Victoria, Australia.
Aussie council endorses vomit tax to assist in liquor clean up.

Northern Victoria, Australia. Sept.19, 2005
A vomit tax has been given the go ahead in Northern Victoria,
Australia.
It will apply to licensed hotels in the Greater Shepparton area which
remain open between 3:00 and 6:00am. The tax increases of up to 11%
will be used to pay for cleaning up the mess left by drunks who are
often sick in the street. It has been introduced after complaints by
shopkeepers who say the late-night drinkers also vandalise their
properties.
But hotelier Ray Sharawara says politicians shouldn't assume hotel
drinkers are responsible for the mess.
He told ABC news: "I think the problem is larger than that.
I think the council is not really facing all the facts. "They're
being, I'd say, emotional and trying to appeal to people's emotions
to get this tax through."But Mayor Chris Hazelman said: "I've had an
enormous amount of support and feedback from the broader community
saying the council needs to do something.

Some of the documentation of the violations included videos of
persons walking up to doors of industry and vomiting onto door
handles, windows, window sills, hoods, Public water fountains,Bus
stops. In one video example a womans dog was the target of the vomit
missiles while on a leash.



EIGHTY YEAR OLD FEMALE isn't hanging up her Harley keys
HAGERSTOWN, MD. (AP) --
At age 80, Gloria Tramontin Struck isn't about to hang up her Harley
keys.
She's the longest enrolled member of the Motor Maids, North America's
oldest women's motorcycle club.
Struck, an Avon representative from New Jersey, sums up the thrill of
riding a big bike in one word, "Freedom".
She's one of more than 200 Motor Maids attending the club's annual
convention in Maryland this past summer.
Motor Maids President Brenda Thatcher says the senior riders are an
inspiration.
She says she no longer fears growing old, because she now knows she
can ride her bike into her 80's.
These ladies are not your typical "Grannies", many of them are N.R.A.
members of which some of them do competition shooting called "Swiss
Riffle Match". When asked if they ever have any fear of ridding in
certain areas or circles the response was,"No" We know how to take
care of ourselves"?.



THE NEWS OF THE "WEIRD"
Alchohol related death continues to harm.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Aug. 11, 2005 (AP)
A 12-year-old girl in Tennessee who was watching a police
presentation about drinking and driving motorcycles and cars in her
class room unexpectedly saw a gruesome photo -- the remains of her
father up on the screen.

The family says they didn't know the accident that killed him had
involved alcohol, and the girl didn't recognize her father's formal
first name when it was announced since she had never heard it before
the picture was shown last month?.
As the pictures flashed across the screen it came to her that the
face of the person on the screen was that of her father. At which
time she burst into tears from the shock.

The girl's mother says she was traumatized by the experience. Family
members are angry over not being consulted prior to the use of the
photographs. Police department officials state once an accident
warrents investigation any evidence, photo. parts, or trace elements
become property of the police department to be used as they see fit
for public good.

Her [ mothers] attorney says police made a terrible mistake and
someone has to pay.
He's asking why 12-year-olds are shown mutilated dead bodies when
they can't drive motorcycles for another four years?.
Knox County officials say they're looking into the incident while
other sources are asking why the children didn't know the fathers
real name was, nor why they did not know how he died in the first
place.

MAYBE IF WE PRAY HARD ENOUGH.
HAWAII, THE BIKERS PARADISE YEAR ROUND.
or merry christmas from the beach.

The first bike club was started in Hawaii circa 1950. A group of
bikers had started racing in the red dirt of Northshore, Oahu and
found they were looking for something to call themselves. As these
bikers started hitting the street together, "The Sons of Hawaii"
became Hawaii's first bike club. Since then a multitude of bike clubs
have emerged and there are currently 16 active clubs on the island.
Despite its lack of exposure there are many who claim that Hawaii is
the best state for the sport. The roads are warm and open 365 days a
year. Bikers soar down the highways with bare skin and the wind
blowing through their hair. The rolling waves and lush greenery serve
as a flawless backdrop as riders flash a friendly "Shaka" as they
cross paths. Club members and bikers from every walk of life are
consistently friendly to each other. The majority of bikers choose to
spend their religious days on the road because they are truly patient
about the sport and have no other ulterior motives.



United States Post office stops going postal,,, and goes biker..
Postal Service Unveils 2006 Commemorative Motorcycle Stamps

What do Baseball, Batman, Brooklyn's Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, Hattie
McDaniel and Harley Davidson have in common? They're all just a
sampling of American icons that will be highlighted on 2006
Commemorative postage stamps, the Postal Service announced today.

"Our 2006 program commemorates a wide range of diverse American icons
with something that will appeal to everyone," said Postmaster General
John E. Potter in describing stamps that will honor Baseball
sluggers, comic book heroes, the world's longest bridge span, the
first African-American to earn an Oscar and America's love affair
with motorcycles.

American Motorcycles

On Aug. 7, during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, SD, the
role of motorcycles in American culture will be recognized on
four "American Motorcycles" stamps featuring digital illustrations of
a 1918 Cleveland, a 1940 Indian Four, a 1965 Harley-Davidson Electra-
Glide, and a circa 1970 chopper. The Cleveland, Indian and Harley-
Davidson stamps are based on motorcycles in existence today. The
circa 1970 chopper featured on the stamp was created by stamp artist
Steve Buchanan in consultation with professional chopper builders.
Although lacking various safety features such as mirrors and turn
signals that are usually required under today's laws, this chopper
would have been street-legal in 1970.

With the issuance of the American Motorcycles stamps, the U.S. Postal
Service recognizes the role of motorcycles in American culture with
four stamps that feature digital illustrations of a 1918 Cleveland, a
1940 Indian Four, a 1965 Harley-Davidson Electra-Glide, and a circa
1970 chopper.

Cleveland 1918
The single-cylinder Cleveland motorcycle depicted on this stamp was
built by the Cleveland Motorcycle Manufacturing Company of Cleveland,
Ohio.

Advertisements claimed that this motorcycle, which featured a 2.5-
horspower, single-cylinder motor, could travel 75 miles on a single
gallon of gasoline and reach speeds of up to 35 to 40 miles per hour.
Weighing around 150 pounds and selling for $175, the Cleveland was
both lightweight and affordable, making it a popular motorcycle of
its time.

The model for the "Cleveland 1918" stamp artwork is a 1918 Cleveland
A2 owned by Penny Nickerson of Long Island, New York.

Indian 1940
The motorcycle depicted on this stamp was made by the Indian
Motorcycle Company. The 1940 entry in a series of deluxe, four-
cylinder motorcycles known as the Four, this streamlined bike
featured skirted fenders that partially covered the wheels, a
controversial design innovation that soon became an Indian trademark.

The model for the illustration featured on this stamp is a motorcycle
owned by Michael and Larry Spielfogel of New York City. It is
depicted in the deep red color often associated with Indian
motorcycles.

Harley-Davidson 1965
With features such as whitewall tires, extensive chrome, large
fenders, and spacious fiberglass saddlebags, the Harley-Davidson
featured on this stamp is considered by many to be one of the
company's most iconic motorcycles. Known as the Electra-Glide, this
model was first manufactured in 1965, when its new features included
a push-button electric starter.

The model for the illustration featured on the Harley-Davidson 1965
stamp is a motorcycle owned by George Tsunis of Port Jefferson, NY.

Chopper c.1970
The name "chopper" derives from the process of removing,
or "chopping," unnecessary or unwanted components from a motorcycle.
The term often indicates an extensively customized motorcycle with
such features as a stretched frame, stepped seat, and raised
handlebars. Typically, the frame has been stretched with an extended-
length fork leading to the front wheel.

Especially prominent during the 1960s and 1970s, choppers follow in a
tradition of earlier customized motorcycles that were known
as "bobbers" for their shortened, or bobbed, fenders.

The circa 1970 chopper featured on this stamp was invented by the
stamp artist in consultation with professional chopper builders.
Although lacking various safety features such as mirrors and turn
signals that are required today, this chopper would have been legal
to ride circa 1970.

The digital illustrations featured on the American Motorcycles stamps
were created by Steve Buchanan of Winsted, CT. The illustrations are
based on existing restored motorcycles, reference photographs, and
consultation with owners and experts; however, some colors and design
features have been altered for artistic purposes or to maintain
historical accuracy.
