Hey, I’ve got to run. The martial arts master is rolling over for a putt. He rides a ’62 stretched Pan, and we’re rolling out at noon. I better rock.

LA Calendar Party
Oct. 11th, Los Angeles: A special party to celebrate the 12th anniversary of the Mikuni and Performance Machine sponsored Iron & Lace Custom Bike & Pinup Calendar with famed photographer Jim Gianatsis and the FastDates.com Calendar Angels was a wild blowout success tonight at the exclusive Barfly dinner club on West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip. Our special guests included World Superbike and Iron & Lace Calendar girls Janelle Perzina and Taylor McKegney, together with many of the calendar’s sponsors, celebrity custom bike builders and their crew including Harold Pontarelli of HD Performance, Russell Mitchell of Exile Cycles, Don Chica of Chica Customs, Roland Sands of Performance Machine, and our own LA Calendar Best of Show winner Jesse Rooke of Jesse Rooke Customs.
The evening kicked off with a private dinner party at Barfly for selected FastDates.com Calendar guests featuring the builders’ latest custom bike creations parked throughout the club, and The Making of The FastDates.com Calendar Videos playing on the big screen above the dance floor. By 10pm the club was really jumping with hot dance music and beautiful girls everywhere! 10:30 and the club was packed to capacity, people were waiting in line to get in, pleading to bribe the doormen above the $20 cover charge if they weren’t on the Iron & Lace complimentary guest list.

New Wheel Manufacturer
We make many different kinds of wheels. The hands that make our wheels are some of the same ones that have been building this industry up in the past 15 years. The difference is, we price our wheels below industry standard so working men and women can afford them. We don’t have minimums or hoops for small shops and builders to jump through to get a good deal. Unlike our competition. We support the little guy. I think we’re a company you’d like.

Life explained from Daniel S.
Fatal Illness Alert – And So Simple To Avoid
A stock clerk was sent to clean up a storeroom. When he got back, he was complaining that the storeroom was really filthy and that he had noticed dried mouse or rat droppings in some areas.
A couple of days later, he started to feel like he was coming down with a stomach flu, complained of sore joints and headaches, and began to vomit. He went to bed and never really got up again. Within two days he was severely ill and weak. His blood sugar count was down to 66, and his face and eyeballs were yellow. He was rushed to the emergency, where he was diagnosed to be suffering from massive organ failure. He died shortly before midnight.
No one would have made the connection between his job and his death, had it not been for a doctor who specifically asked if he had been in a warehouse or exposed to dried rat or mouse droppings at any time. They said there is a virus (much like the Hanta virus) that lives in dried rat and mouse droppings. Once dried, these droppings are like dust and can easily be breathed in or ingested if a person does not wear protective gear or fails to wash face and hands thoroughly.
An autopsy was performed on the clerk to verify the doctor’s suspicions.
This is why it is extremely important to ALWAYS carefully rinse off the tops of canned sodas or foods, and to wipe off pasta packaging, cereal boxes, and so on.
Almost everything you buy in a supermarket was stored in a warehouse at one time or another, and stores themselves often have rodents.
The investigation of soda cans by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta discovered that the tops of soda cans can be encrusted with dried rat’s urine, which is so toxic it can be lethal. Canned drinks and other foodstuffs are stored in warehouses and containers that are usually infested with Rodents, and then they get transported to retail outlets without being properly cleaned. Please forward this message to the people you care about.
(I JUST DID!)
Burnin’ Daylight–I’ll actually shave this morning before rolling the King into the sunlight. We’re working with Richard Kransler on another bike project. See illustration above. Watch for action in the near future.
There’s more to report than I can fathom this morning, but the road calls. I’ve got to move. Have a margarity for me.
Ride Forever,
