SUPER MAX SAVE THE PULLEY WORLD– SuperMax is proud to offer the worlds only option to repair worn out metal rear wheel pulleys. SuperMax can replace the teeth on most factory and aftermarket 61, 64, 65 and 70 tooth rear wheel pulleys, increasing their life span . . . indefinitely!
Some factory and all fancy aftermarket pulleys that you have paid enormous bucks for and are typically “toast” in as little as 15,000 to 20,000 miles. SuperMax can remove the old teeth from your old pulley and overlay new proprietary “space age” poly teeth on your pulley to retain your current pulley design.
Plus the pitch will be right-on, no more squeaking belts.

ANOTHER STELLAR REASON TO JOIN BANDIT’S CANTINA–We just discovered a 1932 one-of-a-kine Helicorn. It was placed in a barn and forgotten. More than six decades later this odd lost little gem was rediscovered, rebuilt, and reintroduced to the world. Buckshot delivered it to the Cantina and the story in now available to Subscribers. Joining is a great way to support Bikernet content and Snake’s constant Corona drinking habit.
BIKERNET NEW YEARS EVE PUBLIC WARNING–“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered.
Then I say to myself, “It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.”

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may leave you wondering what the hell happened to your bra and panties.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, GODDAMNIT, ECONOMY OR NOT–We’ll survive to party and ride another summer. I just had lunch with Eric and Bob Bennett from Bennett’s Performance. Together we will bring you some JIMS tools techs, and we’re working on a Zippers/D&D 2009 Touring bike performance upgrade. Ultimately we will install another Pegasus EFI system and show you how it’s done and tuned.
I’m also working toward publishing two books next year. My first Chance Hogan fiction and another 1%er book with Motorbooks Int. Plus we’re slowly working toward a film effort. It could be mighty important to our industry and this stinkin’ country. It’s all about freedom and motorcycling.
So 2009 is going to be a damn exciting year from a lot of perspectives. Our country will face changes. Maybe we can make the government see freedom in a resurgent light. And Bikernet will bring you more entertainment that ever. You’ll be there through each stage of publishing these books, building bikes or making a movie. Let’s party, 2009 is destined to be a helluva year.
Ride Free,
–Bandit
