Default Crash and BURN on the Dragon

Time to carry fire extinguishers?

Time to install tank sliders.

DEALS GAP, NC - Late in the day yesterday (Wednesday) there was a rider heading northbound and got into some problems at the 10mm(known as the whip or Bens Brights, pending on the map you are looking at). Said rider somehow fell over in the exit of the turn and somehow lost some gas which ignited a fire. As of 6 pm yesterday, it was only about 10 acres, but this am its well over 50 and still burning. Truthfully, I think its even bigger than that, but I cant say for sure unless I had a helicopter. Either way, this is absolutely ridiculous. I know sh-t happens but this makes no sense. The Yamaha R-6 has an issue where you can easily shave a corner off the tank on a longer pavement slide and then ignite the gas in the tank, but I honestly dont know how this could have happened the way it did. I did see the pictures of the fire as it was fresh and the bike was a Suzuki GSXR(750 or 1000, I dont know). The fire was so hot it melted the swing arm completely, along with a couple other key parts. Suffice to say, this bike will not see another day.

Big ass shunt, or ethnic clensing?

Note that most of the fire was intentionally set by the fire dept, then blamed on bikers, which helps THP justify another crackdown in 2008.

Arson on Foothills Parkway intersection with 129 in 2007 imported contract firefighters from Oklahoma, as a park ranger in his Smokey Bear hat wrote me a ticket for "too much lean" while following a slow car below the speed limit. Rangers don't fight fires anymore.

A suspicious person might suspect THP set this fire, by burning one of its confiscated bikes...

For those who trust Big Brother Bundy, read Operation Northwoods and Operation Gladio, and the US Army's robot "train derailment" in Knoxville (but hopper cars don't hold nerve gas), resulting in martial law evacuation of 30,000 sheeple, as disinfobabes laughed on TV Snooze, as the smirking sheriff stole cars and sold dope.

Last night, there were still 100s of fires burning on US129, some right next to the road. Deadly smoke clouds included flameless guysers erupting from holes in the ground. Video looked like Hell on Earth. One gust of wind could burn down the entire Smokies. According to the absent Forest Service and BC fire dept, that's 'under control'. BTW, I put out 2 of those fires using only my feet. Imagine what a fire dept could do if they tried.

That ticket has been on appeal in fed court for nearly a year. He said he didn't radar me for speeding behind a slow car, but "since I was leaning too much that meant I was speeding". So he made an illegal U-turn (without flashing lights and siren), was illegally speeding (without flashing lights and siren), and illegally passed a car on a double yellow line (without flashing lights and siren). Seems the park ranger's in-car video doesn't show my alleged crime, and he turned it off so it wouldn't show his crimes. He deleted all audio from the videotape.

Cops can only break the law when flashing lights and siren are on, so long as they don't crash. If prosecutors refuse to prosecute cops for breaking laws, then they cannot prosecute defendants for breaking those same laws, per Constitutional Equal Protection doctrine in the 14th Amendment (that freed the slaves).

The ranger was surprised to hear that anonymous private corporations keep ALL revenue for all misdemeanor tickets in all federal courts, according to US District Court's website.

Seems the feds think every traffic ticket is worth $5,000 and 6 months in jail, according to the US Attorney quoting US Code.

Now I'm trying to get all misdemanor citations reversed in that court since 1996, when they published the wrong local rule for magistrate judges:

Lee vs US Appellant Briefs and Exhibits

I don't pay traffic tickets anymore.
