Sunday June 23rd, we will be launching our 3rd annual CHOC biker rally and Blues festival at the beautiful Hidden valley Park/ Irvine Meadows ( where all the concerts are across from the Irvine Spectrum)and I would like to extend a warm welcome to all Hamsters and their families.
This is being billed as a family event with events and activities for the kids. You can go to the web site at www.chocride.com for a complete breakdown of the days events and entertainment.
Note that 100% of all proceeds go to benefit Childrens Hospital of Orange County. I sit on the board of this not for profit organization that does so much for the children of southern California. We do not turn anyone away based on the inability to pay which is why I proudly serve and support them. Please extend this invitation to all your friends.
Subject: Professional testing
Tough test! Are you a professional?
The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a “professional.” Scroll down for each answer. The questions are NOT that difficult.
1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.
2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator? Wrong answer.
Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant, and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.
3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend?
Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is still in the refrigerator. This tests your memory. OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities.
4. There is a river you must cross but crocodiles inhabit it. How do you manage it?
Correct Answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.
According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals tested got all answers wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this Conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.
While I was in Phoenix for school, Hiro, a Buell guy in my class showed me this easy pull clutch deal made by MRC Clutch. This thing really works good. I put it in my S2 Buell. I have removed the spring plate in the clutch pack and added 2 metal plates and a one additional friction disk. Along with that I added a stronger clutch pressure spring. The lever pressure was a bit stiffer after all this. With the MRC easy clutch installed it reduced the lever pressure at least 30% if not more!!
MRC makes a easy pull clutch mechanism for Big Twins and Sportster/Buell’s. Installation for both models is exactly the same as the stock H-D devices for actuating the clutch.

THE FLY– A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter.
“What are you doing?” She asked.
“Hunting Flies” He responded. “Oh!,
” Killing any?” She asked.
“Yep, 3 males, 2 Females”, he replied.
Intrigued, she asked. “How can you tell?”
He responded, “3 were on a beer can, 2 were on the phone”.

We noticed months ago that the National Guardsmen are merely window dressing. There to make the public feel safer, but not actually able to do anything should a threat occur.
“In addition, working alongside guardsmen in each state were professionally trained law-enforcement officers with loaded weapons, state troopers and airport police in Philadelphia and Port Authority police in New York, officials said.”
So in other words, security was no different than it was pre-Sept 11th, except for the human props dressed like soldiers, paid full salary for by your tax dollars.

Holiday Hours–Hey, it’s a goddamn holiday. Let’s ride, romance and rock. Or at least relax.
It’s time for me to roll over to a bros house and wake him with loud pipes, or I’ve got a better idea. I could pull up to her house about midnight and crawl in the bedroom window. Ride forever–Bandit
