NEW PRODUCT FROM STEALTH ENGINEERING–Here are some pics of a great new product. It is a storage rack for your detachable tour pak when not in use. It saves the tour pak from getting scratched and beat up. Stealth Bike Works and Alternative Machine have teamed up on this one.
It mounts to any wall in minutes and folds down once the tour pak is in place to save space. It retails for $99.95, not a bad price considering what a tour pak cost and the cost to repair scratches. The Tour-Pak storage rack is available at STEALTH BIKE WORKS, 704-882-0889. Later!
BIKERNET HELICOPTER RIDES–Morris and his wife Esther went to the State Fair every year. And everyyear Morris said, “Esther, I’d like to ride in that helicopter.”
Esther always replied, “I know, Morris, but that helicopter ride is fiftydollars. And fifty dollars is fifty dollars.”
One year Esther and Morris went to the fair and Morris said, “Esther, I’m85 years old. If I don’t ride that helicopter today, I might never getanother chance.”
Esther gave her usual reply: “Morris, that helicopter ride is fiftydollars. And fifty dollars is fifty dollars.”
The helicopter pilot overheard this exchange. So he told the couple,”Folks, I’ll make you a deal. I’ll take both of you for a ride. If you canstay quiet for the entire time and not say a word, I won’t charge you. Butif either of you says a single word, it’ll cost you fifty dollars.”
Morris and Esther agreed and so up they went. The pilot did all kinds offancy maneuvers – but not a word was heard. He did all of his dare-deviltricks more than once; still not a word.
When they landed, the pilot said to Morris, “By golly, I did everything Icould to get you two to yell but you didn’t. I’m impressed!”
Morris replied, “Well, I was going to say something when Esther fell out,but fifty dollars is fifty dollars.”

One of the latest projects to go forward to production is a trike kit based on a 1939 Ford. The conversion can be applied to any Softail, from 1984 up to current models. The kit consists of all the major assemblies including the swingarm and a rear axle and differential unit manufactured exclusively for the conversion. The caliper and rotors for the disc brake assemblies are sourced from Brembo. There is a choice of wheels, including spoked or Chevrolet style for the ‘Old School’ look. In 15 x 9 size and fitted with 265/50 x 15 tires, these are said to give an excellent ride. The fiberglass bodywork is supplied unpainted and the kit is packaged complete with all instructions and the necessary assembly hardware. A deep-seat rigid version of the trike is also available.

So he says, “Why do you carry around such a long duffle bag?” The second guy responds, “Well, I’m a hit man and this is my rifle.” And he pulls out a sniper rifle with an extremely long scope. So the first guy, intrigued by the intimidating gun, asks if he can look through the scope of the gun, and the hit man agrees. The guy says, “Wow, I can see my house from here! I can even see my wife from here… And . . . that?s my neighbor in MY house with MY wife!” The guy, putting down the riffle says to the hitman, “How much do you chargefor a hit?” The hitman says, “My going rate it $1000 per hit.” The guy pulls out his wallet and hands the hitman 2000$ and says, “I’d like you to shoot my wife in the head, and my neighbor in the johnson. That should teach them!” So the hitman picks up the rifle, takes aim, and pauses for several seconds. The anxious man says, “Why are you waiting?” So the hitman replies, “Hang on, I think I can save you 1000 bucks.” –from Art Friedman DRAG ADDS TROUBLEMAKERS– ‘TROUBLEMAKER’ exhaust systems from Hooker Headers are now available from Drag. Hooker claims these are 2-1/2in diameter pipes that really work thanks to the internal stepped design and which should also eliminate blueing. Hooker’s 38 years of exhaust design experience have enabled the company to design a system said to increase top-end horsepower without sacrificing bottom end torque, a common problem with other big bore systems. The pipes feature a metallic ceramic coating on the internal head pipes helping to retain heat and increase exhaust velocity. There are systems for Softails, Dynas and 2005-model Sportsters, with straight-, slash- or scallop-cut ends. Hooker Headers also offers a choice of baffle cartridges. The standard cartridge is described as a ‘deep rumble’, a popular option for enthusiasts. Alternative cartridges give a smooth, mellow sound or improved flow at the expense of a loud exhaust note. Troublemaker systems are supplied complete with gaskets, C-clips, chromed flanges, machined brackets and detailed instructions. BIKERNET DATING ADVICE–“Michael, if you were on a date— having supper with a nice young lady,how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?” Michael said, “Just a minute I have to go pee.” The teacher responded by saying, “That would be rude and impolite.” What about you Peter, how would you say it?” Peter said, “I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I’llbe right back.” “That’s better, but it’s still not very nice to say the word bathroom atthe dinner table.” “And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show usyour good manners?” “I would say: ‘Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have toshake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope you’ll get tomeet after supper.” The teacher fainted –from Chris T.

Tim Doherty, CEO of Doherty Machine, has just announced the release of what is certainly one of the most significant new products developed for the TwinCam 88 since its introduction in 1999. According to Doherty the single largest complaint of TC owners is the oil mist released through the engine breather system that ultimately ends up coating the side of the bike, rider and passenger.<P>Until now, there have been a number of what amount to “band aid” patches for the problem but none have produced notable permanent results.<P>In stark contrast to these temporary patch techniques, Doherty’s new MYSTFREE air/oil separation module eliminates the oil mist problem permanently!Both in house and independent tests have shown that the MYSTFREE unit eliminated 99% of the oil residue emitted from TwinCam machines in good mechanical condition. Tested in engines ranging from the stock 88 up to 154 ci, Doherty’s unique device controlled virtually all misting normally associated with a build up in crank case pressure and inadequate oil pump scavenging. A direct bolt in replacement for the factory module,<P>MYSTFREE can be installed in about an hour with no additional modifications. There are currently a number of patents pending on MYSTFREE which retails for $229.95.<P>For complete details call 928-541-7744 or visit <http://www.dohertymachine.com>http://www.dohertymachine.com <P>–Rogue<br /><http://www.bikerrogue.com>www.bikerrogue.com<P><I>We?re working with Rogue and Doherty on a tech, coming soon to Bikernet.–Bandit</I></p>
