No bullshit. I just received a call from Wino Joe. Seems the Booze Fighters now own the old Hollister police chief’s pad from ’49, and they’re inviting me to stay there over the 4th. I’m honored. I recently interviewed the oldest living Booze Fighter, Jim Hunter, a helluva good dude with quite a story. Watch for it in Hot Rod Bikes. Let’s hit the news.
This month we wrapped up the photography for the upcoming 2002 FastDates.com calendars with a sizzlin’ cover shoot of our favorite calendar models and SBK World Superbike trophy girls Brooke Johnson and Taylor McKegney. Things really got heated up in the studio between these two beautiful girls and I’m sure you’ll appreciate the results in the 2002 Garage Girls Calendar. And of course, the steamier outtakes from our shoot will be featured in Members Corner in the next few months. So stay tuned… http://www.FastDates.com/MBRINVIT.htm
Got the new H-D Twin-Cam stroker wheels and pistons in. Here are a couple of shots for you. “Meanest” woman is holding the pistons. I thought for sure them flames were bouncing up and down for a minute there. The “Best Crank” holder in the shop is holding them rods upright and at attention. We will be putting the stroker kit in a demo bike soon with heads, cams, etc..
Later, Paul–Charlotte, H-D
P.S. I know, I know, the girls were a little shy. What can I say, man?
I’ll take the one with the nice nails. –Bandit
I was listening to the radio the other day and I heard one of the all-time best comeback lines in my life. Note: This is an exact replication of a National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and U.S. Army Gen. Reinwald, who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout troop visiting his military installation.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: “So, Gen. Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?”
GENERAL REINWALD: “We’re going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.”
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: “Shooting! That’s a bit irresponsible, isn’t it?”
GENERAL REINWALD: “I don’t see why, they’ll be properly supervised on the rifle range.”
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: “But you’re equipping them to become violent killers.”
GENERAL REINWALD: “Well, you’re equipped to be a prostitute, but you’re not one, are you?”
The radio went silent and the interview ended. And all I could think was, go Army!

The grand master’s gas tank. This is a suicide clutch Panhead chopper built in the early ’70s and still on the road. The owner is the man who originally came to the States with Bruce Lee and trained with him until he died. His dojo is dedicated to the master. He’s now finally looking for a Road King. Write Bandit@bikernet.com if you have a deal on a late model Road King.
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington engineering mid-term. The answer was so “profound” that the professor shared it with colleagues, which is why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
BONUS QUESTION: Is hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law, (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering hell, let’s look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in hell because Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the volume of hell has to expand as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose.
2. Of course, if hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.?
So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Teresa Banyan during my freshman year, “… that it will be a cold day in hell before I sleep with you,” and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with Ms. Banyan, then, #2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that hell is exothermic and will not freeze.”
The student received the only “A” given.

Got word that someone called about the Hagman gala event and got info from Bikernet. Cool! Thanks! The number they called was (310) 204-3300. That is our work facility in Culver City where we have our Beach Ride meetings. For the Hagman event, can we use/place (323) 298-8218. That is my direct line. Also, you can place (800) 696-3727. Kim Peterson taking pictures at Hagman’s Hall of Fame indoctrination dinner in Beverly Hills should be a blast. Some tickets are still available.
A husband and wife had a bitter quarrel on the day of their 40th wedding anniversary. The husband yells, “When you die, I’m getting you a headstone that reads, ‘Here Lies My Wife – As Cold As Ever.'”
“Yeah” she replies, “When you die, I’m getting you a headstone that reads, ‘Here Lies My Husband – Stiff At Last.'”
Victory Motorcycles Teams With Coca-Cola, Sprint and Kmart to Back Kyle Petty Children’s Charity Ride In-Store Displays Raise Awareness of Ride’s Fundraising Efforts
Victory Motorcycles has teamed up with Kmart, Sprint PCS and Coca-Cola to rev up support for the Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America, the annual cross-country motorcycle ride that has raised more than $2 million for children’s hospitals and charities. Victory and its partners are raising awareness of the seventh annual charity ride with displays featured exclusively in Big K and Super Kmart stores nationwide. The displays include a large cut-out of Kyle Petty with two Victory Motorcycles, as well as Coca-Cola product and information about the charity ride. Kmart shoppers can pick up registration forms and mail them in for a chance to win prizes such as two Victory motorcycles and a trip for four to the annual end-of-the-ride party at Kyle Petty’s farm. Winners who attend the party will get to meet NASCAR celebrities as well as popular musical acts who perform at the party. Displays in several Kmart stores across the country will also feature actual Victory motorcycles – not just cardboard cutouts – created through the cooperative efforts of Victory dealers, Kmart store managers, and Coca-Cola bottlers. Bottlers who help create the best Coca-Cola/Victory/Kmart displays will be eligible to win genuine Victory leather jackets autographed by Kyle Petty. The in-store displays will be seen by approximately 38 million Kmart shoppers per week between March and April.
I believe- that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.
