READER’S SHOWCASE BIKE–I just sent a note asking how to get my bike on your site and then I found the Reader’s Showcase. Sorry Bro. Don’t mean to waste your time. I can post my own feature. That’s cool.
Man, I’d love it if you featured my bike. It’s called “el Camino”. I have more pics if you want them. Like detail shot of some of the custom work I’ve done on this thing.
I just wanted to build the best old school hardtail I could using all top shelf (read way too expensive) components. I hope somebody feels this. The pictures don’t do it justice.
Thanks allot man.

TIM CONDER FINALLY CHANGES ADDRESS–Exciting news! After living in California for 9 months, we have finally changed our contact info to relflect the change. Please make a note of the changes.
Well, let’s see….I got my first California paint job last week. The boys at Lucky’s Choppers up in Seattle have been keeping me so busy I haven’t even hung out a shingle! This new job is a cool blacked out FXD from here in Sonoma. Candy tangerine with black flames, then a little bit of the usual Conder Custom detail work.
This paint work is great, and we’ve decide to gear up for a new bike project. Along with the design and custom paint services, we plan on building Conder Custom #4. Now, I know I’ve got a bit of history building hardcore, ornery choppers, but all that creative angst can be directed at just about anything. At last count I’ve got over 100 motorcycle concepts, so if you’re lookin’ to step into the ether and build a wild ass motorcycle, e-mail or give me a call.

RUN FOR BREATH FINALE–We held our wrap-up meeting for the 6th Annual Run For Breath “In Memory of Justin Pullin” last night. Some new ideas were discuseed for next year, but it was more a thank you meeting for all of the volunteers. I wrote a check this morning to the American Lung Association for $9080.00! The largest amount ever from the run!
All of us would like to thank you and all the staff at Bikernet headquarters for all you do to promote the run and especially for the best of show trophy. The trophy has become an icon for the RFB.
Ben, the owner of Ben’s V-Twins and the winner of this years best of show trophy says, “The trophy is displayed on his parts counter and people have made special trips to see it!” We can’t wait to see next years! Oh yeah I forgot to tell you we have already told people you would make another one????
Thanks again for everything especially for your encouragement through out the year!

PLUG-IN IGNITION FROM DAYTONA TWIN TEC–THIS is a plug-in ignition unit for all ’03 to ’05 carbureted Twin-Cam 88 and Sportster models fitted with a 12-pin ignition module.The device is constructed with a low-profile machined billet aluminum housing and offers easy plug-in installation.All the switches are accessible from the top.
Four rotary switches are used to set the advance characteristics and rpm limit. The unit allows the adjustment of ignition timing via a switch that controls the initial timing. An additional switch sets the slope of the ignition curve. The range of adjustments allows users to set the timing advance for a wide range of applications, from stock to highly modified engines.
The memory facility records the last 30 minutes of engine operation, including rpm, vehicle speed, manifold pressure, ignition advance and battery voltage. This memory feature is useful for tuning and diagnostic purposes as well as investigating warranty claims.
The system is fully compatible with the Harley-Davidson SAE J1850 data bus – the communication system between the various electronic assemblies.
Using a PC link cable, users can download maps to supply specific advance curves for precise dyno tuning. By the same method, logged data can be viewed and speedometer/odometer recalibration can be carried out. The PC link cable plugs into the existing Harley-Davidson diagnostic connector – part of the motorcycle’s wiring harness. The PC link cable is sold separately and the Windows-compatible software is available for download.

3D CUSTOMS CREATIONS–My name is Steve Parker, owner & creator of 3D Customs, Sasha told me to send you pictures of our three dimensional work for your commentary. We hand sculpt 3D raised images on bikes, cars, boats or anything with a hard surface, even ABS plastic. The work we do is very tedious and time consuming and we must wear respirators at all times.
All of our 3D images are sculpted from custom made epoxy resin that is made to my specifications it is extremely durable and it can also be chromed or powder coated. I also own a windsurf shop called windsurf Ohio; being in the windsurf business I learned how to use all types of resins and composites and I have over twenty years experience in custom fiber glass work. I hope you like what we do, the pictures turned out good but when you see this 3D work in person it will blow you away.
My web site is http://www.3dcustoms.com. My site has more pictures.
Well the wind is howling and the waves are up; got get my FIX!

BIKERNET WOMEN COMPARISON TEST–Ladies – If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it’s still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant “fix-me-up.”
Real Women – If you over-salt a dish while you are cooking, that’s too damn bad. Please recite with me, The Real Women’s motto: “I made it and you will eat it and I don’t care how bad it tastes.”

THAT’S IT, LET’S BLAZE–Speaking of Sturgis. The shot above was taken in Stugis the day we rolled in several years back. That’s me on the left, Myron Larrabee of the Billet Bar in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Agent Zebra. We raced from both coasts to the middle. Myron and I rode from the west and Agent Zebra left from Miami on that Paughco and Rev Tech Softail. He rode about a 1,000 more miles and you can read the whole story in the Garage and in our Non-fiction area. I built both bikes.
Speaking of one of the wildest individuals I’ve ever met, here’s the infamous Agent once more. Probably one of the best, most prolific writers I’ve had the pleasure to work with. He’s in Hollywood writing screenplays right now.
Let’s get this bastard posted, before someone accuses me of getting stoned at lunch.
Ride Forever,
