CRAZYHORSE RETURN FROM THE BADLANDS–The most evil home built hardtails are right here on Bikernet. Check out this month’s Readers’ Showcase. Arik Adam’s sweet coil cover is just a peek at the pure talent lurking out here that has decided to share the vision with us. As many folks are getting ready for their winter projects, we have a bit of inspriration for all of them. Between cleaning the ranch and cooking for company that seems to be arriving regularly every weekend, my niece’s soccer games ( her team is winning), getting this place ready for winter by patching the roof and slapping paint on the rotting wood, it seems odd that I should be doing some of the best artwork I have ever done. Maybe I’m getting good at this.

CH - rear fender

CH - tank

The flame paint belongs to EdSherrer up in Virginia. The parts belong to an evil hardtail he’s building. I had an odd request on this bike. He wanted a pile of turds with a Number 2 on the rear fender. My paint guys asked him why. He says “….cos it’s Pile of Shit #2.” I should be getting the parts for Pile of Shit #3 for painting next spring.

CH vrod cover

The VRod cover belongs to Jerry Wolfe of Texas. It’s dull cos there was no clearcoat on when I took this picture. Jerry shipped the entire bike to my husband Jim Bortles. He wanted Jim’s special brand of fab work done to it. The bike is complete now, but I haven’t gotten up to the shop to take pictures yet.I talked to Goth Girl a few weeks ago. She’s playing keyboard at Mike Corbin’s Biketobefest party. That’s reason enough to attend. Maybe she’ll stop by The Horse’s Saturday Bike Show at The Last Resort. Billy Lane is judging bikes. Last year’s winner was Hank Young’s Flying Pan. So if you’re thinking there’s no bikes worth making the journey to Fla to see, think again.

Good food, good times, no attitudes, and brutal choppers duking it out, Last Resort, Rt 1, Oct 18th, be there or be square.

AH, BLONDE JOKES–There are three blondes washed up on an island. Suddenly a fairy appears and offers to grant each one of them one wish.

The first blonde asks to be intelligent. Instantly, she is turned into a brown haired woman and she swims off the island.

The next one asks to be even more intelligent than the previous one, so instantly she is turned into a ravishing redhead. The redhead builds a boat and sails off the island.

The third blonde asks to become even more intelligent than the previous two. The fairy turns her into a man, and he walks across the bridge.

BLONDE JOKES FOREVER–The blondes at the university led by Suzy , were tired of not fitting in. They were tired of other students assuming they were just stupid bimbos. They wanted somewhere where they felt they belonged.

So Suzy pressured the administration to set up a new Department especially for them. The university agreed and set up the Blonde Education Department.

Suzy and the blondes were ecstatic to have a department of their own where they could gather without being ridiculed. They felt they really belonged now. They wanted other students to see that they weren’t just stupid bimbos — after all, they now had their own department at the university.

So they now all proudly wear the official sweatshirt of the Blonde Education Department designed by Suzy which sports the saying: “I Belong in B.E.D.”
