Hey,
Does anyone know the ins and outs of shop roll-up doors? Ours may need some help. Of course the guy who came over pronounced after a short inspection, “You need a new door, quick.” That’s just $4,000. Ouch.
Biketoberfest is coming right up, and so is the Love Ride next weekend on opposite coasts. We will post updates as they roll in. We can’t seem to find Bikernet Betsy. She must be headed this way.
And get this. I just published a similar report from Florida and now this from the Week Magazine: A Long Island, N.Y., school has banned footballs, baseballs, and games of tag from school grounds to prevent students from getting hurt during recess. Weber Middle School officials say too many kids have gotten bumps, scrapes, and head injuries. Incredible. What’s this world coming to?
I went to the San Pedro Yacht club last night for dinner. It’s a casual affair on the docks with steaks wrapped in bacon, delicious. A small woman with wild shell bracelets all over her middle-aged wrists sat across from me and talked about her move to Equador and their fight with the government about chemically enhanced foods.

I was enjoying my dinner as the conversation heated up with attacks on Obama, support for leaving the country, and our dismal economy. The woman was kicked out of the club and a fight almost broke out. Times are tense. Let’s hit the news.

DAREDEVIL TO JUMP OVER ROSANNE BARR’S VAGINA– Motorcycle daredevil Robbie Knievel announced today that he will attempt to jump over Rosanne Barr’s vagina during a live televised event during the Fourth of July celebration in Las Vegas.
Robbie, son of famous daredevil Evil Knievel, said that this will be the longest jump he’s ever attempted. He has been planning the jump for nearly four years and with the recent backing from sponsors, he’ll be able to begin construction the ramp and finish work on a specially modified bike in time for the event.
“The bike must be able to withstand the caustic fumes and the motor must be able to run in the oxygen deprived environment but have enough power to get us over the bush,” said Knievel. ” We need special neoprene tires for this jump. Regular tires would degraded from the acidic gasses.”
Knievel said that without the help from the new sponsors, namely Vagisil Creams, Natural Caverns of Kentucky and Bob’s All-Ya Can Eat Roast Beef restaurant chain, he wouldn’t be able to afford the jump.
” We expect that the cost of the bike, the ramp structures and the 200 bucks for Barr appearance, it’s going to cost nearly one million Dollars to make the jump.”
Event promoter Jim Egelston told us, “This is going to be the most spectacular show any of us has ever seen. Not since the Dukes of Hazard jumped General Lee over Joan Collins pussy at the Emmy Awards, has anybody done anything so dangerous. If he don’t die, Robbie could end up with syphilis or genital herpes. You’ll definitively not want to miss this. “

NUDE FEMALE STREAKER– Waving American Flag Runs Through Presidents Cup Golf Tournament.
When streakers first emerged on the scene in the 1970s, they were a big deal, because public nudity was still taboo. Nowadays, of course, people drop their clothes at every opportunity, whether it’s Nude Week at the Ivy League, a Miley Cyrus music video, an attack on the Catholic Church, or a protest against the fashion world. Nevertheless, people still cheered and jeered at the Presidents Cup golf game when a woman clad only in skimpy underpants raced across the green and vanished into the woods.
Golf is usually a very sedate sport, and the Presidents Cup, which was held this year in Dublin, Ohio, at the Muirfield Village Golf Club, is no exception. Perhaps that’s why it made such a good story when the twenty- or thirty-something year-old young woman, with long brunette hair flowing halfway down her back, suddenly scampered like a bunny across the course, wearing only a red thong and, some “support the troops” stickers.
When she reached the end of her run, she unfurled a large American flag and, despite police efforts to detain her, was able to make her escape.

NEW TATTOO BOOK FROM THE DUKE–Wide range of artwork profiled in in new tattoo sketchbook by Tattoo Duke.
NORTH BRANCH, Minn.— Here’s a book that’s inspired by the Mexican culture and history. Artist Tattoo Duke has gathered his collection of drawings, from fully rendered color images, to collages and unique hand sketches, and compiled them into this amazing reference source.
Not only does this book feature artwork that could be described as “Gangsta” or “Street”, but it also features Aztec warriors, Raza-style artwork, Graffiti Art, even American Indian themes. The key, as with all art, is the shading. When the shading is done correctly it changes the entire impact of the artwork, whether it’s rendered in full color or simply sketched in black and grey.
This book features everything from beautifully, fully-shaded intricate collages, to simple sketches showing the design process. Tattoo Duke’s artwork is a must for any artist/client that celebrates Mexican culture through tattoo designs.
“Art comes in many different forms, as does your own individual identity. It’s just like a fingerprint. You have your own style and no one is to say how ‘perfect’ or ‘non-perfect’ it should be. Once you create your own art and get your own style down, never settle for simple, and always try to out-do your last piece,” says Tattoo Duke.
The 8.5 x 11” softbound book (ISBN: 978-1-935828-83-9) features 112 pages packed with 200 photos. This September 2013 release may be ordered for $32.95 plus $6.95 shipping and handling by calling CarTech at 1-800-551-4754 or by visiting www.cartechbooks.com.

BAD JOKES KEEP COMING–Don wanted desperately to have sex with this really cute, really hot girl in his office. But she was dating someone else.
One day Don got so frustrated that he went to her and said I’ll give you $100 if you let me have sex with you.
The girl looked at him and then said, “
NO!”
Don said, “I’ll be real fast. I’ll throw the money on the floor, you bend down and I’ll finish by the time you’ve picked it up.”
She thought for a moment and said that she would consult with her boyfriend.
Her boy friend says, “Ask him for $300 and pick up the money really fast.
He won’t even be able to get his pants down.
Then give me a call.” She agreed and accepts the proposal.
Over half an hour goes by and the boyfriend is still
waiting for his girlfriend’s call.
Finally, after 45 minutes the boyfriend calls and asks, “What happened?”
Still breathing hard, she managed to reply,
“The bastard had all quarters!”
Management lesson:
Always consider a business proposition in its
entirety before agreeing to it and getting screwed.

MAC BOLT REPORT FROM CALIFORNIA–
In 1978 CA passed a law that all motorcycles needed to have headlights on during daytime travel. You see cars were hitting us…so it must be because they couldn’t see us. Years of cage drivers killing motorcyclist with the entire blame being put on the motorcycle rider.
After several personal friends of ABATE members were killed in ROW violations and a court case where 2 twenty year olds were killed on a bike by a DUI cage driver; the final charge ROW violation. ABATE of CA, led by Jean Hughes, worked on a bill (SB 1021) to increase penalties for ROW violations. It was a great bill with increased fines and a point and a half added to your driving record for killing someone.
The bill passed, but all of the teeth were pulled by the Teamsters Union…so not so great.Of course for our safety, helmet laws were passed and the public was sold on helmets as though they were the ultimate safety answer; never mind that helmets are pretty much useless after 13.2 mph and only 4% of all motorcyclist deaths are strictly due to head injuries.
And of course cars keep killing motorcycle riders…and it is our fault.SB350 is about to be re-enacted to either restrict lane sharing or completely remove lane sharing. California has the largest number of motorcycle riders and the least amount of motorcycle rear end collisions, which is because we can scoot between cars.
And since cage drivers keep hitting us (and it is our fault); the safety lizard Nazi’s are meeting this month to think of new ways to restrict our freedom, and of course keep us safe.Scuttlebutt is lime green safety vests will be added to SB350. Oscillating head lights being considered. At one time a cap on horsepower and cubic inches was being discussed. Along with air bags fastened to your legs.
One company has come out with an air bag vest. Since Dale Earnhardt was killed by the added weight of his helmet, there was consideration of a harness for motorcycle riders to keep your head from being snapped off due to the helmet. Why not just not wear a helmet. Don’t be fooled by all of this safety crap. You, the American Biker represent something this government fears, the IDEA of Freedom.
You cannot control law abiding people. If you want to control a class of people you must criminalize what they do. If you, as a freedom loving American Biker want to fight back, join us…all motorcycle riders who want the right to choose are welcomed and needed in this fight. Join us in the Unification Rally.

Covington Parking Garages
The municipal parking garages in Covington used to have signs banning motorcycles. The signs were put up by the company running the facility for the city. Several months ago the KMA/KBA made the city officials aware of this policy and they agreed to look into it. After stating our case to the city folks, in particular a big shout goes to Larry Klein the City Manager, the company running the garages has removed the signs and reversed its policy. We have also submitted the idea to the city that where they have 1/2 sized parking spots which a car cannot utilize, that they create motorcycle only parking in these areas. This idea is still under consideration.
I would encourage all of members to stay involved with your local officials and present ideas such as this to them and see what can be accomplished. Remember the squeaky wheel gets the grease. If your area has a parking garage or other facility that does not allow motorcycles please let us know. But don’t stop there. Bring it to the attention of the city officials and ask that the policy be changed. You may be surprised what happens.

OHIO Judge tells man he is still legally dead– FINDLAY — A judge in Ohio told a man standing before him in court that he’s still legally dead. Donald Miller Jr. was declared legally dead in 1994, eight years after he disappeared from his home in the northwest Ohio town of Arcadia.
Miller went to court this week to have the ruling changed. But his former wife opposed the move.She says she doesn’t have the money to repay the Social Security benefits that were paid out to her and their two children after Miller was declared dead.The Courier newspaper in Findlay reports Miller’s former wife claims he vanished in the 1980s because he owed big child support payments. — Associated Press
