| Riding to the Florida Keys for my Brother's Wedding I had a great if not warm ride to the Florida Keys and back within the past week. The gas prices in the keys are very high. I've posted some photos and videos from the trip to share with my friends. On a more serious note it appears AAA has found a lackey to introduce an all rider helmet bill in SC. Apparently he is playing to the crybabies set upon killing bike week in Myrtle Beach. Granted I'm sure bribes from the insurance companies are another factor. By the way campaign donations are nothing more than legal bribes in my opinion. |

| Bikers, Civil Disobedience, and the Constitution First I will provide a little background information to put everything in perspective. This article is the result of a request from ABATE of WV to speak on the subject of civil disobedience at their legislative seminar. Many have asked me why I choose to ride without a helmet in helmet law states such as North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Tennessee. Others have asked how South Carolina bikers amended their helmet law to remove the artificial consequences for those over 21 years of age. It is my hope this article will help address and answer these questions ... Has McMaster Ended Charity Poker Runs? South Carolina State Attorney General Henry McMaster's ruling against poker runs maybe setting a trend. Recently Texas State Attorney Greg Abbott similarly ruled that a motorcycle poker run was illegal in Texas. These rulings prompt an important question; will organizers of charity poker runs for groups like the Children's Miracle Network potentially face criminal charges for organizing illegal lotteries ... City of Charleston Motorcycle Apartheid Once again Mayor Joe Riley and the City of Charleston are discriminating upon a minority. While Charleston suffers a severe lack of parking and major traffic congestion the city leaders choose to spit in the face of reason by discouraging the use of motorcycles. Worst still struggling college students feel the brunt of the intolerance most. Wednesday April 25, 2007 motorcyclists found notes on their motorcycles left by Republic Parking Systems ... A beginners View of Motorcycle Education of South Carolina My Name is Ralph Bell. I am a 42-year-old male. My motorcycle riding started when I purchased a used 2000 FLHRCI Road King on June 20, 2006 from a good friend of mine. I started out just riding around the neighborhood. As time went on I ventured out and tried to get a ride in everyday after work. I had tried the course at the Ballentine DMV but actually dropped the bike once. It was not until a ride back from Aiken that I decided to take a Midlands Technical College course. I had a rear tire blowout on I-26 ... The War of Attrition to Regain Our Liberties and Fighting the Helmet Law Sometimes it is more important to stand up and fight for your rights than if you win or lose individual battles. Old timers in the battle against North Carolina's helmet law told me they were impressed I was even able to get as far as I did in bringing my case through the court system. They also admonished me that I may never get the chance again and should savor this experience. Apparently they feel the state keeps a list of "trouble makers" in their database so when a tag number is entered in a computer the police officer knows whether or not to issue a helmet ticket. I can neither confirm nor deny this theory at this time. However when I ride in North Carolina I still decide and plenty of police officers have seen me do so yet none have made any effort to issue me another helmet ticket ... |

Kings Mountain Battlefield I took a side trip to the holiest of holy sites in the United States along my way home from the NCOM convention in Charlotte; I enjoyed a ride and chose not to wear a DOT helmet. While the choice was not without risk neither were the actions of the patriots at Kings Mountain. The blood of patriots and tories stained this battlefield and created our nation. One third of British army lead by Cornwallis was destroyed at Kings Mountain ...

Memorial Day on the Green River in WNC Members of ABATE of SC gathered at GRCMMCC near Saluda over the Memorial Day Weekend to celebrate another successful legislative session. Other local pals dropped by to paddle or grill out. I tried out my new waterproof camera; why the camera proved to be waterproof, many shots were later found to be blurry or out of focus. However the video function worked better than expected. The upper and lower sections of the green were run over ... |
