The sonuvabitch bitched out the web master this morning and drove one of the girls from the Headquarters. I was just stoppin’ by to have a beer and see if I couldn’t talk to Sin Wu a bit. She’s so damn fine. I don’t care if she is Bandit’s girl, just to whisper to her for a half hour makes my day.
Bandit’s all stirred up about his birthday and frustrated that he can’t lift weights due to a recent operation. So he’s throwing the women around. I’ll take care of the news, if I can have a beer. Then I’ll slip out the back door:

Gunny Legislative and Law News
Now this is something to cause an old fashioned feud. We are told a minor motorcycle crash in a village near Hanoi sparked a riot that involved over a thousand people from two villages. The thing lasted about three hours and it took the local gendarmes nearly an hour to bring the festivities to a halt. Nearly 17 people were hurt and 20 houses were damaged in the melee.
The guys behind the altercation were unhurt.
I don’t condone senseless violence, but at least it shows me that somewhere in the world motorcycles mean something to the public.
This is just a tidbit of the new Gunny Sac report from AIM. Check the Legislative news for more: info.http://www.bikernet.com/rights/
UPS sends inspectors.
Why Ain’t Women Inspectors?
I just wanted to share this insightful thought with you all…….. and please do not take this as being an outright attack on any gender! I didn’t write this but it sure does get ya thinking! LOL
Have you noticed anything fishy about the inspection teams who have arrived in Iraq? They’re all men!
How in the name of the United Nations does anyone expect men to find Saddam’s stash? We all know that men have a blind spot when it comes to finding things. For crying’ out loud! They can’t find the dirty clothes hamper. They can’t find the jar of jelly until it falls out of the cupboard and splatters on the floor…. and these are the people we have sent into Iraq to search for hidden weapons of mass destruction? They probably couldn’t find them if they were lying in the middle of a dusty street with a picture of Saddam aiming a rifle in the air taped on the side.
I keep wondering why groups of women weren’t sent in—preferably mothers After all, mothers know that their boys can’t find their socks or underwear when they’re neatly folded in their dresser drawers, so how could they be expected to find hidden biological weapons? On the other hand, mothers can

Take Sunday Off And Go Gambling Two bored casino dealers were waiting at a craps table when a very attractive blonde woman arrived and bet twenty-thousand dollars on a single roll of the dice. She said, “I hope you don’t mind, but I feel much luckier when I’m nude. With that, she stripped, rolled the dice and yelled, “Mama needs new clothes!”
Then she hollered…”YES! YES! I WON! I WON!” She jumped up and down and hugged each of the dealers. She then picked up all the money and clothes and quickly departed.
The dealers just stared at each other dumbfounded. Finally, one of them asked, “What did she roll?” The other answered, “Hell, I don’t know, I thought YOU were watching!”
Moral: Not all blondes are dumb, but all men are men.

Watch for the next segment to be launched whenever our esteemed Digital Gangster blesses us. Unless Bandit pissed him off. We’ll see. Can I have a beer, now? –Snake
Pets And Kids
A precious little girl walks into a pet shop and asks in the sweetest little lisp, “Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep widdle wabbits?”
As the shopkeeper’s heart melts, he gets down on his knees, so that he’s on her level, and asks, “Do you want a widdle white wabby or a thoft and fuwwy bwack wabby or maybe one like that cute widdle bwown wabby over there?”
She, in turn blushes, rocks on her heels, puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says in a quiet voice, “I don’t fink my pet python weally gives a thit.”

We have a section on the site where you can post images of your own bike and your story behind it. Write anything you want. Tell us how you built it or adventures you have with it. http://www.bikernet.com/cybercycles/
Below is a letter Bandit wrote to a guy who wanted to get into Bikernet. Hope he didn’t piss the guy off. Damn, I need a beer. –Snake
Thanks for the note about your FXR. They are a favorite around here. We’re building one now. Then I’m going to build a Pro Street Twin Cam FXR.
Why don’t you check the Readers Showcase area of the site. You can post your own story and photos. Crazy Horse will assist with any questions. That’s our Readers Ride area, but you get to tell your own story.
Ride Forever,
Bandit
I’m sending a couple pictures of my fxr as a possible feature bike. I have allot of pictures of the build process, and more of the finished bike, but it sounds like you only want one for now. It’s a pretty nice bike with quite a few one off parts. I built most of it i.e. fabricating and machining myself with the exception of paint. I also need to give credit to my buddies at Black Magic Customs for allot of advice, good deals and use of their mill and lathe.
Thanks,
Mark Fisher
Gimme a beer–Look, I brought my own sixer, and Sin took it away from me until I completed the damn news. They never have any beer around here, only Jack. Suppose that’s because I’d drink it all.
This’ll get him. The inside joke of the week. Ol’ Bandit’s road testing the bike above. He doesn’t want anyone to know, but screw the old fart. It’s a 1600 Kawasaki that he’s riding for Cruising Rider Magazine. I better get the hell out of here, before he finds out I scooped him.
Where’s Sin? Just to breath on her neck and find out what she did with my beer.
