Another Sociopath Behind the Wheel…

Can anyone identify this man? Perhaps one of you works with him somewhere in the Seattle/Tri-Cities area… and can look him dead in the face and remind him that motorcyclists are people too? And that what he did was not only life threatening, but absolutely sociopathic?  The definition of a sociopath is, “a person with a psychopathic personality whose behavior is antisocial, often criminal, and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience” (from Dicationary.com).

Sid and his drunken late night comment happened to win him this one of a kind print from photographer GIles Clement!  Sometimes it pays to follow the directions- he signed up for the MotoLady email bulletin and then left a note about how he found the website as directed for Day 5 of Seven Days of Giveaways. A random number then left him victorious! To be brutally honest, I found you because I was looking for nice wallpapers of real chicks on bikes, rather than photoshopped bimbos. Looked around for a while and… Continue Reading »

To Protect and Swerve? Police Officers & Motorcycle Accidents

[Semi-NSFW warning] Lanakila MacNaughton, photographer extraordinaire, had her gallery premier of the Women’s Motorcycle Exhibit in Portland at See See Motor Coffee on July 12th, 2013.  Lana photographs real women who ride, stripped down (sometimes literally, always figuratively) and embracing the freedom of riding, being a woman, and having the ability to do what they damn well please. Well, at least that’s the vibe I get from it.  Asked to photograph the ride to the show, I called up my friend Tony (who has a nice sissy bar on his bike, great… Continue Reading »
