PAINT JOB OF THE WEEK FROM CRAZYHORSE– This week’s paint job comes all the way from rainy Fox Island in thePacificNorthwest. I painted this for Tom Finley a few years back. This tankwasoriginally found it’s home upon a Panhead, but after Tom got thetank backhe changed his mind. He decided to sell the Panhead running gear andoptedinstead to build himself as S&S shovel with a RevTech 4-speed. Hewent withthe kick and electric start setup.
I’m not sure what they’re doing up there on old Fox Island, but itdoesn’tlook like it’s a very boring place. Hot bikes, hot women. So that’swhat’sthey do when it’s raining.
The 4th Annual Smoke Out was smokin’!!!!!! Great weather, killerbikes, anda town with a good attitude, combined into a weekend that anyone whowasthere will be talking about for long time.

BIKERNET RELATIONSHIP ADVICE–One Saturday afternoon, I was sitting in my lawn chair, drinking beer and watching my wife mow the lawn.
The neighbor lady from across the street was so outraged at this that she came over and shouted to me, “You should be hung.”
I took a drink from my can of Budweiser, wiped the cold foam from my lips, lifted my darkened Ray Ban Sunglasses and stared directly at this nosey bitch and then calmly replied, “I am, that’s why SHE cuts the grass.”

RIDE FOR HEROES STATUS–I finalized a bunch of stuff for the 3rd annual Ride For The Heroes onAugust 31st, 2003. The run will be held on Long Island, New York. I haveattached a flyer and a little story about how the run came about (which Iknow you already know).
If you happen to be in NY around that time, please let me know. Youhad also mentioned raffling off some autographed books. What do you think?
If you want to edit anything please let me know. I’m just a guy who rides amotorcycle trying to promote a run for my friend. I’m sure I can use a lotof work as a promoter LOL!

Hey Frank, we’re more than happy to support your efforts. I’ll be glad to send you a dozen signed books. And I edit every damn thing that rolls across my desk, whether it needs it or not. –Bandit
KIDS ON BIKERNET–A little boy wanted $ 100.00 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened. Then he decided to write God a letter requesting the $ 100.00. When the postal authorities received the letter to God, USA, they decided to send it to the President.
The president was so amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $ 5.00 bill. The president thought this would appear to be a lot of money to the little boy. The little boy was delighted with the $ 5.00 bill and sat down to write a thank-you note to God, which read:
Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. however, I noticed that for some reason you sent it through Washington, D.C., and those assholes deducted $95.00 in taxes.

ANOTHER BIKERNET READER/CONTRIBUTOR OPS FOR KING–Bob T. an old school rider and motorcycle memorbilia collector just bought a new 100th anniversary King. He’s the guy to supplies us with all the old shots we run. Keep an eye out for the next HORSE. His old school story comes to light on the pages.
SONS OF LIBERTY LEGISLATIVE REPORT– It’s For The Children – Fact or Fiction?Have you noticed the abundance of motorcycle charity rides lately? It seemsthat now that the mainstream have realized that bikers aren’t the scum ofthe earth and actually do have money; it’s become fashionable for everycharity around to have a Ride. But how much do we really know about wherethat money is going?
I recently picked up a brochure about the Inaugural Miracle Ride benefitingChildren’s Miracle Network. I might have overlooked the significance ofthis except that recently my TV has been flooded with commercials fromChildren’s Miracle Network that say that they are the “premier alliance ofchildren’s hospitals” that benefits Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Thereis my problem with this “Miracle Ride.” If you raise money for Children’sHealthcare of Atlanta, you are raising money for a hospital that doesn’teven like motorcycles. Not to mention that they have 6 lobbyists at theCapitol. Even that wouldn’t bother me quite so much, except that they arelobbying about something has nothing to do with children.On the day that our bill was defeated in the Senate (at 9:04 PM), we spoketo several of the legislators who had told us they supported us and thenvoted against us. One of them was Senator Rooney Bowen. He said his reasonwas “the doctors and hospitals got on to me.” My comment at that time wasif Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta has enough money to pay 6 lobbyists,they have too much money.
In fact, a couple of months ago I got a call froma Missy Valentine asking us if we could do a Ride for Children’s Healthcareof Atlanta. I basically laughed at her and told her I was surprised thatshe called us. She asked what I mean. I said “your lobbyist is at theCapitol lobbying against our bill, what makes you think we would raise moneyfor you?” She said she had no idea, and said she had never heard of theirlobbyist named David Tatum. It certainly didn’t stop her from findingsomeone to help them put on a motorcycle ride anyway.
So I just thoughtthat any motorcyclists out there who are planning on supporting this rideshould know just what their money would be going toward. Every penny thatthey can raise only helps them be able to afford to keep these lobbyists onthe payroll.So when you hear about a ride for charity, especially one that’s “for thechildren,” before you give them your money, ask yourself, is it really goingfor the kids?

We’re rockin’ at the headquarters this week. Between girls, workouts and pinstrippers we’re pounding a Custom Chrome Goliath 100-inch bike kit together. Yesterday was slow, with glitches to installing the inner primary and clutch. We’ll explain all aspects in several articles that will flash onto the site and in American Rider in the near future.
Yesterday we had three photographers slowing our progress while George, the Wild Brush, cleaned up the partially powder coated wheels with his pinstriping talents. Plus, we were distracted by the heavenly form of Sin Wu wearing a short/short top and a island wrap over naked hips as she delivered chow to the crew. How the hell can we get anything done?
Last night I fell asleep watching El Captain Thunder starring Fay Ray from the ’40s. Before the movie kicked off, Captain Thunder’s code was flashed across the screen. He was a South of the border outlaw of honor who stood by his word always in pursuit of life, liquor and ladies. I like his code. Let’s hit the news:

BIKERNET EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT–A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow A human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, “When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah”.
The teacher asked, “What if Jonah went to hell?”
The little girl replied, “Then you ask him”.

TAHITI RUN PLAYER GOES DOWN–Into each life some rain must fall. So it was with me at the Horse Smoke Out. I was having a blast at the Horse Magazine’s 4th anual Smoke Out in Salisbury N.C. Schmoozing with Billy lane, Indian Larry and Irish Rich amoung other notable chopper world dignetaries.
This was the first time that I was able to get together with the entire Horse Mag staff at one place and one time. The weather was georgous, the beer was cold and the ladies were hot and the bikes from all across the country were smokin’.
My bride , who let discression be the better part of valour, decided to loosen the reigns a bit and let me fly solo to the event. My damned cell phone rang early in the evening as I was surrounded with a fury of femine pultritude. It was the wife…never a good sign when I’m on the road. She had just gotten a call from Kiki in Tahiti. He was trying to reach me to tell me that a good friend of mine in Tahiti, Jean-Noel Tourneur had been in a bad wreck on his Fat Boy and had sustained severe head trauma and it was not known if he would survive. I was devastated. Being appx 9,000 miles and an ocean away, there was nothing I could do to help.
I tried reaching my buddies in the club there but was unable to contact anyone. I had to continue working the event, being on stage to host the Horse Maiden Contest with the Ice Cream Man From Hell and Billy Lane, play congenial host to Indian Larry and his crew from GasolineAlleyNYC and the Shade Tree Racing boys as well as meeting and greeting Horse and Bikernet readers. Man, It was one of the toughest weekends I’ve gone through in recent memory.
As soon as I got back home to NY, I phoned Kiki in Papeete and got the good news that Jean-Noel would live. The extent of his injuries have yet to be determined and his eventual recovery is still uncertian.Jean-Noel is no kid. He’s a Belgian who happened on Tahiti and fell in love with her people 25 years ago and stayed. In his youth he rode the Paris-Dakkar Rally a few times on a bike just for kicks. He’s the kind of guy that you want to have a beer and swap stories with. OK, now I’m not a guy who likes to pray, but it couldn’t hurt. So if you happen to think it’s OK, please take a second and ask whoever you think rules the universe to see that Jean-Noel pulls through this and I’ll buy you a beer next time we cross paths.
Thanks folks,

Note no front brake no fenders rigid frame .Build for speed , solo seat , Pant custom red by spray can.
LETTER TO EDGE, THE SMOKE-OUT PROMOTOR FROM OFFICIALS– Thanks to your staff and the participants of your event (Smoke Out IV) in our city this year; no incidents occurred this past weekend that could be attributed to motorcyclists attending from out of town. They were orderly and well-mannered, and except for a few minor calls involving loud music and partying at a few of the local motels, we responded to our normal amount of calls for service. Several arrests were made for driving offenses, but none that I could see except for one, could be attributed to any of your participants.
Our city residents gave us more problems than the visitors. We were glad to have them come visit our historic City of Salisbury and they are certainly welcome again. Please convey our sincere gratitude to your readership for their friendly and outgoing attitude those two days (June 20- 21, 2003). I have already received a number of comments from both fellow officers and members of the community that this was one of the “nicest bunch of people” we have ever had visit our town. Please call on me if you should need anything on your future visits to Rowan County.

Bandit’s Garage: Pat Kennedy Trail Tip
By Bikernet Contributor Wrench |
Using a tape measure, or if not available a piece of string, raise the bike to upright position.
Start by holding the tape measure straight down from the front axle to the floor. Put a mark on the floor at that point. Then, place the tape parallel to the steering axle, following the angle of the steering head all the way down to the floor. Put a mark here too. Now all you have to do is to measure the distance between the two marks and you have your trail figure. It should read between 2 and 4 inches.
* Note: If your bike is equipped with rear suspension, have someone sit on the seat when you make these measurements, to simulate your actual riding conditions.
| Too Little Trail With too little and extreme cases negative trail, (steering axle mark behind the front axle mark), the bike will handle with unbelievable ease at low speeds, but be completely out of balance at high speed. It will easily develop a fatal high-speed wobble. Extremely dangerous! |
 |
 |
Normal Trail Somewhere between 2 to 4 inches the bike will handle easily at both high and low speeds. Flowing smoothly through curves without swaying or wobbling. If you use a very fat rear tire, you should keep the trail as close to 4 inches as possible. A slightly large trail is also practical for touring. |
| Too Much Trail If the trail is more than 4 inches the bike will handle sluggishly at high speeds. It will seem almost too steady. You will have trouble balancing your bike at lower speeds, or on winding roads. It will feel generally sluggish and clumsy. |
 |
Changing The Center of Gravity
To make full use of your triple trees you should also readjust the fork when your bike’s center of gravity changes, like when you are packing a lot of luggage.
If the center of gravity is too low, you will have good maneuverability around curves, but the stability when you are going in a straight line will suffer. If the center of gravity is too high, it will be the other way around. Always readjust the triple trees within the sensible limits of trail, as riding conditions change. This way you will always be able to use your bikes handling resources to the maximum. The adjustable triple trees are designed to give you the best possible handling at all times. So make use of them!
| Enjoy Your Ride!

<>I finally got “The Meanest” to send you these photos of the front endchange we performed on my Super Glide. First, a little background onthe bike. I bought it in March of this year at the dealership whereI work, Harley-Davidson of Charlotte. It was a consignment bike, Igot a real good price on it when you consider the engine has the 1550kit, S.E. 211 cams, S & S carb and the heads have been worked. Weput it on the dyno the week I got it and it put out 89.8hp and 91.5torque. Not bad!
I also like the all-black engine. The hp is up a little more now,with the addition of a Vance & Hines pro pipe.
I never could getused to the look of the front end, so I decided to put a wide glidefront end on it. I wanted to keep the dual disc set-up to add to thehot-rod look. The front end kit is from Tedd’s V-Twin and it boltedright on with no problems. I added the black center floating disc onthe front and rear of the bike to accent the all-black drive line. Ialso added the 21″ Thunderstar, black and polished front wheel.
The bike feels like a whole new bike with this setup. I wantedto keep everything black or polished since the bike has very littlechrome. I am still working on cleaning up the turn signals and a fewother things. Right now it’s a work in progress. I really like theway it feels, and I have always loved the power of the engine.

From TheGUNNY’S SACK
Time off: First off I want to apologize to those of you that missed the last issue of the Gunny’s Sack. The truth is the Sack didn’t get out because Gunny was on a 21 state 7000 mile motorcycle ride with his wife.
Left Redmond, Oregon at 12:30 PM on the first of May and got back home the evening of the twenty-seventh. We went to Milwaukee, WI for the National Coalition Of Motorcyclists Convention that took place the 8th to 11th of May. We stopped in Chicago and took delivery of our new “Aspen Classic” camp trailer for the bike. The thing has a KING sized bed in it when erected. All that and 25 cubes of cargo space too. Ahh, luxury for the old man.
To get to Milwaukee we crossed Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Nebraska, Wyoming, Iowa, Illinois, and into Wisconsin. NCOM: This 18th Annual Convention was one of the best I’ve ever attended and some of the information passed along to us was positively frightening. Namely, the PATRIOT Act and the possibility of the passage of PATRIOT II. If you attach any value to the freedom you have left in this country you will write your Congressmen and Senators NOW and voice your opposition to the stealing of your liberties by elected officials.
More on that later.
We left Wisconsin and continued to West “By God” Virginia via Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and down into West Virginia to visit my daughter and that bunch. I was blessed with seeing my grandson who just graduated from the Naval Academy and is now a Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps. Some kinda proud of him I am.
We left from there continuing to Bakersfield, California crossing West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and into California. Spent a few days at my brother’s place and enjoyed the wedding of my Granddaughter there. From there home to Oregon, winding up a fantastic month.
We hit some of the worst storms I’ve ever experienced. The first was the back end of the storm that did so much tornado damage all through the Nebraska, Kansas, and Alabama. We got past that and coming out of West Virginia we were rained on for four days all the way to Oklahoma. One day we had to stop after only forty miles because it was raining so hard I couldn’t see the road. Shawnee, Oklahoma was the last of the rain and then it got HOT, poor Sue doesn’t do heat well so she paid the fiddler for the next three days getting to Bakersfield. It was 109 in Needles, Ca. when we got there. Bakersfield was just as hot, so she spent a lot of time indoors and I spend some time soaking up a lot of my brothers beer at his hangar home there on the Bakersfield Airpark. Brothers and sisters, I’d load up tomorrow morning and do it again if I had the bucks to do it. Sue says the same thing.
We no more than got home and had to rush to Forest Grove, OR to attend to our daughter-in-law ,who was pregnant with her first child, and Sue’s first natural Grandbaby. Angie was in trouble with the pregnancy and wound up with a beautiful 29-week baby girl weighing just one pound eleven ounces. Mom and child doing very well. Mom’s home and visiting the infant twice a day for feedings and whatever else it is that moms do with little guys. Pop is working his way though the whole thing, kind of bewildered, but OK.
Granddad will live but not sure about Grammaw. She’s a mess. The upshot of the whole thing was we decided a move back to the Forest Grove area was indeed necessary.
So away we went and in just a few days I find myself moved back to the Willamette Valley. Thank God for the Washington County ABATE of Oregon members who helped us unload at the new house. All this in the Gunny’s life in less than 40 days. Anyone want to follow me around for the next few months to see what else can happen when you’re not lookin?
NEWSBIT’N’PIECES:
REPEAL THE USA PATRIOT ACTAll over the country early in July there will be public hearings concerning the USA PATRIOT Act. You all need to be aware of the dangerous precedent this madness represents.
On Oct. 26, 2001, our Congress passed the most far-reaching snatch of liberty from the American people ever passed. Never in the history of this nation has a law been passed so quickly. It took only 11 days for this to take place. That is record time for our Congress to act on anything. The events on 9/11 took the good sense out of our leaders and we need to bring it to a screeching halt before our country winds up like Europe did in the days of Hitler’s rise to power.
These are just part of what this thing does to every citizen of this country not just bikers. You can bet, however, we are the most immediate targets available.
1) Eliminates FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION: Government may monitor religious, labor, and political institutions without having to suspect criminal activity, if it is to assist “terror” investigation.
2) FREEDOM OF INFORMATION: Government has closed once-public immigration hearings, has secretly detained hundreds of people without charges, and has encouraged bureaucrats to resist public records requests.
3) FREEDOM OF SPEECH: Government may prosecute librarians or keepers of any other records, if they tell anyone that the government subpoenaed information related to a terror investigation.
4) RIGHT TO LEGAL REPRESENTATION: Government may monitor federal prison jailhouse conversations between attorneys and clients, and deny lawyers to American citizens accused of crimes.
5) FREEDOM FROM UNREASONABLE SEARCHES: Government may search and seize Americans’ personal records, business documents and telephone/internet activity records without probable cause, to assist alleged terror investigations.
6) RIGHT TO A SPEEDY AND PUBLIC TRIAL: Government may jail Americans indefinitely without a trial.
7) RIGHT TO LIBERTY: Americans may be jailed without being charged or being able to confront the witnesses against them.
What you have just read is just a sample of what your government has up it’s sleeve besides the arm. If you aren’t shaken by these words, I don’t know what to tell you except bend over and kiss your sweet patootee goodbye.
BOISE, IDAHO: Recently here a motorcycle officer jumped aboard a runaway locomotive and was instrumental in stopping the thing. Can you imagine the adrenalin rush this guy had going? WOW! No one was hurt but it could have been disastrous. Kudos to the Cop.
PHILADELPHIA, PENN. : The city is tired of kids without licenses driving motorized scooters on sidewalks and streets without regard to pedestrian traffic. They passed a resolution with teeth that can result in the confiscations of the scoot being illegally ridden by non-licensed drivers. Not too sure I blame them on this one. Some kid on a motorized scooter runs into me on the sidewalk and I just might have a word or two with him if ya know what I mean.
SAN JOSE, CA: A biker here was apparently the victim of a road rage incident that left him paralyzed from the neck down when a man rammed him from the rear. The guy that caused the wreck is being sought by police and will be charged with attempted homicide and assault with a deadly weapon. Hope they catch this guy and lock his butt up for a long, long time. There is no place for road rage in this country. There was a witness to the incident so they should get this clown soon. Our best to the injured biker.
GUNNY AGAIN: Glad to be back and remember the Aid to Injured Motorcyclists (AIM) attorneys are the ones who take care of us so call yours if you find yourself with any legal problem. They will help you. Call 1-800-ON-A-BIKE and get hooked up, or look on the web at www.ON-A-BIKE.com.

Just as soon as the kit bike is complete, the Amazing Shrunken FXR will return home for a new Rivera dual Mikuni carb installation then mid controls tweaking and the bike will roll to paint and chrome. It’s about time.
I’m riding the King to Ventura tomorrow to discuss the Beach Ride with antique bike experts Don Whalen and Huggy from the Shop. We plan a rare collection of bikes for display at the Beach Ride Sept. 7 at the Queen Mary.
The next modification for the King is a H-D touring oil cooler for the summer ahead. We received a number of questions about the high running temps in Twin Cam engines. Let’s see how much the oil cooler will alter the heat.
Finally, if she will come out of her bedroom, Layla will write a story on the Bikernet Water Fall powered by a 1929 H-D twin. Have a helluva weekend.

THE TALKING DOG–A guy sees a sign in front of a house: “Talking Dog for Sale.” He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard.The guy goes into the backyard and sees a black mutt just sitting there.
“You talk?” he asks.
“Yep,” the mutt replies.
“So, what’s your story?”
The mutt looks up and says, “Well, I discovered this gift pretty young and I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running.
“The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn’t getting any younger and wanted to settle down. So I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was awarded a batch of medals. Had a wife, a mess of puppies, and now I’m just retired.”
The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. The owner says, “Ten dollars.”
The guy says, “This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him, so cheap?”
The owner replies, “He’s such a liar. He didn’t do any of that shit!

1st Annual West Virginia Freedom Rally
Rain, Rain , Rain. That’s the way the First Annual Freedom Rally inSummersville WV started off. It scared all the fair weather riders off,but Uncle Rock showed up. I was waiting at the court house to take picsof the parade, and there he was. Right in the middle of it.My kind of guy. Rode down in the rain, and never blinked. he hung aroundall day, and helped out everywhere he could. Thanks Rock.
Even with the bad weather we still had a fair turn-out. This shindig wassponsored by the Secretary of state of West Virginia, and he rides, anddon’t want to wear a helmet either. Did I mention he is running forGovernor next go-around?Sput was going to speak, but was unavoidably detained in Texas, so I hadto take his place. I was told that the subject was bikers, and Liberty.Took two days to put something together. No time for rehearsal. At thelast minute I found out that the topic was honoring our troops, andvets. My carefully prepared speech went out the window! I was forced towing it.
All in all it was a good weekend though. Got to meet a few new members,and signed some up. but I made contact with people in areas of the statewhere I had no contact before. I also got to show a few of my officersmy back yard (South Eastern WV) They are all from the northern part ofthe state, and had no idea of the roads they have been missing. A lot ofgood quality time with these people, and they are more fired up thanI’ve seen them in years.The rain put a damper on things, but I had a great time doin what I dobest. Dealing with motorcycle people. Setting some small brush fires intheir minds.

“HOT OFF THE PRESS” Pa.Senate votes to repeal motorcycle helmet law
The bill moves to House, and Rendell vows to sign measure.Motorcyclists are a step closer to being able to ride without headprotection after the Senate voted last night to repeal the state’s35-year-old helmet law.The bill, which passed in the Senate 29-20, now moves to the House for avote. Gov. Ed Rendell has indicated that he will sign the bill if it passesin both bodies.”It’s about time,” said Aliquippa resident Kerry Hawk, who was among thedozens of cyclists who stayed until 7 p.m. to hear the vote, which crossedparty lines.
“This is the hardest of the three hurdles that we have to confront,” saidCharles Flack of Plum, former communications officer for Pennsylvania’sAlliance of Bikers Aimed Toward Education (ABATE). “We’ve been workingtoward it for 30 years. When we pass the hurdle in the House, we’ve alreadybeen guaranteed by Gov. Rendell that he will sign our legislation.”
The bill requires riders over the age of 21 to wear helmets if they havebeen licensed to operate motorcycles less than two years. But the two-yearrequirement would be waived if riders took a state-run motorcycle safetycourse. Motorcyclists with more than two years experience would simply beallowed to ride without a helmet if they so choose.The vote came hours after demonstrations from people on each side of thedebate.
Keep Internet Taxes At Bay
According to Wired News (wired.com), if a coalitionof congressmen has its way, the government’s temporarymoratorium on Internet-access taxes could soon becomepermanent.
This week, a House of Representatives committee is expectedto consider a proposal that would bar states from imposinglevies on Internet service, but would not affect theirability to collect sales taxes.
HR 49, the Internet Tax Nondiscrimination Act, introducedby Rep. Christopher Cox (R-CA), would make permanent amoratorium the congressman initially introduced in 1998.The current ban is set to expire in November.
Cox urged support for the measure, backed by more than 30other representatives, noting, “The average American doesnot need new taxes, especially on their Internet access.”
ACTION ITEM: This is just one effort to resist theinevitable urge of politicians to somehow tax the Internet –but it’s a good start.
Go to our site below NOW to send a message directly to yourCongressman and Senators, and ask them to support theInternet Tax Nondiscrimination Act: http://www.conservativealerts.com/061703.htm

Gear Lubes and Harley Transmissions–Amsoil Series 2000 Gear Lube is recommended for all Harley transmissions as well as all after-market transmissions that require a 75W-90 or 75W140 gear lube.
While it is possible to use the new H-D Syn-3 in the transmission, it is still a motor oil, and therefore does not offer the best additive package designed for the unique requirements of gear to gear applications. Amsoil Series 2000 Gear Lube contains additives that actually bond with and cushion the gear teeth at their contact points to extend the life of the gears as well as enable smoother shifting and lower operating temperature due to reduced friction.
Amsoil recommends using Series 2000 75W-90 in all Harley transmissions, except for Sportsters which call for Series 2000 75W-140, for the absolute best performance and protection. It offers better protection than H-D Semi-Synthetic or Syn-3 and is specially designed for use in transmissions and other gear lube applications. Be sure to use my dealer number ZO 1124190 when you order to ensure that the sale is credited to me.

THE BOOK OF WOMEN RIDING–Living & Riding Free!?By Sasha Mullins, was recently published by Citadel Press, an imprint of Kensington Publishing Corp – August 2003.
“The motorcycle is a glorious mystery that subconsciously and healthfully touches the heart and soul of women everywhere. It transforms us into wind goddesses, powerful and free. The motorcycle is the “freedom machine” from long ago that promoted women’s social and dress reform much to the chagrin of society’s restraining views of the era. Even today this mighty iron horse embodies and celebrates the beauty of our feminine strength and spirit set free. . .
“We are iron Godivas, as we grab life by the handlebars and charge forward on the highways of our purpose-filled destiny to realize our most heartfelt dreams. We are free to be ourselves as God intended each of us, and we discover that inner power in the wind, riding hundreds and thousands of miles, joyously living and riding free!Riding a motorcycle is the ultimate GIRL POWER!?Sasha, author and a bikerlady report in her colorfully passionate book.
“Two wheels and an open road…for Bikerladies. It’s an irresistible call to adventure. The motorcycle embodies freedom, power and seduction. It’s the allure of living life on the edge, of defying every expectation and escaping from the ordinary in a blur of steel horse and leather. And for the growing community of women who love motorcycles, it’s a passion unlike any other, a relationship defined by self-discovery, strength, and joy.”
From Clara Wagner joyously hiking up her skirt to race a motorcycle in 1910 to today?s female celebrities cruising the open roads in a blaze of chrome glory, BIKERLADY delves into the history, the community, the phenomenon, the sport, the dreams, and the pride of all women riders.
In this empowering and inspiring book, renowned motojournalist Sasha Mullins explores the unique sisterhood of bikerladies?old and young, mothers and daughters, sisters, wives, grandmothers, executives, celebrities, artists, teachers, and more who race on a track or ride the endless highways and twisting turns on their own personal journeys of self-expression.
Here’s a jail cell decorated by Martha Stewart. Get it right, will ya.
FROM THE BIKERNET PARAMEDIC– Due to a power outage at the time, only one paramedic responded to the call. The house was very, very dark, so the paramedic asked Katelyn, a 3 year old girl, to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby.
Very diligently, Katelyn did as she was asked. Heidi pushed and pushed, and after a little while Connor was born.
The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry. The paramedic then thanked Katelyn for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-year old what she thought about what she had just witnessed.
Katelyn quickly responded, “He shouldn’t have crawled in there in the first place. Smack him again.”
BIKERNET PRODUCT OF THE WEEK–Often mistaken for a Razor scooter when seen for the first time without a rider, the http://www.youcansave.com Trikke immediately sets itself apart when a rider hops on and takes his first few turns away from you. “What makes it move?” and “Where are the Batteries?” are usually the first words to come out of a first time viewer’s mouth. In describing the movement, it is often compared to in-line skating or skiing on pavement because the entire vehicle leans in unison due to it’s finely coordinated cambering mechanism.
Stable and Safe…Because of the three-wheeled stance, the Trikke is extraordinarily stable. Dual rear brakes provide superb braking power. Independently controlled, the brakes also allow for unusual lateral control for trick riding. Rated as the safest vehicle on the road by the Los Angeles Safety Foundation, the Trikke provides unsurpassed safety, control and agility for riders of all sizes and ages. The Trikke 8 is fast and stable for Trikkers young and old wanting speed, and durability.
These wild things are available at Century Motorcycles.

BIKERNET CARIBBEAN REPORT–We have been trying to get all the stuff that needs to be done, well, done. As you read this I will be in Salisbury with the Horse crew and friends at The Smoke Out. Sadly there’s no time to ride, just a quick trip over and a quick flight back. If you make it there make sure to come by and say hi.
Wicho’s bike is done, here’s some photos of the ’52 pan, the ’72 Ironhead that you’ve seen in here before is almost complete. We must press the pedal to the metal since many of the other projects are making the trip to Sturgis this year. We now take photographs of each and every bike as it’s completed, so keep an eye out for them in future issues of the Horse.
We are also writing the Puerto Rican history of bobbers and choppers. I just finished scanning over 100 photos, just one album. There’s lots more investigation to come. I’m having a lot of fun documenting the “history” thing. We will also feature of The Smoke Out as soon as I get back. Like always, Bikernet will have the feature way before anyone, so keep your eyes peeled.
Also I got the chance to do a pretty cool interview, no nonsense on Jesse James for an upcoming issue of Bikernet’s favorite magazine.
I guess with all the chaos going on, I’m really looking forward to the Hawaii trip this July 4th weekend and some well deserved R&R, amongst friends. Kaisers awaits…..
Don’t wanna sound like I’m rushing things and doing a half-ass job on the weekly report. But as mentioned above, there’s a lot to do and not much time to do it. Next week I’ll have a lot more material to rant about.
Have a good week end and see you guys next week….

Everyday holds adventures and risks for bikers. We run a fine line between terror and sex. No wonder we like sex so much. I’ve got another axiom to add to the Code of the West: After each blood-boiling treacherous ride, pushing man and motorcycle to the limits, a man should come home to ready and willing woman. If she’s not up for the passion of the road, he finds a bottle. So if you run into a rider lost in a bottle, it’s ’cause he ain’t got no good woman, or not enough women. How’s that sound?That also goes for our troops overseas. Better be lotsa good women waiting when they get home.
Let’s hit the news.
BEACH RIDE UPDATE–Save The Date! Beach Ride 2003 is Sunday, September 7, at the Queen Mary Events Park in Long Beach. Sponsorship opportunities available. There will be two world famous bands, contests, bike show, food and vendors. Get pledges and earn prizes. For more information, email Proceeds benefit the Exceptional Children’sFoundation (ECF) which helps children and adults with developmental disabilities and acquired brain injuries. JESSE JAMES IN THE MIDDLE EAST– My oldest daughters friend from high school sent me this today …her boyfriend is on the far right and his name is ADAM ….he’s a sharp kid, and he and his other buddies have more weight on their shoulders than most of you will ever know.These are the faces of the boys and men who pay the checkfor the cost of our freedom which WAY too many Americanstake for granted. Thanks to Jesse and Kid Rock, for taking time out of theirhectic schedules and at great risk to themselves, to thankthe troops personally. These young men will, not only have something to talk about the rest of their lives, but perhaps more importantly will know that there are many amoung usback home that really appreciate what they are doing.They are willing to DIE for you …. would you do the same for them? Until you have been shot, or shot at, you have know idea of the valueof life, much less the value of freedom.Thank the troops and thank the USO ….. FROM THE BIKERNET MEDICAL DEPARTMENT–A nurse walks into a bank. Preparing to endorse a check. She pulls a rectal thermometer out of her pocket and tries to write with it. She looks up at the teller, pauses for a moment, then realizing her mistake, “Well,” she says, “That’s great…just great..some asshole’s got my pen.” –from A. Friedman LACOINA AGAIN– BYTEDDY “BEAR” BABOLCSAY. Another June can only mean one thing. It’s time for Laconia again.This year marked the 80th anniversary of the famous Laconia Motorcycle Week Rally and Races. I thought I’d do something special in honor of the anniversary. I had been to Tahiti back in March for the Tahiti Harley Riders Club annual Charity Ball to benefit the handicapped children and I had invited their president Kiki Teagai to join my entourage for the Laconia run. He jumped at the chance and we made the arrangements. We were set. I picked up Kiki at JFK on Saturday morning and we hit it bright and early Sunday morning. See the entire saga as TBEar and Kiki travel to the 80th renunion, tomorrow.

Just two months after the RAVE Act was passed by Congress, it has been used by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to intimidate the owners of a Billings, Montana, venue into canceling an event to raise funds to reform marijuana laws.The RAVE Act expands federal law to make it easier to jail and imprison event organizers and property owners who fail to stop drug offenses from occurring on their property. Check the whole story at: http://www.bikernet.com/rights/ BIKERS BOYCOTT LAUGHLIN RUN Members of the Arizona Confederation of Motorcycle Clubs, irked at security precautions such as checkpoints and a ban on wearing colors, boycotted the Laughlin River Run and held a “Screw Laughlin” run in Phoenix instead.

He took a page from your book, and made notes about each bike after the judging was complete. When he announced the winners, he made comments about each bike. The crowd went wild!!! Well, maybe that was because I was handing out the trophies to the winners in a wet t-shirt – guess we’ll never know!!!!It was the next best thing to having you here! Love and kisses, RARE COVAIR POWERED MOTORCYCLE SPOTTED AT HOT BIKE SHOW– Shot this relic @ the HOT BIKE Show Newport beach 6/15. I wasn’t able to speak with the person a the booth.

SIX PACK was one that travel the bike circuit in the late ’60s but was ridden extensively by Norm. I had the pleasure of working on it (1969) with Curt Hamilton as well as Norm’s HENWEIGH truck (fabbed grill, hood, fenders, cowl, fuel tank and bed frame circa 1972. He still has the truck). –Wil Phillips JIVE CONTEST–Win $35,000 toward the purchase of — a Harley Davidson V-Rod.Or just keep the cash!
