THIS YEAR’S FIRST CHRISTMAS JOKE– Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates.
“In honor of this holy season” Saint Peter said,”You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.”
The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. “It represents a candle”, he said. “You may pass through the pearly gates” Saint Peter said.
The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, “They’re bells.” Saint Peter said “You may pass through the pearly gates”.
The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women’s panties. St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, “And just what do those symbolize??
The man replied, “These are Carols.”
And So The Christmas Season Begins……

Other American rarities include a matched pair of late-?20s Indian 101 Scouts, an Ohio-produced 1913 Flying Merkel board-tracker and a 1909 Reliance from New York. For international flavor, there?s a French-built 1897 De Dion Bouton, a 1926 Brough Superior Alpine Grand Sports, a 1973 Kawasaki Z1 and a 1974 BMW R90S.
In addition, the calendar features dozens of photos of AMCA members and their classic machines, along with plenty of important dates in motorcycling history and a guide to AMCA vintage meets and road runs for the entire year.

Super Trick LED Turn Signal/Marker Lights by Joker Machine–Joker Machine keeps coming up with more bolt-on goodies for the discriminating rider. Visibly inspired by modern aircraft technology, these turn signals/marker lights make use of the latest computer-assisted design. They look great on Caf? Racer motorcycles and special project bikes alike.
Each signal uses a set of nine bright, amber-colored LEDs, arranged in a horizontal array module for major light output. Signals mount onto surfaces that have a 5/16-inch hole (8 MM) and only need 2 wires each.
These small units may be placed in a multitude of positions, anywhere on the side of the fender and/or headlight bracket or basically anywhere, and rotated into virtually any upward-and-downward setting. Signals measure 1-13/16″ (L) X 5/8″ (W) X 7/8″ (H) and are available in clear or hard black anodized finishes. They retail for $129.95 a pair.
The Metric dudes are going to really like Joker Machine?s license and turn signal bracket for the late-model Ducati Hypermotard. All parts (body & bezel) are fully CNC-machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum.
Drop by www.jokermachine.com to check this and many more cool things out.

VICTORY MOTORCYCLES CORE concept makes first appearance outside the USA–CORE is a concept motorcycle designed and built by the Victory Motorcycles Industrial Design team to show what a performance cruiser of the future could look like. It consists of only the essentials: engine, frame, wheels and front suspension, with a hard-tail rear end. The Carole Nash Motorcycle Show will be the first opportunity to see the CORE concept outside the USA and British bike fans are expected to marvel at the futuristic design concept.
When the Victory Motorcycles design team decides to build a concept motorcycle, they go all-out and push every aspect of their own performance. Leveraging decades of design and fabrication experience and the considerable knowledge that comes only from designing full-on production motorcycles, Polaris Lead Industrial Designer Michael Song will be available to meet visitors and the press on the Victory stand and is looking forward to seeing the reaction of British consumers, ?CORE is pure motorcycle,? Song said. ?We wanted to strip everything not critical and build a motorcycle that uses some of the production technologies we have incorporated into the Victory Vision. The frame and engine architecture of the Victory Vision was our inspiration ? but we wanted to make a statement beyond ?custom? and create something completely unique.?
Song, known for his design input on the Victory Vision luxury-touring models that debuted in 2007, chose to go a completely different direction with his latest design project. One notable difference between the Victory Vision Street and Tour production motorcycles and the CORE Concept Motorcycle is the absolute absence of bodywork on the CORE. In fact, the concept bike?s frame, which was made by pouring molten aluminium into a sand core, is the body; incorporating fuel, airbox, battery box and the entire electrical system. Maintaining the minimalist theme, the motorcycle is a rigid frame without rear suspension and features a contoured mahogany seat. The overall impression is a thin, low, sharp and purposeful motorcycle that is elemental and fierce at the same time.
The Victory CORE concept motorcycle incorporates technologies and construction methods that only a major manufacturer could engage. Built around a Victory Freedom? 106/6 Stage 2 power plant (1731cc), producing 97 horsepower and 113 ft/lb of torque, the CORE introduces a completely modern take on an American motorcycle using both personal design values and industrial production techniques to create the ultimate useable concept machine.
Come and see for yourself; the CORE will be on display at the NEC on Stand 1E30 in Hall 1, along side Victory motorcycles full 2010 model line up.
A WORD FROM THE BIKERNET OFFICE STAFF IN GERMANY–Thanks for the warm words on Sunday regarding your contributors.I’ll be at Essen three or four days and could make a roundup for you.We started today with a biker-breakfast, the traditional start forthe (kinda small) section of bikes on that show.
Though the Motorshowis first of all a car- and car-tuning-show there is still a place forbikes and bikers. I’ll keep you informed. The show itself starts onSaturday for the public and lasts 10 days. A video from last year’sshow with masterbuilder Fred Kodlin can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/pixelgarage2008?gl=DE&hl=de#p/u/43/2QRE1plLmAQ
