BIKERNET READER REVIEW OF THE SUNDAY POST–Good stuff as always…compact but informative. As an seasoned (old) trucker, I am really enjoying the old truck photos especially the one on Thursday with the load of Packards. My dad and I were leased to that company starting in the late ’60s into the ’90s.
Diesel smoke makes me horny, but not as horny as linquini girl. Keep it up…Sin Wu needs ya!

WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS RESEARCH BY BIKERNET SCIENTISTS– It’s late fall and the Indians on a remote reservationin South Dakota asked their new chief if the comingwinter was going to be cold or mild.
Since he was a chief in a modern society, he hadnever been taught the old secrets. When he lookedat the sky, he couldn’t tell what the winter was goingto be like. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribethat the winter was indeed going to be cold and thatthe members of the village should collect firewood tobe prepared. But, being a practical leader, after several days, hegot an idea He went to the phone booth, called theNational Weather Service and asked, ‘Is the comingwinter going to be cold?’
It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,’ themeteorologist at the weather service responded.
So the chief went back to his people and told them tocollect even more firewood in order to be prepared.
A week later, he called the National Weather Serviceagain. ‘Does it still look like it is going to be a verycold winter?’
‘Yes,’ the man at National Weather Service againreplied, ‘it’s going to be a very cold winter.’
The chief again went back to his people and orderedthem to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.
Two weeks later, the chief called the National WeatherService again. ‘Are you absolutely sure that the winteris going to be very cold?’
‘Absolutely,’ the man replied. ‘It’s looking more andmore like it is going to be one of the coldest winterswe’ve ever seen.’
‘How can you be so sure?’ the chief asked.
The weatherman replied, ‘The Indians are collectingfirewood like crazy.’
Remember this whenever you get advice from agovernment official!

New Sexy Apparel From Triumph–How may times have you said ?This is not what you think?? Well, this ain’t either. Motorcycle manufacturer Triumph over in Hinckley, UK, is not the only brand with the name Triumph. There is also lingerie and underwear manufacturer Triumph, founded in Germany in 1886 and now headquartered in Switzerland. While the two brands have no connection with each other, they both have hot models.
Top model Franziska Knuppe from Potsdam, Germany, for example presents the new Christmas collection of Triumph. While this does certainly heat up the season, the brand is also doing something good with their X-Mas collection of satin and lace: From the sale of every set from Triumph’s X-Mas collection, a contribution is made to the German Tribute To Bambi foundation for children in need.
We just thought we tell you…

HARLEY-DAVIDSON, INC. SELECTS INVESTMENT BANKING FIRM TO ASSIST IN SALE OF MV AGUSTA– BNP Paribas in Milan Will Help Harley-Davidson Move Sale Process Forward
MILWAUKEE (November 19, 2009) ? Harley-Davidson, Inc. (NYSE: HOG) has selected the investment banking firm, BNP Paribas in Milan, to assist Harley-Davidson in the sale of MV Agusta. Harley-Davidson is currently identifying potential buyers for the Italian-based motorcycle company.
?MV Agusta is a highly desirable company for the right buyer,? said Harley-Davidson Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer John Olin. ?MV Agusta has a proud heritage and strong brand, high-quality exciting and beautiful products, and passionate enthusiasm on the part of its customers, employees and dealers, and we are confident in our expectation that we will identify an appropriate buyer.?
Harley-Davidson announced its plans to divest MV Agusta in October, as part of its go-forward business strategy to focus its effort and investment on leveraging the unique strengths of the Harley-Davidson brand to reach new customers, strengthen relationships with existing customers, and grow the Harley-Davidson brand worldwide.
While Harley-Davidson intends to sell MV Agusta, MV Agusta has continued to move forward on the road to revitalization. Under Harley-Davidson?s ownership, MV Agusta has restored production operations and continues to invest substantially in product development, as evidenced by the recent unveiling of the all new Brutale and F4 models, which generated a highly enthusiastic response among customers and key trade media at the Milan show. MV Agusta is also returning to a position of prominence in the premium performance sport motorcycle category.
INCREDIBLE TWIST OF FATE–What a wild day and tomorrow will be a whirlwind of content flying at Bikernet. I have news about the Essen Show in Germany, Vibranator product testing. I’m working on the final 5-Ball factory racer tech after grappling with my new Imac’s ability at gathering photos off the camera card. If I ask Sin Wu or Coral to help with images they piss and moan for a week and I receive only half the images I wanted.
I’ve got news on more new models, a simple Cruise Mate Tech. I’m still trying to find time to launch a couple of pieces of fiction and a story I wrote about Tahiti. Yesterday was nuts. I cooked through Monday and Tuesday, launching articles and taking care of business. Then Wednesday hit like a creek fulla mud. I could receive e-mails, but I couldn’t send anything. That kicked off hours of trying to solve the problem and calling tech support. Nyla handles that. We accomplished absolutely nada, zilch.
I shut the computer down last night, walked away, and all was well this morning. Somebody explain that. The gods of AT&T weren’t on our team yesterday. Quick find the Jack Daniels. It’s time to relax:
Ride forever,
Bandit
