Geezer with a Grudge: Speaking of People Who Should NOT Reproduce

Speaking of People Who Should NOT Reproduce

This might be the dumbest, most public-image-destructive thing any group of motorcyclists have ever done:

I suppose it's terrible that I wish the cops had rounded up everyone of these assholes and shot them over one of our boarders or jettisoned them into the ocean from a giant clown cannon, but I do.

It really bothers me to see these stunts because as motorcycle enthusiasts we are continually fighting against the public bias that "we are all a bunch of disrespectful bikers" and this sure as hell doesn't help our image.

I agree with shooting them out of a cannon.; 2/1/13, 10:07 AM

The Geezer Story

I stumbled upon this column name (Geezer with a Grudge) almost 20 years ago, in 1999. The first Minnesota Motorcycle Monthly editor I worked with, in late 1999, complained that the magazine was getting no mail and the editors wanted to know if any readers were still out there. I fired off a sarcastic note, as a joke, intended to provide a little humor and some feedback. He published it as an article and later called me to say he'd received more mail on that letter than he'd received in the past year! I followed that with an offer to write a monthly column attempting to piss off a particular section of the magazine's readership to see if that tactic would generate some mail.

It did, probably more regularly than the magazine wanted at times, and I wrote a monthly column for MMM until the magazine died in 2018.

I plan to post an occasional old Geezer article into the blog, followed by short comments about the current status of my perspective on our activity/sport/vehicle of choice.
