MotorCops: Wheels Through Time Transportation Museum to Open Exhibit on the History of Motorcycle Police– MAGGIE VALLEY, NC ? The Wheels Through Time American Transportation Museum in Maggie Valley, North Carolina has announced plans to open its final exhibit at its Smoky Mountain location highlighting the history of motorcycle police in America. The museum, which houses the world?s premier collection of rare and historic American motorcycles and unique automobiles, will open the 60-day exhibit, Motorcops: A 100 Year Love Affair Between Police and the Motorcycle, on September 26, 2008, just two-months before it closes its doors in North Carolina.
Featured in the main gallery of the museum?s 38,000 square foot facility, Motorcops will tell the story of the long-lasting relationship between law enforcement and the motorcycle. Dating back one-hundred years to 1908, police forces across the country began using motorcycles to protect and serve. From the rutted, dirt roads of rural America to heavily populated urban cities and towns, the motorcycle became the motorized vehicle of choice, offering greater maneuverability and a reputation for reliability unparalleled by auto manufacturers of the day. From the first official police motorcycle patrol in 1911 to the operation of over 3400 motorcycle law enforcement units today, the rich and colorful history of police and motorcycles remains as strong as ever.
?Through this historically significant exhibit, the Wheels Through Time Museum will pay tribute to the men, women, and machines who have patrolled the American cities, towns, highways, and byways over the past 100 years,? says museum curator and founder, Dale Walksler. ?We are eager to share, from past to present, the fascinating history of these two- and three-wheeled uniformed patrol officers, and look forward to telling the story of the relationship that has evolved into what it is today.?
Motorcops will feature the sites, sounds, and stories of that hundred year love affair, presenting countless machines, memorabilia, artwork, and stories from the past century. Several rare machines from the early- to mid-1900s will be displayed, including a 1937 Harley-Davidson California Highway Patrol motorcycle, a 1942 Harley-Davidson Civil Patrol EL Knucklehead , and a perfectly restored 1954 50th Anniversary Harley-Davidson Police Servicar, to name a few.
The exhibit will also feature hundreds of photographs, memorabilia, and works of art dating back to the earliest days of motorcycle patrol. Works by renowned Harley-Davidson licensed artist, David Uhl, will be on display, as well as priceless original works such as ?Scattergood Sets A Speed Trap?, which was featured as the cover art on the 1924 April issue of American Magazine. Original uniforms, a collection of patches from forces across the country, and countless stories from the men and women who patrolled the streets on two wheels will also grace the exhibit.
The creation, opening, and interpretation of the exhibit will be documented in the museum?s Time Machine video archives, featured on the museum website, located at www.WheelsThroughTime.com. The Time Machine will feature several videos on the exhibit, ranging from shows on motorcycle police history to features on the many machines housed within the exhibit.
The new exhibit will open on September 26, 2008 and will run for the final sixty days of the museum?s operations in North Carolina. Law Enforcement agencies, individuals, and groups from across the country will gather at the museum for the exhibit grand opening. All law enforcement officials will receive complimentary admission to the museum during the run of the exhibit and family members will be admitted at half-price.
Located at 62 Vintage Lane in Maggie Valley, the museum will be open at its current location through November 30, 2008. Hours of operation are 9a.m.-5p.m., seven days a week. For more information, visit the museum?s website, located at www.WheelsThroughTime.com or call the museum at (828) 926-6266.

BIKERNET INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS DEPARTMENT– Two English businessmen in London were sitting down for a break in their soon-to-be new store. As yet, the store wasn’t ready, with only a few shelves set up. One said to the other, ‘I bet any minute now some idiot tourist is going to walk by, put his face to the window, and ask what we’re selling.’
No sooner were the words out of his mouth when, sure enough, a curious Irishman walked to the window, had a peek, and in a thick Irish accent asked, ‘What might ye be sell in’ here?’
One of the men replied sarcastically, ‘We’re selling assholes’
Without skipping a beat, the Irishman said, ‘You’re doin’ well then… only two left!’
Englishmen, God bless them, should not mess with the Irish.

BIKERNET HOUSE MOUSE GETS HER FIRST JOB– Here’s a truly heartwarming story about the bond Formed between a little 5-year-old girl and some Construction workers that will make you believe That we all can make a difference when we give a child the gift of our time.
A young family moved into a house, next to a Vacant lot. One day, a construction crew began To build a house on the empty lot. The young family’s 5-year-old daughter naturally took an Interest in the goings-on and spent much of Each day observing the workers.
Eventually the construction crew, all of them ‘gems-in-the-rough,’ more or less, adopted her As a kind of project mascot. They chatted with Her during coffee and lunch breaks and gave her Little jobs to do here and there to make her feel Important.
At the end of the first week, they even Presented her with a pay envelope containing ten Dollars. The little girl took this home to her Mother who suggested that she take her ten Dollars ‘pay’ she’d received to the bank the next Day to start a savings account.
When the girl and her mom got to the bank, the Teller was equally impressed and asked the little girl How she had come by her very own pay check at Such a young age.
The little girl proudly replied, ‘I worked last week with a real construction crew Building the new house next door to us.’
‘Oh my goodness gracious,’ said the teller, ‘and will You be working on the house again this week, too?’
The little girl replied, ‘I will, if those assholes at Home Depot ever deliver the f _ ckin’ sheet rock.’
Kind of brings a tear to the eye – doesn’t it?
–from Ted T.
AND WITH THAT I’M OUTTA HERE–Fortunately Sin Wu will feed the dogs. If Coral isn’t chasing women all week, she’ll handle the cats. Gary the Dock Cop will handle Bikernet Security and Johnny Humble from Texas will launch additional content, if he doesn’t show up in the Badlands.
