LIMO RIDING BANK ROBBER–Ricky Beale rode in the back of a stretch limousine to rob a Bank of America of $5,000, San Francisco police say, only to earn a free ride to jail later Thursday.
Beale, 31, a personal trainer, hired the limo to take him from his studio on Van Ness Avenue to San Francisco International Airport, said Inspector Dan Gardner of the robbery detail. Beale told the driver to stop at his girlfriend’s place.
Instead of visiting his girlfriend, however, Beale went to the Bank of America branch at 3701 Balboa St., police said, and allegedly robbed two tellers after simulating having a handgun.
A witness spotted Beale getting into the limo. Police were alerted and pulled the car over at 20th Ave. and Lincoln Way at 11:20 a.m.

Bedrolls and Dayrolls are back, at reduced prices, in the Gulch. Check it out, they even come with shoulder straps and reuseable ty-wraps. They’re the best.
OUTLAWS CLUBHOUSE RAIDED–At a Christmas party, full of food, family and festive cheer held by the local Outlaws Motorcycle Club’s clubhouse state troopers and local police knocked down the two doors, ordered everyone to hit the floor, handcuffed and photographed each of the revelers, searched for illegal guns, and ripped open their presents.
Police were there on Dec. 20 to execute a search warrant, but they made no arrests and found none of the guns they were looking for. Now the Outlaws claim police violated their civil rights and say they plan to file suit in federal court.
Police were looking for Frank Nelson and were granted warrants to search his car, his home and the Outlaws’ clubhouse at 27 Division St., where police say he is the sergeant at arms. Nelson was arrested in 1994 on a misdemeanor charge that prohibits him from owning guns. State records show that he has nine weapons registered to him, according to one of the three search warrant affidavits unsealed Monday.
According to the affidavits, which were signed by Waterbury Superior Court Judge Michael Hartmere, police felt the search was justified because Nelson had guns registered to him that he is not allowed to have, because he is an Outlaw, and because the Outlaws are known to store personal belongings at the clubhouse. Police also searched his home, and hoped to search his car, but they could not find it.
Kathleen Eldergill is the attorney for the Outlaws. She is also representing five state Department of Correction employees who are under investigation for their alleged association with the Outlaws. Eldergill has said she will file suit on First Amendment grounds if her clients are disciplined.
In the case of last month’s search, she says she’ll argue the Fourth Amendment’s protection from unreasonable searches and seizures.
“It’s kind of scary to think you can be at a party, the police can raid you, handcuff you, detain you for as long as they want to, and then say before you leave, you have to have your picture taken,” Eldergill said. “That’s scary, I think. A lot scarier than the motorcycle club.”

SMOKE OUT NEWS–I got a call from Goth Girl last night minutes before she was going on the air for a radio interview. She went on record during the interview that she is riding out to the Smoke Out this year. California to North Carolina. Hard-core lady. A car tagged her the day before Thanksgiving. It broke her foot and slid the bike about four feet, but she kept the bike up and didn’t high side. She was back on the bike the day the cast came off.
We talked for ten minutes after the interview. In ten minutes we covered some memories from the last Smoke Out like the little know karaoke debut in the Pink Lady Lounge by Indian Larry (and her admiration for his surprisingly silky smooth singing voice), her past with you (interesting, no further comment- she says hi), favorite movies, past and future Discovery channel plans, music, the wall of death and the major tragedy that the Devil Doll calendar will be six months late or not come out at all this year (I’ll never make it anywhere when I should). A lot in ten minutes but Goth can talk about 400 miles an hour when she is revved (so that is like 30 minutes in normal time).
The party is heating up. I am hearing from many Bikernet fans excited that you are coming and demanding a small gathering of the Bikernet faithful.

THE BIKERNET MOVIE DEPARTMENT–I’m writing on behalf of Warner Bros. Pictures to see if you would be interested in helping us promote our newest release, Torque. The moviestars Ice Cube, Martin Henderson, Monet Mazur, Matt Schulze, Jaime Pressly.Torque opens nationwide January 16th, 2004.
Set in the fast-paced world of motorcycle racing, Cary Ford (Henderson)is framed by a long-time rival, Henry (Schulze). As Cary and his friendsmake a run for it, they have the most notorious and feared biker gang in thecountry and the FBI on their tails.
THE BOLIVIAN RUN REPORT–Just back from Bolivia. It was a wild ride all around.You’ve got to love a country with few laws and lessenforcement. A few scorpions visited the bano’ in thecasa of me wifes familia. I caught em, put em on iceand brought em back with me. The three are nowfloating in an alcohol bath waiting to be molded,mounted and sprayed with a fixative.
Beetles as big asmy hand and caterpillars close to 9 inches long swarmed overa tree on the property. A 500lb. Jaguar was takingdown cattle in a back country ranch about 100 klm awaya few weeks before we got there. He was caught and putinto the Santa Cruz Zoo. We made a visit and they hada total of eight Jaguars housed there from Bolivia andthe Pantanal. The zoo housed mostly local fauna;Jaguars, tapirs, Andean Condors, Harpe Eagles,Anacondas, javalinas and Puma.
I got inked in Santa Cruz by a Brazilian artist.Pirata Urbano (Urban Pirate) around me shoulder with askull medalion. Ink is cheap in Bolivia but the workis primo. Got me wife’s cousin his first piece as anXMas gift.
There is roughly 8 B’s (Bolivianos) to 1 US dollar. Apack of smokes cost 8 B’s and a case of brew is 5bucks US. A buck goes a long long way…
The cervesa is a local brand called Pacena’ with a fewdifferent brews. The Pacena Hauri is a thirstquencher. The trick is to drink it quick because inthe heat of the Amazon Basin (high 90’s, low 100’s &humid) it gets warm fast.
The bike scene is for transportation. No pretense justutility. The closest Harley dealer is in Lima, Peru.Most of the bikes were Jap dirt/enduro style, big andsmall. It wasn’t uncommon to see three to five peopleon one bike. One guy was ridin while his young wifebreast fed their baby behind him and two smallchildren squatted on the gas tank. There was a fellowin the back country with a Brit bike complete withsidecar loaded with his family and groceries from anoutdoor market.
Well that’s it for now. Got in at 3 A.M. and I gotta getsome shut eye. I’ll send off a few pix soon. Happy 2004
Live Free Or Die!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROGUE BAD COP INVESTIGATION CONTINUES–DAMN, There sure seems to be a lot of these Cops Fucking Up. And this is only the ones we know about. Sort of like the tip of the iceberg thing.
Bad Cop: Deputy arrested for theft at Walmart Texas – Police arrested Deputy Jose Perez, an 18-year veteran of the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, Saturday night inside the Wal-Mart store near Loop 410 and Rigsby Avenue in East San Antonio.
“When something like this happens in our agency — or in any law enforcement agency — it’s a blow to all the officers,” Deputy Chief Henry Martinez said.
Police said that Perez tried to walk out of the Wal-Mart store with $500 worth of goods after paying just $70.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office speculated that it was just one instance in a chain of thievery that’s been going on for weeks involving several thousand dollars worth of merchandise.
“There’s no definite proof of who was cashiering, but there is some speculation that maybe a relative was involved or a friend of a relative,” Martinez said.
Perez was charged with theft — a class B misdemeanor. The sheriff’s office said those charges could upgraded pending further investigation.
Bad Cop… No Doughnut!

THE CORK– Two Arab terrorists are in a locker room taking a shower after their bomb making class, when one notices the other has a huge cork stuck up in his butt.
If you do not mind me saying,” said the second, “that cork looks very uncomfortable. Why do you not take it out?”
I regret I cannot”, lamented the first Arab. “It is permanently stuck up in my butt !”
“I do not understand,” said the other.
The first Arab says, “I was walking along the beach and I tripped over an old oil lamp. There was a poof of smoke, and then a huge old man in an American Flag attire with a white beard and top hat came boiling out.
He said, “I am Uncle Sam, the Genie and I can grant you one wish.”
I said, “No shit?” and “Poof !”
God Bless America !

THAT’S IT–I’m taking a goddamn break. Should I tell you about her thigh, the bike we’re finishing, the ride I didn’t make, the most recent issue of HORSE or some bullshit Bandit philosophy?
On one hand I want to give it a break. I’ve been strapped to this goddamn computer chair all day, and I want sex, I mean “out”. On the other hand, I’m pumped. It’s gonna be one helluva year. Even Jesse James had a new daughter. The first baby born in 2004 in Long Beach.
So it’s gotta be one helluva new year.
Ride Forever,
–Bandit
