    Turkeys Stuffed With Cheer, Family and Friends Along With Good Ole Jack. By Bandit, Ray Wheeler, Bob T., Jim Waggaman, Mistress Chris, Richard Kranzler, RFR, Dr Feng, Sam Kanish, Art, and the rest of stalwart Bikernet crew. Hey, As nuts as the world is we need to be thankful for what we have. In this wild crazy day and age, anyone can do anything. I’m not kidding. Unless you live in Iran, Syria, or maybe Egypt, you can go to school and do almost anything. It’s a blessing and it has it’s drawbacks. Like our Bikernet Intern, Kyle, who is a journeyman electrician, a High School Volleyball coach, a restaurant maintenance man, and our underpaid Bikernet certified electrician. He can run a restaurant, build his electrical installation and repair business, become a coach, become a port union crane mechanic, or become a fireman, you name it. So, what does he do? He chases girls, smokes cigarettes, and flits from one low-paying job to the next. Focus is the key, and he has a tough time deciding what to focus on. For us mutts who are focused on motorcycles, we might not get rich, but we sure have a good time. Have a helluva Holiday. CLICK HERE TO READ NEWS!

    Harley Drags Texas style with photos and text by Rigid Frame Richard. For over 30 years there have been Harleys running at Little River Raceway just outside of Temple, Texas at summers end. The past 30 years Red Roberts has held these drag races each year on Labor Day weekend, which allows for 3 days of racing fun. You do however have to fight the Texas heat. This year it was decided to move the event to October to relieve it from the normal first of September track melting heat! And while the plan worked, the weekend also received early forecasts of rain, heavy at times. This seemed to keep several of the fuel boys at home and unfortunately some of the attendees. While it only rained a little on Saturday it was very brief and only caused a 20-minute delay at most. Although Mother Nature did start to get a bit grumpier by the days end, thankfully the fuel folks that were on hand had already done their qualifying runs.   CLICK HERE TO READ ARTICLE

Mounting GPS on a motorcycle with the NEW Leader Windshield GPS Mount is as easy as it gets. All you do is remove the stud on your windshield and screw it on! Flats on two sides of the stem make it easy to use a wrench for tightening. The 17mm ball (same size ball as a car mount) utilizes your stock GPS cradle or the socket-mounting hole on the back of your unit and rotates/tilts just as it does in your car! Fitment includes many Garmin Nuvi, Magellan Roadmate series, and other GPS models. Unlike the competition, the Leader Windshield GPS Mount is made of polished stainless steel and manufactured IN THE USA. Total length is 2-3/8” – perfect for clearing the windshield “arc.”   Leader Motorcycle specializes in making the motorcyclist’s ride more convenient and comfortable. Our Gadgets division specializes in mounting kits for GPS, phone, iPod/MP3, radio, camera—even clocks and drink holders. Our Cold-Weather division manufactures the Desert Dawgs rain guards and Desert Digits Wind Deflectors to keep riders warm and dry. Manufacturing in the USA! http://www.LeaderMotorcycle.com/ Advertisement

HE’S the Bible-toting bikie who commands the respect of outlaw bikers, celebrities and world leaders alike. The reverend Dr John ‘Bullfrog’ Smith, founder of the world’s oldest Christian motorcycle club, God’s Squad, describes himself as a “one-percenter of the Christian movement”. After 43 years offering chaplaincy to outlaw motorcycle gangs, Rev Smith says drug dealing and firearms were not typical of patched motorcycle groups, despite recent feuds between a handful of rogue clubs. The long-time Boronia resident who recently moved to Ocean Grove, said he hoped to deliver this message at a protest rally in Melbourne’s CBD on ­Sunday, December 1. “I know whole chapters of (outlaw) bikers who if you even began to touch that world you would be kicked out of the club,” he said. “I’ve got 17 grandchildren, why would I want to fight to support the drug trade?” Rev Smith, 71, supported police going after drugs and ­firearms, but warned “horrific” open-ended anti-bikie laws, such as those ­introduced in Queensland, could be used against any ­community group. “I know there are bad ­apples, but then there are in the police force and sadly the priesthood,” he said. A passionate human rights campaigner, Rev Smith was once sentenced to death in the Philippines for defending the rights of rural peasants, holds a PhD in cultural anthropology and is a confidante of superstars U2. He felt called to work in the bikie scene after passing a group of riders tinkering with a bike on the roadside. “I thought ‘I wonder if anyone ever gets to talk to these guys about faith, the  meaning of life, about what love really is’,” Rev Smith said. God’s Squad members were welcomed as friends into most “so-called outlaw” clubs, he said. “It doesn’t mean we share the same lifestyle, except we do share the love

Text Deflector 2.0 (www.textdeflector.com), the smart phone app designed to provide a safer driving environment for everyone. Text Deflector is a free app (with no ads) that’s designed to take the impulse to respond to texts away from drivers so they can focus on the task at hand… driving safely. Text Deflector’s patent pending technology works by sensing and linking to your in-car handsfree device (Bluetooth or wired headset) and automatically responds for you without any user input whatsoever to any incoming texts. Text Deflector notifies the sender that the driver is unavailable and optionally requests that the sender call instead. Text Deflector 2.0 not only responds to SMS (text) messages while you’re driving, now it will also respond to MMS (picture and video) messages so you don’t get distracted by any pictures sent to you when you’re traveling down the Interstate. “This is an app that should come pre-installed in every phone for the safety of the driving community,” says Suite B Media’s director of marketing, Loralee Fultz. “Text Deflector is simple to use – just launch the app and assign it to any hands-free device and it’s ready to go.” Text Deflector is available now FREE for all popular versions of Android via Google Play. Blackberry and Windows Phone versions coming soon.
