BIKERNET FOREIGN RELATIONS–A Frenchman and an Italian were seated next to a Biker on an overseas flight. After a few cocktails, the men began discussing their home lives.
“Last night I made love to my wife four times,” the Frenchman bragged, “and this morning she made me delicious crepes and she told me how much she adored me.”
“Ah, last night I made love to my wife six times,” the Italian responded, “and this morning she made me a wonderful omelet and told me she could never love another man.”
When the Biker remained silent, the Frenchman smugly asked, “And how many times did you make love to your wife last night?”
“Once,” he replied.
“Only once?” the Italian arrogantly snorted. “And what did she say to you this morning?”
“Don’t stop.”

JANKLOW DENIED EARLY JAIL RELEASE–Janklow was refused permission Tuesday to leave jail early, as a judge discredited his appeal as an effort to postpone justice.
“Retribution should be swift, and it should be complete,” Circuit Judge Rodney Steele said at the close of a 10-minute hearing at the Moody County Courthouse.
Steele’s ruling meansJanklow will stay in the Minnehaha County Jail for 75 more days – until May 17, the end of his 100-day sentence for causing the collision that killed motorcyclist Randy Scott.
Janklow remains eligible for daytime release for community service, starting March 8, but he has no plans for that.
“Right now, he has not got anything scheduled and at this time isn’t sure if he’s going to,” said Perry Danforth, chief court services officer in Huron. “That can change at any time during his incarceration.”
Janklow, who has appealed his case to the South Dakota Supreme Court, did not appear in court Tuesday. His lawyer, Melissa Hinton of Sioux Falls, argued that he should be released during the appeal, saying he is no danger to society, nor is he a threat to flee. Hinton noted that he was allowed his freedom before and during the trial and for two months afterward until reporting to jail Feb. 7.
“Mr. Janklow, just like every other defendant, has a right to appeal,” she said. “The appeal in effect would be moot because Mr. Janklow would have served his entire sentence before the Supreme Court heard the case.”

CLEANING STUFF–Need cleaning equipment specifically for bikes. Well, the factory now carries what you need. See a dealership, check the H-D web site or get a catalog quick.
A BIKERNET RELIGIOUS MOMENT– A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer.Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, “Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I willgrant you one wish.”
The man said, “Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want.”
The Lord said, “Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that would honor and glorify me.”
The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, “Lord, I wish that I could understand my wife. I want to know how she feels inside, what she’s thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says ‘nothing’s wrong,’ and how I can make a womantruly happy.”
The Lord replied, “You want two lanes or four on that bridge?”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHIL PETERSON–My friend Phil Peterson who owns Miami Harley Davidson turned 80 years young on February 24- 2004. A party for him and a celebration of the new Miami store being opened for 8 years was held at the dealership on Sunday February 22nd. It also celebrated the Peterson family being in the Harley business for 50 years.
There were vendors, super deals in the store and basically all the things that go into making of a fun day. Face painting, balloons for the kids ( I did not see any age restrictions) and knowing Phil I suspect Big Kids could be included, Damn I didn’t get one.
Actually that was my fault. I was sick and did not make it, which made me feel bad all over. Phil and I have been in touch though, and he knows I was with him in my thoughts and that he always has my best wishes.
If you are in the Miami area visit Petersons Harley-Davidson. If you ever get a chance to meet Phil do so. You will never meet a nicer person.

2004 SMOKE OUT UPDATE–I heard from the Indian Larry camp and it is official. Indian Larry and Paul Cox will be at Smoke Out V. Of course, Billy Lane will be there. It would not feel like a Smoke Out without the HORSE, B.C.?s favorite son. Undoubtedly, the women will be lining up to have their breast autographed. It?s hard work but Billy?s up for it.
The other news is a bit ominous. I was in San Pedro this week and had dinner with Bandit, Layla and the Bikernet crew. Then Coral, Sin Wu and Bandit?s ex (not so ex?) lover showed up. I thought there was going to be a catfight right there in the 22nd Street Grill. Both of those girls are such hard-bodies I tried to convince them to come to the Smoke Out. Both hot tempered, hot blooded and hot looking vixens may attend the Smoke Out along with Bandit and Layla, but I am not sure they can behave.

WIDE TIRE INFO–We have a Bikernet goal to deliver as much wide tire info as possible to our readers. If you check the Avon department you’ll run across several articles, but we need to go beyond what’s published so far. I recently proposed the notion to John Covington, who wrote the safety article listed on the Bikernet Home Page. Check it out. Here’s his response. I’ll keep on working him:
That subject could get very complicated…fit to what? The big tire thinghas become so far removed from sticking them on stock H-D’s. There’s the PM240 kit and the Ness/German 250 for a Softail. I’ve installed them, but they endup so expensive, it makes more sense to build a bike the way you want itin the first place.
It’s much easier/cost-effective to find THE chick withTHE boob job in place. The stat’s are that most chicks move on after theguy has bought her the larger rack anyway…….. It’s just more costeffective to zero in on what you really want in the first place. Thosemods, like boob jobs, are costly. Then most ‘trade up’ and sellthe modified version for the ‘real thing’ whatever that may be? I thinkbreast augmentation surgery is less expensive too. Tough decisions.
BigTits/Big tires?
I do get people inquiring about doing the 250 kits on their H-Ds but oncethey realize the final costs above and beyond buying the kit, wheels, tires,fenders, tail lights, struts, PAINT..it’s a tough sell.
I just signed a lease on the space next door to my existing store, we’reexpanding the shop to set up a mini-production area for the Muscle 300’s in all thevariations, chopper, long low, pro-street and fat ‘n wide. hit the “pricesand specs” button on http://www.musclebikes.com/motorcycles/ for the spread sheet on modelswe’re working on.
Photo’s of one of the Ness 250 German made kits is on my site here toohttp://www.musclebikes.com/motorcycles/sch/ black bike top of the scroll,250 kit on a night train. The customer wanted the Avon 250, not theMetezeler 240 kit (that’s all that will fit on the PM unit). It’s “10 more”.Installing it was like sticking 50 pounds of crap in a 10 pound bag, trannymods, custom struts, frame grinding, custom brake anchors, wheel hubmodifications,..whew! And then after all that, it didn’t deliver the ‘shockand awe’ for the bucks. I’m not really the believer in that stuff.

PEPPER SPRAY KILLS–FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. ? A grand jury has issued a report on how police and paramedics might have prevented the death of a man who died in police custody after being pepper-sprayed.
Raymond Sterling Jr., died April 19, about an hour after police used pepper spray to subdue him while he resisted arrest for speeding in his car.
The same grand jury cleared the police officers and paramedics of criminal wrongdoing in December.
Wednesday?s report said Fort Lauderdale police officers should have told the paramedics they pepper sprayed Sterling, 21, after he ran from a traffic stop and struggled with them, rather than saying Sterling was ?exhausted.?
Also, the paramedics who arrived at the city jail should have used a basic tool they carry to measure the oxygen saturation in Sterling?s blood. The paramedics spent six minutes with the dying man, taking his pulse and respiration and waving ammonia inhalant under his nose before leaving, the report said.

BIKERS’ PRAYER
As we go out on our ride,
We pray the Lord rides by our side,
Keep us safe and in your sight,
And let it rain some other night.

RUDY’S BUCKLES–Rudy made me a couple of buckles while in prison. He no longer had the resources to make more buckles but still has 50. They may look like shit in this photo but they are hot, professionally built, hand made quality buckles. If nothing else, do me a favor and drop him a line, a postcard or a couple of bucks.
If he can put the change together, he can make custom buckles and I’m honored to own one. Here’s his address: George (Rudy) Votteler, #86462, Unit CCC-17, P.O.Box 4020, Golden, Colorado 80401.
WHERE’S THE ESCAPE HATCH?–A couple of months ago I quit mentioning sex in the news for several reasons. Jealousy was one of them. If I mentioned one broad the others started squaking. The endeavor to keep the news G-rated, sorta, and let it fly in the Cantina was reason number two.
On top of the above, life around the headquarters had settled down. In other words Layla ran off the other broads. Coral split to New Orleans. Sin Wu worked hard at her education and since I was being a good guy, we didn’t see much of each other. Layla’s done a trememdous job at the headquarters and sorta took over. I swear, I’m an innocent bystander.
But I can smell spring in the air. Coral returned and took Layla to lunch last weekend. Sin Wu graduated from something and lured me out to meet her. The next thing I knew there was a For Sale sign in the front yard. I’m trying to piece all this shit together when I found out that my real estate agent, a good lookin’ broad, is the wife of a Hamster. Speaking of broads, they got me drunk and had me sign some papers regarding a piece of property on Broad Street. What the hell is going on? I retired, like in “slow down”. Now I’m living in boxes and more girls are running around the headquarters. Coral ignores me, a new brunette came in the door crying the other day and Sin Wu is calling. I shoulda escaped to Bike Week.
Ride Forever,
