The Carlini Code,
The Secret Cantina Society had a meeting recently about the new Bikernet Television effort. They see it as a venue to search for the ultimate bike part, but the only clues available are found in the Carlini Code, which is buried in the Holy Grill somewhere in the state of Louisiana, the state famous for outdoor cooking. It?s rumored to be located in a Dick Allen slug turned hollow in the late ?50s and sold to Arlen Ness who used it on a psychedelic Sportster and sold it to a French Quarter acid freak. The bike was later wrecked and turned into an outdoor barbecue. The research continues as the curse unfolds.
We interrogated Sadam for clues, but he was such a tough nut to crack we hung him. One of his sons had a motorcycle collection and apparently a clue rests in a saddlebag. Tom Hanks is on the case.
You can tell already, Bikernet and specifically Bandit?s Cantina is headed towards new frontiers for 2007. Hang on. Let?s hit the New Years Eve News:
NEW BIKERNET SPONSORS–Several New sponsors have jumped on board just before the year end deadline including Sturgis County Line and Brass Balls Choppers. Sponsorship rates will still be cheap compared to magazines, but we hadn?t raised them in three years and our readership is up 285 percent.

FOR GENERAL & SPONSORSHIP INFORMATION: FOR MORE INFORMATION AND UPDATES GOTO : WWW.NITROSYNDICATE.COM ASSALT WEAPON THOUGHTS FROM OFFICIAL CONCEPT ILLUSTRATION/DESIGNER– Always thinking and looking at stuff. Did a search on the web and was surprised at how hard it was to find good shots of drag bikes. I know we’re not building a drag bike but I think many of the same principals of attaining speed apply. The bikes seem to have no problem with length or stretch and are LOW with lots of rake. The riders are in quite a prone riding position on some machines. Take note of some of the cool fender seat combinations. Check out the photo of the silver bike being pushed. It’s the same bike as picture #3. How cool is that? Can you run a air dam/oil tank in front of the motor? We might consider dropping the seat height or lower the backbone on the current drawing. –CGK HAPPY GAWD DAM NEW YEAR– Wishing everyone a great new year, and I hope you can make it to Panstock III – Date is set for 7-7-07 New Jersey’s coolest Panhead Party! THE DEVIL WORKS ALL YEAR LONG–Check it out the Lucky Devil style Deuce next to a near stock one, it has a Hartland rear fender kit and I molested the tank, fabricated the dash from scratch and cleaned up the controls a little. This was the X-mass project I was telling you about. Hope all is well with you and yours for the nude year! Take care,

CUSTOM CHROME INTRODUCE 2007 REVTECH WHEELS— Morgan Hill, CA? The latest wheels in the RevTech? lineup delivers three all new CAD-designed, CNC-machined forged billet wheels to the industry?s longest running wheel program.
?I was just a kid when Custom Chrome rocked the Harley? aftermarket with custom aluminum wheels? said Rich Fulk, one of the product evangelists at Custom Chrome and who was deeply involved in developing the designs. ?It?s been a kick and an honor to work on these designs and watch them go from computer screen to real machined wheels.?
Custom Chrome introduced its first aluminum wheel in 1988, making 2007 the 20th year for the successful and innovative RevTech wheel lineup. All wheels are CNC-machined from forged billet aluminum, then polished and chrome-plated to excellence. Utilizing a modular design results in a matching wheel with a hub specifically designed for different model and year applications. Modular billet hubs are also noteworthy due to the use of sealed wheel bearings to minimize maintenance requirements and improve performance. This is true even for older Harley-Davidson? models which originally came without sealed bearings.
Another factor separating RevTech wheels from many other manufacturers is the testing RevTech wheels undergo. German T?V requirements are some of the most difficult in the world. The first 12 RevTech examples of each new designs were sent to Frankfurt, Germany to be run through exhaustive tests required to meet T?V certification. ?This ensures our wheels are not only beautiful to look at, but safe to ride on,? said Holger Mohr, President, Custom Chrome.
?The entire team at Custom Chrome has worked hard this year getting a lot of new products like RevTech wheels ready for dealers and their customers,? continued Mohr. ?Everyone will definitely find something their bike needs to look or perform better in the Custom Chrome 2007 product line-up.?

WEATHER WAKE-UP CALL– (This text is from a County Emergency Manager out in the central part of Colorado after last week’s devastating snowstorm.)
WEATHER BULLETIN
Up here, in the Northern Plains, we just recovered from a Historic event — may I even say a “Weather Event” of “Biblical Proportions” — with a historic blizzard of up to 44″ inches of snow and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10’s of thousands.
FYI:
George Bush did not come.
FEMA did nothing.
No one howled for the government.
No one blamed the government.
No one even uttered an expletive on TV ..
Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit.
Our Mayor did not blame Bush or anyone else.
Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else, either.
CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX or NBC did not visit – or report on this category 5 snowstorm.
Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.
No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House.
No one looted.
Nobody – I mean Nobody – demanded the government do something.
Nobody expected the government to do anything, either.
No Larry King, No Bill O’Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No Geraldo Rivera.
No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand, No Hollywood types to be found.
Nope, we just melted the snow for water…
Sent out caravans of SUV’s to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars…
The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn’t ask for a penny…
Local restaurants made food and the police and fire departments delivered it to the snow-bound families…
Families took in the stranded people – total strangers…
We fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman lanterns…
We put on extra layers of clothes because up here it is “Work or Die”…
We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of a mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes for ‘sittin at home’ checks.
Even though a Category “5” blizzard of this scale has never fallen this early,& amp; nbsp;we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.
“In my many travels, I have noticed that once one gets north of about 48 degrees North Latitude, 90% of the world’s social problems evaporate.”
It does seem that way, at least to me.
Maybe SOME people will get the message. The world does Not owe you a living.

BIZARRE HISTORY FOUND IN THE CANTINA ARCHIVES–Many will recall that on July 8, 1947, witnesses claimed that an unidentified object with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico.
This is a well-known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and the federal government.
However, you may NOT know that in the month of March 1948, exactly nine months after that historic day, Albert Arnold Gore, Jr., Hillary Rodham, John F. Kerry, William Jefferson Clinton, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, Charles E. Schumer, and Barbara Boxer were born.
See what happens when aliens breed with sheep..
This piece of information may clear up a lot of things. Wait a minute. This just in: Bandit was born in March of 1948. One of the Aliens must have bred with a rattlesnake.
–from Robin Hartfiel
HAPPY NEW YEAR, GODDAMNIT–I mean it. No bullshit, no pats on the back. This is straight from an old outlaw?s heart. I truly believe 2007 is destined to be a very special year and positive on all fronts. Sure, we need to work hard and keep the faith, but this will be a year where constant and never-ending hardwork pays off.
If you don?t believe me talk to my brothers, Larry and Bob. They?ll be back at Bonneville this year. Think about the year coming. The Iraq business will be handled. Cancer will be cured. New innovations will unfold. Our industry will rock. Bikernet 5-Ball racing may set another record. Amazing. Even the weather will relax.
Ya gotta take chances in life and I?m going to publish two books this year, the first in a series of Chance novels, about a biker, natch. The other with Wolfgang publishing on our Bonneville 2007 effort. You can read chapters in our Bikernet Bonneville 2007 department.
And we?re kicking off Bikernet TV with downloads of Billy Lane Features, World?s Fastest Indian and our own ?In Search of the Holy Grill? episodes. I need to find a camera first. We have the crazed actors, writers and one insane director. So hang on, keep the faith, abide by the Code of the West and iron wisdom will rest at your side for another magnificent year.
Ride Forever,
–Bandit
