THE STEALTH REPORT–This is the last time I will do the “STEALTH” report as a bachelor! As of Sunday (6-27-04) I will be a married man, again! They say the third time is the charm and I really feel this is finally the right time. I always wondered when people say “that is what THEY say” who in the hell are THEY? Anyway, I have a lot going on right now, so let’s get to it!
Bandit has spoken of the woes of moving in the not so distant past. “THE MEANEST” and I are dealing with the moving woes right now. We are selling two houses and buying one, we are combining two homes into one. It is an adventure. As of now we don’t know where “STEALTH” headquarters will be but we have a few ideas . I keep looking for a house with an indoor wash bay for our bikes and all “THE MEANEST” does is give me a funny look! I have the garage pictured in my mind, the walls should resemble a fine motorcycle museum, with my Dave Mann collection displayed flawlessly along with a number of Easyrider posters. Hopefully the garage will sport a new bike lift also, I am getting to the age where crawling around on the garage floor isn’t as appealing as it once was. I am thinking of a new Craftsman toolbox also since mine has seen better days!
The colors of the garage may be done in the BIKERNET logo colors red, orange, yellow and of course with flames on the walls because as “THE MEANEST” and I always say “Flames never go out of style!” The new digs will also feature an all biker room. I almost said all Harley room, I think “all biker” room fits a lot better. In this room there will be an entertainment center that revolves around biker movies, biker music and anything that is biker. This is where some of my “most prized possessions” will reside such as my autographed poster of “Outlaw Justice,” yeah that is right signed by the BIG guy himself, Mr. Bandit along with all of his books he has signed, Prize Possession, Outlaw Justice and Orwell. It will also display Run For Breath memorabilia. Just a quick reminder, the 6th Annual Run For Breath “In Memory of Justin Pullin” will be held here in Charlotte July 25th. The room should be a great room!
The “MEANEST”and I are not going on a honeymoon right away, sometime in September we are planning on an escape from work. The Caribbean keeps coming up, are you listening Jose? Oh by the way the wedding is the day after the Smoke-Out at Lowe’s Motor Speedway Pavilion, next to Tom Johnson Camping Center on Speedway Boulevard in Concord, just 20 minutes away from the site of the Smoke-Out, so if you are hanging around Sunday, ALL of you are invited to the “BIKER WEDDING OF THE CENTURY!” We would be honored to have you as our guest.
I gotta run to handle some last minute things before Sunday!
Until next week, stay cool and RIDE!

JOSE GETS ATTACKED– Bandit, I enjoy reading your articles about your trips to rallies and events. I had to write after reading this article from Jose.
He spends a good part of the article bitching about the riders in Daytona that spend the money that makes the event possible. He complains about ?throttle twisters?, but then talks about how Bling Bling broke his bike from doing burnouts and wheelies and how bros helped to fix it. Is this fucking guy a hypocrite or what? He bitches about ?newbies? ruining it for everyone, but when it?s his buddy doing it it?s fucking okay.
Then he talks about how the ?industry? guys have no time to themselves? this fucking event isn?t for them to take a vacation. It?s for the fans to spend their money on their products and merchandise. I?m sure he wasn?t bitching when he was selling crap to the crowds.
I fucking hate hypocrites almost as much as I hate cry baby bitches like Jose. Stop your fucking crying Jose. If you don?t like the crowds at Daytona stop fucking going? I know they won?t miss you there.
I don?t even want to get into his ?cool? ?Not cool? list except to mention his ?Cool: Seeing a cop giving souvenir tickets?? real fucking nice asshole! I hope you and your burnout buddies get a fucking ticket next year.
Keep up the good work Bandit
