DISCLAIMER All the words in this site are the opinion of Rodent and if they insult, embarrass any individual, country, government, public official, or corporation, it's too damn bad. Sue me!

I've been involved in the motorcycle lifestyle since 1965 as a rider, biker, motorcycle salesman, photographer and writer. When I first started shooting photo articles for publication, I would submit articles hand written on the back of the event flyers.

But the world evolved into the cyberspace world it's time to go electronic and use more modern communication methods.

The idea for this cyberspace rag was hatched with my meeting with Steve Roe of SWBIKE.COM at the disastrous 1998 Arizona Bike Week. This event was the worst organized run that I'd been to in twenty years! But meeting Steve came out of the run. We talked and this site was born.

Now my stories, recommendations, lies, and photos will be published without the constraint of a editor or publisher, who has to answer to a higher authority.

You'll read many unpublished articles that for one reason or other never got published. There will be chapters of a book that never made it to print. Lots of wierd and strange stuff.

We will have listings of events WITH recomedations as to their quaility. (nobody else has the balls to do this).

You won't have to go to some out of the way newsstand, or bookstore to try to find it cause the mainstream stores refuse to carry it due to its controversial contents.

````Join me in this new adventure along the cutting edge of motorcycle and tattoo journalism. Who knows what direction and adventures it will bring. It's up to you out there to respond via E-mail and Snail mail to guide where we'll go. Your imput is very important.

I'll be writing and shooting stories on the road, at events, where ever a newsworthy event of interest occurs in the motorcycle or tattoo world, and they will reach you instantly, instead of the 3 month lead time required by the rags that mess with printers. You will be able to download from the site anything that you want a hard copy of. for reference, toilet paper or whatever.

We'll have upcoming events, interviews, product reports and recommendations from the biker world and tattoo world.

Now for the commercial. If you want to advertise on my site all you got to do is get in touch with one of the geeks in the web bastards office and they will take care of you. If they don't do you right, I'll fuck them up. Advertisements will not be censored and they'll take ads from anybody or organization without censorship.(Churches and Whorehouses take note!) They will help you create your ad according to your wishes and explain all the options.

They are the experts who will design hard hitting advertisements and get them into this virtual magazine. They will also keep this web site up and running according to my desires or else.

We will also accept contributions of money to help keep this site up and running. If ya feel RODENT.COM is worth a few bucks. Any donations will be welcome. Send them to RODENT.COM, po box 000, Bumfuck, NM 0000. No contributions are tax deductible.

Join me in this exciting adventure in this new photo-journalistic venture and together we'll make it the most controversial biker/tattoo news-rag in the world.

LET THE NEW MILLENNIUM BEGIN!!!!
