Taliban joke

COWBOY REPORT– One day a young cowboy and cowgirl decided to get married. He was a man of the world. She was an innocent bride with no experience. After the wedding they left for their honeymoon. While driving down the road, the new bride sees two cows having sex.

The new bride asks, “What are them cows up to honey?”

The husband, a bit flustered, answers, “Why can’t you see? Them cows, they’re roping!”

She replies, “Oh, I see!” After a few more hours of driving they pass two horses having sex.Again the bride asks, “What are them horses doing honey?”

The husband answers again, “Them horses, they’re roping!”

She replies, “Oh, I see!” Finally they arrive at their hotel. The couple washed up and started to get ready for bed. When they got in the bed, they start to explore each other’s bodies.

Things are going along fine until the bride discovers her husband’s penis. “Oh my!” she cries: “What is that?”

Well, darlin’,” he says, “That’s ma’rope!”

She slides her hands down further and gasps, “Oh my goodness! What are those?” she asks.

“Honey, those’re my knots!” he answers.

Finally the couple begins to make love. After several minutes the bride says, “Stop honey, wait a minute!”

Her husband, panting a little, asks: “What’s the matter honey, am I hurting you?”

“No,” the bride replies, “undo them damn knots, I need more rope!”

OPEN LETTER FROM CRASH VICTIM–Emma Lujan who was once the part owner of Auburn Harley-Davidson. She was in a serious bike accident recently and wrote the follow to all those who thought of her during her crisis:

This made me think of how LUCKY I have been in my life. I wanted topass this on. In my recent little BUMP in the road, I was moved to tearsoften by the calls, cards and the beautiful flowers & plants sent byeveryone, each day (several times) my sprits were lifted with yourthoughtfulness. I hope I am good to you as you have been to me. I amdoing better each day.

Today I go to the DDS to start the process. Iwill again able to smile without laughing at myself. Funny how theGreat Sprit in the sky humbles us. I am so very grateful for how thingsturned out…

Today give someone you care about a call, a hug or just asmile. Let them know how much they have meant in your life. Again THANKYOU for all you all did for me.

–Sincerely, Love Emma

BIKERNET FUTURE TECHS– I am going to keep a pic. record of the new “Flow Bench” construction. It is fairly involved. I will?keep a journal of some sort also.?There?will be some parts that will be custom made. They are the heart of this project. These will be available to a person who wants to build a “Suck/Blow” machine and who for what ever reason wants to get into this “Black Art”.

Tit shot

We don’t generally show nudity on Bikernet, but this shot was taken at a World Series game and we couldn’t resist.

SHE CAN’T WIN–A woman was shaking out a rug on the balcony of her 17th floor condominium when a sudden gust of wind blew her over the railing.

“Damn, that was stupid,” she thought as she fell. “What a way to die.”As she passed the 14th floor, a man standing at his railing caught her in his arms.

While she looked at him in disbelieving gratitude, he asked, “Do you suck?”

“No!” she shrieked, aghast.

So, he dropped her.As she passed the 12th floor, another man reached out and caught her.

“Do you screw?” he asked.

“Of course not!” she exclaimed before she could stop herself.

He dropped her, too.

The poor woman prayed to God for one more chance. As luck would have it, she was caught a third time, by a man on the eighth floor. “I suck! I screw!” she screamed in panic.

“Slut!” he said, and dropped her. ??

Drag bike

STAN SHEPPARD RUMOR–The tea leaves have it that master drag racing champion and recent recipient of a sponsorship from Bud Lite, Stan Sheppard will soon contribute articles to Bikernet. He’s going to build a new racer for the next season and we will show you the bike coming together on Bikernet. That is, if the rumor is true?

OKAY, THAT’S IT–We’re having a Pre-Love Ride party tomorrow night to welcome some of the guys from Compu-Fire, the journalistic crew from Japan and Harold Ponteralli from H-D Performance into town for the Love Ride. Then we’ll slip out of town for Long Beach and the Blue Cafe for a night with the Night Hawk’s Blues band and full sized pool tables upstairs. More parties are scheduled for Friday. There’s rides scheduled for Saturday, parties Saturday night and the Love Ride Fills Sunday.

Sure, I’m going to disappear from site around here, but I’ll finish the first Chance Hogan novel and try to write another based on the creaking ship cruise. I’ll still be handling the majority of the news except when the women take over.

From Eqypt we’ll duck Pakistan, hit India then Thailand for some sticks, breeze through Vietnam which should be an experience, then Hong Kong for the girls and opium dens. Unfortunately we’ll be pulling into Korea. I wasn’t pleased with Pusan during the Vietnam era, but we’ll check it out for positive changes, then slip into Japan for sushi, and to Taiwan for stereo equipment and the wonderful chow. Finally we’ll be docking in Manila in the Philippines, if they’re still speaking to us, before cruising to Singapore, then Jakarta and back to Hawaii. Then it’s a quick stop in Mexico before hitting the Panama Canal for Houston.I’ll be reporting every goddamn thing that happens from the cold Atlantic to hurricane season outside the port of Hong Kong. The lovely Cindy from Century Motors, San Pedro’s antique bike shop is trying to convince me to load Red Ball, my touring chopper into a container for the cuise. Have a beer and head out to the garage.–Bandit
