Whisked away on a private assignment, I was out of touch for a couple of days. One of those nights kicked my ass, so I feel as though a week slipped through my fingertips. I’ll attempt to sort through the cob webs tomorrow.
The damn holidays are approaching and I dread them, but I figured out what to give the headquarters cook. A handmade pot and pan holder for above the stove. She needs to have her tools handy, so what could be a better than a classic 21-inch spooled-hub wheel. Watch as we make it happen.
Next, we may be tearing the garage down and enlarging it. I’ll report on the effort next week. Let’s hit the news:
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT–SIX BROTHERS DOWN–Live report from Rigid Frame Richard.
BIKERNET COWBOY–A Cowboy and his wife had just been married and went to a hotel for their honeymoon. The man went to the front desk and asked for a room.
He said “this here is a very special ‘casion — our wedding night — and we need a good room with a strong bed.”
The clerk winked and asked “Do you want the Bridal?”
The Redneck fellow thought about it a while and then replied, “No, I guess not, I’ll just hold onto her ears until she gets used to it!”

HENRY’S BIKE–here’s are a couple more pics of Henry’s bike not on the trailer. He just completed putting one of the 100″ Evo/Twin Cam motor in it.

POLARIS AND MINNESOTA WILD ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP TO BENEFIT 10,000 RINKS FOUNDATION– Custom Victory Motorcycle and Polaris snowmobile take center stage in online auction to raise funds and awareness.
Polaris Industries and the National Hockey League?s (NHL) Minnesota Wild launched their latest partnership initiative today with the unveiling of a custom painted, Wild themed Victory Vegas motorcycle and Polaris snowmobile. The Victory motorcycle along with a Polaris snowmobile will be the star attractions of an online auction taking place from November 10 through December 18 for the motorcycle and February 2 through March 17 for the snowmobile with proceeds to benefit the 10,000 Rinks Foundation.
Fans will be able access the 2003 Victory Vegas Motorcycle auction online via the Internet at http://www.wild.com.
On-hand for the unveiling, which took place at the Polaris corporate headquarters in Medina, Minnesota, was Minnesota Wild General Manager Doug Risebrough, Wild center Marc Chouinard and Polaris CEO Tom Tiller. Joining them was over 300 Polaris employees and local media as Risebrough presented Tom Tiller with the new Wild throw-back jersey as a thank you for the ongoing support Polaris has provided.
The 10,000 Rinks Foundation announcements and unveiling coincided with a Polaris campaign for the United Way. The event capped off several weeks of fund raising by Polaris employees for the United Way organization. Still the star of the day was Wild player Pierre-Marc Bouchard who signed hundreds of autographs, answered questions and posed for photos with Polaris employees.
The custom Victory Vegas and/or Polaris XC 600 snowmobile will be on display at Wild home games; at the Hockey Lodge located in the Mall of America during the weekend of December 5-7; and on non-game days it will be displayed in the Hockey Lodge at Xcel Energy Center.
The 10,000 Rinks Foundation is a non-profit organization that raises money for youth hockey and other community groups. The 10,000 Rinks Foundation primarily focuses its efforts on partnering with key amateur hockey organizations and supporting numerous youth oriented groups throughout Minnesota and the upper Midwest.
