MIKE MCLAUGHLIN in the Cantina.The man is the picture is NASCAR Busch Grand National driver Mike McLaughlin with his prostreet. Besides driving, Mike?is one of the best fabricators out there, doing alot of the race car building himself. He did most of the?design and fabrication on this bike. Jim Bortles of Carolina HD, assisted him. But he didn’t need much help. He drove this painter nuts all by himself, (only kidding Mike.) I had a nice easy paint scheme all drawn out, then he goes and gets creative with his welding. Oh well, the bike came out great and Mike is doing very well this year. He is currently fifth in points. – Crazyhorse
Survivor 3
Rated PG
A major network is planning the show “Survivor 3” this winter. In response, Texas is planning “Survivor, Texas Style.” The contestants will start in Dallas, travel through Waco, Austin, San Antonio, over to Houston, and down to Brownsville. They will proceed up to Del Rio, on to El Paso, then to Midland/Odessa, Lubbock, and Amarillo. From there, they proceed to Abilene, and on to Ft. Worth and back to Dallas.
Each will be driving a pink Volvo with a bumper sticker that reads, “I’m gay, I voted for Al Gore, and I’m here to confiscate your guns.”
The first one to make it back to Dallas wins.
Here’s a nasty connection, if you need to rent an antique motorcycle: The Two Wheel Devil, Paul Greenstien (323) 225-2224.

Polk, the longest standing curator of auto records in the U.S., says the 2000 Motorcycle National Vehicle Population Profile (MNVPP) is now available. ?It’s a census of every motorcycle and all-terrain vehicle (ATV) registered in the United States. ?This information, which can be sorted by make, geographic location, model, year and category (off- highway or on-road), gives Motorcycle Rights Organizations the ability to gather and share information for more political clout. ?
Polk’s 2000 Motorcycle file is loaded with facts and stats we can use, such as: there are more than 5.5 million motorcycles registered in the U.S, and California has roughly 12 percent of them. Nearly 30% of all running bikes are located in four states: California, New York, Texas and Illinois. ? Registrations in Louisiana and Texas have increased by more than 60% since 1997, which are the highest volume increases in the country. ?
Official Hacked to Death in Pemba, Tanzania : WOW! ?Hey, be careful if you ride in Tanzania. ?Seems a government official there was out for a putt recently, and got stopped by a roadblock?this time by gangsters, not cops. ? Some thugs hacked the guy to death with machetes! ?The Police think it might be political. ??
