HOSPITAL STORIES ON BIKERNET–Here’s just a taste, check the rest in Knucklebusters:
The Surgeon’s Note.
A nurse was on duty in the emergency room when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos and wearing strange clothing, entered. It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for immediate surgery.
When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read, “Keep off the grass.” Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient’s dressing, which said “Sorry, had to mow the lawn.”?
MAILMAN WINS SEATTLE INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY– OK, it was a small victory in a field of only four bikes, but he took the prize money, all $21, and a plaque to boot, beating out his good buddy Doc Ford (ex-modified racer) for the win.?
He was very pleased with the times his bike was turning, mostly 10.8s and 10.9s. When asked how he felt about the upcoming Vegas drags, he responded, “I’m ready!”
For all the drag racing ladders and coverage, see the “Down the Track” section on Bikernet.

SONNY BARGER UPDATE–The tragedies of Sept. 11 have not and will not dampen the American free spirit. If that happened, the terrorists would have won. We take pride in the overwhelming display of unity and patriotism at this time of grief and outrage.
Sonny is setting an example right now, riding 5,300 miles through the heartland and sharing the brotherhood of the road. He will make public appearances in Memphis, Jackson and Nashville, Tenn.; Charlotte and Durham, N.C.; Greenville and Columbia, S.C.; the All-Harley Drags in Rockingham, N.C.; Durham Harley-Davidson; and Biketoberfest in Daytona Beach, Fla. Please forward this message to anyone you may know in these locations to let them know the American legend will be there to see them waving the flag.

Over a year ago, most people answered “no” to the poll question “Are you willing to give up personal freedoms in return for a safer society?” Now that the issue is before us in light of new events, let’s see if opinion has shifted:http://sonnybarger.com/poll
REPORT FROM BIKERNET SQUADRON MEMBER–I spent almost 3 years in Germany back in the 70=92s and got to do some traveling. One of the guys in our company actually had relatives in Amsterdam! They do like to party there. Even got to return for a couple of weeks for Reforger (war games) right before I got out. By then I was stationed at Fort Hood. Still was able to visit a lot of folks I had known.
My father had been stationed at the same post I was in Germany only 20 years earlier and two buildings up from mine.
I have attached an image of some of my other toys.
