Hey,
I’m innocent, I tell ya. I’m working every night on the sleek Daytec Blue Flame. I try to squeeze in a workout every other day. The joints to hit along the way to the wayward badlands are lined up and Markus came out to memorialize the bike with his photographic talents. Sometime, during the next week, you’ll be able to see the Joker Machine Blue Flame perched alongside the bristling L.A. Harbor in all its glory. It’s got 300 miles on it and it’s running fine. That’s two bikes built in three months, but do I get any slack? Not a fuckin’ bit.
Even though the pressure’s up on all fronts I just had to drop everything as the dark haired beauty strolled into the shed last night. She was seeking solace from the trials of her two job, 3-kid life, and I had the answer. I fixed her a drink as she flowed onto the couch like butter over steaming pancakes, her dark hair glistening as it cascaded over her slender shoulders. She moves around my pad like a dense fog engulfs the harbor at night, but there’s a hidden agenda. She hates men, and will not commit. Which is alright with me. Her husband of 15 years abused her and destroyed her life. She’s like making love to a female serial killer, I’m never sure when she might pull a knife and take my wind. Yet, there’s a warmth in her gaze, a soft-spoken caring nature and a nasty appetite for lust. I noticed for the first time last night as I listened to her hectic day’s activities, that everything I suggested, she disagreed with. Finally, my patience shredded, I said, “Are you going to disagree with every goddamn thing I say?” I was aching to tell her that Sin Wu never disagrees with anything, but I’m sure that would have cooked my goose forever. The mistress of darkness got to her feet slowly, took my hand and said, “I’m sorry, baby. Bad day.”I shrugged, took a slug of Jack and set the glass back on the table.”I know something we always agree on,” she said and tugged on my arm, and I got to my feet. We better get to the news. I’ve got less than 24 hours left.
SONNY’S BOOK REPORT–Just got done with Sonny Barger’s new book and it was great. When are you going to do your own story? It would sell. I have never met Sonny, but I know a few Angels. In your travels I’m sure you have met him, if so, what’s he like? –Coach
Depends on the mood he’s in at the time. As far as a book about me, forget it. The statute of limitations isn’t up just yet.
STURGIS REPORT FROM BOB ILLINGWORTH–Expect a crowd of 600,000-800,000 bikers this year. The following information might be helpful in planning your trip.

PS: Harley Davidson will not be marketing Beer with the Harley logo this year or as we were told. Has something to do with image. So hang on to your 99 Harley beer, it might just be worth something in the future.
BOB’S NOT DONE YET–Deadwood has announced that it will allow bikers to park on Main Street for two of the rally days. Parking will be allowed on the west side of the street on August 11 (Friday) and August 12 (Saturday) from 1pm to 2am. My guess is that if there are no problems this year, the future years could bring back full parking for bikers on Main Street in Deadwood.
Asphalt Cowboy Update– I mentioned that an option deal has been signed to produce the biker flick Asphalt Cowboy written by ex-pro football player Conrad Goodie. The story is based on one my book outlines about a bunch of freaks who ride cross-country annually. They live for the ride, the adventure and not much of anything else. The story is based on a handful of guys I knew in the early ’70s in Long Beach. Many of ’em are dead now. Some didn’t make it to the end of the run.If you wander into the movie projects section of Bikernet, you’ll see that we’re recruiting players for the movie. Below are a couple who think that they should get their shot on the silver screen. What do you think?
PICK ON WOMEN DAY ** (Every man’s struggle in vain…)I married Miss Right. I just didn’t know her first namewas Always.
Marriage is a 3-ring circus: Engagement ring, weddingring, and suffering.
The last fight was my fault. My wife asked, “What’s onthe TV?” I said, “Dust!”
In the beginning, God created earth and rested. Then Godcreated man and rested. Then God created woman. Sincethen, neither God nor man has rested.
Why do men die before their wives? They want to!
STURGIS BILLBOARDS AND SHIT– Sure, I’ve shared this masterful Jon Towle originality with you before, but there’s more. I will be packin’ Bikernet stickers from the evil mind of Jon Towle. In addition we’ll have patches for sale, so we can afford enough gas to keep riding once we get there. Also, the agent and I will be carrying ballots and collecting votes on our bikes. This is a life and death situation. If he wins, I’ll feel like shit, since I built his bike with Nuutboy, who couldn’t handle the extreme Bikernet deadlines and escaped with 30 college co-eds to Ireland, Wrench, and the assistance of Custom Chrome, Baker and Eddie Trotta at Thunder Designs in Fort Lauderdale. If I win, all will be well with the world of biking forever more. I will feel vindicated and proud to climb to the craggy pinnacle of the Devil’s Tower and shout for all the world to listen, “Let’s Ride, We’re Burnin’ Daylight.”
MO’ ON STURGIS– Excelsior-Henderson wants to invite all of you to visit with them at the upcoming Sturgis Rally. The Road Crew and Demo team will be set up at their customary spot at the Days Inn, off I-90 at exit 30, the second Sturgis exit coming from Rapid City.
Included in the events is a factory group ride from Belle Plaine to Sturgis, leaving on Friday, August 4th and arriving at the rally on Saturday afternoon.
Demo rides will start on Monday, August 7th and run through Saturday, August 12th, during the hours of 9am-4pm. The fleet will be complete with Super X’s and Deadwood’s, along with some of the factory accessories and special paint that is offered on many models.
Also on display will be their newest model, code-named the American X. Don’t miss the action
BONNEVILLE SALT REPORT–We just got back from the salt. As I mentioned earlier, Rick Vescowanted to go out to Wendover to see about picking out a course forWorld Finals.
At the far end, you may have seen an old log (telephone pole) down11 miles or so. In the vicinity of the old weathered log, there is anold rusted out barrel, barely visible in the salt. This barrel useto mark the END of the international course. When we dragged thecourse years ago, there was an old dead sheep here. We always said to”turn around when you get to the dead sheep”.
This vicinity was our starting point. From here we drove back towardsWendover and found most all the salt was quite smooth & white. Therebeing only one or two short rough spots. As we got to the end of theaccess road, the area where all the traffic drives, it is definitelyrougher, but Rick felt this could be smoothed out with the drag. Wedrove back and forth from the freeway to floating mountain trying tosee if any one area would be better than another. The overcast skyallowed us to see and the mirage was kept at a minimum.Last year, when you approached the end of the dike, the salt felt likeyou were driving over cobblestones. Well, it is all healed, andsmooth. As smooth as the salt is, you wouldn’t know you were drivingover thesame area.–Cris
GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT LIFE THAT LITTLE CHILDRENHAVE LEARNED–
1) No matter how hard you try, you can’t baptize cats.
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don’t let her brush your hair.
3) Never ask your 3 year old brother to hold a tomato.
4) You can’t trust dogs to watch your food.
DRAG RACING UPDATE–Jim McClure qualified # 1 at the Atlanta Nitro Classic ADBA Nationals. But severe weather took away his chance to get even with the track that put him in the hospital for 23 days three years ago when his nitromethane powered engine exploded.
McClure ran in the 6’s each pass at the Atlanta Dragway, Commerce, Ga. qualifyng #1 with a 6.863 and taking top qualifying speed with a 207.40 mph. McClure cut his ET to 6.75 in round one defeating Sam White, Columbia, SC.
McClure maintained tremendous consistency running within a 1/10 of a second and over 203 on each pass with a top speed of 210.31 mph. In round 2, a 6.765 ET defeated Stan Verheijen of Holland.
But when it was time for the finals against Canadian Warren Hill, ol’ Mother Nature had other ideas. Several tornadoes touched down near the track and the event was called prior to the finals.
July 28 Apehangers Bar & Grill 5:30-8:30 Budds Creek, Md.
July 29-30 AHDRA Budds Creek, Md.
McClure is supported on his national tour by Rivera Engineering, Primo Products, Red Line Synthetic Oil, ACCEL, Hampton Roads HD, Southside HD, F & S HD, S & S Cycle, Inc, Performance Machine, Axtell, Autolite & Vanson Leathers. –www.jimmcclureracing.com
BROTHERS REPORT–Presently in Wis. loading up the camper to take the kids out to Colorado for a couple weeks. Then it will be a return trip to drop them off at home before I head back to South Dakota for the rally.
Looking forward to Sturgis. It has been 7 years since I last went. Time kinda gets away from a guy when he is busy with working and kids. I’m 47 years old at this point. The master plan is to pull a Bandit at age 50 and take early retirement. Find a farmhouse here in Wis. watch the grass and the kids grow and spend more timeriding and pursuing self-interests.
Will be keeping an eye out for you and Agent Z. If younotice a red DYNA pull alongside ya with LA plates it’syours truly. Enjoy your ride out.–Anson
RUMOR HAS IT–THIS IS THE TRUTH–When Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon, he made the “One Small Step”comment that has gone down in the annals of famous quotes. He also followedthat comment with a much lesser known quote “Good Luck Mr. Gorsky.” Thiscomment confused everyone at the space center in Houston, after checkingboth the Russian and American space programs, no Mr. Gorsky could be found.
Upon Neil’s return he was questioned about Mr. Gorsky, Neil only smiled andsaid nothing. For years, every time he was questioned Neil only smiled.Finally, in 1995 at a news conference somewhere in Florida, he was againasked about the mysterious Mr. Gorsky. Neil smiled and explained that Mr.Gorsky had died and proceeded to give his explanation.
It seems that as a child Neil’s family lived next door to the Gorsky family,one day when Neil was playing outside, Neil overheard an angry Mrs. Gorskybellow, “Yea, you’ll get a blow-job when that kid next door walks on theMoon.”–E.J.

READER COMMENT–Homie made early Evo, with Santee frame, and the dog probably eats better than you! He was panting from the heat. He lives in the desert of Arizona. But if it makes you feel better I’ll throw him an extra dog bone today!Ride free, don’t sweat the petty stuff, pet the sweaty stuff!–Mobile 2000
CORAL’S WATCHING– Saw you at the Bike Show on Sunday, who were your friends???Sin and I went to Harold’s last night for the 9-Ball tourney and she had alittle too much to drink, so I took a chance. We were playing on the back table and I keptbrushing my tits against her. I was so frisky that a couple of the guysstarted making comments and thanking us for the show. I like testing the water with her–she is responding nicely. She was wearing these little shorts and every time she leaned over to shoot,you could see that part where leg turns to, well, she was really cute.
She’s so shy, so breaking her in might take some time. How long have you known her anyway? Tonight we’re having a slumberparty and watching old romantic movies. I suggested she invite you, but shesaid something about breaking in your bike. Do you guys really just dolunch?
Do you have different girls for lunch and dinner? I could bebreakfast! Another thing to think about, oh, I never did get my answerfrom last week, handcuffs could be fun.–Coral
WHY MEN CAN’T WIN–If you work too hard, there is never any time for her. If you don’t work enough, you’re agood-for-nothing bum.
If she has a boring repetitive job with lowpay, it’s exploitation. If you have a boring repetitive job with lowpay, you should get off your butt and find something better.
If you get a promotion ahead of her,it’s favoritism. If she gets a raise ahead of you, it’sequal opportunity (or she’s blowing the boss).
BIKERNET BABE CORRESPONDENT STURGIS REPORT– Working on getting a sponsored Confederate Hellcat for my ridewestward. Matt and I are trying to figure out how I can carry gear. I’mthinking Chase & Harper bags which are totally removable. I won’t have achase van with me. I was going to be riding with an NYC bunch but theybailed so I’m going it alone ’til Indiana when I’ll meet up with the SteelDreams TV guys who will film me. Cool.
Woman Rider does not want to do astory on my ride. I said to the editor, now what woman would jump on one ofthe hottest bikes on the marketplace and ride from New York City to Sturgisto show off the iron? Not too many ladies would lather up the chance. Ifind it hard to believe that a woman’s motorcycle magazine would not beinterested in such a unique story. Maybe I’m being too full of my idea?That’s okay, I guess. I’ll calm down, then again maybe I won’t.
Penthouse is 20 million eyeballs per month on that site. I’m in charge ofthe links and all things related to that Sturgis piece. It’s not about thenudity, it’s the allure of a hot bike and pretty ladies who ride their own.
American Iron and American Rider have other ideas for the Confederate. Ipitched Frank at Hot Rod Bikes and Mitch at Motorcyclist–haven’t heard. Iwould like some kind of motorcycle coverage besides the Steel Dreams TV.-Sasha, Bikernet correspondent from the Big Apple.
CH-SHSHSH, CH-SHSHSH… DO YOU HEAR THAT?– Listen, real close………..there. There it is again.
Hear that? Know what that is? That’s the road calling you, dude. Yes, you. Remember? You and the road. You and your scoot, thundering down the highway. Mountains on one side, open desert on the other. Small towns here and there, barely hanging on to existance. One pump gas stations, with only 87 octane. Ancient little greasy spoon diners that serve up chicken fried steak and berry pies, at counters with those round seats that spin, covered with cracked yellow vinyl.
Mini-marts that never heard of Sierra-Nevada Pale Ale. Little local bars, with beer soaked wooden floors and carved up tables, nicotine an inch thick on the walls, French tickler condom machines in the bathroom, and a 50-cent pool tables. And all the house sticks are crooked as hell, of course.
Rest stops with old Pontiac sedans, filled to the gills with Mexican kids. Teenagers in front of 7-11s that come up and talk to you about your scoot. The red and orange glow of the sunset on the desert sky, stars starting to peek out, clouds glowing like fire. Two-mile long freight trains that you see in the distance, and make you think of the song “Orange Blossom Special”. That clickety-clack freight train beat echoing in your head, making you slowly and unconsiously open the throttle more, til you’re going 90mph.
NOW do you hear it?
Yeah, that’s that highway song a-callin’, and it’s a-callin’ YOU. It wants you to jump on that bad motorscooter and pedal your sorry ass out of California and see what the rest of this country is about before you get too old to enjoy it!–TigerButt ’98 Softail
BLONDE STORY OF ALL TIME– Here’s a blonde story to end all blonde stories! A True Story…if she had killed herself-God forbid-she’d be a shoo-in for the Darwin Award.
Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour east of Bakersfield, California, a blonde (of course!!), new to boating was having a problem. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t get her brand new 22-ft. Bayliner to perform. It wouldn’t plane at all, and it was very sluggish in almost every maneuver, no matter how much power she applied.
After about an hour of trying to make it go, she putted over to a nearby marina. Maybe they could tell her what was wrong. A thorough topside check revealed everything was in perfect working order. The engine ran fine, the outdrive went up and down, the prop was the correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water to check underneath only to come up choking on water, he was laughing so hard.
REMEMBER, this is TRUE. Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was the trailer. –LWATTERS
LEARN MIKUNI CARBS– check out www.siue.edu/~rsutton/SR/mikuni.htm This guy has done the job right for one of the Mikuni carbs. –Rick Bates
AND NOW FROM OUR FREAKY CORRESPONDENT IN IRELAND–Last weekend I stumbled around Galway, the biggest little party town in Ireland. Every pub was aroar with jabbering tourists and fiddling and piping musicians. All the main streets (there are three) were packed with young tourists form all over Europe aching to party and puke. The rutting smell of musk & testosterone was rank in the air. Zeke the Splooty would be right at home here.
In my stumbling around I ran into Barry Ryan, an ‘older’ Irish H-D biker who has been riding since he was a kid. Ryan looked like the hard-bitten, straight talking kind of ‘old-time’ biker who wouldn’t take any shit off of anybody. He was ridding an ’86 FLH “chopped down” H-D. He said he had broken with Harley Riders Ireland in ’93 and now ran with the Tramps out of Limmerick. His view of the hog scene in Ireland was that there were plenty of riders with traditional heart who were not part of the “fuckin’ up-scale market bullshit.” Like I said Ryan is a straight talking biker.Unfortunately, I didn’t have more time to shoot the shit with him, but he said he could be contacted at HRI.COM or harleyriderireland.com Any of these guys would appreciate information about Harely-Davidson… parts, products, general information, etc.
That’s it. I’ve got to find me a green eyed, red haired, full breasted colleen to help me get a grin out of Guiness.

NO COMPLAINTS, BUT–no complaints about your site, it’s awesome. You remember that Towle illustration in the “news” section last week of the biker holding the two screaming rugrats(god love ’em)? Well bro, that’s gonna be me very soon. That is why my scoot, ’98 Springer Softail, is in your classifieds. Surely somebody out there has a need for a lowered Springer with 15″ Apes. If I sell it soon, I hope I can get started on my own version of a homebuilt rigid chop, the only way to go I now realize. I can’t offer much, but a bottle of Jack will be on its way to Bikernet headquarters if it sells.

Blisters will be a thing of the past–Chris VanSant, Blackwood, NJ.
So the bees are killing your campsite party. Put a few cups full of beer about 30 yards away in strategic locations. Bees are attracted to the sugar. If you’re lucky, they’ll drown themselves in it before you do–Tom Carrey, Morris Plains, NJ.
Caught in a Wyoming thunderstorm? To keep the inside of your tent dry, dig a channel six inches deep and wide all around it. Use the excess dirt to build a channel running downhill, away from your tent. Then jump inside, go to sleep, and dream or hell, don’t dream, drag her inside with you–Jennifer Scott, Broomfield, CO.
THAT’S IT–With less that 24 hours to go and lunch time fast approaching there’s a soft sorta hushed knock on the door. It’s Sin wearing a painted-on bikini and a beach towel wrapped around those heavenly hips. She’s tanned to a rich golden coffee color which makes her look as healthy and fit as a marathon runner, although her sizeable overflowing chest would hinder her ability to compete. Sin hasn’t a competitive bone in her body. She’s tall but seems to walk on air. She comes bearing lunch and cold beers and talk of this girl she met at the beach again, Coral. I listen intently as I reach under the table and stroke her soft thighs gently. Then it hits me that I have a speedometer to install, and the cable I have has the wrong fuckin’ fittings. I yanked her to her feet, “No time to lose, baby. I’ve got to get to the shop down the street for a part.””No problem, honey,” She purrs. “I’ll come back tomorrow.””Tomorrow I’ll be on the road, babe. The shop will be open for few more hours. We’ve got time.”Her suddenly sad eyes brightened like the flood lights on the cranes over the harbor when the sun dips behind the Palos Verdes Pennisula. She pressed her chest against mine. I took a step backwards…To Sturgis or to hell, let’s ride–Bandit.
