“When in doubt, burn out!”
REAL FUCKING BROTHERHOOD–Hey Bandit, D- Day is coming soon, like I have to tell you. I check everyday to see how everything is going with the bike. I’ve got to tell you I see a lot of red eyeballs in your shop and can smell the midnight oil burning all the way on the east coast. Can anyone say “REAL FUCKING BROTHERHOOD!” to those who always ask what a real biker is? Well just follow this bike being built and you might just learn something. These guys and everybody who helped out are the REAL FUCKING DEAL. Real brothers helping a real bro build a real bike. Maybe if I say “real” a lot it might sink in.
If anybody thinks all these ladies and gents are doing it for the big bucks they would be wrong again. Everybody is busting their ass for no other reason than it’s a dream that one of their brothers have, that?s it! You think these people don’t have anything else to do, MY ASS. This my friends is what they mean when they say A BIKER HAS HEART.
This bike is going to have a lot of soul in it because of all the people who have touched it and left a little bit of themselves behind. This my friends is how most bikes used to be built; built not for the money but by a few brothers helping another brother get his ride on the road. I wish a lot more people would have gotten on board, but hey maybe this is the way it was meant to be. Maybe this highway we are on is meant for only a few and I’ve got to tell you I’m damn fucking proud to be one of them.
I’ve always read interviews where people say they aren’t like the bikers of old, blah, blah, blah ( I admit us real guys have a rough spot or two, but hey that’s what makes us the sunshiny guys that we are) I’ll say it again, I’m proud to be one of them. Those that are opposed, WELL !!.
If anyone agrees with me, let Bandit know.
Later,
Jerry Rollin Sixes.
P.S. Hey Bandit, Sorry if I rambled on but it’s coming to the end of my 15 hr workday and you know how it gets when you are running on empty and what the hell, somebody had to say it. To all the Ladies and Gentlemen (sounds respectable doesn’t it LOL) involved with the Five Ball Racing Team. Godspeed people, Godspeed.
BIKES FOR WOMEN FROM 1 IN 8 AND BOURGET–The 1 in 8 Motorsports Series Against Beast Cancer is very proud to announce the exclusive partnership between the 1 in 8 and preeminent motorcycle builder Roger Bourget Motorcycle to build a limited edition 1 in 8 motorcycle, especially for women. This motorcycle will be a slightly downsized version of their conventional bike, for women who are uncomfortable trying to handle a bike that may weight more than my house and yet the power and styling will be retained. A portion of the sale price will come back to the 1 in 8 to aid women with early detection of breast cancer. Initially there will only be 25 of these bikes available and customers with be able to further modify their bikes to taste. If you know anyone who would like to purchase one of these amazing bikes we will be happy to pay you a commission for you time and energy. Meanwhile, I’d personally love your feedback on the bike. Thanks so much and have a great day!

METRIC THUNDER?S CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY–Metric Thunder’s first Customer Appreciation Day was held back in December of 2005 and was a great success. Over 150 bikes and 200+ bikers spent the day with us at our first location back on Batavia in Orange. Somehow we pulled this off with only 3 weeks notice!
Although many customers have been asking about our next CAD, we decided to hold off until we relocated our showroom and were in a position to accommodate an anticipated 300+ bikes and 400+ bikers. Now that we are settled in, we are ready to roll. We’ll provide all the food & beverages, live music, 6 bike category-contests & trophies and organizational requirements. We are looking to each of you for your product support again this time around. Last time around we gave away over $2,500 in products and have already received a like amount in commitments for this year.
The flier below will provide each of you with most of the specifics for the 2007 event and has not been distributed to retail customers and prospects yet. We are planning to begin promoting this CAD during the first week in September. In addition to distribution of fliers locally and during the upcoming Las Vegas Bike Fest, we will be sending 3 waves of communication to our entire customer base and throughout all Southern California Motorcycle clubs and organizations. Your contribution will be included in each communication and live during the day of the event.
Please contact us regarding your level of contribution or participation this year.
Thanks again for your support,

AREA 51–By now, everyone has heard of the Air Force’s ultra-high-security, super-secret base in Nevada, known simply as “Area 51.” Late one afternoon, the Air Force folks out at Area 51 were very surprised to see a Cessna landing at their “secret” base. They immediately impounded the aircraft and hauled the pilot into an interrogation room.
The pilot’s story was that he took off from Vegas, got lost, and spotted the Base just as he was about to run out of fuel. The Air Force started a full FBI background check on the pilot and held him overnight during the investigation.
By the next day, they were finally convinced that the pilot really was lost and wasn’t a spy. They gassed up his airplane, gave him a terrifying “you-did-not-see-a-base” briefing, complete with threats of spending the rest of his life in prison, told him Vegas was that-a-way on such-and-such a heading, and sent him on his way.
The next day, to the total disbelief of the Air Force, the same Cessna showed up again. Once again, the MP’s surrounded the plane . . . only this time there were two people in the plane.
The same pilot jumped out and said, “Do anything you want to me, but my wife is in the plane and you have to tell her where I was last night!”

I’ll throw the money on the floor, you bend down, and I’ll finishby the time you’ve picked it up.” She thought for a moment and said thatshe would consult with her boyfriend… so she called him and explainedthe situation.

No time to waste, since Berry is on a tight schedule, flying back outta here on Sunday. We?re down to a week and a day before we load up and head to Wendover, UT/NV. There is so much excitement surrounding this years BUB event and I?m not sure if it?s because of Laura and Brian Klock pending nuptials, the anticipated speed of the Assalt Weapan, or the people we?re gonna see? I know, for me it?s the people. I?m so excited to see Hiway again plus some other Bikernet regulars that I?ve never met before. I?m excited for Valerie to challenge herself on the salt, for her goal of 200mph. I am especially excited and pray that we make every person who sponsored us proud to be a part of this team, with many successful runs. I?m hopeful that every person who attends BUB Speed Trials leaves with a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction. Layla
