Dykes on Bikes wins

[andrewlittle]

A self-described "men's advocate" attorney has lost the final attempt to block the Dykes on Bikes from trademarking their name. I'm not sure what it says about this guy that he claimed that the name was a threat to men. Maybe his big mouth and legal degree are compensating for some kind of inadequacy elsewhere.


A San Francisco motorcycle club gained long-sought legal approval Monday for its trademark of the name "Dykes on Bikes" when the U.S. Supreme Court turned away a challenge from a lawyer who said the term denigrated men.

Back in the day........

I was mechanical resource person for a bunch of these women. Actually, they called themselves "The Girl Squad", but they were the same kinda wimmyn. I did repairs, and gave lessons on bike care, and road safety. Of course, as soon as they saw how I did it, they would just borrow the tools and fix things themselves. Damned uppity buncha wymmen! How many of you have seen a 90 pound female get on a Harley, and ride off?

But they were fun to ride with. And on pride day. they would lead the parade, usually driving the whole parade route rapidly, and then end up riding at the back of the parade as they came around for the second time.

Namaste', Bruce Chris
