Hellbound Steel Motorcycles, one of the leading bike manufacturers in the US, has recently walked away with the prestigious ?Most Innovative Product ? award that was given to them by Hot Bike Magazine in Indianapolis, IN at Advanstar?s Big Twin Expo East for their new 2005 single-sided swingarm production bikes. This is HBS? first award and they beat out such notables as American Ironhorse and Big Dog Motorcycles.
Paul Cavallo, co-founder and head designer was the first HBS principal to go up on-stage to accept the award in front of all his industry peers. Mike Molloy, President of HBS and Mike Salyer, VP of Production also accepted the award. ?It was a night full of surprises and excitement for all of us at HBS?, exclaimed Molloy. Paul has been working on this project for over 18 months and it is an honor to receive this award from one of the main ?voices? in the industry?, Molloy concluded.
Cavallo designed HBS? lightweight, yet incredibly strong-patented single-sided swingarm because he wanted to separate them from the rest of the pack. Cavallo stated, Our single-sided swingarm is found on our 2 latest models, The Heathen, which is a 22? over fully-loaded chopper and our Fury II which has the rake of a chopper, yet the look and performance of a pro street bike.? ?I?ve incorporated a cartridge-style axle and many top secret components to make my dream become reality?, Cavallo concluded.

BONNEVILLE WORLD’S FASTEST MOTORCYCLE RECORD–After a year of thinking, Joe T. (Easyriders owner) says that he does not want to do another Bonneville RecordAttempt. Dave Campos is interested, but has no support. Dave is placing the old EasyRiders Lineron display in his local area.
Would you be interest in running a article on my V4 Harley? You wrote one of the two articlesthat appeared in EasyRiders way back in 1982. The article could be a update, or a way to seeif there is interest in winning the motorcycle record back for America, or what ever you want todo.
The V4 Harley is back from Daytona Bike Week and October Fest. The bike is at my Compton California place. I have started the engine, but have not ridden the bike.
I am still looking for lady riders.

BIKERNET LEGAL ADVICE–A very successful lawyer parked his brand new Lexus in front of the office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a truck came along and ripped off the driver’s door of the Lexus.
The counselor immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialed 911, and a few minutes later a policeman pulled up. Before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically. His Lexus, which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter how the body shop tried to make it new again.
After the lawyer finally wound down from his rant, the cop shook his head in disgust and disbelief. “I can’t believe how materialistic you lawyers are,” he said. “You are so focused on your possessions that you neglect the most important things in life.”
“How can you say such a thing?” asked the lawyer.
The cop replied, “My God, don’t you even realize that your left arm is missing? It got ripped off when the truck hit you.”
“My God!” screamed the lawyer. “Where’s my Rolex?!”

ANOTHER BIKERNET RELIGIOUS MOMENT AND IT’S NOT EVEN SUNDAY–Sunday’s sermon was “Forgive Your Enemies”
Toward the end of the service, the minister asked, “How many of you have forgiven your enemies?” 80% held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one small, sweet elderly lady.
“Mrs. Jones,” he asked, “Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?”
“I don’t have any.” she replied, smiling sweetly.
“Mrs. Jones, that is very unusual. How old are you?”
“Ninety-eight.” she replied.
“Mrs. Jones, would you please come down in front and tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years and not have an enemy in the world?”
The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said: “I outlived the bitches.”

COUNT’S KUSTOMS ATTACKED BY RADIO DJ FOR TURNING DOWN GOLF PROJECT BIKE–Isn’t that what its all about, like the guy the other day who got all pissed off at me because we wouldn?t build him a “Golf” theme bike for some T.V. show. He said he was trying to build this bad boy golfer image, I told him all right then why don’t you just build a bad ass bike instead of a “Gay” golf theme bike.
I guess the outlaw builders (see below) like the rule-breaking, outlaw-talkin’, chick-chasin’ words. This came in today; unsolicited. Count’s boys followed up their voice mail with an email. Fuck the Discovery Channel bikers.

GRAND STRAND MOTORCYCLE EVENTSNAACP– rallies to demand equal treatment of bikersOrganization launches Operation Bike Week Justice.
National and local leaders of the NAACP challenged residents Thursday to report and protest racial discrimination during the Atlantic Beach Bikefest.
The civil rights organization held a rally at Myrtle Beach City Hall to announce a hot line to file complaints as part of what is being called Operation Bike Week Justice, asking residents to hold Myrtle Beach’s government accountable for “discriminatory practices” and hold Mayor Mark McBride responsible for his statements about black bikers.
“We are here to demand equal treatment and first-class citizenship for all tourists that visit Myrtle Beach, for all African-American visitors to the beach,” said Angela Ciccolo, interim general counsel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. “We are here to let Myrtle Beach know that the eyes of the world are watching and will be watching for the next several weeks.”
The fight over the traffic plans for the two bike rallies is the latest round in the NAACP’s effort to stop what it calls discrimination in South Carolina. The 2000 dispute over the Confederate flag led to an NAACP boycott of the state, and multiple lawsuits were filed surrounding the Grand Strand’s May bike rallies against restaurants, a hotel and the city.
What happened
A federal appeals court refused Thursday to expedite a hearing on the city’s bike-rally traffic plans.
Officials from the NAACP held a rally to announce Operation Bike Week Justice.
What’s next
NAACP leaders will monitor the two rallies over the next two weeks.
Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals will consider the city’s appeal of a U.S. District Court ruling that ordered the city to use the same traffic patterns for both rallies. The appeals court has issued a stay on that ruling, allowing the city to use different traffic plans.
