You had it all Billy!!

I sit here broken hearted. My Chopper God has fallen from grace. Billy had a blood alcohol level of 0.192, which was more than twice the legal limit and was driving on a suspended license. Billy was charged with drunken driving manslaughter. If Billy is convicted he could spend 15 yrs in prison for manslaughter and 15 yrs for driving on a suspended license. This amazing artist has suddenly met a roadblock and I hope that someday he will rise above this all and create more amazing bikes. Billy's friend Indian Larry changed his life after spending time in prison and hopefully this will bring Billy back down to earth so he can once again focus on the real gift he was given, being an amazing Chopper Artist.

Sasha Mullins and her bike Tigerlily

Sasha Mullins is one cool biker chick! Check out her website at www.bikerlady.com . She has written an amazing book about Biker Women called Bikerlady: Living & Riding Free. Every biker chick should read this book! It's inspirational and has so much history about women who forged the road for female riders today.

So disappointed!!

Well Dilana didn't win the other night on Rockstar Supernova. Tommy, Gilby, and Jason selected Lukas instead. Guess the boys were too afraid they'd be shown up by a girl. Rock on Dilana...you are one awesome chick and I'm sure you will make it further than Lukas will after Supernova ends their tour.

Farewell Marine

Grab some tissues before you watch this. It's very moving.

Great Quote

People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.

Billy Billy Billy???

My Chopper God did a bad bad thing! Hit and killed a moped rider while trying to pass 2 cars in a no passing zone. I just hope he wasn't drunk, that will make it all the worse.

Let's Say Thanks

I received an e-mail today from a friend of mine with a link to a website that I think you all should go to. Please go to www.letssaythanks.com and send some postcards to the Men and Women serving our country. They all deserve a huge thank you for what they do each day. What a sacrifice they make so we can be free.

God Bless our Troops and keep them safe. They are all heroes in my eyes.

Anything Boys Can Do Girls Can Do Better

Is this the cutest picture or what? Go Little Biker Girl!!!

Who needs a snowmobile? Obviously not this guy.

I thought Harley Riders were hardcore! That's one hardcore Kawasaki rider!! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I'm proud to be an American

Let's face it, since September 11th things have changed in the United States. We view things much differently now, or at least I do. We all need to wake up and realize that one of these days something could happen in our own back yard. The US Government allowed people into our country assuming they would be going to school in Montana. What happened? They split up and were found all around the United States. 3 of these so called students ended up right here in Des Moines, IA. Wake up people!! Do you really think that just because we live in the United States, that suicide bombers couldn't show up on our streets? Why did these men scatter all over the country? And how come the US Government never gives us the straight story? I really doubt these guys were like..."Oh, my life long dream has always been to visit Des Moines, IA." Come on, get real!! Seriously my fellow Americans....WAKE UP and stop being so damn liberal about everything. Stop worrying about who we might offend because when they are walking into the local Starbucks with an explosive device strapped to themselves, it will be far to late.

Dilana what the heck girl??

Ok...I try to not get all caught up in reality TV but I'm sooooooooo into RockStar Supernova. Gilby Clarke and Dave Navarro...need I say more? NO! Well anyway, I totally dig Dilana. She's a total performer and could front the band but she had to go and get bitchy and cocky. Sad but true, when you are a strong female you really have to watch how you come across to people. Your strong will can be construed as being an out and out BITCH! So anyway...I hope Dilana didn't hurt her chance to front Supernova. I totally think she could do it! She has my vote...GO DILANA!!

Save a Hog RIDE a Biker!

I thought this cartoon was great. There are always all these sexy pictures of chicks on bikes out there and so I thought I'd objectify men a little bit. HA HA!!!

Thirty Two Flavors Lyrics -- Ani DiFranco

thirty two flavors

squint your eyes and look closer
i'm not between you and your ambition
i am a poster girl with no poster
i am thirty-two flavors and then some
and i'm beyond your peripheral vision
so you might want to turn your head
cause someday you're going to get hungry
and eat most of the words you just said

both my parents taught me about good will
and i have done well by their names
just the kindness i've lavished on strangers
is more than i can explain
still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
just so i would think they were not home
and hid in the dark of their windows
till i'd passed and left them alone

and god help you if you are an ugly girl
course too pretty is also your doom
cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
for the prettiest girl in the room
and god help you if you are a phoenix
and you dare to rise up from the ash
a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
while you are just flying past

i'm not trying to give my life meaning
by demeaning you
and i would like to state for the record
i did everything that i could do
i'm not saying that i'm a saint
i just don't want to live that way
no, i will never be a saint
but i will always say

squint your eyes and look closer
i'm not between you and your ambition
i am a poster girl with no poster
i am thirty-two flavors and then some
and i'm beyond your peripheral vision
so you might want to turn your head
cause someday you might find you're starving
and eating all of the words you said

Why am I torturing myself?

If you are a biker you know that August is the month for the annual pilgrimage to Sturgis, SD. So as you can tell by the date of this blog post I'm here in Des Moines, IA and not in Sturgis, SD. I keep continually torturing myself by going to Sturgisrally.net to watch the crowds on the webcam. Oh how I wish I were there right now. Ok...enough blogging, I need to keep hitting refresh so I can see the next group of people walk by the cam. Next year it will be me walking by that cam and waving "hi" to another poor soul that's not able to make it. But for now I'm that poor soul, dreaming of Sturgis and all its fun and scenic roads for riding.

I want a prize dammit!

Ok...so I'm driving down NW 62nd, which is 25 mph. Along the side of the road is one of those machines that tells you how fast you are going. Everytime I drive by it I think to myself...I was right on 25 mph. I should get a prize dammit!!! Or hey, if you are driving faster than the speed limit the lights start flashing on it...shouldn't you get a prize then? I mean you made the lights flash. I'm not really going anywhere with this, I just find those machines kind of funny. I guess they must stop people from speeding because they keep using them. I just think if you hit 25 or make the lights flash you should get a prize of some sort...and I don't mean a ticket either. :)

Dilana from Rockstar Supernova - One Cool Chick!

Dilana from Rockstar Supernova! Ok...I knew I liked this chick from the first time I heard her sing but now that I see she's a biker chick I like her even more. If you haven't checked out Rockstar Supernova and heard this woman sing you are truly missing out. She gives me chills with each performance. Even if she doesn't become the lead singer for Supernova, I think she's got a career ahead of her in the music biz. I'll buy her albums.

Look around you....Share the road with us!

Wake up cage drivers and look for us. We are sharing the road with you and you need to look around before pulling into an intersection or changing lanes. And you wonder why we have loud pipes on our motorcycles even though sometimes that doesn't even work. I'm saddened once again because of the report that another fellow rider lost his life because a driver of a cage failed to yield. Thomas Maske, 36 died of injuries from a motorcycle accident that occurred July 10th. An 18 yr old driver will be charged with failure to yield.

RIP Thomas...may you ride even freer in heaven.

Me and My Gang??? HUH?

Ok...Rascal Flatts, go back to making good music. The new me and my gang song is awful! Have you read the lyrics....

Way on down to southern Alabama With the guitars jammin' that's where we're headed Straight up to Butte, Montana singin' Lord I was born a ramblin' man California to Oregon Even New York City got one or two hillbillies ready to hit the road It's a brother and a sister kinda thang Raise up your hands if you all wanna hang with Me and my gang We live to ride, we ride to live Me and my gang Jump on that train Grab a hold of them reins We gonna rock this thang, cock this thang Me and my gang We got hippies, gypsies, freaks and geeks High class women in Daisy Duke denim Bangin' on gongs and singin' our songs dude named elrod jammin' on an ipod Beer and bonfires Wide open throttle, Coors in a bottle It's all for one and ONE FOR ALL YA'LL It's a brother and a sister kinda thang Raise up your hands if you all wanna hang with Me and my gang We live to ride, we ride to live Me and my gang Jump on that train Grab a hold of them reins We gonna rock this thang, cock this thang Me and my gang

And what's up with this We live to ride and we ride to live lyric? I didn't know that Rascal Flatts ranked up there as an Outlaw Country group.

Funny stuff

Today on my way to work I saw the funniest thing....A trucker girl sticker on a mini van. It cracked me up.

The New Zippy Pickle!

The new ride! Sweeeeeet! Happy 4th!
