DAYTONA VOTES TO BUILD FENCE TO KEEP RIDERS IN THEIR CITY LIMITS–Daytona wants the Bikers to stay there as opposed to going to activities in other parts of Florida.Orlando, Deland, Cocco Beach and even South Florida have many motorcyclists going there.
Daytona was fairly busy on Monday and you could still get around fairly well.It was definitely leather weather but more that one scantily clad doll could be seen strolling Main Street.
Many loaded motorcycles were seen on I-95 heading south HUH!

COURTNEY HOLAWELL DOWN–The editor of Bike Works recently had a stroke and can no longer work. Primedia hired him to produce 15 magazines a month with no staff and part-time pay. They sent a New York attorney and two thugs to his garage everyday to threaten him. He finally cracked, and of course they won’t pay for any medical bills or any expenses.
So some brothers are getting together to auction off parts and raise money to help the brother out. The website hasn?t been completed yet, but if you?d like to donate you can contact Jason or Curt. So far here’s his list of supporters:

DANNY GRAY INTRODUCES THE BIGSEAT SYSTEM FOR HARLEYS– Today Danny Gray announced the nationwide availability of its all new BigSeat? seat system for the Harley Davidson? performance enthusiast. “We’ve developed a new modular seat platform tailored to a broad range of requirements,” says Danny Gray “and it is designed in a manner so that you can go from two-up long haul touring to solo cruising in about a minute.”
At the core of this system is the BigSeat itself. A solo seat with deep double buckets and positive contour, wide radius hip flair, aggressive leg passes and a narrow nose section- all combine to give the rider extraordinary lower back support, seat comfort and control.
The list of function specific components, such as pillion sizes, backrest options and a variety of insert technologies will continue to expand. Two aesthetic styles of BigSeat are offered through Drag Specialties and personalized seats with exotic leathers and hardware are offered directly through
BIKERNET READER DEVELOPES NEW FUEL TECHNOLOGY–The purpose/result of my visit was the following:I have been working on a technology wherein we could process coal to liquidfuels.I am please to share with you that we have perfected this technology withour pyrolysis system and created a world first.
In conjunction with New Hope Coal Corporation (Australian) we built ourpilot plant late 2005 at Long Beach and then proceeded to trial various coalsand develop our own catalyst (pending patent) with a result being a dieselfuel (ECO FUEL) which includes:
1. Low sulphur and virtually no aromatics. In a properly tuned enginethis leads to lower particle exhaust emissions
2. The absence of sulphur means that oxidation catalysts andparticulate traps will operate at maximum efficiency
3. The existing diesel infrastructure can be used, unchanged
4. Can be used in existing diesel engines
Our system does not produce any of the less desirable co-products from arefinery, and produces a pure CO2 stream that provides an option for thecapture and storage of CO2.
Our NOx and CO more than complies with SCAQMD emission regulations.
We are currently preparing our engineering drawings for the first of 5commercialized plants ($14 million each) which will process 25 tons of coalper hour. Our trials have shown that 25 tons of coal per hour will give us ayield of 9,000 plus litres per hour.
A formal press conference will be held later this month announcing oursuccess.
I will be making numerous visits to Longbeach this year so will make sure wecatch up. Maybe I might make it to the Old bike show.

TIN MAN REPORT ON DAYTONA–Well Bandit, it’s that time of year again here in sunny Florida where nothing shine’s people on like the media.
With Bike Week kicking, it’s time to run around the state and include every motorcycle accident in the “stats” for this event. Gotta pad them numbers somehow.
I cringe with every newscast knowing we all have to be made aware of the (trumped-up) fatalities. Last year for instance, four of the fatalities were from the day before Bike Week officially started and several others were locals nowhere near Daytona.
The Orlando Sentinal pisses me off the most. They run the same stupid fuckin’ story every day. The one where a “biker” was going a 166 m.p.h. the wrong way, hit a concrete pole, through a fence, then run over by a semi and killed instantly because (insert drum roll)–HE WASN’T WEARING A HELMET.
They continually feed this to the Sheep then take a poll on helmet laws. How fuckin’ stupid is everyone around here? I’ll tell you. 70% in favor of helmets at all times. idiotic fuckin’ Sheep without knowledge and no desire for the TRUTH.
By the way, to make sure no one was injured, all you had to do was click a button on your TV remote to vote.
Sorry if I took up valuable time but I’m so pissed after today’s news I had to tell someone who might give a shit.
