Biking confession

November 22, 2007 – 10:46 pm

Oh dear. Yesterday I did something silly. Very very very silly indeed. Like on a scale of, say, instructing Geeklawyer on a criminal case, instructing VictorianMaiden on an intellectual property case or instructing Ruthie. Yes, as bad as that.
Geeklawyer pulled up to a petrol station on the Terrible and inexorable Wrath of God and filled […]

Be afraid, be very afraid…

June 26, 2007 – 5:41 pm

Ruthie has been in a world of pain for the last couple of weeks drafting schedules, which when the trial preparation jobs are dished out is surely the shortest and shittiest stick to get. However Ruthie, unlike Geeklawyer, accepts that her place in universe means that such tasks are on occassion unavoidable, and serve to […]

Ruthie plays with tools

June 17, 2007 – 6:30 pm

Ruthie has been down at her local generic vehicle maintenance superstore (don’t see why I should mention their name unless they want to pay us for advertising. Hey, since the conference we’re valuable property..baby) buying spanners. Ruthie loves buying tools in macho vehicle parts stores since it so clearly disconcerts all the men in the […]

Motorcycle lawyer blog

May 28, 2007 – 1:30 pm

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 […]

Wear leather

May 7, 2007 – 9:42 pm

No, not a ploy to attract the BDSM crowd (we had enough of them when we posted about civil liberties and pornography), but a cheap trick to highlight the fact that May is motorcycle awareness month. Bikers are singularly vulnerable on the roads, and the attrition rate recently seems to be higher than ever.
If you […]

Biking time again

April 14, 2007 – 9:30 pm

Readers who joined over the winter may be concerned that Ruthie wears leather for fun. Not so, you will be relieved to learn that Ruthie has pulled out the chrome polish and coaxed her motorcycle out of hibernation. Worryingly, a lot of her friends of late seem to be falling off. Fear not. Ruthie never […]

My kind of law enforcement

March 28, 2007 – 6:43 pm

Geeklawyer is newly back on the road; the Terrible and Inexorable Wrath of God had a flat that took ages to repair. Since returning to the highways he has acquired a functional interest in speed signs (though he is a rather sedate rider).
Sadly his local council are unlikely to be pursuing the sort of Danish […]

Motorcycle fails to outrun IP lawyer

March 22, 2007 – 4:40 pm

Well thank heavens for IPKat.
At last, after nearly two years moaning about the lack of one, Geeklawyer has a, TADA!!!!, legitimate IP & motorbikes story. It isn’t a scintillating one to non-IP lawyer bikers, but hey WTF, Geeklawyer will take what he can get.

Apple and Cisco: while I was out …

Apple and Crisco swear blind it was all a misunderstanding.

Mystery YouTube Biker traced in elaborate investigation - found to be a genius

February 19, 2007 – 8:11 pm

The appropriately name Mr Pratt took a fairing view video of himself speeding and doing up to 100mph in a 30mph zone in Somerset, and then posted it to YouTube. Irresponsible without a doubt (though Geeklawyer has a sneaking admiration for his nerve) and posting it to YouTube was pure braggadocio. What beggars belief is […]
