Wouldn’t you know that just as the River Run looms in the distance, the Golden State launches another one of its heat waves, so we’ll be sliding out of the coastal Santa Anas for even hotter climes in the desert. That’s one of the reasons for the early departure. The other reason is Sin Wu. Seems the Oriental goddess is developing a jealous streak. Time to leave town. Let’s get to the news, we’re burnin’ daylight:
PROFESSOR NUTTBOY–Has been crying that we have illustrated all the fiction except his. After interrogation and knocking out several of Jon’s teeth, he confessed his jealously for the doctor’s bizarre humor. Afraid that there is someone on the planet with a more demented notion of life than his own, he chose to ignore his etchings. Drugged and handcuffed to his chair, we forced him to draw the above illustration for one of the professor’s fictional ramblings–check it out in the Two-Wheeled Tale Department.
STURGIS CULTURE–Hold on old timers. Remember the days of drunken debauchery and drugs? Now we have a couple Sturgis art exhibits and we’ll be represented in both, hopefully. Here’s a note about one:
The Journey Museum in Rapid City, S.D., will host a photographyexhibition by Michael Lichter titled “Biker Generation.” The images, whichinclude many of Mike’s best-known works from 20 years of photographing thebiker lifestyle, will be on display from Aug. 4 through Sept. 3.

STRANGE CANTINA SHIT–Only the strangest, one-of-a-kind shit will be featured in Bandit’s Cantina. Check it out–we found the only sucker in the world to custom-paint oil filters.
BIG TIME, FIRST TIME, ANNUAL EVENT!–Last year (2000) was the first year for Nebraska’s Burn Camp for young burn victims. St. Elizabeth Hospital in Lincoln, Neb., is our state’s burn center and the direct sponsor for the summer camp. It was held in Burwell, Neb., last August and six children attended. Their ages ranged from 8-15 years.
The WIND& FIRE MOTORCYCLE CLUB (LINOMA) chapter is going to put on a Burn Camp poker run on July 7. Sign-ups are 9 a.m. to noon with escort. We are starting at two locations at the same time — the Lincoln firefighter and the Omaha firefighter halls. The last stop will be at Linoma beach. Cost is $8.50, all you can eat buffet of ribs and chicken. Cash prizes and raffles will be drawn here. All bikes and bikers welcomed.
What is the Wind & Fire MC? My name is MC Flott and I am with the Omaha Fire Department and a Local 385 member. We are firefighters who own and ride Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Anyone who owns a Harley and is a firefighter may join.
The W&F MC Burn Camp Poker Run has been approved by the national W&F organization and St. Elizabeth’s hospital in Lincoln, Neb.

Hecalls his wife and after at least a dozen rings she answers the phone.Again irritated, the doctor says, “What took you so long to answer thephone?” She says, “I was in bed.” “In bed this late in the day, doing what?” “I was getting a second opinion,” she replied. FAST DATE’S NEGOTIATIONS–If you’ve joined the Cantina, you saw Jim’s babes. We’re in the process of negotiating a contract with Jim to house all his calendar girls in the Bikernet headquarters during the six months it takes to shoot each calendar. We’ll report on the progress in the next couple weeks.This month he wrapped up the photography of the upcoming 2002 FastDates.comCalendars in a sizzlin’ cover shoot with our favorite calendar models andSBK World Superbike trophy girls Brooke Johnson and Taylor McKegney.
