THE LOST DOG REPORT–Look what is riding around in Daphne, AL.. Too funny. A lady told us the other day that she saw a man driving down theinterstate, and a dog was hanging on to the tail gate for dear life.
She said if he hadn’t been going so fast in the other direction she wouldhave tried to stop him.
A few weeks later her son saw this truck at the bass pro shop! It’s ataxidermist! THIS IS REALLY IN DAPHNE ALABAMA !
OFFICIAL BIKERNET SURVEY–Honest opinion, fellers… Do these Z bars look too narrow, or are they okay? The grips add another 1″ on each side. They’ll be mounted on “dogbone” risers for final assembly.

AND NOW A BIKERNET BREAK FROM THE WOES OF LIFE AND BAD LEGISLATION– 1. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
2. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
3. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don’t.

BIKERNET POLITICAL JOKE FACTORY–While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
“Welcome to heaven,” says St. Peter. “Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we’re not sure what to do with you.”
“No problem, just let me in,” says the man.
“Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we’ll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.”
“Really, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,” says the senator.
“I’ m sorry, but we have our rules.”
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, Shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting Rich at the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises…
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.
“Now it’s time to visit heaven.”
So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
“Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.”
The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: “Well, I would Never have said it before, I mean heaven has been n delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.”
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.
Now the doors of the elevator open and he’s in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.
He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. “I don’t understand,” stammers the senator. “Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there’s just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?”
The devil looks at him, smiles and says, “Yesterday we were campaigning. Today you voted.”

HARLEY-DAVIDSON DESERT PROVING GROUND OPERATIONS TO RELOCATE–Harley-Davidson Motor Company has reached an agreement with Chrysler to test motorcycles at the automaker’s Arizona Proving Grounds (APG) in Yucca, Ariz.
The agreement commences on July 1, 2009. “We will begin moving testing operations from our current Arizona testing facilities in Mesa beginning April 2009 with full utilization of the new facility by July 1,” said Senior Vice President Ron Hutchinson.
Harley-Davidson will improve and occupy several buildings at the APG’s 3,650-acre facility and use an existing five-mile, high-speed, banked oval track for vehicle testing. Other features at the APG include:
The Motor Company will also be constructing a durability road and a vehicle dynamics road course that will be used exclusively for Harley-Davidson and Buell testing.
The decision to relocate the testing operations was prompted when General Motors’ announced plans to sell its Mesa testing facility, a portion of which Harley-Davidson currently leases for testing.
“We are pleased with the new facility and anticipate a smooth transition with little impact to our continued ability to test current and future Harley-Davidson and Buell motorcycles,” said Hutchinson.
