In keeping with the spirit of All Hallow’s Eve, we present the Haunted Motorycle, a photo which GhostStudy.com claims captures “the presence of a disembodied person”. Wooo! Scary!!

Laid-off man tries to help mom buy furniture for her condo, puts a shload of dinero in the pocket of his jacket, takes off on his Ninja. Sadness all around when the jag forgets to zip his pocket and unwittingly distributes cash to motorists on a San Francisco highway.

Dennis Rodman continues to wow audiences who gather outside Las Vegas strip bars to witness his drunken daredevil motorycyle stunts. The idiot strip bar manager decided to loan Rodman his bike for the performance. Don’t worry if you missed this exhibition. Because it’s Vegas, baby, it’s only a misdemeanor, so he’ll be back in the spotlight in no time.

Damn, we missed Evel Knievel’s 65th birthday. Bryan will celebrate by jumping Alf’s scooter over Lake Rutherford on SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!

When searching for follow-up to the naked rider story, I came across an editorial explaining the repeal in a bit more detail. Seems everyone but old people and under-21s can ride sans a skull bucket.

In response to the repeal of Pennsylvania’s helmet law, a group of bikers rode naked through the streets of Pittsburgh on Thursday night (9/4).

Skokie-based Electric Vehicle Technologies is introducing the Equinox, “the first all electric, zero-emission DOT compliant motor scooter designed for public roads”. It’s available in 4 colors, and retails for $2799.

I came across this one afternoon while doing research on “RFP Search Engines” for work. It’s a small but interesting collection of Vespa commercials in Italian and English. Unfortunately, they’re .wmv files, so they only work with Windows Media Player. I think my favorite is VESPAPAP.

Something got my attention straightaway when I walked into Bryan’s apartment in the summer of 1994. What was that thing dangling from our friend Aimee’s arm, claws dug in for dear life? That, my friends, was Bryan’s new kitten, Cannonball.

Forget a bacon cookoff. Here’s what Galewood 2004 will eventually involve.
