THE IRISH CELEBRATION–Paddy had been drinking at his local Dublin pub all day and most of the night celebrating St Patrick’s Day. Well it was his duty really; toasting his namesake.
Mick, the bartender says, ” You’ll not be drinking anymore tonight Paddy. Paddy replies, “OK Mick, I’ll be on my way then.”
Paddy spins around on his stool and steps off. He falls flat on His face. “Buggher” he says and pulls himself up by the stool and dusts himself off. He takes a step towards the door and falls flat on his face, “Shoite, Shoite!”
He looks to the doorway and thinks to himself that if he can just g et to the door and some fresh air he’ll be fine. He belly crawls tothe door and shimmies up to the door frame. He sticks his head outside and takes a deep breath of fresh air, feels much better and takes a step out onto the footpath and falls flat on his face.
“Be’jayz… I’m feckin’ shcuttered,” he says. He can see his house just a few doors down, and crawls to the door, hauls himself up the door frame, opens the door and shimmies inside.
He takes a look up the stairs and says “No bleedin’ way” He crawls up the stairs to his bedroom door and says “I can Make it to the bed.”
He takes a step into the room and falls flat on his face. He says “Ah phock it” and falls into bed.
The next morning, his wife, Molly, comes into the room carrying a cup of tea and says, “Morning Paddy”. Did you have a bit to drink lastnight?”.
Paddy says, “I did Moll. I was shaggin’ pissed. But how’d you know?”
“Mick phoned, . . You left your wheelchair at the pub.”

BAKER BUSINESS GOES IN REVERSE–BAKER Drivetrain has created the F6R reverse kit for 2007-2008 factory Cruise Drive six-speeds to meet the demands of an aging demographic of Harley riders. The F6R provides a reverse gear which is especially useful for riders of large touring bikes, side cars, trailer users and trikes who find it difficult to push a bike backwards.
Lehman Trikes adopted the technology for its Harley-Davidson three-wheel motorcycles and now, the F6R is exclusively distributed via Lehman Trikes and Baker Drivetrain.
Reverse is selected by moving the foot shift lever. Down shift into 1st gear, engage the electric safety switch near the handle bars and down shift again to select reverse. Up shift into 1st after completing the reverse maneuver to continue down the road.
Internally, the shift drum indexes to select reverse. The drum inherently functions as an interlock and makes it impossible to select reverse and another gear simultaneously.
The F6R is over-designed to make it durable under all conditions. Reverse gears and dogs are fully case hardened to HRC58-62 making the F6R as durable in reverse as it is in forward gears. Reverse gear ratio is 4.98:1. This compares to the 1st gear ratio of 3.34 making it 45 percent shorter than 1st gear.
The system is compatible with the Baker F6F which reduces 5th gear noise, and is available with cable type or hydraulic clutch actuator side cover. Baker offers an install service on the F6R on low mile six-speed gearsets sent to it for a nominal charge.

BIKERS DREAM TV ANNOUNCES NEW V-TWIN MOTORCYCLE SERIES FOR TELEVISION– New TV Series Aims at the Do-It-Yourself Motorcycle Builder. Ocean City, Md. April 15, 2008 Pinky Toe Productions, a full service production studio focusing on television, cable and internet entertainment, today announced the completion of its newest pilot show, Bike Dreams. Bike Dreams is a new show focusing on customizing V-Twin motorcycles. The show will take an average V-Twin rider and show them how to build a custom motorcycle from start to finish without the drama of other shows and without having to have a mechanics? background. Motorcycles are everywhere nowadays and customizing them has entered into mainstream American homes, said Joe Pishtey, co-executive director of Bike Dreams. There have been many shows on TV with a similar focus but they are more drama entertainment. Bike Dreams will have an educational focus with a lot of fun. Bike Dreams latest pilot is a new show for the regular person with a stock motorcycle and a dream to have a custom bike but doesn?t know where to begin or who doesn?t have the budget to have a professional build them a motorcycle. The hosts of the show, Joe and Bob, are regular guys with very little mechanical experience. All they have are some tools and a desire to turn a stock bike into a custom riding machine. The show will show the start and the finish and will show any errors or issues that the hosts encounter just like reality TV but without the drama. “Bike Dreams will not only show the how-to?s but will also introduce new innovative products, services and builders to the public. These products will not be the everyday catalog products and will not only increase the awareness of these manufactures but will also help to make the finished bike a near-one-off custom. Currently, Pinky Toe Productions is in negotiation with several big named television channels and encourages all interested parties to go to the Bike Dreams website and let their opinions be heard. The feedback on the pilot show has been so overwhelming that a web forum and photo galleries have been created to support and further educate the V-Twin audience.

Hope everything is going good out your way. I am already getting asked if we are going to do it again this year. I think we started something Bro. Looks like we made the day for a lot of guys. I don’t know what the hell that is that they are standing in front of, but got to tell ya if I was dressed in a robe and had a AK47 my brain would tell me that would be the last thing I would be shooting at LOL. –Later Jerry, Thanks for your Support Jerry, Thanks so much for the boxes we recently received. The shirts look awesome. Everyone on our team was able to get a couple of shirts. Also, thanks for all the other goodies that were in the boxes. You don’t know how much we appreciate your guys support. We just received the boxes because we have been moving all around in Iraq. We have been to Baghdad, Kirkuk and now are in Baji. There are 11 of us that make up our Military Transition Team (MiTT 0462). We partner with the Iraqi Army and then train them on basic Soldiering tasks. It definitely tries our patience from time to time. However, these guys are eager to learn and defend their own country. They are willing to take the fight to the enemy even though they are not as well equipped as we are to do so. Could you please pass this email on to any of the other supporters? Take Care, THANKS TO THE MRF–Thanks for the MRF getting on board. Hupy and Abraham, S.C. gave $5000.00 a couple months ago but please let us know if we can do anything else. I believe this is the most important helmet case in the nation since you called it a backdoor helmet law when the WI Supreme court said damages could be reduced for unhelmeted riders. Thanks to ABATE of Wisconsin, the legislature fixed that. For more on these issues see www.hupy.com/ Thanks also for the plaque of appreciation Greg Rodd brought to my office this week for our participation in ABATE lobby day. What a great event, we had a force 500 strong. I am proud to be a member of MRF, ABATE of WI and A.B.A.T.E of IL. –Attorney Michael Hupy ALL NEW CUSTOM CHROME CATALOG ONLINE–MORGAN HILL, CA (April 15, 2008) ??

Is this country still based on freedom or is it based on safety and security. A retired army commander recently said to me, ?There is no safety clause in the Constitution.? That hit home. I?m an industry leader in the American aftermarket motorcycle industry. It?s about a two billion a year industry. We?re small potatoes, but we?re are predominately an American based manufacturing industry, rare in our society. The California Air Resources Board had a meeting last week with some Motorcycle Industry representatives and asked, ?Why do we even have an aftermarket industry.? Obviously the industry was appalled. We need to back up in this country and make freedom a priority before freedom doesn?t exist. I wish you all the best, –K. Randall Ball W8LESS ROTORS MAKE THE WORLDS FASTEST PANHEAD GO FASTER–Brake pad request for FASTEST PAN were forwarded to Larry Hunter last week , to be shipped to Accurate Engineering, builder of the World’s Fastest Panhead engine.
