Just can't have any fun!

Police in Australia have captured a motorcyclist who seems destined to spend much of his life either at bars, or behind them.

The rider was nabbed while riding drunk, with no helmet on, no lights on, with a flat tire, and while trying to perform wheelies in the city of Darwin.

The rider was "deliberately swerving back and forth across the lanes" while attempting to pop wheelies with a police car right behind him, said a police official.

Antivirus protection is important

Protect your computer

A motorcycle club in eastern Europe was the original target, but now the whole interweb seems to have been put at risk by a virus.

The netbug was a prank intended for a motorcycle club in the Slovak Republic, but seems to have got loose and is now endangering Windows users everywhere.

It's an old-fashioned kind of virus (if you can call anything related to the Internet "old-fashioned"), doing its dirty deeds by way of attacking a hard disk master boot record, which was a method used by viruses when the WWW was young.

Now it spreads by hitting USB sticks and disguising as an IQ test. It's called Zimuse and it fills the first portion of a disk with zeroes, making the disk unreadable.

The trouble with smoking

A man who just couldn't wait for a smoke was in critical condition last week after cleaning some motorcycle parts with gasoline.

The Newark, New Jersey, resident accidentally splashed himself with gas while cleaning his bike parts, then lit a cigarette and went up in flames.

Relatives put out the fire, but the man received second and third degree burns to his fingers, arms, legs, and stomach — that's no laughing matter, and yet, somehow it's hard to feel sympathy for the guy.

Somebody needs to fix the weather

Some people know enough to park when it snows

A man from Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, was lucky to avoid serious injury when he crashed a GL1800 Gold Wing in snow on an interstate highway in front of several tractor-trailer rigs.

The 56-year-old was pulling a trailer just before 5 a.m. in heavy snow and going about 15 mph when another vehicle passed him and sprayed slush and snow onto his visor and windscreen. When he tried to pull to the side of the road, he crashed and fell off the bike.

The driver of a following tractor-trailer was forced to swerve to the left to avoid hitting the rider, but his rig was then hit by another tractor-trailer.

Police said the motorcyclist could face a number of charges.
