HELEN WOLFE’S BREAK FROM THE NEWS–Suzanne’s new roommate and long time friend MARYANN had her 27th birthday party Saturday night. They had a grunge garage band, and while the music started a little late, the cops came and stopped us a little early, right after they returned from the second keg fetch.
The redhead is MaryAnn, the long-haired gal in black is Suzanne’s daughter, a champion pole dancer (she said she’ll find ya some pics). Lil Leslie, our printer at work, is the short one (I’d say with the buzz on, but we all did so its moot).

PROTEST AGAINST MOTORCYCLE RALLY PRECEDES PERMIT REQUEST–By CHRISTINE GIRARDIN, crgirardin@naplesnews.com(Florida). Early plans for a daylong motorcycle rally in Bonita Springs are attracting the kind of interest the rally’s organizer could do without. Protesters are contacting City Council members and writing letters to local newspapers to register opposition to the event, even though organizer Luke McGinnis hasn’t yet submitted the paperwork asking the city to permit the rally.
McGinnis wants to have an afternoon motorcycle rally at the Naples-Fort Myers Greyhound Track in Bonita Springs in April. He thinks that, with direct marketing to affluent, over age 40 riders in Charlotte, Lee and Collier counties, the event could attract 2,000 to 3,000 riders eager to meet with fellow motorcycle enthusiasts.
AT A GLANCE
Luke McGinnis will present his plan for the daylong motorcycle rally and application for a special event permit at the Special Events Committee meeting at 8:30 p.m. Thursday, at city administrative offices, 9220 Bonita Beach Road, building B, suite 203.
Bonita resident Bob Hall wrote his concerns in an e-mail to Mayor Paul Pass, who is an avid motorcyclist and now works for Harley-Davidson Motorcycles in Naples.
“Certainly you must realize that when an event of this type occurs, families will avoid Bonita Springs like the plague. Bikefest is not the image that we want in Bonita Springs,” Hall wrote. Bonita resident Pat Mansfield opposes the plan, citing the gridlock it could create on U.S. 41, Bonita Beach Road and Interstate 75.

STREAMLINED FIX FOR FAT DYNA–Custom Valley MC?s done it again! The leader in wide tire conversions hasupped the ante with their all new BigFoot 240mm swingarm kit for 1991-upDynas.
Precision fitment is a hallmark of Custom Valley components, and the Dyna240?s no exception. Designed and engineered to maintain accurate alignment,the new kit takes stock frame modifications to a new dimension of customconversion.
Custom Valley?s kit, available with or without struts and fender, delivers atrue custom look for a fraction of the price for a ground up conversion.Most importantly, by maintaining original tracking geometry, handling,comfort, and reliability remain unaffected.
Manufacturing precision engineered wide conversions since 1996, CustomValley continues to lead the industry in innovative design and qualitycontent. Since his beginnings as a custom builder in the mid-?80?s, DenisDesRosiers recognized the early need for a geometrically sound conversion tosatisfy the demands of riders wanting the fat tire look. Dissatisfied withwhat he saw offered, DesRosiers designed a solution that didn?t sacrificehandling for appearance, and the results are easy to see in his conversionsthat look like they came from the factory.
Other Custom Valley BigFoot conversions are available for Softails andcustom hardtails. All come complete with mounting hardware, and can beordered with or without drivetrain extension components.
Dyna kit #10440-25, shown above for 2002 and up, comes complete with fenderstruts and transmission offset conversion.
