HARLEY-DAVIDSON.COM REDESIGNS WEB SITE AND OFFERS FREE GIFT–MILWAUKEE, WI (Oct. 2, 2002) – With the holiday season just around the corner, Harley-Davidson is celebrating the relaunch of the MotorClothes Merchandise and Genuine Motor Accessories sections of the Harley-Davidson.com Web site. The online catalogs were redesigned to include new navigation features, an enhanced search function and loads of great new accessories and apparel.
New navigation in the online Genuine Motor Accessories catalog makes it easy for customers to find specific products for their Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The new design enables customers to search by year and model and create a catalog of accessories just for their motorcycle model. Customers can also search among more than 4,500 Genuine Motor Accessories by model family or enter a specific part number or product name. The MotorClothes Merchandise online catalog was also redesigned to help customers quickly navigate the selection of riding apparel, accessories and gifts.
?Customers can view a complete selection online, from year-round riding gear and accessories to limited-edition 100th Anniversary merchandise,?said Jeanne Winiarski, E-Commerce Operations Manager for Harley-Davidson Motor Company. ?Customers have two ways to shop. They can browse the limited edition items and create a wish list to take to their local dealer and they can purchase a selection of riding gear, accessories and collectibles on line from the convenience of their home or office.?
To celebrate the catalog redesign, customers can receive a Harley-Davidson Clean & Shine Travel Kit with any online purchase of $75 or more from participating E-Commerce Dealers while supplies last. The kit includes Harley Gloss Quick Detailer, Sunwash, Wheel & Tire Cleaner and a full-size Soft Drying Towel. The Clean & Shine Travel Kit makes a great gift and easily fits into your saddlebag for a quick touch up after a long day on the road.

OZARK ED ON CARS AND UGLY BIKES–I can’t believe it, but the deal is done. I went to the GM dealer yesterday afternoon and gave them my piece of shit Monte Carlo and they gave me a check. I took the check and got my girls new car, paid cash for it, and took home almost 800 bucks. Dammit.
Anyway, my oldest daughter’s husband bought him an old Goldwing for $400. He’s 19 and doesn’t have a pot to piss in, but they are having a good time. He brought it over to my house and asked me what I thought. I told him it was the ugliest bike I had ever seen. We spent all night chopping ugly plastic shit off of it. We have it down to something that I wouldn’t be ashamed of if I was as broke as him. It reminds me of what I used to do when I was a teenager. I had some ugly ass bikes, too. iItold him to just strip it down to something that looks like it isn’t safe to ride, and keep up.
He’ll take a lot of shit over this thing with my buddies, but he’ll appreciate it when he gets a nicer bike later in life. The weather is so nice right now, riding is heaven.

THE KING REPORT–Next week we will post the first of a series of techs on a 2003 Road King Classic that is being modified predominately with Harley-Davidson parts in the Bikernet Garage. The only part we needed that wasn’t an H-D or Screamin’ Eagle component was high-enough Ape Hangers. That aside, all the parts will come from the factory and be installed by the Bikernet Staff or a dealer crew who can do a better job.
Features will also be published in American Rider. In fact the first feature on knowing a Road King should be on the streets soon. The American Rider articles are destined for new riders seeking knowledge and ability with their Kings.
THREE WISHES–There’s this Arab walking through the desert,his camel dies and he’s thirsty. All at once, he comesacross an old lamp, gives it a rub and out pops a genie.
“You know the score, three wishes.” says the genie
“I want to be in a lush oasis with a cool pint of lager”
POOF! – lo and behold, he’s in an oasis.
“Secondly, I want to be so rich it’s rude.”
POOF! – lo and behold, he’s surrounded by money and treasurechests full of jewelery and rare coins.
“Thirdly, I wish I was white and surrounded by beautiful women.”
POOF! – he’s turned into a tampon!
Moral of the Story: Be careful what you wish for,there may be a string attached.

THE CANTINA REPORT–One of the bonuses of being a member of Bandit’s Cantina is the Digital Discovery area. We post material in that slot that few people have seen, or techs unheard of by the common man. Most recently, through the efforts of a well respected, old school Bikernet contributor, Bob T., we have dug up a complete selection of old Biker Movie Posters. Here’s just one example.
Rumor had it that Bob, who rode with Bandit in the early ’70s, and now lives in the California desert, discovered this collection under the fin of a buried ’59 Cadillac in hot sand.
Next, may be the first of Bikernet’s own movie posters for Bandit’s Asphalt Cowboy. Watch for it. Join the Cantina and support all of Bikernet.
