CHICKEN TICKETED FOR CROSSING THE ROAD–RIDGECREST, Calif. (AP) — Linc and Helena Moore may have finally learned the answer to that age-old question: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Because the chicken doesn’t know jaywalking is illegal.
Kern County Sheriff’s Deputy J. Nicholson does know, however. The deputy issued a ticket March 26 because one of the couple’s chickens allegedly impeded traffic in Johannesburg, a rural mining community near Ridgecrest, some 220 miles northeast of Los Angeles.
The Moores were in Superior Court on Friday to plead not guilty. A trial was scheduled for May 16.
Nicholson has declined to discuss the matter, but sheriff’s Sgt. Francis Moore said chickens on the roadway have been a problem in the community of 50 residents. Officials didn’t believe it could be resolved by simply issuing the couple a warning.
“Sometimes you have to let people talk to the judge,” Moore said.
The chicken’s owners say they believe they were cited because they were among several people who complained that sheriff’s deputies haven’t done enough to control off-road vehicle riders who create dust and noise in their neighborhood.
Sheriff’s officials say that isn’t so, adding they are doing what they can to keep off-roaders away from homes.
“The chicken thing has nothing to do with the motorcycle thing,” Moore said.

THAT?S A WRAP–Sorry for all the product releases, but that?s all we got. They say no news is good news? Here is a statement Keith ?Bandit? Ball wrote to explain in his words why he resigned from Primedia.
?My commitment to thereaders of Bikernet was etched in stone. I would not abandon them. Mycommitment to Primedia was to help them direct their AMG titles for twoyears, if they bought Bikernet, and six months if they didn’t. I honored mycommitment.
So what’s the deal? I helped the AMG staff (American MotorcycleGroup) build a freelance team all over the country for expanded editorialcoverage. We redesigned all three titles and gave each a strong individualface. With the October issue of Hot Rod Bikes the name will change to BikeWorks for a tech bible re-launch. We expanded their involvement with eventsfrom two events to 10. We Sponsored Carrie Repp’s Road House Tour andsupported Billy Lane’s Blood Sweat and Gears tour along with Bikernet.
Istruggled with the big guys behind Primedia for a strong internet presence,but budgets held me back. I hope they will remedy that aspect. I pushed opendoors to involve our titles with Build or Bust and Build-Off programming andhopefully someone will follow through. The list goes on.
So what’s next? I’m coming home to Bikernet, but will continue tofreelance write and work with the HOT BIKE Staff on special issues. Andgoddamnit, now I can finish my Sturgis chop.?
There you have it. Like I said in the intro, this will be my second to the last news I do alone, after that I?ll gladly hand the keyboard back over to Bandit for his ever-so wise commentaries on all things bike related.
I hope you all have a great weekend; I was planning a trip with my daughter to just drive till we found miles and miles of California wild flowers, spend the night then come back. However, today Torsten the Master Cabinet Maker, started the closet in the master suite and will finish it on Saturday. So I guess I?ll be hanging around.
