- Now is as good a time as any to introduce Skids Poppe from LA Bike, a free rag
- available to most Southern Californians anywhere and quite a good rag, I might
- add. One of Mr. Poppe's functions is to write a column specifically on Moto
- movies called "Video Spokes." He finds ALL the trashy stuff and the reviews
- are hilarious. I'm looking at the review of the aforementioned Chrome Soldiers
- now. By the way, there's some girly biker movie he'd reviewed before but
- eludes me at the moment, that included Marina Sirtis of Star Trek: The Next
- Generation fame.

- Anybody looking to compile a list should definitely get back issues of this
- publication. You can contact the mag at P.O. Box 341220, Los Angeles, CA
- 90034. Phone/Fax is 310.559.9422.

- BTW, the skeleton biker character Napoleon Bones would make an ideal DoD
- mascot. He rides Harleys and Nortons and Ducatis and Kwackers and everythin'
- -- a politically-correct rider if I ever seen one!
