EDITOR RETURNS TO BIKERNET–Hey, I’m back. Pulled in a couple of hours ago. Was nice not dicking on a computer for a few days, and nicer oggling the hard bellies on the beach.
As expected, I rode through some light rain on the way out Saturday. It stayed with me from about 40 miles east of Raleigh until I hit the first bridge at the Alligator River. Then the sun popped out and I started peeling off rain gear and leather.
I still can’t get used to dropping $15 to fill up the tank when it used to cost $5 not long ago. Reckon those days are gone forever.

While the Lieutenant Governor may not make his entrance on a motorcycle, he?s certainly no stranger to the event?s important cause. As executive director of the Children?s Home Society, he is particularly familiar with the community?s outstanding commitment to the ?Kids? of Kids & Chrome. ?I?m really looking forward to this year?s Kids & Chrome event,? said Lt. Gov. Daugaard. ?We are so appreciative of the tremendous support from everyone involved with Kids & Chrome. I?m looking forward to welcoming guests from around the world and thanking them for their support, which will make a difference in the lives of children for generations to come.? Lt. Gov. Daugaard will be joined on stage by Performance Machine?s Ted Sands, the event emcee, and Mount Rushmore National Memorial Superintendent Gerard Baker, who will give the invocation. Each year, Kids & Chrome unites motorcycle enthusiasts, industry leaders, celebrities, custom bike builders, civic leaders, and community members for an evening of festivities that benefit two important organizations. Guests socialize, bid on silent and live auction items, enjoy a gourmet meal, and best of all, provide critical funding for Children?s Home Society and the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame. Children?s Home Society provides a therapeutic home and school for children with emotional and behavioral issues. The Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame, the event?s ?Chrome? beneficiary, preserves the history of motorcycling and honors the men and women who have advanced the sport and lifestyle.

SPECTRO OILS COMES TO BIKERNET–When we say ?Cruiser? we?re talking about a V-twin. Yours could be a stock Harley, a big Yamaha, or a one-off custom. It could be clean and simple or fully-decked. It could be old school or radical. No matter – it?s meant to look good, ride great, sound strong, and rule the road!And no matter which it is, Spectro has the right products ? a complete line of Heavy Duty products engineered to deliver optimum performance and protection for Harley-Davidson and other American V-twin engines. a full line of lubricants for V-twin metric cruisers meeting or exceeding JASO MA and all known OEM requirements. Either way, we?ve got you covered! Bikernet, Bikernet Metric and our esteemed Rogue are scheduled to test and use Spectro products in up coming techs and bike builds. Watch for everything from simple oil changes to front end rebuilds and brake installs.–Wrench 2008-05-27 – BMW K1200GT ConversionPerfect Touring–The BMW K1200GT conversion from Motorcycle Accessory Hornig GmbH was presented for the first time at the BMW Motorcycle Mountain Days in Kaprun, Austria and the visitors loved it. The BMW deluxe Tourer is already a very good motorbike but Hornig tried to design it unique and to improve its touring and comfort qualities as well as individualizing it for the driver. BIKERNET IN SEARCH OF BIG NORTON TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH–I just received a report on the Bonne Belle being assembled in Richmond at Departure Bike Works. They’re rebuilding the 1940 45 flathead engine with a K-model top end for performance. We attempted, with the help of S&S, to build a separate 5-speed Sportster transmission to replace the existing 3-speed stock unit, but it wouldn’t fit. “We tried everyway but Sunday,” Lee Clemens, the boss of Departure, said, “but she wouldn’t go.” We’re onto plan B and Lee suggested a tough classic Norton transmission. If you can help contact me, Bandit@bikernet.com or Lee Clemens at Departure (see banner below). So there’s the news for this week and we’re scrambling with some heated projects. Some are still top secret, but I’m itchin’ to release the news. In the meantime hang on for Sturgis Bikernet Brouhaha event news. We now have Custom Chrome, Spectro Oils and Dupont Hot Hues as sponsors. We have a number of features headed your way from the Branson’s Military Build-off winner, Brass Balls Bobber, which will be posted this weekend to Scott Long’s Chopper Challenge scooter and South Side’s Red Cross Softail plus a Triumph bobber from Two Wheelers in Denver. More Girls of Bikernet are headed our way from Arizona and overseas, plus I need to launch a chapter of World Run in the Cantina. Damn, there’s more. I’m still working with the Indian Crew to bring you a feature on their new plant on Devil’s mountain in NC. But just when you think there’s peace for Indians, another tribe scrambles the mix. We interviewed John White from Crazy Horse Engineering in the north west. He bought all the leftover Power Plus Engines and the rights to build them when the Gilroy Indian shut down. He’s now refined them and is supplying them to the public, but that’s not all. He’s poised to build another line of Indians and buy up the whole tamale if it ever comes available. I’ll bring you a complete report on his engines in the next couple of weeks. Dar at Brass Balls builds bikes with the new V-Plus 100-inch engines, and we may start building our mudflap girl bike using one of these engines and a Brass Balls frame in the very near future. Hang on for more reports. I also need to write another chapter of Badlands, stories captivating the life and times of hardened criminals, like Rogue. He’s next on the list and I’m honored to write his story. In the meantime it’s time to ride. Ride Forever, –Bandit
