Motorist Opens Fire on Hell's Angels By MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Writer

WEST HAVEN, Conn. - A motorist opened fire on a group of Hell's Angels motorcyclists along Interstate 95, killing one and injuring another, police said.

The bikers were traveling near West Haven around 3:30 p.m. Sunday when they were shot, said State Police spokesman Sgt. J. Paul Vance.

Police were considering a number of possible motives including road rage, and authorities across the Northeast were alerted to look for a green GMC sport-utility vehicle with Florida plates, Vance said. He said police believe four men were in the vehicle.

One of the bikers, Roger Mariani, 61, of Stratford, pulled over before realizing he had been shot in the upper torso, Vance said. He later died at the Yale-New Haven Hospital.

The injured biker, Paul Carrol, 37, of Bridgeport, was grazed by a bullet, treated at the hospital and released, Vance said.

Members of the motorcycle club gathered at Yale-New Haven Hospital Sunday night, prompting police to station officers there to keep order, though police spokeswoman Bonnie Winchester said there were no incidents at the hospital.

The investigation snarled highway traffic for hours, bringing cars to a standstill on Interstate 95. Vance urged anyone who witnessed the shooting or anything suspicious in the area to call police.

Who Makes These Changes? Rumi

Who makes these changes?
I shoot an arrow right.
It lands left.
I ride after a deer and find myself
Chased by a hog.
I plot to get what I want
And end up in prison.
I dig pits to trap others
And fall in.

I should be suspicious
Of what I want. :tongue2:

Rode up Tantalus hill in Honolulu this morning. It's about five miles from the pumpimg station start point to the turnaround point...nothing but hairpins and cutbacks all the way up and fairly steep (the turnaround is not quite at the top, which itself is just over 2000 feet in elevation). Going up was a bitch (I got serious chicken legs) but coming back down was a blast...

Mili, I've changed my gearing for hill climbs. I now run a 13/30 cassette, the 30 is a bail out for the outrageous stuff like Taos Ski Valley road. It, the gear change, is cheap, about $55. And it makes climbs much easier! :tongue2:
Taos Ski Valley road climb is from 7400 to 9200ft! The last 1/4 mile is the worst! It kicks up dramatically.
