I wish I had exciting news to report for this beautiful Sunday, however the sun is shining and I want to make this as brief as possible and get back outside.
Some news is circulating about the Hell Raisers Ball in Long Island turning into a war zone. It wouldn?t do me any good to post what has been released in the news, as I don?t think it would be an accurate account of what transpired. Only those who were there know the true story, however, it?s sad to know that with so many Americans fighting on foreign soil for our freedom, we are fighting amongst ourselves. During these unpredictable times it would be nice to count on one thing, brotherhood. What a joke.
On a lighter note, I attended the Trailblazers MC 58th Annual Hall Of Fame Banquet in Buena Park, Calif., last night. Our fiery little redhead, Cindy Rutherford of Century Motorcycles, was inducted into their Hall Of Fame. This little lady has been featured a few times on Bikernet because of her spunk, personality and lifetime commitment to the sport of motorcycling. Never at a loss for words or jokes, we witnessed a first last night as we watched Cindy receive her award and stand before us speechless. She quickly overcame her stage fright and in Huzzy One?s true fashion, told some jokes that had the whole place in tears. Her parting words were, ?I didn?t know when I became involved in this business I?d be receiving an award, I just did it because of the men!?
Cindy is a special lady who deserves all the reverence. I?m honored that she considers me her friend and I feel special to have been invited to witness her acceptance of such an honor.
Oh boy, it’s time for Bike Week in Daytona and we are excited. Well, I mean we kind of stay excited, and that might not have anything to do with Bike Week….we might just be perverts……oh well, I know some of the staff here are perverts…but I won’t name names…
Come see us at the White Eagle in Corona on March 8. (That’s on the road to Bunnell, out past the Iron Horse, past the interstate.) We’ll be crowning the Dixie Darling of 2001 that night, and it will either be Dixie Deb or Daisy. The crowd will be the judge.. (After that mess with the Olympics I ain’t taking any chances, because if you think the French judge was easily corrupted, you ain’t met me yet!)
The best biker video company we know, BACK-OFF Biker Video, has promised to have a camera there and maybe, just maybe, we’ll make their next video! That means you might too!
Another new rally this year will be held in New Iberia Louisiana. The Louisiana Purchase Rally will be held right after Bike Week in Daytona, March 14-17. Food, music, a high dollar poker run and a ton of fun! If you hurry you can save $10 on pre-registration. Be sure to tell em Dixie Rider sent ya!
Yes! It’s final. (I hope) The 2nd Annual Iron Cavalry Reunion will be held in the little North Georgia town of Helen again this year, May 31, June 1-2. Last year, 3,000 of you rowdy bikers showed up and we had a blast! (Uh…I didn’t mean that everybody was rowdy…just that gang from Easyriders in Atlanta and Augusta!) For more info on Helen, visit www.helenga.org We don’t have the final details about the bands or the discount motel rooms yet, but I’ll let you know in a couple of weeks…..if you want to check out some pics from last year’s event visit

Spanking of….I mean speaking of events…Harley-Davidson of Clayton County in Morrow/Atlanta, Ga., will be having its grand opening party March 11-16. Stop by and see them on your way back from Bike Week. www.h-dofclaytonco.com/
Speaking of Spanking….that spicy celebrity, Biker Billy, who cooks with fire, talked to me last week in Indianapolis at the National Motorcycle Dealer Expo. He told me that he is putting together a new book entitled “Hog Wild on a Harley” and invited me to submit some of my favorite recipes for possible inclusion in the book. After a couple of beers, (well, maybe a couple of dozen) I had a brainstorm, fell off my stool, broke my glasses, bruised my hip.. stubbed my toe, …..uh..where was I going with this?….oh yeah, I had a brainstorm….I thought, “Why not let our readers submit their recipes and get the publicity?” (Hey, I get my name in print enough……on the Post Office walls, in the “arrested last weekend section” of the local paper and down at the all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet…where I was banned for eating too many egg rolls at one sitting.)
So, if you want to submit your favorite recipe, here’s what you do:
Submit recipes online until March 25, 2002, at www.bikerbilly.com/home.tpl. Click the recipe submission icon. Please read the release form before you hit the submit button, to indicate that you accept these terms.
BE SURE TO MENTION THAT YOU’RE A DIXIE RIDER READER! THAT GETS YOU SPECIAL TREATMENT! And only authentic Southern recipes please! Whatever you submit to Billy, please submit to me so that I can see which ones he picks.
So, that’s all the news that I have right now…I’ve bugged you enough…if you make it to Daytona, be sure and come to see us at the White Eagle, and if not, then come to H-D of Clayton County on March 16.
Blond Handy Woman
A blonde, wanting to earn some extra money, decided to hire herself out as a ‘handy-woman,’ and started canvassing a nearby well-to-do neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house, and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do.
“Well, you can paint my porch,” he said. “How much will you charge me?”
The blonde, after looking about, responded, “How about $50?”
The man agreed, and told her that the paint and other materials that she might need were in the garage.
The man’s wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, “Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?”
The man replied, “She should, she was standing on it. Do you think she’s that dumb?”
“No …. I guess I’m guilty of being influenced by all the ‘dumb blonde’ joke e-mails we’ve been receiving.”
A short time later the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
“You’re finished already?” the husband asked.
“Yes,” the blonde replied, “and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats.”
Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50.
“And by the way,” the blonde added, “it’s not a Porsche, it’s a Lexus.”
USA
That?s it for the Sunday Post——The good news is, Bandit is on his way home. It may take another month or so but the ship has a few more stops to make before they head back to the USA.
Have a great week!
