Deals Gap Dragon TV

Nitro Circus - Weekly MTV by Travis Pastrana and Johnny Knoxville

Super Bikes!TM at Deals Gap - Sportbike circus on parade: 462 more turns per lap than the The Green Hell of Nurburgring in Germany. Hollywood paparazzi stalker and rookie biker host Rossi Morreale chickened out, or Style TV wouldn't let him fly out and play. Squid TV is actually quite educational when you pay attention. Episode 4 full length uncut. Co-hosted by pro squid rider Jason Britton featuring Sheriff McCoy Motorsports and Wheelers Performance Shop. Theme song "Lifestyles Embraced" by Destruments with J2, and wildstyle art by Andrew Jacob aka Soul Kontroll?

The Jason Britton Story - "I ruptured my brain sac!" No smell, no feeling. Titanium fused spine and neck terminates bike career?

The Energy Non-crisis - Lindsey Williams talks about his first hand knowledge of Alaskan oil reserves larger than any on Earth. And he talks about how the oil companies and U.S. government won't send it through the pipeline for U.S. citizens to use. Correctly predicted the price of oil to drop from $150/barrel to $40/barrel, as the Jews on Wall Street who set all oil prices intentionally put OPEC into bankruptcy for the New World Odor. Also predicts gas to rise to $10/gallon or more as hyperinflation kicks in at the end of 2009 or 2010.

Warning to Bikers at Deals Gap - THP makes alleged threat to arrest all bikers and steal their bikes for riding safely at 50mph on US 129. Video download of police in-car video of Blount County Sheriff deputy speeding at 61mph in a 30mph residential school zone. Precedent-setting case requires dismissal of ALL traffic citations against Dragon riders

Thunder Road at Deals Gap - Trailer. Veteran Robert Mitchum comes home from the Korean War to the mountains and takes over the family moonshining business, with his real life son James Mitchum. He has to battle big-city gangsters who are trying to take over the business and the police who are trying to put him in prison. The role of Robin was offered to Elvis Presley, who showed interest, but the idea was nixed by Presley's manager, 'Col. Tom Parker'. Robert Mitchum virtually owned this entire film. He wrote the story based on an actual incident that occurred just outside Knoxville, Tennessee. Tennessee state police confirm that in about 1953, a moonshine runner crashed his "moonrunner" car at a place called Reardon, which is now part of the city, and died. How Mitcum found the story, we may never know. Mitchum also helped write the lead song "Thunder Road" and the second song in the movie, "Whipporwill." He also recorded the title song and it was high on the pop charts for months. Raw And Rough As Today's Billion-Dollar Whiskey War! Hotrodding, Moonshining, Romancing - It's Got It All!

Thunder Road at Deals Gap - Full length uncut, as seen on Turner Classic Movies Channel

Two Lane Blacktop at Deals Gap - Trailer. The Driver and The Mechanic are two car freaks driving a 1955 Chevy throughout the southwestern U.S. looking for other cars to race. They are totally dedicated to The Car and converse with each other only when necessary. At a gas station, The Driver and The Mechanic, along with a girl who has ingratiated herself into their world, meet G.T.O., a middle-aged man who fabricates stories about his exploits. It is decided to have a race to Washington, D.C., where the winner will get the loser's car. Along the way, the race and the highway metaphorically depict the lives of these contestants as they struggle to their destination. Beach Boy Dennis Wilson is the mechanic, rocker James Taylor is the driver. You can never go fast enough at Deals Gap... About 1:30 into the movie, you will see a very familiar road!!!! They ride past the Fugitive bridge, and stop at the diner (now, the store). The "girl" who is with the drivers, walks out on them at the diner and leaves with a guy on a motorcycle! So, the whole last 15 minutes of the movie takes place here!

The Fugitive at Deals Gap - Trailer. Wrongly convicted of murdering his wife, Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) escapes from a prison bus and tries to find out why she was killed and who the murderer really was.

Police Evidence Video Stung by the Dragon - THP "drag racing sting" on US 129 at Deals Gap. Anyone who doesn't fight these tickets is directly funding this corruption. If you need advice or representation, call attorney Chris Oldham in Knoxville at 865-934-0753. Oldham has won perjury orders for arrest of THP troopers in Blount County courts, for testilying about RADAR speeds when RADAR wasn't even turned on. You also have the right to request all evidence that will be used against you to prepare your court case, so do it! Maybe we'll see another spectacular piece of cinema like the last time. Videotape cuts both ways... It should be noted that everyone got charged with "Drag Racing", a VERY powerful ticket in TN, but as far as I know no one was convicted of it. They either took the plea bargain of Careless/Reckless, or fought it and got the charges reduced to simple speeding, or thrown out completely. Noah Hendrix is the one on the yellow Honda they magically predict "is going to pass, so pull him over." He never passed anyone, and atty. Chris Oldham got the case thrown out.

Why we wear helmets - Bill Dube, the inventor of the KillaCycle electric dragbike, did a burn out in front of the Los Angeles Convention Center, but accidentally accelerated...

Why we don't hit "guardrails" - Target fixation and failure to countersteer. Slice and dice, leg cut off, girl cut in half. No gear, but leathers and plastic "armor" is no match for sharp steel. Why the Dragon needs airfencing. This is what happens to car drivers who have 70-feet of "guardrail" pass through their crotch in Knoxville TN

Anatomy of a hit-and-run: When Hogs can fly off the Dragon's cliff - WTF? RV driver: "Don't stop! Dude, they're gonna beat our asses! Ha ha ha! Let's get the fuck out of here! I'd've pulled over if there was a fuckin spot to pull over." Note the side road on the left where the RV driver claimed there was no parking... RV gang was drinking alcohol, which is why they didn't stop. "Strictly speaking, a driver can register a BAC of 0.00% and still be convicted of a DUI. The level of BAC does not clear a driver when it is below the 'presumed level of intoxication.'" — Tennessee Driver Handbook and Driver License Study Guide. Tennessee Code §55-8-123. Driving on roadways laned for traffic: "Where passing is unsafe because of traffic in the opposite direction or other conditions, a slow-moving vehicle, including a passenger vehicle, behind which five (5) or more vehicles are formed in line, shall turn or pull off the roadway wherever sufficient area exists to do so safely, in order to permit vehicles following it to proceed." Tennessee Code §55-10-103. Duty to give information and render aid: The driver of any vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury or death shall render assistance, to include the carrying of such a person to a hospital." Beware Target Fixation. Braking hard in a curve makes it impossible to lean and turn. Bikes countersteer in the opposite direction to cars, but most bikers forget in an emergency and try to steer it like a trike.

Truck crash on the Dragon - Tractor trailer t truck flips upside down during Deadly Police State Surge

Deals Gap, or, Why Idiots Should Not Drive Semi Trucks on Deals Gap - The reason DOT don't outlaw all 18-wheelers is probably due to car-theiving tow-truckers paying bribes to THP and NCHP to not install "NO COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC" signs (as posted on the high-speed Foothills Parkway), to protect their lucrative towing business. Long trucks are simply too dangerous for driving the hairpins on US129 through Deals Gap. Truckers don't even get traffic tickets when they crash, roll over at 10mph, or kill bikers on The Dragon

As broadcast by WBCR 1470am in Alcoa Tennessee on 26 January 2007. Feel free to vote on this issue by emailing or telephoning Doug Overbey and Joe McCord. Presumably most truckers agree, since they hate paying towtruckers as much as bikers do

You Tube biker arrested for You Tube video - A MOTORBIKE rider has been charged with reckless driving after footage of a bike racing at 170mph on Lothian roads was posted on the internet. Officers were left "stunned" after watching a series of video clips of superbikes performing dangerous stunts, posted on the internet site YouTube. The biker involved had attached a camera to the front of his bike to capture his speedometer on his breakneck rides. A 34-year-old man has been arrested and charged after work by the police computer forensics team at Fettes.

Deputy nabs five motorcyclists going 100-mph plus - The motorcyclists didn't notice the deputy because he was in an undercover car. Four of the motorcyclists have been found guilty on reckless driving or racing charges. The fifth has a court date later in June. Never mind that Constitutional Equal Protection doctrine requires dismissal of all charges when the cop was not arrested for speeding at over 100 mph without mandatory use of emergency lights and siren. Too bad the cop refuses to arrest 40-million illegal aliens who murder dozens of US citizens every day

SAVE A LIFE AND PUT THIS STICKER ON YOUR KID'S BIKE - Censored US Govt HURT REPORT on COUNTERSTEERING

California Superbike School NO BS Bike - "Steering happens backwards. Many riders have learned to steer a motorcycle without understanding the process. Steering is simple enough—you push the bars in the opposite direction of the direction you wish to travel. That begins the turn, and the bike leans as it turns. Deliberately turning the bars in the opposite direction of travel is known as counter steering. To go right you must turn the bars to the left—to go left, turn the bars to the right. Counter steering is the only way you can direct a motorcycle to steer accurately. In essence, motorcycle steering is backwards from most other forms of transportation. An automobile goes in the direction you turn the wheel, as do most other forms of transportation. One problem we have in learning to ride stems from a cruel trick played on us by our parents. They gave us a tricycle to pedal around. A tricycle turns in the direction you steer it. When we rode a bicycle for the first time, we fell down, and everyone said it was because we didn't have good balance. Actually, it was because bicycles also counter steer. Balance had nothing to do with it! The confusion is caused because the child expects the bike to go right when he turns to the right. Eventually, out of sheer survival instincts, he goes through the steering motions without understanding them and winds up on a motorcycle 15 years later not knowing what he has been doing to go around turns. Most riders, in an emergency, try to turn the bike in the direction they want to go. I have known people who who have ridden for 30 years without having to face an emergency situation. Then, one day a car pulls out in front of them. They try to avoid it but the bike won't do what they want it to. So they get scared and quit riding. They realize that the control they thought was there—wasn't." DOH!

SCOOTER COPS TERRORIZE SIDEWALK PATRONS - Police patrolling crowded downtown Nashville are upgrading from bicycles to motorized scooters to cover more ground while still avoiding traffic jams. Sgt. Bill York said the officers who ride the 50cc scooters are getting some strange looks and comments from downtown pedestrians. "It takes a minute for them to figure out what it is," York said. "Most people make a comment about their smallness. They want to know if we did something with the big motorcycles. Are we downsizing?" Four downtown officers and one in Hermitage are trained to ride the scooters. York said the officers like the new scooters because they are just as maneuverable but faster than their old bicycles He said the scooters can be driven on sidewalks and are very quiet compared with regular motorcycles. "Of course everyone is always glad to see us on the streets and sidewalks, and being out there where they can see us and address us," York said. "Suing bogus parking tickets, stealing cars and extortion shakedown rackets have never been so much fun!"

How to ride a motorized bicycle in a parking lot - "MSF Guide to Motorcycling Excellence" SM book includes an excellent discussion on "Countersteering". Too bad MSF censors its book and the word "Countersteering" from its Basic RiderCoursesSM, and from its govt motorcycle rider license tests. Since March 1973, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) SM has set internationally recognized standards of excellence in motorcycle rider education and training. The MSF works with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), state governments, the military and other organizations to censor the word "Countersteering" from motorcyclist education, training and operator licensing. More than 3.5 million motorcyclists have graduated from Basic SM or Experienced SM RiderCourses SM. Each year throughout the nation and the military, there is an average of 7,000 MSF-certified RiderCoach SM Police State Death Squads actively teaching, each trained by one of a team of 210 MSF-certified RiderCoach Trainers SM, who are basically burned-out ate-up govt assholes whose sole purpose in life appears to be ruining the fun of learning to ride. ScooterSchool SM is a half-day, hands-on, entry-level, er, scooter school. In 1997, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation SM began operating the MSF DirtBike School SM. The DirtBike School SM is MSF's SM fastest growing program, and is already used by both federal and state agencies to train Police State Death Squads SM. Another important activity for the MSF SM is operator licensing. The MSF model Motorcycle Operator Manual SM and written tests were published to censor the word "Countersteering", since that word cannot be copyrighted, trademarked, service marked or otherwise profited from. The MSF Government Relations SM office, based near our nation's capital, is the Foundation's whore for motorcycle Police State SM propaganda before the United States Congress and federal regulatory agencies as well as at state legislatures and Police State Death Squads. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation SM filed a lawsuit against Oregon State University SM, its president, and also against Stephen GaretsSM, both individually and in his official capacity as director of the Team Oregon Motorcycle Safety Program SM of OSU SM, charging the parties with copyright infringement and violation of the MSF's SM rights under the Lanham Act SM. We'll let you decide who is the biggest prick SM

North West 200 - The North West 200 is a motorcycle roadrace held each May in Northern Ireland, using public roads, with highspeed roundabout chicanes replacing stop-signs 24/7/365, and bone-crunching British curbs. The circuit between the towns Portrush, Portstewart and Coleraine (the Triangle) is considered among the fastest in the world, with speeds topping 200mph, and enters the outskirts of those towns, passing many private houses. To facilitate this, street signs are removed at parts of the track and bales of hay used to wrap the base of lampposts and telegraph poles in case of an accident. It is one of around fifteen events run on public roads between April and October throughout the island of Ireland. In 2006 it was the highest attended sporting event in Ireland, with up to 150,000 people from Ireland, Britain, Europe and beyond descending on the "Triangle" for the week. The meeting takes its name from the main race of the afternoon - the 'North West 200,' originally ran over 200 miles, before changing to its current format of six separate races each running 4-6 laps of the 8.966 mile circuit. This forms part of the larger tradition of Irish road-racing and the Isle of Man TT races race weekend attracts thousands of fans, many of whom camp on fields beside the circuit. It is the largest annual sporting event in Ireland, with over 100,000 visitors from all over the world every year.

Warning to copsters heading to Deals Gap Dragon - Caught on disk: Blount County Sheriff deputy Josh Antros' time-stamped in-car video with GPS speed recording proves at least 5 criminal misdemeanors within 60 seconds - (1) driving at night with lights off; (2) running a stop sign; (3) speeding 61mph in a 30mph residential/school zone; (4) reckless driving at 31mph above the posted speed limit; (5) crossing a double yellow line around a blind curve signposted as "dangerous curve". Video does not show defendant's alleged "crime" (alleged breach of voluntary civil driver license contract). CASE DISMISSED with COURT COSTS PAID BY THE STATE. Blount County general sessions court held a CRIMINAL Preliminary Examination (probable cause hearing) instead of a CIVIL Bench Trial, then bound the case over to the Grand Jury. Defendant had demanded a Jury Trial. Constitutional Equal Protection doctrine requires citzens to get all the same rights as govt employees, without fear of prosecution, including the right to speed. Since BCSD and Blount County district attorney general refused to prosecute Antros for his 5 confessed crimes, this means the DA cannot prosecute ANYBODY in Blount County for those same "crimes" - including the Dragon.

The same Media Mafia that censors the fact that 2.5-million US citizens are murdered every year in Govt-licensed Death Camps in USA today. Proud display of defective killer "guardrails". Proof that posted speed limits are invalid when not based upon the 85-Percentile Speed of the majority of traffic (the safest speed) - it's called "democracy" in a democratic republic. No mention of Gangsta Govt's export of millions of manufacturing jobs thanks to NAFTA, CAFTA, SHAFTA, GATT, WTO and SPP, and the total inability of USA to compete in the motorcycle marketplace.

ACLU sues police state, er, state police, but only to protect illegal alien invasion - The Rhode Island Affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union yesterday filed a federal lawsuit against the state police, alleging racial profiling and violation of the constitutional rights of 14 Guatemalan nationals during a July traffic stop that led to their detention by immigration officials. According to the lawsuit, Chabot pulled over a van operated by Carlos A. Tamup because Tamup had failed to use his turn signal when changing lanes. The lawsuit alleges that Chabot first confirmed that Tamup’s license and registration were valid and that he had no criminal record. “Chabot nonetheless proceeded to open the doors of the vehicle, and by utilizing Tamup as a translator, requested all the passengers to also provide identification,” according to an ACLU synopsis of the case. When some failed to do so, Chabot then asked them to produce documents “demonstrating their U.S. citizenship.” When none of the 14 were able to do so, Chabot advised them that they would all be escorted to the federal Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Providence. As a US citizen, try calling ACLU to defend your next traffic ticket or towtheft, and see what happens... I'm not kidding

How to Behave During a Traffic Stop - A motorist who refused to discuss his personal business with a St. George, Missouri police officer was threatened with arrest last Friday. Brett Darrow, 20, no stranger to unconventional encounters with police, caught a St. George Police Sergeant named Kenline stating that he had the power to invent charges that would put Darrow behind bars. Although the video clearly shows Darrow driving properly and using his turn signal, the police officer insisted that Darrow had broken the law. "Oh, while you were coming towards me you were swerving back and forth within the roadway," Sergeant Kenline said. "I might give you a ticket for that. You want me to come up with some more? When you turned in, you failed to use your turn signal, your right turn signal. Yeah, you wanna try me? You wanna try me tonight? You think you've had a bad night? I will ruin your fucking night! Do you want to go to jail for some fucking reason I come up with? Do you wanna see who knows the law better, me or you. My experience compared to your young ass. Huh? Don't ever get smart mouthed with a cop again. I show you what a cop does. Do you understand me? Try and talk back -- Talk back to me again. I bet I could say you resisted arrest or something. You want to come up with something? I come up with nine things. Do you wanna try something? You want me to show you the fucking law? What are you doin' with a camera hooked to your car seat? I really don't care about your camera system cause I'm about ready to tow your car. Then we can tear them all apart... I don't really care cause you're about ready to go to jail. I don't have to have a reason to pull you over. We've got cameras and body mics." Without the video, Darrow points out that he would have stood no chance disproving the officer's word in court. Twenty-eight percent of the St. George municipal budget comes from traffic citations. Darrow wonders how many of the tickets were legitimate. Before this event, police publicly threatened to murder Darrow, which is why he now uses videocams

Some $40,000 in cash turned up "missing" from the police evidence room on September 17. The city of St. George was forced to fire Sergeant James Kuehnlein for his threat to "come up with reasons" to "lock up" Darrow. An investigation into whether Kuehnlein's actions merit criminal charges is under way. Darrow met on Monday with a Saint Louis County Police Department detective. A judge also dropped charges from the June traffic stop after a Saint Louis police officer failed to show up at a trial where Darrow had been prepared to defend himself with video evidence.

"Strictly speaking, a driver can register a BAC of 0.00% and still be convicted of a DUI. The level of BAC does not clear a driver when it is below the 'presumed level of intoxication.'" — Tennessee Driver Handbook and Driver License Study Guide

WARNING: Man passes breathalyzer with 0.00% score, arrested for DUI - When Russell Errett went out to play a game of pickup basketball with friends April 19, he didn’t expect it to cost him thousands of dollars and end up in a court case. But that’s exactly where it is headed. Errett, 50, was charged with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and weaving outside lanes of traffic. “It makes no sense to me,” said Errett’s attorney, James Linehan. “He cooperated with police, took the breathalyzer test and scored zeros, and yet he was still cited for OVI (Operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated). Clearly he wasn’t intoxicated.” City Prosecutor Terre Vandervoort said her office had started reviewing the case on Wednesday. “We are talking to the officers who were present, reviewing any video tape,” Vandervoort said. “There could be a number of reasons why someone could not score on breathalyzer and still be cited. We are certain he was driving in a way that was putting other people in risk. We are in the process of reviewing everything.” Errett had gone out earlier on that Thursday with friends, according to police reports. He had told the officer who had pulled him over he had a beer earlier in the day, but that was all. “He was the designated driver for his friends,” Linehan said. “They were drinking but he wasn’t. He was taking them home when he got pulled over. Lancaster police patrolman J.D. Devereaux stopped Errett’s Lincoln LS sedan at 12:47 a.m. A review of the police reports and the supplementary investigation report say Errett was polite, but failed the field sobriety test. Errett was then read his Miranda rights and arrested; his car was impounded. Errett readily agreed to take the breathalyzer test, maintaining his innocence. He told the officer he had been confused and nervous when taking the field sobriety test. When he took the test, the result came back with all zeros. He had no alcohol in his system. “The legislature, the courts and law enforcement officers all want people to take a breath test when requested by law enforcement. Fair enough,” Linehan said. “But why take the test if being completely innocent is no defense against being arrested for a crime you didn’t commit? If I get a call from a potential client at 3 a.m. don’t I have to tell him, ‘Yeah you could take the test, but even if you test .000, you will still be arrested?’” Errett was given the ticket, had to put up a $1,000 bond, pay to get his car out of the impound lot and hire an attorney with his trial scheduled for later this month. “Coming on the heals of the sanctions against Prosecutor Attorney Mike Nifong in the Duke rape case, it is my hope that we have reached a point where it is no longer acceptable for the state to continue to prosecute innocent people. There should be some sanction for arresting someone the officer should reasonably know to be innocent,” Linehan said. “In this case the officer had a scientific test, a scientific test which officers ask juries to believe everyday, which told the officer that my client was innocent,” Linehan said. “And even with the knowledge that my client was innocent, he was still charged. The state should be held accountable for that. My client has been unfairly embarrassed and has had to expend attorney fees for a crime he didn’t commit. At an absolute minimum he is owed an apology and the community is owed an explanation as to why our officers are arresting people they know to be innocent.” Vandervoort said after they have reviewed the case, it may still go to trial, or the charges may be dropped or altered.

The Tennessee Dragon US-129 had a 55mph speed limit in Orwell's 1984, but 30mph speed limit in Bushes' 2006. All speed limits, driver licenses, vehicle registration and traffic citation taxes are outlawed by the US Constitutionally guaranteed God-given Natural Right to travel. Horses are more deadly than motor vehicles, as proved by Superman Christopher Reeves, yet horse riders and horse-drawn carrige drivers were never extorted to pay taxes for rider/driver licenses nor threatened by speed limits for 1,000s of years. Today horse riders are allowed to ride at maximum speed on the Dragon US-129, without a license, and are no longer required to pay the Hangman at Toll Booth Corner

How to Behave During a Traffic Stop - The attorney for a Detroit police sergeant who was Tasered three times by Farmington Hills police says his client did not try to flee police after a traffic violation. Sgt. David Marshall is charged with running a red light at 10 Mile and Inkster about 1:05 a.m. Dec. 13 after getting off work from the Detroit Police Department. The 12-year veteran, who was in uniform at the time of the incident, is also charged with interfering with police authority. Attorney Arnold Reed also said Marshall was unnecessarily stripped down to his underclothes at the police station after surrendering his police radio and ammunition. Reed added the police officers didn't activate their overhead lights until Marshall pulled into his Farmington Hills driveway. While still seated in his car getting mail from his mailbox, Marshall was asked to get out of his car and remove his weapon from its holster. Marshall requested that a superior officer be brought to the scene and his car was searched, Reed said. Officers used the Taser the first time on Marshall when he reached for his radio. He later placed his hand on his gun and the officer stunned him again. Reed said Marshall had put his hand on the weapon to secure it. A court date has been set for 2 p.m. Jan. 8, 2006 in 47th District Court. So this means anyone can make a citizens arrest of any uniformed cop for resisting arrest, and can use deadly force and justifiable homicide against any cop speeding 1mph over the speed limit or for any other alleged breach of civil driver license contract...

How to Behave During a Traffic Stop When You Are a Terrorist - US Supreme Court requires all US slaves to "identify themselves", which can be done VERBALLY, or by any printed "I.D. card" or document, just like opening an account at a bank, that shows a name and address. However, the 5th Amendment to US Constitution includes the right to shut up about everything else. No need to lecture illiterate copsters who are not lawyers, until you wage war in a court of law. If you want to learn the law, read a lawbook, but don't ask an idiot cop. Note that this Police State Death Squad believes that U.S. Constitution, US Supreme Court cases and jury instructions are terrorist documents. The key to success is a predecided strategy of when to speak, what to say, and when to sit down and shut up. Impoverished Abby Newman was eventually found "guilty" of not being able to afford a trial lawyer nor well-read enough to win pro se, and she faced life sentence in unconstitutional debtors prison on Death Row for "civil contempt of court", if she couldn't afford to pay $6,000 court costs. The actual "criminal" sentence included no jail time. This is a common bait and switch trick by Gangsta Govt to keep the slave plantations full, including Blount County "Justice" Center torture dungeon Death Camp. Filing Affidavit of Indigency and claiming your Homestead Exemption defeats most of that scam. The rest of the scam is defeated by knowing how to defend yourself pro se in court using both civil and criminal Rules of Procedure (detailed on this webpage), with a long list of US Supreme court cases that order that driver licenses are optional civil contracts that only apply to commercial truck drivers and taxicabs "for hire".

How to Kill Robocops - Illegal Robocop Spy Scameras attack Knoxville with bogus traffic tickets, sending millions of taxdollars to Australia, resulting in a Top Secret million-dollar federal class action lawsuit to refund 100,000 traffic tickets. Judge John Rossen confessed that Robocops INCREASED the number of crashes in Knoxville. due to shortening yellow lights and moving the painted stop lines. PNTV's John Lee says the word "fuck" on 100.3 FM, resulting in $100,000 fine for WNOX(?). Knoxville City Council and Knox County Commission Gangsta Govts lets Robocop Court waste more taxdollars losing in U.S. District Court. Norman Fernadez attorney at law: "It is extremely easy to beat this type of ticket in court. Your easiest defense is to simply throw the ticket away. If it does not come with a return receipt that requires a signature, there is no proof that you actually got the ticket and they cannot prosecute you on that. What the legal system wants you to do is just send in the fine and not ask any questions." Same strategy applies to parking tickets, which likewise lack proper service of process of the civil lawsuit. List of court cases proving "driver license" contracts are only required for "commercial drivers for hire".

Fuck the Man, Lest Man Fuck Slave: GPS taxation by the mile - GPS speeding tickets by mail - SUPERBIKE Magazine - Yes, don't just moan, do something about it. Short of turning yourself into a IED and giving the home secretary John Reid a fright in his bullet-proof and bomb-proof car, read this and then consider your options. The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having to purchase a tracking device for your car and pay a monthly bill to use it. The tracking device will cost about Ł200 ($400) and in a recent study by the BBC, the lowest monthly bill was Ł28 ($60) for a rural florist and Ł194 for a delivery driver. A non-working Mum who used the car to take the kids to school paid Ł86 ($170) in one month. On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody will know where you are at all times. They will also know how fast you have been going, so even if you accidentally creep over a speed limit you can expect a NIP with your monthly bill.

Note that Blount County Sheriff Dept patrol cars in Tennessee already have GPS tracking on in-car videotapes, used for suing speeding tickets. What Superbike mag censors from its readers is that Robocop tickets lack personal service of process, and can be thrown in the trash and ignored, according to US law, which is based on British Common Law. Superbike censors every person's right to telephone, write letters, personally speak to all elected public servants, sue public servants, to demand freedom from slavery, and the right to make citizen's arrests of all public servants for their crimes. British history is full of such examples, such as the Magna Carta war, to bitchslap the faggot kings and remind them who's boss, or off with his or her head. Superbike also, censors the fact that vehicle insurance is voluntary, to please its mafia enforcers, er, insurance salesmen, who include bare nekked ladies, er, sex slaves, in all Superbike adverts.

Queen Tony BLiar defiant over road pricing row - Tony Blair insisted he would press ahead with pilot road pricing schemes yesterday despite more than 40,000 people signing a petition against them in less than 24 hours. Non-British residents use this address: 17 Avon Crescent, Bicester, Oxon, OX68LZ. Mr Blair's official spokesman sounded a defiant note as the number of opponents to the proposals on the Downing Street website climbed. More than 250,000 names are now listed. The Department for Transport sought to defuse the controversy by insisting that, despite the plans for pilot schemes, the Government remained open-minded about pressing ahead with road pricing for the whole country. "Until we see how pricing works in practice it would be premature to decide whether we should take forward a national scheme and what that scheme might look like." This contrasted sharply with Mr Blair's tone when he appointed Douglas Alexander Transport Secretary last July. In his letter to Mr Alexander, he wrote: "We need to advance the debate on the introduction of a national road-user charging scheme. The successful roll-out of local schemes funded from the Transport Innovation Fund will be critical. I would like you to identify the other key steps for the successful introduction of road-user charging within the next decade." Mr Alexander was even more unequivocal a month later when he made his pitch for a legislative slot in this parliamentary session for a Bill to enable pilot pay-as-you-drive schemes to be started in several parts of the country. "It would also help to pave the way for a national road-pricing scheme," he told Cabinet colleagues. A senior Whitehall insider said there was greater enthusiasm for road pricing among politicians than officials at the Transport Department. He described yesterday's statement as a tactical retreat while the argument raged, rather than preparing the ground for the plans to be scrapped completely. Chris Grayling, the Tory transport spokesman said: "The Government's transport strategy is all over the place. Now it looks as if either they may be going into full reverse on their plans or they're trying to avoid telling people exactly what they are trying to do." Now that George Bush Jr overthrew USA, and illegally merged USA with Mexico and Canada, in his Security and Prosperity Partnership contract of 2005, to eliminate all US borders, and allow invasion by 250-million illegal aliens in the next 10 years. Canada is a member of the 53-nation British Commonwealth, run by the German Queen of England, who is Bush Jr's 3rd cousin. Soon the Queen's mugshot will be on Ameridollars, which are scheduled to replace the "US dollar", er, private couterfeit Federal Reserve Bank Notes. Then British martial law will become US law, such as ban on all firearms, ban on the Christian Bible and Jewish Torah, and GPS taxation by mail

Is this what will become of the "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave?"

Dirtbike Suspension Setup - Static ride height also applies to street bikes

Setting Spring Sag - By Keith Code at California Superbike School, with many other videos from their freaky Frankenbikes

Suspenion setup - A top racing suspension company suggest that rear wheel rider sag should be around 30-40mm and rear static sag should be around 5-10mm. However this many vary depending on your bike and manufacturer. The more rider sag you have, the softer the bike suspension will be. I personally use 35mm for road and a few track days use. Therefore if your rider sag is less than 30 mm then your rear preload is too hard, if it is more than 40 mm, then it is a bit soft. Once you have set your rider sag as close as possible to 30-40 mm, next check your rear static sag. If you have more than 10mm then you may need stiffer springs. If however, if your static sag is less than 5mm or you have no static sag then your rear springs may be too hard for your weight. Wrap cable ties around the smooth part (stanchion) of front forks near the rubber seal to the forks. Ensure that it does not scratch the stanchion and it is not too tight as to damage the rubber seals. With the cable ties in place ride your bike as normal using as many riding conditions (corners, braking, accelerating, wheelies and stopples) that you are likely to meet. Then increase or decrease your front preload until the cable tie stops about 10 mm before “bottoming out”.

Accelleration increases ground clearance front and rear, and decelleration decreases ground clearance front and rear, which is especially important on cruisers with limited ground clearance.]

Sport Rider: Motorcycle Tire Tech Articles

Test for neutral steering — Find a curvy road where a fast rider could easily go through the curves at 50 mph, but 30 mph is easy and "normal" for the average rider. As you go through a turn, sort of lighten up on your hand pressure on the bars. As you lighten up, the bike should stay in the same line as before. If you feel that the bike wants to "fall over" or "go straight" then maybe you don't have neutral steering. As you feel your bike want to stay in the same curve, lighten up even more. If you can get to the point of having your hands completely off of the bars and the bike still stays in the same curve, then you definitely have neutral steering. You should discover that your airhead BMW will go through the turn without your hands even on the bars. One can even put it into the turn and pull it out without even touching the bars. It won't be done as quickly as with your hands on the bars, but it certainly can be done. I have ridden miles through many curves without even touching the bars, just by using my body to steer. Oversteer: This is where the bike seems to want to fall over into the turn, or turn tighter as you relax your pressure on the bars. Understeer: This is where the bike doesn't even want to lean. It will try to stand up in the curve if you reduce pressure on the bars. The shape of the tire profile greatly alters how a bike goes into corners. The old Dunlop K81 had a triangular profile and that caused it to give one a scare as it transitioned from straight ahead to medium cornering. After it was in the corner it really held well. Take a look at the profile and see if it has any irregular shape to it. Neutral steering makes it easier to ride long distances, go through curves with confidence and save your shoulder and back muscles.

Hanging off improves safety and control according to Motorcycle Safety Foundation Advanced Rider Course Textbook - Drag a knee in a parking lot at 10 mph no matter what kind of bike by tighting the radius of the turn

SoundRider.com: Coming Unglued — Back in the “good old days”, road camber didn’t have as much effect, because those old round-profile motorcycle tires didn’t cause as much of a sideways shift in the position of the contact ring as the bike leaned over. Dunlop even designed a “Trigonic” front tire that had a triangular cross section more like a V than an O. The idea was to have maximum tire contact with the bike leaned over. But one result was that the contact ring remained close to the bike centerline right up to about 40 or 45-degree lean angles. And with the harder rubber compounds available in those days, riders had to be pretty nervy to lean the bike over that far. Those few riders who were adequately nervy discovered that when the tire suddenly made full contact on the flattish side of it’s tread, a bike could make some surprising changes of direction, or produce some scary wobbles. Shifting weight towards the inside of the curve (hanging off) allows the bike to hold the same line at less of a lean angle. The bike/rider combined CG is now in a slightly different position, but the bike can follow the same curve at the same speed at less of a lean angle. It’s obvious that the bike will have more leanover clearance with the rider hanging off towards the inside. What’s not so obvious, but just as important, is that it moves the contact ring back towards the centerline of the tire, reducing that off-center tire drag, and therefore reducing steering effort. If the rider has to maintain a strong push on the low grip to keep the bike leaned over, that really means the bike wants to countersteer itself upright. In other words, the contact ring is too far from the centerline to allow the bike to stabilize itself at that particular speed or road camber. Hanging off doesn’t change the traction equation very much, which means you don’t increase the risks of a slideout by leaning your body to a different angle than the motorcycle. If your machine makes sparks too easily, or keeps bending the sidestand lever, or requires a lot of steering effort to hold your intended line, hanging off might give you better control. Even large touring and sport-touring bikes can benefit from hanging off. It’s important to feel what your bike is trying to tell you. As the bike leans over, the tire contact ring moves farther and farther from the centerline of the bike, so the drag on the tire has more torque to pull the wheel towards the turn. In other words, the tire’s drag steers the wheel more towards the turn as the bike is leaned over. Be aware that a two-wheeler balances by countersteering. To lean the bike right, you momentarily steer the front wheel left, which forces the motorcycle to lean (“roll”) towards the right. So, in a left turn, if the front tire steers itself more towards the left, the effect is that the motorcycle wants to roll itself upright, back into a straight line again. To keep the motorcycle leaned over and continuing around the turn, the rider must maintain [countersteer] pressure on the low grip. Letting up on that low grip at the curve exit allows the front wheel to steer itself a little tighter, rolling the bike back vertical again. But you may have noticed that sometimes the bike seems to hold a lean with very little pressure on the low grip, and sometimes you’ve got to push hard on the low grip, or even pull on the low grip to maintain the same lean angle. What’s going on? Why isn’t steering effort the same all the time? Part of the answer is road camber, the slant of the road in curves. Some roads slant toward the curve (positive camber), some slant away from the curve (“off-camber”) Consider a bike leaned over to the same angle in three different curves, one with positive camber, one with the pavement level, and one off-camber. Notice that the lean angle of the bikes is the same in all three turns. (Figure 3) In the positive-camber turn, the contact ring will be close to the bike centerline, so side drag from the tire will be minimal, and steering should feel very neutral. In a level turn, there will be a moderate amount of offset drag, requiring more push on the low grip to maintain the same curving line. In the off-camber curve, the tire will drag much more towards the inside, requiring a much stronger push on the low grip to hold the same line.

Super Streetbike: Dial In Your Ride — Instead of worrying about which tire is stickier, you should concentrate on things like the tire profile. Are you the kind of rider who likes to slam your bike on its side and rail through corners at maximum lean? A more triangular profile, with its quicker steering and larger contact patch at full lean, will be more suited to you. If you're a rider who trail brakes into turns, hanging at the outside, waiting to see where the pavement goes before committing to your final line, you should look at rounder profiles that have a larger contact patch for braking while upright and allow for easier adjustment of lines mid-corner. According to Jeff Johnson from Metzeler/Pirelli, Pirelli's Diablo tires were designed for riders who spend about 30 percent of their time on the track and 70 percent on the street. The Diablo Corsa has someone who spends 70 percent of the time at the track and 30 percent on the street as its intended user. Rubber compounds have gotten that specific.

Motorcycle Tire Basics — Another aspect to this is of course the tire cross-sectional profile. The old Dunlop triangular racing tire, for example, was designed to put more rubber on the road when leant over, so even without tire distortion the contact patch area increased, simply by virtue of the lean angle.

Coming to Grips: Dunlop's new Qualifier street tires — The result of this two year process is a front tire with a more triangular profile (for quicker turn-in) that almost matches Dunlop's Sportmax GP race tire while the rear retains the profile of the D208ZR. The first sessions achieved Dunlop's goal. We were reminded that the D208 wasn't really a bad tire. However, it wasn't a great tire either. The primary marks against it were the front's rounded front profile and relatively heavy weight. Both of these conspired to make turn-in slower than it should be. The profile was also responsible for causing bikes to stand up when braking in a corner-not exactly the prescription for confidence when trail braking into a corner. Still, the D208 could rail through corners offering good grip all the way up to maximum lean. Once at maximum lean, the edge grip was not as confidence inspiring as I would have liked. On my first lap out with the Qualifier — before I'd even scrubbed in the tires — I was immediately able to notice a difference in the steering. Once I got up to speed, I was astounded with the change in the bike's steering and handling. Steering inputs were responded to with razor-sharp precision, and I began to alter my lines slightly to account for this new ability. When leaned all the way over on the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch track's two long sweepers (turns one and two), I was able to carry maximum lean much more comfortably. While the front tire's more triangular profile made steering more responsive, where the profile's change really shone was when braking while leaned over. Whether I was trail braking into a corner or beginning to apply the brakes while already cranked over, the Qualifiers never exhibited the tendency to stand up that the D208ZRs did. The Dunlop support crew lowered the air pressures from the street settings of 34 lbs. front and 36 lbs. rear to lower, more track oriented ones. The results were — if my intel can be trusted — more feedback from the front approaching the limit and more than twice the number of hard laps before the rear tire got greasy when compared to the D208ZR.

East TN Riders: Tires, bike setup and you — When you change tires (especially between manufacturers and/or models) there can be significant differences between mounted tire diameters. If the new tire is taller or shorter than the previous one it WILL affect the bike's "stance". ie a taller front tire will make the front of the bike ride higher and steer slower. Similarly for the rear of the bike, if the new tire raises the rear of the bike, then the bike will steer faster. The race tires have a taller profile than stock and have raised both ends of the bike BUT the net difference is that the bike sits 4.3 mm higher at the rear. (This is often why people go to a 180 rear from a 190). The bike will steer much faster, but if you've adjusted the bikes stance to get it to steer fast already then that extra 4.3 mm may make it really unstable or "twitchy". Don't overlook the potential effect a tire can have on bike setup, especially if you're changing brands. If you don't have a length adjustable rear shock, you would have to compensate for the tire changes by pulling up or pushing down the fork tubes through the triple clamps to lower or raise the front, respectively. Realizing the effect tires have on handling (beyond the "stick like glue) can be useful. Consider the case with a 120/70 front tire. If you have a non adjustable length shock and you're afraid of messing with the forks BUT you want to quicken the steering. You could go to a 120/65 section front tire to lower the front.

CONTROLLED CHAOS: European Cities Do Away with Traffic Signs

Are streets without traffic signs conceivable? Seven cities and regions in Europe are giving it a try - with good results

By Matthias Schulz
Der Spiegel
November 16, 2006

Drachten in the Netherlands has gotten rid of 16 of its traffic light crossings and converted the other two to roundabouts

"We reject every form of legislation," the Russian aristocrat and "father of anarchism" Mikhail Bakunin once thundered. The czar banished him to Siberia. But now it seems his ideas are being rediscovered.

European traffic planners are dreaming of streets free of rules and directives. They want drivers and pedestrians to interact in a free and humane way, as brethren -- by means of friendly gestures, nods of the head and eye contact, without the harassment of prohibitions, restrictions and warning signs.

A project implemented by the European Union is currently seeing seven cities and regions clear-cutting their forest of traffic signs. Ejby, in Denmark, is participating in the experiment, as are Ipswich in England and the Belgian town of Ostende.

The utopia has already become a reality in Makkinga, in the Dutch province of Western Frisia. A sign by the entrance to the small town (population 1,000) reads "Verkeersbordvrij" -- "free of traffic signs." Cars bumble unhurriedly over precision-trimmed granite cobblestones. Stop signs and direction signs are nowhere to be seen. There are neither parking meters nor stopping restrictions. There aren't even any lines painted on the streets.

"The many rules strip us of the most important thing: the ability to be considerate. We're losing our capacity for socially responsible behavior," says Dutch traffic guru Hans Monderman, one of the project's co-founders. "The greater the number of prescriptions, the more people's sense of personal responsibility dwindles."

Monderman could be on to something. Germany has 648 valid traffic symbols. The inner cities are crowded with a colorful thicket of metal signs. Don't park over here, watch out for passing deer over there, make sure you don't skid. The forest of signs is growing ever denser. Some 20 million traffic signs have already been set up all over the country.

Psychologists have long revealed the senselessness of such exaggerated regulation. About 70 percent of traffic signs are ignored by drivers. What's more, the glut of prohibitions is tantamount to treating the driver like a child and it also foments resentment. He may stop in front of the crosswalk, but that only makes him feel justified in preventing pedestrians from crossing the street on every other occasion. Every traffic light baits him with the promise of making it over the crossing while the light is still yellow.

"Unsafe is safe"

The result is that drivers find themselves enclosed by a corset of prescriptions, so that they develop a kind of tunnel vision: They're constantly in search of their own advantage, and their good manners go out the window.

The new traffic model's advocates believe the only way out of this vicious circle is to give drivers more liberty and encourage them to take responsibility for themselves. They demand streets like those during the Middle Ages, when horse-drawn chariots, handcarts and people scurried about in a completely unregulated fashion. The new model's proponents envision today's drivers and pedestrians blending into a colorful and peaceful traffic stream.

It may sound like chaos, but it's only the lesson drawn from one of the insights of traffic psychology: Drivers will force the accelerator down ruthlessly only in situations where everything has been fully regulated. Where the situation is unclear, they're forced to drive more carefully and cautiously.

Indeed, "Unsafe is safe" was the motto of a conference where proponents of the new roadside philosophy met in Frankfurt in mid-October.

True, many of them aren't convinced of the new approach. "German drivers are used to rules," [especially the rule that forbids speed limits on the Autobahn] says Michael Schreckenberg of Duisburg University. If clear directives are abandoned, domestic rush-hour traffic will turn into an Oriental-style bazaar, he warns. He believes the new vision of drivers and pedestrians interacting in a cozy, relaxed way will work, at best, only for small towns.

But one German borough is already daring to take the step into lawlessness. The town of Bohmte in Lower Saxony has 13,500 inhabitants. It's traversed by a country road and a main road. Cars approach speedily, delivery trucks stop to unload their cargo and pedestrians scurry by on elevated sidewalks.

The road will be re-furbished in early 2007, using EU funds. "The sidewalks are going to go, and the asphalt too. Everything will be covered in cobblestones," Klaus Goedejohann, the mayor, explains. "We're getting rid of the division between cars and pedestrians."

The plans derive inspiration and motivation from a large-scale experiment in the town of Drachten in the Netherlands, which has 45,000 inhabitants. There, cars have already been driving over red natural stone for years. Cyclists dutifully raise their arm when they want to make a turn, and drivers communicate by hand signs, nods and waving.

"More than half of our signs have already been scrapped," says traffic planner Koop Kerkstra. "Only two out of our original 18 traffic light crossings are left, and we've converted them to roundabouts." Now traffic is regulated by only two rules in Drachten: "Yield to the right" and "Get in someone's way and you'll be towed."

Strange as it may seem, the number of accidents has declined dramatically. Experts from Argentina and the United States have visited Drachten. Even London has expressed an interest in this new example of automobile anarchy. And the model is being tested in the British capital's Kensington neighborhood.

The Traffic Guru - One traffic engineer did achieve a measure of global celebrity, known, if not exactly by name, then by his ideas. His name was Hans Monderman. The idea that made Monderman, who died of cancer in January at the age of 62, most famous is that traditional traffic safety ­infra­structure—­warning signs, traffic lights, metal railings, curbs, painted lines, speed bumps, and so ­on—­is not only often unnecessary, but can endanger those it is meant to protect. As I drove with Monderman through the northern Dutch province of Friesland several years ago, he repeatedly pointed out offending traffic signs. “Do you really think that no one would perceive there is a bridge over there?” he might ask, about a sign warning that a bridge was ahead. “Why explain it?” He would follow with a characteristic maxim: “When you treat people like idiots, they’ll behave like idiots.” Eventually he drove me to Makkinga, a small village at whose entrance stood a single sign. It welcomed visitors, noted a 30 kilometer-per-hour speed limit, then added: “Free of Traffic Signs.” This was Monderman humor at its finest: a traffic sign announcing the absence of traffic signs. Monderman installed a radical kind of roundabout (a “squareabout,” in his words, because it really seemed more a town square than a traditional roundabout), marked only by a raised circle of grass in the middle, several fountains, and some very discreet indicators of the direction of traffic, which were required by law. As I watched the intricate social ballet that occurred as cars and bikes slowed to enter the circle (pedestrians were meant to cross at crosswalks placed a bit before the intersection), Monderman performed a favorite trick. He walked, backward and with eyes closed, into the Laweiplein. The traffic made its way around him. No one honked, he wasn’t struck. Instead of a binary, mechanistic process—stop, go—the movement of traffic and pedestrians in the circle felt human and organic. A year after the change, the results of this “extreme makeover” were striking: Not only had congestion decreased in the ­intersection—­buses spent less time waiting to get through, for ­example—­but there were half as many accidents, even though total car traffic was up by a third.

If you've driven through Old North Knoxville lately, then you might have noticed a change.

Knoxville City Engineers have taken the first steps in installing "traffic circles" to try to slow down the many speeders who race through this up-and-coming, historic neighborhood near Downtown.

Residents requested to be included in the city's traffic calming program after numerous near-accidents there.

Mini Roundabouts replace stops signs and redlights in Knoxville Tennessee, or they would if Gangsta Govt obeyed the Uniform Manual on Traffic Control Devices

"The traffic circle causes you to steer to go around the circle as you proceed through the intersection," says City Engineering Director Stephen J. King."The driver sees that, and you have to steer to make a maneuver, and you have to do that a little more slowly than you would if it wasn't there."

Residents say Old North has a particularly serious problem with speeders, particularly in the morning when drivers cut through side streets to get to work.

An example of a completed traffic circle sits at the intersection of Luttrell and Caswell in the Fourth and Gill neighborhood. The city expects to complete installation of the Old North traffic circles by Spring, 2007.

Until then, Old North residents want Knoxville drivers to stop racing through their neighborhood.

"There are a lot of children in this neighborhood, and it makes a really dangerous environment, so people just need to slow down," Rider says.

Super Streetbike magazine: Extreme sportbike action from North Carolina's Deals Gap - The 11.8-mile-long stretch of U.S. Highway 129 that traverses the North Carolina/ Tennessee border, called "The Dragon" by those in the know, is probably the most revered sportbiking road in America. And packing an honest to goodness 318 turns--each more diabolical than the last--into less than 12 miles, it's probably the twistiest stretch of tarmac as well. Laid out like God's own private back road, Ye Ol' Dragon is a seemingly endless succession of impeccably paved, perfectly cambered corners that practically demand you dip a knee or loft the front wheel over the next rise. If it's soul-stirring sportbike action you're looking for, you'll find plenty at Deals Gap any time between April and November. The cafe at the Crossroads of Time at the south end of the Dragon is constantly packed with serious sportbikers, making it a target-rich environment for benchracing, tire kicking or hooking up for impromptu rides. Just make sure you spoon on fresh tires before you go, pack some extra knee pucks and toe sliders and keep your ego in check--as you can see from many of these photos, this dragon breathes fire. A yellow Gixxer makes its way up aptly named Wheelie Hill. Full racing leathers are a common sight (and a good idea) at the Gap. "They oughta just close 129 on both ends, make it one way and station corner workers out there on weekends," was our favorite overheard comment. Curves, yes; runoff, no. A roadside memorial to a fallen rider.

Deal's Gap and the Dragon Endangered - If you have not yet challenged the Dragon you may wish to plan a trip soon as some legislators in Washington DC have plans of replacing it with Interstate 3. The proposed corridor of I-3 would begin in Savannah and end in Knoxville . The proposed corridor would past through North Carolina along NC 69 and US 64 to Murphy. The freeway would then follow US 19-129 to the western edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and continue to follow US 129 to I-40 and I-75 just west of Knoxville. This route would not only destroy miles of scenic highways but would also negatively impact a botanical paradise. The construction of this proposed interstate would likely be wrought with landslides and cost overruns. I would suggest that federal dollars slated for this project would be better spent on Katrina recovery rather than this pork project. You can help by writing your Representative and Senators in Washington . Ask your elected officials to withhold funding or change the route of this proposed interstate. By FastFred's Motorcycle Rights E-zine

PetitionOnline.com:People Against Highway 3 - To: North Carolina, Tenn. and GA legislators - We, the undersigned (heretofore refferred to as "we"), have joined together to make public the dissention among the general population on the subject of the proposed Highway 3 project spanning from Savannah, Georgia to Knoxville, Tennessee. We feel that the construction of such a highway would destroy several natural attractions, quaint hometowns, delicately balanced ecosystems as well as upset the delicate economies of numerous townships along its path, not the least of which being places such as Deal's Gap, the "Tail of the Dragon" (US 129), the Cherohala area and many others. By signature of this document, we show our continuing dismay that such a project would be considered, and also that we may withhold votes from those regional legislators and other proponents of this particular project.

Note that even cops make citizen's arrest every day, when cops illegally moonlight "part time" as "private security guards" in mafia "law enforcement" protection rackets to extort billions of dollars from private business owners, while wearing govt uniforms and badges and pretending to be on duty cops which is the felony of "impersonating police officers"

"Tennessee State Representative Joe McCord (R-Maryville, District 8) has been caught on tape blasting past motorists on Interstate 40 in his pickup truck at speeds apparently in excess of 100 MPH. When Franklin resident Alan Osburn saw a truck that passed him at high speed had special legislative plates, he pulled out his Treo camera phone and began recording the incident. He later learned that the plates belonged to McCord. Osburn's video includes a shot of his speedometer reading 100 MPH as he attempts to keep pace with the speeding solon. McCord admits he was late for a hearing and was speeding, but not by that much. 'I'm sure I was speeding, I was late for a meeting," McCord told WKRN-TV. "I don't think it was reckless, I think I was speeding.' In August, Senate Majority Leader Ron Ramsey was videotaped speeding at 94 MPH in the heavy rain. Ramsey denies he was driving that fast."

"NASHVILLE (AP) - State Rep. Joe McCord of Maryville has acknowledged speeding for up to an hour en route to Nashville this week. McCord, a Republican, said he was in a hurry because he was late for a meeting Monday. His trip on Interstate 40 was videotaped by another motorist, Alan Osburn of Franklin. The tape was shown Tuesday night on WKRN TV in Nashville. Osburn said McCord came up behind him in a truck at high speed and flashed his lights. He said he noticed the truck had a legislative license plate so he taped McCord driving in order to document what happened. McCord was not arrested. He told the station that Osburn is 'just wanting to make a statement' by taping him and not others who passed him."

"Citing good news as justification, a judge in Nashville, Tennessee canceled 72 tickets on February 16 -- including one for the Speaker of the state House of Representatives. Representative Jimmy Naifeh (D) had been caught driving 86 MPH in a 70 MPH zone on Interstate 40 outside of Bellevue on December 28. He says he was ready to go through the process 'just like everybody else' when General Sessions Court Judge Casey E. Moreland decided to do things differently. Naifeh had passed Moreland in the hallway just prior to entering the courtroom. Moreland then declared 'Christmas in February' and retired all traffic tickets brought before him on the 12:30pm docket that day, including Naifeh's. Moreland explained that he had just learned he was unopposed in his bid for re-election to the court. Moreland, a lifelong Democrat, was first elected to the bench in 1995. Tickets that are "retired" may be revived if the motorist receives a traffic citation within one year."

"A Tennessee mayor spewed racial slurs, attempted to set up foes for arrest, and tried to boost his town's traffic ticket revenue by specifically profiling soldiers and Hispanics, according to a lawsuit seeking the politician's ouster from office. In a complaint filed yesterday in Robertson County Chancery Court, the State of Tennessee portrays Coopertown Mayor Danny Crosby as a boorish nutcase who has soiled the reputation of the 3176-resident city, which is located about 25 miles north of Nashville. The state lawsuit, an excerpt of which you'll find below, includes an array of shocking charges, including the claim that, after swearing in a new police officer on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the mayor congratulated the cop by saying, "Happy James Earl Ray Day." Crosby, pictured above, also allegedly sought to boost his city's revenue by setting up speed traps and directing police to "engage in profiling soldiers of the United States Armed Services" since he believed that enlisted persons "would tend to mail in their fines rather to come to Court to contest the Citations." Crosby also thought Hispanics, who were "mostly illegal anyway," would also avoid court, the complaint charges. As such, Crosby encouraged giving multiple citations to Hispanics, remarking, "We can give them all the tickets we want." Crosby was elected mayor in November 2004."

"Most Charlotteans probably remember Min Chang, the 18-year-old UNCC freshman killed by an illegal immigrant driving the wrong way on I-485 in November. Geronimo Leocadio Villa-Gomez had a blood-alcohol level of .20 when he ran off the road and plowed into Grier, who died at the scene. Officials with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) say Villa-Gomez was in this country illegally. A lot of people assumed most of the drunk drivers killing people on the county's roads were American citizens. As it turns out, that assumption is wrong. At the moment, 11 drunk-driving cases that resulted in the death of another person are pending in our court system. In six of those cases, the drivers are in this country illegally. At least three of the six men have been charged with drunk driving at least once before. I say "at least" because, as a group, the six men have about two dozen aliases. If our politicians had enforced our immigration laws, the victims in these cases, who died horrible deaths, would likely still be alive. Like every other illegal alien who has breached our borders, his first act upon stepping foot in our country was to break our immigration laws. Within a decade, inexperienced illegal drivers will get drunk and kill roughly 70 people in this county."

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — "An illegal immigrant who drove a van into a house, striking a 91-year-old woman who later died, will be deported, despite a request from the victim's relatives that the driver be allowed to "become a contributing member of society," a prosecutor said. Hamilton County Assistant District Attorney Jay Woods, acting at the request of the accident victim's family, agreed to a sentence of probation for Vitalina Bautista-Vargas as part of a plea agreement that a judge approved Monday. Woods said he tried to obey the family's wishes when negotiating the plea deal. 'They expressed a desire that we find a way to return (the defendant) to society and help her become a contributing member of society,' Woods said. He said federal immigration officials intervened and want the woman deported to Guatemala. With the aid of an interpreter, Bautista-Vargas, 30, pleaded guilty Monday to vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of the June 27 accident. A van driven by Bautista-Vargas careened into the house of 91-year-old Lovella Winton on June 27. Winton was sleeping when the van crashed through her bedroom wall. She died days later at a hospital. Woods said Bautista-Vargas was driving 'at a high rate of speed and without experience.' Johnny Houston, an attorney for Bautista-Vargas, said the likely deportation was not a surprise. Houston said he chose not to go to trial so his client would not have to sit in jail for six months in the interim. "The bottom line is when you are illegal they can deport you and do it no matter what you do," Houston said. He said Bautista-Vargas would have to wait at least 10 years to apply for legal entry to the United States. The driver's husband, who also does not speak English, was in court Monday and occasionally wiped away tears as the judge discussed the prospect that his wife would be deported. Houston said the husband is in the country legally and the victim's family is 'extremely forgiving.' Judge Don Poole said the probation sentence would apply unless Bautista-Vargas is deported. Immigration officials did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment."

"The drunken motorist who fatally injured a California Highway Patrol officer Saturday night is a suspected illegal immigrant from Mexico who was driving without a license, officials said Monday. Domingo Esqueda, 20, of Adelanto had a blood-alcohol level three times the legal limit when he veered off northbound Interstate 15 near Oak Hill Road and crashed into CHP Officer Gregory Bailey's motorcycle and a parked pickup truck, CHP officials said. He was arrested for vehicular manslaughter and drunken driving. At the time of his arrest, he was found in possession of multiple forms of identification with different names, officials said. Bailey, 36, of Adelanto, was on his way home when he pulled over a pickup truck. He was talking with the pickup truck driver when Esqueda slammed into his motorcycle and the parked truck. Rich noted that all of the officers who had been killed since September -- three of whom were killed by an alleged drunken driver -- were correctly following all safety procedures. Bailey was a 10-year veteran of the CHP and had previously been assigned to the Barstow station. He had recently returned from a 15-month tour of duty in Iraq with the Army National Guard. Bailey is survived by his wife and four young children."

Fox says, 'Apparently two officers was in route to a disturbance suicide call and the first officer went by and the second officer hit her.' Fox continued, 'Neither one of the officers seen her when they struck her at the time. There was no skid marks at the scene, none whatsoever...The state highway patrolman kept telling us that it was a dark intersection, but it's dark every night.' The deputy who struck Lowe, Allen Russell, was released for the remainder of his shift Saturday morning. He is off for the next few days."

"A 22-year-old Maryville man has been charged with aggravated assault after he allegedly struck a Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper with his motorcycle, then fled the scene on the Dragon. Trooper Brent Cagle was investigating a fatal motorcycle accident between Mile Markers 5 and 6 on the Dragon Tuesday when he was injured by another motorcyclist. Cagle said he was still at the scene of a 1:27 p.m. crash that killed a Florida law enforcement officer when he heard the whine of a motorcycle engine coming down the mountain rapidly. He said he stopped what he was doing and watched for the fast-moving vehicle to reach the accident scene. According to Cagle's report, the motorcycle rounded the curve traveling well over the posted (but illegal and invalid) speed limit of 30 miles per hour (bullshit - eyeballs are not calibrated). Cagle said he stepped out into the center of the roadway and held out his hands signaling the motorcycle to stop (which is not a valid method of stopping vehicles on a dangerous highway). The motorcycle came to a halt in the lane where he had been traveling and Cagle said he told the driver to pull over to the shoulder on the opposite side of the twisting two-lane road. 'There was no shoulder on the right side,' Cagle said. 'That's where the other motorcycle had gone off.' The trooper said the man, operating the Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R, moved a few feet forward and to the left, stopping in the on-coming traffic lane. Cagle said he again told the man to pull off on the shoulder but the man raised the face mask on his helmet and asked, 'Am I in trouble?' Cagle said he instructed the man for the third time to move to the shoulder 'Now!' Cagle said he was concerned that a vehicle traveling up the mountain would round the curve and be unable to stop before striking both the stopped motorcycle and the trooper standing on the pavement (the valid legal defense of "Necessity"). Instead of obeying the order to move to the shoulder, Cagle said the motorcyclist turned his wheel to the right, as though he was starting a U-turn to head back up the mountain and across the state line in to North Carolina. The trooper ran toward the motorcycle and, instead of completing the turn, he said the driver straightened his handle bars and drove at the trooper who was then six or seven feet away from the motorcycle. Cagle tried to sidestep and grab (assault) the man on the motorcycle, but the impact near the center of his body knocked him backward and off the ground. He hit the pavement on his left shoulder and the left side of his face as the motorcycle sped away. Cagle said he was unable to pursue the fleeing man due to the traffic fatality investigation he needed to complete. It appeared the motorcyclist had gotten away. On Wednesday, Cagle said he is glad that most law enforcement vehicle's including those used by the Tennessee Highway Patrol are now equipped with video cameras. He said cameras provide documentation and clues that often lead to an arrest. On Thursday, Cagle traced the temporary tag on the motorcycle that left the scene by using the dates on the tag and the type of motorcycle displaying the tag (and prove the copster perped dozens of criminal misdemeanors and felonies that same day). Cagle checked the Tennessee driver's license photo on file for the person to whom the temporary tag was issued and confirmed the identity of the motorcyclist. Cagle said he planned to try to locate Daniel Thomas Elson Jr., 21, of Morganton Road, Maryville, on Friday. However, as he left the Maryville THP office Thursday afternoon, he recognized the motorcycle and its operator coming down Home Avenue. He made a traffic stop and took Elson into custody. Elson was booked at the Blount County Jail on a charge of aggravated assault at 6:30 p.m. Friday. Cagle also issued citations charging him with reckless driving and misdemeanor fleeing to avoid arrest. Elson is free on a $1,000 bond pending a 1:30 p.m. Aug. 24 appearance in Blount County General Sessions Court. Time for bikers to join the jury pool."

Better than safe sex: Surviving The Dragon


Bikes COUNTERSTEER ass backwards to cars and tricycles above 5mph according to Wright Brothers aerospace engineering in 1890AD - Note that front wheel is countersteering in this photo by Kawasaki - Ground clearance and leaning are mandatory for motorcycle survival - Graphics by John Lee and Pirate News TV

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self evident. Marrying means to halve one's rights and double one's duties, to grasp blindfold into a sack hoping to find out an eel out of an assembly of snakes."
—Arthur Schopenhauer (quoted in Keith Code's book, A Twist of the Wrist II, Author's Note, "Applied Technology - Countersteering", California Superbike School)

"Steering happens backwards. Many riders have learned to steer a motorcycle without understanding the process. Steering is simple enough—you push the bars in the opposite direction of the direction you wish to travel. That begins the turn, and the bike leans as it turns. Deliberately turning the bars in the opposite direction of travel is known as counter steering. To go right you must turn the bars to the left—to go left, turn the bars to the right. Counter steering is the only way you can direct a motorcycle to steer accurately. In essence, motorcycle steering is backwards from most other forms of transportation. An automobile goes in the direction you turn the wheel, as do most other forms of transportation. One problem we have in learning to ride stems from a cruel trick played on us by our parents. They gave us a tricycle to pedal around. A tricycle turns in the direction you steer it. When we rode a bicycle for the first time, we fell down, and everyone said it was because we didn't have good balance. Actually, it was because bicycles also counter steer. Balance had nothing to do with it! The confusion is caused because the child expects the bike to go right when he turns to the right. Eventually, out of sheer survival instincts, he goes through the steering motions without understanding them and winds up on a motorcycle 15 years later not knowing what he has been doing to go around turns. Most riders, in an emergency, try to turn the bike in the direction they want to go. I have known people who who have ridden for 30 years without having to face an emergency situation. Then, one day a car pulls out in front of them. They try to avoid it but the bike won't do what they want it to. So they get scared and quit riding. They realize that the control they thought was there—wasn't."

Improve the quality of our bike riding skills seems to be the most blindingly obvious response. Bikes will never be as safe as cars and we are always going to hurt ourselves - which is part of the allure I suppose - but it would be a shame if, by doing nine-tenths of fuck all, the government legislated our fun away. Just a thought."

"I've just returned from a Swansea hospital after visiting my brother-in-law, Carl, who had an accident on one of the first good days of the year. Carl's an experienced rider and MV owner, and a group of us left Worcestershire that mornihg heading towards Crossgates in Wales. We got there, had breakfast in and then headed back home. Unfortunately, our return journey ended only seven miles from Crossgates when Carl collided head on with a Kawasaki ZX-6R that was on his side of the road on the wrong side of the road on a left handed bend coming towards us. This was one of four bikes and we believe that more than one was on the wrong side of the road. Carl had to be airlifted to hospital. Carl now has injuries similar to the late Barry Sheen. The entry to the airport departure lounge will never be the same again! His injuries at present include 2 broken hands, broken pelvis (plated and bolted), broken leg (rod), and collar bone (plated). This doesn't include the catheter that he had to have inserted that he was not too chuffed about either!"

Question: "What is the use of climbing Mt. Everest?"
Answer: "Because it is there. And my answer must at once be: It is no use. There is not the slightest prospect of any gain whatsoever. Oh, we may learn a little about the behavior of the human body at high altitudes, and possibly some medical men may turn our observation to some account for the purposes of aviation. But otherwise nothing will come of it. We shall not bring back a single bit of gold or silver, not a gem, nor any coal or iron. We shall not find a single foot of earth that can be planted with crops to raise food. So, if you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain and goes out to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself, upward and forever upward, then you won't see why we go. What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what life is for."
—George Mallory, 1922 [The first human to climb Mt. Everest? Died on Mt. Everest on June 8, 1924. His mummy (found with other missing mummies) were located by Chinese climbers in 1975 (who themselves died by avalanch one day after confessing their discovery), and positively identified by NOVA TV climbers in 1999, then buried at peace at 26,000 feet altitude overlooking mystical Tibet], PBS TV, NOVA, "Lost on Everest"

"Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created. He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass. Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps. Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word: Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars."
—Psalms 148:6-9, Christian Bible, King James Version

"And in that same place there was a great dragon, which they of Babylon worshipped. But give me leave, O king, and I shall slay this dragon without sword or staff. The king said, I give thee leave. When they of Babylon heard that, they took great indignation, saying, he hath slain the dragon."

Got Fear?

"It was supposed to be a routine appearance on a Discovery Channel Bike Build Off, but something went horribly wrong August 29th in Concord, North Carolina. Master bike builder and television personality Larry Desmedt, known to his fans as Indian Larry, fell off his Rat Fink bike while attempting his Iron Cross stunt [by standing on the seat - without a helmet]. Dixie Rider photographer, Ron Fisher, who witnessed the accident, said the bike began to wobble and Larry couldn't maintain his balance and fell to the asphalt, violently striking his head. 'He just laid there without moving. The emergency personnel were right there in seconds, but he never moved. They loaded him in the helicopter and took off.' A few spectators claim they heard the bike's engine sputter, which may have caused it to become unsteady."

Track Day shooting star Robyn McCrone - photo by TailOfTheDragon.com

"Robyn McCrone, a friend of many riders in the area including Nancy and I and Ken Wheeler, was killed in a motorcycle vs car accident on the Cherohala Skyway in the early afternoon. Another motrocycle also hit the car and rider is in serious condition. The accident occurred near the 17 mile marker on the Tennessee side. One cycle hit the driver's side and the other cycle hit the passenger side. No charges have been filed according to Tennessee Highway Patrol. Robyn, a frequent rider with us at Sportbike Track Time, was from Ft. Lauderdale Florida and was riding with her husband Mark."
—Ron Johnson, TailOfTheDragon.com, "BULLETIN -- TRAGEDY ON THE CHEROHALA", September 25, 2004

"The cold hard facts of life and death presented itself to me between Friday night and Saturday. Last night (Friday) I said a few sentences to a woman on a Honda 954 from Florida, as she completed getting gas at the store at Deals Gap. I didn't know her but I had seen her a few other times so I said something that I don't even remember now, i.e. small talk. This evening I find out that she had been killed on the Cherohala this afternoon less than 24 hours after I had spoken to her. Facts (at least I believe they are fact): She was a friend of Francois, and this information was from Francois as of 9:30 pm Saturday night as he was going home after having helped do paper work regarding organ donation. She was killed instantly, massive trama to the head and chest. She impacted a car in the left head light area. She was riding about 45 mph into a right hand turn on the Cherohala. She was behind Francois with another person behind her, her husband was with the group but I don't know his position in the group. Francois saw her bike in the air in his rear view mirror. The rider behind her impacted the car between the passenger doors. Francois and the husband were not involved with the crash. Information but not known fact (did I get the story correct): Speed does not appear to be a factor but driving in the proper lane does. The car (Lincoln town car) appeared to have cut way into the oncoming lane enough so that the women that died attempted to avoid the car by going left while in a right hand turn, resulting in the impact near the car's right (passenger) headlight (but her left in relation to her direction of travel). It appears she nearly made it but the car impacted her body as the bike is not damaged as if it impacted the car head-on. The car driver attempted correction into proper lane preventing a head on collision with the next motorcyclist but resulting in the collision between the passenger doors of the car. A criminal investigation is underway. An older (60+) couple were in the car, but the driver of the car is unclear, as it appeared to be the women at the time of the accident but the man reported that he was driving."

"A husband and wife were killed and another man suffered a broken hip in separate motorcycle crashes in Blount County Sunday afternoon. According to the National Park Service, the first crash occurred at 3:14 p.m. on Foothills Parkway near the Look Rock observation area. Rangers were investigating the accident and did not release the names, ages or personal information of the victims, said Nancy Gray with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. According to Gray, the accident happened when a Nissan minivan traveling eastbound on Foothills Parkway crossed the center line and had a head-on collision with a man and woman riding a Honda Goldwing motorcycle. The couple was pronounced dead at the scene, and two males and a juvenile in the minivan were taken by Rural/Metro Ambulance Service to Blount Memorial Hospital for treatment, Gray said. When asked if any charges were filed, Gray said an investigation is continuing. National Park Service rangers, along with Blount County Rescue Squad personnel, Blount County Fire Department personnel, Blount County Sheriff's Office deputies and Rural/Metro Ambulance Service personnel responded to the crash. Traffic was blocked near the intersection of Foothills Parkway and East Lamar Alexander Parkway. The intersection was clogged several times when motorcycle riders stopped to ask about the situation. While none of the individuals parked near intersection knew the individuals involved in the crash, they said Foothills Parkway is a very easy road to navigate. `This is just a fun, nice ride,' Sevierville attorney Ken Gilleand said. Sevierville resident Steve Madison agreed. `This is like the Blue Ridge Parkway,' he said. `It's nice and easy.' The second motorcycle crash occurred at 4:51 p.m. about 4 miles from the North Carolina-Tennessee state line on a 13-mile stretch of road motorcycle enthusiasts call ``The Dragon'' because of its numerous curves and switch backs. According to THP Trooper Stephen Parsley, Clark P. Searle, 38, Clarksville, was traveling northbound on Calderwood Highway when the 2000 model Harley-Davidson ran off road and hit the mountain. `He went through a hair-pin turn and hit an embankment,' Parsley said. A landing zone was set up near Chilhowee Dam on Calderwood Highway, and traffic stopped when Lifestar helicopter landed. Minutes later, a Rural/Metro ambulance brought Searle to the landing zone and he was airlifted to University of Tennessee Medical Center where he was listed in stable condition."

"BULLETIN - Tragedy Strikes the Dragon - Two riders lost their lives on the Dragon within 24 hours. David Workman age 48 of Alva, Fla, who had been riding with his 14 year old son on the back of his BMW had been reported missing on Thursday night. At 11 am Friday his son crawled to the roadway and summonded help. His father had run off the road at Rocket Corner and been killed. Another death occurred at about 1:15 pm Friday when 62 year old Jack Wolfe of Hagerstown Maryland ran off the road with his Buell just south of the Overlook. This should be a reminder to all riders how dangerous the Dragon can be. Please slow down and ride within your limits."

"Two motorcyclists were killed and another injured within hours of each other Friday in two separate wrecks along the winding stretch of Highway 129 in Blount County, known as 'The Dragon.' David J. Workman, 48, of Alva, Fla., died after losing control of his 2005 BMW 1200 cycle, which left the roadway and struck a tree just after 11 a.m., according to a Tennessee Highway Patrol report. His passenger, 14-year-old Sergio Workman, was injured in the wreck, although no information was available on his condition. Both riders were wearing helmets. A short time later, at 1 p.m., Jack Wolfe, 62, of Hagerstown, Md. was killed when he lost control of his 2004 Buell XD12R motorcycle and went over an embankment, striking several trees. Wolfe also was wearing a helmet."

"I really think the lack of road markings contributed to the first accident. It's a fairly tricky left-hander heading south, and there is a road off to the right. The road striping stops for a major section of the turn there, and folks get confused as to which way to go. There really should be some dotted lines there...I'm going to see if we can get TDOT to properly mark it. If not I'll do it myself. There were a couple of other pretty serious accidents, including one guy that lost a leg on the Cherohala Skyway. I was told that a group of sports cars came around a curve in his lane and caused him to crash, and didn't even stop to help."
-Killboy.coom<, July 27, 2005

"Ya know, this whole lane crossing thing has been bothering me for a long time, and last weekend's events were the last straw. I'm not going to stand back and just shake my head at how this problem is not being addressed. Imagine if the LEOs put as much effort into catching lane crossers as they put into busting chops for 55 in a 50. I'm working on a campaign to do something about this... we can all do something about this fairly easily. I'll explain more soon, but for now I could use a simplified graphic of a car going around a curve in the wrong lane, and a motorcycle approaching in the oncomming lane. Something similar to this, but with the car traveling 'away' from the camera, and the motorcycle just coming out from behind the bank, about to collide with the car. If anyone can find or create something like this, I will love you forever. It needs to be very simplified, like the AOL guy, and 2-color (black/white) in design, so we can cut it on a vinyl plotter. Now this graphic may not sit well with some of our sports car enthusiast friends, but this is not aimed at all car drivers. Typically, sports car drivers are good about staying in their lane... similar to motorcycle riders. These graphics will be used to quickly educate tourists who may not be familiar with the responsibilities of driving a vehicle that is suddenly 10 times heavier than surrounding traffic."

"Two young Middle Tennessee men have been arraigned on federal murder charges in connection with a deadly car race through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The race, at up to 100 miles-per-hour, ended with a crash into a car of Virginia vacationers, killing five people. The accident in March 2005 was the park's single deadliest wreck in history. Nineteen-year-old Jonathan Matthew Hall of Lebanon and 20-year-old Steven A. Williams of Murfreesboro each face five counts of second-degree murder and a possible life sentence if convicted. U.S. Magistrate Clifford Shirley set their trial for March 29. The March 26 collision occurred at 10:00 p.m. on a Saturday night along the twisting stretch of U.S. Highway 441 known as 'the Spur' linking the tourist towns of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Park officials said Wednesday that speeding on the stretch is a serious problem."

"How do police get off refusing to sue traffic citations or make arrests of 4-wheelers and truck drivers who KILL people when they cross the center line? I got a 'reckless driving' citation for riding my rusty Honda Nighthawk at 50mph in a 55-zone on Interstate 40/75. The cop who dared accuse me of 'recklessly' changing lanes (without causing a crash) had crashed his patrol car into innocent bystanders 4 times in 5 years, without any citation, nor points on his license. Case dismissed. Two weeks later, when Knoxville Journal published my newspaper article about Knoxville officials condoning a cop-killing of an off-duty motorcycle cop, my parked car was stolen from my own private property by a crime spree of police and cop-killing mafia tow-truckers. I reported the car as "stolen'. Six weeks later, I got a tow bill for $750. Police 'detectives' never did find the car, and I had to report its 'discovery' to them, to remove it from the stolen-car database on NCIC computer. It turns out the cop who was ordered to steal my legally-parked car had killed a woman in an off-duty car crash, without any traffic citation nor arrest. In 2003, a second car of mine was stolen by tow-truckers from a car dealership, without ever contacting me to report the tow theft. When I located the car myself a few weeks later, they refused to give me a written invoice for their illegal $1,500 tow 'debt', and attempted to steal my vehicle title with help from Tennessee Department of 'Safety' police. After filing an Affidavit of Criminal Complaint, I got over 50 tow-trucking car thieves fired from City of Knoxville Municipal Corporation in 2003, for what city council and the mayor called 'racketeering and organized crime'. Yet KPD covered its ass to protect its own car-thieving gang of copsters, notwithstanding 3 class actions, including one filed by City of Knoxville Corporation against its own car-thieving employees for fraud on city contracts. I even got the court clerk in Knoxville City Court fired for fraud, theft, and extortion of subordinates 'bonus' paychecks, after he testified in court that he kept a Top-Secret court docket, with zero accountability of 125,000 annual 'misdemeanor' citations, mainly parking tickets - and $100,000s in unrecorded court revenues. Even on The Dragon, I was nearly hit head-on by a Blount County Sheriff's deputy when he pulled out of the Overlook halfway in my lane, in a blind curve. And these are the 'professionals' in charge of highway safety and suing and arresting US for alleged traffic 'violations'. What's NOT wrong with this picture?"

"Two Blount County state troopers are off the streets due to a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) probe into their ticket writing. Rick Harmon and Stephen Parsley are on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of the TBI investigation. The TBI wants to know why several tickets were issued to a dead man, Antonio Flores. He was on his way to work the morning of September 16 when he turned into the path of an oncoming truck. Lifestar flew Flores to UT Medical Center. Trooper Rick Harmon investigated the crash and gave Flores five tickets for issues including no driver's license and failure to yield. A court date was set for October 21, but Flores died at the hospital the day of the accident. But 11 days later, on September 27, Flores' name came up on five additional citations, this time written by Trooper Stephen Parsley. While both reports list Antonio Flores as the violator and both say his violations happened on U.S. Highway 411, the similarities stop there. For example, Trooper Harmon says the accident happened at mile marker 3, but Trooper Parsley claims it was at mile marker 2. And that is not the only difference; Parsley's report lists a different date and a different time for the accident. Additionally, there is no birth date for Flores listed on Harmon's report, but Parsley's says October 17, 1978, putting Flores at age 26. However, Flores' death certificate lists his age as 53. Parsley claims Flores was speeding, doing 72 in a 55 zone. And while Flores couldn't sign for his tickets on September 16, because he was on his way to the hospital where he later died, somehow, on September 27, his signature ended up at the bottom of the citation issued by Trooper Parsley. Beth Denton, spokesperson for the Tennessee Highway Patrol says that there is no 'ticket quota' that troopers are required to meet. She also says that all ticket activity is closely monitored by the state agency."

"Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction. They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper. They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me. Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud. And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me. Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me. Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance. For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living. Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction. Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor? When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness. My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me. I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation. I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls."

On Saturday, I "attended" the 2004 Dragon RATRaid (Riders Association of Triumph). They did rides all weekend, HQed at Tapoco Lodge at Deals Gap. Speed TV was there, with Corbin's Ride On. When I arrived, they were filming at the CRoTchroads of Time, so I made sure to top up on gas in the background. They ran a camera truck up and down The Dragon and the surrounding scenic byways, finishing up filming at Tapoco Lodge.

Am I a snob for riding a Triumph? Not really - I just liked buying the cheapest 600 sportbike on the market, basically getting a free top-of-the-line full leathers with my savings. 40mpg with a 160mph Speed Limit. If the New World Odor won't allow US Inc. to manufacture anything, much less RACE-replica sportbikes, at least I could purchase something made where they speak the Queen's English (sort of). Hell, I just bought a new "Assembled-In-USA" Chevy Cavalier, and its engine was made in Mexico, its trannie was from Italy, and the rest was from Canada (which is now officially classified as part of the USA under WTO). My new computer for this website was made by slaves in Communist China. Alcoa's local radio station 1470AM just started broadcasting in Mexican, just like Knoxville's divorce-court judges on CTV channel. I'm even forced to buy my prescription antibiotics from Mexico, since no American civilian or military doctor is allowed to treat Gulf War Syndrome. American jobs - who needs 'em?

Apparently, Triumph is now manufactured in Scotland by crossdressers, at least for the parts not made in Japan. The Triumph newsletter said "you can't wear anything under a kilt, or it's a skirt." The Speed TV host, Brian Jackson, kept making jokes on TV about being "fags" (before edit, presumably - homos, not cigarettes). His producer would jump on the bike with him and they'd "pretend" to be quite the gay couple (with remarkably accurate "British" accents). I kept my full leathers tightly zipped, after that. I think I skeered the panties off a few of them on The Dragon, passing groups of Triumphs in fender-to-fender "high-speed" traffic (i.e., braking for 20mph hairpins). They were damn fast old geezers (probably faster than me), just a bit panzy in the overtaking maneuvers (too many blind corners to memorize). I was close enough to flip off their ignition switches mid-corner. Just good, clean, safe fun.

Then I heard about the deaths, and it wasn't as much fun anymore. Especially when I heard a THP trooper at he Overlook talk skeert about seeing several bikers with their heads chopped off, from underride crashes into tractor-trailers stuck on The Dragon (and the surrounding area). That took the wind out of my skirt. 'Underride' crashes are common with cars hitting big trucks. I once worked on a wrongful-death lawsuit, and poster-sized photos were prepared for the jury to see what instant death looked like, for an SUV driver who rear-ended a parked tractor trailor at Interstate speed. And, a former manager at Honda of Alcoa told me he witnessed his uncle killed on The Dragon, after underriding a tractor-trailer stuck in the wrong lane. Helmets don't protect a bare neck. So I had a 'good' visual of what the trooper was talking about.

Oh yeah, my bike was shod with Pirelli Diablo ('Devil') tires, and 'dragon' is another name for 'Satan'. Bad omens?

"Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death."
—Psalms 44:18-19, Christian Bible, King James Version

"And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

—Harry Callahan (a/k/a Clint Eastwood), Sudden Impact

I didn't want to make anybody's day, except mine, nor give the Devil his due. I did feel a little lucky, if only for surviving The Devil, er, Dragon, so far. But I suddenly felt very tired, and decided to ride home, instead of making another run. Just stay focused and concentrate, and try not to daydream or get in a rush, and hopefully I'd live to slay another day.

Regarding "TRAGEDY ON THE CHEROHALA", the THP cop at the Overlook confirmed the car was in the wrong lane. One eyewitness rumor was the dead lady rider was not wearing leathers and body armor - a major problem with a closing speed of 90mph (45mph + 45mph). She made a gutsy move to the opposite lane in her attempt to cut outside the mobile 2-ton chicane. On the Dragon, I often wonder if I would try that if the need arose - and could I pull it off? Although I practice Countersteering continuously every day I ride, do I really have it drilled into my subconscious, where it will engage my autopilot in decreasing radius, downhill, off-camber blind turns, dodging sticks with oncoming traffic in my lane?

I hope TN legislature doesn't name another highway for killers of biker tourists. AMA is still boycotting Tennessee, Knoxville and Blount County for naming Interstate I-140 in Alcoa for a convicted hit-and-run killer, alcoholic crack-head drug-kingpin senator Carl Koella. Maybe now that state senator Claybough was whupped in the 2004 RepubliCon primary, his replacement will allow that insane law to be flushed down the crapper as the turd that it is.

"You're driving along U.S. Route 321 in Tennessee, and you see a billboard designating it the "Terry Barnard Memorial Highway." What's it mean? Those billboards, erected by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA), are a response to the decision by state legislators in Tennessee to name a nearby stretch of Interstate 140 after the late Sen. Carl Koella. Koella may have served the state well for many years, but in 1996 he was involved in a hit-and-run accident that resulted in the death of motorcyclist Terry Barnard. Koella turned his van left into the path of Barnard's motorcycle on Route 321 near where the AMA's billboards are located. The motorcyclist tried to avoid a crash, but he hit the side of the van, then ran into a car stopped behind it. As Terry Barnard lay dying by the side of the road, witnesses said Koella stopped, got out of his van, looked around, then drove away. He later pleaded no contest to leaving the scene of a fatal accident. The AMA does not oppose appropriate actions honoring Koella's long career in public office, but naming a highway after a driver who left a man dying in the road is more than just an insult -- it's outrageous. Tennessee has decided to honor its hit-and-run senator by naming a highway after him. The AMA has decided his victim deserves at least the same honor. That's why you'll see billboards along Route 321 declaring it the 'Terry Barnard Memorial Highway.'"

"In many ways, the whole Janklow fiasco (see "Governor/Congressman Janklow Gets 100 Days," page 24) reminds me of another tragic incident seven years ago, when a van driven by state Sen. Carl Koella of Tennessee turned left into the path of AMA member Terry Barnard, who was killed instantly. Koella copped a plea, was fined $2,500 and "sentenced" to 30 days of community service. For killing another human being. Worse, after Koella died a year later, the Tennessee Legislature passed a resolution naming a highway after him. That’s like naming a bank after John Dillinger. We organized a campaign against that designation, raising money to pay for billboards naming the highway where this crash occurred after Terry Barnard, Koella’s victim, instead. And I, along with many of you, made a personal pledge not to visit the two counties the proposed Carl Koella Memorial Highway traversed if the signs were ever posted (to this day, they haven’t been)."

"On October 22, 1996, after receiving an "advisory letter" from the DMV two years before warning that his license was about to be revoked due to excessive "points, Tennessee State Senator Carl Koella struck and killed 52 year old Terry Barnard, retired General Motors engineer and motorcyclist. After stopping to see that Barnard was dead, he is said to have admitted his guilt to others that had stopped, then drove home. The case was handled in the typically "good old white boy" system that has sadly given the South its redneck stigma. Although indicted by a grand jury for felony hit and run, the Senator was slapped on the hand and sentenced to 30 days of community service after pleading no contest to misdemeanor hit and run. On January 14, 1998, still serving Senator Koella died of heart trouble, having served 26 years in office. Months after his death, his insurance company settled a wrongful death lawsuit for $1.5 million. On April 7, 1999, to honor the former Senator, Tennessee legislature passed and Governor Don Sundquist signed Senate Bill 923, sponsored by Koella's chosen successor. This bill did not rename a state building, or a state park, or another state project to honor his 26 years of service. No, the state of Tennessee, in what many outside the state called completely callous, designated "that segment of Interstate Highway 140 beginning at its intersection with Interstate 40 in Knox County to its terminus at U.S. Highway 321 in Blount County is hereby designated as the "Senator Carl O. Koella, Jr.. Memorial Highway" as a lasting tribute to this exemplary public servant". Note - before turning in front of Terry Barnard later that evening, Senator Koella had visited Rockford, Tennessee with Governor Sundquist. In 2002, the Rockford Police Department was disbanded after a police sergeant was charged with intentionally swerving into the path of a motorcyclist, killing him."
—DeadlyRoads.com, "Can You Believe It? Bizarre Hit and Run Cases or News - Slap in The Face"

"We have all seen the stories over the past few years of motorcyclist being killed with little or no justice being enforced for causing a death. Most recently we have been reading about US Representative Bill Janklow killing motorcyclist Randolph Scott last year. Not only did he receive what some would call a light sentence of 100 days in a County Jail; he will be eligible for work release after 30 days. Janklow, on the witness stand, admitted to driving over the speed limit at times and has failed to stop at stop signs on occasion. Other instances that stand out include the 2002 death of a motorcyclist on a California highway where the driver of a pickup slammed into Gary Michael Kunich, killing him. The pickup driver's lawyer was quoted in an AMA article as saying 'It's a tragic traffic accident' but 'it's a risk that motorcyclists take.' One final reference was the 2000 case of the late Senator Carl Koella from Tennessee getting a stretch of Interstate 140 renamed in his honor. Interstate 140 is near County 321, the road where Senator Koella was involved in the hit and run accident that killed motorcyclist Terry Barnard in 1996. Later, Senator Koella pleaded no contest to leaving the scene of an accident. We at MMM have a homework assignment for you this year. We want you to write a letter to your elected officials and explain to them, in your own words, that motorcyclists are part of the transportation system in the United States. We pay for the right to use our interstate, county and local roads through the same sales, fuel, and license taxes as any other vehicle on the road and trivializing the deaths of motorcyclists because it is 'a risk motorcyclists take' is not acceptable."

The THP cop confessed the Dragon is unfit for truckers (since they routinely get stuck in the hairpin turns, blocking both lanes). When he confessed he'd seen several riders decapitated in "underride" crashes on The Dragon, of course he said nothing about trying to get large trucks banned from that section of road. I only know of one "decapitation" from an underride crash on The Dragon, the uncle of a former manager at Honda of Alcoa. He probably meant he's seen a lot of decapitations/fatal head injuries of cars and bikes on East Tennessee roads, since THP's main job is writing reports for all car crashes. Decapitations and fatal head trauma kill 1,000s in Big-Truck underride crashes, even for SUV drivers. Doesn't THP have a procedure to identify roads in need of DOT signs?

Last week I photographed a tractor trailer that tipped over on the Dragon at 15mph, in a blind turn. After the crash, he was passed by another tractor trailor, both driving from NC to TN, due to I40 closure from rockslides, without a clearly marked detour route. The crashed trucker was not ticketed, but probably paid a huge fee to the tow trucker driver, plus lost wages for 6 hours wasted time. I think he also busted a fuel tank, dripping diesel all over the northbound lane. I suppose there is no ticket or arrest for "failure to maintain control" or "reckless driving" since no drugs or alcohol or racing are allegedly involved. Why don't they do the common sense thing and ban all big trucks at The Gap, saving the truckers huge tow bills and lost wages? A suspicious raving paranoid lunatic might think Big Bro uses its user-unfriendly highway system as a branch of Family-Planning eugenics.

This is the key to the fatality yesterday, and why the driver and passenger allegedly switched seats, which is a classic example of a "drunk" driver swapping with a "sober" or "less drunk" driver to avoid arrest for DUI (or "unlicensed" driver, often after a previous DUI conviction). Any admission to drinking alcohol in the past 24 hours is all that's required for an arrest and conviction. There is no "passing score" for blood-alcohol level or drug level (including all medications and OTC meds), since a person is already under arrest BEFORE a so-called blood-alcohol or breath-alcohol test is "ordered" (pure alcohol has no "odor"). The key element of arrest for "vehicular homicide" is DUI. Without evidence of DUI, there is no arrest for vehicular homicide, which carries a death penalty or life in prison in NC. So if the car's drivers switched, the blood-alcohol test would obviously give a false negative reading. Blood-alcohol tests can only be ordered AFTER an arrest for DUI. If the cops failed to IMMEDITATELY make an arrest, then there is no test for alcohol, and there will never be an arrest for homicide. Unless both car drivers volunteered for blood tests at hospital for injuries from the crash, or for suspected "diabetic coma" (walking talking and driving with total amnesia - the same symptoms as alcoholism), AND that blood was then tested for alcohol, there is no possibility of arrest for DUI homicide. There can apparently be no arrest for vehicular homicide without a DUI arrest.

"Strictly speaking, a driver can register a BAC of 0.00% and still be convicted of a DUI. The level of BAC does not clear a driver when it is below the 'presumed level of intoxication.'"
Tennessee Driver Handbook and Driver License Study Guide (also printed in Mexican language)

"One of the major defects in many methods of blood-alcohol analysis is the failure to identify ethanol (also referred to as ethyl alcohol) to the exclusion of all other chemical compounds. To use the terminology of scientists, such methods are not specific for ethanol: They will detect other compounds as well, identifying any of them as 'ethanol.' Thus a client with other compounds in his blood or breath may have a high 'blood-alcohol' reading with little or no ethanol in his body. If you look at the warranties---it is sort of interesting--- none of the breath machine manufacturers warrant these things to actually test blood alcohol."
—Lawrence Taylor, attorney at law, DUICENTER.COM, Drunk Driving Defense, 5th Edition (2000)

"Just when you thought the Orwellian Big Brother society couldn't possibly accelerate further, it gets even worse. A move is afoot to force 245 million drivers in America to have alcohol breathalyzers fitted in their vehicles, ignition interlocks that prevent the vehicle from being started by an inebriant. 'The threat of arrest and punishment, for decades the primary tactic against drunken drivers, is no longer working in the struggle to reduce the death toll, officials say, and they are proposing turning to technology — alcohol detection devices in every vehicle — to address the problem,' reports the New York Times."

COP-KILLING DRUNK DRIVERS PROMOTED TO WHITE HOUSE AND WORSHIPPED AS GOD BY BLOUNT COUNTY SHERIFF DEPT AND THP - George Bush Jr was arrested, handcuffed, jailed and convicted in court for Drunk Driving DUI DWI, then was promoted to governor of Texas and president of the United States. Bush Jr picked two-time convicted drunk driver Dick Cheney for vice president. Bush and Cheney then massacred 3,000 US citizens on 9/11/2001, massacred 10,000s of US citizens in New Orleans and massacred 650,000 Iraqi citizens, making Bush Jr the most successful cop-killer in US history with over 100 confirmed kills of US traffic cops. MADD Mothers (Copsters) Against Drunk Driving worships Bush as god, despite his arrest and plea bargain to cocaine possession and diversion and expungement in Houston, and his felony conviction for AWOL and demotion to mail clerk for refusing a drug test in Texas Air National Guard

George Bush drunk driver suit is scariest Halloween costume EVER

"Sheriffs, judges and even advocates fighting drunken driving have all criticized the new Tennessee law that uses shame to punish drunken drivers. A governor's task force recently recommended scrapping the law, which makes offenders pick up litter wearing bright orange vests that say, 'I am a Drunk Driver.' The law requires first-time offenders to spend 24 hours in jail and do 24 hours of litter pickup while wearing the embarrassing orange vest. Gov. Phil Bredesen, public safety officials and other experts criticized the bill from the start, saying it would be too expensive. They also didn't like that the bill shortened the jail sentence from 48 to 24 hours. The bill passed on the last day of the 2005 legislative session and took effect Jan. 1 without the governor's signature. Robertson County Sheriff Gene Bollinger said the idea of shaming drunken drivers simply _doesn't work. 'Most people aren't even embarrassed," said Bollinger, who serves as president of the Tennessee Sheriff's Association. "I see them out there just laughing. They're not taking it seriously.'"

POLICE CHASE GEORGE DWI BUSH - This just in from the department of things that seemed like a good idea at the time: Segways, the two-wheeled, gyroscipically-stabilized scooter thingys that we were promised would “sweep over the world and change lives,” fall over. Dean Kamen’s personal mobility company announced this morning that it is initiating a voluntary recall of “all Segway PTs sold to date,” which we reckon is about 23,500 units. According to the company, “A condition has been identified in which the Segway PT can unexpectedly reverse the direction of the wheels which can cause a rider to fall. This can occur when the PT’s Speed Limiter tilts back the machine to slow it down and the rider goes off and then back onto the PT within a short period of time.”

Police chase drunk driver George DWI Bush

George Bush Jr: "I'm the drunk." - CNN - Texas Gov. George W. Bush acknowledged Thursday that in 1976 he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol near his parents' home in Kennebunkport, Maine. Bush, who was 30 at the time, pleaded guilty, paid a $150 fine and his driving privileges were temporarily suspended in Maine. Late Thursday evening, following a campaign rally in this tightly contested Midwestern state, Bush - with his wife, Laura, at his side - told reporters news accounts of the incident were accurate, that he had been drinking in a bar with Australian tennis pro John Newcombe and others. "I'm not proud of that. I made some mistakes. I occasionally drank too much, and I did that night. I learned my lesson. I told the guy (the arresting officer) I had been drinking, what do I need to do? He said, 'here's the fine.' I paid the fine." Bush said the timing of the initial news report, just days before Americans elect a new president, was "interesting."

I'm sure there will eventually be a large wrongful-death civil lawsuit and settlement, unless the car drivers had no insurance and no assets. It would be a good idea for the victims' attorney to immediately track down and place liens on the car drivers' property assets before they can be sold or transferred or spent.

From what I heard at the Triumph RAT at Tapaco Lodge, the woman's empty body was covered with a tarp and her husband was crying and holding her head and stroking her hair. The other injured rider might not survive. This reminds me of racing at Thruxton, England in the British Formula 3 Championship (far too many years ago). A driver was punted by his Hollywood teammate at 150mph into the braking zone for a chicane. He did what open-wheeled, open-cockpit cars sometimes do (especially when chassis are made of carbon fiber and cardboard honeycomb), and disintegrated while climbing the catch-fencing and pole-vaulted into the crowd. You could hear a pin drop except for his sobbing fiance at the crash scene, as 30,000 rans fans went stone-cold silent. There was plenty of negligence to go around that day, and police botched their inquest at the request of Powers That Be. How do you love doing what you love after that?

After returning to race in USA, my teammate shunted himself in his pickup truck on the way to a ladyfriend's house. 70-feet of "guardrail" passed through his truck and his crotch. I know, because our team went to the crash site and seized the entire guardrail for legal evidence against that killer road. He survived with his leg and half of his pelvis amputated. But he was waterskiing and driving his race car again within 12 months. His doctors had told his family to plan his funeral, and later admitted he was the only hemipelvectomy to ever survive at UT Medical Center. Why don't we all just give up when disaster strikes? Maybe God didn't build us that way?

After hearing of this lady's fatal crash off the Dragon, I dreamed last night I died, and came back to my wife for a few days to help her sort out her finances. Then I realized it was probably a dream, since I knew I didn't get shot dead in the Vietnam War (from talking to a Triumph rider drafted during Vietnam). I did die once before, in a dentist's chair, from his incompetent staffs' forgetting to turn on oxygen while doping me with nitrous (which is similar to carbon monoxide). My breathing and heart stopped and I floated out of my body and looked down on myself in the chair and watching the dental crew work on my body (while bouncing off the ceiling and laughing my head off from the nitrous), which is not something I've felt even when knocked unconscious playing football or softball. They revived me, hopefully without brain damage. I wish my family of trial lawyers had sued for wrongful death and medical malpractice, but they did nothing. The dentist quit pulling my 4 teeth, and when I went back, he used a VERY long needle of cocaine/novacaine. The point of this story is that when you die, it is painless and fearless and happy, which people say all the time about "out of body near death experiences" even without laughing gas.

Vehicle crashes kill less than one percent (1%) of all Americans who die. 35,000 highway deaths out of 5-Million annual deaths in USA.

"The most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. Using Leape's 1997 medical and drug error rate would add another 216,000 deaths, for a total of 999,936 deaths annually. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US."
—Gary Null, PhD; Carolyn Dean MD, ND; Martin Feldman, MD; Debora Rasio, MD; Dorothy Smith, PhD, Life Extension Magazine, "Death by Medicine", March 2004 (plus 1.5-Million annual aborticides in USA)

"Ethicists and emergency medicine experts are raising concerns over New York City's plan to dispatch the first ambulance service in the country equipped to preserve the organs of the newly deceased. They question whether the organ-preserving ambulances will create tension among EMTs who may be charged both to save lives and to preserve organs for reuse. The aim of the Rapid Organ Recovery Ambulance service, city officials say, is to buy precious time for families to decide whether they want their loved ones' organs to be donated to needy patients. New York City plans to start the service rolling within a month. And the plan, which has already received federal funding, is being eyed as a possibility by other emergency medical departments."
—Dan Childs, ABC News Medical Unit, Ethicists Debate Ambulance for Organs - Some Worry New York City Plan Could Give Living Patients the Short Shrift, May 9, 2008

Hmmm. This conservative total of 1-million murders every year is 'necessary' to counterbalance the 1.5-million annual aborticides of Americans, lest the Ponzi Schemers run out of pension plans and insurance reserves. So, medical doctors murder 2.5-million Americans every year with iatrogenocide, according to their official statistics. Yet what do cops and media the cartel focus on for arrests? If Psycho Big Brother didn't want to kill all of us, then all cops would be replaced with ambulance crews without guns, and arrests of REAL criminals would be handled by sheriffs' posse's of unpaid deputized local residents, like done for hundreds of years in America.

My wife saw a head-on crash of two cars immediately in front of her in Loudon County TN. 15 cops showed up before the first ambulance arrived 45 minutes later. The cops said the female driver in front of my wife was dead on the scene and offerred no first aid. My wife held the head of the other unconscious woman who crossed the center line after losing control in a skid and was T-boned in half. She stood in a puddle of gasoline in the center of the state highway at night helping that trapped driver while cops just stood around doing nothing. When the ambulance crew arrived, they said the "dead" woman was still alive, but died later. She was a nurse who died because she did not wear a seatbelt, since her car was not very damaged. The THP cop refused to write down my wife's name and address, even though she was the only eyewitness to he crash, since she refused to testify the drivers were not drinking alcohol. So we tracked down the family in case we were needed to testify.

Every time I ride the Dragon, I dodge many drivers attempting to crash into me head-on in my lane, including one Blount County deputy pulling out of the Overlook into MY lane on a blind curve. This is just part of the daily challenge, and requires planning for this danger on almost every curve. Plus dodging the wild bears, deer, boar, turkeys and squirrels that share the road day and night. I wanted to buy my wife a scooter this year and let her play on the Dragon, but I think that she's not ready for that, if ever, even tho she's been to pro driver's schools and skid training.

A highway death reminds us that we ALL must eventually face our own personal Armageddon. We hope it's after a long, happy life, with death by painless old age, surrounded in our comfy home by our loving family. Rarely does this happen in real life. Perhaps a sudden death while loving life isn't the worst way to go?

But keep things in perspective. During this same three-day weekend, approximately 300 drivers will be killed in highway crashes nationwide, the vast majority while driving cars and trucks. Perhaps we need mandatory helmet laws for drivers, as currently in effect for bike riders and race-car drivers? It is not unheard of to see supersports car drivers wearing "motorcycle" helmets (and driving street vehicles with full rollcages, explosion-proof fuel cells and fire-suppression systems), especially on The Dragon. None of these low-cost, race-proven safety devices is allowed to be offered by manufacturers as options on new vehicles. Nor does Big Brother mandate these low-tech safety technologies, which cost less than explosive airbag "pillows" that routinely kill people by snapping their necks in 5mph non-fender benders. This apparent lack of concern is a CLUE.

The biggest danger to life is Big Brother and Dr's of Death - NOT riding or driving. During this same three-day weekend, approximately 7,000 Americans were murdered by medical doctors each day, for a 3-day total of 21,000 dead. If you pay attention, most injured drivers die AFTER arriving at hospital....

Don't listen to Big Brother's Police State, and its lapdog media cartel, allege riding The Dragon is the root of all evil, and bikers "deserve what they get". What overpaid Formula-One billionaire Bernie Ecclestone calls Darwin's Curse for overpaid primadonnas, "The natural culling effect."

I was called a "wanker" once, when I raced British Formula 3 on a shoestring budget, against teams with million-dollar budgets. This included future Formula One teams, owned by such as Sir Jackie Stewart, and the nursery school of many current F-1 superstars. Chris Pook, Australian promotor of Long Beach, California's "Indycar Grand Prix", sent the fruit of his loins to learn how to drive race cars in his mother country of England. His brat was in a lower category than myself, and a tail-ender of his particular spec-car series, notwithstanding his blank-check budget. Somehow, I ended up in the same car with Little Pook and his pro pit crew. Little Pook started on about an American "wanker" in the F3 race, competing against Royalty with only a mini caravan and all-volunteer pit crew. I turned around and faced him in the back seat of the car, and said, "I'm the wanker - pleased to meet you." His pit blokes almost died on the spot (a priceless Kodak moment). Maybe he was just skeert of getting his butt whupped in the Big Leagues.

Funny how I feel the same way on The Dragon. I'm just a disabled "Gulf-War vet", just trying to survive and learn how to ride my low-budget bike after 35-years of trying. Maybe someday I'll relax and enjoy myself while sightseeing, but not yet. The Dragon and its tails still feel like the Big League to me, even at 30mph.

Then on NBC Saturday Night Live that night, they did a skit on Barry Gibb of the disco-dancin' Bee Gees from "Oz", hosting a talk show, talking in the same tone as he sings in Saturday Night Fever. Even the actors failed to keep a straight face. Gibb looked just like Brian "Wanker" Jackson of Corbin's Speed TV at The Gap. You had to be there. I felt a little better after that. And I even got on Speed TV as a "wanker".

"The most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. (By contrast, the number of deaths attributable to heart disease in 2001 was 699,697, while the number of deaths attributable to cancer was 553,251.5) Using Leape's 1997 medical and drug error rate of 3 million multiplied by the 14% fatality rate he used in 1994 produces an annual death rate of 420,000 for drug errors and medical errors combined. Using this number instead of Lazorou's 106,000 drug errors and the Institute of Medicine 's (IOM) estimated 98,000 annual medical errors would add another 216,000 deaths, for a total of 999,936 deaths annually. Our estimated 10-year total of 7.8 million iatrogenic* deaths is more than all the casualties from all the wars fought by the US throughout its entire history. An estimated 164 million people—more than half of the total US population—receive unneeded medical treatment over the course of a decade. What's iatrogenesis? From the Greek roots iatros = doctor & genesis = caused: DRUG IATROGENESIS -- Prescription drugs constitute the major treatment modality of scientific medicine. With the discovery of the 'germ theory,' medical scientists convinced the public that infectious organisms were the cause of illness. Finding the 'cure' for these infections proved much harder than anyone imagined. From the beginning, chemical drugs promised much more than they delivered. But far beyond not working, the drugs also caused incalculable side effects. The drugs themselves, even when properly prescribed, have side effects that can be fatal, as Lazarou's study showed. But human error can make the situation even worse. As few as 5% and no more than 20% of iatrogenic acts are ever reported. This implies that if medical errors were completely and accurately reported, we would have an annual iatrogenic death toll much higher than 783,936. In 1994, Leape said his figure of 180,000 medical mistakes resulting in death annually was equivalent to three jumbo-jet crashes every two days. Our considerably higher figure is equivalent to six jumbo jets are falling out of the sky each day."

"Denver, Colorado - A US coroner issued a homicide finding yesterday after determining that two hospitals allowed vital organs to be removed from a man before they had proven he was brain dead. William Rardin's cause of death was 'removal of his internal organs by an organ recovery team', ruled coroner Mark Young in Montrose County, Colorado. He said he did not believe the case should be a criminal matter, but suggested it 'should lead to a clarification of what the accepted standard is'. Mr Young said the two hospitals did not follow 'accepted medical standards' or meet state guidelines in determining that Rardin, 31, was brain dead after he shot himself last month. He was a registered organ donor and his heart, liver, pancreas and two kidneys were transplanted into waiting patients. 'I think it (the organ donation) was done in good faith ... but the standard has me thinking about taking the organ donation card off my licence,' he said. 'I don't mind donating organs if I'm dead, but I want to be dead first.'"

I didn't believe him, but I see these news reports all the time of doctors murdering patients by refusing to treat them, denying food to patients begging for food, pulling out hydration tubes and denying water to patients who can still swallow - like Terri Shiavo, who is NOT 'brain dead' in a coma."

"On a 70 mph freeway, the average state trooper of the day did not pull people over until they were over 80, or in some cases, 85 mph. This put the 'speeder' well over that number. The first major study to be published was 'Accidents on Main Rural Highways Related to Speed, Driver, and Vehicle' by David Soloman in 1964. Analyzing the accident/speed relationship from a substantial body of information collected in eleven states, Soloman's study reveiwed the accident records of almost 10,000 drivers, and included interviews with 290,000 other motorists who used the roads studied in his report. Looking at two- and four-lane, noninterstate highways, the study produced conclusions that:

  • Accident involvements 'were highest at very low speeds, lowest at about the average speed of all traffic.'
  • 'Drivers of passenger cars having low horsepower had higher involvement rates than drivers of cars having high horsepower.'
Drivers just above the mean speed had the lowest involvement rate. These findings confirmed the practice of traffic engineers setting speed limits at the 85th-percentile mark."
—Mark Rask, American Autobahn, Chapter One, "Glory Days 1940-1973", page 40

"For decades, speed was the subject of the most widespread slogans drummed into the public. 'Speed kills' and 'slow down and live' are familiar ones peddled by the National Safety Council. The findings showed a more complex picture of the role of speed than had ever been assumed before. Accident involvement rates are at a minimum at speeds between fifty and seventy five miles per hour. Although obviously the severity of accidents is greater at higher speeds, the study revealed that considering accident frequency rates and severity, the number of injuries per vehicle miles traveled is at its minimum. The law embodies an invincible rationale: 'He had an accident; therefore he violated the law.' No distinction is made between responsibility for the accident and responsibility for the injury due to unsafe vehicle design or construction. Manslaughter charges are filed routinely against drivers; there is yet to be recorded any similar charges against the manufacturers for vehicle defects. A typical police traffic accident report has a list of 'contributing circumstances' which the officer is to check off: 'Speed too fast; failed to yield right of way; drove left of center; improper overtaking; passed stop sign; ran traffic signal; improper lights; had been drinking; and other improper driving.' Thus the driver is heir to all the dangers created by the automobile designers, not only in terms of bodily injury but also in terms of legal exposure. The result of this drastic imbalance in the law is the very poor quality of accident investigation in this country. Consequently, enforcement of the law brings no pressure on the car makers to increase the safety of their vehicles."

"The Knoxville News Sentinel reported March 14th that Rockford Tennessee police officer Sgt. James R. Johnson has been suspended indefinitely with pay following an incident which claimed the life of a 27 year old motorcyclist identified as Phillip Layton [who was a police officer riding to work at the Juvenile Jail in Knoxville]. The initial investigation into the accident by Tennessee State Trooper Ron McDonald reported that Layton struck the rear of Johnson's patrol car. Later however, witnesses reported that it appeared the police cruiser swerved into the motorcycle which sent it into the guardrail. Trooper McDonald said in a press release that 'after reviewing police video from the Rockford car, it appears the witnesses' account is true.' McDonald has since turned over the investigation to the Highway Patrol's Criminal Investigation Division and the Blount County District Attorney General. According to the News-Sentinel, a source close to the investigation and who has seen the police video says that Johnson received a radio call from a Blount Co. Deputy who told him that a motorcycle was approaching him at a high rate of speed. Johnson had just finished a traffic stop and turned off his blue lights which turned off his video camera. When the motorcyclist appeared, Johnson turned on his blue lights thereby reactivating the camera. As the motorcyclist approached the cruiser and attempted to pass in the left lane, Johnson allegedly moved his cruiser into the left lane. Moments later the tape shows the motorcycle going down the highway without the operator. Johnson first reported that the bike struck the rear of his patrol car, later when investigators arrived, Johnson said the motorcycle hit the guardrail and bounced into the side of his car. The officer had 2 prior suspensions and one involved failing to notify his superior officer that he was involved in a high speed chase. Family members of the victim have filed a $3 million dollar wrongful death suit. Rockford City attorney David Black refused to comment on the suit because the investigation by the Tennessee State Patrol is still incomplete. Black called the incident 'tragic' and confirmed that there is a grand jury investigation currently underway. Sgt. Johnson is a former deputy with the Blount County Sheriff's department. Blount County is home to at least part of the famous run known as 'The Dragon.' Deals Gap is known to motorcycle enthusiasts the world over as a thrilling road to ride. Many sportbike riders use the twisting, turning road to test the limits of their machines as well as their nerve and abilities. As a Blount County Deputy, Sgt. Johnson routinely patrolled this stretch of highway. A source who refused to be identified told Dixie Rider that Johnson may have had a grudge against motorcyclists after an incident in which he chased one particular rider down The Gap and was unable to catch him. Another deputy was waiting at the bottom of The Gap and stopped the individual. The source goes on to say that the motorcycle operator was a doctor ['Doc'] who had received an emergency page and was en-route to the hospital. After confirming the doctor's excuse, Johnson was forced to release him and this is the basis for the grudge. However, this incident could not be confirmed. Several motorcycle rights organizations, such as ABATE and the AMA (American Motorcyclist Assoc.) are conducting independent investigations into this incident."

This might have murdered him by stroke or heart attack. The doctor was also responding to a page for surgery in the Emergency Room of Blount Memorial Hospital. It is not known if that was the same police officer who murdered police officer Micky Laton.]

"A Rockford police officer has been charged with a vehicular homicide in the death of a Knoxville [police officer] killed in a motorcycle crash on March 10, 2001. The charge against Sgt. James Ray 'J.R.' Johnson, 33, of Maryville, came in an indictment returned Aug. 28 by a Blount County Grand Jury sitting in special session. Laton was employed as a Corrections Officer at the Knox County Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Knoxville. Laton was divorced, but he had full custody of his three minor children. Soon after being notified of the indictment and the warrant for his arrest, Johnson surrendered to authorities at the Blount County Justice Center. Escorted by fellow Rockford police officer Bill Allen, Johnson entered the Justice Center through the sally port where people in custody are turned over to corrections officers. The accident report made at the scene by Tennessee Highway Patrol Officer Ronald McDonald, stated that Laton lost control of his 1997 Honda CR900 as he tried to pass Johnson's cruiser, hit the guardrail and skidded into Johnson's patrol car. McDonald said that two witnesses came forward two days after the accident and said Johnson swerxred his cruiser into tile path of the motorcycle, sending it careening into tile guardrail. Thc witnesses are reportedly Tennessee state highway troopers. Since the accident, Johnson's friends claim he has been labeled as a 'motorcyclist hater,' although Johnson owns a motorcycle and has ridden for over a decade. In addition to the criminal charges, he is named as a defendant in a $3 million lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court by Laton's ex-wife on behalf of her three minor children, ages 7, 8 and 9. Named in the same lawsuit are Rockford Police Chief Robert Simerly, City of Rockford, Blount County Sheriff James L. Berrong and Blount County. Johnson was released after posting a $25,000 surety bond. He awaits a 9 a.m., Sept. 10 appearance in Blount County Circuit Court."

Robert Jordan, a 49-year-old college graduate, took an exam to join the New London police, in Connecticut, in 1996 and scored 33 points, the equivalent of an IQ of 125. But New London police interviewed only candidates who scored 20 to 27, on the theory that those who scored too high could get bored with police work and leave soon after undergoing costly training. Mr Jordan launched a federal lawsuit against the city, but lost. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York upheld a lower court's decision that the city did not discriminate against Mr Jordan because the same standards were applied to everyone who took the test.

"The trial of a Cocke County Sheriff's Department deputy accused of perjury and witness tampering is expected to begin this morning in federal court in Greeneville. John Wayne 'Johnny' Black, 34, of Newport is one of seven Cocke County lawmen arrested since June as part of a sweeping federal probe into public corruption and organized crime in the county that also led to the Jan. 31 resignation of longtime Sheriff D.C. Ramsey. Black has remained on duty pending resolution of his case and maintains his innocence. Black is accused of lying about a 2002 motorcycle accident in which he and another off-duty deputy, Jonathan Morgan, were injured. Black filed a civil lawsuit against the motorcycle's manufacturer seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages, but federal prosecutors later alleged that the lawsuit was part of a fraudulent scheme to collect money from the company. Black allegedly lied under oath 'by concealing that he had engaged in an unsafe act at the time of the accident,' court records state. When he wrecked, he was allegedly 'performing a 'wheelie',' according to court records. The witness tampering charge was filed after a Sept. 22, 2005, conversation with Morgan in which he 'did knowingly attempt to corruptly persuade and to engage in misleading conduct toward Jonathan Morgan by telling Morgan, 'keep your story. Whatever you said in your deposition, keep it' and 'you didn't see nothing, son, you said you was sitting there and all you know somebody hit your leg',' records say. Black initially faced charges of mail fraud as well, but those charges were eventually dropped by the U.S. Attorney's Office. According to court documents, the witnesses against Black might include Morgan; Trooper Kevin Kimbrough of the Tennessee Highway Patrol; and former Newport Police Department officer Derrick Webb. Kimbrough, Morgan and Webb secretly cooperated with federal authorities during the probe by covertly recording conversations they had with other officers, records show."

"With a State Patrol airplane overhead, a motorcyclist hit the throttle and possibly set the informal record for the fastest speeding ticket in Minnesota history: 205 mph. On Saturday afternoon, State Patrol pilot Al Loney was flying near Wabasha, in southeastern Minnesota on the Wisconsin border, watching two motorcyclists racing along U.S. Highway 61. When one of the riders shot forward, Loney was ready with his stopwatch. He clicked it once when the motorcycle reached a white marker on the road and again a quarter-mile later. The watch read 4.39 seconds, which Loney calculated to be 205 mph. 'I was in total disbelief,' Loney told the St. Paul Pioneer Press for Tuesday's editions. 'I had to double-check my watch because in 27 years I'd never seen anything move that fast.' Several law enforcement sources told the newspaper that, although no official records are kept, it was probably the fastest ticket ever written in the state. After about three-quarters of a mile, the biker slowed to about 100 mph and let the other cycle catch up. By then Loney had radioed ahead to another state trooper, who pulled the two over soon afterward. The State Patrol officer arrested the faster rider, 20-year-old Stillwater resident Samuel Armstrong Tilley, for reckless driving, driving without a motorcycle license — and driving 140 miles per hour over the posted speed limit of 65 mph. A search of speeding tickets written by state troopers, who patrol most of the state's highways, between 1990 and February 2004 shows the next fastest ticket was for 150 mph in 1994 in Lake of the Woods County. Tilley did not return calls from the newspaper to his home Monday. A working number for him could not immediately be found by The Associated Press on Tuesday.Only a handful of exotic sports cars can reach 200 mph, but many high-performance motorcycles can top 175 mph. With minor modifications, they can hit 200 mph. Tilley was riding a Honda 1000, Loney said.Kathy Swanson of the state Office of Traffic Safety said unless Tilley was wearing the kind of protective gear professional motorcycle racers wear, he was courting death at 200 mph. 'I'm not entirely sure what would happen if you crashed at 200 miles per hour," Swanson said. "But it wouldn't be pretty, that's for sure.'"

Hell, I got a 'wreckless driving' ticket for riding 50mph in a 55-zone on the Interstate - and no, I wasn't riding a wheelie on my rusty 20-year-old Honda Nighhawk. I pulled the cop's personnel file, and he had crashed his patrol car into innocent bystanders four times in his five years as a cop. His driver license had no 'points', and his insurance wasn't cancelled. And he accused me of being reckless?!

"Strictly local municipal courts offer a separate, substandard justice and warrant a thourough review on their own. . . . At their worst, they are merely revenue-gathering agencies masquerading as courts. Their sole reason for being is the funds that their municipality draws from them. If the funds disappeared, few of the cities would consider the court an important civic service. Their limits and oversight are ill-defined, and their flexibility can sometimes disguise mere arbitrariness. . . . We believe they fall much closer to the worst model than to the best one. A majority of complaints about judges that come to the Administrative Office of the Courts originate with municipal courts. The financial interest of local government clearly rests with the present system."

"A Roane County Judge faces extortion and money laundering charges. Investigators say the arrest of 57 year old Thomas A. Austin is an ongoing effort to fight public corruption. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation had been looking into allegations of sexual harassment by Judge Austin. Federal authorities allegedly became involved after the TBI uncovered other questionable activities. Judge Austin has been General Sessions Court Judge in Roane County since the late 70's. He was arrested by agents outside the Roane County Courthouse Monday Morning. Angela Randolph, Roane County Circuit Court Clerk says, 'This is a major shock. We just don't understand what's happened.' Randolph and others in the community didn't learn the details of what happened until an eight count indictment was unsealed in Federal Court in Knoxville later that afternoon. Seven of the counts revolve around extortion. One count stems from money laundering. According to court documents, Judge Austin routinely sentenced individuals to driving school and probation. Between June and December of 2005, Judge Austin's accused of bribing more than $10,000 from the Roane Independent Driving School and another $2,000 from the Traffic School in Roane County. Judge Austin also faces charges for taking a computer from Roane County Probation Services Incorporated. Investigators say Judge Austin then tried to cover up the crimes. Randolph says, 'Judge Austin has always been a good person. I've worked with him, although, I didn't see him on a daily basis, I worked with him for many years. He has always been a good person to be friends with.' Judge Austin's courtroom remained empty Monday because of his arrest. Instead, another General Sessions Court Judge Dennis Humphrey presided over his cases. According to Randolph, Judge Humphrey is prepared to do so until things get straightened out. 'We're hoping this is a mistake somewhere along the line and he will be here in the bench like we want him to be,' adds Randolph. Judge Austin was released on conditional bond. Since investigators told the court Judge Austin was under the influence of illegal drugs during some of the transactions, the court ordered he be screened for drugs. Other conditions of Judge Austin's bond include not having any contact with witness' in the case and he cannot possess any firearms. His trial is set for March 29th."

"FBI agents waited to arrest Judge Thomas Austin Monday morning, across from the Roane County Courthouse. Eye witnesses say when the judge parked his car, the agents moved in. Meanwhile, his colleagues in the courthouse looked on. Circuit Court Clerk, Angela Randolph says, 'I saw these agents going through his white car that was parked there. I saw someone sitting in the back seat of the agent's car.' Randolph says she couldn't believe her eyes. 'It's not uncommon that we would hear rumors of him,' but this time was different. Jack Abston lives across the street from the courthouse. He too saw the whole thing, 'Well, I was just up there about to put garbage in the dumpster and looked down the street and I saw him getting out of the car and them arresting him.' He says Judge Austin didn't resist the agents. 'He kind of put his head down and his hands behind his back when they handcuffed him.' It was a sight alarming to both his colleagues and friends. Randolph says, 'Shock...shock, definitely shock.' Judge Austin was scheduled to preside over a full docket of court cases, but his unexpected absence made things hectic. Randolph says, 'Court is scheduled on a daily basis. I mean, we have various types of cases scheduled every day, so we have a docket, you know the docket needs to continue on, as much as can.' After seeing Judge Austin being arrested about forty-five minutes before court, she knew she had to act. Randolph says, 'We have two general sessions judges, so Judge Humphreys is taking his load plus the extras basically for today so court did not have to be cancelled.' Judge Austin was first appointed judge in the late seventies, before winning three consecutive elections spanning two decades. According to the Administrator of Elections, Judge Austin is planning on running for re-election this August. He's not running unopposed like many elections in the past. Jeffery H. Wick is also on the ballot."

"6 News takes a closer look at the indictment of Roane County Judge Thomas Austin. He's charged with extortion and money laundering. According to the indictment, Austin routinely sentenced traffic violators to a driving school, an operation authorities claim he directly profited from. Counts 1-6 pertain to the Roane Independent Driving School held at Roane County High. Willie Gordon operated the school in June and July 2005 before Marty Miles took over in August. The school charged $50 per person for the safe-driving class during that time. The indictment claims Austin illegally took $2,000 from Gordon and $10,750 from Miles. Marty miles works at the Roane County Courthouse as the Juvenile Court probation officer. His secretary said he was not in the office Wednesday. Counts 7 and 8 in the indictment deal with another business. In those counts, Austin is also charged with extortion and laundering money through Roane Probation Services, Inc. It provides supervision to convicted criminals on probation. David Ridenour, also known as 'Doc,' operates the Roane County Probation Services, Inc. He was also not in the office Wednesday and he did not return messages. It's important to note, the three men involved in the driving school and the probation service business have not been charged with anything. The indictment says the men gave the judge the money, 'under the color of official right.'"

"Federal prosecutors charged six people Wednesday, including two state employees, in a conspiracy to issue fraudulent driving licenses and certificates for immigrants. The indictment says that Safety Department employee Bruce Conklin and former employee Teresa Jones took bribes from a driving school, getting $20 in cash for each of 1,000 students. Bryan Guess, who owns the Winchester Driving School, was charged along with former school worker Sheila Robertson with paying bribes between May 2004 and March 2005. According to a news release from prosecutors, Shun Gao paid more than $32,000 in cash for third-party certificates from the driving school. Guess is charged with accepting the cash from him for these certificates between August and December. Syed Abbas Parvez, an illegal immigrant living in Georgia, was charged with transporting another illegal immigrant to Tennessee to get a fraudulent license through the driving school.

"Oklahoma's attorney general wants a state judge removed on suspicion he frequently masturbated and used a device for enhancing erections while his court was in session, a spokesman for the office said Thursday. Attorney General Drew Edmondson filed a petition Wednesday with state judicial authorities seeking the removal of Sapulpa District Judge Donald Thompson, 57, for 'conduct constituting an offense involving moral turpitude in violation of the Oklahoma Constitution,' Edmondson's spokesman said Thursday. The judge flatly denies the charges made in the petition, his lawyer, Clark Brewster, said Thursday. He said the judge received a penis pump for his 50th birthday as a gag gift, which became a source of a running joke in the courthouse. 'The allegations are bizarre and preposterous,' Brewster said. "Recently, some members of local law enforcement that are upset with a number of his rulings, used this situation to embarrass and attack him.' In the petition, the attorney general charged Thompson used a penis pump, a device billed as providing sexual pleasure and promising better erections and larger penis size, during trials and exposed himself to a court reporter several times while masturbating on the bench. 'On one occasion, Ms. (Lisa) Foster (Thompson's court reporter for 15 years), saw Judge Thompson holding his penis up and shaving underneath it with a disposable razor while on the bench,' the petition reads. Several witnesses, including jurors in Thompson's court and police officers called to testify in trials, said in the petition they heard the 'swooshing' sound of a penis pump during trials and saw the judge slumped in his chair, with his elbows on his knees, working the device. The witnesses said the pump sounded like a blood pressure cuff being pumped up. According to the petition, Thompson admitted he had a penis pump under the bench during a murder trial but he told investigators it was a gag gift from a friend."

"Oklahoma - Everyone always asks, 'What's under that Judges Robe? What exactly is he wearing?' Most of the time, no one really wants to know. But if you can hear it, chances are, you don't want to see it. District Judge Donald D. Thompson violated the code of judicial conduct 'by his repeated use of a device known as a penis pump during non-jury and jury trials in his courtroom and in the presence of court employees while serving in his capacity as a district judge,' Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson wrote in a petition filed Wednesday with the Court of the Judiciary. The sound of Thompson using the pump was heard by a number of witnesses, who said that the noise sounded 'like air being pumped or released' from a blood pressure cuff. Allegations that a district court judge engaged in improper conduct involving sexual acts are false and are part of an effort to attack and embarrass him and Thompson is 'horrified' by the accusations, his attorney said. 'The whole genesis for the allegations involves a well-known courthouse joke,' Brewster said. 'About the time he turned 50, he was given a gag gift by a hunting buddy, a penis pump, in poor taste. It sat in the courthouse the past several years and was in various places.' Many of the lawyers and court personnel were aware of the pump, which became the butt of jokes, he said. 'The individuals that we believe are behind this attempt to embarrass the judge took that opportunity to blow it into a much more sinister set of allegations.' The petition also alleged that Thompson masturbated in view of his female court reporter during a number of court proceedings. The judge admitted the penis pump was under the bench during a murder trial on Aug. 22 and at other times but denied using the device, Edmondson's petition states. 'A couple of police officers upset with rulings he made tried to make it something it was not,' he said. 'He's not going to tolerate these falsehoods.' Sapulpa police officers wouldn't comment on Brewster's statement Thursday. The officers, the police chief and court personnel are listed as witnesses who were present at a criminal trial in Thompson's court. Lisa K. Foster, a court reporter for Thompson for 15 years, told investigators she witnessed the judge's sexual behavior '15 to 20 times.' She was fired after the judge heard she had cooperated with an investigation into his activities, Edmondson said. Also fired was Zelma Hindman, the judge's secretary, who talked to investigators, Edmondson said. 'On one occasion, Thompson sent Hindman to run an errand and when she returned to the courtroom, she saw that Thompson had the pump in his lap,' the complaint said. 'He jumped when he saw her. Hindman thought she saw his penis.'"

World Death Rate Holds Steady at 100%

THE ONION
January 22, 2004

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND—World Health Organization officials expressed disappointment Monday at the group's finding that, despite the enormous efforts of doctors, rescue workers and other medical professionals worldwide, the global death rate remains constant at 100 percent.

Death, a metabolic affliction causing total shutdown of all life functions, has long been considered humanity's number one health concern. Responsible for 100 percent of all recorded fatalities worldwide, the condition has no cure.

"I was really hoping, what with all those new radiology treatments, rescue helicopters, aerobics TV shows and what have you, that we might at least make a dent in it this year," WHO Director General Dr. Gernst Bladt said. "Unfortunately, it would appear that the death rate remains constant and total, as it has inviolably since the dawn of time."

Many are suggesting that the high mortality rate represents a massive failure on the part of the planet's health care workers.

"The inability of doctors and scientists to adequately address this issue of death is nothing less than a scandal," concerned parent Marcia Gretto said. "Do you have any idea what a full-blown case of death looks like? Well, I do, and believe me, it's not pretty. In prolonged cases, total decomposition of the corpse is the result."

"What about the children?" the visibly moved Gretto added.

"At this early date, I don't want to start making broad generalizations," Citizens for Safety's Robert Hemmlin said, "but it is beginning to seem possible that birth—as well as the subsequent life cycle that follows it—may be a serious safety risk for all those involved."

Death, experts say, affects not only the dead, but the non-dead as well.

"Those who suffer from death can be highly traumatized by it, often so severely that it kills them," noted therapist Eli Wasserbaum said. "But it can also be very traumatic for the still-living who are left behind. The sudden cessation of metabolic activity characteristic of terminal cases of death often leaves the dead person in a position where they are unable to adequately provide for the emotional needs of their loved ones."

In the most serious cases of death, Wasserbaum explained, the trauma inflicted upon these still-living victims of death may continue throughout their entire lives, until their own deaths. "Thus," Wasserbaum said, "the 'vicious cycle' of death trauma continues indefinitely."

"Everybody talks about death," Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) said, "but nobody seems to actually be doing anything about it. I propose we stop molly-coddling death, not to mention the multi-billion-dollar hospital, mortuary, funeral and burial industries that reap huge profits from it."

Under Domenici's new bill, all federal funds will be withheld from the medical industry until it "gets serious and starts cracking down on death."

Consumer rights advocate and staunch anti-death activist Ralph Nader agreed with Domenici.

"Why should we continue to spend billions of dollars a year on a health care industry whose sole purpose is to prevent death, only to find, once again, that death awaits us all?" Nader said in an impassioned address to several suburban Californians. "That's called a zero percent return on our investment, and that's not fair. Its time the paying customer stood up to the HMOs and to the so-called 'medical health professionals' and said: 'Enough is enough. I'm paying through the nose here, and I don't want to die.'"

A Florida Highway Patrol trooper whose father was killed in the line of duty had his own close call Sunday, when a motorist on the Florida Turnpike [Toll Road that never pays off its debt] rear-ended his parked patrol car and crumpled it like an accordion, authorities said.

Darryl Haywood Jr. was trapped in his crushed 2003 Ford Crown Victoria for nearly half an hour before being released and airlifted to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, FHP Lt. Roger Reyes said.

The 20-year-old trooper, who was found bleeding profusely from the head, was going to be hospitalized for several days, and he was in serious but stable condition, Reyes said Sunday afternoon.

GANG COLORS - Underage adult Darrell Haywood Jr. joined the biggest gang of killers and drug dealers in Florida - "His father would be proud" said FHP Lt. Roger Reyes - "We have tried to watch what he does and keep him out of trouble and keep him safe" said FHP Sgt. Jorge Delahoz - Note the NBC Olympic logo designed by Nazi Adolf Hitler

Three others were also injured in the 7 a.m. three-car accident, which happened just south of the Hollywood Boulevard exit while Haywood was sitting in his patrol car writing a traffic ticket.

Haywood had pulled over a 1996 Hyundai driven by Ratasha Washington, 27, of Miami. The patrol car and the Hyundai were stopped and parked on the west shoulder of the roadway when a 1994 Dodge pickup driven by Robert Frederick Dimmle, 22, of Fort Lauderdale, veered from the center lane "for unknown reasons," according to a Florida Highway Patrol news release. The pickup rear-ended the patrol car, causing it to rear-end the Hyundai. Finally, the pickup overturned and came to a rest in the center lane, the release says.

Southbound lanes of the turnpike were closed for about three hours.

A passenger in the pickup, Clunie Milhomme, 23, of Fort Lauderdale, also was airlifted to the trauma center, where she was in stable condition Sunday afternoon, Reyes said. The other two drivers, who were not seriously injured, were taken to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood.

GOOD RIDDANCE - It was a heart-wrenching flashback for Haywood's mother whose husband was killed in the line of duty two years ago - In October 2004, Trooper Darrell Haywood Sr. was chasing a speeding motorcycle when he crashed into a tree and died

"We're out here trying to make the roads safe, doing what we have to do, understanding the dangers of the job," Reyes said. "We just need the general public to not be distracted and pay attention and understand we have families too, and we want to be able to go home at the end of the day and not worry about being struck on the side of the road."

Haywood's father, Darryl Haywood Sr., was the 39th Florida trooper to die in the line of duty. He was 49 when he died in an October 2004 crash while chasing a speeding motorcyclist on Interstate 4 in Volusia County.

The elder Haywood was pursuing Hillsborough County motorcyclist Donald Williams, with their speeds topping 100 mph, when a tire blew out on Haywood's Chevrolet Camaro, causing him to spin out, strike another car and crash into a pine tree.

Williams was sentenced to 30 years in prison on charges of aggravated manslaughter and aggravated fleeing and eluding a law-enforcement officer causing death [though millions of citizens celebrated the termination of the copster].

Haywood Sr. had joined the agency in 2000 after a 20-year career with the New York Police Departmen [thus double-dipping his pension].

SUICIDAL TRAFFIC COPSTERS - In October 2004, Trooper Darrell Haywood Sr. was chasing a speeding motorcycle when he crashed into a tree and died - The motorcycle rider was sent to prison for 30 years because the reckless copster didn't know how to drive, costing innocent taxpayers millions of taxdollars to imprison wreckless motorcycle rider who did know how to drive

"It has only been a short time since Darryl's father Trooper Darryl L. Haywood Sr. was tragically killed while on duty serving the citizens of Florida," his widow and the injured trooper's mother, Linda Sharpe-Haywood, said in a written statement. "We would ask for the public to pray for Darryl and the others involved in the crash."

On Sunday afternoon she was en route from her home in the Daytona Beach area to visit her son at Jackson.

The younger Haywood graduated from FHP Academy in June 2005 and was assigned to the agency's Troop K in Broward County.

Reyes, Haywood Jr.'s supervisor, described the young trooper as eager to learn and always asking questions of supervisors and senior troopers.

Reyes said a thorough investigation of Sunday's crash would ensue.

ARREST ALL COPSTERS - According to Florida Highway Patrol, a white Dodge pickup truck veered off the roadway and struck the rear of Haywood's patrol car - Haywood and his chain of command including governor JEB Bush and the state legislature should be arrested for reckless driving, aggrevated assault and attempted first degree murder - If a citizen dies Haywood and his chain of command including governor JEB Bush and the state legislature should be convicted of first degree murder and executed by death penalty

"We'll be looking at all factors to see what caused the crash," he said. "We'll be looking to see if impairment or fatigue contributed."

"Mr. Speaker, my subject today is whether America is a police state. If we are, what are we going to do about it? Most police states, surprisingly, come about through the democratic process with majority support. The masses are easily led to believe that security and liberty are mutually exclusive, and demand for security far exceeds that for liberty. Our government already keeps close tabs on just about everything we do and requires official permission for nearly all of our activities. One might take a look at our Capitol for any evidence of a police state. We see: barricades, metal detectors, police, military soldiers at times, dogs, ID badges required for every move, vehicles checked at airports and throughout the Capitol. The people are totally disarmed, except for the police and the criminals. But worse yet, surveillance cameras in Washington are everywhere to ensure our safety. Like gun control, people control hurts law-abiding citizens much more than the law-breakers. Centralized control and regulations are required in a police state. Not only do we need a license to drive, but we also need special belts, bags, buzzers, seats and environmentally dictated speed limits. Or a policeman will be pulling us over to levy a fine, and he will be toting a gun for sure. Let's reject the police state."
