THIS SEPARATES THE MEN FROM THE WOMEN
A little test to sort the men from the women.
Every day, millions of images go to your brain, but you know, only some of these are focused. To prove it, take this test: Stare at the picture and see how fast you can find the car.
time for the man: 12.46 minutes
time for the woman: 1.23 seconds
Historic Moment
At 8:02 p.m. on Feb. 20 this year, it will be an historic moment in time.
It will not be marked by the chiming of any clocks or the ringing of bells, but at that precise time, on that specific date, something will happen which has not occurred for 1,001 years and will never happen again.
As the clock ticks over from 8:01 p.m. on Feb. 20, time will, for 60 seconds only, read in perfect symmetry 2002, 2002, 2002, or to be more precise – 20:02, 20/02, 2002.
This historic event will never have the same poignancy as the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month which marks Armistice Day, but it is an event that has only ever happened once before, and is something that will never be repeated.
The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was long before the days of the digital watch and the 24-hour clock at 10:01 a.m. on Jan. 10, 1001.
And because the clock only goes up to 23:59, it is something that will never happen again.
Do We Really Need More Security?
Almost 150 years ago, President Lincoln found it necessary to hire a privateinvestigator, Mr. Alan Pinkerton. He was actually the beginning of theSecret Service. Since that time, federal police authority has grown to alarge number of agencies – FBI, CIA, INS, IRS, DEA, BATF, SS, ATF, etc. NowCongress is considering a proposal for another agency: the “Federal AirTransportation Airport Security Service.” Now you tell me, does the image ofa security officer at an airport eating a donut, wearing a jacket that says
F.A.T.A.S.S amuse you as well?
Rogue
Digital Fuel Optimizer For Electronic Fuel Injection Systems
?Stand alone? technology (no factory ?re-maps? or Website-downloads required.)
Increased Horsepower everywhere!
Crisper Throttle Response
Full 3-range Adjustable Fuel Delivery Curve
Easy installation and Set Up
Simple Screwdriver ?Dial-in?
DFO- all you need to know, for maximum GO!
Our testing has found that the Screamin’ Eagle upgrade ?Module? is a download of optional EFI ?maps? through their diagnostic tool into the OEM black box. Both of these maps are still emission based and therefore are very limited in their function and cannot address the huge possible number of combinations that consumers are going to produce.The Dynojet product although adjustable to each bike, it requires a laptop computer or internet downloads to effect changes to each bike.
DFO is much broader in its range of adjustment(equally effective on stock bikes, all the way up to 100hp-plus, big displacement motors) and that adjustment is very easy to achieve by the end user. Peak horsepower is only one issue that needs to be addressed; the true beauty of our product is the improve- ment in roll-on and throttle response that creates a seat-of -the-pants improvement that will truly impress anyone whotries it!
This one product will address all issues of fuel injection with equal and effective ease and at a price consumers have come to expect… in other words comparable to jetkits.
Bikernet Caribbean Report
Just got back from Indy, and I have a bunch of news. We got the new AmericanIron Magazine (April issue) with my girlfriend’s bike featured, cool. Forthose of you who don’t know about the Indy dealer show, it’s a showcase ofeverything that has to do with motorcycles. Thousands of exhibitors bringtheir stuff and show what’s new for 2002. Of course, what interests us isthe American Big Twin market, so that’s where we spent most of the time.This year a new all-ABT section was added so we did not have to walkmiles and miles of static-charged carpets to find the good stuff. Also, wenoticed the effects of the sucky economy.
Several companies were no shows, and this usually means there’s financialproblems. Others attended the new Cinci show and skipped this one.There wasn’t as much new stuff as past years, but we managed to capturesome photos of the new products like the S&S 124 cubic inch motor.
Most of the “famous” bike builders were present, although Jesse James was ano show. A bunch of new bike companies were showing their motorcycles. Sadly, most of these won’t last through the year. American Iron Horseunveiled its new chopper. It’s pretty cool and at a good price — about $26,000. Orange County Choppers was there with a bunch of bikes, as wellas Bourget’s and its new models. By the way, it was pretty cool to berecognized as the guy that does the Caribbean Report in Bikernet, so Iguess we are doing something right.
After seeing many, and I mean many, bikes, we liked these two the most. Oneof them is a Jap chopper from Cobra with a Honda engine and a cool orangepaint job, but the other was a super slick old school bobber that CustomChrome had at their booth. This blue bike was only 350 pounds and mostlyhandmade. It was so clean!
We managed to attend some of the parties, but missed others. It’s not easyto walk the show all day and then party all night. I guess I might begetting old, or maybe just need a vacation to charge the batteries….whoknows…
All in all, it’s cool to see old friends and be able to talk to them withoutbeing crowded. It’s also good to be able to see the new parts and bikes before theyare showcased in Daytona.We hope that next year the show will be better and with lots of new stuffand companies, once this fucked up economy gets sorted out.
Well, we are waiting for the Trivia answers, and we will only wait for thisweek. If not, the shirt is going out.We have to get ready for Bike Week and it’s insanity. But that’s a storyfor next week.
See ya guys later
