Happy St Patrick Day 2011
Happy St. Paddy Day!

Nice Harley-Davidson motorcycle ad, if it is an official Harley ad?

It's a bit artsy, but the story is good. Why work the same humdrum job if you can go riding?

We as a category of people like the good stuff. We obviously love motorcycles, but we also like good food and booze. Sometimes, a bit too much.

Many of us, and that includes myself, could do with a few pounds less. But some bikers are way overboard. I guess being overweight has its advantages:.

Here are 33 photos of fat, overweight and obese motorcycle riders.

Here's a gig any hot blooded male (or even female) motorcycle rider would love to have....

Many thanks to all of you for your kind words. It meant a lot to us. My father did indeed pass away, not in a nice way, at 2 AM Monday morning. At least he is in peace now.

I'm back today, but need to take the next few days to do some administrative things. Regular programming starts Monday morning, usual Bat-channel, usual Bat-time.

Again, many thanks for your kind words, via comments, emails, twitters and Facebook.
