If you’ve been paying attention to the cover page, you’re probably aware of the fact that our fearless leader tangled with a deer on a Wyoming highway just outside Sturgis this week. He’s still in pretty serious condition, and the doctors are watching him closely, but we expect he’ll make a full recovery in spite of the long road ahead of him. Jon Towle is working up something to remember the occasion, we’ll just have to wait and see what Dr. Dimento comes up with.
Well wishers have been hitting ‘Your Shot,’ and the Bikernet crew would like to thank everyone for their concern and support. If you’d like to send a card or otherwise, there are details on where to send them in the news report on Bandit’s condition here.
Or at least they will be. Digital’s been code hammering out the ordering and download systems to get it ready for public patronage. It should be ready by the end of the week. We’ll feature two to start, including the Time Cycle and Hardtail issues of the screensaver. Watch the homepage for the release.
Buck Lovell, owner of Hardtail, also sent Digital issues 2, 3 and 4 in black and white, to which the reply was “What the fuck?!??!” Buck is re-doing those issues in full color and should have them up on the Web site soon, ready for download.
Meet Mr. Big Bad…. Jon Towle finished up the artwork for Digital’s Rigid about a week ago. The sheetmetal was sent out for paint and the bike is stripped down in pieces waiting to be moved into Digital’s New Garage, which is under construction. We’ll have a new BDL belt drive install, Joker hand control installs and a bunch more stuff coming your way VERY soon in the Wrench’s Garage. Watch for it.
It’s a short news day folks, with all the stuff that’s been happening with El Bandito, but we’ll have the man back tied to his chair and propped up in front of the P.C. hammering out a bigger and better “Sunday Post” in no time flat. NuttBoy’s heading out to the hospital to retrieve the old boy. He plans to strap him to the back of the Blue Flame on a makeshift drag cot that Zebra used to haul his last kill from Florida to L.A. Layla’s got some healin’ in store for him when he gets back from the brink, and Zebra’s threatened to shoot the old boy if he doesn’t get back in shape quick.
Hang on, the ride’s just begun.
