NEW FROM JOKER MACHINE–05-75 Billet Taillight/Tilted License Plate FrameThe first replacement taillight/tilted license plate frame assemblies for Harley’s new ’06 Bobtail Softails with the 200mm rear tire is here! Made in America at Joker’s Montclair, California facility, the new ’06-up Bobtail taillight/frame features Joker’s LED lighting unit for running, brake and turn signal functions.
Simply unbolt the unsightly plastic plate frame and ill-fitting taillight and upgrade the look of your bike with this slick new unit. Installation can be done in under an hour with simple hand tools and wiring couldn’t be easier thanks to Joker’s Plug N Play wiring harness. No cutting, stripping, or splicing of wires is necessary. Just unplug the factory harness plugs and plug them right into the new taillight.
This is easily one of the best bang-for-the-buck cosmetic changes you can make to your new Softail. Available at your local Drag Specialties dealer or direct from Joker Machine at http://www.jokermachine.com/
SHA-SHA FINE SHOES WITH BILLY LANE–, which describes itself as a manufacturer of “alternative- style footwear for men and women”, has followed up the success that its dealers had with Billy Lane Shoes by introducing a new signature line for the motorcycle industry.
Co-created by master chopper builder Matt Hotch of Hot Match Motorcycles, the three- time winner on the Discovery Channel’s Biker Build-Off series, Matt’s personal style of riding in low top deconstructed athletic shoes inspired Sha-Sha to work with him to develop the new signature line.
The shoes will be available from Sha-Sha dealers throughout the United States and Canada and distributed through selected motorcycle parts distributors.

EDITORIAL AGAINST MAY OF MYRTLE BEACH–He Says He has the right to nudge you with his car if you’re wearing an obscene t-shirt!
Man, I hate to say this, but it seems the Mayor of Myrtle Beach South Carolina is as dumb as a box of rocks, and I feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for him because he recently stuck his foot in his mouth and obviously isn’t smart enough to publicly extricate his shoe. Instead he blames the local newspaper for misquoting him.What, you may ask, did The “Honorable” Mayor McBride say?
McBride told other council members during an October meeting that he was driving with one of his children in the vehicle during the fall Myrtle Beach rally and his child saw a biker wearing an offensive shirt. He was quoted in the Sun News Times as saying “It was very tempting to kind of nudge the guy on the bike [with my car].”McBride claims he never meant he would nudge the guy with his car, just that he was tempted to “nudge the guy on the bike.” However in a follow-up story in the Sun News, McBride was quoted as saying, “”I thought about bumping the guy, I admit, the thought ran through my mind.”
I guess he meant he thought about bumping him with his over inflated ego?
Maybe that’s what the driver who ran into the rear of Scott Allen Hice’s 1972 Harley-Davidson four days earlier while he was stopped at a stop sign on Hwy 17 By-pass was thinking. Maybe that was just a “nudge.” I dunno Mr. Mayor, maybe you should ask Hice’s family if it’s OK to “nudge” a motorcyclist when you don’t like what his T-shirt says.The worse part is when the proverbial stinky hit the fan, the Mayor didn’t apologize, No….this political brain trust had the audacity to defend his statement in a ABATE candidate forum a couple of days later. He even said he has “the right” to bump someone on a bike if that person wears an obscene t-shirt!

Great Hawaiian Biker Build-Off– On Saturday, 17 December 2005, Pacific Rim Cycle, and The Pasha Group will be host to the 50th State’s largest motorcycle rally to be held at Kapiolani Community College in the heart of Honolulu.
In association with KPOI (“The Big Kahuna”) radio, Hawaii’s premier motorcycle publication (Hawaiian Chopper) will put on “The Great Hawaiian Biker Build-Off”.
Designed as a series of motorcycle related events, which will include a magazine model search, custom motorcycle contest, tattoo contest, biker build-off, and rock concert (act to be named), the event is sure to excite both bikers and the general public alike.
Beginning with a VIP party December 16th (time/place TBD) motorcycle enthusiasts will view the screening of the “Great Hawaiian Biker Build-Off”. This will be the first viewing of the custom bike build-off between local master builder Roger Kuwahara of Kustom Fab, and Shannon Aikau, the chief builder from Counts Kustoms of Las Vegas. We have begun filming the building process of both motorcycle builders, and this event will be the only opportunity for spectators to see the action leading up to the fan judging of the bikes the following day.
On Saturday, 17 December at 10:00am, the gates will open for the “Great Hawaiian Biker Build-Off” Rally. Participants will find plenty of parking at the venue, and will be charged a $20.00 entry fee ($15.00 pre-sale) into the festivities.
A Magazine Model Search will be held featuring some of Hawaii’s most beautiful women, all vying for a chance to become one of Hawaiian Chopper’s cover girls.
A custom bike contest and tattoo contest will be organized allowing riders and custom builders to show their prized two-wheeled rides, and their hot tattoo artwork, all in search of a cool trophy.
A concert featuring one of Hawaii’s top new rock & roll acts. The group Analog will play their hard driving style of rock and will be a great way to cap off the day’s activities.
Oh, and of course, the “Great Hawaiian Biker Build-Off” will give spectators the opportunity to select the winner of the Hawaii’s first Biker Build-Off by casting their vote for their favorite chopper.
In addition to all the festivities planned for the December event, joining us will be celebrated motorcycle builders, Danny “The Count” Koker of Counts Kustoms and Jose De Miguel of Caribbean Custom Cycles. These custom builders received international notoriety on Discovery Channel’s “Great Biker Build-Off”, the Speed Channel, and magazines such as, Barnett’s Motorcycle Showcase, The Horse, Street Chopper, Hawaiian Chopper and others. Both of these men are wildly popular characters of the motorcycle genre.
Along with some of the World’s top celebrity builders, visitors to this year’s event will be actively engaged in the festivities, making this the biker event of the year.
Finally, I am also proud to announce the display appearance of heavy metal rock group Motley Crue’s specially built choppers. These are the actual bikes that Motley Crue takes on tour with them. When the band appears onstage at the Blaisdell Arena December 14th, these bikes will not be part of the show, in fact, to see these bikes, you will have to attend “The Great Hawaiian Biker Build-Off”!
If that isn’t enough, Counts Kustoms will be displaying the “Ozzy” bike built for Rocker Ozzy Osbourn, and their radical custom choppers.
Of course, no event would be complete without great food, drinks, and giveaways, so we will feature the cooking some of Hawaii’s best restaurants. Add to that drink specials courtesy of Rosa’s Ice Tee, and numerous prizes to be given away randomly, and we have a world-class motorcycle rally.
It is my pleasure to invite you to sponsor this marquee motorcycle event along with such companies as Pacific Rim Cycle, Pasha Shipping, South Seas Harley-Davidson, Rosa’s Ice-Tee, Island Tattoo, Carr’s Insurance, Avon Tires, and a host of others great sponsors to be identified later.
On behalf of Ten Toes Enterprises and Hawaiian Chopper magazine, allow me to thank you for your consideration regarding the “Great Hawaiian Biker Build-Off”.
Please join me in this year’s premier motorcycle event. It is sure to be the highlight of 2005!
Mahalo and Aloha,
Steven Kalnasy

THE LOVE IS HERE–It’s that time of the year for the largest charity fund raising event of the year at Glendale H-D and Lake Castaic. It’s the only Los Angeles based event aside from the LA Calendar event in the summer.
It’s our opportunity to hang out with pals from all over the country. May everyone stay safe, out of traffic and keep your bikes locked up tight.
It’s odd, but this is the beginning of the rainy season for this region. Keep in mind that LA is actually a desert. Most years we receive less than 10 inches of rain. No matter what’s happening it always clears up for the Love Ride.
I’ll try like hell to get caught up next week.
Have a helluva weekend,
Ride Forever,
–Bandit
