BIKERNET TESTIMONIAL–My husband (Bob Provance aka hamsternm) had me open your bikernet site for him, since I was on the computer at the time. Well, he came to ask if I had, “Yes” I responded. I left out that I had opened it a couple of hours earlier, and had never left. I was having a great time. The pictures. The articles. The Events Calendar. The Free Departments. The Sponsors.
“Oh for crying out loud, I may never sign off!” I also joined Bandit’s Cantina while I was surfing. I have been Bob’s co-pilot for over 40 years and totally enjoy every minute we spend riding. OK, maybe not the moments that include ‘hail’.
I love your site. Being an old COBOL programmer, I really think your web designers are talented.

ps, guess I’ll let Bob look at your site now
STEALTH REPORT ROLLING IN FROM NC–Well we are at the end of August, we have one more month of summer! The summer has really passed by quickly. Here at STEALTH BIKE WORKS it has been a good summer for us. People are still finding out that we are here. We have built a strong foundation and a strong customer base. I could not have done it alone. Thanks to the SBW crew, Max, Chopper John, “THE MEANEST” and J.C. our shop dog!
For me what makes being at the shop everyday is that I learn something everyday, be it with bikes or people. As far as bikes go I have learned so much from Max. You are never at an age where you can not learn something new. As far as people go, well that is another story in itself. The one thing that I have learned that is most important to me is to keep things in balance. Don’t get too low when things are going bad or slow and don’t get too high when things are going great. Both of these can change very quickly, so I try to take things in stride and keep going. I have also learned that no matter what you do you can not please everyone all the time but we try and succeed more times than not. Some people just are never satsified. I have learned not to dwell on this. You let it go and move on.
I think we have developed our style this past summer and people know we are an old school-bobber style bike shop. Ninety percent of our customers are into this style of bike so our inventory reflects this style. Word of mouth from our customers to potential cutomers has help us a lot. That is why before each bike goes out Max and I both test ride them. When we agree everything is cool with the bike, then we call our customer. We really try to give our customers their money’s worth at SBW. If a problem should arise, we stand behind what we do.
I guess you could say we are still learning everyday and that is a good thing because when you stop learning you become complacent and start to take things for granted and that is when you get into trouble. We are still a small shop but we take BIG pride in what we do.
One thing we are kicking around at STEALTH BIKE WORKS is the idea of starting an SBW chopper-bobber riding club sponsored by SBW. It is in the early stages right now. We will see how it goes. Well I guess that is it for this week. If we can help youi with anything give us a call at 704-882-0889.
Until next week, RIDE!

Things progressed to the point where he invited her back to his apartmentand, after some small talk, they retired to his bedroom where he rattledher senseless. After a pleasant interlude he asked with a smile, “So, you finish?” She paused for a second, frowned, and replied, “No.” Surprised, Guido reached for her and the rattling resumed. This time shethrashed about wildly and there were screams of passion. The sex finallyends and, again, Guido smiles and asks, “You finish?” Again, after a short pause, she returns his smile, cuddles closer to himand softly says, “No.” Stunned, but damned if this woman is going to outlast him, Guido reachesfor the woman yet again. Using the last of his strength, he barely manages it,but they end together screaming, bucking, clawing and ripping the bedsheets. Exhausted, Guido falls onto his back, gasping. Barely able to turn hishead, he looks into her eyes, smiles proudly and asked again, “You finish?” Barely able to speak, the beautiful blonde whispers in his ear, “No, INorwegian.” –Joe Lankau BONNEVILLE EXHAUST FOR THE SALT REPORT–Perfect! The wrap will retain the heat and produce more exhaust scavenging which may let us run a tad more ignition timing. Don’t forget to read your rule book! Safety wire your criticals (axle nuts, rotor bolts, calipers bolts,) etc… Be ready for tech, ask questions, read. Tire pressures, steering damper settings, cables and hoses secured. It will be the “twodolla” part that kills us. Clear finger nail polish on the coil terminals and other electrical terminals. Put small wire ties on the spark plug boots at the coil. Don’t let them come off. Damn, this list is getting long. Wish I was there. Go ride, have fun. –Berry Wardlaw NEW TANKS SAVER TECHNOLOGY–Hope all is well. See our new McCuff Product Video(see it at: www.mccuff.com ) regarding a new invention that keeps gas off your tank, Stops the nozzle clicking at the pump, allows you to top-off if you want. It also squeezes more mileage from your tank capacity. See the video. Filling up is fun again.
