EYE CANDY CUSTOM CYCLES PANHEAD SPORT BIKE–This was my Panhead sportbike project. I have since bought a house and had tosell the Panhead engine. Looks like it may end up being a Shovelhead.
They make some killer taillights. I ran the ’59 Cadillac on my Sturgis chop and I’m running the horizontal Model A design on the new Panhead Sportbike.–Bandit

BIKERNET WATER STUDY…… It has been scientifically proven that if we drink 1 litre of Water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of escherichia coli bacteria found in feces, in other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of Doo Doo.
However, we do not run that risk when drinking rum, whiskey, beer or Other liquors because alcohol has to go through a distillation process of Boiling, filtering and fermenting.
It is my duty to communicate to all of you people who are drinking water, to STOP doing so, it has been scientifically proven that it is UNHEALTHY and BAD for you.
WATER = Doo Doo
ALCOHOL = HEALTH
Free yourself of Doo Doo, drink ALCOHOL!!!
It is better to drink alcohol and talk Doo Doo than to drink water and be full of shit.
HERE ENDITH THE LESSON

WOMAN GETS BEER FROM HER KITCHEN FAUCET–OSLO, Norway – It almost seemed like a miracle to Haldis Gundersen when she turned on her kitchen faucet this weekend and found the water had turned into beer.
Two flights down, employees and customers at the Big Tower Bar were horrified when water poured out of the beer taps.
By an improbable feat of clumsy plumbing, someone at the bar in Kristiandsund, western Norway, had accidentally hooked the beer hoses to the water pipes for Gundersen’s apartment.
“We had settled down for a cozy Saturday evening, had a nice dinner, and I was just going to clean up a little,” Gundersen, 50, told The Associated Press by telephone Monday. “I turned on the kitchen faucet and beer came out.”
However, Gundersen said the beer was flat and not tempting, even in a country where a half-liter (pint) can cost about 25 kroner ($3.75) in grocery stores.

HELLBOUND STEEL CONSOLIDATES OWNERSHIP–Hellbound Steel Motorcycles, a leading producer of custom production motorcycles, has consolidated its ownership to principals that are directly involved with the production of their motorcycles. As outlined by Mike Molloy, President and Co-Founder, Paul Cavallo, who was a co-founder of HBS, has sold his, interest in HBS to concentrate on his other company, American Made MFG., which is also a supplier to HBS. Mike Salyer, currently VP of Production, has now purchased a stake in the corporation.
Mr. Salyer will assume the duties of Executive Vice President. He came to HBS from American Made Mfg. in 2002 and has guided HBS from its infancy to a production volume of 500 units in 2005. His target for HBS in fiscal 2006 is 650-750 units. Mike Molloy has been the driving force in obtaining Canadian and Australian certification for HBS motorcycles and is now working with the importers to establish dealer networks in both of those countries. Mike Molloy said that he could not have accomplished the expansion into the international market without the support he gets in the day to day operations from his partner Mike Salyer.
Hellbound Steel is the first U.S. production custom motorcycle manufacture to obtain Australian certification.
Hellbound Motorcycles are available through select motorcycle dealers. For further information and to find the closest Hellbound Steel Motorcycle dealer call, FAX or write: Hellbound Steel Motorcycles, 8613 Helms Ave. Rancho Cucamonga, CA. 91730

ROCKY’S NEW SOLO SEAT SPRINGS–The Devil girl II Bikernet Tech came out killer. I am still doing the David Mann Seat still. I have just been really really busy, I am going to document the DM seat also. So I can do another article.
It will be mounted on my new stainless steel pans. I also have a new product, They are called Kleen Springs. What do you think? They are totally adjustable as far as mounting goes (they can be mounted on top of the frame rail or on the side for a lower stance.

They’re killer. I want to test a set out, maybe on our 120-inch Pan that I’ll ride to Sturgis. We’ll report on the installation and how well they work.–Bandit
BIKERNET MOTORCYCLE NOISE TESTING SCHEME–The concept is that, like emergency vehicles, motorcycles need to make noise–they’re vulnerable.Motorcycles have but two means of protection, sight (and you know how that goes) and sound.So we need to develop a sound level that can be heard from 3-5 car lengths behind a car with the windows rolled up and radio playing. That sound level must be heard across an intersection so a motorist can hopefully see and hear a motorcycle coming across an intersection. They also need to be heard a block away, so a motorist knows that a motorcycle is coming up on an intersection from a side street.
We can easily prove that between 70-85 percent of all accidents are cause by car drivers and if we curb motorcycle noise we will kill motorcyclists.
We can also prove that (and I would like to do testing to support it), as you experience noise daily, like trucks constantly (see noise levels above), that motorcycles only make up a small, brief percentage of that noise, so let ’em be.
Our exception to the above will be excessive use of noise in residential areas after 10:00 p.m., and through the MRF I’ve found that Daytona cops created a anti-revving ordinance. They only ticket abusers who overtly make excessive noise.
Brett Smith from S&S suggested that universal testing and equipment be established and I agreed. Unfortunately the cost to have every cop carry the same meter and use it under the same circumstances every time may not be cost effective or practical.
I’ve run this concept and notions by NCOM, the MRF, ABATE, SEMA representatives, a senator and Bikernet Readers. They all applaud the notion. One reader, Paul, suggested that to admit that we are vulnerable could mean the end of motorcycling. We need to handle that aspect carefully. On the other hand, I spoke to freedom fighters across the country and they believe strongly, that we must stay right in the face of legislators, which if we acquiesce, try to hide, we’ll be toast, quick. One guy said, “We’re the Indians, now. We need to keep up the fight.”
If we can create the first platform for this and create a ground-swell of activity, we can hopefully accomplish the following:
Additional testing and implementation by higher ups
Continued motorcycle freedom
Heightened motorcycle awareness
Maybe save a life or two
Keep the bastards off our backs
I’ll report back as we begin testing.
Don’t hesitate to drop me a line or discuss this in our Bikernet Forum department.

NEW PHOTOGS ATTACK DAYTONA–So here’s the deal: we’re not exactly fresh out of college, we’ve been around, beenhere, been there, done this, done that. But we are new in this particular business.This is our first attempt at shooting a serious bike rally. We are quite new in our otherbusiness as well: music photography. We started that one a year ago. But sincethen we’ve worked for quite a few artists, both famous and not so famous. And frankly,we finally both decided that this is what we wanna do the rest of our lives.
So, hopefully you like these collages of some of our Bike Week 2006 photos.
