This will be a completely screwy news section. It feels too close to the Holidays, like we should continue the party. Okay, why not? We will, so I’ll keep the business end short and sweet.
We sat down the other day and started kicking around goals for 2003. We plan to publish another book and it may be Badlands with MotorBooks International or the first of the Chance Hogan series. Either way I’ll be happy. The site is growing monthly, but there will be a few changes including the entire 1500 page CCI catalog may be on home page soon. We will finish the Amazing Shrunken FXR and the King is heading to the powder coater. Then I will begin a Pro Street Twin Cam for the ride to Sturgis. Plus I’m interested in restoring a Pea Shooter, if I can find a deal on one to replace my ’31 VL.
Some may be doable goals and others dreams, but ya gotta take a shot each year. I’ll tell you one important and loveable aspect to life at Bikernet, the people and the pure fun of doing it. It’s a blast, and if is wasn’t for Jose, Crazy Horse, Helen, Jason, Frank Kaisler, Jon Towle, Bob and Chris T. and especially Nyla, it couldn’t be done or handled with the fun we have. So enjoy the ride with us for another year.
BIKERS HAVE A BUMPY RIDE IN 2002–London was the scene of inter-club rivalries, internal dissent and police crackdowns for Ontario’s biker gangs.By RANDY RICHMOND.
LONDON, Ont. — London’s biker world started with a bang and ended with some big busts this year.In between, the Hells Angels and their rivals, the Outlaws, faced off at a bike show and took turns going to court and jail.After the dust cleared, the biker clubs were still around, but damaged, and police could cautiously declare several victories.The rivalry between the newcomers to London and Ontario, the Hells Angels, and the long-established Outlaws erupted Jan. 7 outside the Outlaws clubhouse on Egerton Street.

ADVICE TO MY SONS– by Deasal.
If you can still walk, it wasn’t enough.
Ride or don’t. I don’t want to hear excuses.
Fight or don’t (see above).
A fast bike, good conversation, excellent sex. All else is superfluous.
A real friend will hold your hair out of the way while you puke.
Always hit with the fleshy part of your hand.
A friend is a friend, but a buddy you can sleep with.
There is no such thing as too many orgasms.
Dream more. Think less.
There is always time for more oral sex.
If you don’t like your life, change it. Don’t whine.
Never trust the carpeople, always assume that they are out to kill you.
Don’t be bothered with stupid people, push them aside and carry on.
Heart and soul: Some are born with it, some earn it, some never have it.
When meeting someone new, trust your nose: If they don’t smell right, don’t eat them.
Love is the most powerful of all motivators: Some will die for it. Some will kill for it.
The fire of passion is never to be regretted.
Don’t go to your death regretting what you didn’t do.
Never underestimate the pleasure of sportfucking.
If you don’t end up bruised, bleeding or sore you weren’t playing hard enough.
TROCK TECH ON CV CARBS COMING TO BIKERNET–“Talked to Trock. He informed me that he is writing some stuff for the CV carb article. Karen his wife will type it up and I’ll go over it when I get it.” said Pablo.
What a writer. He had the manufacturer handle the chores. The carb we are featuring is above and may end up on my Twin Cam Pro Street. Hang on. CVs are noted carbs by some of the best, so we’ll examine why and report back. The other gadjet is a Trock designed tool for removing and replacing stock gas inlets on CV carbs. They stock units are notorious trouble makers.

BIKERNET CANADIAN SCIENTIFIC STUDY–Yesterday, scientists for Health Canada suggested that men should take a look at their beer consumption, considering the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer.
The theory is that drinking beer makes men turn into women. To test the finding 100 men were fed 6 pints of beer each. It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn’t drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing, and refused to apologize when wrong. No further testing is planned.
