“My goal is to auction off some great items and present Bob Illingworth of Kids & Chrome with a big, fat check Wednesday night at their annual banquet,” says Billy.
In addition to the check, Billy plans to auction off his prized Discovery Channel Biker Build-Off trophy at the Kids & Chrome banquet. With this remarkable gesture Billy proves again, to really be an industry leader, you gotta have a heart!

Most likely published in California. Can you tell me where to search for them/purchase? Thanks for your help! –Karen Hansen NEW MUSKRAT SEAT KIT FROM FABRICATOR KEVIN–This seat kit is designed for the builder who wants a custom made seat. The pan is laser cut from 10 ga. steel, formed, and receives a built-in nose hinge assembly that utilizes a bearing pivot tube. The hinge plates are stainless steel, so the pan can be powdercoated and the hinge polished. The spring mounts are welded onto the pan, and are threaded to allow the springs to be affixed. Pan size is 13″ long by 10 1/2″ wide. The pan has rivet holes pre-punched for your leathersmith to attach the skins to.

This is the same pan assembly that is used on Kevin’s Muskrat bike. The bike was built to travel long distances, and this seat is built to handle a lot of miles in comfort. Pics of seat on bike can be seen at: The kit includes a raw seat pan/hinge assembly, a set of weld-on spring bungs, and a set of 3″ seat springs. $285.00 plus 13.00 S&H RMD BILLET OFFERS AFTERMARKET PARTS FOR BIG DOG MOTORCYCLES–JASPER, MINN – July 11, 2007 – Good things come in threes.

It wasn’t like him to not answer the call. Luke was in the midst of a health battle to which he succumbed to investigators say, five days before he was found. Living alone in Port St. Lucie for several years now, he told everyone that he was going to the west coast to see a new girl friend. We believe he never made it to the west coast. The day he died is still under investigation. He was 57. Luke was one very cool “old timer.” Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, he built a life in Ft. Lauderdale and has a son, Cody, who is now 20. We are trying to contact friends and associates in Arizona, New Jersey, Florida and Ohio to let them know of his passing. If you want to know more as we know more, please contact Katmandu at her email address or cell number below. Sonny Ray will want to call you back and all inquires will be kept strictly confidential. Luke rode through life the way he is now riding with the ones who have gone on before us. Whenever we heard a clap of thunder and see a flash of lightening, we know the brothers above are firing up the horses and heading out across the heavens. Just got word that his day is this Sunday at Boyds Funeral Home at 6400 Hollywood Blvd.in Ft. Lauderdale from 2-5 pm.The family wants close friends to come and pay respects at that time only. Forever in our hearts. –Katmandu 772-631-8181 BIKERNET NEWS REVIEW– I love the site. I Look forward to the news letter every week. I have been member for two years now.. One of my favorite things is the books. I especially enjoy Chance, I have read all the chapters twice. Looking for the next one any time now. Also Good luck on the assault weapon I loved the worlds fastest Panhead(Salt Shaker). Enclosed is some picks of the first bike I built I did it in my garage with a very basic set of tools. My model is my oldest daughter who loves to ride. Oh by the way, my hobby has turned into a full time job. I make my fenders and sheet metal from scratch use stock ’99 Evo crate motors from H-D, and I do all my own painting and upholstery. Perhaps some day we will sponsor biker net as well. One can only hope, Ride free Brother! PAUGHCO AND U.S. CHOPPERS TEAM TO BUILD BOARDTRACK FRAMES–U.S. Choppers has retained Paughco as its exclusive manufacturer for the production of their patented “boardtrack platform” frame. As sales increased over the last year, US Choppers decided to pursue a large reputable manufacturer to produce repetitive results on their unique design. “Our design is hard to produce for the average manufacturer and yields itself to slight variations of the finished product resulting in more necessary tooling and fixture tables further increasing costs,” said Rick Krost, U.S. Choppers, boss. “As we venture forward the future, it was important to find a capable manufacturer who could meet the growing needs of our company while affording scalability to further enhance our price points.” The U.S. Choppers “boardtrack platform” has received several awards and much accolade since it’s release in Nov. 2005. It is available from coast to coast domestically through your local dealer or through catalog company MC Advantages. Call for information and details.

BIKERNET PET CLINIC UNDER INVESTIGATION–Doctor Dave had sex with one of his patients and felt guilty all day long. No matter how much he tried to forget about it, he just couldn’t. The guilt and sense of betrayal was overwhelming. But every once in a while he’d hear an internal, reassuring voice in his head that said: Dave, don’t worry about it. You aren’t the first medical practitionerto have sex with one of their patients and you won’t be the last. Andyou’re single. Just let it go, Dave. But invariably another voice in his head would bring him back to reality whispering: Dave………………………. You’re a Veterinarian, you sick bastard. –from K.R. SANITY FOR THE INSANE AT BIKERNET–Bandit, You are the sanity in my insanity. Sound weird. Well here’s a story you gotta hear. I’m a small time builder operating out of Johannesburg in South Africa. I’ve been around custom bikes, racecars and hotrods since the late ’60s. My passion became my profession back in 1992 when I started producing bodywork and tanks for custom bikes. You will probably want to kill me when you hear that all my products were made in carbon fiber or fiberglass, but hey I live in Africa and an English wheel is about as scarce as hen’s teeth. All that aside, I decided to only do parts for Sportsters as the aftermarket stuff is a little thin on the ground and dudes with Sportys are kinda neglected. I now produce three frame styles namely Chopper, bobber and pro street, and we can go as wide as a 300 tire on our Chopper and Pro street. Here’s the thing. I decided to manufacture everything here save for the wheels and obviously the motors. Now, a lot of guys build a good number of components but I have listed close to 100 parts that I first designed, welded, had laser cut, machined or molded. Herein lies the insanity. What was I thinking??? Man, this is one bitch of a project, and I have only one dude that assists and he’s a chef by trade. He’s my Gofer. Some nights I go to bed dirty or hungry or pissed off or all three. I have the three frames mocked up and am waiting for my machinist to finish milling the triple trees. Like an idiot I let some people see the mockups, and now added to the stress of producing enough parts for twenty bikes, I’m being pestered by a bunch of guys wanting their kits. The only saving grace is that I have a sponsor who has put up the finance, so that I can realize this dream. When the going gets tough I log on to your site and read the stories and look at the bikes. That is the Sanity. Your site is great and is my homepage. When I get these three ” Lil Ladies” on the floor I’ll mail you a few pics. Hey man, thanks from the bottom of my heart. — Mike Peter.

Always your servant, BIKERNET BONNEVILLE EFFORT, ASSALT WEAPAN PAINT SCHEME– I have a couple of ideas on paint. It’s really hard to explain and bounce ideas off each other by e-mail. I want this bike to look like a ghost bike riding out of a mirage in the distance. I want people to see the flashing of the flake thru the heat waves coming off the desert floor before they see the bike. I want them to hear it, then see the flashing of the flake before they can tell it’s a bike. I want it to hypnotize them. When you have time, give me a call so we can talk. 239-770-6024 –Jerry Continued On Page 4
