THE BEAST–Want to get a softer ride?It’s a swinging arm converted to hard tail butall the swingarm is in tact.

The springers are not too clever either.

It’s a nice looking hog but no bitch seat -so, suggestions – you know – telescopic forks
– low travel gradiated rear suspension
– Lower seat and add seatsprings

– just put a pad on the back mudguard and add a sissy bar

But where can I get the parts to fit ! ?

Now get your thinking caps on and askme for a pic. of the beast

O.k. Here is the beast – I was also looking at the type of side rails with an angle brack to the rigid frame as per orange example bike attached.

WORKING ON A SUNDAY–Check out these 2 pictures. I think it’s the same as your tank. You needthe cut-out at the bottom to clear a primary cover. It’s the one on thebattery box on the left side I don’t like. See how it’s not rounded off?

Cutback concave, for lack of a better description. Just the opposite of the Rside. I had to take my trans back out this week. Clutch hub shaft froze upinside the main output shaft. I’m not sure what happened. Anyway, I’mmaking a plate to weld on it today, after I’m done working. Gonna leavethe chrome on the tank part and paint the little wings black, to match thebike.

RIDE WITH WALKER– I may have sent this to you already, but if not, here it is. I’m doing a second ride around the state with Walker this summer, as his head road captain. He put his hat in the ring for governor, so it’s important to continue working with him. He rides and loves Harley, so another pro-bike legislator in the capitol is good for all of us. He was a state Assemblyman for a while, and I knew him back then also. Could you post this somewhere on your site? I think it helps others around the country understand that they need to make similar gains with legislators in order to move our agenda forward. Good luck on the magazine ventures. I have heard many good things about them since you grabbed ahold of the reins.

SPORTY LOVERS– Hey Bandit! Great to have you back and especially at Hot Bike, et al. Seriously, the publishing industry needed you back man.

BTW, it was good to see you have a special place for Sporty’s. I’ve been riding for years, had 2 BT’s and did a lot to them, sold them, and made money. The Sporty (Y2K 1200 Custom) was picked up new 5 years ago just to have something to ride on weekends. We’ll…over time things change…and so did the bike.

Here’s what a Sporty can look like with just a few selected bolts ons…real clean and nice.

BILLY LANE —brings Biker Build Off LIVE to MajorRallies in 2005
Blood Sweat & Gears Tour kicks off at Daytona Bike Week 2005
Billy Lane announces plans to tour in 2005. “The Blood Sweat & Gears Tour is going to be a place where everyone can come see fabrication, design and building happen right in front of their eyes.” said Billy Lane. “I’m really excited to be able to pull this off. I have been working on this idea for a while now, my good friend Indian Larry was scheduled to be my first guest builder in Daytona, so the first stop on the Tour is in his memory”.

The Blood Sweat & Gears Tour is based on one great, UNIQUE concept, Billy interacting with the crowds doing what he does best- building bikes. Billy will interact with the event attendees from a 50′ open front trailer. While on the trailer, Billy will work on his bikes and lucky attendee bikes. Each day, people attending will have a chance to join Billy on the trailer to work on their very own bike. Billy will show them everything from simple installation of parts; to tire change outs; to basic fabricating skills. All of the activity will be captured on film for future broadcast potential.

“From a fully equipped open trailer, Billy will be building bikes on-site. Throughout the process, Billy will be talking the audience through the build via a headset/microphone and I-Mag camera system. The headset allows folks in the back to hear Billy describe what he’s doing while the I-Mag camera captures it on multiple large screen televisions placed high enough for everyone to watch” said Jennifer Schneider, Billy’s assistant.

The crowd interaction is the key focus of the national Blood Sweat & Gears Tour. Billy wants to build WITH attendees.

The Blood Sweat & Gears Tour is scheduled to be at the following major motorcycle events;

Daytona Bike Week – Main Street and Olive at Full Throttle saloon

Laughlin

Sturgis

Myrtle Beach

Daytona Biketoberfest

Laconia

The Tour will provide two “build sessions” daily. “Attendees can expect to see tons of cool stuff, plus some of my long-time friends in the industry have sent great stuff for me to give away” said Billy. Choppers Inc merchandise will also be available throughout the Blood Sweat & Gears Tour. Billy will be welcoming attendees at all Blood Sweat & Gears Tour stops. He is looking forward to meeting folks from all over the country.

TWO NUNS AND A DOG–Two Irish nuns have just arrived in USA and one says to the other, “I am told that the people in this country actually eat dogs.”

“Odd,” her companion replies, “but if we are to live in America, we should do as the Americans do.”

Nodding emphatically, the mother superior points to a hot dog vendor and they both walk towards the cart.

?Two dogs, please,” says one.

The vendor is pleased to oblige and he wraps both hot dogs in foil and hands them over the counter.

Excited, the nuns hurry over to a bench and begin to unwrap their ?dogs.”

The mother superior is first to open hers. She begins to blush and then, staring at it for a moment, leans over to the other nun and whispers cautiously, “What part did you get?”

THE PRICE WAS RIGHT AT DEALER EXPO–KENNY PRICE AND RAY PRICE TEAM UP FOR 2005 AHDRA TOP FUEL DRAGS

The Founder and President of SAMSON Motorcycle Products, Kenny Price met with World Famous Drag Race Champion Ray Price at the 2005 Dealer Expo to finish final details for the AHDRA 2005 season. Samson Exhaust will be the title sponsor for the Ray Price Motorsports Top Fuel Nitro bike.

“The name Ray Price is synonymous with Harley Davidson drag racing and we are proud to be able to sponsor this race team,” said Kenny Price. “As title sponsor to Ray Price Racing, we are able to show our support to the industry.” Ray Price has been racing for over 35 years and is owner of one of the largest Harley Davidson dealerships in North America. Located in Raleigh, NC it is the only dealership in the country with a Harley Davidson Drag Racing Museum.

“SAMSON EXHAUST is the industry leader in motorcycle exhaust and Ray Price is the leader in drag racing,” said Nick Trumbo, SAMSON Sales and Marketing Manager. “It is only natural that Kenny and Ray team up to put the Number 1 plate on Ray’s bike.”

SAMSON Motorcycle Products designs, manufactures, markets and sells premium quality motorcycle exhausts exclusively in Anaheim, California, USA. Every product has been thoroughly tested to improve performance, enhance appearance and give the sound customers are looking for. As the industry leader in aftermarket exhaust, every part is inspected for the highest quality standards. SAMSON Motorcycle Products markets products under the Samson Exhaust?, Caliber? High Performance Exhaust and Shogun? Exhaust brand names

Big Changes at Ray Price Racing/Motorsports–Raliegh, NC: Ray Price Racing is changing not only their name but rider as well. Ray Price is changing the name of Ray Price Racing to Ray Price Motorsports, Inc. This name is necessary to facilitate changes going on at Ray Price Harley-Davidson/Buell and repositioning of his world famous race program.

Price explains, “We needed to change the name because we are moving into a new venue at the dealership. We are hotly pursuing expansion of our high performance shop, we have the space and we have the staff. Jeremy Hoy, crew chief, and Justin Heinle, engine builder, are ready to create high horsepower for not only the drag strip but street bikes as well. We have been working on this transition since my fall in Las Vegas ’03. My team has never let me down, they have never lost their vision for success and speed.”

Additionally Price is adding Pennsylvanian, Greg Grove to twist the throttle this season. Beginning his racing career on a Pro Dragster over ten years ago, Grove sees Price’s offer as a “once in a lifetime opportunity”. Grove owns and operates Grove’s Service Center in Elizabethtown, Pa. He was in the midst of attempting to sell his business when Price made the offer. “I’ve stepped up my efforts (to sell) since I talked with Ray. We’ve made several test sessions at Rockingham and I’m more than anxious about Gainesville.”

Ray Price has ONE more announcement, which should be available VERY SOON. STAND BY !

THAT’S A WRAP- Let’s get back to the subject at hand. It’s a trip. Tome motorcycles and specifically choppers are all about freedom, the artisticfreedom to build anything you want and to ride like a bat outta hell. It’sthe ultimate representation of the wild American lifestyle, the girls, thefun, good times, fast times, the parties, and the romance. No one builds achopper to improve his gas mileage to and from work. We don’t spendthousands on chrome to protect the surface of steel from the elements, it’sall about style and flash.

So, goddamnit, based on this lifestyle that I’ve loved since Iturned 16 and metal flaked a 50cc Honda Supercub, I’m going to ride Bikernetand HOT BIKE to be the best representations this industry has to offer.Beyond the jokes we’ll bring the best writing, humor, info, news, tech,event coverage and a girl once in a while. We’ll hunt for the finestmysteries the industry has to share, the wildest antiques. I’ve opened thedoor to publish any American V-twin feature I’m sure you’ll enjoy, evenPanheads Flatheads, Knuckleheads and more. Hell, even a bobbed Triumph fromtime to time.

I remember, back in the ’70s when the AMA put out a rule sheetfor street riders. It included: Never modify a stock motorcycle; put bothfeet down simultaneously at stop lights and pick them up the same; get ahair cut, wear specific clothing; walk the walk. Bullshit. Let’s ride anygoddamn way we want. Let me know your thoughts, check out HOT BIKE and RideForever.

WELCOME BACK for another week of news, jokes, pictures and reports. This week I have some good news and I have some bad news.

The good news is, we are in the home stretch with all the renovations that?s been going on in a few of the rooms here at the Headquarters. Carpet was installed the other day. Next week a guy will come in and do the finish trim and that wraps up six-months of waiting to permanently move in the bedrooms and my office.

The bad news is, the news will be short and we?ll be outta touch for a few days. I?m gonna do the phone wiring myself so pray for success, or we may be down a little longer. Hey, I know what I?m doing?

Here?s the news–

Congressmen Social Security– We probably all have seen this one, but not a bad idea to keep it fresh!

IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT!KEEP IT GOING!!!!

2008 Election Issue!!
GET A BILL STARTED TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS! ON SOC. SEC.This must be an issue in “2008 “. Please! Keep it going.

SOCIAL SECURITY:Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it.

You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare elevation in society. They felt they should have a special plan for themselves. So, many years ago they voted in their own benefit plan .

In more recent years, no congressperson has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan.

For all practical purposes their plan works like this:When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments..

This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two Dignitaries For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw $7,800,000.00 (that’s Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars), with their wives drawing $275,000.00 during the last years of their lives.

Younger Dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more during the rest of their lives.Their cost for this excellent plan is $0.00. NADA….ZILCH…This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You and I pick up the tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly from the General Funds;”OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK”!

From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid) into,-every payday until we retire (which amount is matched by our employer)-we can expect to get an average of $1,000 per month after retirement.

Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly benefits for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator Bill Bradley’s benefits!

Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made.

That change would be to:Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen. Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us .then sit back…..and watch how fast they would fix it.

WHEEL BE TOGETHER–
By Frank Carini
When the weather is nice, they can be found most Tuesday nights tearing up the pavement between Cape Ann and the New Hampshire border. Husbands and boyfriends are left in the dust, or at least home with the kids or in front of the TV, as this group of “biker chicks” cruises the North Shore.

Dressed in leather, or at least wearing some, with the wind whipping in their faces and a hog between their legs, these moms, dog groomers, bakers and message therapists are looking for … a good restaurant or some ice cream. What? You were expecting trouble?

Maybe, if they were riding with their aforementioned husbands and boyfriends. Well, that’s not entirely possible, since they would be going too fast to find any.

“Guys ride faster,” says Gloucester resident Robyn McNair. “We ride to the least-experienced rider’s ability. We don’t poke around like snails but we do like to check out the scenery.”

But don’t get McNair wrong. These women can drive 55. “We’re not stopping to put lipstick on,” she notes. “More like picking bugs off our teeth.” “We love to get out there and ride,” says Ruth Sullivan, a job counselor from Gloucester. “It’s a wonderful way to unwind after work and watch the sun set.”

The Iron Mermaids have been riding together since the summer of 2001. But don’t let the name fool you. They aren’t looking to become the female version of the Hells Angels.

“We’re just real people who enjoy each other’s friendship,” says McNair, who works as a dog groomer. “We just like to ride.”

The name came about when some of the original members of the group – there were about 14 – started kicking around some ideas. Iron Mermaids was the pick. Mermaids, because they all live near the ocean (it is a North Shore club, after all), but the word “iron” has nothing to do with the heavy metal or that heavy metal rock group with a similar name.

“Our name gets confused with Iron Maiden all the time,” says group – the bikers, not the band – co-founder and Gloucester resident Dianne Foster, who seems mildly annoyed by this frequent mix up. But in the Mermaids’ case, “iron” refers to their strength and their WILL (Wisdom Intelligence Laughter Love, according to Foster). And both were put to the test more than three years ago.

Today, there are about 10 Iron Mermaids, and they still get their motors runnin’ and head out on the highway lookin’ for adventure, or at least a beautiful sunset. They still cruise into Newburyport and Salisbury for dinner. They still stop for ice cream. But things are different now. There’s a notable void in their collection of Harley-Davidsons and Hondas. The heavy metal thunder their motorcycles make sounds different now.

“We’re a tight group and Connie’s absence is always noticed,” says Sullivan. “We still love to ride and we do it with her in mind.”

GOTTA LOVE THE MARINES–Marine Corp’s General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and you have to read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this!!!!

This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL REINWALD: We’re going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That’s a bit irresponsible, isn’t it?

GENERAL REINWALD: I don’t see why, they’ll be properly supervised on the rifle range.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don’t you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL REINWALD: I don’t see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you’re equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL REINWALD: Well, Ma’am, you’re equipped to be a prostitute, but you’re not one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended.

You gotta love the Marines!

Blond Again– A girl came skipping home from school one day. “Mommy, Mommy,” she yelled, “we were counting today, and all the other kids could only count to four, but I counted to 10. See? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!”

“Very good,” said her mother.

“Is it because I’m blonde?” the girl said.

“Yes, it’s because you’re blonde,” said the mommy.

The next day the girl came skipping home from school. “Mommy, Mommy,” she yelled, “we were saying the alphabet today, and all the other kids could only say it to D, but I said it to G. See? A, B, C, D, E, F, G!”

“Very good,” said her mother.

“Is it because I’m blonde, Mommy?”

“Yes, it’s because you’re blonde.

“The next day the girl came skipping home from school. “Mommy, Mommy,” she yelled, “we were in gym class today, and when we showered, all the other girls had flat chests, but I have these!” lifting her tank top to reveal a wonderful pair of C-cuppers.

“Errm, very good, dear,” said her embarrassed mother.

“Is it because I’m blonde, mommy?”

“No Honey, it’s because you’re 24. Chris T.

Court hears arguments in Bike Week anti-nudity case–
By JAY STAPLETON
Staff writer
DAYTONA BEACH ? An attorney for the activist arrested for showing her breasts during a Bike Week demonstration against the city’s public nudity law told a judge Thursday she was exercising her constitutional rights — and will do it again.Elizabeth Book, 42, was charged with the second-degree misdemeanor after she alone pulled up her tube top on the Main Street Bridge on March 7 during an organized demonstration that garnered international media attention.

“What a sad day indeed if the city’s desire to prevent someone from seeing another’s breasts trumps the First Amendment,” said Book’s attorney, Larry Walters.But city commissioner Darlene Yordon sees Book’s court battle as just another in a long line of challenges from opponents of the city’s public nudity laws.

“They’re trying another angle to nullify the ordinance,” Yordon said.Police officials estimate protecting Book during her protest — by blocking the street and having extra officers on hand — cost the city between $7,000 and $8,000.”I want a check for that,” Yordon said.

Book and her defense attorney appeared Thursday before County Judge David Beck to argue a motion for dismissal.Book, an Ormond Beach mother of two, said the ordinance — which allows men to go bare-chested but makes it illegal for women to do so — is unfair. She said her demonstration was meant to help women who were victimized by anti-nudity laws when they flashed their bare breasts during special events.Her attorney called the demonstration “exactly the type of activism that should be encouraged in a free society.”

Walters said the ordinance is unconstitutional and cited a portion that says nudity can’t be prohibited if it is “part of a bona fide live communication, demonstration, or performance.”Walters said the wording puts the city “in a box.”

Assistant city attorney Greg McDole disagreed.”She pulls off her shirt and she thinks that’s OK,” he said. “That’s not OK.”The judge said he won’t make a ruling pending a federal court decision on the constitutionality of the city’s ordinance. A lawsuit filed by Molly Brown’s II and Lollipops Gentlemen’s Club on Grandview Avenue is currently before U.S. District Judge John Antoon. The suit targets the city’s ban on public nudity and prohibition against nudity in places that sell alcohol.

After the hearing, Book said she plans “a much bigger, much better” demonstration during next years’ Bike Week.Her strategy is to protest March 5 on the west side of the Main Street Bridge.

“High noon,” she said. “I’ll be on the back of a flatbed truck.”

BIKERNET CARIBBEAN REPORT ? SORTA–Sorry about the news, on my way to Las Vegas and the Winter Rally. I wish I had more time, who knows, I might do the news in Your Shot this time. Thanks to Ivan??? Calling me crazy, at least he likes what I write, not like those bitches that keep whining.

If you are planning on showing up in Vegas, come look us up. There?s always fun shit to do, and like always the more the merrier. Man, the perfect place, big boobs, blondes, strippers, Sin City, baby. If it was close to the beach and had killer waves, plus nude beaches, it would be the super ultimate spot on earth (kind of what boring Disney claims).

Got the new Street Chopper, seems like my nusted buckles piece had some effect on people, cool, I guess that is the whole purpose. I want that cover, how about 3 or four bikes, chicks and surfboards…….

Like I said, time is limited, gotta finish packing and shit. It’s going to be cold, so no bunnies in the Hard Rock pool, so there you go. Good looking (and I mean HOT) lusty, nympho females, who would love have an unmeaning full relationship, now you know how to find me. If you are a transvestite or crack ho type, my name is Hank Young, look for my room.

Does anyone here think there’s a chance I can retire to Rincon and become a freelance writer? That would be cool….

See you guys later on…
