DAVIE ALLAN ROCKS–A show is brewing at “Mr. T’s” for May 24th. It’s with Sky Saxon & The Seeds. If it happens, more deja vu: we were on the same bill on a show during my 1967 nationwide tour.
HA LEATHER–BIKERNET TAKES GIANT STEP FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE–Buying clothes mail order is a risky pain in the ass. It’s convenient unless you don’t receive the size you need. Especially in the case of leather, when that UPS driver delivers your new best, the bastard should fit you like a glove. We here at Biker Net with the artistic assistance of Jon Towle have developed a comfortable process of taking measurements for more accurate, safe and comfortable ordering. Just take the measurements and include them in your order and you’re guaranteed that you’ll get what you need.
If HA is completely confused by your measurements and order, they will contact you to prevent shipping the wrong size. So not only are they carefully manufacturing the best leather line on the market, but they have the service to back it up and insure you get the piece you order the first time.
BIKERNET LITERARY DEPARTMENT–We currently have a short stack of books on the table to be reviewed for our readers. The first one will be Sonny’s news book of Road Tales. A book based on the archive of wild wanton tales of the old school biker.His last book hit the New York best sellers list and for all biker book writers I hope that this one does also. Watch for it at all book stores, bike shops and for Sonny to be signing books at upcoming events.Watch for a review of his book on Bikernet in the next couple of weeks.
FROM THE POLISH ARCHIVES–Did you hear about the Polish Navy’s tragic accident?A hundred and thirty-seven sailors drowned trying to push-start their new submarine.
If you like Submarine stories, I recently read a book about the development of Submarines before WWII. Did you know that before 1940 there was virtually no way to rescue men in downed subs. They either drowned or slowly died of carbon monoxide poisoning. The book was written about the man who developed the diving bell and saved the crew of a brand new sub that went down in over 100 feet of water. The book, The Terrible Hours, by Peter Maas is tribute to the man behind the greatest submarine rescue in history.
CYRIL HUZE SPIKE LIGHT–What says more chopper than a spike shape? The style will take you back, but the 2-function bulb or strong L.E.D. these small lights are housing is hardly yesterday’s news. These lights will turn heads well before you even make turns. Red or Amber lens. Show polished billet aluminum.
Cyril Huze RUN TO THE WALL REPORT–The Run To The Wall, on Memorial Day is a great run. Everyone starts arriving from out oftown on Friday. All the shops in the area have parties and Open Houses onSaturday. Sunday morning the run organizes at the Pentagon parking lot. Thenumber of bikes that gather there is huge. The parade usually starts at noonat it last close to three hours. The streets of Wash. D.C. are lined with peopleon both sides waving and cheering. The wall itself is what the run is allabout, rather the names on the wall, you can not imagine the number of nameson that wall until you see it. It really numbs you for a few seconds. I havebeen to this event probably at least 10 times and everytime I go I come awaywith a new appreciation for all those who gave all they had for our freedom. –Mike Pullin There is a new biker tradition beginning this summer in the USA!!!!!

Weaver BIKERNET JAMAICAN REPORT–Hey, I just returned from Jamaica, beautiful island, but some really shit roads, and not an H-D in sight, nothing even close.Although the Jamaicans do see a marketing opportunity did see tons of H-D shirts with “Jamaica” under the bar and shield. Sure there is “bikers” all on them damn crotch rockets(I really hate that term). –Jef BIKERNET ONE LINERS–4. My mind works like lightning. One brilliant flash and it is gone.5. The only time the world beats a path to your door is if you’re in thebathroom.6. I hate sex in the movies. Tried it once, the seat folded up, thedrinkspilled and that ice, well it really chilled the mood.
