Dirty Dogs Roadhouse: A Biker Bar for the Whole Family

February 2, 2019 By Scott O'Sullivan Leave a Comment

Mark Miklos and Rob Tompkins have been buddies and bikers for over a decade. For many years, they talked about “one day” opening a biker bar together, so when a local bar in Golden, CO went under in fall 2017 and the property went on the market, Mark and Rob needed very little convincing to jump in with both feet.

Should I Call the Police After an Accident?

December 9, 2018 By Scott O'Sullivan Leave a Comment

Here we are in the dead of winter and even the most die-hard riders are having to crawl into their cages to get from Point A to Point B. I thought I’d share some advice about calling police after an accident because the decision is often less obvious when you’re in a car. Typically, if a motorcycle is involved in an accident, there’s no question whether you need to call police; the damages and injuries are usually significant. But what about car accidents?

By: Scott O’Sullivan, The O’Sullivan Law Firm

In the immediate minutes, hours and days after a motorcycle accident, people do the strangest things. Sometimes they act irrationally due to the burst of adrenaline in their bodies. Other times, they are simply naïve about their own injuries, or they innocently trust the other driver to take responsibility for the damages they caused.

Motorcycle Rider Foundation Brings Bikers Together in Denver

October 8, 2018 By Scott O'Sullivan Leave a Comment

From September 19 through 23, 2018, ABATE of Colorado hosted hundreds of bikers for the annual Meeting of the Minds conference. What an amazing gathering of caring bikers from around the country! Everywhere you turned, bikers were greeting each other with hugs, questions about family members, big barks of laughter, and a few embraces of condolence. Such a warm, passionate, loving gathering of bad-ass bikers! [Read more…] about Motorcycle Rider Foundation Brings Bikers Together in Denver

Don’t Get Punked by Your Insurance Company

I’m seeing a disturbing trend. Actually, this shady insurance practice has been going on for a long time but I used to only see it with the… shall we say… less respectable insurance companies. Now, I’m seeing it across the industry. [Read more…] about Don’t Get Punked by Your Insurance Company

Rider Justice Fighting for Stricter Texting-While-Driving Laws

September 7, 2018 By Scott O'Sullivan Leave a Comment

In 2017, I worked closely with Colorado Senator Lois Court to draft and champion a bill that would have increased the fine for texting-while-driving from $50 to $500. A second offense and any offense thereafter would have been punishable with a fine of $750. [Read more…] about Rider Justice Fighting for Stricter Texting-While-Driving Laws

Announcing Rider Justice: Fighting for Bikers’ Rights

August 3, 2018 By Scott O'Sullivan Leave a Comment

I recently received a call from a man who was at a funeral home saying goodbye to his son. To say that this call was the “straw that broke the camel’s back” would be a serious understatement. Prior to this call, I was already feeling overwhelmed, emotional and angry about the devastation I see in the Colorado biker community, which faces an unacceptable number of accidents, injuries and deaths on our roads.

Do You Know Denver’s Accident Hot Spots? This Map Shows You

July 7, 2018 By Scott O'Sullivan Leave a Comment

I live in Denver and I’ve lived here a long time. And, as anyone who has lived here for more than five years can attest: traffic is getting nuts! It feels like Denver’s streets are getting more dangerous by the day. But, aside from weekday morning traffic reports, it can be hard to determine how dangerous and where the accident hot-spots are. I wanted a way to view accidents in Denver by type and location so that I could make better, safer decisions about my typical travel routes.

Wild Ride Radio: A Biker Podcast

May 31, 2018 By Scott O'Sullivan Leave a Comment

I just have to tell you about a motorcycle podcast that I recently found! As you know, I do a lot with the Colorado motorcycle community, from sponsoring rides to joining the board of BikerDown to giving away bikes. Recently, I was in a conversation with a biker who told me about Wild Ride Radio, so I tuned in. It’s great! I asked a friend who is a freelance writer to interview Dallas so that we could get the word out about his great work to the local and regional biker community. Read the story below and check out the podcast: I think you’re going to like what you read and hear… [Read more…] about Wild Ride Radio: A Biker Podcast
