PASADENA, Oct. Am attractive

arose, busted off his clothing and
made his escape before his identity

to the pavement and was slightly
bruised about the face and shoulders.
The bicycle was damaged.
The motorcycles weighed about 200
pounds, and he seemed to survive the
shock without bruises. The machine
