Scott Cochran

aka Editor in Chief (Big Knot Head)

Legend has it, Chief Knot Head (the white men call him Scott Cochran) was found in an Great Eagles nest, (that had been taken over by Vultures) and when it came time to leave the nest the buzzards pushed him out. Of course he couldn't fly and promptly hit his head on the ground.  Thereby giving him the idea to start a motorcycle publication.  USRiderNews is the result.  His favorite t-shirt reads "it's hard to soar with Eagles, when they charge $80 to see one of their concerts!"  His hobbies are riding naked steel horses and weightlifting    (12 oz at a time.) He has a myspace page but all that's in it are pictures of him cutting the grass in his underwear and we know you don't want to see that. But, if you do, click here and ask to be added....but we warned ya!

Sylvia Cochran

Sales Director and Really Big Cheese

Cracks the whip whenever needed.  (enjoys doing it too!)  Job duties include; Meeting famous people and hobnobbing with celebrities, writes a monthly column called "View from the Rear." (sounds a lot kinkier than it really is!)  She also sells advertising and keeping the field sales reps in line. Her favorite rally is Cherokee, spring or fall.  Or whenever the casino is open!  Her favorite t-shirt reads;  "It's only kinky the first time!"  

Her hobbies have changed in the past few years. She used to love to ride nekkid in the back of pickup trucks and finding lost money, but today she enjoys the finer things in life.  Things like finding old money and riding nekkid in expensive European imports.  

She has a personal web page and if you'll send her $100 she'll forward you the address to it.  (cash only please!)  Oh, and this is a photo of her previous job as a pickle tester.  She got fired from it because....uh..well...it's a long story.

Tiffany "Puddin Wrestling Queen" Giles

Office Manager

Duties:  Making sure the office runs smooth, or finding someone to blame when the poop hits the plaster. 

HOBBIES:  Hmmm...I've heard of hobbies...that's some sort of kiddies' horse right?  What's that got to do with a motorcycle magazine?

Favorite Hair Color:  What?  Who the devil wrote this freaking survey?  "X'cuse me a minute...

Celebrity Most Likely to be Mistaken For:  Well, I've been told I look a little like Dolly Parton, but only in the eyes.  Whoa there hoss....keep your eyes up....

Favorite Quote:  There are those that watch, and those that do, and those who watch their do-do, but I ain't one of 'em, are you?

Paul "Don't think you're going to pass me" Phillips

Senior Editor

Duties:  Duties?  Who said anything about duties...This job better not interfere with my afternoon nap...!

HOBBIES:  Riding fast, and walking slow. 

Favorite Pasttime:  Past time for what?

Most exciting moment:  I got laid by a Dixie Darling!  Well, she's from Dixie and I called her "Dah-ling" the whole time, does that count?

Favorite Quote:  Any quote that uses the term "holeshot" is a favorite of mine

HENRY "WILD MAN" WHEELER

LAYOUT AND DESIGN

Duties and Responsibilities:  It's my job to ensure that all the ads in the paper are in the paper.  You see, sometimes ads that are in the paper are not actually in the paper and this can cause problems.  Also, I'm the guy who designs the layouts you love to see.  As for the layouts that suck, well, that's someone else's job.  I used to have that job, but I got promoted, so... 

FAVORITE HOBBY:   Watching Olympic Volley-Ball....I mean who doesn't enjoy watching women in skimpy clothing jumping around slapping each other on the butt? 

Most Exciting Date:  I went out with a professional wrestler...uh...well I didn't know she was professional at the time....I thought she was amateur until she made me pay her...

Role Model:  I grew up wanting to be Flash Gordon...he was da man!  I had a pair of Flash Gordon underwear that I got once for Christmas that I wore for years.  Well, actually, until last year...they finally..uh...disintegrated.  

PHOTO EXPLAINED:  Pay attention class, this will be on the test. 

Favorite Quote:  "Daddy Frank, the guitar man, was blind."

Cristina "you can't fool me" Guzman

Graphic Designer

Duties:  Putting pretty pictures in the paper.  I also keep Teresa busy trying to keep me from going to sleep.  I think I do some other stuff too, but this hangover is fogging my noggin.

Favorite things not related to work:  Pretty much anything not related to work is my favorite thing, except when goofing off becomes so much of a chore that it resembles work, and then what's the use, I might as well work.  Favorite Television Show:  I'm tempted to say USRiderTV and brown-nose the chief a little bit, but the truth is I like Spongebob Square Pants, that yellow fellow is a major hunk...If I was spilled kool-aid, I'd want Sponge Bob to soak me up!

Favorite Tourist Spot:   Any where that "dueling banjo" music is played.  The first time I saw Deliverance I just had to buy the record!  Yee-Haw...! 

Life MottoIf you think your life sucks, then it probably does, and I have the best boss in the world. (sorry, I couldn't help but suck up a little bit...I'm looking for a raise...!)

Most Embarrasing Moment:   You mean other than the one in this photo?  I didn't think so.

Favorite Band:  Well, it aint' Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes...oh, and don't even suggest Barry Man oh low, or Elton John...

Favorite Four Letter Word@&%$#  Wait, that's five letters...shit...!

Favorite Time of Day:  Break Time, Quittin' Time, Beer-Thirty, Boob o' Clock, you get the idea

Favorite Quote:  Gimme a Dr. Pepper and a Diablo sandwich and make it quick I'm in a #$%@&* Hurry!

Favorite Holiday:   Halloween! (I also like Spank'eeloon, held on the 5th of each month, unless that falls on a Friday then it's celebrated twice next month)

Favorite Favorites:   "what da F...$# does that mean? 

 

Ever been arrested?  Once, for aggravated hibachi'ery and felonious skullduggery, but I was acquitted because I married the States Witness and she couldn't be compelled to testify against me! 

 

What This Photo Says About Me:   It says that sometimes I drink too much tequila and have friends who like to make me act stupid...oh, and it says my wife Melanie LOVES ME VERY MUCH!

Neale Bayly

That Bloody Englishman

Neale is a free lancer.  No that's not his sexual orientation, that just means he writes for a bunch of different rags...whoever is willing to pay him....uh..well...maybe that does have some deeper sexual meaning..??  Anyway, he may be cheap but he ain't easy....Has ridden all over India, Europe, and even Florida!  (he gets around a lot) He resides now in the mountains of North Carolina and is being credited with ending the Hatfield and McCoy feud.  They said that they'd rather shoot Englishmen than each other....sounds like a plan....no wait guys..we need him to write...maybe just wing him...ok?

Favorite Shirt:  Death Before Employment.

Favorite Bar:  Bar, I don't say bar, you bugger...I'm English.  We drink in a Pub.

Favorite Motorcycle:  The one that gets me there and back. 

Most Memoriable Experience:  I once took a bath where Ghandi bathed.  It wasn't easy, let me tell you....that Ghandi was a short sucker...

 Anna Whitehead - Georgia Advertising Rep

Anna and her husband Trae, (he's the one working while she's in the spotlight!) are from North Georgia.  They used to be from that other place, but that was before they moved.  Now they're not there anymore.  But, we're sure glad they're here because it's way more fun here than there. 

 

Favorite Song:  Anything by the Slick Slippers, or that new band, The Dongles..yea, they're huge...

Favorite Time of Day:  Dahling...anytime you spend with me would be special...

Favorite Motorcycle Rally:  If I tell you then you might show up with a camera and before you know it I've blown my cover! 

Celebrity most often mistaken for:   Stacks....she was a famous twin and if you know who she was then you're old enough to know better.... 

Quote Most Often Misquoted:  I once said I'd try anything once and when the time came I couldn't back out so I tried it.  Well, now I have a new saying....."I'll try anything once, twice, three times....hey, someone bring me a calculator!"

 Teresa  - Subscription Manager

Teresa hates for her picture to be taken, and well...judging by her behavior in this photo we understand why!  Her normal duties include those duties that are normal.  The abnormal dooties are not her responsibility but she has been known to take an abnormal dooty from time to time..

Favorite Drink:   There's this new drink called "Get that dang camera out of my face!"  I like that one..

Favorite TV Fantasy:  Being investigated by Gus Grissom...whew...he makes me blow a fuse.....no wait dangit...that's not what I mean!

Favorite Motorcycle Rally:  I like the ones where nobody is sticking a camera in my face...and some where I get to sleep on a Smurf bed...and crawl to the bathroom...yea....love those...

Nicknames:   Lunchroom Lady....Nurse Teresa...grabbinjackbytheballs lady...

The Person I'd Most Like To Meet Not On TV:  Dang you idiots like to make this a hard survey don't you..?  If they ain't on TV why would I want to meet them?  Is it time for lunch now?

 Silent Bob  - Koozie Tester

At the present time, Silent Bob has not returned his survey.  As you can see from this photo it appears he has a good reason for his tardiness.  In his position as Koozie Tester, Bob is responsible for testing every free koozie we give away.   What does this have to do with publishing a first class magazine such as USRiderNews?  I'm surprised you have to ask.  Every smart business owner knows that it's essential to have a Consultant on retainer, and our sources tell us that BOB is the best there is.  Is BOB worth what we're paying him?  Well, since we give away hundreds of koozies all the time and each one has to pass a rigorous 3 beer test, and we've never had a defective koozie get past him since he joined our team, we think it's money well spent! Silent Bob, the koozie tester, we salute you...
