THE BIKERNET SEARCH FOR OLD MEMORBILIA AND BIKES CONTINUES–Our growing archive of rare memorbilia continues to grow in Bandit’s Cantina due predominately to the efforts of a biker Bandit rode with in the early ’70s who live in a rusting ’59 Cadillac deep in the California desert. He spends all his time and money searching garage sales, estate sales and swap meets hunting for old motorcycle memorabilia and Peashooter parts for our latest restoration project.
Bob rides a Softail and makes a meager living herding tarantulas away from tourist RV parks. Not much coin in that gig. Here’s what he said about the above piece, “It had Signal Corps – U. S. ARMY – No. 35 – printed on the Motorcycle’s Cover Plate. Send me a fifty pound bag of Pinto beans and a bag or red onions, will ya?”
OZARK ED REPORT–just like i said, I didn’t go to Memphis. However, I did give in to the juvee girl and agreed to go out with her Saturday night. She called me and talked me into skipping the party, So I told the ones going to the party that I wasn’t coming, and I told the ones who were not going that I was.
It got real hairy for a while just before I left the house because my girl was still pissed at me about the whole ditching her thing. She was asking me all this shit about who I was going with and all. I told her I was going with skitzo, but just before I left he called and wanted me to go to another party with him. I had to talk low and make up some shit about going out with my boss man. Right after I hung the phone up with him, bald headed Patrick came over with his fluffy chick and wanted me and my girl to go riding.
I took him outside and told him some shit about my bike battery being dead, and I couldn’t run a headlight because it wasn’t charging. Then after they left, my girl saw me tie two jackets on the bike and she threw a fit about who the second jacket was for. I made up some shit about wearing the small one under my big one. She didn’t believe it, but she let it go after she confiscated the second jacket.
I finally made it out and me and juvee girl went to the lake and got unbelievably drunk. I took her on a tour of all my little burn locations. Most are up in the hills looking down on the city and river. It was a clear cold night so I would drink a little then get that cold night air in my face to sober up for the next spot. I finally went home at 2 or 3.
Sunday my girl was cold to me so I worked on my Shovel in the shop while the race was on and just stayed clear of her. Later she asked how was the party, and I told her I didn’t make it to the one where she knew people, but instead I went to another party with people she’s only heard of. She called me on the story, and after a few hours I told her that no matter if she believed me or not I was sticking to this story. She knows it ain’t true, but she’s stopped asking. If I could just get the two of them to “like each other”.

Ain’t that always the problem.
NEW 100TH ANNIVERSARY V-ROD HAT–Hello Mr. Bandit,I’m sending you a picture of Mike taken this weekend at the CBA swap meet in Charlotte. Who said the V-Rod wouldn’t come in handy some day!!!
Love and kisses,

BIKE THEIVES SELECT WRONG SCOOTER– Harleys aren’t the only bikes to get ripped off. The irony here is a couple ona world bike tour for charity had their “Beemer” snatched just a few miles fromcompletion of their journey around the world. They stopped for a breather in Wales, justshort of London. They hadda finish the trip by train. I guess the thief or thievesneeded the scoot more than they did. It’s a bloody shame we have some kinds of peoplerunnin’ loose.

WARLOCKS MC SUE PHILLY POLICE–By MARYCLAIRE DALE The Associated Press.PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Members of the Warlocks Motorcycle Club are suing the police for allegedly barring the club at a benefit rally in which bikers delivered toys to a children’s hospital.
According to the lawsuit, SWAT team members toting M-16 rifles and canisters of Mace surrounded the Warlock riders Nov. 3, demanding they take off their jackets, which sport their club’s colors.
The suit, filed by members of the Philadelphia chapter of the motorcycle club, also charges that police commissioner Sylvester Johnson arrived at the rally and told his men to have the Warlocks removed.
The agreement was forged during a brief conference before U.S. District Judge Stewart Dalzell on Thursday, when the Warlocks asked for a temporary restraining order. The city agreed not to interfere with any law-abiding Warlocks participating in the event.
The Warlocks, in their suit, say they have taken part in such benefit rides for the past 15 years.

VINCENT BLACK SHADOW RETURNS– Ever hear of the famed Vincent Black Shadow? Well, it’s backfolks. Some of us “long in the tooth” folks got to ride them way back in the forties andearly fifties. Unfortunately, they went out of business in the mid-fifties. This bikeset land speed records in the late forties. Now, I’m told, they are back with FIVE,count’m, FIVE prototype models. More info for ya when I find out more.
–Gunny Sack
TIME OUT–I’m scribbling on an editorial for Cruising Rider, hammering on a tech feature on the Amazing Shrunken FXR and doing research on the history of four cylinder motorcycles. That’s enough. Oh, I skipped the big one. We received the final saga and images from Frank Kaisler to complete the vast Biketoberfest report. I hopefully will be able to complete it tomorrow.
The above shot is just an indication of some of the girls roaming Bandit’s Cantina and the reason I try to make deadlines. When I’m with her, I don’t want a damn thing on my mind but her scent. Are you with me on this one? Life is to short to drink cheap wine or not enjoy your favorite whiskey and the touch of a woman. That’s it, shut down your computer and go find her. Let’s ride.
–Bandit
