Hey,
Hang on for this news. Each week it grows and kicks our butts all over the Intergalactic Headquarters. Last night while I hung out in the Wilshire District of LA with Dr. Hamster and a couple of hundred theatrical agents and stars with a handful of Harley execs and the new model line-up, somewhere in the sky was a solstice moon, indicating the emerging summer.
Paul James pulled me aside and said, “You can’t release anything you see here until July 22.” I dropped my super secret, thumbnail camera and we wrestled for it in the only narrow strip of grass in all of Avenue of the Stars. Watch for a new wild Sportster and a tough street fighting V-Rod to hit the streets for 2009. That’s all I can say. Let’s hit the news:

The big news is this year?s Smoke Out is BYOB. Tired of the high price of beer at some other events? Bring your own (but the law limits you to no more than 7 cases per vehicle).
The Smoke Out has always been known for great music. We have lined up the scariest band in rock n roll? with Deadbolt to play on Saturday. We have the Belmont Playboys headlining Friday night. We also have Alowisious Farhatt, The Straight 8?s and Kelly and the Cowboys. We have the Lucky Daredevil Thrillshow and roller derby girls to battle it. Sunday only will be a swap meet open for anyone with a wristband to set-up or shop.
Sponsors are Sucker Punch Sallys, BIKERNET.COM, Torian Chopper Leathers, and Baker Drivetrain.
Meager cost is $35 per person, which is good for all three days or we have a Saturday only pass for $ 30. No one under 18 is allowed on the grounds for any reason. We encourage anyone interested in choppers to attend. It does not matter if you arrive on a stock Honda or in a minivan, absolutely, join us.
Take exit # 180 off Interstate 40 and go north on 801 for six miles? you will run right into it? or follow your fellow chopper freaks to the Farmington dragstrip.
Smoke Outs aren?t your normal biker parties. This is the one event that the focus is the home-bike-builder. Go to the website and see for yourself the best three days the East Coast offers. http://www.smokeoutrally.com/
See you there!
Peace out!
