Japanese bikers stealing underpants! STRONG KUNG FU MOFO

Monday, July 28th, 2008

A man on a motorcycle in Kakamigahara City knocked down a 15 year old girl, sprayed a substance into her face to immobilise her…. And then stole her UNDERPANTS before riding off.

The victim told police that the man was in his 30s and about 170 cm tall, and wearing a black full-face helmet and black clothes.

Japan has a long history around schoolgirl underpants - tales abound of machines where you can purchase them used and internet sales of the same items. It would appear that now the trend might be taking an even more bizarre twist.

This incident is one of many that occur in the overcrowded cities of Japan. Fetish has become so well acepted that many of the “HIt and Run” instances,[ all of which occur on motorcycles]  dont get reported.

GENE POOL CLEAN  UP TIME
Richmond, Virginia

Man wants to die so he can get a new mortorcycle.
A Virginia man who whose execution has been pushed back three times because of questions about his mental capacity is scheduled to die Tuesday unless the governor or courts step in again.

Percy Walton, 29, was sent to death row for robbing, tourtureing and killing three neighbors in Danville Virginia  in 1996. He is set to die by lethal injection at 9 p.m. Tuesday and would becoming the 100th person executed in Virginia since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment in 1976. Only Texas, with 405, has executed more

“His mental condition, in my own opinion, is just as it was before,” Nash Bilisoly said.

Walton’s attorneys claim he suffers from schizophrenia and that he does not understand his execution.

Walton insists he is ok in his own execution because [ as he puts it] “Once I am dead, i will get to go to burger king and buy a new motorcycle. ” All i want to do is have some fun ridding around on a motorcycle” ? .

Walton displays no remorse for his previous deeds and does claim if he only had a motorcycle to ride as a younger person none of this would have ever happened.


WEE, WEE, WEE, ALL THE WAY TO COURT

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Did you know that Tacoma, Washington has a law that could ban Harley-Davidson motorcycles? According to the News Tribune, an interesting court case has developed involving the owner of a hog, city prosecutors are arguing that the owner is violating a law banning hogs in the city limit. Taking his case to superior court, it appears that Harley-Davidson motorcycles could be banned within the city limits.

While this court case is really about the definition of a “hog” the definition in the book city prosecutors are using define a hog as:

  • Black’s Veterinary Dictionary, which defines a hog as a “male pig after being castrated.”
  • Collins Essential English Dictionary’s first definition of hog is a “castrated male pig.”
  • Encarta defines hog as “a full-grown domestic pig, especially a castrated male pig.”
  • But www.dictionary.com defines hog as slang “a large, heavy motorcycle.”

Luckily the court case is really about animals and the defense lawyer was just using the hog definition of a motorcycle as an example of how the city was using the wrong terminology. But it does go to show that the wrong interpretation of an old law on the books could really impact motorcycles owners, at least in Tacoma.

Hopefully they get the law straightened out and decide on what really is a hog and what ain’t, so bikers can ride into town without “breaking” Tacoma’s anti-hog laws.
