Because Bikers should be entitled to see who's out to get 'em!
Some people just can't stand to see others be free. Others have put a price on your essential liberties and are more than willing to sell your rights to the highest bidder. There's only one sure cure for audacity, and I prescribe a healthy dose of shame and humility. We wouldn't need half the laws we have now if these shadow puppets thought they might be recognized in the grocery store. You know these people, they're the same ones who are always trying to get away with placing 20 items in the 10 items or less express lane at the local Kum & Go. They count on you not raising a fuss and because you're quiet about it, they get away with it. Why not? You had the chance to slap 'em in the head but you kept your mouth shut while they trampled on your manners. It's only about ego or money for these types....so it's high time they get proper credit for being so hell-bent to ruin the lives of others, destroy the fabric of OUR nation, and in the process take motorcyclists off America's roadways.
Welcome to splatt's shantytown of shame....put on your rubber soled hip wader boots and watch what you step in....


Carole Migden
Carole Migden (D) Senator from California's 3rd Senate District (San Francisco)

5/18/07 Terrible news for Carole! She votes to increase fines for talking on cell phones...then goes off and crashes her SUV into a car that's sitting at a stoplight..while talking on her cell phone! See, in a socialist society, laws don't apply to celebrities or lawmakers. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1837377/posts She was driving her new state-issued 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid SUV, which replaced her previous tax-payer funded 2005 Cadillac STS, which she cheated and swindled to get, after being denied.

She cuts a motorist off and cries, "I'm a SENATOR!" OK, you're a Senator....does that makes you special?
VIDEO: http://www.ktvu.com/video/13350688/index.html?taf=fran

Further investigation showed that during the 30 miles prior to the crash, approximately half a dozen drivers had called 911 to report Migden for reckless driving. They claimed that she had run them off the road, sideswiped the concrete center divider, and wasn't looking where she was driving. Some people have said that she was talking on her cell phone and reading while going 80 miles an hour on Interstate 80 in Fairfield.

After two drivers criticized Migden for her reckless driving, Migden allegedly responded, "You can't talk to me like that, I'm a state senator."

In 1996, Migden ran a stop sign by the State Capitol and crashed into a 1990 Dodge Spirit owned by Teresa Latham. Although the crash injured Latham and caused Latham's car to be totalled, Latham claimed that Migden did not seem to be concerned or sorry about having caused the crash.

01/10/06 Seen dancing about in the hallways of the capitol, taunting Bikers with a gesture to suggest, "gotta wear your helmets" while patting head in a cutesy little dance. Childish behavior becoming of a Senator.

08/31/05 Migden was caught "Ghost Voting" for her own bill as it was about to fail, in the ASSEMBLY. She hit the automated "YES" button of an opposing Republican Assemblymember, Guy Houston..

01/10/06 Migden KILLED "Jessica's Law" in committee. There's no other conclusion than to say that Migden sides with sex offenders.  She chairs the Committee on Public Safety and made SURE that registered child molesters are allowed to live near schools and parks. Jessica Lundsford's family has been adopted by Bikers from coast to coast. Bikers helped in the search to find her, and getting Jessica's Law passed in all 50 states is a priority to the Biker community.....Carole digs child molesters. .

Lisa Haneberg - Traitor to Bikerdom
A lot of out of control red-haired fascists at the top of the page, this week, eh?
Q. Can the human body truly produce pigmentation from this portion of the color spectrum? Is that really possible without a little Ronald McDonald in your DNA?

Our FIRST EVER motorcyclist inducted into the Shantytown of Shame!
Note: No, Buche doesn't count, nobody's ever seen him RIDE...(but I DO have a pic of him SITTING on a bike, surrounded by his hired guns, who don't ride, either)....he's just a prostitute for the industry, and nobody respects a whore. Sponsored by the industry or not...it doesn't change the look of the "glazed donut frosting" on his lips.

Why is Lisa decorating her new cardboard box in the Shantytown? Read HER version of how you should live your life, "No Helmet, No Ride": http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/gomoto/archives/118390.asp

I could rave for hours and hours, but it all comes down to this...
who died and made this bitch the head of Al Qaeda™?

Lisa dear...in a "free" society, you don't get to tell me how YOU think I should live my life. I already have a mother. You can apply to be my new "mutha"....but if you tell me how to live, then it stands to reason that I'm entitled to reciprocate in kind, and you wouldn't stand a chance living in MY aristocracy.....I mean....just look at you. Yeah, that's being mean, but I take my thinly veiled "liberties" seriously, and as much as you have a constitutionally guaranteed right to espouse your obvious stoopidity, I also have a "right" to shame you into submission. That's how it works. But then, you suffer the fool notion that you're actually in charge. Another Seattle Socialite, I mean, Socialist, hell-bent on taking down capitalism, all the while reaping the monetary benefits of free speech by writing silly little self help books, and buying all the name brand moto-goodies one can find. Sure can't find all that fancy moto-gear you use at the lowly Army Surplus store, huh, Lisa? Capitalism suits you...so why you wanna tear it all down? Aid and comfort to the enemy. Hmmm. Read all about Benedict Arnold and tell me you're any different: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedict_Arnold

You should re-christen "Hazel",  your bike, to a more fitting name like, "Vulture"...apropos of the ship that ferried away Benedict Arnold after having conspired to hand West Point to the British. To tell me how to live, and die...and then to utilize insurance industry data to substantiate your declaration as Queen of the Universe....only smacks of betrayal to a sport that you "claim" to embrace. I know you're a newbie, but you better shut up and observe for a while before you try and pull your Deepak Chopra act around here, you simply have no idea who's out to take motorcycles off the road, period...and you're actually HELPING them. Dork. (Whaling industry slang, implied) 

More to come...I just don't have time to deal with yet another Stalin, right now....there are actually REAL issues to fix in Bikerdom...this chick's just another artificially-inflated-ego-driven-carbon-copy-self-help-opportunist-moron who's let it all go to her head.  George Harrison said it best: "The more I learn, the less I know" .....if only some people knew when to quit and leave good Americans alone to live out their pathetic little lives to their own, albeit faulted, destiny. Freedom ain't free, but what would Lisa Haneberg know about freedom? A bank account has been set up at Bank of America, in Lisa's name, to collect donations for bus fare to Cuba. Yes...I said - BUS.

Dick Floyd (D) Father of CA's Helmet Law, Former California Assemblymember

Inglewood, CA .... Assemblyman Dick Floyd has been soundly defeated in his bid to be the Democrat candidate for the for state's twenty-fifth district Senate seat. Floyd has been term-limited out of his seat in the Assembly and ran against Assemblyman Edward Vincent in the California Democrat primary Tuesday (Mar. 7) for a chance to run for the state Senate. ABATE of California can take pride in their successful effort to remove Mr. Floyd from California politics. Floyd was renowned for his foul-mouthed responses to constituents and outrageous histrionics in the Assembly which included false claims regarding the public burden of non-helmeted motorcyclists.Dick Floyd Campaign Mailer

Dick Floyd was the primary sponsor of the current California helmet law. Over the course of his political career, in his capacity as Assemblyman and recently as a candidate, Mr. Floyd has portrayed motorcyclists as people to be feared and despised. He is one of those individuals who would prefer to see motorcycles banned completely. Mr. Vincent credits campaign work by members of ABATE of CA as a key element in his primary victory.

"Putting people like Dick Floyd back in the private sector is a service to motorcyclists everywhere," proclaimed Steve Zimmer, MRF Vice-President of Government Relations. Zimmer continued, "The MRF congratulates ABATE and California motorcyclists on this tremendous win. Their efforts within the democratic process are a lesson to us all --- that the system can work and truth can be restored."

Frank Lautenberg (D) United States Senator for New Jersey.

This guy is taking plays right out of the Gleichschaltung playbook; ban everything associated with individualism, take your guns, take your bikes, make him Dictator. 

In 2005, Senator Lautenberg tried to amend TEA-LU to deny federal highway funds to states that refused to adopt mandatory helmet legislation for motorcycle riders. In other words, BLACKMAIL. Motorcyclists throughout the nation rallied together and soundly defeated the measure.

In 2006, he drafted a letter to all the Governors in the nation, informing them that HE is in charge of getting all motorcyclists off the road by mandating helmet requirements, little by little, piece by piece in every state, and if they needed help, to contact his "Senior Transportation Council", David Matsuda for information on getting his Nazi-like agenda passed. PHONE: 202-224-3224. EMAIL: david_matsuda@lautenberg.senate.gov

Jenny Oropeza (D) California Assemblywoman District 55.

"If you want to talk about FREEDOM OF CHOICE, I don't know how much I care, one way or the other." Chuckle. 4/24/06, Assembly Transportation Committee hearing on freedom of choice for adult motorcyclists. This quote from the National Organization for Women's "Legislator of the Year." If only they knew how two faced she really was before they gave her the certificate for her fridge.

The critics rave; "Zero stars! Hubris, much like that of the Ozark Mountains." ~splatt

Dr. Jeffrey Runge-Former Head of NHTSA
Emergency-room physician from Charlotte
, NC.

At the Lifesavers Conference (Safety-Nazis on Steroids with too much time on their hands) in 2005, Dr. Runge fired the first volley, declaring about motorcyclists; "They are the scourge on our highway."  "They are an epidemic."   "They continue to clog the trauma centers of America." Safety Awards Luncheon at the annual Lifesavers Convention in Charlotte, NC - March 14, 2005

In a 2004 speech to the Automotive News World Congress, Runge expressed dismay at the number of older Americans who are taking up motorcycling: "Riding a motorcycle requires judgment, coordination and balance," Runge said. "Those are not the things you can learn at 45 to 50 years old, which is when many people are buying motorcycles."

Other disparaging statements have been made, if you've got the quotes, please send to: CLICK HERE

The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) has announced Dr. Jeffrey Runge will be leaving the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to take a position as Chief Medical Officer for the Department of Homeland Security where he will coordinate the department’s response to biological and other catastrophic attacks.

Tim Buche-President of 1.Motorcycle Safety Foundation, 2.Motorcycle Industry Council, 3.ATV Safety Institute

Sheesh....where do I begin with this guy. Believe me, there is a MAJOR slam piece underway for this fella, including how to write to the industry that pays him, to oust the most controversial stick in the spokes of cycling since Dick Floyd.

Mark McBride-Former Mayor, Myrtle Beach, SC

Mayor McBride (No relation to Mayor McCheese) was driving behind a motorcyclist sporting a T-shirt slogan he considered offensive. "It was very tempting to kind of nudge the guy on the bike"  (WITH HIS CAR) McBride was quoted as saying by the Sun News.  McBride repeated the same sentiment later in the week while appearing in a candidates forum organized by a local motorcyclist rights group. 

McBride once asked the National Guard to patrol a motorcycle event attended mostly by black motorcyclists.

SIDENOTE. McBride was defeated in the 2005 election by 600 votes. I'd like to think the Bikers of SC helped push this moron out the door....but I'm sure he'll weasel his way back into public service as most of these leeches can't survive in the private sector.

Marquez Ologbosele - Ex College Football Player
Runs Over Biker, Kicks & Beats Biker, Throws Biker in Ditch to Die

This incident of road rage occurred near Fremont, CA back in October 2006~the basics of that situation were: a biker (a Vietnam Vet) sitting at a stop light sharing lanes between cars, proceeded on the green when the vehicle next to him rammed into the back of his bike, in an act of road rage over lane sharing.

The rider apparently kicked the vehicle in frustration. When the rider pulled to the side of the road to check damage, the driver followed. The rider approached the driver, and the guy literally unfolded from
the seat (almost 7' tall, and close to 350+ pounds! ~no joke!) The driver grabbed the rider over the door, and beat the guy to the ground, where he proceeded to kick the rider violently in the face numerous times. Adding insult to injury, the driver then picked the injured rider up and threw him into a roadside ditch, then left the scene.

The rider's injuries were severe ~ he had 2 emergency surgeries to repair damage to his face, and immense medical bills.

Thankfully, there were plenty of witnesses to the incident, who wrote the guys license plate down, and provided a physical description to police. The story made it to the news, and within a day or two, the "suspect" turned himself into police.

When the media first got hold of the story, they made a big deal about the incident, but not in the way you'd expect of such a violent crime. They portrayed the rider as being "at fault" because he was "illegally splitting lanes"! (which was a misrepresentation of the facts) As if by doing so, he deserved to be rammed, beaten, and tossed into a roadside
ditch. I couldn't imagine anyone blaming a pedestrian for being run over while crossing the crosswalk, or even a bicyclist being blamed for being hit while riding in a bike lane, but the media clearly has a slant here and it can't be dismissed. It's called bias, prejudice, blaming the victim, and as most of us are aware, it is prevalent against motorcyclists.

You'd think this was a clear-cut case, with all the witnesses to the ramming and beating of the rider, coupled with the fact the driver left the scene. HOWEVER, a group of us (3 from ABATE Local #14) attended the hearings, and you would not believe the final outcome of this proceeding....

Ologbosele was charged with misdemeanor assault, ordered to 6 months of community service (which could be completed on the weekends), and to pay restitution for the riders medical bills. That's it! Not even an anger management counseling order!

MUCH THANKS to our friend, Bear, an ABATE of California member who attended the trial with other riders and took the time to share this chilling account of road rage with the riding community.
