The sizzling news was launched a day early last week. Cut me a break this week, will ya? I just unwound myself from an 8-hour flight from Tahiti. Last night eight of us partied with the Harley Riders of Tahiti. There are 75 plus Harleys in French Polynesia and this particular group supports the handicapped children’s’ schools and facilities on Tahiti and Moorea. Bikernet is helping them create the first run to Tahiti. This was dry/wet run to one of two major charity banquets in Papeete sponsored by Sofitel Hotels and the Harley Riders. Incredible party of over 800 guests. I’ll tell you much more about it in complete report from the islands, so you’ll know I wasn’t slacking. Let’s get to the news…

BEACH RIDE REPORT–The Beach Ride 2003 will rock this year at the Queen Mary on September 7th, in Long Beach California. We are in the process of building a Custom Chrome ground up custom to raffle off. This ride was designed for the Exceptional Childrens Foundation. It’s a non-profit Charity Ride. No bullshit.
We hope to have outstanding groups for entertainment such as WAR and ———–. We are working on a world class display of antique motorcycles and a master builder to display his bikes. We will also have a ride-in bike show and we’ll start taking entrants in the next couple of weeks.
We are currently looking for a rider with a sidecar and a pet who loves to be the co-pilot. If you know of someone, drop me a line. We need the rig and rider for television publicity.

CRUISING BILL PASSES ARIZONA LEGISLATURE–House Bill 2386 Passes with a 35-22-3 Vote.The Arizona House passed HB2386 on March 12, 2003 with little public fanfare. It has been unaffectionately labeled the ?dangerous driving? or ?anti-cruising? bill by its opponents because in its strict interpretation it makes riding a motorcycle or any other vehicle in ?processions? of two or more illegal.
That means weekend rides by groups of motorcyclists will put them are risk of being cited with a moving violation that is a Class 1 Misdemeanor ? similar to speeding, drag-racing or reckless driving, and exposure to fines of up to $2500 for the offense. It will make all organized ?rides? such as Poker Runs, Charity Rides, etc. illegal and expose all the riders to the aforementioned penalties.
But there is still time to act out against this Bill before it becomes law. Essentially we have four opportunities to stop it.
The Bill now moves into the Arizona State Senate where a Committee will review it and then open up a hearing for public debate on the pros an cons or the proposed legislation.
OK! So what do we/you do now? The best thing we can do as individuals is contact our Senators (and House members) and A list of our Senators can be found at http://www.arizonasenate.org/senate_directory.htm and it provides names, districts, phone number (all 602 area code) and email addresses as well as mailing addresses. Now is the time to start voicing you objection to the bill and the aforementioned argument should be stated in any message you convey to those Senators.
Check CycleRides.com for more info. We will be meeting with Senator Jim Waring (R ? Scottsdale) – a co-sponsor of the Bill in the Senate and Representative Mark Thompson (R ? Tempe) – a member of the House Transportation Committee on Wednesday (March 26) afternoon to voice our concerns. We will report on the results of that meeting next week.

THE MAY COMPANY USED BIKE LOT–Here’s some bikes my pals have for sale. The first one is this white pearl ’89 Heritage Springer which was torn down and completly rebuilt with S&S cases and lots of billet and chrome goodies. It was been featured in a magazine a few years ago. It’s been sitting for years. These assholes never ride. They just wheel and deal. There was about 30 grand put into this bike and it can be bought for half that. Just contact me, Bill at (702) 301-4042.
This one is a ’57 motor on a unbutchered ’52 frame. The front end is off a Ultra Groundpounder. It is a great running bike and a stock primary cover will fit over the belt. We have one that goes with it. This bike would be an easy restoration. He’s asking 10 grand, all trades considered.
Here’s another old school chopper. It would make someone a great project. The motor is a late ’60s Shovel with a Pan cam cover and earlier left case with a bad number job. It has a clear Nevada title that says it is a ’53 FL. It runs very strong and has Performance Machine brakes front and rear. It is a suicide with a rachet jockey with a folding bayonet on it. As little as $6,000 will take it. Oh, the frame is a real ’56-57 straight leg that has never been raked but it has been moulded and lots of brakets are removed.
Ok, here are the last two. One is your typical 883 Hugger. It is a very clean ’95 with 13k miles on it. Lots of new stuff including the Le Pera seat and drag pipes. Runs perfect, has new tires etc. $5,500 will take it. The other one is a Shovelhead FXR with a 89-inch hot set-up in it. It has forward controls and a late style wide glide off a Dyna. Runs very strong, needs cosmetics, $8 grand. obo. Owner is dying of cancer fast and his family needs the bucks.
Thanks and have a great week, maybe get laid for me cus I haven’t found a chick I am compatable with for a long time, I guess I am too picky or got too much when I was young.

FROM THE BIKERNET INTELLECTUAL LIBRARY–A Wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa and takes his faithful pet dachshund along for company.
One day, the dachshund starts chasing butterflies and before long the dachshund discovers that he is lost.
So, wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having lunch. The dachshund thinks, “OK, I’m in deep trouble now!”
Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by, and immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the dachshund exclaims loudly, “Boy, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here?”
Hearing this, the leopard halts his attack in mid-stride, as a look of terror comes over him, and slinks away into the trees. “Whew,” says the leopard. “That was close. That dachshund nearly had me.”
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So, off he goes. But the dachshund saw him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figured that something must be up.
The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.
The leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, “Here monkey, hop on my back and see what’s going to happen to that conniving canine.”
Now the dachshund sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and thinks, “What am I going to do now?”
But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn’t seen them yet… and just when they get close enough to hear, the dachshund says, “Where’s that monkey? I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard.”
The Moral: SOMETIMES IF YOU CAN’T DAZZLE THEM WITH BRILLIANCE, THEN BAFFLE THEM WITHBULLSHIT!!
