Lot?s going on around here. The drywall hangers and plasterers have been working for three days straight getting the walls of the Headquarters? living space like new. This is an old building and some things like pipes on the outside of walls and creaky floors I can live with. But when every wall in this place has a different texture and is full of cracks, it?s time to call in the pros.
Last weekend Bandit worked on a few projects in the warehouse. He installed high-bars on his panhead and cleaned up an old table base. Any old scrap around this place will eventually become furniture or decorations. Where most gals get a nice piece of ceramic on a table, I get a Pope motor on an old table stand to fill with plants. I love it!
I posted a few new articles earlier this week, I hope they keep you busy for a little while at least, till I can post some more.
The news is a little short this week because of the activity and dust all around me. You can see for yourself the chaos. The good thing is, when they?re finished I?ll be able to move my temporary office out of the living room and in to it?s permanent location; the room with a fantastic view!
Here?s the news.
NOTE FROM BANDIT–Although we feel the changes being made to Hot Bike are for the good of all, not everyone shares our enthusiasm. So, girls and changes aside, there is a complete guide to fuel-injection in the March issue for anyone wanting to know it all. If you ride a fuel-injected bike, or even if you don’t but still have interest, you gotta get this issue.
Over and out… Bandit

OBITUARY
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend by the name ofCommon Sense who has been with us for many years.
No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were longago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
He will be remembered as having cultivated such value lessons asknowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets theworm and that life isn’t always fair.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spendmore than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not kids,are in charge).
His health began to rapidly deteriorate when well intentioned butoverbearing regulations were set in place.
Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment forkissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwashafter lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student,only worsened his condition.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parentalconsent to administer aspirin to a student; but, could not inform theparents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Finally, Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandmentsbecame contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals receivedbetter treatment than their victims.
Common Sense finally gave up the ghost after a woman failed to realizethat a steaming cup of coffee was hot, she spilled a bit in her lap, andwas awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust,his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.
He is survived by two stepbrothers; My Rights and Ima Whiner.
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
Ifyou still know him pass this on, if not join the majority and donothing!!!

VICTORY FOR THE VETERANS–Governor Taft signed into law AM. SUB. H.B. 406; on December 22, 2004. This law will make Veteran License Plates available for motorcycles ninety days after the signing date. This is a result of ten-plus years of ABATE of Ohio, Inc. , and other activists working within the “system”. As frustrating as it has been; victory finally belongs the riding veterans of the Buckeye State!
HOLES–A working girl is standing at The Gates Of Heaven when she hears horrible screams of pain and torture coming from inside.
She says to St. Peter, “What’s going on?”
He says, “That’s the sound of new angels getting big holes drilled into their backs for their wings, and small holes drilled into their heads for their halos.”
She says, “Heaven sounds terrible. I think maybe I’d rather go to Hell.”
St. Peter says, “In Hell, you’ll be constantly raped and sodomized.”
She says, “That’s okay. I’ve already got holes for that.

BAD-ASS–Guess this is one of them Mid West Cowboy things……..
“These pics came from a guy in AZ. Yes, the mule killed the mountain lion.The lion had been stalking them for the better part of the morning, on theway out to a hunt. They were pretty sure it was after one of the dogs. Thecat ambushed them, and the mule pictured tossed its rider and went intoattack (defense) mode, the horses scattered and shots were fired but no onewas sure if they hit the cat or not. Unfortunately, it wasn’t until itwas almost over that one of the guys started snapping pics.
The mulefinally stomped the cougar to death after biting and throwing it aroundlike a rag doll. The dogs wouldn’t even come close until the mule settleddown.
Note the dog audience…. Gives new meaning to the term “BAD ASS”
