If you’re having any problems with the Bikernet after the Communist Chinese had their way with it, hit Refresh first. If it still doesn’t work, send me a note and we will correct it. Actually back in September of ’07 dozens of German Military computers were infected with spyware manufactured by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. The sophisticated spy software was disguised as PowerPoint or Microsoft Word programs. They appear to be doing this for industrial espionage and you know about the high level of classified, top secret custom shit on Bikernet. It was a major threat to national security and the metal flake gods.
When we called the Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, hepromised to “crack down” on hackers.
So, is this a crazed week or what? I say we fight helmet laws and legalize prostitution. Look at the governor of New York. If it was legal, he coulda got laid and kept his job. Same with President Clinton a few years back. Start a line of sexual clinics and take care of biz.
I listened to a bit about Gun laws recently regarding another school shooting. The subject came up that if kids had guns, maybe they could defend themselves. A cop said, “On no. When we show up how will we know the good guy from the bad?”
That pissed me off. When the cops arrived all the kids were dead. That excuse is bullshit. Besides if some kids were packing and the assailant knew it, he probably wouldn’t attack in the first place. When I was a kid I had to attend the NRA gun-training course before I could fire a gun. I say we afford citizens extensive training and allow concealed gun possession for the safety of our society. Did you know that 4,000 have died in Iraq in four years, yet 17,000 are murdered every year in the United States and 44,000 die in car accidents a year. Gun Laws? I say we ban cars. Motorcycles only goddamnit. Let’s hit the news:

After about an hour,the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. “But why?They asked, as they moved off. “Because,” he said, “I can’t stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer.” –from Buckshot POLICE BIKE FROM ENVY CYCLE–In Dec I sent you a couple of shots of a tight chopper I wasbuilding for an Az police officer. It was in bare metal then, but youposted the shots in the News. I finished thebike and had it in our booth in Cincinnati and now I’m ready to deliverit to my customer. It’s just a simple little chopper, not a big buckbuild, but I think it’s very clean and representative of a time whenbikes were simpler and more fun to ride. –Terry We’ll bring you a full feature next week on Bikernet.–Wrench BIKERNET CULTURAL FINDINGS– A woman has twins and gives them upfor adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named “Ahmal.” The other goes to a family inSpain; they name him “Juan.” Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself tohis birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that shewishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, “They’re twins!If you’ve seen Juan, you’ve seen Ahmal.” –from Rev CarlR MISSING CHICK–Would you happen to know the name of the chick onthis old chopper from the ’70s?Please see attachment. This is not really my field of expertise, but fromwhat I’ve seen in the web, it might be a Ron Finch bike. –Dave F. We have the girl’s name later in the news and I believe the bike wasbuilt by AEE Choppers.–Bandit FAST FUNNELS FROM AMSOIL OIL–They are listed under promotional products in the Amsoil online store. Italked with the makers of Fast Funnels at the Indy Dealer Show and they sentme these pdf files to use as long as they have the fast funnel logoincluded.
