Happy Sunday people! It?s really quiet here at the headquarters, with Bandit still in Vegas. Just the cats to keep me company. I decided to do the Sunday Post myself, rather than make you wait till Bandit got home this evening. I figured he?d be pretty tired from being on his feet all day and then that looong flight of one whole hour home. Really, I didn?t want to make you wait.

It?s a quickie Post, just a little news, T&A and snow from Bob T. As you?ll see, it snowed last night in Yucca Valley, Ca. It rained here in Wilmas, and Bandit said it rained in Vegas as well. Time to unpack the winter gear; it?s here.

AND THIS IS HOW SHIT HAPPENS–

In the Beginning was The Plan And then came the Assumptions. And the Assumptions were without form And the Plan was completely without substance. And the darkness was upon the face of the workers. And they spoke among themselves, saying? It is a crock of shit, and it stinketh.” And the workers went unto their Supervisors and sayeth,” It is a pail of dung and none may abide the odor thereof.? And the Supervisors went unto their Managers and sayeth unto them, “It is a container of excrement and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it.” And the Managers went unto their Directors and sayeth, “It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength.” And the Directors spoke amongst themselves, saying to one another, “It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong.” And the Directors went unto the Vice Presidents and sayeth unto them, “It promotes growth and is exceedingly powerful.” And the Vice Presidents went unto the President and sayeth onto him, “This new plan will actively promote the growth and efficiency of this Company, and these Areas in particular.” And the President looked upon The Plan, And saw that it was good, and The Plan became Policy. And this is how Shit happens.

New American Motorcycles ? DAM–

Hi Guys, I found a new manufacturer who is building factory street fighters using the Indian Engines. They are D.A.M. (Delaware American Motorcycles) out of Wayne New Jersey. I was impressed with the new design and the bike is ready to go out the door for under $40,000. Here are a few quick shots I took at a show I found them at.

This is from Canada but we can expect the same to be tried here. ROGUE

So you think the “Anti-Gang” Laws don’t apply to all Canadians, think again

Canada’s new anti-gang laws have provisions that directly threaten all innocent Canadians, and it clearly states YOU can be convicted without the government proving a thing. This draconian law, passed by members of parliment who admit they never even read it, is surreal.

467.11 (1) Every person who, for the purpose of enhancing the ability of a criminal organization to facilitate or commit an indictable offence under this or any other Act of Parliament, knowingly, by act or omission, participates in or contributes to any activity of the criminal organization is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years. Prosecution
(2) In a prosecution for an offence under subsection (1), it is not necessary for the prosecutor to prove that
(a) the criminal organization actually facilitated or committed an indictable offence;
(b) the participation or contribution of the accused actually enhanced the ability of the criminal organization to facilitate or commit an indictable offence;
(c) the accused knew the specific nature of any indictable offence that may have been facilitated or committed by the criminal organization; or
(d) the accused knew the identity of any of the persons who constitute the criminal organization.

Get educated before you get…

What this means is the Police could see you delivering firewood, or shovelling snow, or buying a T Shirt, and you are guilty and on your way to prison. More than likely they would just threaten to destroy your life if you don’t do exactly what they tell you. Like wearing a wire and trying to buy a gun, or some other well-known scam. In any case, the fact that you helped someone on their secret list, without knowing about or committing any illegal act, makes you guilty of an offence under the legislation, and liable to five years in prison.

This outrageous law disposes of the two mainstays that British common law and its decendant, Canadian Law were built on. Firstly, that a crime has been committed, secondly, that the accused knew and intended to commit the crime. Neither of these two requirements is required.

If the Government’s intention was the ability to railroad innocent people, and make every Canadian shudder at the sight of a cop, they should be very happy. If the site of the Biker Enforcement Unit at your door doesn’t worry you, it should.

Being innocent, doesn’t mean a thing.

POW Documentary–

Below is what many have been waiting for. It is the full 42-minute documentary put together by the Vietnam POW’s. Because all of the threats directed toward the Sinclair network by Democratic senators, the Kerry campaign, and various companies including Burger King, Sinclair has announced that only a part of this tape will be shown on television. However, the POW’s are making it available for everyone to view via the Internet without charge. Here is the web site where the full 42-minute tape may be viewed on the web free:

GUN CONTROL

As if there was any doubt. No rational person can argue in favor of gun control. If you don’t buy that read “More Guns – Less Crime” or “TheBias Against Guns” by John Lott. The statistics just don’t support it. (unlessof course your definition of gun control means “hitting your target”)

Lock and Load

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

——————————————————–

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

——————————————————–

Germany established gun control in 1938. From 1939 to 1945, 13 million Jews and others, who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

——————————————————–

China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

——————————————————–

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

——————————————————–

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

——————————————————–

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million “educated” people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

——————————————————–

Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.

It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.

The first year results are now in:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent!)
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. (Note that, while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!)

While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed. There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in “successfully ridding Australian society of guns.” The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.

You won’t see this data on the American evening news or hear our president, governors or other politicians disseminating this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Take note my fellow Americans……before it’s too late!

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.

With guns, we are citizens. Without them, we are subjects. Redhorse

Women over 30

Andy Rooney says: As I grow in age, I value women who are over 30 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 30 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, “What are you thinking?” She doesn’t care what you think.

If a woman over 30 doesn’t want to watch the game, she doesn’t sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it’s usually something more interesting.

A woman over 30 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 30 give a damn what you might think about her or what she’s doing.

Women over 30 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won’t hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it’s like to be unappreciated.

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 30 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest. They’ll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one! You don’t ever have to wonder where you stand with her. Yes, we praise women over 30 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it’s not reciprocal.

For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 30+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.

For all those men who say, “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free”. Here’s an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage…

Ringing In The Ears

After a whole day on the road, riding at high speed, three bikers finally arrive at their destination for the night, their ears ringing from the wind noise.

First one says, “Windy isn’t it?”.

Second one says, “No, its Thursday.”

Third one says, “So am I! Let’s go get a beer.”

AIS Defines Ignition Technology For The Future

It’s the definite future in ignition technology! Spyke’s Fully Programmable (FP) Acculight Ignition System (AIS) uses optical sensors for extreme spark stability and produces up to three sparks per compression stroke that are precisely and individually timed per custom programming. Coil saturation can be set to different values at different RPM’s. Spyke has built in an adjustable rev limit that can be different for all curves. It also features two separate RPM activated switches with variable on/off RPM settings that can have different values for all sensor states-for use with nitrous or auto-shifting.

By utilizing these new technologies, the FP module allows each engine to be precisely tuned for maximum horsepower, torque, combustion and fuel efficiency. AIS is easily programmed by an authorized dealer utilizing a PC, AIS Software and a Program Link Package. It is preset with four fully changeable advance curves. The AIS also has a tachometer output for almost any tach including automotive tachs. It features automatic coil shutoff and a precision stainless steel rotor for strength and reliability.

The AIS Stand Alone (SA) model has many of the same features as the FP, with four preset curves and no brainbox for simplified installation.

From Ray R.

WHY AM I SO TIRED???

For a couple years I’ve been blaming it on lack of sleep, not enough sunshine, too much pressure from my job, earwax build-up, poor blood or anything else I could think of.

But now I found out the real reason:

I’m tired because I’m overworked.

Here’s why:

The population of this country is 273 million.

140 million are retired.

That leaves 133 million to do the work.

There are 85 million in school.

Which leaves 48 million to do the work.

Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government.

Leaving 19 million to do the work.

2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Saddam Hussein.

Which leaves 16.2 million to do the work.

Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for state and city governments.

And that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.

At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals.

Leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.

Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.

That leaves just two people to do the work.

You and me.

And there you are sitting on your ass, at your computer, reading jokes.

Nice, real nice.
