Ran (ouch) across this one via Dan Hull. This is what Geeklawyer would call a niche blog, though in the US bikers are a distinct and economically viable sub-culture - so a biker specific lawyer probably isn’t that weird. And He’s going guess he gets decent commercial traffic from his blog.
Biking, and mistrust for the ‘man’, aside though Geeklawyer can’t imagine he and himself would get on too well: flag waving patriots make him want to inflict suffering on the innocent. More than usual, that is.
I’m astonished that biker-specific lawyers are a revelation to you. The UK has a number, the most well known being http://www.whitedalton.co.uk/. I became aware of these lawyers as they advertise a lot in MCN and have a requirement for employment that their lawyers have a full motorcycle licence.
Bikers are a fraternity and naturally gravitate towards members of the brotherhood. Having said this I pick up a lot of criminal road traffic work from bikers, because I am a biker. Its not a brotherhood thing but simply because I have a better understanding of the challenges facing bikers on the road, and what constitutes careless and dangerous driving for a biker. Some prejudice still exists against bikers and it can be difficult to get a fair hearing from car driving magistrates who think bikers are hoodlums unless the case is very carefully presented. I guess Ruthie “bikerbabe” helps to improve the image a bit…
Its Ruthie’s dream to ride a Harley in California. I did hear however that the state recently revoked the law requiring the wearing of helmets and as a result the death rate has increased significantly.
I was aware of lawyers doing bikes and being staffed by bikers - I too read MCN - but this seems to be the biker-lawyer as a full on lifestyle, not just biker as business model.
I think anyone who rides a bike without a helmet is a moron and if they leave their brains on the road as a result then they will have the same IQ before and after the accident.
Some demands for free choice are a damning illusion.
yeah, but astonishingly MAG still campaigns for the right not to wear a helmet in the UK. Whilst I agree that those who choose not to wear a helmet have no brain to damage, I pity the members of the emergency services who are obliged to pick the bits off the road.
Plus not only does a helmet protect your head, it keeps your ears warm.
Yea but so does a burning rag

But Dan, as far as I know you don’t own a bike, which makes me start to wonder…
That’s the thrust of the quote.
I trust you got my mail advising you that I will be in the States in September
Don’t make me destroy Dan as well
My impression of Dan is that he will rip your head off with his bare hands and spit down the hole if you tried. He’s quite…quick.
I get the sense of idle wishing …
Anyway, no-ones harder than me.
I am Ready for Ruthie. Just keep me advised of the dates and particulars of your back-woods tour of Missouri, a state full of Hulls.
“Ready for Ruthie” indicating a state of preparedness reserved by other people for Tornados or flashflooding. I trust you’ve got sandbags, tinned food, emergency gerenerator etc on standby..
And the idea that you might introduce me to members of your family is indicative of a level of faith aspired to by Gandhi…
You’re a brave man Dan. Either brave or wildly reckless.
Or he wants to get laid
Grrr…
