The four websites called skisbar.com, skisplace.com, murphysbackyardpub.com and englishmike.biz are all copyrighted by Michael Jurek (aka English Mike). they are the outgrowth of a vision about motorcycling.

Skisbar.com

 Skisbar.com was meant as a way of sharing information about local events and the pictures that I was taking at the time. As fate would have it things kept growing until the site was very unmanageable. Hence, the need to make a few changes...

Skisplace.com

These are pictures that are from the original bar and the people who populated it (Ski's People as the Police would call them). The Upstairs is an example of remembering those who have left us.

Murphysbackyardpub.com

What can I say, I enjoy the place. Was using space on Skisbar.com for the place and figured that it really didn't belong there. Yes, it is the new home of many of the patrons, but it is not Ski's. Giving it is own place is best for all.

Englishmike.biz

All the biz that is fit to print! There were a bunch of things that grew as time went by, like the BBB, the Archive, The Portfolio, The Rant. The Trophies and yes - The W. C. You might say that all the odd-ends ended up on Englishmike.biz! Not that bad of a thing.

Policies:
1. I know I can not make every event in Indiana, I try to get to Region One events first. If I have recent pictures from an event will run them if I know who took them and there are a few words with them.
2. Fliers are an important way of getting the word out about an event. If I don't have them I can not put them in the Front Room. I need them early enough to do anything I might need to before publishing the site. One month in advance will work very well. The events from the ABATE Sanctioned List are listed on the ABATE page as soon as I can get them for the next year.
3. Pictures that I use that I took may not all end up on the sits. The reason being that many times they are blurry or too dark to be fixed. Anything that I put on the site is sent to ABATE of Indiana and they have the right to pick and choose which they will use for their publication. I have no way of knowing which they will use.
