Below is a letter from one of the Chopper team, John Reed, a life-long product designer for Custom Chrome Inc.:
I just want to tell you guys that it was an honor working with you atMonster Garage, I wish they could have brought us there a month or sobefore, so we could get some tools jigs etc and organize it so we couldmake things closer than we do at home.
I was a lot more nervous than yourealized at the start, because I don’t like working with people becauseof all the egos and B/S, so for me it was a unique situation, and I can’tbelieve how comfortable I felt with you all the last half of theweek, especially when Carls two boys came visiting while we weresitting outside our rooms in the evenings solving all the world’sproblems and they realized that I wasn’t as bad as they thought and Don (Hotop)and Mark (Rowe) were really the ones who got me in trouble by winding me up.
I don’t think the situation will arise to allow it to happenagain, but if it does, I would jump at it, and if any of you guys wantanything from me just ask. I enjoyed the hell out of it. I know thatyou were all at the top of the game, and I was just the grindingbitch, but it as cool. Don’t tell anyone I said this, but for some reason I almostfeel like I miss you all.
It will stay in my minds all my life,
Thanks,
John Reed..

4TH OF JULY ROADBLOCK IN HOUSTON– There was a road block on the southbound I-45 @ Rayford Rd on the 3rd of July from 11:00 PM thru 1:00 AM on the 4th. It was supposedly a ” zero tolerance” stop by Harris County and HPD to check for drunks. However, EVERY motorcycle was pulled over, but not one car. Some 49 bikes were stopped from what I understand, and none were even ticketed? What the Hell?
If anyone out there did get a ticket or get hauled off, let me know. Oh, and 49 bikes with no drunks? My congratulations.

CALIFORNIA SUPERBIKE SCHOOL INSTRUCTORMISTI HURST GRABS INTERNATIONAL RACINGSPONSORSHIP FROM HONDA ITALY–At 24 she bought her first motorcycle. At 26 she was taking checkeredflags and thrilling crowds with her stunt riding at racetracks throughoutWestern Canada. Today, at a seasoned 28, California Superbike School instructor Misti Hurst is about to embark on the ride of her life — in Septembershe’ll crank the throttle of a new Honda CBR600RR and go head-to-headwith some of Europe’s best in the Italian CBR Cup Series, thanks to arecently signed sponsorship deal with Honda Italy.
“Riding for the Honda team is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity – oneI’m training hard for,” said Hurst, whose instructional duties with KeithCode’s traveling Superbike School will keep her busy until late August,at which time she’ll travel to Italy to get familiar with how the CBRhandles on local tracks.
Hurst, a bona fide “natural born rider”, said her skills on two wheelshave increased markedly due to her involvement with Code’s school… firstas student, then as instructor.
“In November of 2002 I arrived at the school to learn the technical aspectsof riding. Until that point, I had been riding intuitively, but withno real idea of the how’s and why’s of riding, or what to do if I foundmyself in trouble on the road or the track. The instruction was amazingand my confidence, speed, and control of the motorcycle improved tremendously,” said Hurst.
As she neared completion of her training as student, Hurst tried outfor a position as instructor and was accepted. “My continuous training as instructor has been intense but extremelyrewarding. I learn something new every time I’m out on the track,” saidHurst.
“My ultimate goal in life is to make my passion my job. With my roleas instructor at the Superbike School along with the opportunity Hondais giving me, I really feel like I’m living my dream,” said Hurst.
“It’s really great to see our staff doing well in racing, “said SuperbikeSchool founder Code. “It validates our riding technology and keeps thementhusiastic about the whole process of learning the Art of Cornering.”

BIKERNET COMPUTER ADVICE– I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Haroldthe computer guy, to come over. Harold clicked a couple of buttons andsolved the problem. He gave me a bill for a minimum service call.
As he was walking away, I called after him, “So, what waswrong?”
He replied, “It was an ID ten Terror.”
I didn’t want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired,”An, ID ten T error? What’s that. in case I need to fix it again?”
The computer guy grinned…. “Haven’t you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?”
“No,” I replied.
“Write it down,” he said, “and I think you’ll figure itout.”
So I wrote out …….. I D 1 0 T
I used to like Harold…
