HEY BIKERNET– I just got done reading Thursdays news I will say this, I started reading E.R. around 73/74. Bikernet is on par with that publication at that time frame. That is a good thing it is geared more towards the average H-D owner on a realistic budget as far as modifying a bike is concerned. The feature bikes and articles are well done and show the readers what trends and styles are in.
I like the street fighter idea and look forward to following the progress of the build. Time to mink oil my leathers.

STURGIS MOTORCYCLE HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES ANNOUNCED–February, 2008 – for more information, contact Christine Paige Diers, (605) 347-2001 – – The Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame is pleased to announce the Hall of Fame inductees for 2008.
Charlie St. Clair (Schultz), J.C. “Pappy” Hoel Outstanding Achievement Award – Charlie has been the Executive Director of the Laconia Motorcycle Week in New Hampshire for the last 16 years. During that time, he has worked to build and sustain working relationships between the big three national rallies – Sturgis, Laconia and Daytona. He is a long-time rider, participant in the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, and advocate for the collective rights of motorcyclists everywhere. Because of his continued efforts to build relationships with the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, Charlie has been awarded the J.C. “Pappy” Hoel Outstanding Achievement Award.
Kenny Price, Founder’s Award – Kenny Price started out at age 13 wanting to tweak a little more power from his 1956 Vespa. From those humble beginnings, Kenny has continued to introduce new and innovative products to support the motorcycle industry, at the same time growing his business, Samson Motorcycle Products, Inc. Kenny is a long-time enthusiastic supporter of the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum and currently has 13 classic and rare collectible motorcycles on display in the museum – earning him the 2008 Founder’s Award.
Becky Brown – Nearly 30 years ago, Becky Brown founded WOMEN IN THE WIND (W.I.T.W.), the International women’s motorcycle organization. The organization not only united women riders, but promoted a comfortable way for more women to get into riding. Brown has been portrayed in the film documentary “She Lives to Ride” by film maker Alice Stone.
Malcolm Smith – Malcolm is a pioneer of off-road motorcycling who gained fame for his accomplishments in the Baja 1000, and for his gold-medal winning rides in the International Six Day Enduro Competitions. Malcolm is also the star of the influential 1970s motorcycle movie On Any Sunday. This movie helped launch an explosion in the popularity of off-road motorcycling in America.
Cristine Sommer-Simmons – Cristine is a long-time motorcycle journalist who has written for a wide variety of motorcycling publications, co-founded Harley Women Magazine, and helped co-found the second chapter of Women in the Wind. Cristine is also a published author of a children’s book Patrick Wants to Ride and is currently working on a screenplay for an independent film about women motorcyclists.
Smiling Johnny Spiegelhoff – One of the original racers in the very first Black Hills Motor Classic in 1938, Spiegelhoff is credited by many as an important force in getting that first rally off to the right start. It was at Johnny’s insistence that the first race organizers sought and secured AMA sanctioning. Johnny then helped re-organize the racing program for the Sunday races that first year – adding races and events that more than doubled the excitement and racing program time for that Sunday.
The annual Sturgis Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Breakfast is scheduled on Wednesday, August 6 at 9:00 a.m. at the Holiday Inn in Spearfish, SD.
Breakfast tickets are available for a $25.00 donation, tables of eight for $250.00. Tickets can be purchased through the Museum 605.347.2001 or on line www.sturgismuseum.com
STURGIS RIDER LIVE TALK SHOW HEADS TO EDITORS– Just saw your note to Charlie about the network interest in the show. I will be up at Charlie’s all weekend working on this with him. We will make this project top notch. I think this is so commercially viable! Thanks, for your efforts in getting this on the road for all of us. You make the perfect biker David Letterman!!!!!

NEW TYPHOON CUSTOM WHEELS FROM HARLEY-DAVIDSON–A Sweeping Design in Polished Chrome or Satin Black.
MILWAUKEE (Feb. 29, 2008) – The new Typhoon Custom Wheels from Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Accessories feature nine arching spokes that spin outward from the hub and blend seamlessly with the rim to add forward motion, even while the motorcycle is standing still. The flat-profile spokes and carved webs add visual intensity. These cast-aluminum wheels have undergone hundreds of hours of testing to meet the highest standards of performance and durability.
All Harley-Davidson wheels bear DOT and JWL markings, ensuring that they meet the requirements of those agencies. Available in polished chrome ($549) or satin black ($399) in a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear, the Typhoon wheels fit 2006-later Dyna models (except FXDWG and FXDF) and 2000-2007 FXSTD models. Requires separate purchase of model-specific wheel installation kit.
For additional information on Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Accessories, see your local Harley-Davidson dealer or visit the Harley-Davidson Web site at www.harley-davidson.com. To find a dealer near you, call toll free 1-800-443-2153 in the U.S.A. or Canada.
IT’S PARTY TIME–I’ve got to blaze out of the headquarters across town for Tony M. Hamster Birthday Party. What could I get my brother he doesn’t already have? Hell, all Hamsters are rich right? Bullshit. Most are just hard working stiffs in the MC business. And you know how the MC biz is right now. Some are struggling.
So I made him a tool the guys at JIMS forgot to make. It’s a mudflap girl tool. Not just any mudflap girl tool, but a Western Mudflap Girl Tool. Maybe left-handed threads. What the hell. I’ll bet he doesn’t have one of these.
Then I gotta pack for Daytona. What’s the weather like down there? I need to check the Shovelhead over for the ride, so I’ll cut this short. But tomorrow I’m launching two features, Swedish show results from the master Horst and the next segment on the Lucky Devil project build, Root Beer. Adjustments had to be made to the drive line for alignment and we’ll show how the Rocky Boatman Valve-spring seat suspension was mounted. Then I may mount of set of new Knockout exhaust on Jeremiah’s bobber, if he shows up. Have a helluva weekend, and if you’re headed to Daytona, hopefully we’ll hook up.
Ride Forever,
–Bandit
