Tiger Woods Seen Leaving Estate on a Harley

OK...this isn't true and it's actually the only thing that would even make me care about listening to the news where Tiger is concerned. And really the only thing I would be wondering is what kind of Harley he rides.

Stitches for Bitches - Are you a Motorcycle Betty?

A few years back I found this great website called "Stitches for Bitches". I was surfing the Internet looking for cool clothing that a biker chick would want to wear. Me being that biker chick! I bought the t-shirt shown below because I loved the saying(We are all the same under our skin) and it had a skull on it!

Since then I've bought more merchandise from Stitches for Bitches and creator Danielle Marinovich. Danielle's Betty character was created to let young people know that it's OK to be who you are. Being I've never fit in a "normal" group I totally related to the Betty character. Below is a picture of Betty in her trademark Skull T. There is also Bitchen Betty, Badass Betty, Punk Betty, Motorcycle Betty, and Skater Betty.

About Betty - taken from the Stitches for Bitches site:
The Betty character is very near and dear to creator Danielle Marinovich. Having Betty arrive in a dream within the first days of her sisters death to breast cancer, Danielle says,”I feel as if Stormy sent Betty to help heal my childhood wounds and give hope for the future.” Betty and all of her personas are based upon Danielle at various times in her life.

Being a teen in the late seventies and growing up in a small town was not easy for Danielle as she experimented with a variety of styles. “Throughout my entire life I have felt judged. It always bothered me that some people would look down on me because of the clothes I choose to wear, the color of my hair or skin, my piercings, my tattoos, or because I ride motorcycles. I believe if a person lives their life being an honest, kind, loving human being, who cares what they look like? Why does society put so much importance on the way we look?”

Donating five percent of the profits from the sales of all Betty- related items, Danielle hopes to not only raise money and awareness for breast cancer research, but to help children and adults learn, “You can find friends in all kinds of places, of all different styles, ages and races.” The skull on Betty’s dress is a reminder that "We are all the Same Under our Skin.


Check out this great site and let the Motorcycle Betty in you come out!
http://www.stitchesforbitches.com/ They have great quality merchandise at great prices! And the best thing of all is that proceeds from the Betty merchandise go to Breast Cancer Research! It's a great feeling helping out other Betty's!!!

Sons of Anarchy

I know that Mr. Motorcycle and Rippin Kitten always post on this but Holy Mother of Biscuits and Gravy. DAMN...that was some finale! There is no way that there won't be a Season 3 unless FX doesn't let it happen! I was talking to the TV, yelling at the TV, freaking out at the TV, and crying at the end. I keep having to tell myself I'm not watching reality TV and that it's just a damn good show about a motorcycle club in California.

Searching for the Good in Billy Lane

I was surfing youtube today and I typed in Billy Lane. The talent this guy has is incredible. Before he got in trouble with the law and sentenced to time in prison he did do good. I found this video from a few years back. He was on his Blood, Sweat, and Gears tour. I really miss Billy being part of the biker world. I wish that all that happened to him never would have. I wish he would have seen the writing on the wall and avoided it. I've said it time and time again where Billy is concerned...we've all made mistakes in life. Hopefully we all learn from them. Hopefully Billy learned from his and will someday do good again like he did in this video! Hopefully he will be humbled and not hardened. Hopefully he will build again.



Here is part of an archived blog post from 2005 about Kristen and Me and our search for Billy Lane.

Kristen and I hung out at the Full Throttle Saloon everyday searching for Billy Lane. We are both fans of his and we made it our mission to meet him and get our pictures taken with him. For me it was like a spiritual experience of some weird kind. I tried to talk to him but the words just came out very softly. I was shaking as he moved in for the picture and after it was all done and I walked away I started to cry like a little girl. I had met him...the artist who makes the most amazing choppers that I've ever seen. And an added bonus is the fact that he is so incredibly good looking and such a bad boy!

I know that readers of my blog may have some strong opinions about this guy and I understand that totally. I just don't feel I can judge to much since I've driven when I should not have. Why am I blogging about him now, well after the trial has been over...well, it's because I was looking at pictures from Sturgis 2009 and there was an RV with Billy's name on it but no Billy. It just made me sad and made me think of Kris and me in Sturgis, during the 2004 rally, searching for him everyday. I still dig the guy.

Sara Liberte's Update on Garage-Girls



My 3 favorite celebrity motorcycle women are Jasmine Cain, Sasha Mullins, and Sara Liberte. I was able to update you on Jasmine and Sasha in weeks past and now I've got an update on what is going on with Sara and Garage-Girls. Good Stuff!


I wanted to fill you in on what Garage-Girls has been up to...
We are working on our Ultimate Biker Makeover 2010, Carlisle Edition... here is a re-cap of 2009 http://www.garage-girls.com/makeover/index.php
2010 is GOING TO BE EVEN MORE AWESOME!!! I can't even begin to tell you the amount or prizes we have lined up for someone very deserving of an Ultimate Biker Makeover.. Last years winners Victoria and Krisitin were so stoked with the loot they won. We did get some sad news from the runner up winner Krisitn, her son Jed has been battling cancer since he was 4, well they found out it's back and he is now on a Bone Marrow Transplant list, he is back in the hospital. This breaks our hearts.... Kristin is such a special lady, so strong and Jed is such a brave guy, they both inspire us so much. You can follow Jed' fight on his blog at http://www.bigjedsworld.blogspot.com/ Of course we have been thinking non-stop about Jed and Kristin.....


We have also been working on more video posts for the site, we got to take a tour of the Mustang Seat Factory and see first hand how those comfortable seats are made start to finish all right here in the USA, watch the video very cool! http://www.garage-girls.com/blog/machine/index.php

we have re- worked our youtube channel, you can check that out here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQY0mysj4qo

and we are on twitter chatting about what it is we are working on in the shop... http://twitter.com/garagegirls

I'd say the coolest thing going on right now is the Holiday Shopping Discounts that are being offered to Garage-Girls, if your in the market for a new Mustang Seat, or a technology case, like a cool case for your iphone, ipod, blackberry whatever, Otterbox has you covered and both companies are hooking Garage-Girls readers up for some Holiday Discounts, head over to the site to take advantage of the discounts!

That's about it for now, so much more to come, can't wait for 2010, but looking forward to chillin' with family and friends over the Holidays...
