BIKENET CORRESPONDENT TRAVELS TO SWEDEN TO COVER SHOW–Just got home from another killer show in Sweden.Got loads of pix from the show as well as feature shoots on five bikes.
I got a custom Weslake racer built by Mats Olofsson, the swedish Mike Lichter. A traditional Swedish long bike from Finland, the first place winner is a reproduction of a vintage board thrac racer with some really inovative modern touches, the Second place bike was the only Harley to place in the top three and has great attention to detail including a remote control opening right side gas tank that housed the blower and battery box it was made by a shop just outside of Amsterdam.
I also got a cool restoration of a 1952 Triumph Thunderbird
I’m gonna take a few days to recover from the party then I’ll start banging out features.Here are some shots of the top two winners and a few of the other bikes I shot for features.
One of the Twin Club guys is planning a trip to Cali in either November or December and asked me to find out for him what, if any, events are going on at that time so he can plan his vacation around them. Would you please let me know what’s cooking out there around that time so I can pass along the info to him?
I’ll get some features to you as soon as I sort through the photos and get to writing them up.

BIKERNET ITALIAN CULTURAL SEMINAR–Maria had just gotten married, and being a traditional Italian she was still a virgin. On her wedding night, staying at her mother’s house, she was very nervous.
Her mother reassured her. “Don’t worry, Maria, Tony’s a good man. Go upstairs and he’ll take care of you. Meanwhile, I’ll be making pasta.”
So, up Maria went. When she got upstairs, Tony took off his shirt and exposed his hairy chest.
Maria ran downstairs to her mother and says, “Mama, Mama, Tony’s got a big hairy chest.”
“Don’t worry, Maria,” said her mother, “All good men have hairy chests. Go upstairs. He’ll take good care of you.”
So, up she went again. When she got up in the bedroom, Tony took off his pants exposing his hairy legs.
Again, Maria ran downstairs to her mother. “Mama, Mama, Tony took off his pants and he’s got hairy legs!”
“Don’t worry! All good men have hairy legs. Tony’s a good man. Go upstairs and he’ll take good care of you.”
So, up she went again. When she got there, Tony took off his socks and on his left foot he was missing three toes.
When Maria saw this, she ran downstairs. “Mama, Mama, Tony’s got a foot and a half!”
“Here,” Mama said, “Stay here and stir the pasta.”

SCREAMIN’ EAGLE RACERS SET TO HELP LAUNCH SUMMER MEALS PROGRAM FOR MILWAUKEE AREA KIDS–MILWAUKEE (June 4, 2007) – As soon as the NHRA event at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Ill., is finished, the Screamin’ Eagle racing team will be quick to pack up and make the quick drive to Milwaukee.
Their AMA Flat Track teammates will be waiting and they all have work to do when Monday rolls around.
There will be plenty of lunch to be served on Monday (June 11) and the Screamin’ Eagle racers will be the ones serving it.
Harley-Davidson Motor Company and its factory-supported riders are going to be at Milwaukee’s Bethune Academy (1535 N 35th St, Milwaukee) to help kick off the Fueling Young Minds Summer Meal program. Fueling Young Minds provides free meals for Milwaukee area children throughout the summer.
Spurred by a $125,000 grant from the Harley-Davidson Foundation, the award-winning Fueling Young Minds summer meals program will feed meals to low-income children at more than 200 Milwaukee locations this summer, as well as provide dinner at 25 area schools. Harley-Davidson partners with the Hunger Task Force of Milwaukee, Milwaukee Public Schools and other non-profits in the public-private collaborative.
“Providing access to nutritious summer meals remains a high priority, and Harley-Davidson is committed to helping ensure that Milwaukee’s children receive healthy meals in safe, supervised locations,” said Harley-Davidson Foundation Manager Mary Anne Martiny. “We all have a responsibility to these children and to the community. The Harley-Davidson Foundation takes this responsibility very seriously.”
Andrew Hines, three-time NHRA POWERade Pro Stock Motorcycle champion, is anxious to help launch another great year of Fueling Young Minds. He and teammate Eddie Krawiec will race at Route 66 Raceway this weekend (June 7-10) before heading off to Milwaukee.
Defending AMA GNC Twins champion, Screamin’ Eagle factory rider Kenny Coolbeth, will be joined by his Wrecking Crew teammates Jared Mees, Bryan Smith and Joe Kopp.
“I think it’s great that I can do anything to help the next generation of children,” Hines said. “It’s so important that we give back to the community and it’s even more important that kids have good, healthy food to eat. I’m proud that my sponsor in racing is so involved with helping kids.”
Fueling Young Minds started in 2004 but Harley-Davidson Racing Manager Anne Paluso said that while this is the first time the race teams have been involved, it won’t be the last time the riders get involved with such a valuable cause.
More than 2 million meals have been served to Milwaukee children since the program’s inception in 2004. Parents, caregivers and neighbors can find out more about the nearest free meal site by calling the Milwaukee area IMPACT community service line by dialing 211.
The Screamin’ Eagle NHRA and AMA race teams will be at Bethune Academy on June 11 starting at 11 a.m.

You need to send it to me for editing and coding before it’s launched into the vast Bikernet Sportster Archives. I’ve got a question. I see the shell casings for the mufflers, but what about the pink chain? That’s against the code of the west.–Bandit
That chain is red, red, red! I guess I better shoot some better images.

BIKERS AND BOATERS COME TOGETHER–Bikers and boaters share a common attraction to horsepower and the feeling of the wind in their faces, as they enjoy the freedom of the road and water.
On June 9, bikers and boaters at Lake Winnipesaukee will share another bond-the interest in raising money for the Laconia Fire Dept. Life Saving Fund, in the memory of two fondly remembered locals, Peter Makris and Mark Miller. Makris was well-known as the amicable and loved Patriarch of the NASWA Resort, while Miller was known as a dedicated fire fighter, father and husband. While mourning their loss, we hope this fund raising event will keep their spirits alive and help others in the community.
Spread the word about this exciting Bike and Boat, Ride and Run Around the Lake on Saturday, June 9, starting and ending at the NASWA Resort.
Best always, Marilyn DeMartini for Extreme Boats Magazine and The Peter Makris Memorial Fund
