We’ve been encumbered at the ivory tower offices of Bikernet. Com interviewing new cantidates for an office position. It’s not so much the girls but the position that we are concerned with. I’m trying to move to the news and head to Margaritaville, but a buddy arrived at the headquarters with a kickstand problem that needed a remedy. So I’m running late. Let’s get to it:

STARRING: My book: Bikerlady: Living & Riding Free will be featured…as well as my music and lots of other Sasha projects…yeah! Best of all, I’ll be riding my bike free in the wind! –Sasha Ralph “Sonny” Barger (left), an icon among Hells Angels, talks with “Hoover” outside the Phoenix motorcycle shop that bears Barger’s name. ??????? Arizona Hells Angels War Predicted By Mike Rynearson/The Arizona Republic The deadly biker brawl in a Nevada casino earlier this year prompted state and federal law enforcement officials to warn that outlaw motorcycle gangs may be on the verge of a bloody war in Arizona. But leaders of the Hells Angels club claim the warning is part of an organized campaign by authorities to demonize guys who like to ride high and live free. “The government really wants a war, because when we’re not at war, they don’t have anyone to blame. They’re trying to agitate,” said Hells Angel icon and author Ralph “Sonny” Barger, sporting his club’s death-head tattoo during an interview at the Phoenix motorcycle shop that bears his name. The feud between law officers and outlaw bikers is nothing new, but rhetoric has escalated as a result of the April melee that left three dead in Laughlin. Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Schneider predicts a showdown between the Hells Angels, who dominate the state’s outlaw biker scene, and rival gangs such as the Mongols in California and the Bandidos in New Mexico and Nevada. Schneider says criminal motorcycle clubs are recruiting members and spreading around the globe, wrestling for status and narcotics markets. In the past six months, he says, groups such as the Bandidos, Outlaws, Pagans, Vagos and Rock Machine have formed a loose alliance against the dominant Hells Angels. “You might say I’m just an alarmist, but I don’t think we’re very far away from having a war here,” says Schneider, president of the International Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Investigators Association. Schneider, who recently won drug convictions against Hells Angels leaders from Arizona, South Africa and Massachusetts, calls the club a Mafia-like syndicate that hides behind a romantic image of venerable road warriors who collect toys for tots. ? Easyriders Shown At Southern California College Featuring a WideScreen Presentation of the Classic Film: Easy Rider with Special Guest: Peter Fonda! Tickets are on Sale Now at California Harley-Davidson, Friday, October 4th, 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. $25.00 per person. RIDE ITINERARY: Harleys new insurance policy, carry a spare. Liberty; going…going…gone–Vote Goddamnit! Thomas Jefferson once said; “the natural process of things is for government to gain ground and for liberty to yield.” Given enough time and government, eventually we’ll have no freedom left at all. The courts have been making decisions consistently over the last 30 years that erode our Bill of Rights protections in exchange for progress in the war on drugs. If you read the true history of the United States, (not the white-washed version they teach high school kids), you will notice that court decisions back in the 1800’s dealing with Indians were totally unconstitutional, but “politically correct” for the time. Indians were not allowed to own land, (there territories were confiscated) even when the U.S. Government had signed treaties protecting their land from white settlers, if gold was found on it, the settlers moved in anyway, and the courts allowed it to happen. The Supreme Court even ruled that Indians weren’t human, therefore they couldn’t own or buy property. Look at the process used to appoint new Supreme Court Justices. The sitting President selects justices he feels will uphold decisions he favors or because they are politically affiliated. In most court cases where the decision will damage national drug policy if the court rules in favor of the defendant, the justices will usually rule against the defendant, just bending the law “a little bit” in the process. As Thomas Paine warned, “an avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty because it leads a nation to stretch to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best laws.” To counter that tendency, he reminds us; “He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression, for if he violates his duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.” “While I admit the war on terrorism is a just cause, it sickens me to see how our politicians used this cause to push legislation through at a break-neck pace that further erodes our Bill of Rights. Some of the provisions in the terrorism bill failed to pass previously yet they were incorporated into this bill. Worse of all is the fact that these new laws will be used against our countrymen in the drug war and other investigations that have nothing to do with terrorism. –Rusty HAMC-BHC Fall Run down the Blue Ridge Parkway Watch for two new road stories on Bikernet from Jon Juniman including the Blue Ridge Parkway ride. Here’s a quote which indicates the level of terror and violence he experiences, “A bee hovers in front of me, smelling my leather jacket. Then he decides I’m not a flower and flies off. Sitting here on a park bench in the cool morning with a belly full of hot coffee, feeling the warm sun on my face and the pleasant tobacco buzz in my head, is pure heaven.” Are You Single And An Avid Motorcycle Enthusiast There is a website out there that has over 13,000 personals posted by men and women (most with photos) that share the same passion for bikes as yourself. They are single and want to hook-up with someone. To place a free personal and/or search the personals go to: http://www.mcmeet.com A Man’s Ability To Perform ? After a few years of married life, a man finds that he is unable to perform. He goes to his doctor, and his doctor tries a few things but nothing works. Finally the doctor says to him: “This is all in your mind,” and refers him to a psychiatrist. After a few visits, the shrink confesses: “I am at a loss as to how you could possibly be cured.” Finally, the psychiatrist refers him to a witch doctor. The witch doctor says: “I can cure this.” He throws some powder on a flame, and there is a flash with billowing blue smoke. The witch doctor says: “This is powerful healing, but you can only use it once a year! All you have to do is say ‘1-2-3’ and it shall rise for as long as you wish!” The guy then asks the witch doctor: “What happens when it’s over?” The witch doctor says: “All you or your partner has to say is ‘1234’ and it will go down. But be warned: it will not work again for a year!” The guy goes home and that night he is ready to surprise his wife with the good news. So, he is lying in bed with her and says: “1-2-3” and the magic works as as the witch doctor promised. His wife turns over and says: “What did you say ‘1-2-3’ for?” Hurricane? What Hurricane? How pathetic is this? It’s Friday night, and I’m stuck here writing you this note? The pizza?delivery person?just left. When I asked her if she needed any help on her other deliveries tonight, she just gave me that “are you one of those old weirdoes my mom warned me about?” It reminded me that I’m not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example! Anyway, I’ve gotten a few e-mails from some of you asking about any potential event cancellations. Here’s the scoop. Isadore is history and the fall rally in Panama is going to be held this weekend! In fact they’re having a blast while I’m here, hitting on the barely legal pizza delivery chic. If you’re need some info check the web at Killer Creek Harley-Davidson in Roswell The Open House at the Atlanta Motor Speedway has been cancelled for this weekend and is being rescheduled. Don’t ask me why, I only report the news…If you just gotta know, call 770-960-6000 after Oct 1st for the explanation and the rescheduled date.? For those Dixie Riders in Pennsylvania, Battlefield Harley-Davidson is hosting their anniversary party with the Phipps Brothers on Saturday. Next weekend at the fall rally in Myrtle Beach, Dixie Rider, Sonny Productions, American Bikers Guide, and the Kickin Horse Saloon of Charleston will put on?a free pig pickin at the Kickin Horse Myrtle Beach location. 4-7 pm on Saturday the 5th. (or till the pig is gone…hmmm that sounds like the title for a good country music top ten hit!) To find the Kickin Horse, ride down US 17 South to the Harley Dealer, when you leave there, travel south about 200 yards, and it will be on your right. Right across from the fireworks store. Beside the Iron Gate Saloon. Plenty of parking. Vendors, food, beer and babes. The only thing that would make this picture better is a winning lotto ticket. Oct 12th the Dixie Rider staff will be in Augusta Georgia, home of the ALL MALE AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Masters Golf Tournament. Easyriders of Augusta is having a humongous Swap Meet. The Big Dog transfer truck will be there handing out Big Dog Motorcycles to anyone who wants one. (certain paperwork required. See dealer for details) for more info call Cindy at 706-855-1260 Scott Cochran, What Did I Say?We had a board meeting of the Bikernet Board of directors in our lavish facility which was catered by the local dive bar. They brought stale Pretzels and Jack. We had to supply the ice. This is the responce I received to all my motions and ideas for the future of Bikernet. I only suggested that we write five techs a day, cover every event on the planet and feature more bikes than all the mags on the market combined. Was I pushin’ it? Let’s hit the road. It’s Margarita time. –Bandit ??
