AMY, A BLONDE, MARRIES A TEXAS RANCHER– One morning, on his way out to check on the cattle, the rancher says to Amy: “The artificial-insemination man is coming over to impregnate one of our cows today. I drove a nail into the two-by-four just above the cow’s stall in the barn. You show him where the cow is when he gets here, okay?” The rancher leaves for the fields.
After a while the artificial-insemination man arrives and knocks on the front door. Amy takes him down to the barn. They walk along a long row of cows and when she sees the nail, she tells him: “This is the one; right here.”
Impressed by what he assumed was just another ditzy blonde, the man asks “How did you know this is the cow to be bred?”
“That’s simple: by the nail over its stall,” Amy explains.
The man asks, “What’s the nail for?”
As she walks away, Amy looks back over her shoulder and says, “I guess it’s to hang your pants on.”

REMEMBER TO SECURE YOUR MOTORCYCLE AT BIKE WEEK– BIKE THEFTS SURGE It’s no secret that in the last five years, the motorcycle market has experienced phenomenal growth. Sales have doubled since 1999 and reached their highest levels in three decades. Unfortunately, going hand in hand with that has been an alarming increase in the instances of bike theft.
The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) reports that motorcycle theft increased more than 55% from 2002 to 2003 in the U.S. and Canada. That’s one bike stolen every 9.5 minutes. Of these stolen bikes, only 25-30% were recovered.
What are the most effective means of protecting your ride? A survey conducted last spring by Opinion Research Corporation indicated what bike owners are currently doing: 88% always keep their bikes concealed in a garage or storage area when parked at home; 80% remove their keys from their parked bikes; 76% use locks; 62% park in a well-lit area and 47% use kill stitches in an attempt to prevent theft.Only 16% use alarms.

MAN WITH HIS EAR TO THE INDUSTRY– I was at the Indianapolis motorcycle vendor show last week and I met a guy “John” Covington of the TV show STEEL DREAMS. He said he knows you and we talked about how to make a buck with my custom ear plugs in the mc world. This is bigger than the mc world, it just got it start here because of loud pipes. There was 1 million sq feet of vendors which consisted of numerous motorcycles, countless parts manufactures, apparel suppliers, helmet manufactures, and you name it.
We were the only company promoting hearing protection and custom molded in ear appliances. We signed up several mc dealers/shops that will be offering the custom molded plugs in house. The guy who finished first in formula 1 auto racing is going to take it to the circuit and sponsor his car. I walked the floor and met with 3 companies that have in helmet communication systems and they have agreed to include a port for our custom molded stereo headphones.
The BMW owners group stopped by and is going to test our stuff against what ever is out there. We will win and then they are going to endorse the products. We are meeting in FL next Monday-Tuesday to license 2 products to IRONMAN. They are the BIGEAR IRONMAN swim plug and BIGEAR IRONMAN ULTIMATE CHAMPION stereo head set, which is also endorsed by the bmw owner group. How many triathlons are there???? Do you know anyone in the hearing aid business???
Please take a minute and go to http://www.bigearinc.com. The site is not impressive, but the concept is real. This is in its infancy.

BUBS INTERNATIONAL MOTORCYCLE SPEED TRIAL IN BONNEVILLE SPONSORED BY BIKERNET.COM– I wanted to touch base with you regarding sponsorship of the BUB Meet. I am getting together some graphics for you so that we can put more information on the Bikernet website. Can you give me some sizes etc for banners, logos etc in the spaces that you would anticipate to place our information.
We really need to build our sponsorship base to support the event. As you can imagine this is expensive to put on and without the financial support of our sponsors it can become very difficult!
We are wanting to print some poster soon to include as many sponsors as possible. If you have any leads that I could follow up on.
I also have more sponsorship packets immediately available should anyone need one.
Cheers!
