For more than 40 years Jim Wubben has crafted unique bikes that meet the highest industry standards and quality and are made with USA materials PB Choppers are designed to ldquofitrdquo the rider and fulfill the vision he or she has of themselves riding off into the sunset Get a closer look at Jimrsquos creations at the Timonium Motorcycle Show February 8th thru 10th

1) How long have you been involved with your businessoccupation PB CHOPPS AND RODSPB CHOPPERS has been building and restoring bikes car and trucks since 1987

2) What exactly do you do in that capacity Design fabricate and finish everything that enters my shop Irsquom not one of those ldquosit in the officerdquo bosses who is never seen working on a project I am definitely a hands-on guy

3) What can you tell us about your first design My first project involved a case of beer a torch and stick welder along with a garage full of friends When the sun came up that next morning I had crafted my first custom ride

4) Where were you born Forest City Iowa - home of Winnebago Motor Homes and me

5) Where do you currently reside and for how long I have lived in Moravia Iowa since 1976 (population 600 and home of PB Choppers)

6) What is the one thing you would change about yourself I would have taken advantage of more opportunities I have had over the years

7) What would you consider your greatest industry accomplishments Winning the biker build off in 2005 against two other builders with over

14000 votes for ldquoANGEL EYESrdquo

8) Where would you most like to reside if you could Anywhere you can ride all year round

9) Who do you consider your real life hero My father HA Wubben

10) What is the most awesome thing you own The DALE EARNHARDT SR bike

11) What is the question you are most often asked (and what is the answer you give) The question is Where do you get the ideas to build so many different style bikes My answer is I grew up in the 60rsquos

12) If you could choose any other occupation what would that be Irsquove been working on bikes and cars for over 40 years and never wanted to do anything else

13) What would you do if you were able to retire I would ride the four corners of the US and stop by all the

places I have ever been invited and stay as long as needed I would then continue my course overseas to my foreign friends

PB Chopps amp Rods (Home of PB Choppers) is located at 22840 Hwy J18 Moravia IA 52571 For more information visit PB Choppers at wwwpbchopperscom

ROLLING WITHTHE BIG DOGS

Is it just me or does it seem to you like this winter is flying by Thank goodness Someone once said ldquoNobody hates winter like a biker doesrdquo I find that saying to be very true

This month Irsquod like to share one of BIG DOGrsquos all-time favorite roads to moto-tour It is not local but it offers one of the 8 Wonders of the World and therefore it should be on your bucket list Last year we offered and toured this world-famous 31 mile section of road that runs parallel to the US 101 and boasts some of the most awe-inspiring views and roads yoursquoll ever experience as a rider - the Avenue of the Giants located north of San Francisco along the Pacific Coast Highway and US 101

The Avenue of the Giants is surrounded by almost 52000 acres of Redwood groves known as Humboldt Redwoods State Park It hosts the largest stand of virgin Redwoods in the world Along this section of road you will view the most outstanding display of these world record giant trees The Redwoods belt actually extends over 1250 miles from San Francisco to Seattle and points north

Californiarsquos Coastal Redwoods are the worldrsquos tallest and oldest known trees The average mature tree can be several hundred years old stand 200 to 240 feet tall and diameters of 10 to 15 feet Some have measured more than 360 feet The tallest tree in the world The Strato-sphere Giant which is located in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park is just over 370 feet tall Imagine how deep the roots must go

Herersquos a mental image You could not lay one of these trees down on its side inside of a professional football stadium without parts of the roots and branches extending into the end zone seating areas

In the most favorable parts of their range Coastal Redwoods can live more than two thousand years One of the first protected areas in the park known as Rockefeller Grove is where 10000 acres of this inde-scribable beauty will awe any visitor Along the many roads and trails in this forest you will find the 4th 6th and 8th tallest trees in the world You will also find the 2nd tallest tree the Champion Coast Redwood as well as the 1 tallest tree the Stratosphere Giant with a height of 370 feet and a base circumference of over 53 feet

The ground below is also covered with its own giants including ferns reaching 10-12 feet in diameter banana slugs of varying colors with some over 12 inches in length and lucky shamrocks with leaves 4-5 inches across Imagine how small yoursquoll feel riding next to these trees and their underbrush If you saw Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back this is where the Ewok Village shoots took place

ROLLING WITHTHE BIG DOGS

The Avenue of the Giants

As for the roads you can find a delightful mix of long sweeping turns that follow the Eel Riverrsquos edge as well as tight twisty switchbacks that climb into the peaks of the coastal mountain ranges and drop down along the coast

This area is a temperate zone with moderate temps of 45-70 degrees year round It can be slightly cooler in the upper elevations and along the coast One minute finds you riding through thick Tule fog and the next basking in the bright warm California sun under Azure Blue skies

So right about now yoursquore thinking to yourself ldquoThatrsquos all fine won-derful and dandy but how can I experience this for myselfrdquo Funny you should ask BIG DOGs Moto Tours Inc is currently accepting deposits to ride not only this particular section of road but approximately 2500 miles of similar roads and terrain We will meet our guests in San Fran-cisco on the evening of June 28th and depart for central Oregon early on the 29th Not only does this tour run through the Avenue of the Giants but it will run up and around Crater Lake located in the south western corner of Oregon State

Itrsquos plenty cold outside and hopefully you are working on your bikes prepping for the upcom-ing season I personally have been busy doing a variety of home improvement projects at the castle but I plan on at least waxing the old girl Sadly I didnrsquot ride this month but I did take a break from hardwood flooring and painting to go pound a few beers at a place called C P Goodwins in Wilmington DE

C P Goodwins is a nice little hole-in-the-wall bar hidden in back of a shopping center I walked in after a hard day of ldquoimprovingrdquo and found a great Sunday special - any burger from the menu a side of fries and five Miller Lite bottles for $15 Now before you get all skeptical the burger is a real burger as in regular size Not one of these half-sized burgers made special for the deal

For my first visit I decided to try the Philly burger This is a frac12 pound medium rare burg-er topped with onions peppers mushrooms and cheddar cheese It came with a handful of hand-cut fries I have to admit the entire meal was just great In fact it was SO great I went back the following week to have the Red Foxx - a 12 pound burger topped with mac and cheese and drenched in wing sauce Both burgers were damn good and the only thing better than this deal would be if it came with some Crown but hey Irsquoll take what I can get

There are a few more options for the deal so I might have to stop in and try them I mean where else can you grab a homemade burger

C P GOODWINS bull WILMINGTON DEBy Jay Kuch Mystery Food Critique

hand-cut fries and 5 beers for $15 If you know of such a place email me With all the home improvements Irsquove been doing the wallet is getting light If can get a good meal and a few beers for $20 with tip Irsquom a happy camper

If yoursquore looking for a very reasonable deal on some good eats and brews swing by C P Goodwins at 105 Kirkwood Square Wilming-ton DE and enjoy yourself

Until then remember itrsquos just another day in paradise

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

ROLLING WITHTHE BIG DOGS

Is it just me or does it seem to you like this winter is flying by Thank goodness Someone once said ldquoNobody hates winter like a biker doesrdquo I find that saying to be very true

This month Irsquod like to share one of BIG DOGrsquos all-time favorite roads to moto-tour It is not local but it offers one of the 8 Wonders of the World and therefore it should be on your bucket list Last year we offered and toured this world-famous 31 mile section of road that runs parallel to the US 101 and boasts some of the most awe-inspiring views and roads yoursquoll ever experience as a rider - the Avenue of the Giants located north of San Francisco along the Pacific Coast Highway and US 101

The Avenue of the Giants is surrounded by almost 52000 acres of Redwood groves known as Humboldt Redwoods State Park It hosts the largest stand of virgin Redwoods in the world Along this section of road you will view the most outstanding display of these world record giant trees The Redwoods belt actually extends over 1250 miles from San Francisco to Seattle and points north

Californiarsquos Coastal Redwoods are the worldrsquos tallest and oldest known trees The average mature tree can be several hundred years old stand 200 to 240 feet tall and diameters of 10 to 15 feet Some have measured more than 360 feet The tallest tree in the world The Strato-sphere Giant which is located in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park is just over 370 feet tall Imagine how deep the roots must go

Herersquos a mental image You could not lay one of these trees down on its side inside of a professional football stadium without parts of the roots and branches extending into the end zone seating areas

In the most favorable parts of their range Coastal Redwoods can live more than two thousand years One of the first protected areas in the park known as Rockefeller Grove is where 10000 acres of this inde-scribable beauty will awe any visitor Along the many roads and trails in this forest you will find the 4th 6th and 8th tallest trees in the world You will also find the 2nd tallest tree the Champion Coast Redwood as well as the 1 tallest tree the Stratosphere Giant with a height of 370 feet and a base circumference of over 53 feet

The ground below is also covered with its own giants including ferns reaching 10-12 feet in diameter banana slugs of varying colors with some over 12 inches in length and lucky shamrocks with leaves 4-5 inches across Imagine how small yoursquoll feel riding next to these trees and their underbrush If you saw Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back this is where the Ewok Village shoots took place

The Avenue of the Giants

As for the roads you can find a delightful mix of long sweeping turns that follow the Eel Riverrsquos edge as well as tight twisty switchbacks that climb into the peaks of the coastal mountain ranges and drop down along the coast

This area is a temperate zone with moderate temps of 45-70 degrees year round It can be slightly cooler in the upper elevations and along the coast One minute finds you riding through thick Tule fog and the next basking in the bright warm California sun under Azure Blue skies

So right about now yoursquore thinking to yourself ldquoThatrsquos all fine won-derful and dandy but how can I experience this for myselfrdquo Funny you should ask BIG DOGs Moto Tours Inc is currently accepting deposits to ride not only this particular section of road but approximately 2500 miles of similar roads and terrain We will meet our guests in San Fran-cisco on the evening of June 28th and depart for central Oregon early on the 29th Not only does this tour run through the Avenue of the Giants but it will run up and around Crater Lake located in the south western corner of Oregon State

Itrsquos plenty cold outside and hopefully you are working on your bikes prepping for the upcom-ing season I personally have been busy doing a variety of home improvement projects at the castle but I plan on at least waxing the old girl Sadly I didnrsquot ride this month but I did take a break from hardwood flooring and painting to go pound a few beers at a place called C P Goodwins in Wilmington DE

C P Goodwins is a nice little hole-in-the-wall bar hidden in back of a shopping center I walked in after a hard day of ldquoimprovingrdquo and found a great Sunday special - any burger from the menu a side of fries and five Miller Lite bottles for $15 Now before you get all skeptical the burger is a real burger as in regular size Not one of these half-sized burgers made special for the deal

For my first visit I decided to try the Philly burger This is a frac12 pound medium rare burg-er topped with onions peppers mushrooms and cheddar cheese It came with a handful of hand-cut fries I have to admit the entire meal was just great In fact it was SO great I went back the following week to have the Red Foxx - a 12 pound burger topped with mac and cheese and drenched in wing sauce Both burgers were damn good and the only thing better than this deal would be if it came with some Crown but hey Irsquoll take what I can get

There are a few more options for the deal so I might have to stop in and try them I mean where else can you grab a homemade burger

C P GOODWINS bull WILMINGTON DEBy Jay Kuch Mystery Food Critique

hand-cut fries and 5 beers for $15 If you know of such a place email me With all the home improvements Irsquove been doing the wallet is getting light If can get a good meal and a few beers for $20 with tip Irsquom a happy camper

If yoursquore looking for a very reasonable deal on some good eats and brews swing by C P Goodwins at 105 Kirkwood Square Wilming-ton DE and enjoy yourself

Until then remember itrsquos just another day in paradise

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

ROLLING WITHTHE BIG DOGS

Is it just me or does it seem to you like this winter is flying by Thank goodness Someone once said ldquoNobody hates winter like a biker doesrdquo I find that saying to be very true

This month Irsquod like to share one of BIG DOGrsquos all-time favorite roads to moto-tour It is not local but it offers one of the 8 Wonders of the World and therefore it should be on your bucket list Last year we offered and toured this world-famous 31 mile section of road that runs parallel to the US 101 and boasts some of the most awe-inspiring views and roads yoursquoll ever experience as a rider - the Avenue of the Giants located north of San Francisco along the Pacific Coast Highway and US 101

The Avenue of the Giants is surrounded by almost 52000 acres of Redwood groves known as Humboldt Redwoods State Park It hosts the largest stand of virgin Redwoods in the world Along this section of road you will view the most outstanding display of these world record giant trees The Redwoods belt actually extends over 1250 miles from San Francisco to Seattle and points north

Californiarsquos Coastal Redwoods are the worldrsquos tallest and oldest known trees The average mature tree can be several hundred years old stand 200 to 240 feet tall and diameters of 10 to 15 feet Some have measured more than 360 feet The tallest tree in the world The Strato-sphere Giant which is located in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park is just over 370 feet tall Imagine how deep the roots must go

Herersquos a mental image You could not lay one of these trees down on its side inside of a professional football stadium without parts of the roots and branches extending into the end zone seating areas

In the most favorable parts of their range Coastal Redwoods can live more than two thousand years One of the first protected areas in the park known as Rockefeller Grove is where 10000 acres of this inde-scribable beauty will awe any visitor Along the many roads and trails in this forest you will find the 4th 6th and 8th tallest trees in the world You will also find the 2nd tallest tree the Champion Coast Redwood as well as the 1 tallest tree the Stratosphere Giant with a height of 370 feet and a base circumference of over 53 feet

The ground below is also covered with its own giants including ferns reaching 10-12 feet in diameter banana slugs of varying colors with some over 12 inches in length and lucky shamrocks with leaves 4-5 inches across Imagine how small yoursquoll feel riding next to these trees and their underbrush If you saw Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back this is where the Ewok Village shoots took place

ROLLING WITHTHE BIG DOGS

The Avenue of the Giants

As for the roads you can find a delightful mix of long sweeping turns that follow the Eel Riverrsquos edge as well as tight twisty switchbacks that climb into the peaks of the coastal mountain ranges and drop down along the coast

This area is a temperate zone with moderate temps of 45-70 degrees year round It can be slightly cooler in the upper elevations and along the coast One minute finds you riding through thick Tule fog and the next basking in the bright warm California sun under Azure Blue skies

So right about now yoursquore thinking to yourself ldquoThatrsquos all fine won-derful and dandy but how can I experience this for myselfrdquo Funny you should ask BIG DOGs Moto Tours Inc is currently accepting deposits to ride not only this particular section of road but approximately 2500 miles of similar roads and terrain We will meet our guests in San Fran-cisco on the evening of June 28th and depart for central Oregon early on the 29th Not only does this tour run through the Avenue of the Giants but it will run up and around Crater Lake located in the south western corner of Oregon State

Itrsquos plenty cold outside and hopefully you are working on your bikes prepping for the upcom-ing season I personally have been busy doing a variety of home improvement projects at the castle but I plan on at least waxing the old girl Sadly I didnrsquot ride this month but I did take a break from hardwood flooring and painting to go pound a few beers at a place called C P Goodwins in Wilmington DE

C P Goodwins is a nice little hole-in-the-wall bar hidden in back of a shopping center I walked in after a hard day of ldquoimprovingrdquo and found a great Sunday special - any burger from the menu a side of fries and five Miller Lite bottles for $15 Now before you get all skeptical the burger is a real burger as in regular size Not one of these half-sized burgers made special for the deal

For my first visit I decided to try the Philly burger This is a frac12 pound medium rare burg-er topped with onions peppers mushrooms and cheddar cheese It came with a handful of hand-cut fries I have to admit the entire meal was just great In fact it was SO great I went back the following week to have the Red Foxx - a 12 pound burger topped with mac and cheese and drenched in wing sauce Both burgers were damn good and the only thing better than this deal would be if it came with some Crown but hey Irsquoll take what I can get

There are a few more options for the deal so I might have to stop in and try them I mean where else can you grab a homemade burger

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

For more than 40 years Jim Wubben has crafted unique bikes that meet the highest industry standards and quality and are made with USA materials PB Choppers are designed to ldquofitrdquo the rider and fulfill the vision he or she has of themselves riding off into the sunset Get a closer look at Jimrsquos creations at the Timonium Motorcycle Show February 8th thru 10th

1) How long have you been involved with your businessoccupation PB CHOPPS AND RODSPB CHOPPERS has been building and restoring bikes car and trucks since 1987

2) What exactly do you do in that capacity Design fabricate and finish everything that enters my shop Irsquom not one of those ldquosit in the officerdquo bosses who is never seen working on a project I am definitely a hands-on guy

3) What can you tell us about your first design My first project involved a case of beer a torch and stick welder along with a garage full of friends When the sun came up that next morning I had crafted my first custom ride

4) Where were you born Forest City Iowa - home of Winnebago Motor Homes and me

5) Where do you currently reside and for how long I have lived in Moravia Iowa since 1976 (population 600 and home of PB Choppers)

6) What is the one thing you would change about yourself I would have taken advantage of more opportunities I have had over the years

7) What would you consider your greatest industry accomplishments Winning the biker build off in 2005 against two other builders with over

14000 votes for ldquoANGEL EYESrdquo

8) Where would you most like to reside if you could Anywhere you can ride all year round

9) Who do you consider your real life hero My father HA Wubben

10) What is the most awesome thing you own The DALE EARNHARDT SR bike

11) What is the question you are most often asked (and what is the answer you give) The question is Where do you get the ideas to build so many different style bikes My answer is I grew up in the 60rsquos

12) If you could choose any other occupation what would that be Irsquove been working on bikes and cars for over 40 years and never wanted to do anything else

13) What would you do if you were able to retire I would ride the four corners of the US and stop by all the

places I have ever been invited and stay as long as needed I would then continue my course overseas to my foreign friends

ROLLING WITHTHE BIG DOGS

Is it just me or does it seem to you like this winter is flying by Thank goodness Someone once said ldquoNobody hates winter like a biker doesrdquo I find that saying to be very true

This month Irsquod like to share one of BIG DOGrsquos all-time favorite roads to moto-tour It is not local but it offers one of the 8 Wonders of the World and therefore it should be on your bucket list Last year we offered and toured this world-famous 31 mile section of road that runs parallel to the US 101 and boasts some of the most awe-inspiring views and roads yoursquoll ever experience as a rider - the Avenue of the Giants located north of San Francisco along the Pacific Coast Highway and US 101

The Avenue of the Giants is surrounded by almost 52000 acres of Redwood groves known as Humboldt Redwoods State Park It hosts the largest stand of virgin Redwoods in the world Along this section of road you will view the most outstanding display of these world record giant trees The Redwoods belt actually extends over 1250 miles from San Francisco to Seattle and points north

Californiarsquos Coastal Redwoods are the worldrsquos tallest and oldest known trees The average mature tree can be several hundred years old stand 200 to 240 feet tall and diameters of 10 to 15 feet Some have measured more than 360 feet The tallest tree in the world The Strato-sphere Giant which is located in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park is just over 370 feet tall Imagine how deep the roots must go

Herersquos a mental image You could not lay one of these trees down on its side inside of a professional football stadium without parts of the roots and branches extending into the end zone seating areas

In the most favorable parts of their range Coastal Redwoods can live more than two thousand years One of the first protected areas in the park known as Rockefeller Grove is where 10000 acres of this inde-scribable beauty will awe any visitor Along the many roads and trails in this forest you will find the 4th 6th and 8th tallest trees in the world You will also find the 2nd tallest tree the Champion Coast Redwood as well as the 1 tallest tree the Stratosphere Giant with a height of 370 feet and a base circumference of over 53 feet

The ground below is also covered with its own giants including ferns reaching 10-12 feet in diameter banana slugs of varying colors with some over 12 inches in length and lucky shamrocks with leaves 4-5 inches across Imagine how small yoursquoll feel riding next to these trees and their underbrush If you saw Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back this is where the Ewok Village shoots took place

ROLLING WITHTHE BIG DOGS

The Avenue of the Giants

As for the roads you can find a delightful mix of long sweeping turns that follow the Eel Riverrsquos edge as well as tight twisty switchbacks that climb into the peaks of the coastal mountain ranges and drop down along the coast

This area is a temperate zone with moderate temps of 45-70 degrees year round It can be slightly cooler in the upper elevations and along the coast One minute finds you riding through thick Tule fog and the next basking in the bright warm California sun under Azure Blue skies

So right about now yoursquore thinking to yourself ldquoThatrsquos all fine won-derful and dandy but how can I experience this for myselfrdquo Funny you should ask BIG DOGs Moto Tours Inc is currently accepting deposits to ride not only this particular section of road but approximately 2500 miles of similar roads and terrain We will meet our guests in San Fran-cisco on the evening of June 28th and depart for central Oregon early on the 29th Not only does this tour run through the Avenue of the Giants but it will run up and around Crater Lake located in the south western corner of Oregon State

Itrsquos plenty cold outside and hopefully you are working on your bikes prepping for the upcom-ing season I personally have been busy doing a variety of home improvement projects at the castle but I plan on at least waxing the old girl Sadly I didnrsquot ride this month but I did take a break from hardwood flooring and painting to go pound a few beers at a place called C P Goodwins in Wilmington DE

C P Goodwins is a nice little hole-in-the-wall bar hidden in back of a shopping center I walked in after a hard day of ldquoimprovingrdquo and found a great Sunday special - any burger from the menu a side of fries and five Miller Lite bottles for $15 Now before you get all skeptical the burger is a real burger as in regular size Not one of these half-sized burgers made special for the deal

For my first visit I decided to try the Philly burger This is a frac12 pound medium rare burg-er topped with onions peppers mushrooms and cheddar cheese It came with a handful of hand-cut fries I have to admit the entire meal was just great In fact it was SO great I went back the following week to have the Red Foxx - a 12 pound burger topped with mac and cheese and drenched in wing sauce Both burgers were damn good and the only thing better than this deal would be if it came with some Crown but hey Irsquoll take what I can get

There are a few more options for the deal so I might have to stop in and try them I mean where else can you grab a homemade burger

C P GOODWINS bull WILMINGTON DEBy Jay Kuch Mystery Food Critique

hand-cut fries and 5 beers for $15 If you know of such a place email me With all the home improvements Irsquove been doing the wallet is getting light If can get a good meal and a few beers for $20 with tip Irsquom a happy camper

If yoursquore looking for a very reasonable deal on some good eats and brews swing by C P Goodwins at 105 Kirkwood Square Wilming-ton DE and enjoy yourself

Until then remember itrsquos just another day in paradise

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

Is it just me or does it seem to you like this winter is flying by Thank goodness Someone once said ldquoNobody hates winter like a biker doesrdquo I find that saying to be very true

This month Irsquod like to share one of BIG DOGrsquos all-time favorite roads to moto-tour It is not local but it offers one of the 8 Wonders of the World and therefore it should be on your bucket list Last year we offered and toured this world-famous 31 mile section of road that runs parallel to the US 101 and boasts some of the most awe-inspiring views and roads yoursquoll ever experience as a rider - the Avenue of the Giants located north of San Francisco along the Pacific Coast Highway and US 101

The Avenue of the Giants is surrounded by almost 52000 acres of Redwood groves known as Humboldt Redwoods State Park It hosts the largest stand of virgin Redwoods in the world Along this section of road you will view the most outstanding display of these world record giant trees The Redwoods belt actually extends over 1250 miles from San Francisco to Seattle and points north

Californiarsquos Coastal Redwoods are the worldrsquos tallest and oldest known trees The average mature tree can be several hundred years old stand 200 to 240 feet tall and diameters of 10 to 15 feet Some have measured more than 360 feet The tallest tree in the world The Strato-sphere Giant which is located in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park is just over 370 feet tall Imagine how deep the roots must go

Herersquos a mental image You could not lay one of these trees down on its side inside of a professional football stadium without parts of the roots and branches extending into the end zone seating areas

In the most favorable parts of their range Coastal Redwoods can live more than two thousand years One of the first protected areas in the park known as Rockefeller Grove is where 10000 acres of this inde-scribable beauty will awe any visitor Along the many roads and trails in this forest you will find the 4th 6th and 8th tallest trees in the world You will also find the 2nd tallest tree the Champion Coast Redwood as well as the 1 tallest tree the Stratosphere Giant with a height of 370 feet and a base circumference of over 53 feet

The ground below is also covered with its own giants including ferns reaching 10-12 feet in diameter banana slugs of varying colors with some over 12 inches in length and lucky shamrocks with leaves 4-5 inches across Imagine how small yoursquoll feel riding next to these trees and their underbrush If you saw Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back this is where the Ewok Village shoots took place

The Avenue of the Giants

As for the roads you can find a delightful mix of long sweeping turns that follow the Eel Riverrsquos edge as well as tight twisty switchbacks that climb into the peaks of the coastal mountain ranges and drop down along the coast

This area is a temperate zone with moderate temps of 45-70 degrees year round It can be slightly cooler in the upper elevations and along the coast One minute finds you riding through thick Tule fog and the next basking in the bright warm California sun under Azure Blue skies

So right about now yoursquore thinking to yourself ldquoThatrsquos all fine won-derful and dandy but how can I experience this for myselfrdquo Funny you should ask BIG DOGs Moto Tours Inc is currently accepting deposits to ride not only this particular section of road but approximately 2500 miles of similar roads and terrain We will meet our guests in San Fran-cisco on the evening of June 28th and depart for central Oregon early on the 29th Not only does this tour run through the Avenue of the Giants but it will run up and around Crater Lake located in the south western corner of Oregon State

Itrsquos plenty cold outside and hopefully you are working on your bikes prepping for the upcom-ing season I personally have been busy doing a variety of home improvement projects at the castle but I plan on at least waxing the old girl Sadly I didnrsquot ride this month but I did take a break from hardwood flooring and painting to go pound a few beers at a place called C P Goodwins in Wilmington DE

C P Goodwins is a nice little hole-in-the-wall bar hidden in back of a shopping center I walked in after a hard day of ldquoimprovingrdquo and found a great Sunday special - any burger from the menu a side of fries and five Miller Lite bottles for $15 Now before you get all skeptical the burger is a real burger as in regular size Not one of these half-sized burgers made special for the deal

For my first visit I decided to try the Philly burger This is a frac12 pound medium rare burg-er topped with onions peppers mushrooms and cheddar cheese It came with a handful of hand-cut fries I have to admit the entire meal was just great In fact it was SO great I went back the following week to have the Red Foxx - a 12 pound burger topped with mac and cheese and drenched in wing sauce Both burgers were damn good and the only thing better than this deal would be if it came with some Crown but hey Irsquoll take what I can get

There are a few more options for the deal so I might have to stop in and try them I mean where else can you grab a homemade burger

C P GOODWINS bull WILMINGTON DEBy Jay Kuch Mystery Food Critique

hand-cut fries and 5 beers for $15 If you know of such a place email me With all the home improvements Irsquove been doing the wallet is getting light If can get a good meal and a few beers for $20 with tip Irsquom a happy camper

If yoursquore looking for a very reasonable deal on some good eats and brews swing by C P Goodwins at 105 Kirkwood Square Wilming-ton DE and enjoy yourself

Until then remember itrsquos just another day in paradise

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

ROLLING WITHTHE BIG DOGS

Is it just me or does it seem to you like this winter is flying by Thank goodness Someone once said ldquoNobody hates winter like a biker doesrdquo I find that saying to be very true

This month Irsquod like to share one of BIG DOGrsquos all-time favorite roads to moto-tour It is not local but it offers one of the 8 Wonders of the World and therefore it should be on your bucket list Last year we offered and toured this world-famous 31 mile section of road that runs parallel to the US 101 and boasts some of the most awe-inspiring views and roads yoursquoll ever experience as a rider - the Avenue of the Giants located north of San Francisco along the Pacific Coast Highway and US 101

The Avenue of the Giants is surrounded by almost 52000 acres of Redwood groves known as Humboldt Redwoods State Park It hosts the largest stand of virgin Redwoods in the world Along this section of road you will view the most outstanding display of these world record giant trees The Redwoods belt actually extends over 1250 miles from San Francisco to Seattle and points north

Californiarsquos Coastal Redwoods are the worldrsquos tallest and oldest known trees The average mature tree can be several hundred years old stand 200 to 240 feet tall and diameters of 10 to 15 feet Some have measured more than 360 feet The tallest tree in the world The Strato-sphere Giant which is located in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park is just over 370 feet tall Imagine how deep the roots must go

Herersquos a mental image You could not lay one of these trees down on its side inside of a professional football stadium without parts of the roots and branches extending into the end zone seating areas

In the most favorable parts of their range Coastal Redwoods can live more than two thousand years One of the first protected areas in the park known as Rockefeller Grove is where 10000 acres of this inde-scribable beauty will awe any visitor Along the many roads and trails in this forest you will find the 4th 6th and 8th tallest trees in the world You will also find the 2nd tallest tree the Champion Coast Redwood as well as the 1 tallest tree the Stratosphere Giant with a height of 370 feet and a base circumference of over 53 feet

The ground below is also covered with its own giants including ferns reaching 10-12 feet in diameter banana slugs of varying colors with some over 12 inches in length and lucky shamrocks with leaves 4-5 inches across Imagine how small yoursquoll feel riding next to these trees and their underbrush If you saw Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back this is where the Ewok Village shoots took place

The Avenue of the Giants

As for the roads you can find a delightful mix of long sweeping turns that follow the Eel Riverrsquos edge as well as tight twisty switchbacks that climb into the peaks of the coastal mountain ranges and drop down along the coast

This area is a temperate zone with moderate temps of 45-70 degrees year round It can be slightly cooler in the upper elevations and along the coast One minute finds you riding through thick Tule fog and the next basking in the bright warm California sun under Azure Blue skies

So right about now yoursquore thinking to yourself ldquoThatrsquos all fine won-derful and dandy but how can I experience this for myselfrdquo Funny you should ask BIG DOGs Moto Tours Inc is currently accepting deposits to ride not only this particular section of road but approximately 2500 miles of similar roads and terrain We will meet our guests in San Fran-cisco on the evening of June 28th and depart for central Oregon early on the 29th Not only does this tour run through the Avenue of the Giants but it will run up and around Crater Lake located in the south western corner of Oregon State

Itrsquos plenty cold outside and hopefully you are working on your bikes prepping for the upcom-ing season I personally have been busy doing a variety of home improvement projects at the castle but I plan on at least waxing the old girl Sadly I didnrsquot ride this month but I did take a break from hardwood flooring and painting to go pound a few beers at a place called C P Goodwins in Wilmington DE

C P Goodwins is a nice little hole-in-the-wall bar hidden in back of a shopping center I walked in after a hard day of ldquoimprovingrdquo and found a great Sunday special - any burger from the menu a side of fries and five Miller Lite bottles for $15 Now before you get all skeptical the burger is a real burger as in regular size Not one of these half-sized burgers made special for the deal

For my first visit I decided to try the Philly burger This is a frac12 pound medium rare burg-er topped with onions peppers mushrooms and cheddar cheese It came with a handful of hand-cut fries I have to admit the entire meal was just great In fact it was SO great I went back the following week to have the Red Foxx - a 12 pound burger topped with mac and cheese and drenched in wing sauce Both burgers were damn good and the only thing better than this deal would be if it came with some Crown but hey Irsquoll take what I can get

There are a few more options for the deal so I might have to stop in and try them I mean where else can you grab a homemade burger

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

For more than 40 years Jim Wubben has crafted unique bikes that meet the highest industry standards and quality and are made with USA materials PB Choppers are designed to ldquofitrdquo the rider and fulfill the vision he or she has of themselves riding off into the sunset Get a closer look at Jimrsquos creations at the Timonium Motorcycle Show February 8th thru 10th

1) How long have you been involved with your businessoccupation PB CHOPPS AND RODSPB CHOPPERS has been building and restoring bikes car and trucks since 1987

2) What exactly do you do in that capacity Design fabricate and finish everything that enters my shop Irsquom not one of those ldquosit in the officerdquo bosses who is never seen working on a project I am definitely a hands-on guy

3) What can you tell us about your first design My first project involved a case of beer a torch and stick welder along with a garage full of friends When the sun came up that next morning I had crafted my first custom ride

4) Where were you born Forest City Iowa - home of Winnebago Motor Homes and me

5) Where do you currently reside and for how long I have lived in Moravia Iowa since 1976 (population 600 and home of PB Choppers)

6) What is the one thing you would change about yourself I would have taken advantage of more opportunities I have had over the years

7) What would you consider your greatest industry accomplishments Winning the biker build off in 2005 against two other builders with over

14000 votes for ldquoANGEL EYESrdquo

8) Where would you most like to reside if you could Anywhere you can ride all year round

9) Who do you consider your real life hero My father HA Wubben

10) What is the most awesome thing you own The DALE EARNHARDT SR bike

11) What is the question you are most often asked (and what is the answer you give) The question is Where do you get the ideas to build so many different style bikes My answer is I grew up in the 60rsquos

12) If you could choose any other occupation what would that be Irsquove been working on bikes and cars for over 40 years and never wanted to do anything else

13) What would you do if you were able to retire I would ride the four corners of the US and stop by all the

places I have ever been invited and stay as long as needed I would then continue my course overseas to my foreign friends

PB Chopps amp Rods (Home of PB Choppers) is located at 22840 Hwy J18 Moravia IA 52571 For more information visit PB Choppers at wwwpbchopperscom

ROLLING WITHTHE BIG DOGS

Is it just me or does it seem to you like this winter is flying by Thank goodness Someone once said ldquoNobody hates winter like a biker doesrdquo I find that saying to be very true

This month Irsquod like to share one of BIG DOGrsquos all-time favorite roads to moto-tour It is not local but it offers one of the 8 Wonders of the World and therefore it should be on your bucket list Last year we offered and toured this world-famous 31 mile section of road that runs parallel to the US 101 and boasts some of the most awe-inspiring views and roads yoursquoll ever experience as a rider - the Avenue of the Giants located north of San Francisco along the Pacific Coast Highway and US 101

The Avenue of the Giants is surrounded by almost 52000 acres of Redwood groves known as Humboldt Redwoods State Park It hosts the largest stand of virgin Redwoods in the world Along this section of road you will view the most outstanding display of these world record giant trees The Redwoods belt actually extends over 1250 miles from San Francisco to Seattle and points north

Californiarsquos Coastal Redwoods are the worldrsquos tallest and oldest known trees The average mature tree can be several hundred years old stand 200 to 240 feet tall and diameters of 10 to 15 feet Some have measured more than 360 feet The tallest tree in the world The Strato-sphere Giant which is located in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park is just over 370 feet tall Imagine how deep the roots must go

Herersquos a mental image You could not lay one of these trees down on its side inside of a professional football stadium without parts of the roots and branches extending into the end zone seating areas

In the most favorable parts of their range Coastal Redwoods can live more than two thousand years One of the first protected areas in the park known as Rockefeller Grove is where 10000 acres of this inde-scribable beauty will awe any visitor Along the many roads and trails in this forest you will find the 4th 6th and 8th tallest trees in the world You will also find the 2nd tallest tree the Champion Coast Redwood as well as the 1 tallest tree the Stratosphere Giant with a height of 370 feet and a base circumference of over 53 feet

The ground below is also covered with its own giants including ferns reaching 10-12 feet in diameter banana slugs of varying colors with some over 12 inches in length and lucky shamrocks with leaves 4-5 inches across Imagine how small yoursquoll feel riding next to these trees and their underbrush If you saw Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back this is where the Ewok Village shoots took place

The Avenue of the Giants

As for the roads you can find a delightful mix of long sweeping turns that follow the Eel Riverrsquos edge as well as tight twisty switchbacks that climb into the peaks of the coastal mountain ranges and drop down along the coast

This area is a temperate zone with moderate temps of 45-70 degrees year round It can be slightly cooler in the upper elevations and along the coast One minute finds you riding through thick Tule fog and the next basking in the bright warm California sun under Azure Blue skies

So right about now yoursquore thinking to yourself ldquoThatrsquos all fine won-derful and dandy but how can I experience this for myselfrdquo Funny you should ask BIG DOGs Moto Tours Inc is currently accepting deposits to ride not only this particular section of road but approximately 2500 miles of similar roads and terrain We will meet our guests in San Fran-cisco on the evening of June 28th and depart for central Oregon early on the 29th Not only does this tour run through the Avenue of the Giants but it will run up and around Crater Lake located in the south western corner of Oregon State

Itrsquos plenty cold outside and hopefully you are working on your bikes prepping for the upcom-ing season I personally have been busy doing a variety of home improvement projects at the castle but I plan on at least waxing the old girl Sadly I didnrsquot ride this month but I did take a break from hardwood flooring and painting to go pound a few beers at a place called C P Goodwins in Wilmington DE

C P Goodwins is a nice little hole-in-the-wall bar hidden in back of a shopping center I walked in after a hard day of ldquoimprovingrdquo and found a great Sunday special - any burger from the menu a side of fries and five Miller Lite bottles for $15 Now before you get all skeptical the burger is a real burger as in regular size Not one of these half-sized burgers made special for the deal

For my first visit I decided to try the Philly burger This is a frac12 pound medium rare burg-er topped with onions peppers mushrooms and cheddar cheese It came with a handful of hand-cut fries I have to admit the entire meal was just great In fact it was SO great I went back the following week to have the Red Foxx - a 12 pound burger topped with mac and cheese and drenched in wing sauce Both burgers were damn good and the only thing better than this deal would be if it came with some Crown but hey Irsquoll take what I can get

There are a few more options for the deal so I might have to stop in and try them I mean where else can you grab a homemade burger

C P GOODWINS bull WILMINGTON DEBy Jay Kuch Mystery Food Critique

hand-cut fries and 5 beers for $15 If you know of such a place email me With all the home improvements Irsquove been doing the wallet is getting light If can get a good meal and a few beers for $20 with tip Irsquom a happy camper

If yoursquore looking for a very reasonable deal on some good eats and brews swing by C P Goodwins at 105 Kirkwood Square Wilming-ton DE and enjoy yourself

Until then remember itrsquos just another day in paradise

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

31 wwwfastlanebikerdelmarvacom

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

ROLLING WITHTHE BIG DOGS

Is it just me or does it seem to you like this winter is flying by Thank goodness Someone once said ldquoNobody hates winter like a biker doesrdquo I find that saying to be very true

This month Irsquod like to share one of BIG DOGrsquos all-time favorite roads to moto-tour It is not local but it offers one of the 8 Wonders of the World and therefore it should be on your bucket list Last year we offered and toured this world-famous 31 mile section of road that runs parallel to the US 101 and boasts some of the most awe-inspiring views and roads yoursquoll ever experience as a rider - the Avenue of the Giants located north of San Francisco along the Pacific Coast Highway and US 101

The Avenue of the Giants is surrounded by almost 52000 acres of Redwood groves known as Humboldt Redwoods State Park It hosts the largest stand of virgin Redwoods in the world Along this section of road you will view the most outstanding display of these world record giant trees The Redwoods belt actually extends over 1250 miles from San Francisco to Seattle and points north

Californiarsquos Coastal Redwoods are the worldrsquos tallest and oldest known trees The average mature tree can be several hundred years old stand 200 to 240 feet tall and diameters of 10 to 15 feet Some have measured more than 360 feet The tallest tree in the world The Strato-sphere Giant which is located in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park is just over 370 feet tall Imagine how deep the roots must go

Herersquos a mental image You could not lay one of these trees down on its side inside of a professional football stadium without parts of the roots and branches extending into the end zone seating areas

In the most favorable parts of their range Coastal Redwoods can live more than two thousand years One of the first protected areas in the park known as Rockefeller Grove is where 10000 acres of this inde-scribable beauty will awe any visitor Along the many roads and trails in this forest you will find the 4th 6th and 8th tallest trees in the world You will also find the 2nd tallest tree the Champion Coast Redwood as well as the 1 tallest tree the Stratosphere Giant with a height of 370 feet and a base circumference of over 53 feet

The ground below is also covered with its own giants including ferns reaching 10-12 feet in diameter banana slugs of varying colors with some over 12 inches in length and lucky shamrocks with leaves 4-5 inches across Imagine how small yoursquoll feel riding next to these trees and their underbrush If you saw Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back this is where the Ewok Village shoots took place

The Avenue of the Giants

As for the roads you can find a delightful mix of long sweeping turns that follow the Eel Riverrsquos edge as well as tight twisty switchbacks that climb into the peaks of the coastal mountain ranges and drop down along the coast

This area is a temperate zone with moderate temps of 45-70 degrees year round It can be slightly cooler in the upper elevations and along the coast One minute finds you riding through thick Tule fog and the next basking in the bright warm California sun under Azure Blue skies

So right about now yoursquore thinking to yourself ldquoThatrsquos all fine won-derful and dandy but how can I experience this for myselfrdquo Funny you should ask BIG DOGs Moto Tours Inc is currently accepting deposits to ride not only this particular section of road but approximately 2500 miles of similar roads and terrain We will meet our guests in San Fran-cisco on the evening of June 28th and depart for central Oregon early on the 29th Not only does this tour run through the Avenue of the Giants but it will run up and around Crater Lake located in the south western corner of Oregon State

Itrsquos plenty cold outside and hopefully you are working on your bikes prepping for the upcom-ing season I personally have been busy doing a variety of home improvement projects at the castle but I plan on at least waxing the old girl Sadly I didnrsquot ride this month but I did take a break from hardwood flooring and painting to go pound a few beers at a place called C P Goodwins in Wilmington DE

C P Goodwins is a nice little hole-in-the-wall bar hidden in back of a shopping center I walked in after a hard day of ldquoimprovingrdquo and found a great Sunday special - any burger from the menu a side of fries and five Miller Lite bottles for $15 Now before you get all skeptical the burger is a real burger as in regular size Not one of these half-sized burgers made special for the deal

For my first visit I decided to try the Philly burger This is a frac12 pound medium rare burg-er topped with onions peppers mushrooms and cheddar cheese It came with a handful of hand-cut fries I have to admit the entire meal was just great In fact it was SO great I went back the following week to have the Red Foxx - a 12 pound burger topped with mac and cheese and drenched in wing sauce Both burgers were damn good and the only thing better than this deal would be if it came with some Crown but hey Irsquoll take what I can get

There are a few more options for the deal so I might have to stop in and try them I mean where else can you grab a homemade burger

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

ROLLING WITHTHE BIG DOGS

Is it just me or does it seem to you like this winter is flying by Thank goodness Someone once said ldquoNobody hates winter like a biker doesrdquo I find that saying to be very true

This month Irsquod like to share one of BIG DOGrsquos all-time favorite roads to moto-tour It is not local but it offers one of the 8 Wonders of the World and therefore it should be on your bucket list Last year we offered and toured this world-famous 31 mile section of road that runs parallel to the US 101 and boasts some of the most awe-inspiring views and roads yoursquoll ever experience as a rider - the Avenue of the Giants located north of San Francisco along the Pacific Coast Highway and US 101

The Avenue of the Giants is surrounded by almost 52000 acres of Redwood groves known as Humboldt Redwoods State Park It hosts the largest stand of virgin Redwoods in the world Along this section of road you will view the most outstanding display of these world record giant trees The Redwoods belt actually extends over 1250 miles from San Francisco to Seattle and points north

Californiarsquos Coastal Redwoods are the worldrsquos tallest and oldest known trees The average mature tree can be several hundred years old stand 200 to 240 feet tall and diameters of 10 to 15 feet Some have measured more than 360 feet The tallest tree in the world The Strato-sphere Giant which is located in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park is just over 370 feet tall Imagine how deep the roots must go

Herersquos a mental image You could not lay one of these trees down on its side inside of a professional football stadium without parts of the roots and branches extending into the end zone seating areas

In the most favorable parts of their range Coastal Redwoods can live more than two thousand years One of the first protected areas in the park known as Rockefeller Grove is where 10000 acres of this inde-scribable beauty will awe any visitor Along the many roads and trails in this forest you will find the 4th 6th and 8th tallest trees in the world You will also find the 2nd tallest tree the Champion Coast Redwood as well as the 1 tallest tree the Stratosphere Giant with a height of 370 feet and a base circumference of over 53 feet

The ground below is also covered with its own giants including ferns reaching 10-12 feet in diameter banana slugs of varying colors with some over 12 inches in length and lucky shamrocks with leaves 4-5 inches across Imagine how small yoursquoll feel riding next to these trees and their underbrush If you saw Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back this is where the Ewok Village shoots took place

ROLLING WITHTHE BIG DOGS

by Carlos lsquoBig Dogrsquo Campos

The Avenue of the Giants

As for the roads you can find a delightful mix of long sweeping turns that follow the Eel Riverrsquos edge as well as tight twisty switchbacks that climb into the peaks of the coastal mountain ranges and drop down along the coast

This area is a temperate zone with moderate temps of 45-70 degrees year round It can be slightly cooler in the upper elevations and along the coast One minute finds you riding through thick Tule fog and the next basking in the bright warm California sun under Azure Blue skies

So right about now yoursquore thinking to yourself ldquoThatrsquos all fine won-derful and dandy but how can I experience this for myselfrdquo Funny you should ask BIG DOGs Moto Tours Inc is currently accepting deposits to ride not only this particular section of road but approximately 2500 miles of similar roads and terrain We will meet our guests in San Fran-cisco on the evening of June 28th and depart for central Oregon early on the 29th Not only does this tour run through the Avenue of the Giants but it will run up and around Crater Lake located in the south western corner of Oregon State

Itrsquos plenty cold outside and hopefully you are working on your bikes prepping for the upcom-ing season I personally have been busy doing a variety of home improvement projects at the castle but I plan on at least waxing the old girl Sadly I didnrsquot ride this month but I did take a break from hardwood flooring and painting to go pound a few beers at a place called C P Goodwins in Wilmington DE

C P Goodwins is a nice little hole-in-the-wall bar hidden in back of a shopping center I walked in after a hard day of ldquoimprovingrdquo and found a great Sunday special - any burger from the menu a side of fries and five Miller Lite bottles for $15 Now before you get all skeptical the burger is a real burger as in regular size Not one of these half-sized burgers made special for the deal

For my first visit I decided to try the Philly burger This is a frac12 pound medium rare burg-er topped with onions peppers mushrooms and cheddar cheese It came with a handful of hand-cut fries I have to admit the entire meal was just great In fact it was SO great I went back the following week to have the Red Foxx - a 12 pound burger topped with mac and cheese and drenched in wing sauce Both burgers were damn good and the only thing better than this deal would be if it came with some Crown but hey Irsquoll take what I can get

There are a few more options for the deal so I might have to stop in and try them I mean where else can you grab a homemade burger

C P GOODWINS bull WILMINGTON DEBy Jay Kuch Mystery Food Critique

hand-cut fries and 5 beers for $15 If you know of such a place email me With all the home improvements Irsquove been doing the wallet is getting light If can get a good meal and a few beers for $20 with tip Irsquom a happy camper

If yoursquore looking for a very reasonable deal on some good eats and brews swing by C P Goodwins at 105 Kirkwood Square Wilming-ton DE and enjoy yourself

Until then remember itrsquos just another day in paradise

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

Itrsquos plenty cold outside and hopefully you are working on your bikes prepping for the upcom-ing season I personally have been busy doing a variety of home improvement projects at the castle but I plan on at least waxing the old girl Sadly I didnrsquot ride this month but I did take a break from hardwood flooring and painting to go pound a few beers at a place called C P Goodwins in Wilmington DE

C P Goodwins is a nice little hole-in-the-wall bar hidden in back of a shopping center I walked in after a hard day of ldquoimprovingrdquo and found a great Sunday special - any burger from the menu a side of fries and five Miller Lite bottles for $15 Now before you get all skeptical the burger is a real burger as in regular size Not one of these half-sized burgers made special for the deal

For my first visit I decided to try the Philly burger This is a frac12 pound medium rare burg-er topped with onions peppers mushrooms and cheddar cheese It came with a handful of hand-cut fries I have to admit the entire meal was just great In fact it was SO great I went back the following week to have the Red Foxx - a 12 pound burger topped with mac and cheese and drenched in wing sauce Both burgers were damn good and the only thing better than this deal would be if it came with some Crown but hey Irsquoll take what I can get

There are a few more options for the deal so I might have to stop in and try them I mean where else can you grab a homemade burger

C P GOODWINS bull WILMINGTON DEBy Jay Kuch Mystery Food Critique

hand-cut fries and 5 beers for $15 If you know of such a place email me With all the home improvements Irsquove been doing the wallet is getting light If can get a good meal and a few beers for $20 with tip Irsquom a happy camper

If yoursquore looking for a very reasonable deal on some good eats and brews swing by C P Goodwins at 105 Kirkwood Square Wilming-ton DE and enjoy yourself

Until then remember itrsquos just another day in paradise

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

Itrsquos plenty cold outside and hopefully you are working on your bikes prepping for the upcom-ing season I personally have been busy doing a variety of home improvement projects at the castle but I plan on at least waxing the old girl Sadly I didnrsquot ride this month but I did take a break from hardwood flooring and painting to go pound a few beers at a place called C P Goodwins in Wilmington DE

C P Goodwins is a nice little hole-in-the-wall bar hidden in back of a shopping center I walked in after a hard day of ldquoimprovingrdquo and found a great Sunday special - any burger from the menu a side of fries and five Miller Lite bottles for $15 Now before you get all skeptical the burger is a real burger as in regular size Not one of these half-sized burgers made special for the deal

For my first visit I decided to try the Philly burger This is a frac12 pound medium rare burg-er topped with onions peppers mushrooms and cheddar cheese It came with a handful of hand-cut fries I have to admit the entire meal was just great In fact it was SO great I went back the following week to have the Red Foxx - a 12 pound burger topped with mac and cheese and drenched in wing sauce Both burgers were damn good and the only thing better than this deal would be if it came with some Crown but hey Irsquoll take what I can get

There are a few more options for the deal so I might have to stop in and try them I mean where else can you grab a homemade burger

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

31 wwwfastlanebikerdelmarvacom

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

Itrsquos plenty cold outside and hopefully you are working on your bikes prepping for the upcom-ing season I personally have been busy doing a variety of home improvement projects at the castle but I plan on at least waxing the old girl Sadly I didnrsquot ride this month but I did take a break from hardwood flooring and painting to go pound a few beers at a place called C P Goodwins in Wilmington DE

C P Goodwins is a nice little hole-in-the-wall bar hidden in back of a shopping center I walked in after a hard day of ldquoimprovingrdquo and found a great Sunday special - any burger from the menu a side of fries and five Miller Lite bottles for $15 Now before you get all skeptical the burger is a real burger as in regular size Not one of these half-sized burgers made special for the deal

For my first visit I decided to try the Philly burger This is a frac12 pound medium rare burg-er topped with onions peppers mushrooms and cheddar cheese It came with a handful of hand-cut fries I have to admit the entire meal was just great In fact it was SO great I went back the following week to have the Red Foxx - a 12 pound burger topped with mac and cheese and drenched in wing sauce Both burgers were damn good and the only thing better than this deal would be if it came with some Crown but hey Irsquoll take what I can get

There are a few more options for the deal so I might have to stop in and try them I mean where else can you grab a homemade burger

C P GOODWINS bull WILMINGTON DEBy Jay Kuch Mystery Food Critique

hand-cut fries and 5 beers for $15 If you know of such a place email me With all the home improvements Irsquove been doing the wallet is getting light If can get a good meal and a few beers for $20 with tip Irsquom a happy camper

If yoursquore looking for a very reasonable deal on some good eats and brews swing by C P Goodwins at 105 Kirkwood Square Wilming-ton DE and enjoy yourself

Until then remember itrsquos just another day in paradise

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

31 wwwfastlanebikerdelmarvacom

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

31 wwwfastlanebikerdelmarvacom

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

31 wwwfastlanebikerdelmarvacom

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

31 wwwfastlanebikerdelmarvacom

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Capt Mango urges you to stop by and say hello whenever you see him at biker events Donrsquot forget to take advantage of the opportunity to have your photo taken with a real pirate Capt Mangorsquos motto ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A BIG CONCH

ASK THE ATTORNEYBY LEE D GABER ESQUIRE

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

1-888-CYCLE-LAW LeeGabercycleattorneycom wwwcycleattorneycom

Sincerely LEE D GABER EsquireThe one and only ldquoCycle Attorneyrdquo

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

As I head to the airport I still havenrsquot a single idea what to expect from my upcoming trip to Ethiopia Of course I knew the name of this exotic coun-try and knew where it was located but even with the help of Google I could only paint a spongy picture of what would happen to me But 10 hours after liftoff my plane landed in Addis Ababa capital of Ethiopia and home to about 35 million people

LOOP TO DEBRE LIBANOSOnce the decision to travel to Ethiopia

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

was made I was eager to locate a mo-torcycle rental shop so I could explore this fantastic country on two wheels There are very few places where you can get a bike and none were actually rental stations buy more like ldquolocal tour operatorsrdquo Fortunately with help from my friends in Addis Ababa I made arrangements to borrow an el-der KTM 640 from a guy named Car-los On my way to pick up the KTM I was fascinated by the big differences in road conditions Except for main roads only a few are paved Get-ting to Carlosrsquo house was actually a big adventure ndash all we knew were the directions sent to us by Carlos in the form of a self-made road map so we wouldnrsquot miss the turns We set off clearing our way through the city traffic of Ethiopiarsquos capital (only a few vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians) We had to pay attention to this bulk of people ndash statistically 2 people die each day in Ethiopian traffic because they just donrsquot know how to act in traffic

We picked up the bike and started on our daily loop to Depre Libanos Once outside of

Addis road conditions increased dramatically and within a few miles we travelled one of the best roads I have ever ridden on ndash well paved clean and void of pot holes It was an incredible difference to the city of Addis to see the untouched land-scape and the natural charm of the far-flung villages

Whenever we passed by the locals oodles of hands bounced up to greet us and their shiny eyes followed us until we vanished around the next corner

After a two hours ride we arrived in Debre Liba-nos Built in the 13th cen-tury this monastery once

was a powerful official in the Ethiopian Church The monas-tery itself is a well preserved building however the area around is even more beautiful with its incredible vistas and fascinating landscapes

EASTER IN LALIBELADid you know that Ethio-

pia is the year 2003 And did you also know that if it is 6 am in East Africa Time Ethiopian people will tell you itrsquos noon Itrsquos true officially this country uses a variation of the Coptic calendar and has its own way of time-set-ting So if you travel there as an uninformed tourist you might get a little confused

VIEW FROM THE ROAD Since Ethiopia covers 1104300 square kilometers of land it is very hard to get an overall impression of this country So we decided to leave the bike in Addis Ababa and fly to the North instead It was Easter

weekend so we choose Lalibela as our des-tination perhaps the most religious place in all of Ethiopia In fact most of the Ethio-pians believe that the roots of religion have to be found in their coun-try Two hours later the plane landed near Lalibela The landscape changed

from green wide land to can-yons and mountains with very little vegetation Lalibela the place so famous for its Eleven Churches was not more than a small village and definitely not made for tourists Once we arrived at our hotel which was aptly a former

monastery we packed our camera put on some good shoes and went to the goat market For Easter celebration every Ethiopian gets a goat or a sheep in order to make an Easter fry The poorer residents who canrsquot afford spending 250 to 400 Birr (about US$15-25) for a goat buy a much cheaper chicken instead We struggled through a huge mass of goats sheep donkeys and people and enjoyed being part of this gigantic spectacle Later we enjoyed a guided tour through the Eleven Churches of Lalibela Built during the 12th and 13th century by King Lali-

bela these eleven rock-hewn churches served as hiding places from the Muslims Today many go there especially at Easter

weekendThe next day we planned a hiking trip

Lalibela is located at 2500 meters sea level but this hike would bring us up to 2900 meters to another monastery On our return trip our local guide invited us for coffee at his sisterrsquos home for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony After coffee some home-made injera was served consisting of lentils boiled eggs and cup cream all arranged on a sourdough pancake with a cup of self-

made honey beer It was a memorable experience to see their house from in-side to see how basic their living is and how much they not miss all the money the luxury and the comfort we are used to

LOOP TO WENCHI CRATEROur last excursion and probably one

of the most beautiful was the ride to Wenchi Crater a big volcano crater about two hours west of Addis Ababa Ambo a

city close to Wenchi Crater is well known in Ethiopia for its natural mineral water and also as a wellness resort Since we planned to go for quite a long hike we decided to stay overnight here

The next morning we would start out early to walk around the crater and en-joy its untouched natural surroundings

The crater itself was incredibly wide and filled with crystal clear water The surrounding veg-etation was deep green The hiking paths led once around the crater and would be a perfect off-road track for motorcycles although even by foot it was exciting and challenging In one of the side valleys we passed by a number of hot springs

All in all this country offered a variety of treasures If you take away the simplicity lack of convenience comforts and poverty one can easily appreciate how rich this country is in cul-ture natural beauty and hospitalityand 13th century by King Lali-

Capt Arturo Montoya de Palma in one of his many voyages to the Florida Keys visited the island of Cayo Hueso (Key West) where he met courted and wed Moena the sister of the Calusa tribe leader The Mon-toyas returned to Palma de Mallorca later in the year Jesus Verde Montoya was born to Arturo and Moena on January 8 1678 After the early deaths of both his mother and father 16-year-old Jesus snuck aboard a merchant ship headed to England never to return to Spain

In England Jesus changed his name to Jesse Green to accommodate a more Anglo environment After years of serving on various ships he became Captain of the Inconchnido Jesse soon turned to piracy and changed the name of his ship to The Blue Pearlrdquo and adopted the pirate name of Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso

Capt Mangorsquos career as a pirate is not known for plundering pillaging or killing but rather for his infa-mous acts of debauchery womanizing and rum con-sumption During his life it is rumored he had 12 wives as well as a mistress in every port Capt Mango was hung in March 1722 on false charges of piracy

Of course this story of Capt Mango is complete fiction He was born in the mind of Jesse Green at a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2002 Jesse has been a Parrot Head for over 30 years and his tailgating at the concerts is legendary The idea of dressing like a pirate is a quick prep for partying before each concert The name Capt Mango de Cayo Hueso came from the name of Jessersquos blue and gold macaw and his favorite place on earth Capt Mango has been on TV newspapers local magazines and has even appeared on stage with Kenny Chesney He has

worked as a street performer in Key West Las Vegas Times Square Ocean City and Daytona Beach

In 2011 Capt Mango bought a custom built chop-per named The Blue Pearl The Blue Pearl was built in 2005 by Coast 2 Coast Choppers in Orland FL and features a $15000 pirate paint job This purchase opened new av-enues to promote Capt Mango

Capt Mango and The Blue Pearl were featured in Fast Lane Biker Magazine Delmarvarsquos October 2012 issue Both have appeared at many bike shows and biker func-tions over the last couple of years and a variety of Capt Man-go T-shirt designs have been well-received by the motorcycle community and additional merchandise is in the works

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth

Itrsquos amazing how in the last five years much of the communication between my firm and my motorcycle accident clients is taking place via social media and e-mail As a result every time we get a call from a potential client we tell them to strictly use their computers to communicate with us and to stay off social media sites As a motorcycle accident lawyer most of my clients suffer severe injuries and a large percentage use their computers to document and memorialize their injuries and to locate a motorcycle accident attorney or more specifically a Pennsylvania or New Jersey motorcycle attorney

We warn our clients about the dangers of social media because the law firms that are hired by the insurance companies have begun to request passwords giving them unfettered access to any social media sites you may have created

Although I have written on this subject before recently during the deposition of one of my clients the defense attorney asked my client for his Facebook information We did not provide it and I am now responding to a motion that has been filed to force my client to produce that information I know that it may be second nature to go onto Facebook and advise all of your ldquofriendsrdquo that you have been involved in a motorcycle accident however the posting of injury photos and the damage to your bike could end up being used against you

Recently the trial court in Indiana County PA after reviewing an opinion from Northumberland County PA in the case of Zimmerman vs Weiss Markets dealt with the discovery of Facebook information and opined that ldquoby virtue of the Plaintiffrsquos allegations in her complaint in the personal injury matter the Plaintiff placed her ldquophysical condition at issuerdquo Accordingly the Court held that the Defendant was entitled to conduct discovery in an effort to obtain information relevant and related to the cause of action stated which may include access to social networking sitesrdquo The Court further ruled that a Plaintiff ldquocannot maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when she created the account and voluntarily posted the information knowing that the information could become publically availablerdquo Therefore if you are ever in a situation where you need to retain a motorcycle accident attorney I would advise that you dial 1-888-CYCLE-LAW ask for Lee Gaber and temporarily sign off of social media sites

Given the severity of most of my clientrsquos injuries once they hire a motorcycle accident attorney they expect our office to do everything we can to recover the maximum settlement possible As such when a third party carrier is being unreasonable we file a claim against the person who

caused the accident and your own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits

Recently in Allegheny County in the matter of Stepanovich v McGraw and State Farm Insurance Company this is exactly what happened The Judge presiding over the case went on to characterize the insurance company as ldquoanother interested partyrdquo and permitted a ldquodouble teamingrdquo of the Plaintiff by allowing the insurance company and the person who caused the accident to have counsel during the trial As a result the Plaintiff lost the trial and post-trial motions were filed After the post-trial motions the Judge reversed his own ruling granted a new trial directing that the defendant insurance company should be identified to the jury The trial judge wrote ldquoby allowing the insurance company to remain unidentified was advancing the perpetuation of a myth that has outlived its usefulnessrdquo The Judge further opined that virtually every juror that owns an automobile or drives one knows about the necessity in our complex society to have insurance on that vehicle Jurors are also aware under Pennsylvania Law that every automobile owner must have his vehicle insured thus it is a denial of reality to pretend that insurance is not involved in every motor vehicle case In doing so the judge was actually saying that every reasonable juror understands that there is motor vehicle insurance or should be in every auto or motorcycle claim and therefore to refuse to identity the name of the underinsured motorist carrier for fear of prejudicing that insurance carrier is in reality a myth
