The 17th of this month Pete will be two years old and has rode in the van with me since He was 5 weeks. Spent the first few months in the van night and day and now it’s His World and I just live in it. Would like to and hope to purchase an Ultra Classic soon and teach Pete to ride on the back and give the van a break. Now the Events that have No Pets on their flyer and on Event Rules, tell Me that No Pets doesn’t mean “No Pete” and that they want to see Him at the Events, what’s up with that, it’s Pete’s World and I just Live in it. Enough of Pete for now, let’s move on, fall means More Rally’s and Events to attend as it gets cooler and the storms past through. I mention the storms because we seem to have them every day and the Gulf Coast is under a Hurricane watch as I write this tonight. We need the rain as many of the Farmers in South Georgia have dry wells from the drought we have been experiencing the last couple of years. Rain is a Good thing and needed, but every afternoon really makes for a miserable ride no matter what the destination. Be Safe and be prepared for the weather challenges and changes by wearing protected clothing and checking out your Bike before getting on the road. While out riding be sure to stop by and visit with the Advertisers here in the magazine and thank them for supporting this magazine by advertising each month. Their Support is what brings this Magazine to you each month, and tell them you saw their ad in Thunder Roads Magazine Georgia. Enjoy your ride and until next month. Ride Safe Jerry Mc Ride Often Thunder Roads Magazine® Georgia 2 Ride Free Remember Through Prayer “Another Planet” Hayden planetarium in New York ran an advertisement in New York newspapers, inviting those who would like to make the first journey to another planet to submit an application. In just a matter of days 18,000 people applied! These applications were then given to a panel of psychologist who upon receiving them concluded the vast majority of those who applied wanted to start life on another planet because they were so discouraged by life on this one!! I can tell you how you can spend eternity in Heaven a perfect place! You have to be perfect to get there and since none of us are we must trust in Jesus to get us there! Make your reservations today! Prayer for the month: Dear Lord, you have prepared a place in eternity for us called heaven. Help us to turn in faith to you to get there. Heal on nation, hurting families, discouraged people and help us all with daily struggles.

This is Keith Taylor a Friend of “Preacher Man” since 1971, I am Still in Afghanistan...”Base Camp Leatherneck” USMC protecting us, very well I might add, and I’ve been here since September. 3rd 2011 and will be leaving here on the 1st of September 2012. I have seen a lot here that most people will never see. I’ve seen in the eyes of Soldiers that are “scared” and most that are confident in their reason’s for being here in Afghanistan. Their job is Enduring Freedom for the Afghanistan People and I myself am part of that cause. I am Proud to serve My “Country” by making sure that “Our” Soldiers Vehicles are Maintained and “Mission Ready”, I work on all types of vehicles here, Humv’s, 7ton,several different Models, Mrap”s the Marines and Army’s different Types. I Rebuild IED blast vehicles as well as Perform Preventive maintenance.. There have been...28 rockets sent out from inside our base here To...give the Taliban a “BAD DAY” and I’m restful at night with all the Gyrocam Hovercraft in the air at Night...insuring a Restful, safe Night and day. The Bike that’s in the picture...cost about $900.00 Brand new and is a 125cc bike. It does give me the Thrill of riding a Motorcycle on this Base even though the speed is...15mph or 24km as they say on our Speed Limit signs here...the MP’S are very Strict here “But” heck...I’m on a Motorcycle.. Thanks a lot for the Coverage Here and I’m already Booked For PC...”Thunder Beach” Bringing a 25 year old British Kid to the States for 14 days of Riding Harley’s...

Everyone can acknowledge that our society has a understanding that there is no love greater than a “Mother’s” love. Mothers teach us how to be Gentleman. Fathers, teach us how to be Men. The input of these individual parents have developed each of us into the unique persons that we have become. Right about now you are probably flipping back to the front cover to see if this is a biker magazine, since this is a motorcycle magazine, let’s relate this subject to the Biker world. Can you recall the first time you were at a Biker function and witnessed two bikers embraced and then kiss on the lips? There you were, you and your buddies had just rode up and parked your new V-Twin steed. Together you were enjoying the ambience of the occasion. Bam! Your riding partner looks at you and asks, “Did you see that?” If you are like most, new to the biker world, this act of affection probably struck you a little odd that grown men would act this way, especially “Bikers”. If you felt this way, you should realize that you are naive and ignorant to the ways of the biker world. You should not consider this act of “True Brotherhood” anything else but a demonstration of “LOVE & RESPECT“. I believe, if you or your buddies were to make a comment referring to this act of true Brotherhood as though it was something other than that, and loud enough for the two full grown bikers to hear. This would be a grave mistake. The “old school” way of dealing with this obviously stupid comment would be for those two “real bikers” to walk over and stomp you and your buddies. This would be a life lesson that you would never forget. After this lesson, you would understand that those two men could kiss on the lips because their brotherhood is that strong. Many different individuals on their ride thru life demonstrate “True Brotherhood” in many different ways. This is just one of those demonstrations of brotherhood and the love they have for the other. Dads teach boys how to be men; Moms teach boys how to be gentlemen. If Mom had not taught these two bikers how to be gentlemen, instead of a good ass whooping, these two grown bikers would have probably stomped the life out of you! But, being in the new school era, they might just make you and your buddy to demonstrate the same kind of brotherhood that you had just witnessed. These two bikers, for the next 30 minutes, would have consumed a twelve pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer.during your lesson on brotherhood, making sure you know “What Up”! Therefore, I hope you have taken the time to show your Mom and Dad the appreciation they deserve for making you the person you are today! It’s not queer, gay or any thing else but a open demonstration of love and respect to the other. In touch with their MANHOOD !! And man enough to kick your ass if you make it anything else.

Rooster is a Friend of All and has always been there when called on to Help a Brother or Sister and to have the opportunity to Help those who Help Others is No better feeling. We Love Ya, “Rooster”… Thunder Roads Magazine® Georgia 10 Thunder Roads Magazine® Georgia 11 Thunder Roads Magazine® Georgia 12 Thunder Roads Magazine® Georgia 13 Thank You Ladies, Gentlemen, Brothers & Sisters, Today is a PROUD and HONORABLE day for Motorcyclist everywhere. The Southside Riders Association is but a name. It is a name that represents the finest people in Georgia. YOU are the SRA and you make a difference every day. Today, The SRA has been recognized by a Letter from the Governor of the State Of Georgia, Commendation by the Lt. Governor of the State Of Georgia, a Thank You and Recommendation from Austin Scott from the Georgia House of Representatives, and a Proclamation and “The Southside Rider’s Association Day” by the Spalding County Government, and a Proclamation and “The Southside Rider’s Association Day” by the City Of Griffin. We read the Mission Statement at every meeting. It is on everything we print, the Board Of Directors uses it as the Rule and Guide for all that we do….. The Mission Statement speaks of improving the image of the motorcyclist in our community. How much more proof do we need than this? Our Community is better because we are here! There are currently 190,000 registered motorcyclist in Georgia. The motorcycle community is a very dedicated and very giving group of people. Each and every weekend, there are numerous fundraisers for everything from Autism, to Cancer, to Diabetes, to the Ronald McDonald House, to Wounded Warriors, to needy children, to providing Christmas Joy, to the families of Fallen Soldiers and Fallen Officers. Groups such as the Blue Knights, The Patriot Guard, ABATE, The Southside Riders and many others have made it their role in the community to find ways to be of service. I think it is safe to say that the motorcyclists in Georgia believe that making the way better for others makes the way better for ourselves. We give NOT because we have many .. We give because we fully understand having NOTHING That is where the Heart Meets The Highway We need to thank the State and Local Governments for their support and encouragement for us and the Motorcycle Community. Also, I would like to apologize to the SRA for the secrecy and the charade that took place leading up to this day. I believed that stirring everyone up just a bit would make the awards more memorable. I wish only that this day is with you forever and it is a day that makes you proud that we do what we do….. A very special Thanks to Mona Castile, and to Earle Shivers for their time and effort in making this possible.

FEDERAL E-15 MINIMUM FUEL PURCHASE MANDATE “However inconceivable it may seem, ethanol has managed to earn itself another enemy. To service-station owners, refiners, vintagecar collectors, economists and car manufacturers themselves, add motorcycle riders,” reported the New York Times in announcing a new EPA mandate that requires consumers to purchase a minimum of 4 gallons of E-15 gasoline. At issue is E15, a gasoline blend consisting of 15% ethanol, rather than the typical 10% formulation E10. The federal Environmental Protection Agency has approved E15 for all cars from the 2001 model year and newer, but the E.P.A. has not approved its use for any motorcycles or all-terrain vehicles and its use could void manufacturers’ warranties. To help keep E15 out of these and other unapproved nonroad engines, service stations offering E15 and E10 from the same pump station must agree to sell a minimum of 4 gallons of fuel per purchase in order to protect the engine of the next customer’s vehicle, as the fueling hose retains roughly a third of a gallon from the previous customer’s fill-up. But not all motorcycle fill-ups reach four gallons, as some motorcycles don’t have tanks with that volume, or their owners may want to merely top them off. use. With “thousands of red white and blue jobs on the line” in America’s cutting edge E-bike industry, Wyden says the tax break is necessary and will cost $15 million over two years. Now the measure will be considered by the full Senate. NADAguides RELEASES LATEST MOTORCYCLE TRENDS The latest data regarding motorcycle shopping and research trends has been released from NADAguides, an online new and used powersports pricing and information resource. And though the economy has yet to recover from the slump, consumer interest and motorcycle sales are gradually increasing. The Motorcycle Industry Council says overall worldwide year-on-year motorcycle sales are up 3.6%, and NADAguides research shows that consumer interest and research has grown 15% in the second quarter of 2012 over the second quarter of 2011. NADAguides says the largest segments receiving growth and interest are trikes and touring scooters with a step-through chassis. Industry sales of touring scooters are up 5.6% year-to-date and have recorded a year over year traffic increase on NADAguides.com of 24% over the past year. Touring scooters provide a good starting point for consumers who are new to motorcycling because they have more stability and are easy to mount and dismount, and top brands searched on NADAguides.com include models from Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha and Vespa, making up 96% of the traffic in the segment. NADAguides analysts note that trikes or three-wheel motorcycles are also gaining in popularity, registering a year over year increase of traffic on the site up 27%. Appealing primarily to the baby boomer generation, three-wheel motorcycles offer more stability, more comfort for long trips and can be customized and Exactly how a service station with pay-at-the-pump equipment could outfitted with a variety of comfort and convenience packages, such as independent suspension, disc brakes, upgraded audio, large enforce the rule remains unclear, and the new EPA requirement announced in a response to an AMA inquiry is already generating lockable storage and more. Top trike or three-wheel motorcycle brands searched on NADAguides.com include models from Canire on Capitol Hill where Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) Am, Harley-Davidson, Boss Hoss and Lehman Trikes, making up told the Times; “The E.P.A. has no business mandating how much 93% of the traffic in the segment. gasoline Americans have to buy when filling up at the pump. What if a rider doesn’t have a motorcycle with a four gallon tank,” SLEEPY DRIVERS AS DANGEROUS AS DRUNKS he challenged. “Or if someone wants to fill a canister for their lawnmower or outboard boat engine, but it only holds two or three Being sleepy behind the wheel is almost as dangerous as drinking gallons? Or what if an American, struggling in this economy, just and driving, according to a study from France, with drivers who can’t afford four gallons of gas?” were either drunk or sleepy at least twice as likely to cause a vehicle ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLES EXTENDED TAX CREDIT accident as their sober or well-rested counterparts. Good news for eco-minded aficionados of two-wheeled transport, as the Senate Finance Committee has approved a tax credit for purchasers of on-road electric motorcycles amounting to 10% of the purchase price up to $2,500. For the study, researchers under the direction of Nicholas Moore at the Centre Hospitalo-Universitaire de Bordeaux analyzed information from 679 drivers admitted to a hospital in southwestern France for more than 24 hours because of a serious accident between 2007 and 2009. “Sleepiness carried almost as much risk as alcohol ingestion,” wrote Moore and his colleagues in a letter in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Electric-powered two wheelers have been without a federal purchase incentive since the beginning of 2012, when the original tax break expired that was part of the $800 billion stimulus package passed in 2009. The committee approved a bipartisan package of tax credits on August 2, including the amendment by Senator Ron Wyden (DOR) to extend the tax credit for buying EV bikes designed for street News Bytes Researchers used information from driver questionnaires and police reports to determine what may have contributed to the accidents. Drivers reported what medications they were on, their alcohol use and how sleepy they had been before the crash, while patient files provided information on blood alcohol levels. Thunder Roads Magazine® Georgia 22 The majority of the injured drivers were under 55 years old and men. Over half were on a motorcycle, about one-third in a car and 10% on a bicycle at the time of the accident. The police determined that 355 of the drivers were responsible for their crash. From that, Moore and his colleagues found that being between the ages of 18 and 29 years old, driving a car, drinking alcohol and being sleepy were all tied to an increased risk of causing an accident. “We know from experimental studies that just four hours of sleep loss will produce as much impairment as a six pack (of beer),” said Christopher Drake, an associate scientist at the Henry Ford Hospital Sleep Disorders and Research Center in Detroit, who was not involved in the study. “If you have a whole night of sleep loss, that’s equivalent to having a blood alcohol content of 0.19,” Drake told Reuters news service. A blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent is considered legally drunk in most U.S. states. that involve grave threat to personal liberty,” the report adds. START was founded with the aid of a $12 million DHS grant, and their most recent report is described by its authors as the latest part in a series of studies sponsored by the Human Factors/Behavioral Sciences Division, Science and Technology Directorate and the US Department of Homeland Security in support of the Counter-IED Prevent/Deter program: “The goal of this program is to sponsor research that will aid the intelligence and law enforcement communities in identifying potential terrorist threats,” write the authors, which is done “using stateof-the-art theories, methods and data from the social and behavioral sciences to improve understanding of the origins, dynamics and social and psychological impacts of terrorism.” Apparently, loving America is precisely one of those factors found out through the latest space-age understanding of the human mind. RIGHTS ACTIVISTS LABELLED TERRORISTS WEIRD NEWS: MIND-READING HELMET Long-serving National Coalition of Motorcyclists board member Glen Fengstad of ABATE of Montana (Co-Director, NCOM Region III) submitted the following news item from www.rt.com along with the observation that “I think it targets all of us to a tee”: Speaking of the human mind, and conspiracy theories, perhaps the latest interrogation device -- a mind-reading helmet -- will help authorities identify us freedom-loving “terrorist” bikers. Veritas Scientific is working on an EEG helmet that carries a slideshow of images that could reliably identify an enemy. The device is shaped like a motorcycle-helmet with metal brush sensors that will read brain activity as images flash quickly across the inside of the visor. Are you suspicious of federal authority? How about really into individual liberty? Well according to a new study funded by the US Department of Homeland Security, you very well might be a terrorist. A report published earlier this year by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) at the University of Maryland has surfaced, and in their DHS-funded findings, Americans “reverent of individual liberty” and others adamant about protecting their personal freedoms are categorized as extreme rightwing terrorists. In the paper, “Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States, 1970-2008”, researchers characterize what traits should be considered when describing right-wing terrorists, and identifies “groups that believe that one’s personal and/or national ‘way of life’ is under attack,” and those that are “suspicious of centralized federal authority” and “believe in conspiracy theories Electroencephalography (EEG) is the science of measuring brainwave patterns produced by the brain in response to internal or external stimuli. Familiar images prompt spikes of electrical brain activity that indicate recognition, say scientists. The company places its EEG helmet work in the realm of “interrogation technology,” and sees its device of use to the U.S. military to help them pick friend from enemy…sure, that’s just what they want you to believe! The technology is also suggested as useful for law enforcement.

Serene Forest encompasses the entire area, beautiful lake, waterfall, and stream flowing through the camping area, grist mill and out buildings all beautiful rustic design. Green grass and roads that were manicured to accommodate riders traveling around this rally. There were plenty of food vendors and a few shops brought some kick butt custom bikes to the bike show, as well as individuals that entered their own custom built creations. Overall, despite all the controversy that the sponsors had to over come to have this event. From city council dragging their feet on approval of the location to the Jasper paper actually printing that this event was cancelled the day of the event. To a monsoon rain storm the evening it all started. Those that came had one heck of a good time; out standing was the word that you heard over and over. Bands from all over playing that good ole southern rock and roll. Bounty Hunter really got the crowd hopping Saturday nite followed by Slim Molly as the finally.

Bikefest PRETZEL COVERED PORK CHOPS 1 10 pack of center-cut pork loin chops *Pound them with meat mallot until 1/2” thick. 2 Eggs; lightly beaten 1/4 Cup of All-Purpose Flour 1-1/2 Cups of Sourdough Pretzels; pulsed in food processor, or just put in gallon size zip lock bag, leave open just a fraction and roll over & over with rolling pin until fine ground. 1/2 Stick of Butter Salt & Pepper to Your Taste Set up 3 pie pan shape bowls; one filled with flour, one with beaten egg mixture and one with ground pretzels. Season your chops on both sides with S&P and any other spices you prefer; rosemary goes great w/ pork, as does mint or sage. Mix spices in a small bowl and rub all over chops. Meanwhile get a pan medium hot, but get it searing hot, drag all chops thru your three mixtures; First dredge in flour, then beaten egg bath, then onto pretzel dredge. Cover them thoroughly and pat them down into the pretzels to hold onto and cling to chops. Heat butter in a BIG skillet or an electric or flat electric skillet. Put them in when a drop of water in skillet jumps back; you want that nice sizzle when dropping your chops If you’re doing on grill, you can fit all of them in, other-wise, just do in (2) batches. When done place on plate covered with 3 sheets of paper towels to drain off excess grease. Keep in warm 200 oven until 2nd batch done. These are so crunchy outside and the pretzel flavor just soaks it all up, It’s easy to make, but baby, wayyyyyy easier to eat. These go quick! Go get ya’ some. CAULIFLOWER GRATIN (fancy name for cheese) 1 Head of Fresh Cauliflower (very inexpensive). Cut into cauliflower and cut up into clusters, like you’ve seen done to the frozen kind. 3 Tbls. of All-Purpose Flour 4 Tbls. of Real Butter or Quality Margarine (ICBINB)_ (I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter) 2 Cups of Whole Milk Sprinkle gently with Nutmeg 1 Cup of Shredded Gruyere cheese Salt & Pepper to Taste Bring a large pot of salted water to a hard boil. Drop the clusters of cauliflower into boil. Don’t let go too long. About 5 mins. max. Make sure still stiff, don’t let it go limp on you (no woman appreciates that). Drain cauliflower and place into an ice bath to completely stop them from cooking any longer. In a saucepot, heat butter over medium heat. In a saucepan, heat up your butter or margarine, Mix it all around carefully until all flour incorporated; should be a gray-pale yellow color. Let this remain to cook down for about 2-3 minute to get that flour taste out. This process should be done fast and steady. Then, add your milk and nutmeg a little at a time while still whisking. Salt, Pepper & Nutmeg to taste. Next, add your cheese generously. Spread it all out. Place all in open lid casserole dish and bake for in a 300 degree oven for 30 minutes. Make sure the top gets brown & bubbly. Just be sure to layer the cheese & other ingredients but also have enough of the sauce to add as a dunkin dip. This cheese gravy is actually perfect for the pork. O.C. Bikefest GRILLED WATERMELON 1 big, long, juicy watermelon Get a really good knife and make sure it’s sharp Cut deep into the wa watermelon several lines along the length, then cut across the other way to create a chess effect. I love to grill watermelon and get grill marks on it which makes it much sweeter and succulent. Now, while watermelon chunks on medium grill, remember, they don’t have to grill for long. Just throw together some fresh mint, garlic, olive oil, basil and mix it all up to pour over baby spinach or any lettuce of your desire. This is so refreshing and perfect for September evenings. CUCUMBER & HONEYDEW MARGARITA’S 2 Cups of Honeydew Melon 1 Cup pf Seedless, Peeled Cucumber plus extra round discs for garnish 1/4 cup of Mint 2 Tbls. Honey 1/2 Cup of Lime Juice 2 Cups of Tequila Take a Marqarita glass, slide a slitted cucumber all around rim of glass and dip into a flat plate of salt. Throw in a cup of cubed ice for frozen style or blend longer and just pour over cubes of ice. Either way goes down smoothas honey....dew. Thunder Roads Magazine® Georgia 29 A husband and wife were sitting watching a TV program about psychology which was explaining the phenomenon of “mixed emotions”. The husband turned to his wife and said, “That is an absolute bunch of crap. I bet you can’t tell me one thing that will make me happy and sad at the exact same time. She said: “Out of all your friends, you have the biggest penis.” teacher’s desk. “$2,467.”, he said.”$2,467!” cried the teacher, “What in the world were you selling?” ”‘Toothbrushes”, said Little Johnny. “How could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much money?” “Well, I found the busiest corner in town”, said Little Johnny, “I set up a Dip & Chip stand and I gave everybody who walked by a free sample. “They all said the same thing, “Hey, this tastes like dog poop!” Then I would say, “It is dog poop. Wanna’ buy a toothbrush? A married couple is driving down the interstate doing 55 mph. The husband is behind the wheel. His wife looks over at him and says, “Honey, I know we’ve been married for 15 years, but, I want a divorce.” The husband says nothing but slowly increases speed to 60 mph. She then says, “I don’t want you to try to talk me out of it, because I’ve been having an affair with your best friend, and he’s a much better lover than you.” Again the husband stays quiet and just speeds up as his anger increases. She says, “I want the house.” Again the husband speeds up, and now is doing 70 mph. She says, “I want the kids, too.” The husband just keeps driving faster, and faster, now he’s up to 80 mph. She says, “I want the car, the checking account, and all the credit cards, too.” The husband slowly starts to veer toward a bridge overpass piling, as she says, “Is there anything you want?” The husband says, “No, I’ve got everything I need.” She asks, “What’s that?” The husband replies just before they hit the wall at 90 mph, “I’ve got the airbag!” While examining his lady patient, the doctor tells her: “Your heart, lungs, pulse & BP are fine. Now let me see that cute little thing which gets you ladies into all kinds of trouble.” The woman a tad turned on by the young doctor starts quickly taking off her slacks and panties and is standing nude from the waist down. The Doctor turned around , stopping her and said: “No! No! Please put on your clothes. I meant for you to just show me your tongue.” The kids filed into class Monday morning. They were all very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on salesmanship. Little Sally led off. “I sold Girl Scout cookies and I made $30” she said proudly, “My sales approach was to appeal to the customer’s civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success.” “Very good”, said the teacher. Little Debbie was next. “I sold magazines” she said, “I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events.” “Very good, Debbie”, said the teacher. Eventually, it was Little Johnny’s turn. The teacher held her breath. Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher’s desk. “$2,467.”, he said.”$2,467!” cried the teacher, “What Steel Cowboy’s Tombstone: The Headstone of Russell J.

ABATE of GEORGIA PO Box 116 Austell, GA 30168 770.881.7438 WHY EVERY BIKER NEEDS UM INSURANCE In today’s economy, everyone is trying to stretch their dollar farther. However, one corner you should never cut is the UM Insurance Coverage on your motorcycle and family automobiles. Many folks don’t know what UM Coverage is until they need it. So, what is it? UM stands for Un-Insured/ UnderInsured Motorist Coverage and it provides you a way to be financially compensated if you are in a collision caused by another driver and that person does not have any auto insurance. UM also provides coverage in the event of a collision caused by a another driver that does not have enough insurance to fully compensate you for your medical bills, lost wages, property damage or pain and suffering caused by the collision. The State of Georgia requires every driver to carry a minimum of $25,000.00 in automobile insurance coverage. Unfortunately, if one of us are injured in a motorcycle wreck, then the medical bills may be substantially higher than the at fault driver’s minimum coverage. Let’s use a common situation we have all experienced. Imagine driving down a road when a car makes a left turn across your path. If a collision occurs, then the biker could experience injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or even death. The medical bills will cost far more than the $25,000 minimum coverage. This is where your UM Coverage comes into play. It provides additional financial recovery for you to compensate for medical bills, lost wages and damages that exceed the at fault driver’s insurance coverage. Better yet, your UM Coverage travels with you if you are injured in someone else’s vehicle. Think of it as a cloud of protection that follows you and provides additional recovery if you are injured by an uninsured or underinsured driver. Hopefully, you will never have to deal with this complex legal situation after an accident. But, if you are in a motorcycle or automobile collision, then please give me a call at (office) 404-237-4440 or (cell) 770-780-2231 so we can meet and discuss your options. Bryan N. Cigelske, Esq.
