A little old man in the back of the room yells back, “An elephant”.
She yells, “Close enough!”

Your skills with the electric file were quite impressive I must say. Sometimes it comes down to, When in doubt, fucken figure it out. Like the old SeaBee motto “Can Do”.
These kinda of tech’s are the best, really! These are the thing’s you can do yourself in the garage that make a bike ready for the long haul road trips. When your on a road trip as you well know, it’s all about function.

A NEW ADENDUM TO THE BIKERNET CODE OF THE WEST– I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female drivercut right in front of a pickup truck causing him to have to driveon to the shoulder to avoid hitting her. This evidently angeredthe driver enough that he hung his arm out his window and flippedthe woman off. “Man, that guy is stupid” I thought to myself.
I ALWAYS smile nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever afemale does anything to me in traffic and here’s why:
I drive 48 miles each way every day to work, that’s 96 miles eachday. Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper-to-bumper. Most of thebumper-to-bumper is on an 8 lane highway so if you just look atthe 7 lanes I am not in, that means I pass something like a newcar every 40 feet per lane.
That’s 7 cars every 40 feet for 32 miles. That works out to be982 cars every mile, or 31,424 cars. Even though the rest of the32 miles is not bumper to bumper, I figure I pass at leastanother 4000 cars. That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars I pass every day.
Statistically, half of these are driven by females, that’s 18,000. In any given group of females, 1 in 28 has PMS. That’s 642.According to Cosmopolitan, 70% describe their love life asdissatisfying or unrewarding. That’s 449. According to theNational Institute of Health, 22% of all females have seriouslyconsidered suicide or homicide. That’s 98. And 34% describe menas their biggest problem. That’s 33.
According to the National Rifle Association 5% of all femalescarry weapons and this number is increasing. That means thatEVERY SINGLE DAY, I drive past at least one female that has alousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem, hasseriously considered suicide or homicide, has PMS, and is armed.
Flip one off?
I think not.

SCREAMIN? EAGLE ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR 2003 RACING SEASON–Screamin? Eagle Nitro Harley Class Moves to AHDRA.MILWAUKEE, WIS. – (December 4, 2002) Screamin? Eagle Performance Parts is ramping up for an exciting AHDRA racing season in 2003 and introducing an entirely new Class Program for Screamin? Eagle Nitro Harley racers.
Screamin? Eagle recently announced the end of its five-year sponsor relationship with the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA). ?We?ve had a long relationship with the IHRA, beneficial to both parties, but we decided to focus our support on AHDRA and NHRA programs for 2003,? said Mike Kennedy, director of parts and accessories marketing. ?Focusing in on two sanctioning bodies versus three allows us to do a better job of servicing our customers in each venue.?
?Harley-Davidson has been a good marketing partner during the last five years. I thank them for their involvement, wish them the best in their endeavors and look forward to working with them again in the future,? said IHRA President Bill Bader.
?Screamin? Eagle Performance Parts will work with AHDRA to create a class schedule that should make for an exciting season for the Screamin? Eagle Nitro Harley racers in 2003,? said Kennedy.
The Screamin? Eagle Nitro Harley class series will feature event payouts at each of the 14 AHDRA races and a national championship series payout. A total of $330,000 in payouts will be awarded over the course of the 2003 season, while the 2003 National Championship will pay a total $64,500 for the top ten racers. 2003 Screamin? Eagle Nitro Harley event payout will be $18,000 for each of the 14 AHDRA events.
?We?re really trying to focus on the racer this season and deliver a schedule that gets them in front of spectators at all levels of our sport. These Harley racers put on a tremendously exciting show at speeds of 220 plus miles per hour,? said Kennedy.
?The Screamin? Eagle Performance Parts sponsorship is a tremendous asset for AHDRA, and we?re proud to have been chosen to take Screamin? Eagle Nitro Harley racing to the next level,? said AHDRA President Craig Tharpe.
Screamin? Eagle is also stepping up its support in AHDRA with additional funding in the E.T. (Elapsed Time) Class, three Event Title Sponsorships, as well as continuing support of the Screamin? Eagle Performance Parts Street Class and the season finale $15,000 Screamin? Eagle Shoot-Out in Las Vegas. In addition, Jim?s Machining, who previously sponsored the AHDRA Nitro Class, is expected to announce their new involvement in the Pro-Fuel Class.
?We?re pleased with the growth and success of the AHDRA program, and we?ll continue to support our dealers and customers who compete at AHDRA,? said Kennedy. ?Attendance at these venues has increased substantially and the management at AHDRA is tuned into the total package of delivering a show for the spectators,? said Kennedy.
THE LEPERA MYSTERY EXPOSED ON BIKERNET–There are many opinions and debates as to exactly what factor is the key to a comfortable motorcycle. However many sides of the story you care to discuss, there is one pivotable area of the body that does most of the comfort seeking. That part of the body is just below the waist area in the rear, you know, the part that follows you wherever you go and gives you that much needed support at the lunch counter.

FRIENDLY FIRE FROM BIKERNET–AH! Wait a minute – It’s in the garage dude – and has been for months You can read the worst memos that rattle the computers of the Bikernet Staff in the Friendly Fire area, if that bastard responsible for loading them has done his no-count job. The above story take you behind the scenes at a California motorcycle training school. Z-RATED RUBBER FOR V-RODS– Complementing theAvon 250/40R18 AM42 rear, the widest motorcycle tire in the world, there is now the120/70-21 62H AM41front. Designed for rims from2.75-3.75 wide, it features astylish tread pattern and aspecial sidewall treatmentincorporating a snake head logo.The tire is H-rated for speeds up to 130mph. The Avon Z-rated tire for the V-Rod is the 180/55ZR18[74W] AM42 Venom-R rear which, partnered withthel2O/70ZR19 [60W]AM41 VenomR front, can take speeds in excess of 169mph in its stride. The rear also benefits from Cooper-Avon’s advanced variable belt density (A-VDB) technology. This produces a The Z rated V-Rod front andrear, and a new tall, wide front to complement Avon s250140R1 8tire using a jointless belt of ultra-strong aramid fibres to give the optimum stress load at all lean angles. The centre tread section has closely wound aramid fibres for maximum stability and durability, while the shoulder has slightly wider spaced wound-on aramid fibres giving a bigger footprint at high lean angles. An even wider alternative that won’t compromise top speed performance is also available, the 200/55ZR18 [79W] AM42 Venom-R.

Because a woman who can’t even afford a washing machine will probably never be able to support you. AND… A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her. THAT’S IT–Bring me the Jack. We rode to Arizona last weekend after a week of Screamin’ Eagle Performance additions to the King. It rained on us as if we pissed on the weather blackjack table. We were in cold water from the moment we pulled out at 5:30 in the morning, but hopefully the entire wild report will be splashed all over the Bikernet Home Page in the next couple of days. See the guy in the shot above. I have a report that he wrote on a bike accident and how he survived the ordeal to ride again. I’ve promised to read it this weekend or die. I better get to it. Watch for it next week. It’s slick and cold out there, becareful. We’ve all got to ride to Sturgis next year then on to Milwaukee. It’s mandatory. Have a helluva holiday. –Bandit
Three new Venom tires from Cooper-Avon will give custombuilders tall, wide fronts to complement fat rear tires andV-Rod owners the Avon Z-rated rubber they’ve been waiting for.
