CYRIL HUZE UPDATE–Last Monday, a guy from San Mateo called to have a bike built. He’s interested in?Expresso, but wants some modifications like turn signals, possibility of passenger pegs, etc…I stopped the molding and paint preparation in case we have to drill holes, etc…He was supposed to?be in Florida this Monday, but yesterday called to postpone one week.?Waiting also for a down payment.

So, I freeze everything for one?more?week. With or without him, I will finish the bike, but it’s going to be two weeks, at least, without any update.

CALL FOR ASSISTANCE– Earlier this year, Remeo Carano and his 12-year-old daughter, Jessica, were struck broadside by a pickup that “didn’t see them” while on Remeo’s Harley. Remeo sustained severe injuries and lost his leg above the knee and Jessica was in a coma. She eventually regained consciousness, but remains partially paralyzed from the accident.

Remeo was a North Port, Fla., fireman who spent his career helping others, and like the true fighter he is, has not let his misfortune hold him back. He is currently working on getting his instructor’s license so he can teach future fire/rescue team members.

My name is J.J., and last year I organized an event called NOODLEFEST at Chubbyz Bar in Port Charlotte, Fla., with owner Danny Lutinski to raise money for the family of our fallen brother, James “CHEECO” Bishop. With the help of many local and national contributing sponsors, we raised over $7,000 for Cheeco’s wife and two children.

I am hoping we can turn this event into a greater success for Remeo and Jessica with your help! Any items you can donate for our auction and raffle from gift certificates, t-shirts, parts, or whatever will be greatly appreciated. All proceeds from the event go right to Remeo and Jessica, including the bar take for the day, and all entertainment is donated as well. THIS IS NOT A MONEY MAKING EVENT!!! THIS IS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT!

Donated items can be mailed to:
J.J. Armstrong
26358 Tobago Dr.
Punta Gorda, FL 33983

ALL TAX DONATION FORMS WILL BE PROMPTLY SIGNED AND RETURNED LIKE LAST YEAR, AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RESERVE VENDOR?OR DISPLAY SPACE, OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, YOU CAN EMAIL ME AT JENNJOEL92@MSN.COM OR CALL 941.766.1531 AFTER?7:30 PM EASTERN TIME.

The next project is his second book with the same co-authors, Keith and Kent Zimmerman. They are already fired up and putting together a great collection of biker tales, and our thanks go out to those who have contributed stories. “Ridin’ High, Livin’ Free” will be about clubs and independent riders of both sexes, showing the rich and complex culture that has been misundertood by the general public and press for decades. Those who have experienced it will be proud, and those who have not will be enlightened. It will be published by HarperCollins in 2002.

GORILLA REMOVER–A couple of days after a gorilla escaped from the zoo, a man wakes up onemorning to find the gorilla on his roof. So he calls the zoo and they send azookeeper over. The zookeeper arrives, and gets out of his van. He’s got aladder, a baseball bat, a shotgun, a big bunch of bananas, and a mean oldpit bull. “What are you going to do”, the homeowner asks?

“First, I’m gonna throw this bunch of bananas on the roof. While the gorillais distracted eating the bananas, I’m going to put this ladder up againstthe roof, then I’m going to go up there and knock the gorilla off the roofwith this baseball bat. When thegorilla falls off, the pit bull is trained to grab his testicles and not letgo. The gorilla will then be subdued enough for me to put him in the cage inthe back of the van.”

So the guy throws the bananas on the roof. Sure enough, the gorillainstantly starts munching and doesn’t pay any attention to the zookeeper ashe puts the ladder up, gets the bat and the shotgun and walks towards theladder. As he gets to the bottom of the ladder, he hands the shotgun to thehomeowner.

“What’s the shotgun for?” asks the homeowner.

“If the gorilla knocks me off the roof, shoot the dog!”

DUCK OUT–As bikers we’re all wanderers, roaming roads all over the world, facing the elements like no other vehicle. It’s treacherous, but we love it. Sailors are the same in many respects, but watch out. Once you leave the harbor, there are no bar stops unless the toothless Captain decides to pull into port.

Bob’s been trying to get me to sail around the world with him for years. We’ve been through the Tahitian islands together, through the Panama Canal and from Cabo to Puerta Vallarta, but to this day he reminds me of the days when we discussed 6 months at sea. I couldn’t go. There were the girls back home, all the magazines I had to look after, the runs to Sturgis, the bikes to build and books to write.

Something’s happened to alter all that, and of course there’s a woman involved, a ship, a constant Internet connection and a dark challenge. I’ll keep you informed.

In the meantime, we ride “like the feds are after us.” –Bandit
