What can I say. It’s hot as the hubs of hell today. Reminds me of the Carolinas last month and the Run For Breath–100 degrees and 100 percent humidity. It’s noon and I’m sipping a Bloody Mary and wondering what the hell I should be doing. I know there’s a list somewhere. I’m trying to wrap up our complete Sturgis saga. There’s some wild shit coming out.
Let’s get to it, but first I need to mention last night. It was one of those days yesterday, when you’re trapped doing household shit, but we made a few bucks so we hit the local Sushi bar to celebrate. That’s when she started whispering to me what magic the bedroom might hold once we rolled in. The night was warm, her skin was soft and supple and she rocked to every touch. I swear riding motorcycles are the ultimate freedom and sex the ultimate luxury. Let’s get to it:
US Considered ‘Suicide Jet Missions’
US Air Force commanders considered crashing fighter jets into hijacked planes on 11 September because of a lack of armed planes, a BBC investigation reveals.
In the immediate aftermath of the terror attacks US fighter planes took to the skies to defend America from any further attacks. It was very possible that they [US pilots] would have been asked to give their lives themselves.
Colonel Robert Marr Their mission was to protect President George W Bush and to intercept any hijacked aircraft heading to other targets in the US. But, as a new BBC programme Clear The Skies reveals, the threat of an attack from within America had been considered so small that the entire US mainland was being defended by only 14 planes.
As a result unarmed planes were diverted from training missions in a desperate bid to increase the number of fighter planes patrolling American airspace. Colonel Robert Marr was Commander of the North East Defence Sector and remembers the words that came over the secure phone “we will take lives in the air to preserve lives on the ground”.

Quebec Hells Angels Trial To Start All Over Again
By Marcia Lacombe
MONTREAL (Reuters) – The murder and drugs trial of 17 alleged members of the Hells Angels biker gang collapsed Wednesday after four laborious months as a new judge ordered a new hearing with a new jury.
The trial was thrown into limbo three weeks ago when the first judge, Jean-Guy Boilard, resigned because he felt he no longer had the moral authority to continue after a reprimand from the Canadian Judge Council over comments to a defense lawyer in another biker trial.
“The court orders that the trial in the present case be started again (and) that the jurors be released,” Quebec Superior Court Judge Pierre Beliveau told the court.
Most of the jurors, who had earlier complained about likely delays in the hearing, responded with smiles and sighs of relief. The court had already heard from some 113 witness and examined more than 1,100 pieces of evidence when Boilard resigned.
The trial gave an unprecedented look at the bikers’ world. Prosecution showed police surveillance video of bikers meetings in hotel conference room, where they could be heard talking about issues from the expansion of their drug turf to more down-to-earth topics like problems with their wives.
The trial was a key part of a drive to end a bloody 10-year-old turf war for Quebec’s lucrative drug and prostitution markets between the Hells Angels and their archrival, the Rock Machine.
The 17 bikers were charged with various murder and drug trafficking offences related to their fight with the Rock Machine. Car bombs, daylight shootings and other acts of violence have left about 170 people dead since 1994. They also face charge for gangsterism under a new Canadian law making it illegal to belong to a criminal organization.

Natalie
The madam opened the brothel door to see a rather slick looking, well-dressed, gentleman. “Can I help you?” the madam asked.
“I want to see Natalie,” the gentleman replied.
“Sir, Natalie is one of our most expensive ladies, perhaps someone else…”
“No, I must see Natalie.”
Just then Natalie appeared and announced to the man that she charges $1000.00 per visit. Without blinking, the man reached into his pocket and handed her ten $100 bills. The two went up to a room for an hour, whereupon the man calmly left.
The next night he appeared again demanding to see Natalie. Natalie explained that is was very rare for anyone to come back two nights in a row and that there were no discounts … it was still $1000.00 a visit. Again the man took out the money, the two went up to the room, and an hour later, he left.
When he showed up the third consecutive night, no one could believe it. Again he handed Natalie the money and up to the room they went. At the end of the hour Natalie questioned the man: “No one has ever used my services three nights in a row. Where are you from?” The gentleman replied,
“I’m from Peoria.”
“Really?” replied Natalie. “I have family who lives there.”
“Yes, I know,” said the gentleman. “Your father died and I’m your sister’s attorney. She asked me to give you your $3000 inheritance.”

Something About Army Grunt
An Army grunt stands in the rain with a 35 lb. pack on his back, 15-LB. weapon in hand, after having marched 12-miles, and says, “This is crap.”
An Army Airborne Ranger stands in the rain with a 45-lb. pack on his back weapon in hand, after having jumped from an airplane and marched 18-miles, and says with a smile, “This is good crap!”
A Navy Seal lies in the mud, 55-lb pack on his back, weapon in hand, after swimming 10-miles to shore, crawling through a swamp and marching 25-miles at night past the enemy positions, says with a grin, “This really is great crap.”
A Marine, up to his nose in the stinking, bug-infested mud of a swamp with a 65-lb pack on his back and a weapon in both hands after jumping from an aircraft at high altitude, into the ocean, swimming 12-miles to the shore, killing several alligators to enter the swamp, then crawling 30-miles through the brush to assault an enemy camp, says, “I love this crap!”
An Air Force officer sits in an easy chair in his air conditioned, carpeted VIP room and says, “The cable’s out? What kind of crap is this?”

2002 Darwin Awards
A 22-year-old, Glade Drive, Reston, VA, man was found dead after he tried to use octopus straps to bungee jump off a 70-foot railroad trestle. Fairfax County police said Eric Barcia, a fast-food worker, taped a bunch of these straps together, wrapped one end around one foot, anchored the other end to the trestle at Lake Accotink Park, jumped and hit the pavement. Warren Carmichael, a police spokesman, said investigators think Barcia was alone because his car was found nearby. “The length of the cord that he had assembled was greater than the distance between the trestle and the ground,” Carmichael said. Police say the apparent cause of death was “Major trauma”.
That’s All I know– We have a new sponsor on board for Powdercoating. Check the home page. I use powder as much as possible. I’m working away from chrome and handling all my pipes with Jet Hot from Engineered Applications in Vernon, California. They can spray your pipes or manifold in silver or black and it will never change.
I’m working on a Road King right now and will switch many of the parts from chrome to powdercoat- black. Watch in the next couple of weeks as we start on this puppy.
Okay, time to ride or deal with the smoldering garage. I’ve got a Buell surprise for you guys next week. Have a cold Corona this afternoon and ride over to her house and share the sweat. Remember every second of her touch. It just doesn’t get any better.
