Hotdyceshootr Cruising Across America!

I finally decided to fire up those big V-twin Harley's of mine and head out on the road for some adventure (born to be wild, heavy metal thunder, and all of that "Wild One" stuff). I want to live life the way it was meant to be lived. There is no better way to feel free than hanging on to the handle bars of a big piece of American Iron and cruising the highways and byways of America. So follow along with me as I set out to cruise across this great land of ours. If you happen to see me out there sometime, say hi. You just might find yourself "Cruising America with Hotdyceshootr", and what I ask you, could be better than that?

Here he is, da Gez, my riding buddy and my cuz at the ABATE Fossil 2002 Campout. My mom and dad still haven't forgivin him for turning me on to the Harley lifestyle. No pretend here, da Gez is a biker through and through.

Meet "Biker Babe" (a true biker girl if there ever was one). Although we have known each other for many years and in fact had a very "unique" encounter in the mid 1980's, we never became friends. However in 2002, our "paths" once  again  joined and we believe that joining to have been preordained. She plans on  riding with me alot from now on. The best part is that she wants to ride on the back. Now you all know why that is the best part don't you? That means...she has to put her arms around me!!! What is that I hear, could it be bells!?!? Update: Her mother said "yes", her father said "absolutely not". What will "Biker Babe" say? Update: After an evening at Roxy's Martini Bar in Reno, NV she said: "YES"! She even still said yes after a three and a half hour ride in the pouring rain and freezing weather over Mt Hood on the way back from Fossil '03. As a matter of fact, she commented that she enjoyed the cruise (ya right). Update: On July 21, 2003 in Reno, NV, we both said "I do" and we did! Update: We are living  "happily everafter"! Update: Yes, we are still "happily married" and we had a very "Merry Christmas". We plan on a "Happy New Year" as well!!!

Here is the gang that was responsible for all of the police presence in Laughlin 2003. From left to right: Big Bad Jim, Ole Steel Shoe Gordo, Hotdyceshootr, The Hitman, and Tire Smokin' Larry.

"Ole Steel Shoe Gordo" getting his Shovelhead ready for a ride into Laughlin for dinner. A flat track racer from the 70's, Gordo used to mix it up the likes of; Mert Lawwill, Dave Aldana, Gary Nixon and Gene Romero. In fact this was the view of ole Gordo that they were all used to... just as they were ready to lap him.

Here he is folks; "Big Bad Jim", shining that new Softail Springer of his. By the end of the week, all of the bikers stood aside to let him pass through. Was it because he emmitted; confidence, arrogance, charisma, leadership, strength, power, and testosterone, or was it because he did not use the showers all week?

The Hitman just after enjoying some TT action with Gordo while cruising in on Route 66 from Kingman.

Big Bad Jim still a little shaken after that ride in from Kingman on Route 66. Steady now, just like the cops say, one foot in front of the other; heel-toe-heel-toe. From now on, I'll get my kicks on the Interstate.

"Tire Smokin' Larry" with "The Hitman" looking for a vendor stand to buy some new rubber for his ride. Larry's tracks always warned us that the turn into Katherines Landing was just ahead  (about 200 feet ahead).
