Just back from the LA Calendar show at the Queen Mary in Long Beach. There were hot chicks and even hotter bikes mixed with judging contraversy and reduced numbers. Overall a helluva show and the sex Saturday was over the top. We better get to the news:

Club Brothers Attacked In Oregon We all thought that Eugene was the harassment capitol of Oregon, but it looks like this little town and suburb just east of Portland is in the running now. The Gypsy Joker MC had their strip poker run here. About half were not club riders. The idea was to stop at girly bars here and there to get your next poker card and go on to the next stop. The Gresham police decided that they didn’t want motorcycle clubs in their town – and they even SAID so. They pulled the oldest stunt in the world.
They waited til a small pack went through a green light and some of the last in line MAY have squeezed the yellow or red a little so they pulled the whole pack over. Oh, and with the help of about TWENTY police cars.
As if that isn’t bad enough, they had people on their bellies on the ground, HANDCUFFED for over an hour on a 95-degree day. For an alleged traffic infraction! One biker needed an ambulance from the heat. While they had them down and cuffed, these cowboy cops brandished guns in their faces, and apparently threatened and swore at folks.

Sweet Revenge
This little 10 year-old bo walked down the sidewalk dragging a flattened frog on a string behind him. He walked up to a house of ill repute and knocked on the door.
When the Madam answered it, she saw the little boy and asked what he wanted. He said, “I want to have sex with one of the women inside. I have the money and I’m not leaving until I do.”
The Madam figured, why not. So she told him to come in. Once in, she told him to pick any of the girls he liked.He asked, “Do any of the Girls have any diseases?”
The madam said, “I don’t believe so.”
He said, “I heard all the men talking about having to get shots after making it with Amber. THAT’S the girl I want!” Since the little boy was so adamant and had the money to pay for it the Madam told him to go to the first room on the right. So he headed down the hall dragging the squashed frog behind him.
A while later he came back, still dragging the frog, paid the Madam, and headed out the door. The Madam stopped him and asked, “Why did you pick the only girl in the place with a disease, instead of one of the others?”
He said, “Well, if you must know, tonight when I get home, my parents are going out to a restaurant to eat, leaving me at home with my baby-sitter. After they leave, my baby-sitter will have sex with me because she just happens to be very fond of little boys. She will get the disease that I just caught.”
“When Mom and Dad get back, Dad will take the baby-sitter home. On the way, he’ll jump the baby-sitter’s bones, and he’ll catch the disease. “Then when Dad gets home from the baby-sitter’s, he and Mom will go to bed and have sex, and Mom will catch it. In the morning when Dad goes to work, the Milkman will deliver the milk, have a quickie with Mom and catch the disease, and HE’S the son-of-a-bitch who ran over my FROG!”

The End of the Line for Penthouse?
The once high-flying skin magazine may soon cease publication. Even the mansion is at risk. Penthouse Magazine, long a staple of adolescent fantasies and a favorite topic of discussion for Howard Stern, soon may disappear from the publishing world. What?s more, by next week Penthouse founder Bob Guccione could lose his fabled Penthouse Mansion, a century-old residence that is one of the largest private homes in Manhattan.–By Seth Mnookin NEWSWEEK WEB EXCLUSIVE
Three guys were sitting in a bar talking. One was a Doctor, one was a Lawyer and one was a Biker.
After a sip of his martini, the doctor said, “You know, tomorrow is my anniversary. I got my wife a diamond ring and a new Mercedes. I figure that if she doesn’t like the diamond ring, she will at least like the Mercedes, and she will know that I love her.”
After finishing his scotch, the lawyer replied; “Well, on my last anniversary I got my wife a string of pearls and a trip to the Bahamas. I figured if she didn’t like the pearls, she would at least like the trip, and she would know that I love her.”
The Biker then took a big swig from his beer, and said, “Yeah, well for my anniversary, I got my old lady a tee-shirt and a vibrator. I figured if she didn’t like the tee-shirt, she could go fuck herself.

Indian’s Rise Of The Machines With Terminator3
July 16, 2003 Gilroy, CA – (MCNW) The newest addition to the Indian Chief motorcycle line, the Chief T3 Limited Edition celebrates one of the most memorable movie franchises of American pop culture and Indian Motorcycle Corporation’s return as an American motorcycle original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
Indian motorcycles were chosen to appear in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (www.terminator3.com) as police motorcycles and can be seen in one of the most breathtaking action scenes of movie-making history.
Setting this collector’s edition motorcycle apart from its Chief brethren is an exciting hand-finished graphics scheme that capturers the imagery of the cyborg’s battle to save mankind from total destruction. Each of 50 limited edition motorcycles comes with a unique, custom paint job with no two motorcycles looking exactly alike. The effects applied to the Chief exterior are fast and exciting, as if you were riding the bike through an explosive scene in the movie.
Every Chief T3 LE comes equipped with a unique hand-made T3 leather seat, custom engraved T3 clutch cover and a collector’s plaque with a Certificate of Authenticity. The MSRP of the Indian Chief T3 Limited Edition is $26,995.

A Sunday Post Light–It’s late, the heat is on, the deadline pressure is boiling and I’m burnt. Let’s launch this sucker. I need to hit the gym and sweat out the Jack Daniels from Saturday night. Since the Beach Ride/Custom Chrome bike is nearly completed, we will hit the computers hard this week and bring you a wild new Digital Discovery rare seat find.
Photo example from Mike’s new book “Sturgis”, sold by Motorbooks Int.
I will read and review Mike Lichter’s book while pondering a ride to Barstow to hook up with the Hamster pack heading toward Sturgis (next weekend). We have a tech on the Will Phillips True Tracker.
It’s a devise designed by Will to stabilize dressers. Plus Nick Roberts contributed a hard hitting article on Amsoil Oils. I will also write up a tech piece on the 1928 Shovelhead pipes. The guys at Strokers in Dallas are road testing it.
Hang on, it will be a busy week. Let’s see. Should I have a Margarita or a Bloody Mary.
Ride Forever,
–Bandit
