Hey,
This is one of those mornings. I’m not sure which way to turn. It doesn’t really matter, any direction I go is damn exciting.
I’m in the process of wiring the Salt Torpedo. I need to add three Daca vents to the liner, but the body is almost done for now. I will also need to drill safety wiring holes, mount the new tach, you name it. We are very close and very close to not making it to Bonneville this year.
Sturgis is starting tomorrow and news is coming in from the road out. The cute little Easyriders French editor is coming to see me next week. Frankie went to MetalSport about his FXR front wheel yesterday and is coming to see me around his Dyna front wheel today.
See, I told you shit was happening fast.
Hell, James and Jeremiah rolled James’ Dyna in the shop yesterday while George “The Wild Brush and I worked on the canopy latch. They replaced his stock clutch with an extra plate Barnett clutch. We will bring you a report next week. Works like a champ, if you have upgraded your performance package.
I’m also working on three bike features for Bikernet Readers. Let’s hit the news:
The Bikernet Weekly News is sponsored in part by companies who also dig Freedom including: Cycle Source Magazine, the MRF, Las Vegas Bikefest, Iron Trader News, ChopperTown, BorntoRide.com and the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum. Most recently the Smoke Out and Quick Throttle Magazine came on board.

AUSTRALIAN CLUB NEWS–Well know Brisbane tattoo shop to close after firebombing.
A well-known and long standing Brisbane tattoo parlor that was firebombed earlier this year — sparking fears in the local media of an all-out biker war — has announced it will not reopen.
Koolsville Studios at Brendale, owned by high profile senior Rebels motorcycle club member ‘Little Mick’ Kosenko was smashed and set ablaze in early March amid (according to media) rising tensions between the Rebels and the Bandidos motorcycle club.
The firebombing followed the shooting and assault of Rebels member and former MMA fighter Gokhan ‘Pitbull’ Turkyilmaz at his Upper Coomera home.
That incident was seen by media as a revenge attack for the assault and shooting of a Bandidos associate at the Logan Hyperdome in February, allegedly at the hands of Rebels members, eight of whom were later arrested.
The tattoo studio was badly damaged in the firebombing. A fundraiser concert that was to be held in April was eventually vetoed by police.
Now, the studio has announced it will be closing permanently.
“It is with broken hearts that we write this post today,” Mr Kosenko’s partner Tracey posted last week on Facebook.
“After every possible attempt to save Koolsville Studios we have exhausted all options and today we have been forced to make the decision to close down. We have been given the timelines now and it is just unrealistic to try to rebuild.
“We are currently discussing our future options of opening a new store etc. Mick wants to continue tattooing, we just have to work on the how.”
Mr Kosenko, who had been continuing to tattoo beneath the damaged studio, will do his last ink work at the site on August 10.
The Kosenkos have also announced a fire sale of the entire contents of the studio and shop, including antique cash registers and even the stairs.
“It could be quite a few months before we know what the future holds,” Mrs Kosenko posted.
“Once again, we would like to thank all our dear friends that we have made over the years and thank you for the incredible ongoing support over the last few trying years.”
Rockford Fosgate Announces Partnership with Polaris— to Deliver Factory Installed Audio in 2020 Polaris General 1000 Deluxe
First factory-integrated premium sound system offered in the side-by-side (SxS) industry
Side-by-side (SxS) enthusiasts can now drive their new Polaris General off the show room floor while jamming to their favorite soundtrack playing through the Rockford Fosgate audio system purpose built for the off road.
Rockford Fosgate (www.rockfordfosgate.com), the industry leader in high-performance audio systems, is proud to announce that it has partnered with Polaris to deliver the first factory installed sound system specifically designed and tuned for off-road performance. It is the first of its kind offered by any manufacturer in the industry.
The Rockford Fosgate equipped 2020 General Deluxe models were unveiled to Polaris Dealers at their event on July 28th and will begin shipping to dealerships this August.
“Our team of designers here at Rockford are proud to be leading the way for the next generation of audio in off-road vehicles,” explained Jake Braaten, Rockford Vice President of New Product Development and Engineering. “It was a challenge to figure out the best solution to integrate premium sound into these models, but after optimizing the speakers and their locations, we knew that we could deliver an amazing sound experience in the General.”
The 2020 General will feature high efficiency Rockford Fosgate speakers designed for volume and clarity in the open-air environment. With Bluetooth streaming, Pandora control, and AM/FM, capabilities, drivers may choose any soundtrack for their adventure.
Additionally, Element Ready™ speakers housed in rugged, yet lightweight, enclosures acoustically enhance the passengers listening experience regardless of their seating position.
“In working with the team at Polaris we see that they are as passionate about off-road as we are about our music,” said Bill Jackson, Rockford CEO and President. “We both strive to deliver class leading products to enthusiasts of our brands, and I believe that the fact that Polaris recognized this opportunity to give their owners features they demand in vehicles fully equipped from the factory reinforces their position as a market leader.”

WILD FEATURE BIKE COMING FROM TERRY LOVERING–I finally finish up.
If I wasn’t such a perfectionist, I could get things done a lot sooner.
I mailed you a USB with 2 formats not knowing which one will keep the pictures a their best, one in a word program and the other in a PDF.
You said it didn’t matter how long or how many pictures. So, I did the creation of the bike from ground up.
I explained the themed bike & game “Dead Mobsters From The Fifties.”
Then I did an interview as if a third person was telling my story.
From the first Harley at 16 in 1968 and 16 bikes later the Consigliere.
I found pictures of 13 of those bikes I owned and tore apart and created something personal. I talked about hitting the streets at 15 after my single Mother died.
I talk about Biker Squad, “Bikers For Motion Pictures.” I talked about the three loves I have:
Harleys
Martial Arts
Working Out
And of course I talk about coming to L.A. and getting to spend time with you and Dave Mann.
There is a lot there. It really goes with the Gravestone Picture you published.
That was cool.
Well, you will get it in the next few days and you could do what you want it, run it chop it or just read it.
whatever you do, I thank you very much, you have always been good to me.
I don’t think I am the only person you treat this good, I think you treat everybody like this. You are just a Class Act and you made Easyriders what it was because of who you are.

MAVARTS NEWSLETTER–Well the 50th Anniversary of the San Diego Comic-Con has passed and this was my 27th appearance!
It was wonderful to, once again, exhibit my art alongside so many other innovative creatives in the industry where I have worked most of my career.
I’ve seen many changes in the last few decades and Comic-Con has gone from a ’nerds only’ event that was almost exclusively for the comic book collector to the largest pop-culture event in the U.S., made even more mainstream by Hollywood’s influence.
Superheroes, cosplay (dressing as your favorite character), blockbuster movies and all the products that go with it are now in every major store and cinema in the world and I for one am happy about it!
I grew up a ’Star Wars’ kid and I played Dungeons and Dragons (which made me a nerd) but now it is no longer Nerd Culture…it’s kind of what the Cool Kids are into… which is pretty awesome!
Of course the convention scene is now bustling with shows and filled with commercialism and lots of vendors just trying to get a piece of the pie for themselves, which I’m not so keen on, but that is just part of the world we live in and that makes for lots of well attended shows where I get the opportunity to show my art.
The level of art being created is high and the amount of fans coming to shows is even higher, so I guess I’ll keep doing my thing and head off to Gen Con this week which is America’s largest tabletop gaming show and hopefully meet more great fans and make Moore great memories! BAM!
PS – Thank you to all the new recipients of the newsletter many of which are friends, fans, fellow artists, publishers, industry shot callers and those that help freelancers like myself keep on keeping on!

PLEASE OPEN THE BANDIT’S CANTINA BAD JOKE LIBRARY–
A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with four young Mothers and their small children.
“You all have obsessions,” he observed.
To the first mother, Mary, he said, “You are obsessed with eating.
You’ve even named your daughter Candy.”
He turned to the second Mom, Ann: “Your obsession is with money.
Again, it manifests itself in your child’s name, Penny.”
He turned to the third Mom, Joyce: “Your obsession is alcohol. This too shows itself in your child’s name, Brandy.”
At this point, the fourth mother, Kathy, quietly got up, took her little boy by the hand and whispered, “Come on, Dick, this guy has no idea what he’s talking about. Let’s go pick up Peter and Willy from school and go get dinner.”

https://www.bikernet.com/pages/The_FAST_BIKERNET_WEEKLY_NEWS_for_July_25_2019.aspx
Just a thought regarding high visibility clothing. I drove 18-wheelers for many years. I was rear ended twice by women who did not see my trailer with 6 taillights and 12 marker lights and the turn signals blinking. I am pretty sure they would not see a motorcycle.

PEOPLE’S CHAMP FROM BILTWELL–People’s Champ, First Time’s a Charm
Mike at Old-Stf in Yuba City, CA is well-known in the custom bike building world as a humble, talented and hard-working guy that puts out clever bikes and parts from his home shop on a regular basis.
Like a lot of men, beside him is an intelligent, ass-kicking woman who isn’t afraid to do things on her own. When his wife Suzy decided to throw her hat in the ring and enter the People’s Champ competition, her and Mike both knew what she was in for. She’s obviously been around bikes and the shop of course, but before starting this project had never TIG-welded, used a mill or built a complete bike.
SALT TORPEDO WIRING–
We are scrambling to make it run, then we’ll see about Bonneville. I’m
starting the wiring. I have an 41804 coil and needed to get a factory connector.
Hey Bandit,
Best to use a 3-terminal coil, i.e. 31655-99
In your package was a ground strap and 8 metal sleeves. Are they designed to
go over the wires before they are crimped into your connector?
Bandit,
Yes, the wire-end ferrules, only 6 are needed. They are put over the wire
end and crimped with a suitable pliers. After that they are inserted into
the connector and screwed down.

AL GORE WAS PAID A BUNDLE TO SPEAK ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE IN AUSTRALIA–I didn’t even know he was here! However, a quick look on line showed he didn’t go over well.
It was expected a labour (Socialist) govt would be in power by the time he came but they lost. Badly.
Here’s one article on him.
Poor timing for Al Gore’s climate panic poppycock
In politics, timing is crucial. And thus, it was with the unfortunately timed participation of former US vice-president Al Gore in the Queensland government-sponsored Climate Week earlier this month.
According to the blurb, “Climate Week QLD 2019 will showcase how the state is transitioning to a low-carbon, clean-growth economy and building a community of action to address climate change.”
Occurring as it did after the unexpected victory of the Morrison government, Gore’s pronouncements during the week about the perils of climate change — let’s face it, he easily wins the gold medal in the boy-who-cried-wolf category when it comes to climate-induced apocalypses — were particularly jarring.
As for that photographed pose of Gore and Deputy Premier Jackie Trad cuddling up to each other, it’s probably best not to comment.
It would have been fun to be a fly on the wall when the planning for this gala week occurred. The expectation would have been that Labor would win the federal election, with the clear message that the public was demanding “real action on climate change” — so the motto goes. Reference would have been made to Bill Shorten’s plans to reduce emissions by 45 per cent by 2030 and for 50 per cent of electricity to be generated by renewable energy sources.
The Queensland government would endorse these targets while arguing for more ambitious ones. Reference would be made to the Palaszczuk government’s pledge for the state to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Without doubt, Big Al would be supportive.
Of course, the Great Barrier Reef would need to be a central part of the story. And the potential for the final rejection of the Adani coa; mine project would complete a very satisfactory week of positive, vote-winning news items for the Queensland government.
For the life of me, I can’t understand why anyone would give Gore the time of day. After all, he is not a trained scientist; he appears to make a living from concocting scary climate stories.
While he was in Queensland, he was offering up some more whoppers. Maybe he thought the appearance fee he received — estimated to be $320,000, paid for by Queensland taxpayers — necessitated the delivery of some sensational unsubstantiated claims.
To tell an audience that the choice is between Adani and the Great Barrier Reef is puerile and misinformed. To suggest that India is now sourcing 60 per cent of its electricity from renewable sources is just plain wrong — out by a factor of four to five. And these statements come on top of the many falsehoods Gore has peddled in the past. These include:
• In 2006, he claimed that the planet would reach a “point of no return” in 10 years.
• In the same year, he predicted that sea levels would rise by 20 feet (just over 6m) “in the near future”.
• In 2008, he claimed that the north polar cap would be completely ice-free within five years.
• In 2011, he claimed that polar bears would soon become close to extinction (their number has been rising).
Presumably, these faulty predictions were known to the organizing committee as well as to the key politicians — Annastacia Palaszczuk, Trad and Environment Minister Leeanne Enoch — who supported the shindig. But Gore is a name and his discredited propaganda doesn’t prevent him from being a regular invitee to the annual conferences of the parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Recall that the last one was held in Poland during a particularly cold weather snap.
So now that Gore has left town on his private jet — no doubt some sort of carbon offsets were arranged — state governments and the renewable energy industry, in particular, are in the process of reconsidering their approach to climate change and their interaction with the federal Coalition government.
There is no doubt that most of the renewable energy players were devastated by the May 18 election result. Their hopes, in descending order, were: Labor victory; defeat of Energy Minister Angus Taylor in his seat of Hume in NSW; and the appointment of anyone but Taylor as the next energy minister.
These hopes have been completely dashed.

THIS JUST IN FROM CLIMATE DEPOT—Green New Doomsday Deal Would Cost At Least $250K Per Household In First Five Years– The Green New Deal is economic insanity except that it would fulfill the United Nation’s long-held goal of completely destroying Capitalism and Free Enterprise. Out of the ashes, Technocracy will rise triumphant. — TN Editor
According to a new study, the Green New Deal’s implementation would cost the average American family a quarter of a million dollars during the first five years. The costs are even higher for Americans living in Alaska.
The study did not even take into account significant parts of the Green New Deal, since they are impossible to calculate. After all, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) hasn’t even introduced an actual bill, but only a resolution calling for future bills. It’s less a concrete plan and more a worldview statement justifying hundreds of future laws.
The study, jointly co-authored by the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) and Power the Future (PTF), analyzed the additional electricity demanded for various projects like decarbonizing the economy; the costs associated with shipping and logistics; the costs of new carbon-free vehicles; and the costs to retrofit every building in America. Just these four types of costs would add up to more than $250,000 per household in the first five years, a conservative estimate.
“The Green New Deal is a radical blueprint to de-carbonize the American economy by refashioning how we grow food, move people and goods, source and distribute electricity, and build the structures where we live, work, and play. Our analysis shows that, if implemented, the Green New Deal would cost for American households at least tens of thousands of dollars annually on a permanent basis,” CEI President and CEO Kent Lassman said in a statement.
“Perhaps that’s why exactly zero Senate Democrats, including the resolution’s 12 co-sponsors, voted for the Green New Deal when they had the chance,” he quipped.
“Economists and experts have been warning us for months about the devastating effects of the Green New Deal, and now we have the numbers to prove it,” PTF Executive Director Daniel Turner said in a statement. “This study only calculates a fraction of the cost of Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez’s radical plan, which amounts to a socialist free-for-all with no regard for the American taxpayer.”
“No family should be forced to pay tens of thousands of dollars in the first year alone to fund AOC’s ideological wishlist. Thankfully, Americans see through the Green New Deal and are beginning to fight back,” he added.
CEI and PTF analyzed the estimated costs for households in five states — Alaska, Florida, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania. In every state except Alaska, the Green New Deal would cost a typical household more than $70,000 in the first year of implementation, approximately $45,000 for each of the next four years (adding up to $250,000 for the first five years), and more than $37,000 each year after that. In Alaska, the average family would pay more than $100,000 in the first year, $73,000 for the next four years, and more than $67,000 each year afterward.
“Most provisions of the GND are so broad and open-ended that the list of potential programs necessary to implement the program is limited by the capacity of legislators to imagine a new government program,” the study notes. “Therefore, it is impossible to calculate the whole or maximum cost of the GND. However, other parts of the GND are more precise, sufficiently so that an approximate minimum cost estimate is available.”

MOTORCYCLE Attorney Michael Hupy Receives Award at Wisconsin Law Journal’s 2019 Diversity in Business Ceremony— The personal injury law firm of Hupy and Abraham, S.C. is proud to announce that firm president, Attorney Michael Hupy, was honored at the 2019 Wisconsin Law Journal’s “Diversity in Business” Awards, which took place on July 25, 2019, at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There were twelve other honorees at this year’s event.
For the past three years, the Wisconsin Law Journal has honored local business owners and companies for their dedication to diversity and inclusion across the state. For decades, Attorney Hupy has been a consistent promoter and participant of equal opportunities for his employees and the community.
Through several avenues, Attorney Hupy has demonstrated his commitment to diversity, both professionally and personally. For his law firm, he strives to ensure that it is a safe space for employees to feel comfortable and respected in the workplace, regardless of color, creed, gender identity, sexual orientation or any other minority group. He also emphasizes the importance of the roots of the law firm, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2019. Hupy and Abraham traces its roots to the 1960s with Attorney Lloyd Barbee, who was an influential lawyer and activist known for starting the Milwaukee Public Schools Integration Lawsuit.
The 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award Winner was Justice Louis Butler, the first black man to serve on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Justice Butler’s remarks focused on passion and reminding how vital inclusion and representation are for future generations. As one of the evening’s honorees, Attorney Hupy was lauded for using his business successes and passion for others to help however he can.
Hupy and Abraham has provided over $100,000 in scholarship funds to the NAACP of Milwaukee. The NAACP has awarded the firm with Milwaukee’s “Martin Luther King Jr. Award” for its commitment to civil rights. Attorney Hupy has received several community awards acknowledging his service, from the Milwaukee Community Journal and the Salvation Army Chaplaincy Program. In 2015, he received the Distinguished Service Award from the Milwaukee Bar Association.
As a modern activist, Attorney Hupy has fought for all citizens, through safety campaigns and programs to keep Milwaukee streets safe, such as the “Gun Buy Back Program.” Attorney Hupy is a principal benefactor for the Milwaukee Justice Center, which helps the disadvantaged with legal services they otherwise could not afford. Since its beginning, he has been an integral part of the organization’s development and operations. Other legal nonprofits he supports include the Wisconsin Equal Justice Fund, Legal Aid Society and Centro Legal.
Attorney Hupy has always been a champion for the marginalized. He has consistently shown how he has and continues to make a difference in the community. Hupy and Abraham would like to congratulate Attorney Hupy on this new accolade.
Former Award-Winning NOAA scientist Dr. Rex Fleming declares his climate dissent – Converted from warmist to skeptic – Reveals suppression: ‘I had to go to Europe to publish a paper’
Former NOAA Award-Winning Atmospheric Scientist Dr. Rex Fleming joins many former UN IPCC and U.S. government scientists publicly dissenting on man-made climate change. Fleming declares that “CO2 has no impact on climate change.”
“Past climates have been warm and cold and warm and cold with no changes in carbon dioxide. How can that be a cause when there’s no correlation.”
Fleming 8:10 on AMS, AGU, AAAS: “all 3 of those organizations will not support a “denier”..I could not get published in any of those organizations..as a denier..I had to go to Europe to publish a paper..it was peer-reviewed in Europe, it got thru, & it has been very successful”
