California Highway Patrol Arrest Biker
San Luis Obispo, CA (January 3, 2017) — One motorcyclist has been arrested and
officers are looking for a second one after a pursuit that led officials down
Highway 101 on Tuesday afternoon.
A California Highway Patrol officer stopped three
motorcyclists on the Cuesta Grade at about 2:30 p.m., according to CHP Officer
J.W. Townsend. One of the motorcyclists yielded, but the other two sped off. It
is not yet known why the officer conducted the original stop, Townsend said.
Officials arrested one of the motorcyclists as he was
coming out of a Shell gas station on Los Osos Valley Road and Madonna Road in
San Luis Obispo, Townsend said. The man was wearing a Hells Angels vest with a
Ventura patch.

Tom Fugle: Founding member of El Forastero MC, dead at 75
SIOUX, IOWA (December 18, 2016) — To many in the
mainstream biker world, his name has no meaning but if you were in the Chopper scene
in the 60's and 70's he was already a legend. His influence is forever engraved on the custom
bike building world.
Tom bought a Harley dresser in 1961 for $800 bucks and
turned it into a chopper, the bike only had 3,000 miles on it at the time. Tom
built traditional old style choppers for his entire adult life.
Tom Fugle
Tom was very good friends with legendary biker artist Dave
Mann, a fellow El Forastero MC member. Tom even delivered a eulogy at Mann’s
funeral in 2004.
Tom kept building the style of bikes integral to the chopper
movement that he helped pioneer in the 60's and early 70's. In fact, Tom built the
style of choppers that many today cite as inspirational and ground breaking at
the time.
Our condolences to his ole' lady, friend and companion Jennie DeCora, and his
brothers in the El Forastero MC. Rest In Peace Tom Jerome Fugle, you taught us
a lot.
A memorial service is planned at a later date, yet to be
determined, according to Waterbury Funeral Service.
