THE MARK FELDMAN STORY–A man walks into the street and manages to get a taxi just going by. Hegetsinto the taxi, and the cabbie says, ‘Perfect timing. You’re just likeFrank.’

Passenger: ‘Who?’

Cabbie: ‘Frank Feldman. He’s a guy who did everything right all thetime.Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank Feldman every single time.’

Passenger: ‘There are always a few clouds over everybody.’

Cabbie: ‘Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could have wontheGrand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an operabaritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard himplaythe piano. He was an amazing guy.’ He had a memory like a computer. Hecould remember everybody’s birthday. He knew all about wine, which foodstoorder and which fork to eat them with.

He could fix anything. Not likeme.I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman, hedideverything right.’

Passenger: ‘Wow, some guy then.’

Cabbie: ‘He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoidtrafficjams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, henevermade a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make herfeelgood. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; andhisclothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too – he was theperfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up toFrankFeldman.’ He was perfect!!!

Passenger: ‘An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?’

Cabbie: ‘Well, I never actually met Frank. I just married his fuckingwidow.’

ASSALT WEAPAN FEATURED IN AMERICAN IRON–Just got my January issue of American Iron Magazine and note on page 18, Quoted & Noted section, Valerie Thompson talking up everything great about her success at Bonneville on your bike.But, not one mention of the bike and who built it or where it came from.

There’s a good picture of her on the bike but not one word about 5-Ball Racing. What gives? Should she not be giving credit where credit is due?

–Frenchie
Marc Beaulieu
5-BALL racing team member

I don’t know what it is that you did to American Iron Ragazine, but Go Daddy and Valerie got all the kudos, You, Accurate Engr. and BUB did nothing to help break that speed record.

— Concerned reader
& Monetary contributor
T. Anderson

Actually the GoDaddy.com crew sent out that release right after the meet and virtually everything contained in that release was incorrect. We pointed it out, but they never responded. A quirky bunch over there.

The boss of GoDaddy, Bob Parsons called me 24 hours before we left for Bonneville and kindly sent us a check. “Can I get a couple of stickers on the bike,” he asked?

I said, “Of course, send ’em quick.”

The next day the check arrived and two dinky stickers which we immediately attached to the bike. He’s complained about the size of the stickers ever since. Go figure. Within 24 hours we had his logo imprinted on our banner and the bike has already been on the cover of two national mags. Also, Valerie had nothing to do with that press release. She gave some numbers to GoDaddy and they did the rest. She has always been stand-up with every sponsor that has represented her. We love Valerie, support her in any and all of her efforts. –Bandit

KIRK HAMMET’S FORD, BUILT BY COLE FOSTER, WINS GOODGUYS KUSTOM OF THE YEAR– Kirk Hammett’s 1936 Ford coupe has won the 2007 Goodguys Kustom of the Year award presented by Grundy Worldwide.

Built by Salinas, California’s Cole Foster and his Salinas Boys Customs crew, the smooth and stylish ’36 Ford started as a five window but Foster and his team, through extensive modifications, made the car into a three window coupe. Extensive body mods include a handmade one piece hood, modified front and rear fenders flowing into modified running boards, modified stock dash and the list goes on. The project was 3 years in the making. Under the hood lies a Turn of the Century Ford Racing 302 small block which pounds out melodic notes through custom stainless exhaust built by Cole’s famous dad Pat Foster.

Traditional kustom amenities such as wide whites, custom spun disc wheel covers (with ’49 Ford horn centers) and perfectly molded rear fender skirts give the coupe a timeless, classic look. Hammett’s ’36 will be on display later this month at the 10th Southwest Nationals, November 16-18 at Westworld in Scottsdale, AZ.

carb

PSI’S GENESIS “BIG-AIR” Carb The Latest and Greatest Innovation in V-Twin Carb Technology!–Check out this HOT NEW SERIES 4 “patented” billet 48mm PSI “BIG-AIR” V-Twin Carb. It pumps out Big Torque gains from bottom end thru Top-End. PSI claims that in most cases you will see an 6-15 HP gain over the S&S Super G, E, and Stock CV carbs, and also the Mikuni 48/45/42 mm carbs. This carb works great on motors from 74 to 95″ and rocks on motors from 103 to 155″.

One of the coolest features of the “BIG-AIR” Carb is it doesn’t have any jets to change, or mess with! Just think, no fuel on your fingers ever again!!! All adjustments are made externally in seconds with detent clickable adjustment knobs while the bike is running so you can very quickly dial the bike to a perfect tune.It’s very easy to use and understand with 3 external fuel adjustments; the Pilot, Needle, and Power Jet, which fuels bottom end, midrange and top-end respectively! It’s guaranteed by PSI to supersede all other carbs in performance and tune-ability. It features a hard anodized flat-slide design with 8 ball-bearing rollers for a super smooth pull. It also features V-Shaped technology in the bore so it acts like a small 38mm carb on the bottom but pulls like a freight-train on top!

This carb contrasts heavily against your normal heavy fuel-squirting carb that often spurts and sputters because the fuel droplets are so heavy they fall out of suspension. With its own unique and proven process of handling fuel, it converts fuel droplets into a fine mist, and then super-vaporizes them! This allows the air/fuel mixture to remain in suspension throughout the intake process for incredible throttle response, maximum intake velocity, and max volume on top end. The “Big-Air” Carb is “patented” for its designs and technology and also passes 2010 emission standards. In simple terms, it’s cleaner, smoother and way faster!

PSI’s new series 4 production carb is designed with single or dual cable pull and is a perfect bolt-on to S&S Super G manifold and air cleaner set-up.

Available in Bright Dipped Clear Anodized Billet, Bright Black Anodized or nicely Chrome plated for the ultimate experience!!!

For more information check them out at www.psicarbs.com or contact Bruce @ 801.393.1030 or Rob @ 801.866.2451. Thank you PSI BIG AIR CARBS.

The above sign is destined for another Smoke Out show competitor. Bikernet chose three bikes that didn’t win HORSE trophy’s and deserved recognition, numbers 66, 6 and 60–strange. One trophy was collected by Kyle at Route 66. This trophy is headed to the guys who built the Cadillac scooter. And 66 is still missing.–Bandit

Myron, the owner of the Billet Biker Bar in Scottsdale trying out a new ’08 SPS model.

Hey,

Yep, it’s California Bike Week beginning right fuckin’ now in Los Angeles, in fact I rang the bell to start your engines, I think, or did I dream that? It’s mostly happening in Pomona at the fairgrounds, but parties are popping up in Beverly Hills, Universal City Walk, on Wilshire at the Peterson Museum and at Glendale H-D.

green and white
I like this paint job. There’s that “Green” thing again.

I remember the old days, partners flying out from all over the country for Love Ride Parties. We split lanes across Hollywood freeways from one party to the next until out of towners were scared shitless and girls were passing out. What’s a few thousand bumpers at 100 mph?

ChrisCallen
Chris Callen, from Cycle Source Mag, on a new SPS Bobber. He’s so big, the bike didn’t make it in the shot.

Just returned from the Sucker Punch Sally New Model Launch in Arizona. This group has hit the nail on the head, and you’ll see all the new models in the next couple of weeks. Journalists were on hand from most of the country’s mags including American Iron, The Horse, Cycle Source, Dealer News, American Dealer News, Motorcyclists and Thunder Press. Oops, I missed Courtney and his English partner from Hot Bike and Street Choppers. We had a helluva time riding the various models, playing horseshoes in the dirt, Titty Bars and warm sunlit roads in the desert. Can’t beat a light agile rigid that respects the traditions of the first choppers.

Banditonsps
How do I look? Highbars to the stars.

More on the ride and Knockout Motorcycles at the end. The reports are in and confirmed. The industry is coming back. We’ve seen what folks call a cleansing of our niche industry in the grand scheme of American Society. The tide has now turned. Business is picking up. Events are even feeling the buzz. Let’s rock and ride. No one will ever stop us from building choppers or riding like maniacs across the desert. Let’s hit the news:

Chrstianandworker
Christian, the SPS Boss and another member of the SPS team, but where was Sally. We’ll investigate in our story.

SUCKER PUNCH NEW DEALER AT MICHAELS MOTORCYCLE WORKS–We have recently signed on with SuckerPunch Sally’s and will be having an Open House January 12, 2008 when our first eight bikes are delivered. We are also having a Grand Opening April 5 with a ride April 6. We would love to have you here for one of these, especially since you were at my first Grand Opening in the ’70s!

We are also working on a logo for a rally here in Woodland Park, CO honoring the military in August 2008. Could you help with some artwork for the logo?

DEFENDING AMERICA ‘S HONOR–When in England at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building by George Bush.He answered by saying, ‘Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.It became very quiet in the room.Then there was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break one of the French engineers came back into the room saying ‘Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intended to do, bomb them?’

A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: ‘Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck.. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?’

Once again, dead silence.

cci cycle control

MD ELECTRONIC CONTROL BOX–THE MD cycle control box from Custom Chrome is claimed to be one of the smallest units on the market. It allows the use of push buttons for functions such as hi-low beam, turn signals left and right, horn and has an option for a starter button. The unit can be used with conventional or LED turn signals.

Due to its size it can be installed almost anywhere on the bike; dimensions are 50mm x 45mm x 21mm.

Continuing the small scale theme is the MD mini solid state relay for hi-low beam. The small solid state relay for use with push buttons to switch between hi and low beam can be installed inside the headlight and switches from low to high beam at the touch of a button. Dimensions are 30mm x 30mm x 15mm.

S&S ANNOUNCES MATT SMITH WINS POMONA NHRA AND CHAMPIONSHIP– LA CROSSE, WI (November 8, 2007) S&S? Cycle announces Matt Smith on his Torco Racing Fuels Buell?, powered by an S&S 160ci Billet Pro Stock engine, has won the number one plate in NHRA POWERade Championship Pro Stock Motorcycle Drag Racing during the Pomona, California event.

In the season-ending race, the title was down to the wire. Of the four eligible riders to carry the number one plate home, Chip Ellis, Peggy Llewellyn and Matt Smith were riding S&S 160ci Pro Stock powered bikes, with Andrew Hines on his Harley rounding out the four.

“This season was a huge success for S&S, G2, and all the S&S-powered Buells,” said S&S President, Brett Smith. “A few years ago, the board felt we should immediately begin competing at the highest level in drag racing. In fairly short order, S&S power was able to bring home a championship!” Smith went on to say, “I cannot thank Matt Smith-the newest POWERade Pro Stock Motorcycle Champion, Chip Ellis, Peggy Llewellyn, Matt Guidera, Hector Arana, Chris Rivas, Junior Pippin, Tom Bradford, Michael Ray and the teams for their support of S&S and our race products. I would like to extend a special thanks to G2 for all the hard work they have put into not only their own Drag Specialties team with Chip Ellis, but all the teams fielding our engines. Without G2, none of this would have been possible. My hat is off to George and Jackie Bryce, Ken Johnson, Derek Churchwell, Ruth Olson and the entire G2 organization. But I have special thanks for my dad, George Smith whose vision, personal commitment and sacrifice made this such a success for S&S and all of our S&S-powered teams!”

The weekend was exciting with Ellis, Smith and Llewellyn winning races throughout the qualifying rounds. Hines tripped a red light in the second round of eliminations, sending Ellis and Smith to round three, each against US Army Suzuki riders. Both Ellis and Smith won, eliminating Hines from the championship and assuring an S&S powered rider taking the number one plate.

“Matt Smith has proven to be one heck of a racer,” said George Smith. “He’s cutting good lights and he’s figured out how to get away from the starting line better than anyone else, and that’s how drag races are won. He proved that again this weekend, even though we were making more power with Chip’s bike, as shown by our back half and trap speeds. My hat’s off to him. Congratulations to him and his team for a job well done.”

“Seven bikes in the Pomona field of 16 were S&S 160ci Pro Stock-powered Buells. And the good news is that in addition to our team and the new national champion, Hector ‘The Hammer’ Arana, Matt Guidera, Peggy Llewellyn and Chris Rivas all had great seasons on S&S-powered Buells,” noted George Smith. “The S&S-powered Buell program distributed exclusively by G2, is alive and well.”

When the lights went green, Smith ended up winning with a 6.944 at 191.08mph to the 6.957 at 192.17mph Ellis ran.

Congratulations to Matt Smith on taking the number one plate, Chip Ellis on coming in at number three in the season and Peggy Llewellyn for scoring enough points for fourth in NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle Racing. Be sure to look up the 2008 schedule and plan to get as many events as possible on your calendar now.
