Another Biker at The Uricchio Law Firm

I’m not the only biker at the Uricchio Law Firm. Our invaluable legal assistant, Mandi, also enjoys a ride on the open road on her 1999 Harley Davidson Sportster. She has always loved motorcycles and was overjoyed when she met her husband, Stu, who rides a 2008 Harley Davidson Street Bob. He taught her to ride a little over a year ago. Stu has spent the last 6 months serving in Afghanistan, but will be back state-side in a couple of weeks, and then the two of them can hit the road together again.

Look Out For Motorcycles

A few weeks ago I posted a video called “You Didn’t See Me” that sheds light on the tragic consequences of motorcycle accidents. After forty years of practicing criminal defense, workers compensation and personal injury law in South Carolina, I can tell you that motorcycle wrecks are some of the most horrific cases I have been involved in. I can also tell you that after many of these wrecks the other driver reports that they never saw my client or their bike.

To bring awareness to the dangers of motorcycles going unseen on our roadways, I had bumper stickers made. Please feel free to stop by my office to pick one up for your car or bike! We are located next to the Charleston Crab House on James Island (147 Wappoo Creek Drive). Click here if you need directions or give us a call 795-9300.

South Carolina Biker Events: A Picture Story

This past Saturday morning my weekend was off to a great start when I rode my bike up to Ladson to attend the 4^th annual Fall Bike Rally and Car Show support Tri-County Bikers Helping Bikers. Later on I attended the Benefit Poker Run & Fish Fry at Spanky Bottoms in Summerville. Then on Sunday, I was off the 2^nd Annual UNDY 500 which ended with a fun after party at California Dreaming.

I can’t think of a better way to spend my free time than getting involved in these great local causes that all support individuals in our community! A few of my pictures are posted below, but to see many more from these great events, please visit my firm’s Facebook fan page.

Motorcycle Parking Predicaments in Charleston

admin — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 08:30:00 +0000

It’s been over three years since the City of Charleston and Republic Parking Systems, operator of the City’s 19 parking garages, banished bikers from its shady, covered parking garages onto the hot asphalt and coin guzzling parking meters of the city streets. The reason for the policy instituted in 2007, was to limit any possible liability that the City faced with motorcycles not always being detected on the loops and the potential of the gate coming down and injuring the rider. But the affect was to dramatically limit the parking options available to bikers on the Peninsula.

Today, there are a few biker-friendly metered lots located near King Street and Market Street. (Clearly marked as Black or Grey Squares on the map on the City of Charleston Parking Guide. And the City’s new SmartCard Parking Program allows drivers and riders alike to use prepaid cards to feed the meters instead of turning out their pockets and digging in their couches in search of loose change.

When parking in a metered spot, remember the City allows up to 6 motorcycles in each metered spot, so long as all the vehicles are parked within the boundaries of the space. (Municode Section 19-256).
