BIKERNET DOES SOMETHING RIGHT–I was jogging around the web one day and tripped over your site… scrapes and bumps but nothing broken, thanks for asking. After scanning through a few of your articles I was hooked!
I scrolled down to the first one and made my way to the top. Now I check back every day in anticipation of a new one. I am very impressed with the quality of the mechanical work you guys do and the way you pound the keyboard. You have a way of writing that keeps the reader interested and coming back for more.
Keep doing what you’re doing, it works.

MY GOD, ANOTHER BIKERNET CORRECTION–Not to be a pain, but on this page: http://www.bikernet.com/garage/intechwetrust.aspCovington calls the FAA the “Federal Aeronautics Administration”. Close, but no cigar. I think he means the “Federal AviationAdministration”. They leave the Aeronautics to NASA.Overall you’ve got a great site going. Keep up the good work.–Joe Atzberger
BIKERNET BAR JOKE–
A BIKER goes into a bar and approaches a
A hard body who is sitting by herself.
BIKER: “Can I buy you a shot or beer?”
Hard Body: “No thank you, alcohol is bad for my legs.”
BIKER: “Sorry to hear that. Do they swell?”
Hard Body: “No, they spread!”

THE GIRLS OF GREENE COUNTY–The Girls of Bikernet Department of Bandit’s Cantina will open in the next couple of week. We are looking at four features to kick it off with. We’re hoping to include a bike from Greene County. They know how it’s done.
WOMEN LIKE BIKES THESE DAYS–They better hurry before the sport is outlawed. You need to read my book about the future of biking, Sam “Chopper” Orwell.
In 2004, Sandy Zakosky decided to get back into the motorcycle thing after giving it up more than 20 years before.”I rode as a kid because I couldn’t afford a car and I liked it,” said Zakosky, 57, of Brighton, Mich. “Now that the kids are out of the house and out of college, I decided to do it again.”According to industry watchers, more and more women like Zakosky are falling in love with motorcycles. An estimated 6.6 million motorcycle owners lived in the United States in 2003, according to the Motorcycle Industry Council, based in Irvine, Calif.And about 635,000 of those are women. The number of female riders rose 36 percent from 467,400 in 1998.

My good friend Jim Houck- Special Agent Zebra- wrote an article for last July’s issue of Hot Bike magazine about my work. After getting a call today from New Orleans for a jacket projectfrom someone who saved the article I thought I’d follow up on Jim’s good advice to try and meet with Keith. I’m not sure if this is his address…however I’m wanting to do a promotional piece for Keith- as it can only be fun for everyone! You can see some of my work at http://www.Kristinemueller.com.

THE END–It’s a short news cause most of it was compiled yesterday. If you sent us something and don’t see it; it will be in next weeks news.
I’m not really gonna goof-off while Bandit’s away. We’re about to tackle our ‘Great Room’ rennovation. We put it off because of work, holidays and other reasons, but I can’t take my funky kitchen any longer. While Bandit is gone, I’m gonna pack up our temporary livingroom/kitchen and start the electrical install, new plastered walls, new ceiling, new kitchen cabinets… Not all this while he’s gone – just getting ready.
Have a great weekend, I will be busy.
