Church of MO: 2002 Scooter Smackdown
There were a lot of transitions going on at Motorcycle Online 20 years ago, not the least of which involved its founder, Ashley Hamilton (top left), pictured with her friends and MOites Sister Kim and Ray. I was entitled Editor in Chief as I recall, but they mostly told me where to jump and how high.

Church Of MO – 2002 Scooter Smackdown
Good day, all ye MO faithful, to the first installment of the Church Of MO. In this space every Sunday we will reach back in the MO vaults or deep inside the interwebs for a classic, interesting, or otherwise amusing motorcycle story. Whether or not a traditional faith is right for you, let us be your salvation from the heathens who crossed the double yellows, narrowly missing you on your ride this morning.
