THE CHARLIE BRECHTEL BOOZE FIGHTER REPORT–Bill Hayes here…I’m the one who has been working a lot with Charlie Brechtel…Charlie mentioned that you might have a line or two on publishers who might be interested in biker subjects…I have just completed the book, “The Original Wild Ones”…about the legendary Boozefighters MC…it has been a two-year project…the book is also accompanied by a 47-minute professionally-produced DVD featuring interviews with three of the surviving original members…guys who were in Hollister in ’47…any help you could steer this way would sure be appreciated…

BIKERNET AUSTRALIAN REPORT– Just a short note to say I had a great trip and it looks like they are going to give me a 4-year visa instead of 12 months which will save a lot of mucking around. We booked the Harley for our trip at the end of August, really looking forward to that. You won’t know yourselves when all the work is finished at the headquarters and you get back to a normal life (whatever that is ). The Pan is coming together slowly, I will get more photos and a rundown on my trip, also a review on some music as soon as I get my arse into gear. Kerry says Hi and hope you are both in good health and great spirits.
Best Regards,
Glenn.

READ ORWELL–HERE’S THE PIZZA 2008 LESSON– Operator: “Thank you for calling Pizza Hut. May I have your national ID number?”
Customer: “Hi, I’d like to place an order.”
Operator: “I must have your NIDN first, sir”
Customer: “My National ID Number, yeah, hold on, eh, it’s 6102049998-45-54610.”
Operator: “Thank you, Mr. Sheehan. I see you live at 1742 Meadowland Drive, and the phone number’s 494-2366. Your office number over at Lincoln Insurance is 745-2302 and your cell number’s 266-2566. Email address is sheehan@ home.net. Which number are you calling from, sir?”
Customer: “Huh? I’m at home. Where d’ya get all this information?”
Operator: “We’re wired into the HSS, sir.”
Customer: “The HSS, what is that?”
Operator: “We’re wired into the Homeland Security System, sir. This will add only 15 seconds to your ordering time”
Customer: (Sighs) “Oh, well, I’d like to order a couple of your All-Meat Special pizzas.
Operator: “I don’t think that’s a good idea, sir.”
Customer: “Whaddya mean?”
Operator: “Sir, your medical records and commode sensors indicate that you’ve got very high blood pressure and extremely high cholesterol. Your National Health Care provider won’t allow such an unhealthy choice.”
Customer: “What?!?! What do you recommend, then?”
Operator: “You might try our low-fat Soybean Pizza. I’m sure you’ll like it.”
Customer: “What makes you think I’d like something like that?”
Operator: “Well, you checked out ‘Gourmet Soybean Recipes’ from your local library last week, sir. That’s why I made the suggestion.”
Customer: “All right, all right. Give me two family-sized ones, then.”
Operator: “That should be plenty for you, your wife and your four kids, and your 2 dogs can finish the crusts, sir. Your total is $49.99.”
Customer: “Lemme give you my credit card number.”
Operator: “I’m sorry sir, but I’m afraid you’ll have to pay in cash. Your credit card balance is over its limit.”
Customer: “I’ll run over to the ATM and get some cash before your driver gets here.”
Operator: “That won’t work either, sir. Your checking account’s overdrawn also.”
Customer: “Never mind! Just send the pizzas. I’ll have the cash ready. How long will it take?”
Operator: “We’re running a little behind, sir. It’ll be about 45 minutes, sir. If you’re in a hurry you might want to pick ’em up while you’re out getting the cash, but then, carrying pizzas on a motorcycle can be a little awkward.”
Customer: “Wait! How do you know I ride a scooter?”
Operator: “It says here you’re in arrears on your car payments, so your car got repo’ed. But your Harley’s paid for and you just filled the tank yesterday”
Customer: Well I’ll be a “@#%/$@&?#!”
Operator: “I’d advise watching your language, sir. You’ve already got a July 4, 2006 conviction for cussing out a cop and another one I see here in September for contempt at your hearing for cussing at a judge.” “Oh yes I see here that you just got out from a 90 day stay in the State Correctional Facility. Is this your first pizza since your return to society?”
Customer: (Speechless)
Operator: “Will there be anything else, sir?”
Customer: “Yes, I have a coupon for a free 2 liter of Coke”.
Operator: “I’m sorry sir, but our ad’s exclusionary clause prevents us from offering free soda to diabetics. The New Constitution prohibits this.
Thank you for calling Pizza Hut!”

NEW HARLEY-DAVIDSON COMBINATION SPEEDOMETER/TACHOMETER–Mount A Tach Without Cluttering The Handlebar Area– MILWAUKEE (May 15, 2004) The new Combination Speedometer/Tachometer (P/N 74549-04, $449.95) from Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Accessories allows the owner to add a tach to monitor engine speed without installing a separate gauge housing on the motorcycle. The analog tachometer sweeps across the lower portion of the gauge face.
The backlit face aids night-time viewing, and the easy-to-read LCD odometer/tripmeter remains visible when the ignition is turned off. The unit mounts in the stock dash opening on the tank-mounted console and is a direct plug-in installation for 2004-later Dyna Wide Glide, Softail and Road King models.
For additional information on Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Accessories see your local Harley-Davidson dealer or visit the Harley-Davidson web site at www.harley-davidson.com. To find a dealer near you, call toll free 1-800-443-2153 in the U.S.A. or Canada.
BIKERNET ZEN TEACHINGS–Do not walk behind me, for I may notlead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I maynot follow. Do not walk beside me either.Just pretty much leave me the h e l l alone.

WE’RE BURNIN’ DAYLIGHT–Shit is flying around here and I’m as excited as a kid with this first Harley. I can’t wait to set up the shop. When it’s complete we look forward to more Baker tech articles. Next week, hook, or goddamn crook, we’re puttting together a BDL/Compu-Fire tech when we install the latest BDL Belt Drive System on a Bikernet Door Prize Winner’s Softail.
Rogue, in Florida, is working on a Bassini slip on muffler tech and test. We should have it in the next couple of weeks.
In the meantime I’m the grunt helping haul lumber to get the job done. Whatever it takes.
Have a great weekend.
