BIKERNET NURSE ON THE CASE OF NATURAL ANTI-DEPRESSANTS–
Tough week? Feeling kinda lousy?
So what are you gonna do about it?
Punch a wall . . . drink heavily, take anti-depressants?
How about NATURAL anti-depressants?
No pharmaceuticals, all natural . . . . ..
Like a nice bike ride
Or a piece of homemade cake
Get your car washed
Few hours at the beach
If none of these work for you, there’s Sam Adams

Tom finally decided to tie the knot with his longtime girlfriend. One evening, after the honeymoon, he was cleaning one of his hot rods for an upcoming show.
His wife was standing there at the bench watching him. After a long period of silence she finally speaks. “Honey, I’ve just been thinking, now that we are married maybe it’s time you quit spending all your time out here in the garage and you probably should just consider selling all your cars along with your gun collection and motorcycles.
Tom gets this horrified look on his face. She says, “Darling, what’s wrong?”
“There for a minute you were starting to sound like my ex-wife.”
“Ex wife!”, she screams, “YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU WERE MARRIED BEFORE!!!!!!!“
Tom’s reply: “I wasn’t……….“
RENEGADE AND AVON LIGHT UP STURGIS 2015 —
A funeral procession pulled into a cemetery. Several carloads of family members followed a black truck towing a boat with a coffin in it.
A passer-by remarked, “That guy must have been a very avid fisherman.”
noun
1. a hole in or near a volcano, from which vapor rises.
The steam that billowed from its invisible depths form ragged curtains as it emerged into the light. Festooned around this giant fumarole were dozens of the giant convolvulus flowers.

NEW BIKERNET TRIKES READER COMMENT! —
As a disabled retired Army Vet working on my own trike from ground up this is very inspiring!! I can no longer hold up a two wheeled bike and since I am very short a complete custom trike was needed. My God Mom was having one built for her by her late brother, now I have it since my God mom passed away. I am blessed to one day get back out there when this is all configured and fixed!! thank you for enlightening me on this company !!

BIKERNET UNIVERSITY COMBINED ALGEBRA AND BAD JOKES LESSON 1–
This comes from 2 math teachers with a combined total of 70 yrs. experience.
It has an indisputable mathematical logic:
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100% effort.
How about achieving 103%?
What makes up 100% in life?
Here’s a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
If you take:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
to be represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But ,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard Work, Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it’s the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will always put you over the top.
Now you know why some people are where they are!
