HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE CYCLE WORLD INTERNATIONAL SHOWS PRESENTED BY TOYOTA–Well the show series concluded its 6th round this past weekend as the tour arrived at the San Mateo County Expo Center. So far the show is living up to the hype of being bigger and better than ever this year as more than 220,000 attendees have passed through the gates thus far to see the latest and greatest from the motorcycle industry.
So far the show has covered more than 1.5 million square feet of space with more than 750 exhibitors on hand displaying various products related to the powersports industry, with even more on tap for the second half of the show series.
So much has happened in the first six rounds its hard to recap in this newsletter but we’ll touch on a few items and take a look at what’s ahead as we prepare for the holidays and the new year.
THE STEALTH INVESTIGATION REPORT FROM NC–If you are not ready for Christmas, you had better get on the stick! You are running out of time! Merry Christmas to Mr. Bandit and everyone at Bikernet!
This week at STEALTH BIKE WORKS it has been laid back. We worked on service jobs and the shop project. Our Christmas party is Saturday and we are looking forward to it. I think it will be a good time. It is our way of saying “Thanks” to all of our customers.
We got some art work back today for our Rigid, Evo, Ape Hanger bike and Rusty did a great job ! It adds a little something to the bike. We are going to put that bike in the Easyrider show here in Charlotte in January.
Not much else to talk about. All of us here at STEALTH BIKE WORKS would like to wish each and everyone of you who read this every week a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! Take time or make time for those closest to you, that is more valuable than any gift you may receive! Be thankful for what you have and don’t dwell on what you don’t have. There is always someone who would gladly trade places with you. Hey, if you get a chance, give yourself a gift Christmas day, go for a RIDE!! So with that I will close it out.
Until next week, RIDE!

ALL NEW FOR THE WEB BIKERNET COOKING CLASS– A cannibal was walking through the jungle and came upon a restaurant opened by a fellow cannibal.
Feeling hungry, he sat down and looked over the menu…
Broiled Missionary: $10.00
Fried Explorer: $15.00
Baked Politician: $100.00.
The cannibal called the waiter over and asked, “Why such a price difference for the politician?”
The cook replied: “Have you ever tried to clean one?”

THE TOUGH WORK BEHIND ANY BIKERNET TECH ARTICLE– I’ve been working on your seat segment for hours. What’s happened is I have a millon shots all taken at different times, and I didn’t put them in any sequence when I filed them. They’re all over the place. So I’ve been trying to separate them and put them in order for you to do your tech segment, so you’ll have to leave it with me and I’ll get it to you as soon as I can. I was hoping to finish it for you tonight but it’s 10.30 p.m., and I’m about done. Tomorrow’s out as I have my family coming for a Christmas lunch.

Thinks he’s in a quandary. He made me a seat and now I’ve got to build a bike around it.–Bandit
HELL FIGHTERS KEEP BIKERS IN CHRISTMAS SPIRIT–DEADWOOD – During the Christmas season motorcycling is usually the farthest thing from people’s minds.But for the Hell Fighters Motorcycle Club, it’s always at the forefront as the group strives to help people year-round while using their biker status to spread their message.
The Christian group focuses on evangelization projects, as well as other charitable projects that benefit the community as a whole. This Christmas season members have set up drop boxes throughout the Lead-Deadwood area for clothing and non-perishable food items that can be taken to less fortunate families in the area.
“We just want to help people,” said group member Bill Rich. “Part of our mission statement is to try to help widows, orphans and poor people.”
In addition to the food drive, Rich said the small group of about five members also wants to start raising money to put in a fund to help victims of house fires. Further, he said the group wants to start raising money to provide computers for families who don’t have them, so children can use the Internet for school.
But for now, Rich said, the food/clothing drive is a good starting point. When the drive is over at the end of this week, he said the group will deliver the items to various families in the Northern Hills who have been identified by local pastors as needing assistance. Drop off locations include the Wooden Nickel, Chris Cuts It, and First Baptist Church in Deadwood, and the First National Bank in Lead.
“There are a lot of people who don’t like getting food stamps,” Rich said of part of their reasons for the food drive. “I guess they have a lot of pride and so we are trying to seek out those people. We identified one widow, she has six children and she is trying to make it. We’re going to take some food to them.”
For more information about the Hell Fighters Motorcycle Club or the food/clothing drive contact Rich at 580-5885.

HELMET LAWS, THE REAL SKINNY–People who don’t ride motorcycles always think they know more than people who do.Long-time riders know that the only way to avoid injury with a car is to avoid the accident. That shiny helmet might protect the head, but the energy of the impact will telegraph to the neck/spinal column, which breaks at only 7 pounds of pressure . . . save the “head trauma,” create a paraplegic. Spines, spleens and necks are all one snap away from terrible injury when a car hits a bike, and that is how accidents happen. It has nothing to do with horsepower; it has everything to do with cars taking the right-of-way from a bike. Helmet do-gooders never mention this, although it is an indisputable fact. If you want to save biker lives, take the cellphones away from housewives in SUVs full of screaming kids. If you want to save biker lives, give us some respect instead of running us off the road with your Beemer. You want a helmet law? Make it across the board, in cars as well; see how much “sense” that one makes. – Tim Galus, Scottsdale –from Rogue CUSTOM CHROME NOW OFFERING TERMINAL VELOCITY FROM TERRY COMPONENTS–Morgan Hill, CA- On the tails of its successful first ever Vendor Council, Custom Chrome adds another industry leading product, Terminal Velocity by aftermarket fuel management leader, terry Components to its evolving line up. “The number one goal behind developing the Custom Chrome Vendor Council was to create deeper relationships with the suppliers providing industry leading products to the v-twin marketplace. Following the first meeting, we are seeing productive results like the addition of Terminal Velocity” said Holger Mohr, President, Custom Chrome. “Our dealers are very excited about the new additions and the positive movement inside Custom Chrome” finished Mohr. Terry Components, founded by Keith Terry has secured its place as the industry leader in aftermarket fuel management systems. With a successful career working on fuel management in the automotive industry under his belt, Terry pursued his other passion bikes. He began working on systems for bikes starting with complete starter systems for big inch bikes. Keith created the Terminal Velocity product by combining his expertise along side the design experts at Delphi and General Motors. The result of the collaboration was a closed loop system that benefits dealers by allowing retention of the original ECU that has EPA approval and by benefiting riders by self adjusting during normal riding conditions after the rider has changed out pipes, installed performance parts or is riding in a different altitude as an example. Terminal Velocity’s other great benefit is that it is a one time buy due to its self adjusting capabilities. Terminal Velocity units for fuel injected Harley-Davidson’s from 1995-2007 are available NOW from Custom Chrome Dealers.
