Our bikernet memorial to the Buell from the 2001 run to Sturgis now hangs over the Garage.
It’s one of those days. I can’t seem to download an image. I tried to take shots of the Buell tank and all the camera batteries are dead. The women around here are going in four different directions and the weather can’t decide to rain or be record breaking hot.
The touring chopper fabricated by Jesse James was sold recently. I’ve been detailing it for the last two weeks. I replaced the custom bagger with a 2003 Road King Classic and you’ll discover in the news today that we are beginning a department on this King so you can watch what we do to the latest Twin Cam EFI model.
Until the Touring Chopper is loaded on the Gold truck and heading for the east coast we have suspended work on the Shrunken FXR. As of sometime next week the Shrunken FXR will return to the lift.
What else can I tell you. Ah screw it, let’s get to the news. Hopefully, by the end the Jack will flowing, the sun shinning and naked women will return:

STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS–Where is the spirit of independence, the outspoken voice of young collegestudents, and civil rights advocates who we saw in the 60’s? In thosedays educated young people spoke out against injustice in government, inmass. They didn’t sell out for the dollar and bury their principles. Theystood up for what they believed was right.
As it is today, most young eligible voters choose not to vote. They don’tbelieve their vote counts anymore. They’ve seen government bulldoze it’sway through groups of opposition, as they did in the 60’s and early 70’s,through oppressive legislation targeting young college students, hippies,and the black civil rights movement.
Most liberal minded people have resigned themselves to believe that theconservative vote represents the majority of the population, when in factthe conservatives are the minority of people.
The reason conservative politics have such a firm grip on our country isbecause most conservatives vote! Liberal minded people out numberconservatives 2 to 1. You can turn this country! All you have to do is getoff your apathetic asses and vote. You out number the opposition 2 to 1,take advantage of this fact. Are you sheeple or people? You have the powernow, to turn our government back over to the people through your vote. Useit!
Have you had enough of the drug war?
Do you want to see serious reforms in government, and get rid of the lifelong bureaucrats that have been feeding at the corporate through? Do you want regular people in high offices, or oil billionaires that usegovernment assets to further their empires?Open minded liberal people, stand together, and send a message through theballot box that you’ve had enough.

THE OZARK ED REPORT–This was a great weekend. Big boss man had a party for his client list on Friday evening and I had to go. I had gone to Ruthman’s shop about 3 and I was trashed when I left. I went home and got my girl and we were late getting to the party. I hate those kind of things because it’s usually a bunch of suits talking about work or golf.
I noticed a guy I used to work with several years ago and he was now working for a big company and he said he will send me work. Big boss man had bought some door prizes and I told my buddy to pick what he wanted. He picked the dvd player and I rigged the drawing in his favor. He was a happy little geek.
We went on the titty bar tour after the drawing and Tiny was there. Big ugly rich chick was there but nutcase Ned wasn’t. she was on every one in the club with a dick. I told her to get off of me because I had no interest. I was nice but I’ll get ugly if I need to. After the club closed I took my girl to a little neighborhood swimming pool and we climbed the fence and went for a nice little swim. It felt so nice. When we got home about 4, my buddy across the street was just about to leave for his camping trip. I’m going in, he’s coming out.
Me and my girl took stripper Sam out to Tiny’s for dinner Saturday night. We got all fucked up and then went for a ride down to the river. There is a barge in the river that is a restaurant, and they had a horrible band playing outside. We sat on the bank of the river and burned while heckling them. They suck so bad. Ihope they play for free. On the way home I kept hearing tingling sounds when I leaned around left hand curves. I pulled over and found that I had a hole in my tool bag and all my shit was hitting the ground. Pissed me off.
I don’t know what’s going on. It’s supposed to be like a thousand degrees but It’s in the 70’s and 80’s. The nights are cold on the scooter. I’m not bitching, but it looks like rain every day, and you just don’t know what to do. Should I risk the rain and ride or take the rag top? I just go back and forth. I take the bike in the morning and the rag at lunch. I took my girl for a rag top ride last night after it got cold. It was so nice, I hope it lasts.

What A Fuckin’ Genius–The other night I took this picture ofBandit’s foot. I thought to myself how clever he was to use duct tape sincewe didn’t have any medical tape and he had to cover the burn he got fromwelding in order to put on his shoes. It reminded me of a comedian yearsago who use to joke about the things men will fix with duct tape. Well,here’s where you readers come in. I want pictures and stories of how ducttape saved your day, fixed your bike, saved your home or whatever theoccasion may be.
If you have a good story, send it to sinwu@bikernet.comand I’ll send you some Bikernet stickers. You must include your address ifyou want some stickers.

BIKERNET ON PARENTING–A mother accompanied by her small daughter, was in New York City. The mother was trying to hail a cab, when her daughter noticed several wildly dressed women who were loitering on a nearby street corner. The mother finally hailed herself a cab and they both climbed in, at which point the young daughter asked her mother, “Mommy, what are all those ladies waiting for by that corner?”
The mother replied, “Those ladies are waiting for their husbands to come by and pick them up on their way home from work.”
The cabby, upon hearing this exchange, turns to the mother and says, “Ah, c’mon lady! Tell your daughter the truth! For crying out loud … They’re Hookers!”
A brief period of silence followed, and the daughter then asked, Mommy, do the Hooker ladies have any children?”
The mother replied, “Of course, dear, where do you think New York cab drivers come from?”
