MYSTERY CHOPPER OF THE WEEK–And it is a mystery. The guy who sent it didn’t whisper a word.

–Charles Diaz

THE BIKERNET SAFETY EDITORIAL– I was going through your news section and I read about thecar pulling out with two injured, at bike week. I would like to say fromexperience that an reflective is a must have for every rider. there’stwo things I never ride with out my helmet and my reflective safetyvest. As far as safety goes the reflective vest is the more effective ofthe two. every day there are fourwheelers that spot me because of thevest that wouldn’t have otherwise. There is simply no way a driver canget away with saying she or he didn’t see you when you’re wearing areflective safety vest.

When it comes to cops and wearing a reflective vest, itwill work in your favor, because the cop will automatically assume thatyou’re a conservative responcible rider, and keep on going with outgiving you second glance.

I really do speak from experience when I talk about a reflectivesafety vest. I ride a gas powered bicycle, and I really do mean ride. Iaverage about 100 miles a week, and that’s just my around town miles.When the weather is good and the mood strikes me, I comonly will go forrides out in the country, and I will easly do that much in a day.

Regardless of your wheels Every one on two wheels has on thing incomon. We’re invisble to the fourwheelers out there simply because theydon’t care enough to look for us. A safety vest might not look cool,but wearing one will save your life every time you wear one. Because itforces the fourwheelers out there to notice that hey you’re on the roadto.

OL’ SKOOL CHOPPER SHOW AT LAST RESORT–The crowds may have been down in Daytona Beach this year at Biketoberfest but you would never know it if you were at the Last Resort Bar in Port Orange for this years Ol Skool Chopper Show.

The place was packed when I got there at noon and they kept coming in until I left around 5:00. By then bikes were lined up and down US1. This event continues to grow year after year as it is fun and features some real scooters that get ridden regular. No trailer queens allowed!

Bill Lane of Choppers Inc. is a regular there and when he and Paul Cox showed up things heated up even more. Billy spent a lot of time with people and also signing just about any thing you wanted him to.

The crowd is a big part of what make this place so enjoyable. Their lay back attitude and not trying to out do each other with the latest biker (?) fashions, just wanting to hang out, enjoy each other and what was going on.

The Last Resort is a Biker Bar year round so if you are into that kind of thing, like cold beer at reasonable prices and getting out of the down town bullshit stop by next time you are in the area.

Also be sure to stop by for the next Ol School Chopper Show. I will be there!

BIKERS PLUS ENGINE EQUAL FUN–Put a bunch of Bikers together, add any thing with a engine and the fun begins.

In this case it was some kind of boogie board but it had been modified. Instead of standing up on it and having a bar you held the controls in your hand and steered it by shifting your weight.

Now if you add some adult beverage it really gets interesting.

BANDIT’S CANTINA BAR ETHICS–An old–really old–biker goes into a pick-up bar. He sees a good-looking lady seated at the bar. He takes the empty stool next to her and orders a drink. He looks at the lovely and interesting woman and says, “So tell me, do I come here often?”

THAT’S IT, THE NEWS IS TOAST–I know, we’re running late. Between calls from the Hot Bike folks, electricians running wires, construction jockey lugging 2 by 4s through my work area, contractors and women barking at me, today was hetic.

Hey, but it’s all good. We’re going to rock those magazines. I’m going to bring Frank Kaisler on board as the tech genius, Jason Douglass to help guide the web site and Sin Wu to keep you bastards happy. Even Agent Zebra will be back along with Dr. Nuttboy to write some of the crazyiest shit you’ve read since Zebra rode to Sturgis in ‘2000 from Miami.

He’s written a piece on the making of a Biker Movie. This story will make you wonder how any Hollywood movies are made. Is that enough news to rock the biker world for one week? If not wait until next week, or Sunday for the Sunday Post.

Ride Forever,

–Bandit
