2012 THE YEAR OF THE STRIPPER !!

O

r should I say Strip Club Choppers at this time last year I had one franchise SCC of Canada as of today we have 25 really really wow it has far exceeded my wildest expectations. What that means is we will have state franchise rigs at large and small events all over north america throughout the entire tour season. We are also building a brand new show trailer that will be primarily utilized to display bikes to compliment individual state franchises that are set up at events. The new trailer will be equipped with a flat screen tv and sound system as well as a customer lounge area. We will still be attending events but the local state franchise will be primarily responsible for the retail sales at events.

Many franchises have built or are building SCC display

Fa s t L a n e B i k e r

bikes featuring the signature dance pole and virtually all have a dance stage and music. We are also bulding a brand new display bike for the 2012 tour season which will be debuted in march at daytona bike week. We have also decided to have a retail catalog for 2012 which will feature all the new products and designs I even have a new i phone and laptop cover in the works. i am sure many of you think this article is a self serving shameless self promotion and you would be right but now I am serving a much bigger dysfunctional family coming to a show near you.

ASK THE ATTORNEY BY: LEE D. GABER, ESQUIRE 1-888-CYCLE-LAW • LeeGaber@cycleattorney.com • www.cycleattorney.com In today’s digital world with everybody utilizing the Internet, Face Book, Twitter and all sorts of social media for virtually everything, it has become extremely easy for anyone to design a web page, throw a couple of pictures on it, write an article and claim that they are an expert in virtually any field you can think of.

It has become the modern version of “padding your resume” and hoping that a potential employer doesn’t dig too deep into your background.

I am discussing this because occasionally I go on the Internet to check out other attorneys who claim they handle motorcycle accidents.

While I do not know every attorney who advertises, after twenty years in the motorcycle community, I am familiar with those attorneys who have a reputation for focusing their practice on motorcycle accidents and ave the knowledge and experience needed to fully and competently represent a seriously injured biker. However, when I search for motorcycle attorney’s, I am amazed by some of the attorney’s whom are claiming to be “motorcycle accident attorneys”. I believe many of these attorneys couldn’t tell the difference between a Harley and Vespa, and have limited experience with motorcycle accidents, if any at all.

While this doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t competent to handle a motorcycle case, in my opinion, if an attorney holds himself out as specializing in, or focusing their practice on motorcycle accidents, they

Fa s t L a n e B i k e r

should have significant experience with motorcycles and/or involvement in the motorcycle community, rather than simply paying a web designer to show them standing next to a motorcycle and throwing some generic articles about motorcycles on their website.

I suggest that if you ever need an attorney, rather than going to the internet and blindly choosing one who “claims” they handle motorcycle accidents, ask a friend or co-rider for a referral, or simply call me.

While it may not be required to ride a motorcycle to represent a biker, wouldn’t you rather deal with an attorney who not only rides, but supports the motorcycle community, has personally handled thousands of motorcycle accidents and truly does focus his practice on representing bikers?

At this point in my career, although most of my new clients come from referrals, those that I have met at motorcycle events and through lectures I give at motorcycle clubs, I am in the process of updating my web presence to make sure that if anyone needs to reach me and doesn’t have a magazine handy, I will be easier to find.

Many of you have heard the phrase “I am not a doctor, but I play one on TV” well, I am a real motorcycle attorney ... I don’t just play one on the Internet!

Sincerely,

LEE D. GABER, Esquire
