SUNDAY POST–GRATUITOUS SEX AND VIOLENCE OUT
I was told recently by the associate editor of a motorcycle magazine that I should leave the sex and violence out of tech features. What do you think? After I’m finished with the Post, I will ride to the mountains where the air is fresh with the scent of pine needles and I’ll ponder life and women, motorcycles and women, and ambition and women. Let’s get to the news.

Logo with shadow

Here’s the new logo with a drop shadow added by Helen Wolfe, our drag racing editor. She’s going to put together some business cards for her lovely self, Jon Towle and the Digital Gangster. She’s also going to create a couple of T-shirts using Cantina artwork.

Speaking of T-shirts, Paul Morris of Ventura, Calif., won the Cantina door prize for the week — a Bandit autographed 2X Bikernet T-shirt. We’ll throw some other shit in with it as a bonus. Congratulations Paul.

Don’t forget to enter the door prize contest.

Little Johnny was sitting on a park bench munching on one candy bar after another. After the sixth one, a man on the bench across from him said, “Son, you know eating all that candy isn’t good for you. It will give you acne, rot your teeth, make you fat.”

Little Johnny replied, “My grandfather lived to be 107 years old.”

The man asked, “Did your grandfather eat six candy bars at a time?”

Little Johnny answered, “No, he minded his own fucking business!”

Not Sure?

Watch a world class custom come together in the free section of Bikernet. Cyril Huze is building a bike weekly on the site, and his bikes are works of art. Check it out. ?

How much room does a Pro Stock Harley-Davidson team NEED?? Bill and Theresa Hannon, proud owners of Hannon Racing, Ft. Myers Beach, Fla., needed a little room to grow. Scott Fischer, owner of Harley-Davidson of Ft. Myers, Fla., agreed?and as of last week, Hannon’s world record-holding Pro Stock Harley-Davidson can stretch out and breathe a little easier. ?

Hannon’s Harley-Davidson now resides in the service department and the entire road rig ?(Ford truck with a 48-foot trailer) are spared the elements, now stored indoors at Florida’s newest, deluxe, 45,000-square- foot dealership at 2160 Colonial Blvd.

Calendar Show shot

Brain Joke

A man’s brain, in case you didn’t know.

A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers. The first one shouted, “Nobody move!”

When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.

It’s summer and time to get cool with some of the hottest shirts on the planet. That’s our own line of DragonFly shirts, sold securely right here at Bikernet in the Gulch. Check ’em out. We don’t charge postage and handling and keep the price to a minimum. And the shots of the girls aren’t half bad.

In ancient England, a person could not have sex unless they had consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family). When anyone wanted to have a baby, they got consent of the King, the King gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex. The placard had F.*.*.*. (Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it.

Now you know where that came from.

They seem to be dropping like flies. Titan, Quantum, Big-X, Boar, Wild West, American Eagle, and I just heard that Ultra filed Chapter 11 too.

The news with the flooring companies is that Indian is about to do the 11 dance too. The stockmarket hit a shitload of these guys that over predicted the amount of demand for alternative bikes and they just could not sustain the overhead. We almost did a move to a bigger facility last November and put on the brakes. Good thing, at least we’ll be standing when the dust settles.

That’s it. I must now ride the touring chopper into the hills to ponder the meaning of life. Then I’ll ride to the nearest bar and have a couple drinks to try to change my mind. Have a helluva week, and don’t ever change.–Bandit
