Hey, I worked on the first Panhead Sport bike most of Saturday. It’s turning into an insane ride. I’ll show you a couple of shots. Then Layla and I roamed into Long Beach to Larry Settle’s Puka Bar on Willow for a couple of quiet drinks. Just one television played Sponge Bob cartoons and a speaker blared Reggae and Indie Rock a my back. I downed my drinks and we peeled out. Cool bar, just too loud. Is there no peace in the streets, or am I too old for bars? WTF.
I thought this news was going to be short, but it crept up on me. Let’s hit, then I’ll tell you about the blonde:
BIKERNET COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT–Bandit, Come on now, A man of your stature & knowledge wearing Jesus shoes. Not only that your also wearing black socks with them thangs.
Brutha your hurtin my hung over eyes. Please LOOSE those JESUS SHOES. (my kids didn?t think they made them anymore).

How can I walk on water without officially signed, In the Valley of Death, Jesus sandals?–Bandit
BIKERNE BONNEVILLE SPONSORS REPORT– I’m heading out to UPS to ship you the banners and stickers right now. The sign maker told me not to fold them because that will destroy them by causing creases in the vinyl. He said if they are rolled up they will last nearly forever. The guy who redesigned the logos and made the banners is Steve Shryock at Bluegrass Signs & Art in Lawrenceburg, KY. He also owns a bike shop S & B Cycles in Lawrenceburg and is a lifelong Harley rider so please keep him in mind if anyone asks about the banners or the design work. I think he did a fantastic job and I feel that he deserves a lot of credit for his design work.
I recall you saying you are planning a shakedown run sometime in May so we had better finalize your Amsoil needs soon. We should probably get your oil. gear lube, fork oil, etc ordered pretty soon just to be on the safe side. I plan to head out to New Mexico next weekend, then I’ll Run to The Wall Memorial Day followed by a long trip through the west in early July before the season’s big finale for me, the Land Speed Records in Sept, which means I’ll be leaving KY around the last week of August. As you can see I have a big summer planned and I don’t want anything to get sidetracked while I’m on the road.
Be sure and look through the packing since there are a couple of caps as well as another package inside the box.

http://www.bodyartbyananda.com/
I’m sending a pic taken at the Iron Gate in Myrtle Beach SC ( see attached).
I just finished a two year tour around the country, body painting my way across the nation. I’ve been at every major bike week up and down the east coast. Daytona, Myrtle Beach, Rolling Thunder in DC, Lake George NY, Harley Rendeveau, and Laconia NH. I paint beautiful bodies. That’s my job.
I’m new to the West Coast so I’m trying to get my work known. Anyone can contact me at this email address for special events or private parties. Here’s my phone number (206) 988-3919.

MOST EXPENSIVE CUSTOM BIKE IN THE WORLD– If you thought gas prices were high, try to afford this bad ass Demon’s Cycle South custom bike. This is my old used chopper. It’s used and abused, but still rides great.
I’m in the process of building myself a new, younger and better 2006 model.(Still looking for parts…call me girls! MUST BE YOUNG AND HOT) But this old used chopper is still a cool, bad ass ride. You know the saying…. one mans’ junk is another mans’ treasure.
Here is some data on my old beat up ride: This bike is expensive as hell, finicky, temperamental, bitchy and high, high maintenance but soooooooo much fun to play with. This is not a beginners bike ( TRUST ME). And if you’re trying to learn to ride this, it will kill you! Where ever you go with this ride it will draw a crowd and you will be the center of attention. For all you single guys this is the perfect chick magnet (jealousy will get you laid).
Don’t ever leave this bike out of your sight, before you know it, some other guy will be riding it. Don’t trust this bike.
All Components Are in Stock. Ready for Immediate Shipment.

BILLY LANE’S BLOOD, SWEAT & GEARS TOUR DOCUMENTARY RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCED– Billy Lane, Left Jab Productions, and Director Jason S. Edwards announced today that their highly anticipated documentary, BLOOD, SWEAT & GEARS would officially be ready for the masses on April 14th, 2006.
“We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished. What started out as something to make our involvement in the bike shows more interesting, has turned into a unique, rare tribute to the men and women of our armed forces,” reflects Lane during a recent interview. “What makes this special to me is that the fans at the shows were so engaged with what was happening on stage, and what it was all about. I set out to give something back, and am excited that the whole tour is now memorialized in this documentary.”
The film is slated for a world premiere in grand fashion on the evening of April 28th, at this year’s Laughlin River Run. The Edgewater Casino will be hosting the event, with the cast, crew, and fans in attendance. An encore presentation is slated for the following evening (Edgewater Casino).
Created by world-renowned custom motorcycle builder Billy Lane, BLOOD, SWEAT, & GEARS is the unique tour that hit bike rallies across the country with live, in your face fabrication. Dedicated to the members of the US Armed Forces, Billy and his master builder colleagues upgraded, modified, and tricked-out custom choppers in front of tens of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts. Proving once again to be a true innovator in the chopper world, Billy and crew turned a 53ft flatbed trailer into a complete fabrication shop on wheels. They pulled into town, raised the roof, and performed custom fabrication feats for die hard fans, who braved both rain and heat at 6 major bike rallies nationwide in ’05.
The patriotic themed tour featured the collaborative “on stage” efforts of Lane, Mondo Porras, Aaron Greene, Paul Cox, Kendall Johnson, and tour emcee Jennifer Scott. Early unpublished reviews suggest this film is a must see for all motorcycle enthusiasts merely for the live fabrication element, yet it delivers on many additional levels. It tugs at the heartstrings during the dedications and surprise giveaways of the customized choppers, and provides bucket loads of laughs as Lane and his team encounter rabid fans, harsh weather, and a few moments you have to see to believe. Highlights include Billy’s jump with the Army’s Golden Knights parachute team and a dedication live via satellite to a serviceman in Iraq. The DVD comes packed with many extras including commentary by Lane, a segment covering Billy’s trip to Japan, and some classic bike rally fan footage.
The BSG Tour is proudly presented by Billy Lane’s Choppers INC, Dodge, Activision, House of Kolor, Carolina Harley-Davidson, Miller Welding, the legendary Paisano Publications (V-Twin and Easyriders) and Bikernet.com.

BIKERNET BONNEVILLE ARTIST REPORT– Sin Wu sent the Von Dutch sticker image; it will help inspire me. I’ve seen it before and thought it was cool. I have it around but don’t know where. That’s the direction I was heading. I was already thinking of do something influenced by this Roth decal. It’s interesting that both decals have little babes on them.

NOISE ISSUE RAISED– Hey Bandit I live in a small town of about 1200 people in Iowa. Last night one of the town cops heard me blast through town at about 30mph.(funny huh) Honestly I did romp on it during take-off but that was about the extent of it. I own a 2000 Ultra Groundpounder ST which still has the stock exhaust that according to the owners manual meets all US EPA Federal noise standards.
I don’t mind getting pulled over but the problem I have with this situation is he follows me, I pull into my garage, he pulls into the driveway and acts like Barney badass which I still don’t have a real problem with.
It just so happens my 6 and 8 year old daughters were outside when Barney asks for my ID to see if I had a motorcycle endorsement. After he sees that I do he tells me I know you have exhaust but the whole town doesn’t have to hear it.
Now I’ve been employed by a larger city correctional dept. for about the last 5 years and I am also a member of the Fraternal Order of Police. So now I have to hear it from my girls, how I must of been breaking the law, speeding etc.etc.etc. The only reason I didn’t call this 8 dollar-an-hour, small town cop out was because of my girls. Now I’m thinking about filing a formal complaint. Just wanted to know what you thought.

Not exactly sure what you’re asking, but it’s early Sunday morning. There’s so many factors rolling around here. I’m working on a research study to prove that loud pipes save lives and we need ’em. On the other hand, it’s’ our personal responsibility to handle that noise responsibly. The last factor is enforcement. It’s going to be up to motorcycle rights groups, all across the country, to train law enforcement in how to handle bikes and noise. We can’t afford to give ’em all decibel meters and hope that they all use them exactly the same under identical circumstance. That leaves the sense of fairness on the part of cyclists and cops.
Under our doctrine we can have our hands slapped if we ride through residential neighborhoods after 10:00 at night raising hell. The other area might be your plight: The anti-reving ordinance used in Daytona by the police. If you rev your bike for the purpose of making excessive noise and get caught, shame on you. Does this help?–Bandit
MC ADVANTAGES AND HOOKER GET TOGETHER– The tire-burnin’, bad-attitude, race-inspired Hooker® Header line will debut in the MC Advantages 2006 catalog update due out in May 2006.

MARGARITA TIME–The sun’s shinning and the road calls. Last night was strange and surreal. There was a blonde playing footsie with Layla, but her eyes were calling me.
I’m 58 now and don’t go there much, but there’s nothing more alluring than the shape of a woman and her bright- eyed gaze. It reeks of treachery and devastation yet the lure of the tender touch is candy to a kid, heaven to the religious and opium to the drug addict.
A buddy of mine said during a Corona conversation, “You know, the middle eastern guys have a point with their highly covered and sequestered women. If you can’t see ’em it takes the temptation out of life.” Maybe he was right, maybe not. I still say legalized Sexual Clinics are the answer. Imagine if divorce suits were reduced by 50 percent because guys could get laid without shattering their home or screwing another man’s wife. The economy would go to hell.
Better shut down the computer, before I get my ass in hot water. Her smile still lingers on my mind. I’m going for a ride. Lots of wild material coming at us next week. Hang on.
Ride Forever,
–Bandit
