AT LAST RELIGIOUS TRUTHS– In these serious times of this world, it is important for all of us of all faiths to recognize these Four Deep Religious Truths……………

1. Muslims do not recognize Jews as God’s chosen people.

2. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.

3. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian World.

4. Baptists do not recognize each other at Hooters

POLICE WON?T STOP BOOBS ON BIKES–New Zealand – Police in Christchurch say they won’t be taking any action against a planned parade of topless women on motorbikes because it is a moral issue, not a criminal one.

The Boobs on Bikes parade is scheduled for the Christchurch city centre this Friday to publicise a sex industry expo.

Police say they have received a number of calls from upset residents about the parade, but can’t intervene unless a crime is committed.

Last year, Auckland City Council attempted to stop a similar parade going ahead there but were unable to cite a legal reason to justify a ban

KIL part

NEWEST VERSION OF KIL SWITCH–We are proud to introduce the newest version of our KIL Switch. This Black Wrinkle Powder Coat KIL Switch is in my opinion the coolest KIL Switch yet.

Also we just donated a polished KIL Motor Mount to Kevin Baas and the kids at Kennedy High School. The KIL Motor Mount will be completely disassembled and I will be giving a “hands on” class on soldering and wiring. (Thanks teach) The kids will be wiring, soldering and testing the KIL Switch themselves. We hope to see you and your Biker Net readers at the Donnie Smith Bike Show at the end of March.

HARLEY-DAVIDSON UPDATES GUIDANCE AS RESULT OF STRIKE– Milwaukee, Wis., February 27, 2007. Harley-Davidson, Inc. (NYSE:HOG) announced today that it is updating guidance for motorcycle shipments for the first quarter of 2007 and financial guidance for the full year. Guidance is being revised to reflect the impact of a three week strike that concluded Thursday, February 22, 2007, at the Company?s manufacturing facility in York, Pa. Full production at the Pennsylvania and Wisconsin plants is expected to resume over the next week. In all, the strike will result in a loss of approximately one month?s production. ?While we are pleased to have reached an agreement with our unionized employees in York, a disruption of this magnitude has a significant impact on our business, as well as our suppliers, dealers, employees and our retail customers,? said Tom Bergmann, Chief Financial Officer.

?Although the recovery process has begun, the immediate impact will be a reduction in our first quarter Harley-Davidson motorcycle shipments from our previous guidance of 82,000 – 84,000 units, to revised guidance of 64,000 – 66,000 units. We expect to make up approximately 4,000 ? 5,000 of these motorcycles during the remainder of the year resulting in full year shipment plans for approximately 14,000 fewer motorcycles than we originally planned.

This decision was made after carefully evaluating our production constraints, supply chain issues, cost implications, timing of shipments to dealers, and the delayed start of 2008 model year production caused by the strike,? said Bergmann.

For the full year 2007, Harley-Davidson now expects moderate revenue growth, lower margins, and earnings per share (EPS) growth in the range of 4 ? 6 percent compared to 2006. The Company expects its EPS growth rate to return to 11 ? 17 percent in 2008 and 2009.

THE NEWS IS NEVER DONE–As fast as we complete one news segment, more news rolls in and that?s cool. Goddamnit, that?s what we?re here for. Let me see if I can?t give you a taste of what Bikernet Staff members are up to. Johnny in Texas is working hard to dial in his garage for a complete Sucker Punch Sally bike build for his Iraqi Veteran Brother. You?ll see it featured here and in HOT BIKE. He just sent me a Lucky Devil Road King Bike feature?perhaps the sharpest stock Road King transformation ever. I may post it tonight. He?s also working with Darryl Briggs on a GOB (Girl of Bikernet Feature) with one of the Texas National Bike show winners. Johnny is also working with Julie at Big Dog to bring you the latest Big Dog news.

Lucky Devil Road King.

That?s just the tip of Johnny?s iceberg, if he ever sobers up. Wait, he also has a sharp Cyril Huze Bar Hopper feature to post. Okay, I?m waiting on shots from Paughco as they build our Assalt Weapan Frame. I?m anxious as hell. Tomorrow I plan to deliver an Evo engine to Fullerton H-D to be shipped to the factory for a reman process. Over 400 photos have been taken and we?ll bring you the works from start to finish. Markus Cuff and I just shot the Salt Shaker for a feature in HOT BIKE and the English bike mag Back Street Heroes. I?ll ship that out next week.

I?m waiting on images from Lee Clemens of Departure Bike works on our Bonne Belle the 45 flathead with K-Model top end. Get this, Lee is sending me a Sportster transmission to use with this mill. My mission is to take this chunk of Sportster case with the guts in it and make it work on the stock 1940 45 chassis. Any ideas?

Thanks to Chris Callen of Cycle Source magazine I have two, maybe three, highly refined articles to share with Bikernet readers. One article explains fender spinning. Another story takes a Harley Rider across the middle east. Incredible.
