A MEMO FROM THE BIKERNET DENTAL LAB–A man goes to an oral surgeon to have a tooth pulled. The Dentist pulls out a freezing needle to give the man a shot.
‘No way! No needles! I hate needles,’ the patient said.
The Dentist starts to hook up the laughing gas and the man objects.
‘I can’t do the gas thing. The thought of having the Gas mask on is suffocating me!’
The Dentist then asks the patient if he has any objection to taking a pill.
‘No objection,’ the patient says. ‘I’m fine with pills.’
The Dentist then returns and says, ‘Here’s a Viagra tablet.’
The patient says, ‘Wow! I didn’t know Viagra worked as a pain killer!’
‘It doesn’t,’ said the Dentist, ‘but it will give you something to hold onto when I pull your tooth.’

BOURGET’S DRIFTER DEMO DAYS–BOURGET’S Bagger Group, Inc., the company set up by Roger Bourget to build production Baggers, will be holding Demo Days on June 19 and 20 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Those attending the event will be able to ride the new Drifter Bagger and see the prototype Entourage. Factory tours and the opportunity to meet Roger Bourget will also be available.
The Drifter is a custom production Bagger which uses an S&S X-Wedge engine and matching six-speed transmission. The bike is 50-state legal and is currently undergoing testing to assure it is also legal in Canada.
Talking about the concept for the Drifter, Roger Bourget said: “I’ve got the Chopper thing done well and decided that I didn’t want to be like everyone else and simply convert a Chopper into a Bagger. We’ve been working on this for two years, and over the past six months we’ve had regular Bagger riders out on prototype Drifters so that we can get the ride totally dialed-in.”
To ensure the ride of the Drifter is the best it can be, the motor is rubber mounted and the suspension has been developed with the help of former off-road racer Walker Evans.
Dealers stocking the Drifter will have the option of 10 paint finishes and three billet wheel styles. In addition, because of the bike’s modular design, dealers can buy a base model Drifter and offer upgrades to meet their customers’ budgets. A complete parts line will be offered within six months, and will include hard bags, fairing options, chin spoilers and a tour pack.
Anyone interested in attending the Demo Days should contact Brigitte Bourget (brigitte@bourgets.com).

BIKERNET TECH QUESTION OF THE WEEK– I recently purchased a 21 inch front wheel. I run the valve off my rear brake that works the rear and left side rotor. The hand control works the right rotor. I would like to remove the right rotor and still be able to use the hand control. Was trying to figure a way to run both master cylinders on one line.

That?s an interesting configuration. So you had one rear and one front on one system, and the other front controlled by the lever on the bars? Have I got that right? So now you want to be able to operate the front and rear with either the handlebar control or the foot pedal? Good question. I?m afraid that without a check valve it wouldn?t work. See if you can find a check valve. If not you?ll push fluid into the other master cylinder. I?ll check with my readers.

Not bad.
JOHNNY HUMBLE HAS THE BIKER BLUES–Why is it so much more fun to ride like an asshole than it is to drive normal? Maybe it’s just me. I woke up this am, started working on the Kilby Deuce feature, and decided to go for a ride. Being it was 5:30 am, I started slow leaving the neighborhood, but before I knew it, I was twisting the throttle hard and grabbing for clutch as I hammered through the gears. I made my rounds by each one of my friends’ houses, as they were all getting the last bit of sleep possible, before they had to start the grind.
