THE BIKERNET POLITICAL REFERENDUM FINDINGS–“You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

SCORPION JACKET AND .38– that well worn revolver in the thursday news sure looks like a S&W Chiefs Special. Brings back fond memories as my dad had one that he taught me to shoot when I was but a lad of 11 or 12. He passed in ’68 and my uncle sold it not knowing I would want it.
Oh well, I carry a .45 now and whenever I go to the range I think of him.

THE END–Take the rest of the week off. You guys are kicking our butts. If there’s anymore news, I’ll need double-wide lines of speed to keep up.
We’re rockin’ on the 5-Ball Factory Racer. This is a strange build. John Reed asked me about my project-bike attitude. I told him I fall in love with each bike as it comes together. I stir my green tea leaves in hopes for the perfect mechanical artistic creation. I offer smoke signals to the gods in hopes that this motorcycle will introduce me to smooth roads and new adventures. Who is she?
Like the surfer searching for the perfect wave, I blow on the dice and pray for long years of asphalt nirvana. Hang on for the next tech on the Baker Kicker install, the Spyke charging system and the BDL Belt Drive slipped right into place. We also have some bizarre articles headed your way including a road test between a Boss Hoss and an inline Triumph. It’s all about horsepower. We’re working on a Bikers Choice and JIMS tool tech for removing and replacing engine and transmission seals on Jeremiah’s bike. Then we’re going to install new D&D exhaust on an Evo Dresser, and Bassani Exhaust on a 2009 Twin Cam. Never a dull moment at the Bikernet Headquarters.
There’s more. We’re working with JIMS on a transmission re-man program. They’re working on the pricing now to remanufacture transmissions and deliver them back to you like new. Great news. Plus Mike Muldonado called and is bringing this Sportster to the headquarters. We’ll bring you a feature on this low-buck custom in the next couple of weeks.
Let’s Ride
