Britian Announces Motorcycle Ban
The House of Parliament announced recently that it is banning off-road riding nationwide due to the widespread devastation inflicted on the country through foot and mouth disease. Since off road bikes scoot through predominately farm lands, the tires pick up germs and can spread them to adjoining farms.
Here’s something I forgot: Street Vibrations this year is Sept. 19-23 in Reno, Nev., and here’s their goddamn Website: www.road-shows.com. For pre-registration guys, it’s $52.50 for a T-shirt, run pin, ride-in show, parade pass, poker run, poker walk(?) and all the VIP parties.
The Digital Dumpster will change in the next week or so to the Digital Discovery, a place where we will reveal the treasures of the lost Bikernet planet. Last week it was a rare Von Dutch knife and the photographic talents of one drag racing fanatic, Helen Wolfe (her boyfriend, the notorious Mailman, races). Next week we will bring you the strangest oil filter on the lost planet. This one-of-a-kind item is too difficult to describe.
We will also bring you images of the first soy bean- powered Harley-Davidson. I spoke to Harold Benich today. During the day Harold works at a prison keeping the rolling stock escape fresh. At night he plays with alternative fuels and his Fatboy. We also hope to bring you the journalistic talents of the Charlie (above) and Mary Lou Brewton team real soon.
Let your voice be heard on the subject of the government closing your land. With more than 5,000 responses as of this morning, 76 percent are opposed to Clinton’s land closure. You can increase that percentage.
MSNBC is running another poll to verify support or opposition to the Clinton/Gore Roadless Initiative. We need to send the strongest message to the Bush administration that this effort to circumvent Congress should be thwarted.
Make your vote count at: http://www.msnbc.com/news/545197.asp
Get there as soon as you can. MSNBC has a habit of closing its polls early!

Deal of the week– This is Geno’s rigid project bike. It’s fresh and has a hot rod S&S engine. It could be yours for as little as $17,900. E-mail me at Bandit@bikernet.com.
Congratulations, your site “BikerNet.com” has been awarded the bikersource.com Gold Tank Award.
Undercover Bikernet spy at the Last Resort bar during Bike Week.
Insider report on Daytona’s custom scene. Hey guys, looks like this Daytona was milder than any. There was a lack of cool bikes from previous years. A lot of stock RUB bikes, coon tail award winners, but the real cool bikes seemed to be at the displays of known builders.
Every year we expect the Europeans to show their stuff, but only Kodlin (if I see another thing copied I’ll puke) was around. Although there were some pretty cool bikes at the Rat’s. Lucky only six fatal accidents, but there was one very troubled moron running over some guys on Main Street while hitting a cop and a few parked bikes. I guess they can’t blame it on the no helmet law.
The most bizarre thing was a cop pulling over a BBW Beach Cruiser rider for WIDE bars. To me it’s a first. The Man was, as always, very effective trying to fill quotas and general ticketing for even looking the wrong way….Daytona has beaten, by far, Deadwood as the home of police harassment. Hell yeah!
First thing that I saw gettin’ into Daytona was that big ass billboard with Bandit and Bikernet. Hey, pretty cool. –Jose, Da Mole
I believe– that we don’t have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
I believe- that no matter how good friends are, they’re going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I believe- that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
I believe- that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

ASSMOSIS: The process by which some people seem to absorb success and advancement by kissing up to the boss rather than working hard.
That’s it for this week. Send vicious rumors, awards and small bags of gold to Bandit@Bikernet.com, and you’ll see it in the Sunday Post.
