HOT BIKE MAGAZINE STURGIS NIGHT– On Wednesday, Aug. 9, 2006, Hot Bike Magazine, Street Chopper Magazine and Hot Rod’s Bike-Works Magazine will celebrate the First Annual Hot Bike Night at the Legendary Buffalo Chip Campground during the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Hot Bike Night, co-sponsored by Viper Motorcycles will be hosting a party for those that work within the Motor Cycle Industry and also invite the public to join in by bringing your Hot Bike out to the “Chip” for a photo with the Hawaiian Tropic Girls and the Miller Lite “Miss Buffalo Chip Model”, In addition to the Hot Bike Magazine event, concerts by Kid Rock and Blue Oyster Cult will ensure a memorable evening for all!
Hot Bike, Street Chopper and Hot Rod’s Bike-Works Magazines are kicking off Sturgis 2006 with this party at the Chip to celebrate the motorcycle industry and the Chip’s 25 years as its “Best Party Anywhere!” The Chip has been the premiere entertainment venue serving the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally since 1982. Buffalo Chip owner, Rod Woodruff, said he is pleased with the venue’s new association with Hot Bike, Street Chopper and Hot Rod’s Bike-Works Magazines as they are leaders in motorcycle enthusiast publications.
All those attending the party will top off the evening by enjoying the concerts by Kid Rock and Blue Oyster Cult. American Bad Ass, Kid Rock is “a biker and a quintessential entertainer with broad appeal across every style of music. Known around the world as one of the most electrifying live performers, Rock’s recently released “Live” Trucker garnered glowing reviews.
For the last 30 plus years, Blue Oyster Cult has been following their own unique path. Their motto “On Tour Forever” still holds, as the band plays more than 100 dates annually. Fans know the band sounds better than ever. With hits like “Don’t Fear The Reaper,” and “I’m Burnin’ For You,” their musical maturity and skill, combined with more than three decades of playing together makes BÖC a prime example of rock and roll at its best.

AMERICAN BIKER PARTY ROARED INTO POLITICAL ARENA–The Wisconsin-based third party is not shy about its origins: five bikers fed up with the way the government operates. Its membership includes doctors and other professionals, and people who steer clear of motorcycles.
Party leaders want voters to have a say in politics and have the government operate based on the ideals set forth by the country’s founding fathers in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.
“I always voted, but when I went to the polls, I didn’t have a lot of excitement or hope,” said member Pete Schultz, 40, of Marshfield. “This is an idea that is going to catch on.”
The party was co-founded this year by Steven “Mad” Erato, but the Vietnam War veteran said he had considered the new political party for years. Erato said he was disgusted by the poor quality of health insurance provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and cuts to the program in recent years.
Erato, 55, of Neenah served in Vietnam for the U.S. Army from 1971 to 72. He said he is listed as 100 percent disabled because of post-traumatic stress disorder.
“The guys in the Gulf War, they are people who had jobs and family already,” Erato said. “If they have a family and worked at the average factory or mill, they will find the (Veterans Health Administration) insurance is much worse than when they had a job.”
The party’s platform, developed at its convention earlier this month, is: affordable health care for everyone; the restoration of civil liberties by ending the Patriot Act; improved employment for Americans; providing strong support and funding to the military; and supporting the Bill of Rights as it was written, not as interpreted by the courts.
The American Biker Party does not plan to run candidates for office in the near future, but rather to support existing politicians or challengers. The party is interviewing local, state and national political candidates to see who best supports the party’s initiatives.

THE JOHN REED PHILOSOPHY CLASS–A financially successful designer can anticipate the future trends, but have the discipline to work in a fashion time scale which gets the best financial returns.
There is a trend Ror racy type bikes, ie. Jesse Rook and Rowland Sands. I figured out why I am poor, I think I was a little bit early.
Bike built by me about 1984.

JERRY MAGNUSON REPORT–As for the “story notion,” I think Jerry Magnuson won one of the bike awards at the Queen Mary show. I know it was a supercharger guy because I spoke with him. Have to find my notes. He sold the company to B&M. Then Eaton got involved. There’s also a Magnuson Products that sells blower.
I also found a 1995 article about a Magnuson blower and guess what? It was for the ’94 T-Bird I own. And boy it needs a blower. Get me one and I’ll write the story, okay?
WE?RE ROLLING–We?ve packed some, charged our digital camera batteries, grabbed a note book for the Sturgis story and started packing tools. The list is a page long and getting longer. The King tanks are full, we checked the oil in the 2003 and took a lesson on operating the 2007 King stereo with XM. There was some discussion about removing the windshield from the new bike, but we decided to run one with the shield and the other without.
I?ll pack one of my bedrolls for the front of the blacked-out King and strap on my workout shoes from some wind block. Actually works like a champ.
If you?re going, we wish you all the best roads and weather. We also hope it will be a helluva adventure packed with terrific rides, slipping along the asphalt like a pilot skimming close to the earth, totally free and fearless. We hope the best looking, best natured girls meet you in every town and assure you that love is just around the corner. In other works have a helluva good time.
Ride Forever,
–Bandit
