I have been thinking about the helmet law. Arkansas does not have one unless you are 20 or younger. It is a matter of choice. I actually like the part about it being a choice. Just as I think that seatbelts should be a choice as well as smoking. Although most studies find that seat do save lives there have been times when if a person had been wearing their seatbelt they would not have lived. So it should be our choice. Smoking I am not a smoker yet if a person owns a restaurant it should be that owners decision to make it smoking or not smoking he should not be told that it has to be one way or the other. He could have on part of his restaurant where there was no smoking and the other for smoking. But then you hear that the smoke still bothers those who do not smoke. I just still feel that it should be left up to the owner’s choice. As for the helmet law. It is a choice in the state of Arkansas but what I want to do some more research on is the use of helmets. Has it actually saved lives. I just don’t feel that if you are on a highway and a car hits you or you hit the car because it did not see you would wearing this helmet save your life.  If any of you read this please let me know your ideas on wearing a helmet. And as I find research I will let you know what I find.

I was on the website Jewelry Passions and found some very interesting reading especially about the toe rings. I did not realize that in other countries the toe ring was a symbol I am not giong to tell a symbol of what. I am going to let you to this website and read it for your self. It has a lot of other interesting posts too about jewelry from making it  yourself to what the different pieces symbolizes. You can tell that the person who owns this website has a passion for jewlery. So if you like to jewelry and want to know more then visit this site.

I want to tell you about a motorcylce shop here in Arkansas where you know you will be take care of. It is M & M's Motorcycle Shop in El Paso. It is owned by Matt and Mary and they are truly awesome people. They will do everything they can to make sure that you get the bike you want or that your bike gets the perfect accessories or repairs. They also carry a large supply of clothing accessories like leather jackets and chaps and they also carry different knick knacks. We went to their 10th anniversay and had a blast. They had some great entertainment. The Plough Dogs were there along with the infamous David Bazell.  They had vendors selling leather goods and jewelry. I had my first BBQ nachos and they were awesome. I got them from a catering wagon that was from Memphis. I wish I had written down the name because I have forgotten. I will have to find out who it was and let everyone know. It was awefully hot that day so we had to drink lots of water along with our beer. Another good thimg about Matt and Mary is that all of the proceeds from this event went to a charitable organization. This one went to Pathfinders. So you ride on up there and pay them a visit and be sure to tell them you read about it on The Bikers Voice.

You have probably read my posts about what a great place Troy's Ironhorse Saloon is. Well it is not Troy's anymore. It is now known as David's Ironhorse Saloon or simply The Ironhorse. The new owner started in business on January 1st of this year. At that time it was still a pretty fun place to go. They still had Stripper tending bar and Starvin Marvin was doing Karoke three nights a week. But it was not long until it started going downhill. Stripper had hired someone she thought was her friend who ended up stabbing her in the back. And to tell the truth I thought she was a friend of mine but I found out she was talking about me behind my back and it was not nice things. But if you want a slutty bartender she is definitely it. They fired Starvin Marvin and brought someone else in to do the karaoke but they soon let them go. They took out the domino table and there were games at that table at least one night a week sometimes two. The owner yelled at a customer across the bar and insulted her. They had a band that came in and played for free but they are gone now too. They no longer have the special parking for bikes as a matter of fact they stopped bike night. But the kicker was when they barred my boyfriend Billy for cussing. They finally lost our business. Along with a lot of others. It really is a shame because it was a happening place not even a year ago. So take my advice don't go to the Ironhorse at least not until it is no longer owned by the couple that owns it now.
