STEALTH REPORT–It has been a real busy week. Final preparations for the opening of STEALTH BIKE WORKS. We are on schedule to open Tuesday(5-10-5). It has been a lot of hard work and some long days but it will all be worth the effort.
When you take on something of this nature, things come up everyday that you don’t think of but I guess that is half the fun. So far it has been a great adventure and we have not even opened yet. We have received a lot of well wishes from the local biker community. I would like to thank Brian from Georgia for the Dave Mann art book. We will put it on the counter for everyone to see!
Like I said, it has been a real busy week and I pressed for time so I have to cut it short.I am sure next week I will have a lot to talk about.
Before I close always remember; never give up on your dreams, no matter how big they are or how far off they seem because you never know when the opportunity will present itself to make them come true!
Until next week!

BIKERNET HOME-BUILD OF THE WEEK? Bandit, My husband Ed Gilman built a custom 1949 Panhead Chopper from the frame up in his garage. He built everything including but not limited to frame, front forks, all sheet metal, exhaust, caliper brackets, and pretty much everything in between. He has also done the sheet metal fabrication for a bike shop here in Columbus, OH for a motorcycle that took first place in Kansas City last year and he just finished a one- off from the ground up for the same shop which this bike took second place among ten of the best bike builders in America in the Heritage Rally in S. Carolina. Through all his time, dedication, and talent he has received no recognition…
He is trying to build another bike and possibly start his own business, but for right now I am just trying to get his name out there. I was wondering if you would be interested in putting a picture of his bike in a magazine. Please let me know what you think?
Thank you for you time and consideration.

THAT NEW FLORIDA SELF DEFENSE LAW– Florida Governor Jeb Bush has now signed the bill .. and the left ismightily upset. The bill? You know, that bill that actuallyrecognizes the basic human right of self defense. Simply put, thenew Florida law says that if find yourself under attack in a publicplace you don’t have to look for a way to run away before you respondwith deadly force.
Here’s your actual wording: In Florida a personnow has “the right to stand his or her ground and meet force withforce, including deadly force, if he or she reasonably believes it isnecessary to do so, to prevent death or great bodily harm to himselfor herself or another.”
What, pray tell, is the problem with that? You’re attacked. Youhave a reasonable belief that you are in danger of great harm ordeath, or someone else is in danger, and you get to protect yourselfwith deadly force. Imagine that! A basic human right is the rightof self defense. The very first governments formed by humankind weregovernments formed for one purpose … to act to defend the people.
But what about the opponents? Well, it’s the same old cast ofcharacters. The mainstream media and liberals … Democraticleftists. Democrats have a long history of opposing virtually anylaw that would allow a person to exercise their right to selfdefense. Most of you don’t remember this, but about 30 years ago Ted”The Slug” Kennedy came up with a law introducing a new FederalCriminal Code. His idea was to compel the 50 states to adopt thefederal code as their own. In that bill there was a retreatrequirement. If you woke up in the middle of the night and heardsomeone rummaging around your home, you would be required to leaveyour home to the intruder if there was any way you could escape. Youwere simply not allowed to protect your home and its contents if youhad the option to turn tail and run. Thankfully, Kennedy’s billfailed.
But why is it that Democrats always seem to oppose measures likethis? Because it’s all part of the standard Democratic/leftistmindset. It’s part of the war against individualism. It’s part ofbuilding reliance and dependence on government. A law like Florida’sactually reinforces the concept of individualism. It recognizes theindividual’s right to self defense; the individual’s right todominion over their own body, their own personal safety and their ownfuture. Don’t we realize that we’re supposed to depend on governmentto protect us? How dare we take that responsibility on ourselves?
To the liberal, it is the government that gives us, if it chooses todo so, the right to defend ourselves; and since our right toself-defense comes from the government, then it is the government’sright and responsibility to tell us just what we can and can’t do todefend our lives and our property.
Recognizing one’s right to self defense only serves to reinforce oursense of individuality. Remember, Democrats have flatly stated thatour nation is at war against individuality. Attacking the individualright of self defense is part and parcel of that war.
Oh .. and as for those hysterical leftists who will scream about the”Wild Wild West?” You need to know that there was less crime in theso-called Wild Wild West, where everyone carried a gun, then there isin almost any major urban area in America today.
