Motorcyclist Moses Rickleberger underwent emergency treatment in the East
Florida Baptist Hospital for an injury to his private parts on the final
day of the Daytona Bike Week. Lawyers for American National Airways are at
present awaiting Mr Rickleberger's discharge to issue a writ for $30
million while Miss Amy Listroper is leading a class action on behalf of
passengers.

In the spirit of the Daytona Bike Week, Mr Rickleberger was riding his
Buell motorcycle along Interstate 4 dressed only in a T shirt, baggy shorts
and a bandana. As he was approaching the Deland Airport exit, an insect,
later identified as a European Hornet, flew up the leg of his shorts and
stung his left testicle.

Mr Rickleberger reportedly tried to smack the insect in an effort to kill
it but succeeded only in injuring himself further. Mr Rickleberger
apparently snatched open the throttle of the motorcycle as he reared back
in pain. He then veered off the highway, descended into a drainage ditch
and was launched over the perimeter fence and on to the wing of an American
National Airways Fokker taxing on the runway on a scheduled flight to
Miami. The bike landed on the right wing and embedded itself in the cabin,
causing the pilot to abort the flight and order an emergency evacuation of
the plane.

Mr Rickleberger had divested himself of his shorts and was rolling around
on the runway holding his crotch and screaming obsenities. Miss Litsroper
said "We were all terrified that we were being attacked by a mad biker
trying to hijack the plane. It was completely terrifying. He was a very big
man."

Despite the fact that the $29 milion turbo-prop aircraft was written off in
the incident, black civil rights campaigners describe the American National
Airways' intended lawsuit as "excessive and a clear case of institutional
and blatant race discrimination."
