BIKERNET SURVEY–“In a survey, 80 percent of women thought their ass was too fat, 15 percentsaid their ass was too thin and the other 5 percent said they didn’tcare – they would have married him anyway!”

ONGOING DISCUSSION BOARD DISCUSSION–Discussion boards are cool daddy-o.Got a leg up on you bro, being as this one here is free. Keep that in mind.I made note of the credit card deal in order to enter the “Cantina.”

Perhaps you’ll get the action you need. I’m a poor broke sunufabitch thatdoesn’t have time for the fucking yuppies. I don’t even wear store boughtleathers…

Yeah…

Remember the old school? You still have your roots and respects in it. Thereare poor boys still making all their shit from scratch. Keep the faith.

Anyway…
My point? You don’t need no stinking discussion board when www.allhd.com/bbkicks the shit out of the other boards. We win hands down over the censored,well-governed ones. You’d do well just to endorse the REAL biker board thatalready exists and stick a link up to it in a prominant location. In turn,as the administrator of www.allhd.com/bb, I can promote www.bikernet.com.

After all…
Without that “rake and trail” geometry spec’d out there at your place, mychopper would be so fucking well balanced and handle like a dream come true!

–Sincerely,
Dave/Shovel/Max

FRISCO BENEFIT–Bikers are known to be the best at rallying around their fallen, injured and hurting brothers and sisters. This is to inform you about a benefit on April 14, at the Pound in San Francisco. The details will be very basic here as we were just informed about this yesterday evening.

Tony, our awesome pal from the Frisco HAMC, called me yesterday telling me of an impromptu but already impressively large (we have amazing hearts, don’t we?) gathering he has organized to be held at the Pound this very Sunday from 1 p.m. – 6 p.m.

The son of a very good friend of his was just in a horrific car accident where his vehicle struck a deer and rolled, resulting in a broken neck and severed spine. Now he will be paralyzed. This benefit is to help with his medical expenses and to show what we are made of. This is very short notice.

Do what you can. Count on seeing some dolls there. Restaurants in the area have generously donated food and there will be a kick-ass live band. $20 a head gets you all the food you want, rockin’ music, a killer raffle, and a great party even though it will be under these sad circumstances. You can call the POUND at (415)826-9202 at Pier 96 to get more info or directions. Thank you.the DEVIL DOLLS MOTORCYCLE CLUB

A DOWNED DOLL–“Hoops” rides motorcycles. She just WENT DOWN and has returned home from the emergency room with stitches and sores.

Please wish her well, in the “General” section, of www.allhd.com/bb

–Thank you.

Just a last minute note….the FestHalle (where we’ll have the party Friday and Saturday night, only holds about 1,500 people….so if we pre-register 1,500 people we won’t sell any tickets at the door! That means you might miss out on what will probably be the party of the year, (at least as far as I’m concerned!) So do yourself a favor, sign up today.

A young graduate gets a job with the Taxation Office. His firstassignment is to audit a Rabbi . He thinks he’ll have a little fun, so hesays “Rabbi, what do you do with the drippings from the candles?”The Rabbi says “We send them to the candle factory and once in a while theysend us a free candle” .The graduate says “What do you do with the crumbs from your table?”The Rabbi says “We send them to a matzo ball factory and once in a whilethey send us a free box of matzo balls”The graduate asks “What do you do with the foreskins from circumcisions?”The Rabbi replies “We send them to the Tax Office, and once in a while theysend us a little prick like you”

This is the tranny that will be used in Nuttboys build.

WHAT’S A POOR BOY TO DO–but to hunker down, deal with the shit, celebrate the good news and terrific, eye-watering romance, and start to build a new bike for the summer. Tomorrow Nuttboy and I will roll over to Dr. John the frame specialist in Anaheim to discuss modifications to his Pro Street chassis.

Garry Stuart stopped by the office to discuss a couple of his book projects and may be able to assist with some of our own. We will be working with him and his Web site, HarleyPics.com. His site promotes his photographic business of shooting custom bikes all over the world.

So, I’m back and glad to be here. Believe me, I can have more lurid adventures in a day in the headquarters than I can have in a month of bobbing around on the Pacific. Ride Forever, Bandit.–
