January 6, 2009] Jasmine Cain is known as “the Pixie with an Axe” according to Dave Nichols, Editor-in-Chief of Easyriders Magazine because of this diminutive rocker’s fiery bass playing chops and five octave vocal range.

CANADIAN LEGISLATIVE UPDATE– Long time lurker but soon to be subscriber to the Cantina. Along with the anticipation of reading the Thursday news, I follow a lot of your legislative issues very closely when it comes to the biker community in general and you do an awesome job of keeping the information flowing. I thought you might get a kick out of some of the shenanigans we face up here north of your borders.
We have a private members bill that just went to a 2nd reading (Ontario Bill 117) to amend our Highway Traffic Act regarding child passengers under the age of 14. Now bear in mind, there are already measures in place within the Highway Traffic Act in regards to children as passengers on motorcycles. What’s frightening here is the member’s statistics don’t seem to add up.
The General Manager of the Canada Safety Council indicated he could not find any fatality statistics for motorcycle passengers less than 14 years of age, bringing the stats used by the Member of Parliament into question. I guess I’ll just fit a sidecar to the bagger! Here’s the link for your amusement: http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/house-proceedings/house_detail.do?Date=2008-12-04&Parl=39&Sess=1&locale=en#P623_166526
This follows legislation (regulation 455/07) introduced last year cramping down on so-called “Stunting”. One individual caught lane splitting, which is illegal here and already provisioned for in our Highway Traffic Act, was charged under this new law and faced an automatic 7 day suspension of his license, automatic 7 day impound of his motorcycle, and additional fines. Basically, charged and convicted right there by the roadside, all without due process or even a means to avoid this punishment prior to having the case heard.
In the first 6 months of the new law (up to April 1st, 2008) a total of 1,080 charges have been laid. Of that, a mere 325 were convicted of the actual stunting charge with the rest either pleading to a lesser charge or had their cases dismissed entirely. That’s 755 people who are a $1000 down, and have had to live without a licence for a week without any recourse whatsoever, excluding lost time at work and the fact that if you ever have to shop for insurance, you are now on record as having your license been suspended.
Anyway, thanks for offering such a great web-site and look for my Cantina subscription shortly!

BIKERNET MEDICAL PATIENT REQUESTS SECOND OPINION–The doctor said, ‘Joe, the good news is I can cure your headaches. The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press on your spine and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles.’
Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He had no choice but to go under the knife. When he left the hospital, he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life.
He saw a men’s clothing store and thought, ‘That’s what I need… A new suit.’
He entered the shop and told the salesman, ‘I’d like a new suit.’
The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, ‘Let’s see… size 44 long.’
Joe laughed, ‘That’s right, how did you know?’
‘Been in the business 60 years!’ the tailor said.
Joe tried on the suit it fit perfectly.
As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, ‘How about a new shirt?’ Joe thought for a moment and then said, ‘Sure.’
The salesman eyed Joe and said, ‘Let’s see, 34 sleeves and 1 6-1/2 neck.’
Joe was surprised, ‘That’s right, how did you know?’
‘Been in the business 60 years.’
Joe tried on the shirt and it fit perfectly.
Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, ‘How about some new underwear?’
Joe thought for a moment and said, ‘Sure.’
The salesman said, ‘Let’s see… size 36.
Joe laughed, ‘Ah ha! I got you! I’ve worn a size 34 since I was 18 years old.’
The salesman shook his head, ‘You can’t wear a size 34. A size 34 would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache.’
New suit – $400
New shirt – $36
New underwear – $6
Second Opinion – PRICELESS

BIKERNET PHOTOG GRABS FEATURES AT DAVID MANN CHOPPERFEST–This are 3 bikes from the Chopper fest I am working on right now to photograph. Are they good for you, and any with a model?

THAT’S A NEWS COLUMN–We hit the news after our first cup of coffee, at 8:00 in the morning, and we don’t give up until the last code is slipped into place and the column is launched for the world of motorcycling to dissect. Last year our high month witnessed 380,000 riders and riderettes come to Bikernet, in a month, and visit over 600,000 times. In December we had 270,000 unique users who visited 432,000 times. We watch our growth every month. Maybe we’ll crest 400,000 monthly readers in 2009.
Right this minute I need to catch up on bike features. I recently completed this stellar Cleveland restoration story for American Iron. If I write a feature for a magazine, I won’t publish it on Bikernet until it hits the newsstands. I’m also working on a Tom Foster hot rod Evo feature, a feature on Roger Goldammer’s World Championship Winner, a vintage custom Sportster by Ronald MacDonald. Wait until you see the detail workmanship in this bike. Damn, I need to write the cover story for Kara and Spencer for Cycle Source, and a Bikernet Reader built an Indian Larry tribute bike. I just need to write the feature.
Regarding techs, I’ll work on another JIMS tool tech, all about headwork this weekend. We may have a winner for the Street Walker touring bike exhaust system holiday contest and an install tech is headed your way. Speaking of exhaust, we have a set of D&D 2009 touring exhaust slip-ons and a Zippers Peformance air cleaner. Fullerton, California H-D and Bennett’s Performance have confirmed the install for next week including dyno testing. We have Part 5 of the Brass Balls/Iron Works/Bikernet Give-away bike build. Bikernet will also deliver on a tech describing every aspect, but the secrets involving the SuperMax rear pulley life-saving repair system. It’s amazing and can fix any billet or worn-out stock pulley. Plus the belt will never squeak again.
I may also have another chapter of the 5-Ball Factory Racer build completed, but I need to build another railing for my dear old mom’s house. I need to clear off the lift. See the girls featured in the news? They’re all from Australia and have something to do with Paul Yaffe. See the interview next week. That’s it for this second. Let’s get the hell outta here.
Ride Forever,
–Bandit
