THE VIKING SENDS A FEATURE FROM GERMANY–Attached is the story about Al from Germany.Because of its patriotic intro very nice for the 4th of July…!

Ah, wait. Maybe you’ll like to announce my new website in your news, a non-commercial one. If you like, you may show the banner I attached as well.

A few weeks ago I gave webspace to all the fans that asked me during watching me work:”where can the pictures be seen?” My own agency-site “Wikinger.com” was to small and not the best platform for content like that at all. So we launched a site, on which you may see frequently updated material from our interesting latest gigs. Cars, bikes, tech and dressed babes. Events and meetings and all the stuff we like.

You’re invited to visit us at www.pixel-garage.com . Cheers, Viking (still www.wikinger.com, too!)

Mad Wife Disease—A guy was sitting quietly reading his paper when his wife walked up behind him and whacked him on the head with a magazine.

“What was that for?” he asked.
“That was for the piece of paper in your pants pocket with the name Laura Lou written on it,” she replied.
“Two weeks ago when I went to the races, Laura Lou was the name of one of the horses I bet on,” he explained.
“Oh honey, I’m sorry,” she said. “I should have known there was a good explanation.”

Three days later he was watching a ball game on TV when she walked up and hit him in the head again, this time with the iron skillet, which knocked him out cold.

When he came to, he asked, “What the hell was that for?”

She replied…….”Your horse called.”

AUSTRALIAN FRAME COMING TO AMERICA–I got you name through an American guy, that bought a bike that we assembled and built here in Australia. He said I should contact you directly as he was very impressed by the frames we build. They are built to Australian engineering standards with high quality seamless tubing MIG welded, and powder-coated in house. They can hold up to 145 cubic inch engines.

We are a family established business since 1965, with a factory and warehouse of 12000 sqm. We manufacture anything from steel/tube/wire. We are looking at selling into the USA, with some of your help. I have attatched some photos of some bikes that have been in Australian Magazines.If you could be of any help this is greatly appreciated.

MILLION MILE MONDAY TRIPLES MILEAGE GOAL–H.O.G Members Log More than Three Million Miles in 24 Hours.

MILWAUKEE ? (July 2, 2008) On Monday, June 30, 2008, Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) members around the world shattered the goal set for the club?s inaugural Million Mile Monday, logging more than three million total riding miles in a 24-hour period.

?It blows me away. What started out as a simple, fun idea turned into something very special. Our members really gave it legs–make that miles. What a blessing to be enjoying this beautiful country on American iron right before the 4th of July. Now that’s freedom. Can’t wait till next year!? said Benny Suggs, Senior Director of H.O.G. Operations.

To put the accumulated mileage into perspective, the 3,000,960 miles ridden by the more than 18,000 H.O.G. members who participated on June 30 equates to the equivalent of about 120 trips around the equator. Here are some other fun facts about the mileage record set during Million Mile Monday:

– Riding 3,000,960 miles on an average motorcycle vs. driving a standard passenger car saves nearly 74,673 gallons of gas (or 3,829 barrels of crude oil).

– Even at a fraction under seven seconds for a quarter-mile, it would take three-time NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle Champion Andrew Hines 23,341 hours to ride 3,000,960 miles on his Screamin? Eagle/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson drag bike, one-quarter mile at a time. That?s 12,003,840 trips (from a standing stop each time) down the strip!

– A three-toed sloth, the world?s slowest land mammal (topping out at about 0.1 mph on the ground), would travel 3,000,960 miles in a shade under 3,435 years!

– The world?s fastest jet-powered airplane, the Lockheed SR-71, could fly 1,000,000 miles in 1,433 hours at its top speed of Mach 3.2 (2,094 mph).

Million Mile Monday is an annual event on the last Monday of June and is open to all H.O.G. members– riders or passengers. The feat was recorded by logging into the club?s exclusive members-only website (members.hog.com), where participants registered their miles ridden on that day.

THE LATEST INDIAN MOTORCYCLE EFFORT REPORT ON BIKERNET REVIEW–Great feature, very comprehensive. I’m sure you’ll have “responses.”

I saw the news spot on the Bob Gill Jet Bike. I had just sent that to you as a FYI and can do a full story.In any case, at least for the moment can you add these links in case people want to contact them.They’re in deep need of deep pocket sponsors to get funding to build more of the laser machines to help people around the country. Thanks.

Here’s the contact list: Let me know if you’d like a full feature.

Naturally the whole effort is made possible by sponsors who want to support the effort and in the bargain have their name/logo seen on the Gill-a-Monster jet bike when it roars into action around the country. Stay tuned for latest developments.

BIKERNET PORTAGEE HUMOR– Souza applied for an engineering position at the County of Hawaii. Smith applied for the same job and both applicants having the same qualifications were asked to take a test. Upon completion of the test, both men only missed one of the questions.

The manager went to Souza and said: ‘Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give Smith the job.’

Souza asked: ‘And why are you giving him the job? We both got nine questions correct. This being Hilo and me being a Portuguese, I should get the job!’

The manager said: ‘We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but rather on the one question that you both missed.’ Souza then asked: ‘And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?’

The manager replied: ‘Souza, it’s like this. On question #4 Smith put down; ‘I don’t know’.

You put down: ‘Neither do I’.
