jackson is charged with first-degree reckless endangering safety, use of a dangerous weapon, and endangering safety by use of a dangerous weapon, discharge firearm into vehicle.
According to the complaint, numerous buildings were struck when Dright-Jackson stood in the middle of Juneau Ave. near a McDonald's restaurant and fired toward his ex-girlfriend and the SUV she jumped into before the driver sped away.
On the day of the shooting, the woman's father called and told her he had locked himself out of his house.
About 4 p.m., when a man identified as a family friend drove her to her father's home so she could let him in, she saw Dright-Jackson walking toward her from his car that was in the McDonald's parking lot.
Afraid, the woman ran into her father's house and locked the front door before hearing pounding on it.
Assuming Dright-Jackson was at the door, the woman waited between 10 and 20 minutes before leaving the residence and walking toward the friend's SUV. She then heard Dright-Jackson yell at her, turned and saw him pointing a gun at her and begin shooting.
The woman jumped into the SUV and heard bullets striking the vehicle as it sped away. A detective later determined the vehicle had been struck four times.
Meanwhile, one of the Harley-Davidson employees heard a quick succession of popping sounds, which he thought were fireworks. But when the window shattered he and the other two people in the conference room dropped to the floor and had to "Army-crawl" out of the room.
The employee then notified others and the building was placed on lock-down, according to the complaint.
When he was arrested the next day, Dright-Jackson said he was at home with his mother the previous day and denied being involved in any shooting.
His mother told police that she believed he had been in the front yard all day.

If convicted of both charges he could be sentenced to up to 27 and a half years in prison, according to the complaint.

Typical lack of respect !

 Respect to 81

In an unprecedented display of stupidity and  the steady gradual erosion of individual rights the US department of homeland security refused visas for  Friends Family and Associates to attend Cisco's Elliot Valderrama's Funeral.

This is not for national security.  This is simpily a violation of human rights.  There is no threat to anyone allowing them to attend this funeral.

Bike thieves in action !

A new Suzuki V-STROM DL650A3 being nicked/stolen from a private car park, with fence, gates and CCTV everywhere, and they managed to steal it in just over 1 minute. It was only 5 months old with 110 miles on the clock. It was a 2013 model. If you get offered a cheap one, be very wary and report it please. It was stolen from Tipton, West Midlands on the 24th November 2013.

Holy Davidson

I can't imagine why the Motorcycle manufacturer  thought to give the Pope a Harley last June ? 

A British Auction house has said that the  Harley-Davidson motorcycle which was given to Pope Francis by the manufacturer is to go on sale along with the popes Harley leather jacket next month in Paris.

The 1,585cc Dyna Super Glide was given to the pope in June to mark the 110th anniversary of the US motorbike maker.

The bike, which is signed by Pope Francis on the petrol tank, is expected to fetch between 12,000 euros and 15,000 euros ($16,400 and $20,500) when it goes on sale at the Grand Palais in Paris on February 6.

The pope donated the Harley in November to the Roman Catholic charity Caritas Roma and the funds from the sale will go towards the restoration of its Don Luigi di Liegro hostel and soup kitchen based at Rome's Termini railway station.

"We hope to be able to do both Pope Francis and Harley-Davidson proud by raising a significant amount of money for a very worthy cause."

Laughable :

It is reported that  

"Pope Francis, 77, is not thought to have ridden the Harley, a make well known for its use by motorbike gangs including the "Hells Angels"." lol

Out in Style and with Respect.

Hell's Angels bikers formed a guard of honour as Great Train Robber is laid to rest two weeks after his death at the age of 84.



GREAT Train Robber Ronnie Biggs, whose main crime was to have spent much of his life cocking a snook at the British authorities was given an appropriate send off on Friday (3.01.14)
When he was last seen in public, at the funeral of robbery mastermind Bruce Reynolds, Biggs stuck two fingers up at journalists.
Today, as the hearse carrying his coffin passed through the streets of north London, a white floral wreath in the shape of a two-fingered salute was visible alongside a Union flag and the flag of Brazil, the country where he spent many years as a fugitive from British justice.
Well-wishers gathered in the rain to watch the hearse depart. The coffin was surrounded by floral tributes and messages, and adorned with a red ribbon which read "Ronnie".
The funeral cortege, with a guard of honour formed by 13 Hell's Angels bikers, left the home of Biggs' son Michael and daughter-in-law Veronica in Barnet, north London, ahead of the service at Golders Green Crematorium, north London.
