FEDERAL JUDGE DENIES INJUNCTION AGAINST MYRTLE BEACH–U.S. District Court Judge Terry Wooten issued a decision late Monday ona request for an injunction filed by event promoter Mike Shank andHarley-Davidson of Myrtle Beach to prevent the city from enforcingamendments and ordinances dealing with its special event and noiseordinances and the new helmet law, which takes effect Feb. 28.
Last month, an Horry County circuit court judge also declined to issuean injunction against the city’s helmet law requested by two MyrtleBeach residents and motorcycle enthusiasts, Carol and William O’Day.Neither lawsuit has not been dismissed, however, and a second federalsuit has not been heard yet.Shank said he’s looking forward to having his case heard in court. Shankand his co-plaintiffs allege the city’s ordinances are unconstitutional,will irreparably harm their businesses and chill free speech byrestricting their ability to advertise the Harley-Davidson rally thatdraws more than a quarter-million people to the beach each spring. Theyalso say the city has overreached by passing a helmet ordinance stricterthan the state’s law that says anyone 21 or older has the choice ofwearing a helmet while riding.
”I think the judge mentioned there are a lot of issues to be decided,and we look forward to getting those resolved,” Shank said.
The city usually does not comment on legal matters, but city spokesmanMark Kruea said “we’re pleased with the judge’s ruling. We’ll enforcethe ordinances as planned.”

OFFICIAL BIKERNET CHRISTMAS STORY–T’was the night before Christmas, and God it was neat…The kids were both gone, and my wife was in heat…The doors were all bolted, and the phone off the hook…It was time for some nooky, by hook or by crook.
Momma in her teddy, and I in the nude…Had just hit the bedroom and reached for the lube…When out on the lawn there arose such a cry…That I lost my boner and poor momma went dry.
Up to the window I sprang like an elf…Tore back the shade while she played with herself…The moon on the crest of the snowman we built…Showed a broom up his ass, clean up to the hilt. When what to my wondering eyes should appear…But a rusty old sleigh and eight mangy reindeer…With a fat little driver, half out of his sled…A sock in his ear and a bra on his head.
Sure as I’m speaking, he was as high as a kite…He yelled to his team, but it didn’t sound right…Whoa Shithead, whoa Asshole, whoa Stupid, whoa Putz…Either slow down this rig or I’ll cut off your nuts. Look out for the lamp post and don’t hit the tree…Quit shaking the sleigh, cause I gotta go pee…
They cleared the old lamp post, the tree got a rub…Just as Santa leaned out and threw up on a shrub. And then from the roof we heard such a clatter…As each little reindeer now emptied his bladder…
I was donning my jacket to cover my ass…When down the chimney Santa came with a crash.
His suit was all smelly with perfume galore…He looked like a bum and smelled like a whore…
“That was some brothel,” he said with a smile…”The reindeer are pooped and I’ll just stay here awhile.”
He walked to the kitchen, himself poured a drink…Then whipped out his pecker and pissed in the sink…
I started to laugh, my wife smiled with glee…The old boy was hung nearly down to his knee.
Back in the den, Santa reached in his sack…But his toys were all gone and some new things were packed…
The first thing he found was a pair of false tits…The next was a handgun with a penis that spits. A box filled with condoms was Santa’s next find…And a six pair of panties, the edible kind…A bra without nipples, a penis extension…And several other things that I shouldn’t even mention. A cock ring, a G-string and all types of oils…A dildo so long, it lay in a coil.
“This stuff ain’t for kids, Mrs. Santa will shit…So I’ll leave ’em here and then I’ll just split.”
He filled every stocking and then took his leave…With one tiny butt plug tucked under his sleeve…He sprang to his sleigh, but his feet were like lead…Thus he fell on his ass and broke wind instead.
In time he was seated, took the reins of his hitch…Saying, “Take me home Rudolph, this night’s been a bitch!”…
The sleigh was near gone when we heard Santa shout…”The best thing about sex is that it never wears out!” MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!HO HO HO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LITTLE JOE’S LEATHER THE BEST HOLIDAY GREETING–The official leather contributor to the Sons of Anarchy television series. All American made and tough as nails.

TECH QUESTION OF THE WEEK–Do brake rotors need to be on the same side of the bike front and rear?
no
I guess it really doesn?t. I always saw them on opposite sides when the run them single front and rear. I assumed (I know)that if had something to do with balance of loads during braking. But when you look at it common sense wise it really is not that big of a force.
Since we have @ 30 inches of snow on the ground and another 12-14 inches forecasted for the next two days I can only dream of riding. Snow blower is getting more hours on it than the snowmobile. Wisconsin weather is the best. Here is a photo of this morning after I cleaned up the driveway. At least in So. Cal. you know it will melt in the foreseeable future. We have to deal with this shit until April!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.

BIKERNET WORKS WITH INDUSTRY TO KEEP US FREE–Irvine, California, December 16, 2008: Keith R. Ball, President of Bikernet.com met with Tim Buche, President of the MIC, Grady Phieffer, GH Marketing and Ted Sands of Performance Machine regarding the viability of an aftermarket motorcycle support group. Recently during these tough economic times an opportunity surfaced to create a motorcycle aftermarket group under the umbrella of SEMA, the aftermarket industry group for the Hot Rod and automotive industry, which represents over 7,500 members. “Timing is everything,” said Ball. “Years ago this was attempted, but the motorcycle industry lacked a unified voice. Fortunately we still have this opportunity to step up, band together and protect our industry through SEMA or the MIC.”
In this economic climate SEMA brings a large variety of services and benefits to the custom motorcycle aftermarket, the builders, dealers and the motorcycle rights groups such as the MRF (Motorcycle Riders Foundation):

“This was especially exciting for me because I was a charter member of the ARMO Council that represents the automotive restoration market,” said Seth Doulton, President of Horsepower Productions. “I served on and headed up the licensing and OE relations committee, and I can tell you first hand that it was the best thing in my 35 years in the market place to ever come down the road. The restoration industry has benefited three fold by the networking that is strengthened by SEMA’s leadership and power. The motorcycle industry has needed this for many years. We need to build a strong team so that SEMA knows we are for real.”
Another meeting is scheduled during the Cincy V-Twin Expo show to discuss this effort with the Industry, SEMA and MIC members, Sunday, February 8, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. This is a not-to-be- missed meeting during the biggest aftermarket trade show for the custom motorcycle industry.
“This could be the chance of a lifetime for our industry,” said Ball. “Especially in this current economic climate, but it’s up to us to get involved.” This committee will be open to any members of our industry on the American or Metric side, manufacturers, clubs, shops, dealers, builders or individuals. A major goal of this committee will be to support motorcycle rights groups around the world including the MRF with 60 state charters and 250,000 members. “Our primary goal is to keep the custom industry free and vibrant in the coming years,” Ball said.
