HAPPY SUNDAY–I hope your weekends been free from dressing 80?s style and lost Hamsters. Here?s a quick Sunday Post for you.
Tribal Iron Custom’s New Dualie Swing Arm
You say you need a fatter rear wheel set up?
How about a new Dualie rear wheel set up? That’s right, a Dualie for your bike!
Tribal Iron Customs of Fairlawn, NJ has come up with a new patent pending rear dual wheel swing arm set up that will bolt right onto your existing or new build bike. With Tribal Iron’s new Dualie set up, you can forget about your kick stand as the bike will sit upright all on it’s own. The newly designed set up can be run with any sized rear tires up to the new 330 series. That’s right, TWO 330 wheels!
Eric at Tribal Iron will also have 80 spoke rims available soon for those 330’s as well. For the rider that needs a little more balance when stopped, this is the perfect alternative to a cumbersome trike.
The swing arm features a new internal dual chain drive set up hidden between the two rear wheels. It rides like a conventional 2-wheeled bike. When you lean into a turn, the outer wheel lifts off the ground so you can cut those corners like a racer. When you’re running on a straight away, you have the power of two driven rear wheels.
We’ll have a full feature for you soon but in the mean time you can get more information by contacting Eric at Tribal Iron Customs at

OF SEX, CHURCH AND PANCAKES
Teen age sex:
The mother of a 17-year-old girl was concerned that her daughter was having sex. Worried the girl might become pregnant and adversely impact the family’s status, she consulted the family doctor. The doctor told her that teenagers today were very willful and any attempt to stop the girl would probably result in rebellion. He then told her to arrange for her daughter to be put on birth control and until then, talk to her and give her a box of condoms. Later that evening, as her daughter was preparing for a date, the woman Told her about the situation and handed her a box of condoms. The girl burst out laughing and reached over to hug her mother saying:
“Oh Mom! You don’t have to worry about that! I’m dating Susan!”
………………………………….
Church:
A man went to church one day and afterward he stopped to shake the preacher’s hand. He said “Preacher, I’ll tell you, that was a damned fine sermon.
Damned good!”
The preacher said, “Thank you sir, but I’d rather you didn’t use profanity.”
The man said, “I was so damned impressed with that sermon I put five thousand dollars in the offering plate!”
The preacher said, “No shit?”

Pancakes:
Brenda and Steve took their six-year-old son to the doctor. With some hesitation, they explained that although their little angel appeared to be in good health, they were concerned about his rather small penis.
After examining the child, the doctor confidently declared, “Just feed him pancakes. That should solve the problem.”
The next morning when the boy arrived at breakfast, there was a large stack of warm pancakes in the middle of the table.
“Gee, Mom,” he exclaimed. “For me?”
“Just take two,” Brenda replied. “The rest are for your father.”
Now that’s what I call gas grillin….

Rider Education: Carnage in California
California’s motorcycle safety instructors and training site managers are appealing for immediate help from the motorcycling community. In October 2004 the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) moved to terminate the training contract of the Motorcycle Training Center (MTC) in Los Angeles. MTC has provided training at multiple sites for years. This attempt was foiled partly by reaction from the riding community.
On January 1, 2005, MSF terminated the contracts for four separate training sites in the San Francisco area with a two day notice sent over the holiday weekend. The site manager, James LaBarbera was a vocal critic of the MSF curriculum and their program management. The California Motorcycle Safety Program (CMSP) program manager Rob Gladden charged LaBarbera with “serious safety violations” including dead batteries, bald tires and faulty helmet liners. Further investigation revealed one dead battery on a bike not in use, a ” bald tire” on a motorcycle that a MSF representative refused to examine, and sanitary paper helmet liners used by medical professionals everyday. Helmet liners are not required by CMSP policies. As of January 26th, the San Francisco sites are not in operation. Mr. LaBabera had been providing training in San Francisco for decades.
The MRF has received numerous reports of QAV (Quality Assurance Visits) by Dr. Sherry Williams, or her designees in California. Dr. Williams, a recent graduate of the novice riding class, with no instructional experience, is the MSF Director of Quality Assurance. Site managers and instructors (rider coaches) report than unlike site visits conducted by the previous program management, current visits do not focus on improving the quality of instruction.
“The truth of what researcher Harry Hurt said in this month’s Motorcycle Consumer News interview is being played out in California,” said a site manager who asked to remain anonymous fearing MSF reprisal.
“What we need from the MSF and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) we are not getting,” said another administrator. “Already this year many of the top instructors in the field have left in disgust. Everyone who knows someone who rides a motorcycle should be concerned about what MSF is doing in California. We’re sounding the alarm. Call your state representatives. Alert the governor.”
“ABATE of California is aware and concerned about the situation,” stated Jean Hughes, Legislative Director, ABATE of California. “ABATE encourages California motorcyclists to look into the status of rider training in their local areas.”
California site providers and instructors are asking motorcyclists to contact the Governor’s Office and appeal for an investigation into both the management of the California Motorcycle Safety Program; and an accurate assessment of rider training in California.

Ultimate Blond Joke
A blonde woman was speeding down the road in her little red sports car and was pulled over by a woman police officer, who was also a blonde. The cop asked to see the blonde’s driver’s license. She dug through her purse and was getting progressively more agitated. “What does it look like?” she finally asked. The policewoman replied, “It’s square and it has your picture on it.” The driver finally found a square mirror, looked at it and handed it to the policewoman. “Here it is,” she said. The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then handed it back saying, “Okay, you can go. I didn’t realize you were a cop.”

MALL OF AMERICA
With the high rate of attacks on women in secluded parking lots, especially during evening hours, the MinneapolisCity Council has established a “Women Only” parking lot at the Mall of America.
Even the parking lot attendants are exclusively female so that a comfortable and safe environment is created for patrons.
Below is the first picture available of this world-first women-only parking lot in Minnesota.

Back To The 80?s & Hamsters,I went to an 80?s theme party last night and had one hell of a time trying to find something to wear. I checked out a vintage clothes shop, she had lots of stuff, but everything was so ugly. I cruised over to the Goodwill and found an East Coast 80?s stonewash jean dress. What the hell were we thinking back then? Can you say UCKING FUGLY? The party itself was a blast, but I had to get outta there just to get out of that dress, so I was home in bed by 9:00pm.
Hamsters, not the rich, billet barge type, but the cute and furry type. We have two that fight like hell every night to get out of their cage. Last night they succeeded. As I lay in bed trying to sleep, I kept hearing a scratching noise in the closet. Even my cat sat there looking at the location of the noise. Turns out the Hamster crawled in to an opening in the wall and was between plywood and drywall. My son had to cut two holes about 5? x 8? in to the drywall to reach in and save the creature. The other is still MIA.
So much for my wild weekend while Bandit is away. Next week Bandit will be back in his chair commenting on all the exciting shit that happens to him during the week. Until then, have a good one.
