Hollister Sunday,
We just blasted back from Hollister, about 350 miles to bring you the Sunday Post on Sunday. Fuckin’ amazing, right? Let me tell you how it went. We were supposed to roll outta here on Thursday. Didn’t happen, so we shot for Friday at the crack of dawn. No way. About 9:00 p.m. Friday, we felt the pressure to bolt, threw the shit in the back of the pickup with the Salt Shaker and hit the bricks.
We jammed into the night and reached Gilroy at 1:00 a.m. That was just the beginning. Seth Doulton, the Promotor of the entire Hollister 60th anniversary extravaganza was waiting at the hotel reception. “Just wanted to make sure you made it,” Seth said and passed out. We sent him on his way and checked in. I’ll pour my soul all over the internet at the end, but let’s hit the news. We’re burnin’ daylight.
THE BLONDE SPEEDING TICKET A police officer stops a blonde for speeding and asks her very nicely if he could see her license.
She replied in a huff, “I wish you guys would get your act together. Just yesterday you take away my license and then today you expect me to show it to you!”

PHYSICAL FITNESS ADVICE FROM BIKERNET REPORTER–I have decided to be more physically active. Beginning this weekend, I will ride 5 miles every day. If any of you would like to join my Bike Club, please let me Know and we can make arrangements.
I think it would be appropriate to ride somewhere between 4:00 and 7:00 PM. We can call it happy hour, if it will make you say yes.
I have enclosed a photo of my bike.

BIKERNET STAFF INVESTIGATION– Little Johnny attended a horse auction with his father, Renegade, from the staff of Bikernet. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse’s legs and rump, and chest.
After a few minutes, Johnny asked, “Dad, why are you doing that?” His father replied, “Because when I’m buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy.
Johnny, looking worried, said, “Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy Mom.”

QUICK HOLLISTER REPORT– Taking a quick break. I hope you and all are well. I went to Hollister this past weekend. Quite a bit of prep work going on. I saw a painter doing a mural on side of Johnny’s Bar.
Cool, but I thought he should put Lee Marvin on the wall instead of Brando. I told him he should come back finish it up with a smile. He just laughed. The mural is cool though. I’m glad to see you will be coming in and I’m going to take a few days off. I need a break, from everything. By the way, it is going to be hotter than shit out there.
Hope to see you out there! Bring the Posse!

We roll out of bed at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday and jammed to Hollister, 15 miles up the road from the Garlic Capitol. We slipped right on Monterey street into Baker’s Corner, for Baker transmission. It was the lot designated for the builders including Tom Foster, Superco, Scott Long, Todd, Chica, Kevin Brooks of Thunder Mountain Motor Sports, the boys from Vegas Customs and Troll Cycles. I’m sure I missed someone, but it was a helluva group. I was immediately loaned a ramp, we dropped the Salt Shaker onto the asphalt and set up a tent. The first thing I noticed was the excessive police presence. A helicopter buzzed overhead constantly and gangs of cops, all six-officer strong, with parole and probation officers dressed in swat gear, roamed the streets. Rumor has it that the police extorted $300,000 from the city of Hollister, or they couldn’t have the event. We’ll bring you more on the story this week. While Nyla watched the tent and sold t-shirts I ducked out for Breakfast with Trev Superco and Tom Foster, then hit it back into the booth until noon when Hiwayman showed with his wife and relieved the watch. Nyla and I hustled through the jammed downtown area and grabbed lunch. We manned the booth until 4:00, then I was interviewed on stage by Charlie Brechtel and his band, Thumper and the 777 partner. We partied, did shots of Jack, then I rolled the Salt Shaker off the stage and back to the booth. The wind kicked up and started tearing the nails holding the tent to the pavement. We packed our shit in the truck, loaded the Shaker and drove to John Reeds home in the hills behind Custom Chrome, in Morgan Hill. We spent the night discussing old English pennys, lathes, dynos, guns and V-bikes. We peeled back to our hotel, checked in with Mike Lichter, and crashed in our room, no his. The next morning we were up and on the road back to Los Angeles. Never a dull moment. Tomorrow I may pick up a front end for the Assalt Weapan and we’ll shoot for all elements out to paint by the end of the week. Pray for surf. Ride Forever, –Bandit
