THE BIKERNET CRAZYHORSE CUSTOM PAINT REPORT– This week’s paint job belongs to Jerry Wolfe from the Lone Star state. He shipped his new VRod all the way to Gastonia, NC to get it customized by Jim Bortles at Carolina Harley-Davidson. To see other bikes Jim has built and customized go to
It was quite a challenge welding on the sheetmetal. It was like trying to weld a beer can, it is that thin. But Jim made up a set of new sidescovers and refabbed the rear fender. I used House of Kolor Chameleon paint and the VRod’s array of curves really brought out the color changing qualities of the paint. As far as graphics go, I just started sketching and came up with the graphic that is seen here.
The end result is a bike that really turns heads. In Carolina H-D’s fab shop, which is full of wild customs and choppers, this was the bike everyone seemed drawn to. Surprized the hell out of me. I took it out for a ride to take some pictures down at an old weigh station recently, and it was the biggest rush. Anyone who pulled up next to me at a light, had to ask questions about the bike. Although, the first time it happened, I couldn’t answer them. I was so in shock from riding this $45,000 custom, I was speechless for a few miles.
How did I find the ride of the VRod? Unreal. I’ve ridden all kinds of H-Ds, choppers, owned and ridden the hell out of my sporty, my old triumph, and my ninja. This thing rode better than any of them. I was gone for two hours. With the gas tank down under the seat, the thing practically stands up by itself. Light, nimble, sure footed, it handled like a dream on the tight twists. On the highway, it has top end up the ying yang. Off the line- it may as well have afterburners.
My buddy Charlene Sparks of Drag Specialities tells me her H-D dealers sell a lot of them to women. I can see why. It’s perfectly set up for those who aren’t 6 ft or long legged. With small handgrips and a comfy seat position, it fit me like a glove. Now if I can only talk the crusty old fabricator that I share this house with, into hanging a pair of saddlebags on one.

BIKERNET SHOPPING ADVICE–A woman was shopping at her local supermarket where she selected a quart of milk, a carton of eggs, a quart of orange juice, and a 1 lb package of bacon. As she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk standing behind her watched as she placed the items in front of the cashier.
He said, “You must be single.”
The woman, a bit startled but intrigued by the derelict’s intuition, looked at her four items on the belt. Seeing nothing particularly unusual about her selections she said, “Well, you know what, you’re absolutely right. But how on earth did you know that?”
The drunk said, “Cause you’re ugly.”

BIKERNET COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT–Hey Bro. Can’t you talk these Cantina girls into wearing less clothes. Usually all these girls need to wear is a smile. Clothes of any kind are for those that are trying to hide something that we haven’t seen before. If they have something going on that I haven’t seen before, I don’t think I really want to see it!
Keep up the good work! Don’t ride safe. Go like hell, make a lot of noise, have fun, and don’t let anybody catch you!

A BIKERNET RELIGIOUS MOMENT– A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and the cabdriver won’t stop staring at her.
She asks him why is he staring.
Hereplies, “I have a question to ask you, but I don’t want to offend you.
She answers,”My son, you cannot offend me. When you’re as old as I am and have been aNun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just abouteverything. I’m sure that there’s nothing you could say or ask that I would findoffensive.”
“Well, I’ve always had a fantasy to have a Nun kiss me.”
She responds, “Well, let’s see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.”
The cab driver is very excited and says, “Yes, I am single; and I’mCatholictoo!”
“OK” the Nun says. “Pull into the next alley. He does and theNun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. Butwhenthey get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
“My dear child”, said the nun, “why are you crying?”
“Forgive me Sister, but I have sinned. I lied. I must confess, I’mmarried and I’m Jewish.”
The nun says, “That’s OK, my name is Kevin and I’m on my way to aHalloween party.”

BACK TO THE CHICKEN JOKE–A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is leaning againstthe headboard smoking a cigarette with a satisfied smile on his face.
The egg, looking a bit pissed off, grabs the sheet, rolls over andsays, “Well, I guess we finally answered THAT question.”
Moral of the story (by Stroker)…….
Don’t sleep with chickens!
Don’t count your chicken before it comes!
Rubber chickens last longer!
A bird in hand is better than two in the bush?
A good man never chickens out!
You must have the pan well lubircated before you can fry your egg!
There is no such thing as a 2 minute egg!
It takes time and talent to make Quiche!
Real men eat Quiche!
Some eggs are just Benedict!and most of all, do not sleep with chickens!
