Yes, last weekend as I danced with Sin Wu in the narrow passageways of the Queen Mary, the dark forces that linger in the alleys of Hollywood reared their ugly heads and struck at the Agent’s ride. Brenda Fox from Bartels’ Harley-Davidson reported the following day that two more Harleys were captured in a ritzy Marina del Rey neighborhood while I groped at Sin’s milky flesh.
Was there foul play at the headquarters? Only the district attorney’s investigation may unleash the sordid details. Were women involved? Of course they were. The lovely Germanic blonde, Nicole, called me Friday morning and asked, in her dry, threatening, sharp-as-a-razorblade dialect, what I was doing. I mistakenly told her the tasty weekend schedule. If the rain let up I was to meet the Devil Dolls in San Diego. Goth Girl had demanded my presence in an underground night club in the old town section of Dago. I was scheduled to take two hefty brothers as back up since the Dolls seemed to be on a rampage, but then Sin and Layla got wind of my plans and enticed me into an evening of unrelenting sex and debauchery. Getting a sensual guarantee seemed more intriguing than being jack-boot stomped by the notorious Devil Dolls.
Back to the conversation with the tall blond Nazi. I shuddered at her request but didn’t hesitate to comply. Zebra had first been ousted from Los Angeles by the homeless union of derelicts and winos. He was nasty as an unemployed biker. He moved to Miami and set up a crank lab in the center of Cuban drug cartels. His popularity decreased rapidly as his low-quality speed filtered through the already edgy streets and skyrocketing humidity. He begged to return to Los Angeles. The staff voted against the Agent’s request for subsistence for all his hard work on the site. This didn’t endear the Agent to the staff, or as his threatening antics escalated, the staff to the Agent. In a recent marathon sexual strategy meeting, the Agent burst into the garage and started firing that nasty .45 automatic and even startled Renegade. The outburst forced the staff to pull his Bikernet patch and send him down the road. So when the lovely Nicole called demanding that we go to a particular party on the Queen Mary, we conceded. Little did we know that she was protecting us with a valuable alibi so that the nefarious deed could take place and we would be completely covered. I thought renting an entire ship and throwing a party for 300 people was a bit extreme. The story slips deeper into a den of depravity from here. We better get to the news:
–HARLEY-DAVIDSON REPORTS RECORD FOURTH QUARTER AND 15th CONSECUTIVE RECORD YEAR–2000 Net Income Increased 30.1 Percent on 18.5 Percent Higher RevenueHarley-Davidson, Inc. (NYSE: HDI) today announced record sales and earnings for its fourth quarter and year ended Dec. 31. Revenue for the quarter was $756.2 million compared with $662.5 million in the year-ago quarter, a 14.1 percent increase. Fourth quarter diluted earnings per share (EPS) were 31 cents, a 26.5 percent increase compared with last year’s 24 cents. Revenue for the full year was $2.91 billion, compared with $2.45 billion in 1999, an 18.5 percent increase. Diluted EPS for the full year were $1.13, a 31.1 percent increase compared with $0.86 in 1999.
“Our 15th consecutive record year exceeded our expectations, and despite the current economic uncertainty in the United States, the outlook for retail sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles continues to be very strong,” said Jeffrey L. Bleustein, chairman and chief executive officer of Harley-Davidson, Inc.
“Through the continued introduction of market-defining products, a dealer network that is the envy of the industry, and our demonstrated ability to focus on and to fulfill our customers’ dreams, we are confident we will continue to deliver record revenues and income.”
“Fourth quarter results, current demand and our continued success in expanding motorcycle production, have given us the confidence to increase our production target to 227,000 Harley-Davidson motorcycles for 2001,” said Bleustein.
Fourth quarter shipments of Harley-Davidson motorcycles totaled 54,129 units, up 5,509 units or 11.3 percent over the same period last year. Sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles were $606.1 million, an increase of $75.9 million or 14.3 percent.
Sales of Parts and Accessories (P&A), which consist of Genuine Motor Parts and Genuine Motor Accessories, totaled $98.5 million, an increase of $20.2 million or a 25.9 percent increase from the year-ago quarter. Fourth quarter sales of General Merchandise, which consists of MotorClothes? apparel and collectibles, totaled $40.7 million, an increase of $5.6 million or 15.9 percent over the same period last year.
Longer term, the Company expects the growth rate for P&A revenues to increase slightly faster than Harley-Davidson’s motorcycle unit growth rate, while it expects the growth rate for General Merchandise to grow slightly slower than the motorcycle unit growth rate.
Fourth quarter gross margin was 34.7 percent of revenue, up slightly from 34.6 percent of revenue last year.Fourth quarter operating margin for the Motorcycles and Related Products Segment was 17.3 percent of revenue, which was better than last year’s fourth quarter operating margin of 16.6 percent. Operating expenses did not increase as rapidly as revenue, resulting in improved operating margins. Included in operating expenses was a charge of $4 million related to the cost of extending the warranty for a rear cam bearing in certain Twin Cam 88? engines.
Harley-Davidson/Buell retail registrations in 2000 have grown in all major markets, with the U.S. up 15.4 percent through November, Europe up 8.8 percent through October and Japan/Australia up 3.6 percent through October. (See Table that follows for more detail.)
Harley-Davidson Financial Services, Inc. (HDFS), a subsidiary of Harley-Davidson, Inc., reported fourth quarter operating income of $13.0 million, up $4.5 million compared to the year-ago quarter.
For the fiscal year ended 2000, total Harley-Davidson motorcycle shipments were 204,592 units compared with 177,187 units in 1999, a 15.5 percent increase. Harley-Davidson motorcycle revenue was $2.25 billion, an increase of $355.5 million or an 18.8 percent increase.
Total Buell motorcycle shipments were 10,189 units compared with 7,767 units in 1999, a 31.2 percent gain. Buell motorcycle revenue was $58.1 million, a decrease of $5.4 million or 8.5 percent. The decline in revenue was driven primarily by a shift to production of lower-priced Buell Blast motorcycles, which target new riders.
P&A revenue totaled $447.8 million, a 23.5 percent increase, while General Merchandise revenue totaled $151.4 million, a 14.1 percent increase compared to 1999.
Full year operating income for HDFS was $37.2 million, an increase of $9.5 million or 34.3 percent compared to 1999.
Diluted earnings per share were $1.13, an increase of 31.1 percent. After the first quarter sale of the Harley-Davidson? Chrome VISA? card is excluded, diluted earnings per share were $1.11, an increase of 28.5 percent.

BUELL REPORT–Had a day off here and didn’t even want to be at the shop. Needed to work on my forks on my Buell but needed more to be away to clear my head. So first I went up to Tilley’s and did some “bench racing” with my buddyNeal. Showed him some Flow Bench plans I ran into, a really cool way of building one.
He showed me a stock Buell air box that he had on his S2. It was the newer style that a lot of people don’t like. He modified it with a air intake opening on the front end of the air box cover. It had a K&N air filter at the opening. Good way to do Ram air. It was also paintedthe same color as the the bike and not the stock textured flat black.
After that I visited a buddy at Curley’s H-D in Winston Salem, N.C. I checked out the dealership. It’s a nice place with the “diner” and all. They were pretty busy. Doing a lot of cam changes on Twin Cam bikes.
Also saw Bonnie, a lady friend of mine there who used to work with me at Charlotte. Made a point for me to try and get tickets for the Easyriders Bike Show this weekend at Charlotte.After that I went and saw T.R. at Tman performance. Man I was in DragBike heaven! There was cool stuff all over the place — Serdi machine, heads, flowbench, just amazing stuff. Not the kinda stuff you see in any magazine. It was stuff that you see at the Strip taken apart being worked on. This guy is really talented.Going there and also going to Tilley’s is just what I needed to get my head going again. Wish I had some pictures because words don’t even come closeto describing some of the stuff that these shops are doing.
Anyway, other than that, nothing really to send. Hope to get some pictures for you from the Easyriders show this weekend.– Paul in N.C.

BIKERNET DECEMBER SHOW WINNERS– Well, now that Oz and the Gangster have kissed and made up and things are back to normal (well normal for this place), we have a whole new set of winners to share with you in the Cyber Space Bike Show. There are some fabulous bikes that really deserve a look-see. These winners from December can look forward to a great Bikernet trophy and some other hot prizes. Remember, it cost them nothing to enter.

Street Custom-Stock – Chris Chrome of Huntington Beach, Calif. Vintage – Christopher Lotz of Lawrenceburg, Ken. Vintage Chopper – Ray Carter Jr. of Harlingen, Texas
Our congratulations to these wonderful winners. One problem Bandit… Chris Chrome, the winner in our Street Custom-Stock category, swears that I, Sundance, am you “in a skirt.” Now I’ve seen you in plenty of skirts, but you were never the one wearing them, so we’ll have to find a way to convince Chris and any other “Doubting Thomases” out there that you and I are two different people. Unless you don’t mind having our visitors think you are some split personality transvestite! I’m looking forward to the January judging. Geez, I always love to see who our new winners are, but I can’t wait to see Oz have the Gangster keel hauled if he comes across another glitch in the programming!
Love ya!

COAST TO COAST BIKER NEWS–Compiled and Edited by BILL BISH,National Coalition of Motorcyclists (NCOM)
FEDS ENDORSE HEALTH CARE DISCRIMINATION For the past several years,motorcyclists have rightfully believed that we had won the federallyprotected right to medical benefits from our health care providers in theevent of an accident. But now, over four years since bikers from across thecountry successfully lobbied Congress to ban health insurance discriminationagainst motorcycle riders, new regulations released recently may actuallyhave the opposite effect.The original intent of the legislation, the Health Insurance PortabilityAct of 1996, was to protect employees from being discriminated against bybeing denied coverage ”due to their participation in activities such asmotorcycling, snowmobiling, all-terrain vehicle riding, horseback riding,skiing and other similar activities,” according to the Congressional Recordfrom that time.But on January 5, 2001, the three federal agencies involved in therulemaking process to codify the legislation into federal regulations,released the new rules which appear to completely contradict the originalCongressional intent. While on one hand the regulations state that employers cannot refusehealthcare insurance on the basis of an employee’s participation in legalrecreational pursuits, on the other hand it allows health care benefits to bedenied for injuries sustained in connection with those activities.
Weencourage concerned riders to contact your Congressional representatives andurge them to take corrective action.To contact members of Congress, call the Capitol Telephone Exchange at(202) 224-3121.
Flash-Just in, President Bush has declared a moratorium on any new regulations being printed in the Federal Register. This may effectively block implementation of this new rule. Stay tuned for more updates!
EPA TO TARGET MOTORCYCLE EMISSIONS– The Feds are drawing a bead onmotorcycles, and will soon tighten emissions standards for street bikes andimpose standards for dirt bikes, which are currently unregulated at thefederal level.The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to follow California’slead in both sets of standards, reports the San Francisco motorcyclepublications CITY BIKE.Along with bikes, snowmobiles, marine engines and industrial engines suchas those used in forklifts are expected to come under scrutiny in the comingmonths.In a November document called an Advance Notice of Proposed Rule Making,the EPA puts forth their case for regulating machines hitherto untouched. Onpage 3 of the document, it is proposed that while they’re at it, they may aswell tighten standards for street bikes too.
TAXMAN MAY SOMEDAY RIDE WITH YOU One day, perhaps, every vehicle on the road will be equipped with a computer that uses satellite technology torecord every mile you drive, and in which states and on which roads. Thenthe government will use that information to tax you for your driving.That day could be just five to 10 years away, according to an article byLarry Sandler in the MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, as Wisconsin has joinedeight other states and the federal government in paying for an $800,000 studyof whether such a system could be created to replace the gas tax.Although this Orwellian concept is plagued with privacy concerns, they’repressing ahead with the study, because they fear the growth ofalternative-fuel cars could mean the end of the road for the gas tax. As aside benefit, they say the system would give every driver a satellitenavigation unit and a way to call for help in an emergency.
MICHIGAN PASSES LAW TO LIMIT MOTORCYCLE CONFISCATIONS Michigan GovernorJohn Engler signed a bill on Jan. 5, that will prevent policeagencies from withholding a motorcycle longer than 30 days after it isconfiscated. The motorcycle confiscation bill (SB1012) provides for safe andsecure transportation and storage from the time the bike is picked up by anypolice agency (if the bike gets damaged the bill has provisions forpenalties). The police then have 30 days to return the bike to the owner orface penalties, court costs and actual attorney fees (if an attorney wasrequired to get the bike back). This bill will help prevent the police from taking a bike just to harassand detain bikers and then keeping the bike for years without cause.Senator Mat Dunaskiss (R) sponsored the bill at the request of Angel(Communications Director) ABATE OF MICHIGAN, Inc.”I sure hope other states can use this too,” said Angel, ”We are allin this together and we don’t always live or ride in the same state all ofour lives.”
SPANISH BAN ON MOTORCYCLE TRAILERS BROUGHT BEFORE COURT The EuropeanCommission (EC) has decided to bring Spain before the Court of Justicebecause it considers that Spain’s absolute ban imposed on motorcycles towingtrailers is an unjustifiable barrier to the free movement of goods andpersons between Member States of the European Union.The EC, while sharing the Spanish authorities’ concern for road safety,which was cited as justification for the ban, considers that road safety canbe achieved by measures which are less trade-restrictive. For example, otherMember States impose maximum speed limits on motorcycles with trailers or setmaximum trailer dimensions or weight limits on the load which the trailersmay carry.After Denmark, where the trailer ban was lifted in June 1998 thanks tothe efforts of the FEDERATION OF EUROPEAN MOTORCYCLE ASSOCIATIONS (FEMA),Spain is the only country imposing this type of ban. According to FEMA, thiscauses a lot of problems for many touring motorcyclists with trailers who aretraveling between southern countries, all of which allow trailer use.
SIDECARISTS SOMETIMES OVERCHARGED AT TOLL BOOTHS ”Back in the 70’s inresponse to statements from our members, we found that many tollways, tollbridges, toll tunnels, turnpikes, etc., were charging sidecarists up to 50%MORE than the driver of a heavy two axle limo or pickup truck,” E-mailed HalKendall of the UNITED SIDECAR ASSOCIATION.”Over a period of about five years we worked consistently to bring abouta uniform and fair toll not to exceed the rate for a passenger car,” saidHal. ”We thought we had all tollways in line but it seems that on occasionsome will charge a sidecarist as a three axle vehicle.”The latest, says Hal, was the Harris County Toll Road in Houston.Upon receipt of Hal’s letter requesting clarification of their rates, Mr.Bernard Koudelka, Executive Director responded that they will address thisissue with all their collection personnel and to charge sidecarists at theirprivate passenger 2-axle rate.
NEW DARWIN AWARDS UPDATE–The Darwin Awards, for those not familiar, are for those individualswho contribute to the survival of the fittest by eliminating themselvesfromthe gene pool before they have a chance to breed.
A young Canadian man, searching for a way of getting drunkcheaply, because he had no money with which to buy alcohol, mixedgasolinewith milk. Not surprisingly, this concoction made him ill, and hevomitedinto the fireplace in his house. This resulting explosion and fireburnedhis house down, killing both him and his sister.
A 34-year-old white male found dead in the basement of his homediedof suffocation, according to police. He was approximately 6’2″ tall andweighed 225 pounds. He was wearing a pleated skirt, white bra, blackandwhite saddle shoes, and a woman’s wig. It appeared that he was trying tocreate a schoolgirl’s uniform look. He was also wearing a military gasmaskthat had the filter canister removed and a rubber hose attached in itsplace. The other end of the hose was connected to a one end of a hollowwooden tube approx. 12″ long and 3″ in diameter. The tube’s other endwasinserted into his rear end for reasons unknown, and was the cause of hissuffocation. Police found the task of explaining the circumstances ofhisdeath to his family very awkward.
Three Brazilian men were flying in a light aircraft at lowaltitudewhen another plane approached. It appears that they decided to moonthe occupants of the other plane, but lost control of their own aircraftandcrashed. They were all found dead in the wreckage with theirpants around their ankles.
A 27-year-old French woman lost control of her car on a highwaynearMarseilles and crashed into a tree, seriously injuring her passenger andkilling herself. As a commonplace road accident, this would not havequalified for a Darwin nomination, were it not for the fact that thedriver’s attention had been distracted by her Tamagotchi key ring,whichhad started urgently beeping for food as she drove along. In an attempttopress the correct buttons to save the Tamagotchi’s life, the woman lostherown.

SHIT!– I’m gonna have to stop being such a nice guy. I mean, you go out of your way to help a buddy who’s in a bind and you end up on the Internet being tagged a bike thief. That’s gratitude. Next time I do you a favor, I’m makin’ sure there aren’t any cameras around. People used to just think I was a low life, now they’ll know it for sure. I hope you never get any pictures of me screwing some dude’s old lady, I’ll be fucked for sure.

So, what do you want me to do with the film?–Bandit
ALWAYS THOUGHT GREEN SNAKES WERE OK? READ ON–Green Garden Grass snakes can be dangerous, Yes, grass snakes, notrattlesnakes. A couple in Sweetwater, Texas had a lot of pottedplants,and during a recent cold spell, the wife was bringing a lot of themindoorstoprotect them from a possible freeze. It turned out that a littlegreengarden grass snake was hidden in one of the plants and when it hadwarmedup, it slithered out and the wife saw it go under the sofa.She let out a very loud scream.
The husband who was taking a shower ran out into the living roomnaked tosee what the problem was. She told him there was a snake under thesofa.He got down on the floor on his hands and knees to look for it. Aboutthattime the family dog came and cold-nosed him in the butt. He thoughtthesnakehad bitten him and he fainted. His wife thought he had a heart attack, soshecalled an ambulance. The attendants rushed in and loaded him onthe stretcher and started carrying him out.
About that time the snake came out from under the sofa and theEmergencyMedical Technician saw it and dropped his end of the stretcher.That’swhen the man broke his leg and why he is in the hospital.The wife still had the problem of the snake in the house, so shecalledon a neighbor man. He volunteered to capture the snake. He armedhimselfwith a rolled-up newspaper and began poking under the couch.
Soon he decided it was gone and told the woman, who sat down on thesofain relief. But in relaxing, her hand dangled in between the cushions,whereshe felt the snake wriggling around. She screamed and fainted, thesnakerushed back under the sofa, and the neighbor man, seeing her layingtherepassed out tried to use CPR to revive her.
The neighbor’s wife, who had just returned from shopping at thegrocerystore, saw her husband’s mouth on the woman’s mouth and slammed herhusband in the back of the head with a bag of canned goods, knockinghimout andcutting his scalp to a point where it needed stitches. An ambulancewasagain called and it was determined that the injury requiredhospitalization.
The noise woke the woman from her dead faint and she saw her neighborlying on the floor with his wife bending over him, so she assumed hehadbeenbitten by the snake. She went to the kitchen, brought back a smallbottleof whiskey, and began pouring it down the man’s throat.
By now the police had arrived. They saw the unconscious man, smelledthewhiskey, and assumed that a drunken fight had occurred. They wereabout toarrest them all, when the two women tried to explain how it allhappenedovera little green snake.
They called an ambulance, which took away the neighbor and hissobbingwife. Just then the little snake crawled out from under the couch,One ofthe policemen drew his gun and fired at it. He missed the snake andhitthe leg of the end table that was on one side of the sofa. The tablefelloverand the lamp on it shattered and as the bulb broke, it started a fireinthe drapes. The other policeman tried to beat out the flames and fellthroughthe window into the yard on top of the family dog, who startled,jumped upand raced out into the street, where an oncoming car swerved to avoiditand smashed into the parked police car and set it on fire. Meanwhiletheburning drapes had spread to the walls and the entire house wasblazing.
Neighbors had called the fire department and the arriving fire-truckhadstarted raising his ladder as they were halfway down the street. Therising ladder tore out the overhead wires and put out the electricityanddisconnected the telephones in a ten-square city block area.
Time passed —————– Both men were discharged from thehospital,The house was re-built, The police acquired a new car, and all wasrightwith their world ——- About a year later they were watching TV andtheweatherman announced a cold snap for that night. The husband askedhiswife if she thought they should bring in their plants for the night.
She shot him.
THE BAD AMERICAN– I like big cars, big guns and big tits. I believe the money I make belongsto me and my family, not some mid-level governmental functionary with a badcomb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts squeezing out babies.
I don’t think playing with guns makes you a killer. I don’t think being aminority makes you noble or victimized. I don’t care if you call me aracist, a homophobe or a misogynist. I know that no matter how big JenniferLopez’s ass gets, I’ll still want to see it.
I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac in America, you do it inEnglish. I don’t use the excuse “it’s for the children” as a shield forunpopular opinions or actions.
I know what the definition of “is” is. I didn’t take credit for inventingthe Internet. I want them to bring back safe and sane fireworks.
I believe no one ever died because of something Ozzy Osborne, Ice-T orMarilyn Manson sang. I think that being an art student doesn’t give you anymore insight than working at Blockbuster.
I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God. I think the WNBAis cool, as is the US Women’s’ Soccer Team – because they kick ass.
My heroes are John Wayne, Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan, NormanSchwartzkopf, Colin Powell and whoever canceled “Dr. Quinn, MedicineWoman”.
I think creative violence and useless nudity and sex makes movies moreinteresting.
I don’t hate the rich. I don’t pity the poor.
I’ve never owned or was a slave, I didn’t wander 40 years in the desertafter getting chased out of Egypt. I haven’t burned any witches or beenpersecuted by the Turks and neither have you, so shut-the-hell-up already.
Rocky and Bullwinkle still make me laugh. I think you can respect andadmire women while mentally undressing them. I believe a self-righteousliberal with a cause is a lot more dangerous than a 9-year-old with a PlayStation.
I think explosions are cool. I don’t care where Ellen DeGeneres puts hertongue. I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you’rerunning from them.
I worry about dying before I get even.
I like the convenience of buying oranges while I’m waiting at a stoplight,and I’m pretty sure the Latina girl selling them to me is glad she no longerlives in a refrigerator packing carton outside Ensenada.
I figured out Bruce Willis was dead midway through The Sixth Sense butenjoyed it anyway.
I think turkey bacon sucks.
I believe you don’t have to speak with a lisp to pick out a couch or paintfor your living room.
I’ll admit that the only movies that ever made me cry were “Sands of IwoJima” and “Ole Yeller”. I didn’t realize Dr. Seuss was a genius until I hada kid.
I and many like me are neither angry nor disenfranchised, no matter howdesperately the mainstream media would like the world to believe otherwise.–YES, I am a BAD American
HEART ATTACK–A middle aged woman has a heart attack and is taken to the hospital.While on the operating table she has a near death experience. Duringthat experience she sees God and ask if this is it.
God says no and explains that she has another 30 years to live. Uponher recovery she decides to just stay in the hospital and have afacelift, liposuction, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, etc.She even has someone come in and change her hair color. She figuressince she’s got another 30 years she might as well make the most ofit. She walks out of the hospital after the last operation and iskilled by an ambulance speeding up to the hospital.
She arrives in front of God and complains: “I thought you said I hadanother 30 years.
God replies, “I didn’t recognize you.”
TOURING CHOP FOR SALE– One of the icons of Bikernet is for sale to help us stay in bean and Jack, plus assist with the construction of a new shop. The entire saga of the construction of the Touring Chop is covered in the annals of Bikernet. Recently the ignition system was changed to a Compu-Fire single-fire unit, which smoothed out the stroker motor, and we re-engineered the rear suspension to give it the finest ride it’s ever had. Plus a couple of months ago it was featured in a Rod Stewart music video.

Speedy Regards,”LandSpeed” Louise Ann Noeth WIN A HARLEY–There is a radio station here in Denver that is giving away a Harley to aMANwho will agree to have breast implants. He has to keep them in for oneyear.They say it is an $8,000 bike. Can you imagine doing that for abike???????I think this is a lawsuit waiting to happen (not to mention potentiallyimmoral), but then again, what do I know??? — Jane SCREAMIN’ EAGLE PERFORMANCE PARTS AND IHRA ANNOUNCE NEW NITRO HARLEY-DAVIDSON PURSES AND SHOOTOUT–Screamin’ Eagle Performance Parts, a division of Harley-Davidson, has announced their increased commitment to the IHRA Screamin’ Eagle Nitro Harley-Davidson class.

She noticed the manopposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat. Thistime the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed moreamused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, She complainedto the driver and he had the man arrested. The case came up in court. The judge asked the man (about 20) what he had tosay for himself. The man replied, “Well your Honor, it was like this: Whenthe lady got on the bus, I couldn’t help but notice her condition. She satunder a sign that said, “The Double Mint Twins are coming” and I grinned.Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, “Slogan’s Liniment will reducethe swelling” and I had to smile. Then she placed herself under a sign that said, “William’s Big Stick Did theTrick” and I could hardly contain myself. BUT your Honor, when she moved thefourth time and sat under a sign that said, “Goodyear Rubber could haveprevented this Accident…I just lost it.” “CASE DISMISSED” BIKERNET SUPERBOWL PARTY AND BLUES JAM–It’s Jan. 28, upstairs in the Blue Cafe off Broadway in the downtown Long Beach Promenade.

Time: 7 p.m. MORE STATE MOTTOS– Georgia: We Put the “Fun” in Fundamentalist Extremism WHERE WAS I? There’s an evil spirit hanging over the L.A. Basin. I’m trying desparately to buy a pickup and Don Whalen called. He’s an Indian and vintage expert who is selling my ’46 Indian (626-358-9696). Although, I’d rather keep this beautiful puppy. He only called an hour ago to report that someone had just stolen his El Camino. This cage was beautiful and has a license plate that says SCOOTERS. If you see it, kill the driver and give me a call. That’s three bikes and a biker’s truck in a week. Not a good average. Damn, I wanted to share some of the sordid details from last weekend. The girls just get nastier by the day. But now I’m not up for tales of long nights of crumpled sheets and satisfying moans. It just doesn’t seem right. I’m going to pour a Jack on the rocks and reflect, or spin the cylinder on a .357 mag and wish for outlaw justice. Let’s mount up and ride–Bandit
