Life just ain’t fair all the time.
The weekend promised to be packed with romance and working on bikes then we ran into Harold’s Saloon, pulled up stools and gazed into the drooping green eyes of the redhead behind the bar. “We’re out of Jack Daniels.” I looked over at my own green-eyed beauty who knew right down to her perky nipples that she was in trouble. Let’s dive into the news:
Run For Breath Update You’re on the “ball” tonight, aren’t you??? It usually takes days to get a response from you!
Thanks for your ideas. We will take them up at the next meeting. Of course, I have veto power, so I can’t make any promises! Mike says to go ahead and start on the logo/banner for the run. That would be too cool for school! Seriously, a best of show trophy from you would be the crowning touch, just don’t wait until July 4th to start working on it.
As far as Las Vegas goes, I have you penciled in. Mike’s been a real bear lately. If the ticket arrives on one of his bad days, I can be there in 3 hours!
Love and kisses…
The Run for Breath is a charity run to help kids with lung deseases run by Charlotte Harley-Davidson. Bikernet is a sponsor of this event. We are looking for an artist to help with the logo for this year. If you know any talented motorcycle related artist with time for little kids, let us know.–Bandit
Sunday Contest–Name That Era
Straights and garbage wagons
Yuppies and bowling balls
Posers and evos
Rubs and twinkies
Remember when a “real biker” would ride no evo? Five speeds were for wannabes? Putting a kicker on a five speed was the ultimate sign of being a poser, you might just as well wear clown shoes and a Bozo nose?
Funny how the names change but, the bullshit stays the same.
Maybe one day people will realize that you can love what you’re into, dream it, live it, and promote it without pissing on everyone else parade. Choppers are cool, always have been, always will be. What anyone else does will not change that. Live and let live.
Cool things and cool people never need to waste a single breath in self promotion. Anyone jumping up and down, waving flags, saying look at me, I know what is cool and you don’t, surely has no clue what they are taking about!
I guess it make good copy though, eh! Haaaaaaaaaa

Reader’s Project Bike
“JUST SHORT OF 2 GAL. OF FILLER LATER HOUSE OF COLOR PRIMER IS DONE WET SAND AND PAINT START TOMARROW,” said Ken Miller of his next home project.
We’re about to post a short feature on Ken’s last nitrous powered monster. He’s handles all aspects of his builds at home with the exception of engine builds. Watch for the feature and more reports on his next project in the near future.
Cue Ball
A guy walks in to a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he’s drinking the monkey jumps all around the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them. Then he grabs some sliced limes and eats them. Then he jumps on to the pool table, grabs one of the billiard balls, sticks it in his mouth, and to everyone’s amazement, somehow swallows it whole.
The bartender screams at the guy, “Did you see what your monkey did?”
The guy says, “No, what?”
“He just ate the cue ball off my pool table — whole!”
“Yeah, that doesn’t surprise me,” replied the guy. “He eats everything in sight, the little idiot. Sorry. I’ll pay for everything.”
The man finishes his drink, pays his bill, pays for the stuff the monkey ate and leaves.
Two weeks later, he’s in the bar again, and his pet monkey is with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again. While the man is finishing his drink, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out and eats it. The bartender is disgusted. “Did you see what your monkey did now?” he asks.
“No, what?” replied the guy. “Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry up his butt, pulled it out and ate it!” said the bartender.
“Yeah, that doesn’t surprise me,” replied the guy. He still eats everything in sight but, ever since he swallowed that cue ball, he measures everything first.”

Why War?
Everyone seems to be wondering why Muslim terrorists are so quick to commit suicide.
Let’s see now. No beer. No booze. No bars. No television. No cheerleaders. No baseball. No football. No basketball. No hockey. No golf. No tailgate parties. No Hooters. No pork BBQ. No hot-dogs. No burgers. No lobster, shellfish, or even frozen fish sticks. Rags for clothes, towels for hats. Constant wailing from the guy next door because he is sick and there are no doctors. 24 hour wailing from a guy in the tower.
No chocolate chip cookies. No Christmas. You can’t shave; your wife can’t shave. You can’t shower to wash off the smell of donkey cooked over burning camel dung. The women have to wear baggy dresses and veils at all times. Your bride is picked by someone else, she smells just like your donkey, but your donkey has a better disposition. Then they tell you it all gets better when you die. –Jim W Williams

Road America Launches 100th Birthday Bash!
Racetrack to Become Motorcycle Rally and Camp Site during Harley 100th Anniversary Celebration Aug. 25-Sept. 1. Elkhart Lake, Wisc., Feb 6, 2003?Road America will host to up to 20,000 motorcyclists during Harley-Davidson’s 100th Anniversary celebration, according to RA president and general manager, George Bruggenthies. The motorcycle riders are expected to start arriving Aug. 25 and stay through Labor Day, which concludes Harley’s 100th Anniversary Milwaukee celebration. Road America was selected as a campground and major event site because of its long history with motorcycle racing, the area’s reputation for service and hospitality and the track’s ability to host a large number of guests. Visitors will be able to register online at 100th Birthday Bash! ? will be an all-in-one major event, where campers will be able to enjoy the full facilities of Road America’s existing campground, while also having access to a special entertainment and activities area on-site. 100th Birthday Bash! ? activities and facilities will include daily rock bands, tattoo parlors, ride-in bike shows, manufacturer demo rides, daily poker runs, dyno shootouts, female vevue, leather and lingerie parades and a special Trade Alley area where some of the world’s leading aftermarket manufacturers will display their latest products. All activities will be held at Road America, which is located just 40 minutes north of Milwaukee at Elkhart Lake. Because the race track is booked, motorcyclists will also be able to watch on-track sports car activities free. Campers may stay on the grounds for a weekly fee of $115 per person. Daily visitor passes, offering access to the activities and entertainment area, will be available for $20. Motorcycle clubs may stay together in a group if they make a group reservation; all camping reservations must be made in advance.”It’s going to be a big week for Road America, for the community and the state,” said Bruggenthies. “We’re looking forward to having motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the world staying here.” The race track will be working closely with community leaders and will encourage motorcyclists to ride the scenic Kettle Moraine and visit area communities, Bruggenthies said. Additional information, as it is finalized, will be included on the 100th Birthday Bash! ? site at: He Just Had To Have A New Tattoo What–you don’t answer e-mail anymore? OR are you back on another boat going around the world? I know it’s not because you have been “called-up”–you’re too fucking old! Life goes on around here. Bitter cold and constant snow! My lady friend will return from Fla. in two weeks–that will be nice, since she has been missing me a great deal. Got a new tattoo yesterday–about 4 hours worth. This guy is an artist and this is an original design that I had him do! The artist is Richie Slam and he is an artist first of all!! He lives in the country but will be opening a shop in Newport, Me. to get in touch with him–207-876-4099. Richie is one of the best in the world and his family started one of the most sought after art schools in the USA. It took 4 hours and worth every minute of it! –from snow-bound Paul V. Sunday Post Motivational Study When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but do not quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don’t give up though the pace seems slow– You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than, It seems to a faint and faltering man, Often the struggler has given up, When he might have captured the victor’s cup, And he learned too late when the night slipped down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out– The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit– It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn’t listen. So I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker. I smacked him on the head, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring and threw it on the ground, and told him, ‘ Leave her alone now or you’ll answer to me.'” St. Peter was impressed. “When did this happen?” “A couple of minutes ago.” –Jim W Williams Astonishing An OSU coed said, “I was worried that my mechanic might try to rip me off, I was relieved when he told me all I needed was turn-signal fluid.” –from Kristine J. Let’s Ride–So Friday was a bust, then Saturday I ran out to Larry Settle’s shop to pick up a set of foot control pads for the Panhead and discovered that the little bastards cost $50. Holy shit, three pads from V-Twin. But no sweat, there was a hot date lingering in the wings for the night and I knew where I could find a shot of Jack. The pads extended the controls out almost an inch to give me some slack around the dual Mikunis. As the sun settled Sin and the Blond began to yip at one another and I stumbled past the edgy bickering to the cupboard. The bottle of Jack was nearly empty, Damn. I could sense the evening going on reserve in the middle of the desert. I was running out of fuel. Ah, but today clear. The threat of rain on the coast abided for a few more days. We’re about to post an interesting article one on of the first motorcycles developed in the US, the Yale/California. The article was written by an Australian rider who stumbled across one. Imagine, at the time, 1902, they had wooden rims. We’re just about to finish my 1928 Shovelhead at Dallas Easyriders, but can’t decide what to paint in the panels of the old JD style tanks. We’ve discussed art deco hood ornaments of naked women, pin-up girls, “Renegade’s Flyer” written in old ’30s wagon lettering and Harley logos. Let us know what you think. In the meantime, it’s Sunday. Take a break. –Bandit
