BIKERNET UNIVERSITY SCIENCE LAB FINDINGS SPONSORED BY DANNI ASHE– If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
(Hardly seems worth it.)
If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
(Now that’s more like it !)
The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.
(O.M.G.!)
A pig’s orgasm lasts 30 minutes.
(In my next life, I want to be a pig..)
A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.)
(I’m still not over the pig.)
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour
(Don’t try this at home, maybe at work)
The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male’s head off.
(Honey, I’m home. What the…?)
The flea can jump 350 times its body length..
It’s like a human jumping the length of a football field.
(30 minutes. Lucky pig! Can you imagine?)
The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.
(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)
Some lions mate over 50 times a day.
(I still want to be a pig in my next life…quality over quantity)

BIKERNET HEARSE PROJECT REPORT– Mike Cole, a Hamster, in Ohio, is customizing the Bikernet hearse. Mike is multi-talented, customizing cars bikes and the inside of home. He has a furniture business, also. Mike just had one of his custom bikes featured on the cover of American Bagger magazine.
He’s replace the Hearse interior, so it’s now a station wagon. He took care of lowering the chassis, replacing the wheels and tires, black powder coatings the trim, and next comes pinstriping and airbrush works. Hang on.

ROGUE BAD COP REPORT SPONSORED BY THE 2010 LA CALENDAR SHOW– A Harford County man now faces up to five years in prison after he recorded a bizarre traffic stop last month in Harford County.
Anthony Graber was riding his motorcycle with a camera attached to his helmet recording his ride.
It happened near the Riverside exit of I-95. A Maryland State trooper in an unmarked car pulled over Graber for speeding. The trooper is seen in a YouTube video that Graber posted, jumping out of the car and tells Graber “Get off the motorcycle, get off the motorcycle! Get off the motor cycle, State Police.”
The trooper is seen pulling his gun immediately after getting out of the unmarked car. It’s not until five seconds after he exits the car that he identifies himself a Maryland State trooper.
I do not understand why the motorcyclist is wrong for posting what when on. How else are we to prove that this kind of thing goes on way to often?

BIKERNET CULINARY INSTITUTE SAFETY MEMO, Six Tips for Safer Salads– Salads based on greens, particularly dark leafy varieties such as spinach and kale, can be a good way to get your Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vegetables. However, the contents of salad can sometimes be a source of E. coli and salmonella. Help minimize your risk of exposure to pathogens with these steps:
1. Always rinse packaged greens, even if the package states ?prewashed.? Greens that look fresh, especially greens in plastic, can still harbor bacteria. Loose and unpacked greens should be washed three times under cold, running water to remove sand, dirt and any bacteria that may be present.
2. Don’t purchase greens that are past their ?best-if-used-by? date.
3. All vegetables and fruits should be scrubbed under cold, running water before being used.
4. Do not put raw bean sprouts or alfalfa sprouts in your salad – they aren’t really all that healthy and risk of toxins, E. coli or salmonella from these sources is high.
5. If using tofu in salad, purchase it in packaged form only – avoid buying it in bulk out of open barrels, which may harbor unwanted organisms.
6. At a salad bar, make sure that the vegetables are well chilled (kept over ice) and that the food is properly shielded with a sneeze guard or hood. Avoid any items that look old or dried out.
Check out the Food Safety page on DrWeil.com for more information, and keep up to date on outbreaks of food-borne illness.
BIKERNET GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION– Ironic pic I took.
–Irving Marsh
Word of the Day for Sunday– malversation mal-vur-SAY-shun, noun: Misconduct, corruption, or extortion in public office.
The Inspector General Act was designed to protect patriotic whistle-blowers who seek to reveal malversation in government.
— Arthur Schlesinger Jr., “How History Will Judge Him”, Time, February 22, 1999
Aniano Desierto, the government ombudsman, said that the preliminary investigation would take 60 days and involve six charges: plunder, malversation (misuse of funds), violations of the anti-graft law, perjury, bribery and possession of unexplained wealth.
— “Estrada faces plunder inquiry”, Times (London), January 22, 2001
Malversation comes, via French, from Latin male, “badly” + versari, “to be engaged in, to take part in.”
California’s last auto plant shuts its doors– FREMONT, Calif. (AP) – The last car has rolled off the production lines at California’s sole auto plant. Workers are trickling out of the New United Motor Manufacturing plant in Fremont as they complete their tasks and the plant readies to shut down.
Nearby, job centers have been set up to help the newly unemployed figure out benefits, retraining and other options.
The plant made Toyota Tacoma trucks and Corolla sedans. The last Tacoma rolled off the assembly lines last week, and Corolla production ended Thursday.
The plant began 25 years ago as a joint venture between Toyota Motor Corp. and General Motors Co. GM pulled out last year, and Toyota later announced it would halt production, eliminating about 4,700 jobs.
State officials are pursuing federal grants to help those impacted by the closure.

ALAN LEE FIND AN ENGINE FOR HIS LATEST PROJECT–First pics of the dismantling of THE engine , Ferrari V12 with 585 Horse power from factory, 10.5 to 1 compression at 8000 rpm, should be at the shop Wednesday. I finally get what I want from the beginning, I should be able to suck close to 1000 HP out of the baby with all the goodies and the 2 blowers.

SUNDAY POST WRAP–Can?t write anymore, something crashed on my computer.
KICK-BACK TIME– Life is nuts. I put Zack’s mastercylinder together and it acted cool, but didn’t bleed. We pulled it apart and found I had installed one rubber piston in backwards. This time it worked. It was nearly 9:00 p.m. before we completed the task. He rode out, Bad Brad brought the smoked Swordfish and whiskey.
So, what’s happening next week? I’m going to work on Todd’s Road King story, and I’ll scramble on wrapping up the Assalt weapan for Bonneville tuning. We need to roll it over to Bennett’s Performance for dyno runs and tuning with the Pegasus fuel injection.
I have another project nagging me. My Sturgis Shovel engine is making a noise, and I need to correct it. Just as soon as I pull Dr. Hamster’s VL off the rack I’m going to lift the Shovel, check the rear exhaust pushrod, and maybe pull the head.
I installed a Cycle Electric regulator from Biker’s Choice, on the front of his 12 Volt generator. I’ll deliver that simple tech next week, also. They’re the only way to go for any generator model these days. They completely eliminate all regulators and simplify wiring. In the meantime, let’s ride.
Ride forever,
