BANDIT WENT TO THE CANTINA FOR A DRINK–As he sat sipping his whiskey, a young lady sat down next to him. She turned to him and asked, “Are you a real biker?”
He replied, “Well, I’ve spent my whole life on motorcycles, riding the open road, drinking in biker bars, and building bikes, so I guess I am.”
She said, “I’m a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about women. When I shower, I think about women. As I watch TV, or even eat, I think about women. Everything seems to make me think about women.”
The two sat sipping in silence. A short time later, a man sat down on the other side of the old bikerand asked, “Are you a real biker?”
The biker replied, “I always thought I was, but I just found out I’m a lesbian.”

TUESDAY BIKETOBER FEST REPORT– I spent time with Berry Wardlaw, Covington & crew Tues. We will be working on tuning the engine on Wed. I will bring my lap top and show them the article on your site. I have some shots of the bike. It is a work of art.
Covington is interested in trying to get it on the cover of Hot Bike. Do you know what is going on over there? Did Frank or any one we know get the job?
There are not a lot of people in Daytona as yet. Berry had no problem finding a room but only until Thurs. It looks like that is when they are expecting people. I am Not Impressed with what is going on. But it is nice to be able to get around and also not have to wait in line for everything.

We know the Hot Bike rumors, but we can’t reveal anything just yet.–Bandit
VICTORY CONNECTION FOR CUSTOM PARTS–I also have some good info for our buddy in Jeff sunny Baghdad. the bad news is the tolerances are too tight to install a bigger tire with the stock set up. BUT the good news is, I did find a good contact from the guy’s at Victory.
It seems there is a custom shop in their area that produces fat tire kits and other custom production components for Victory Motorcycles. They have an exchange program for most Victory models to reduce the wait time. I checked out their web site www.northstarcustomcycle.com, and they have some good looking stuff on their web site.
I also gave them a call and spoke with Mr. Peterson over the phone. They seem to be on the ball enough for me.
Take care, The Devil
CONDEROSA CUSTOM BIKES READY– As soon as somebody steps up, I’ll send you the coolest #$%^&in’ bike build articles in the world. The next motorcycle I build is coming from a set of bare cases, flat sheet and straight tubing! Complete with a comic book style hand drawn journal/owners manual.
Aside from hiring some folks to dig up the metal ore and smelt it, I’m gonna build the whole damn thing.
GET DOWN.
Here’s a quick sketch of your Ultimate chopper project. One is for colorin’ and the others an idea.

OIL UPDATE FROM BIKERNET–For 883cc and 1200 Sportster motorcycles, the AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil is recommended for both the engine and the transmission.
On 1340 cc and 1450 cc models, the 20W-50 AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil is recommended for the engine crankcase, AMSOIL Severe Gear 75W-90 Gear Lube for the transmission and AMSOIL 10W-40 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil for the chaincase.
These recommendations for the 1340 cc and 1450 cc are, in our opinion, superior to using a 20W-50 m/c oil in the engine, transmission and primary as H-D recommends with their new Syn3. If you choose to you certainly can use the AMSOIL 20W-50 motorcycle oil in the engine, transmission and primary as a replacement for the Syn3 (which is a 20W-50 m/c oil), however it is our recommendation that it is better to use the specific products outlined above for superior performance.
Gear Lubes have Extreme Pressure (EP) additives for superior protection of the gear surfaces while motor oils typically do not have EP additives since EP additives can be detrimental inside an engine. Therefore it is better to use gear lube in your transmission than motor oil.
The change interval specification on AMSOIL motorcycle oil and AMSOIL Super Motorcycle Oil Filters is 2 times manufacturer recommendations.
For cars and light trucks: AMSOIL Series 2000 0W-30 Severe Service is one of the very best and is a 35,000 mile/1-year oil. Change the AMSOL Super Duty oil filter every 12,500 miles/6-months. If you do not put 35,000 miles per year on then the 5W-30 (ASL) or the 10W-30 (ATM) are also excellent choices and both are 25,000 mile/1-year lubricants. All AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants meet and far exceed all manufacturer specifications as well as API Specifications.
AMSOIL Series 3000 5W-30 HDD is the most advanced chemistry product AMSOIL offers and is also a 35,000 mile/1-year oil in non-commercial gas engine passenger cars and light truck applications. It has the beefiest additive package of all AMSOIL motor oils and resists oil breakdown from heat, blow-by chemicals and oxygen up to 10 times longer than conventional oils. It is also an excellent severe duty fleet type oil for applications such as police and delivery fleets.
the AMSOIL Series 2000 0W-30 Severe Service is a racing oil and of a different chemistry than the 10W-30 and 5W-30. I have been a Ford Engineer for 19 years and we often use the 0W-30 in the 800 Hp Ford/Roush Nascars as it has a shear strength better than most 50W oils and transfers heat more efficiently than heavier oils. Only about 60% of the engine cooling is done by the coolant and the rest is done by the oil via heat transfer. The 10W-30 and 5W-30 would not be good choices for racing. The 5W-30 ASL product code and 10W-30 ATM are both 25,000 mile/1-year oils where the 0W-30 is a 35,000 mile/1-year oil. The 4-ball wear test is also run at a different load, temp and RPM than the other 2 products so they cannnot be compared in that area. The 0W-30 does not thin out to a 0W as it gets hot. It stays a 30W just like the 10W-30 and the 5W-30. They are ALL 30 weight oils and each one can be beneficial in a specific application. The 10W-30 is a better oil under certain instances for higher mileage engines as it has a lower volatility. 10W-40 High Performance is a heavier duty oil for severe off road, towing and RV type use and is also a 25,000 mile/1-year oil.

It was pretty sad looking, with abit of rust and dirt and somewhat negleted, but after testriding it and going over it, I realized I was onto something good. Paidthe man and took off. Soon as I got it home I gave it a big wash, out withthe rattle cans of flat black (not the whole bike) and on with a solo seat,dropped the arse 1 inch and threw on a couple of Bikernet stickers and nowshe has class. I’m gonna sell the Sturgis and keep this one awhile. Eventhough she’s a bit of a rat – I love it!!! The Pan is still a comin’ – I’mwaiting on a Paugho frame to arrive – so that one’s changed big time – frommy original idea! Hey man! my motto is keep’em guessing and keep itinteresting , I didn’t get any photos of the ‘Priddle makeover’ on the FLH,as it happened so damn quick and our camera is in getting fixed. Well folksthat’s it from the Aussies and hope this finds you all fit and well. –Regards Glenn & Kerry AMERICA’S BEST BIKER BAND– The Charlie Brechtel Band hit the motorcycle community hard in 2003 and 2004 playing such places as, The Redwood Run, Hollister, Mid-state, Am-Jam, The Buffalo Chip in Sturgis, Easyriders, Las Vegas Bikefest, Thunder Rolls, Biketober west in San Diego, a few mini tours through NY…And will be at the Love Ride 21 for 2004 in Nov, This is probably the biggest biker event in California.

There is a slight increase in bikes coming onto town. Bikers are reported to be all over the state in places like Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami and Key West. I have not gotten any reports from the west coast of Florida though. The big question everyone is asking is Are the Bikers Avoiding Daytona? If so is it because of the way they have been treated in the past? Is it because of the hurricane damage and limited rooms? If that is a answer how does it explain them being all over the rest of the state? Are they unaware that the city has officially increased the days of Biketoberfest? With out allowing the out of state vendors to open it appears to be half a event and a lot of people think the vendors are not open because of lack of business, it is very confusing to many. Things are scheduled to officially start happening today and I will get out and about and see what I can find. –Rogue IT’S A GODDAMN WRAP–Wow, what a day. Don’t you think we deserve sex and whiskey? I’m excited, now I can pour the coals to the Ultimate chopper again. Damn, Tim Conder can turn a pen. Can’t wait to see his next twisted creation. Here’s a few shots from Bob T. just to wrap up the news with some shit from the ’70s. The gentleman, Bob George, in the top shot taught me how to rebuild engines in 1970. And that’s the original Easyriders streamliner he’s looking at. I introduced Bob G. to Mil Blair at Jammer Cycle in 1978 and they became a sponsor and ultimately Easyriders became the owner. The rest is history. Finally there’s a couple of open road shots from Bob T., I rode with him in 1972. He’s still riding and living in a rusting 1959 Cadillac anchored in the Desert east of Palm Springs. There’s a couple of haunted stories there. I can’t leave the news without a cutie from RFR in Texas. This guy has a knack with a lense and can always make the girls smile. We have a Victory model launch, article on Road Rage, Fiction, bike features, bike builds, jokes and not enough women to help me during the breaks between each articles. Catch ya next week. Ride Forever, –Bandit
