February 8 2010 Ashville
N.C. A Harley Seized in Drug Raid will Become Part of
Sheriff Jimmy Ashe's Department. The Sheriff's Office got the
motorcycle on May 5, 2008, from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco
Firearms and Explosives after a federal judge ordered that it be
forfeited. The bike had belonged to a Jackson County resident who
pleaded guilty in 2006 to selling methamphetamine. The department
said it would put the motorcycle into “official use,” but did
not elaborate on the form. The bike had 7,434 miles on it when ATF
transferred it to the Sheriff's Office, according to a title filed
with the N.C. Department of Motor Vehicles. Federal rules
for seized vehicles say the local agency must use them for “a
law enforcement purpose for at least two years following
transfer” or get special approval from the U.S. Department of
Justice's Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section.

FL. Motorcyclist Killed A
42-year-old motorcycle rider was killed in a one-vehicle wreck
in North Naples late Saturday — the third person to be killed
on Southwest Florida roads within a 24-hour period. Around 11
p.m., Anthony S. Taylor of Naples was driving a 1996 Harley
Davidson east on Nighthawk Drive approaching the end of the
road, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report. Due to his
speed, reports said, Taylor applied the brakes and lost control
of the bike, causing it to overturn on its left side and slide
about 45 feet. The Harley then struck a curb with its front
wheel, flew into the air and hit a palm tree, ejecting Taylor,
reports said. The bike overturned a few more times before coming
to rest on the shoulder. Taylor, who was wearing a helmet, was
transported to Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers, where he was
pronounced dead. Tests to determine if the crash was
alcohol-related are pending, according to a report.

like women. Even -- or perhaps especially -- if it means pink
chaps and orange bandanas. "Everything has evolved away from
black," said Christy Koethe, an avid motorcyclist from
Cottage Grove. "The girls want a lot more colors. It's all
over the color spectrum: whites, blues, pinks, greens, purples. We
can even buy pink leather if we like."That has helped make
motorcycle shops a lot more vibrant visually, with splashy
head-to-toe apparel and even the bikes themselves in brighter
hues. Women make about 12 percent of U.S. motorcycle purchases,

— A Lake Worth man is charged in a Tuesday afternoon hit-and-run
crash in Boynton Beach that left a motorcyclist clinging to life.
Sergio Herrera-Pena, 32, is charged with failing to remain at the
scene of a crash and driving with a suspended license. Witnesses
said Herrera-Pena's car turned in front of Williams' motorcycle as
it headed west, causing it to go down. Herrera-Pena admitted he
cut in front of the motorcycle and said he felt the impact but
kept driving. He said he stopped a block away and called his
girlfriend to say he'd been in a wreck.
Former Polk deputy sentenced to probation, must
make restitution
A former Polk County deputy & 17-year law enforcement
veteran who pleaded guilty to mail fraud in November was
sentenced to five years of probation in federal court Thursday.
According to information previously presented in court: In 2008,
Kenneth Lane Gravett, 43 fell behind
on his loan payments for a Harley
Davidson motorcycle and falsely
reported to the bike stolen from his garage.
Gravett reportedly used the insurance proceeds to pay off the
delinquent loan and on Dec. 4, 2008, another co-conspirator sold
the motorcycle to an FBI informant for $1,500. He then reported
the theft to his insurance carrier American Modern Select
Insurance Company, mailing the fraudulent police report to the
company, reportedly in order to obtain funds to pay off the
motorcycle. Gravett was ordered to pay back $12,517.02 and was
ordered to immediately pay a special assessment of $100 to the
government. JudgeVining said if he could not pay the total
amount to the insurance company for the fraudulent claim, he
would have to pay it back in installments of $300 a month. With
his family sitting behind him, Gravett apologized to the court
for his crime and admitted his wrong doings. The conditions of
Gravett’s probation confine him to his home with exception to
work, visiting a doctor, school, religious services, visiting
his lawyer or making a court appearance. Gravett, who his lawyer
said was also an avid hunter, was also advised he was not
allowed to own or use firearms because is a felony for convicted
felons to possess firearms.
LINCOLN, Neb.
— It looks like a BIG NO to Nebraska motorcyclists going
helmet-free! The culprit was Insurance companies worried
about an increase in head injuries. A proposal to increase
Insurance on Helmetless riders proved unworkable and the state
Legislature voted to postpone consideration of the bill. Bikers
have been required to wear helmets for the past 20 years in the
"Corn Husker State" and if Big Insurance lobbies get
their way it will be forever. Some legislators described the
proposals that scuttled the bill as sloppy, with one even scolding
fellow lawmakers for not doing their homework.

February 3 2010 South Carolina's The
state Supreme Court is hearing arguments involving the validity
of a law passed by the City of Myrtle Beach over whether a city
can require motorcycle riders to wear helmets despite the lack
of a state law requiring the practice.City officials have passed several laws designed to get rid
of Motorcyclists who attend two bike rallies held there each
year. The Harley-Davidson spring rally and the Atlantic Beach
Bikefest.State law doesn't
require riders 21 years and older to wear helmets.
Justices are hearing a challenge from a man who received a
ticket in Myrtle Beach for not wearing a motorcycle helmet. He
and a pro-bike rally business group say the city's policy
violates state law.

UPDATE TO STORY DIRECTLY
BELOW: The Lee County Sheriff's Office has named a person of
interest in Sunday's deadly crash that killed a motorcyclist on
Interstate 75 in Lee County. Investigators believe that accident
may have started with an exchange of gunfire. Ernesto Diaz, 28,
last known address 718 SW 34th Street in Cape Coral, is wanted for
questioning. Diaz may be driving a black Ford F-150 pickup truck
with tinted windows and a shattered back window.
Gunfire on I-75 Causes DEATH OF A
MOTORCYCLIST NAPLES FL. A fatal accident on Interstate
75 on Sunday may have started with an exchange of gunfire between
two vehicles, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. The
southbound lanes of I-75 were closed for hours and a manhunt began
after two armed men fled the scene. The crash occurred just before
5 p.m. near mile-marker 140 in Lee County. The crash involved a
red Chevrolet Blazer, a Honda motorcycle and a silver Toyota car.
The motorcyclist, 62-year-old Michael B. Hall of Fort Myers, was
pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities received several reports
that two men were seen fleeing from the red SUV armed with
handguns. They were last seen running west behind Fox Electronics
in the nearby industrial park. Deputies searched for five hours
without locating the suspects. Prior to the crash, the sheriff’s
office received a report of two vehicles involved where gunfire
was exchanged near Bayshore Road in North Fort Myers. One of the
vehicles was similar in description to the SUV which crashed on
the interstate. Preliminary crash details
indicate the red Blazer was southbound on the interstate when it
left the roadway into the grass, re-entered the highway striking
the Honda motorcycle and a silver Toyota passenger car. The
Blazer, again, left the roadway and rolled over multiple times.
One of the male occupants of the Blazer was airlifted to the
trauma center at Lee Memorial Hospital where he remains in
critical condition.Descriptions of
the two men who fled the SUV were one white or light skinned
Hispanic male and the other a Hispanic male, both with dark
clothing.

A RAT'S TALE: If the very
idea of cleaning your bike gives you the spooks and you'd rather
drink a bottle of spray polish than actually apply it, there's a
club of quacks that would love to have you. The trend of
deliberately customizing bikes to look as if they've been left in
a ditch for decades isn't hugely popular in the U.S., but overseas
the Europeans love their rat bikes and spare no glimpse of sanity
in accomplishing their apocalyptic visions. Though purposely
making a bike look "ratty" might seem a bit contrary to
the rat purists' ideals that the bikes should evolve into horrible
heaps naturally, we didn't bother with such theories and gathered
a selection of some of the gnarliest specimens on the road. Many
rat bikes began their (second) life as salvage crashed bikes.
Although based on a similar notion as the streetfighter (though
much more radical in its approach), the basic idea for this type
of custom motorcycle is to build a truly individual bike. Where
the rat factor comes in is that the rides are created from the
leftovers of our "throw-away" society. Building a unique
bike that gives the highway salute to the expectations and
conventions of the consumerist mainstream is at the heart of the
rat-bike culture--not just thinking it's a good time to ride shit
bikes. The build themes tend to be as black as the plague and the
rodent that's blamed for spreading it. Oftentimes there are actual
specimens of the Rattus Rattus on many of the machines.

January 29 2010 Asswipe kills
Biker Road-rage case proceeds as a homicide!
When Sean M. Cheese appears in court today for a motions hearing,
he will do so facing amended charges of vehicular homicide after
the death of Donald E. Mills Jr. earlier this month. Cheese, 30,
is accused of driving an RV that struck Mills on July 19 as he was
sitting on his parked motorcycle on the shoulder of U.S. Highway
287 just north of Fort Collins. According to investigators with
the Colorado State Patrol, Cheese was involved in a road-rage
incident, possibly with a silver Hummer H2 with Wyoming license
plates, and veered off the side of the highway and collided with
Mills. Cheese's attorney Stu Van Meveren said his client said he
was forced off the road. According to Mills'
riding partner, Mills was parked on the side of the highway,
waiting for her to adjust a loose strap on her motorcycle. Mills
was airlifted to Medical Center of the Rockies, and for months, he
was in critical condition. He was eventually listed as being in a
state of low-level consciousness before his New Year's Day death
as a result of his injuries. READ

Motorcyclists may go topless in Nebraska: LINCOLN
- Thanks to a change of heart by one lawmaker, it appears the
Nebraska Legislature will once again debate a bill to repeal the
state's motorcycle helmet law. It would be the first such debate
since 2008 and the first since term limits brought a more
conservative bent to the 49-member body. "Are we excited?
Yes. Are we optimistic? Yes," said Scott Lucey of Omaha,
legislative officer for a leading helmet-repeal group, ABATE
(American Bikers Aiming Toward Education) of Nebraska.
A helmet repeal bill, introduced last year, faced a 4-4 deadlock
in the Transportation and Telecommunications Committee.
But on Tuesday, State Sen. Charlie Janssen of Fremont, the bill's
sponsor, was able to persuade Sen. Leroy Louden of Ellsworth to
switch his vote. His change of heart gives Legislative Bill 200 a
4-3 majority in the committee. Sen. Scott Lautenbaugh of Omaha,
who was absent and is a past supporter of the bill, said in a
telephone interview that he will provide the necessary fifth vote
today to advance the bill.
Under an amendment proposed by Janssen, only those 21 and
older would be permitted to ride without helmets. The bill as now
written allows a helmet exemption for young riders who pass a
safety class.
