Here’s the new logo with a drop shadow added by Helen Wolfe, our drag racing editor. She’s going to put together some business cards for her lovely self, Jon Towle and the Digital Gangster. She’s also going to create a couple of T-shirts using Cantina artwork.
Speaking of T-shirts, Paul Morris of Ventura, Calif., won the Cantina door prize for the week — a Bandit autographed 2X Bikernet T-shirt. We’ll throw some other shit in with it as a bonus. Congratulations Paul.
Don’t forget to enter the door prize contest.
Little Johnny was sitting on a park bench munching on one candy bar after another. After the sixth one, a man on the bench across from him said, “Son, you know eating all that candy isn’t good for you. It will give you acne, rot your teeth, make you fat.”
Little Johnny replied, “My grandfather lived to be 107 years old.”
The man asked, “Did your grandfather eat six candy bars at a time?”
Little Johnny answered, “No, he minded his own fucking business!”
Watch a world class custom come together in the free section of Bikernet. Cyril Huze is building a bike weekly on the site, and his bikes are works of art. Check it out. ?
How much room does a Pro Stock Harley-Davidson team NEED?? Bill and Theresa Hannon, proud owners of Hannon Racing, Ft. Myers Beach, Fla., needed a little room to grow. Scott Fischer, owner of Harley-Davidson of Ft. Myers, Fla., agreed?and as of last week, Hannon’s world record-holding Pro Stock Harley-Davidson can stretch out and breathe a little easier. ?
Hannon’s Harley-Davidson now resides in the service department and the entire road rig ?(Ford truck with a 48-foot trailer) are spared the elements, now stored indoors at Florida’s newest, deluxe, 45,000-square- foot dealership at 2160 Colonial Blvd.
BIKERNET WILL BE THERE, AND WE ARE SPONSORING THE PARTY ON THE QUEEN MARY SATURDAY NIGHT
A man’s brain, in case you didn’t know.
A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers. The first one shouted, “Nobody move!”
When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.
It’s summer and time to get cool with some of the hottest shirts on the planet. That’s our own line of DragonFly shirts, sold securely right here at Bikernet in the Gulch. Check ’em out. We don’t charge postage and handling and keep the price to a minimum. And the shots of the girls aren’t half bad.
In ancient England, a person could not have sex unless they had consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family). When anyone wanted to have a baby, they got consent of the King, the King gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex. The placard had F.*.*.*. (Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it.
Now you know where that came from.
They seem to be dropping like flies. Titan, Quantum, Big-X, Boar, Wild West, American Eagle, and I just heard that Ultra filed Chapter 11 too.
The news with the flooring companies is that Indian is about to do the 11 dance too. The stockmarket hit a shitload of these guys that over predicted the amount of demand for alternative bikes and they just could not sustain the overhead. We almost did a move to a bigger facility last November and put on the brakes. Good thing, at least we’ll be standing when the dust settles.
–John Covington, Surgical Steeds, Phoenix
That’s it. I must now ride the touring chopper into the hills to ponder the meaning of life. Then I’ll ride to the nearest bar and have a couple drinks to try to change my mind. Have a helluva week, and don’t ever change.–Bandit

This will fry you. Our Bus Stop Poster on Casino Drive in Laughling was stolen. It’s the only billboard in Laughlin to ever get nabbed. Arizon and Nevada authorities are all over it. The cops in California don’t give a shit. Let’s hit the news:
Speaking of Billboards, our master designers dialed us after the Thursday news was posted. “I want that girl!” He shouted.
So does every other guy on the planet,” I muttered holding the receiver at arms’ length.
“No, no, you horney bastard,” He coughed into the phone, “I want her for the Bikernet billboards in Sturgis.”
We’re one it, I mean, on her, I mean…
Take a look at these photos of the 95-inch Twin Cam on Steve Gay’s engine dyno. 800 lb bike and rider went 11.66 at 114.5 before it was dynoed. Has now made 133 hp at 6300 rpm and 125 lb ft at 4800 rpm on av gas. Expect low 11’s or high tens at close to 120 mph if the owner can ride it.
There’s no hidden nitrous, turbos or one Screaming Eagle part in it. Uses ported stock twin cam heads with big valves and combo was sussed out on the computer first. Software predicted 137 hp at 6500 rpm and 124 lb ft of torque at 4700 rpm. How close can you get? Regards Bob Kotmel
We will be posting more on this puppy, as it comes in.
Ultra Motorcycle Company Files Chapter 11. Ultra filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 bankruptcy on May 21, 2001. The filing was necessitated by the threat of a foreclosure sale scheduled later that day by the company’s secured creditor. UMC states it is continuing all normal business operations and will continue uninterrupted services to its dealers and customers.
We now have clearance from our sticker maker that these puppies will be rolling off the line shortly. Under Bikernet.com will be our motto, “Where The Party Begins And The Ride Never Ends”. We’ll have these at all the up coming shows, and be stuffin’ ’em in all our book orders.
There was a cruise ship going through some rough waters that ended up sinking just off the coast of a small deserted island. There where only 3 survivors: 2 guys and a girl. They lived there for a couple of years doing what was natural for men and women to do. After several years of casual sex all the time, the girl felt really bad about what she had been doing.
She felt having sex with both guys was so bad that she killed herself.
It was very tragic but the two guys managed to get through it and after a while nature once more took it’s inevitable course. Well, a couple more years went by and the guys began to feel absolutely horrible about what they where doing. So.They buried her!
RECORD ATTENDANCE AT MOTORCYCLE RIGHTS CONVENTION. The annual convention of the National Coalition of Motorcyclists gathered together over 1,100 motorcycle rights representives from all over North America. The theme of the convention was “Celebrate Freedom,” with seminars covering pro-motorcycle legislation, biker anti-discrimination and other ideas that would benefit motorcyclists.
ELOCITY SIGNS LETTER OF INTENT TO ACQUIRE AMERICAN EAGLE II. eLocity Networks has entered into an Letter Of Intent with American Eagle II. The pending acquisition will develop the new ‘motion division’ of eLocity with the American Eagle motorcycle line. The eLocity Network is concentrating on building two diverse networks, Internet and real product….
FOUNDER OF DUCATI MOTORCYCLES PASSES AWAY– Bruno Cavalieri Ducati, the last surviving founder of the Ducati Motorcycle Company, has died at the age of 96. Honorary Chairman since 1998, Ducati was the last of the three brothers who founded the company. He died in a rest home at Ispra, Italy on May 14, 2001.
In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts. So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them to mind their own pints and quarts and settle down.
It’s where we get the phrase “mind your P’s and Q’s,”
Just returned from a 300 mile overnight ride to the Idlywild in the mountains south of Los Angeles. The Touring Chopper still has it in her. Nuttboy and his wife Debbie helped me build the San Pedro Headquarters, so when they called and told me that a giant pine had almost taken out one of their cabins I was there with chainsaw in hand. We snorted 2-stroke fumes and sawdust all day until that bastard was cut into fireplace chunks. Although it took Nuttboy’s tractor to move the bastards until they’re dry enough to split. Have a great holiday. I’m gonna have a burrito and sex this afternoon, then we’ll see what the evening brings. –Bandit

I’ve got to hand it to Indian for stepping up to the plate with the powerplant. I might ride up to Gilroy on Thursday night and witness a test ride the next morning. Micah McCloskey has been invited to straddle one. Let’s hit the news:
Helen Wolf’s main man, Mailman, with a long-lost relative.
A Texan, a Californian and an Oregonian are out riding horses. The Texan pulls out an expensive bottle of whiskey, takes a long draught, then another. He suddenly throws it into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the bottle in mid-air.
The Californian looks at him and says, “What are you doing? That was a perfectly good bottle of whiskey!”
The Texan says, “In Texas, there is plenty of whiskey and the bottles are cheap.”
A while later, not wanting to be outdone, the Californian pulls out a bottle of champagne, takes a few sips, throws the champagne into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots it in mid-air.
The Oregonian can’t believe his eyes. “What the heck did you do that for? That was a perfectly good bottle of champagne!”
The Californian says, “In California, we have plenty of champagne and bottles are cheap.”
So, awhile later, the Oregonian pulls out a bottle of Widmer Hefeweizen.
He opens it, takes a sip, then chugs the whole bottle. He then puts the bottle in his saddlebag, pulls out his gun and shoots the Californian.
The Texan, shocked, says, “Why the hell did you do that?!” The Oregonian replies, “In Oregon, we have plenty of Californians and the bottles are worth a nickel.”

Hey, Check out the July issue of Hot bike. Mainly the cover. Bitchin M2 and even more better’er is the lady in “Blue”. Don’t care for the rear tire setup the guy did at all. The Airtech body work has been around since ’97 or so. It has the Buell carbon fiber chin fairing. Like the Showa front forks with the dual disk setup. I can tell from the pic. the swing arm recall has not been done. Also the header pipe?has the?small 2″ Dia. collector. This was stock on the ’95/’96 S2’s. Not a good one for big H.P.
Check out page 43 (Big HP Buyers Guide) At the bottom is Rivera’s Fatso motor. Twin Cam cylinders and heads on a Evo single cam set of cases. This engine?would look great in a Rigid Chopper.

I read Orwell. I liked it, but was hoping for a payback ending but was glad you forced the issue of freedom vs. government ownership. If you begin to trust the government, just ask an American Indian.

It?s been awhile since the last update on the production of Asphalt Cowboys. The only reason being, I?ve been busy acting in two other projects. One being a picture called NEW GUY, by Revolution Studios. It’s a comedy about a geek in high school, who gets himself thrown in prison to reinvent himself. Guess who plays one of the prisoners? This was shot in Austin, Texas, right after Thanksgiving.
I left straight from Austin to New York City and Toronto to start another film starring Michael Douglas called DON?T SAY A WORD, by Fox Studios, it should be a real thriller. I kidnap his daughter and hold her for information to where a five carrot red diamond that we stole ten years ago (worth $15 million) is buried. We just wrapped a couple weeks ago.
Anyhow, production on Asphalt hasn?t slowed, thanks to cell phones that reach out and touch you just about anywhere. Calling my ole friend Danny Trejo, (we met shooting CON AIR) , he had some ideas that just might pan out and enable us to get this thing rolling this summer. It will be great to act with him again. He’s a real talent. We have a new director on board too, Scott Spiegal. One hell of a shooter. He directed DUSK TIL DAWN 2, a really cool looking piece. A new budget has been made and we should know more real soon. I?ll keep ya abreast.
Oh yeah, forgot to tell you. I was half way through “Sam Chopper Orwell” and left it on a plane between Toronto and New York. Sorry, I was really enjoying it too.

T paper (St. Petersburg Times, 5/18/01) carries a piece from the AP about a Chicago cop clocking one Mr. Daemond Rogan, 32, in a 40 mph zone doing, hmmm, a little over 160.
Says that Officer Burk gave chase “…along Chicago’s Lake Shore Drive but couldn’t keep up.” (Maybe the donuts weighed him down.)
Seems Mr. Rogan was none too bright either. After he doubled back, the gendarmes stopped him on Michigan Avenue, identifying him by his helmet.
They checked a Honda dealership to see if a 1999 CBR 600F4 could really stop the clocks at 160; they were told the bike actually tops out at 165.
Conclusion? Mr. Rogan needs a tuneup.

VIETNAM DELAYS HELMET LAW ?Bowing to public pressure in a country where millions use motorbikes to get around, Vietnam’s government has shelved a plan to fine urban riders who do not wear helmets.
A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several days later, he received a letter from the police that contained another picture, this time of handcuffs. He immediately mailed in his $40.
Another sign (though this guy might be onto something worth thinking about)!
What else do I know? Not a goddamn thing. Big Karl from Scottsday just took off. He had his first taste of Buell this weekend. He was impressed. Wild weekend ahead. With the help of Joker Machine, we are at the rolling chassis stage of NuttBoy’s Pro Street. Have a great week.–Bandit

There was this blonde who just got sick and tired of all the blonde jokes. So one evening she went home and memorized all the state capitals. Back in the office the next day, some guy started telling a dumb blonde joke.?
She interrupted him with a shrill announcement, “I’ve had it up to here with these blonde jokes. I want you to know that this blonde went home last night and did something probably none of you could do … I memorized all the state capitals.”
One of the guys, of course, said “I don’t believe you. What is the capital of Nevada?”

I am a medical student doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down, and at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants.
I told her that she better bring her daughter into the emergency room right away. Here’s your sign lady. Wear it with pride.
Yep it’s an event at the Capital, but we lost the copy. As soon as we find it there will be a full report. What can I say?
Hell that’s all I know. Slow day so we can take care of Mom. Just don’t let her pass any laws, will ya? If ya can, sneak out for a ride–Bandit.

I am a medical student doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down, and at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants.
I told her that she better bring her daughter into the emergency room right away. Here’s your sign lady. Wear it with pride.
Yep it’s an event at the Capital, but we lost the copy. As soon as we find it there will be a full report. What can I say?
Hell that’s all I know. Slow day so we can take care of Mom. Just don’t let her pass any laws, will ya? If ya can, sneak out for a ride–Bandit.

Sorry about last Sunday. I was returning from the Emerald City on the Colorado River. Let’s see what Sunday has in store:
One of the contributors to our Antique section is none other than Glen Bator, the Chandler Museum curator. He’s hosting the 3rd Annual Vintage Cycle Rally at the San Joaquin Valley King’s Fairgrounds on May 19. Gates open at 6 a.m. sharp.
I keep forgeting to mention Street Vibrations in Reno on Sept. 19-23. For all the scoop, check road-show.com.
The Digital Discovery team never hesitates to research even the oddest animals on the planet. This is a rat, but we don’t know where it came from. We’re on the hunt though.
A blonde decides to try horseback riding, even though she has had no lessons or experience. She mounts the horse unassisted and the horse immediately springs into motion.
It gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to slip from the saddle. In terror, she grabs for the horse’s mane, but cannot seem to get a firm grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horse’s neck, but she slides down the side of the horse anyway. The horse gallops?along, seemingly oblivious to its slipping rider. Finally, giving up her frail grip, the blonde attempts to leap away from the horse and throw herself to safety. Unfortunately, her foot has become entangled in the stirrup.
She is now at the mercy of the horse’s pounding hooves as her head is struck against the ground over and over.
As her head is battered against the ground, she is mere moments away from unconsciousness when to her great fortune, Bill, the Walmart greeter, sees her and unplugs the horse.
Big Dog and American Iron Horse are the staples of the manufactured custom motorcycle market. Big Dog has invested in a new, more efficient production facility with more than 100,000 square feet. We’ll bring you a company tour as soon as they’re drunk enough to let us in.
We’re fortunate to be watching this custom evolve on the free tech section of the site. Cyril Huze, a master customizing expert from Florida, is submitting weekly updates on his most recent creation. The guys in the garage are taking notes.
True to my word, I read your book (I take it I ain’t gett’n no $50 bucks, though…… HA!).?
For what it’s worth, you did good, dude. Aside from several misspellings, grammatical errors and have’n no dirty pictures to oggle over, the story line went quite well and kept my interest from begining to end. I’d read another one of yours, if that says anything to you. Seriously, though, you might lean a bit on who ever is doing your editing. The errors are strewn throughout. Many could have been caught by simply hitting spell check before going to print.
Well, you showed us your personal/professional handiwork. Here’s a taste of mine that’s out and about in various locations. Not so technical and?demanding as yours… but pays pretty well in the long run. Ride free, Bandit.
F.C. White (aka: Zzap!)
Spell what? F.C. White is a Washington-based sculptor and we hope to cover his talents in the Digital Discovery in the near future.
Like most Fortune 500 companies, we run background checks on all of our upper management. Accused of being a Yuppie, we followed Helen Wolfe, drag racing photographer and key team leader for the new Drag Racing Section on Bikernet, to the home she shares with drag racing legend “The Mailman.” We’re proud to say that this photograph of their family home in the Black Forest exonerates her of any such accusations.
There’s Something About a Ride, by Jim Coca
There’s something about the smell of damp morning pavement when the sun first begins to warm it. To me, it’s the smell of daybreak on the road, of travel, and of countless hours and days lost in thought amidst the rumble of exhaust and the clatter of valves. A long ride is always a time of discovery and solitude; it truly is the best of times.
I left Gillette early and headed to Rapid City for some blood work for this elusive ailment that seems to come and go. I took a sick day when I saw the weather–the only nice day for a week or so–an oasis of sunshine, light winds, warmth and blue sky. A perfect day to play hooky. So, feeling like a school-kid skipping high school, I stopped by Exit 14 Amoco, iced a sixer of my favorite traveling beer and stuck it in my saddlebags before continuing onward. By the time I hit Rapid, the electric vest and the heated grips were off. I swung by the doctor’s, gave them some blood, then headed south. I had the whole afternoon ahead of me, and I sure as hell wasn’t up for repeating the two hour drone on the interstate…it was almost 80 degrees by noon…in April…so I rocked on.
I caught Highway 79 south to Hermosa, then took 16A through a series of tunnels that led to Keystone, past Mount Rushmore, by Hill City, over to Custer, then down to Edgemont, and west to Mule Creek Junction and north to Newcastle before heading home to Gillette…all on two lanes. I even hit some snow and brush on one of the tunnel roads and had to take a dirt-road detour into Keystone (so it was a good GS day as well).
It turned out to be almost a 500-mile round trip of absolutely beautiful roads and scenery…and since it’s the “off season” and a weekday to boot, there were no motor homes to pass and hardly anybody else on the road. As far as other traveling bikes go, I saw another Beemer, a Dresser and a Goldwing…brothers of the road, and the three types of bikes that can always be found on any road, in any weather, in search of a journey.
I picked up a 12-inch sub in Custer, then had a beer and a lunch down a forest gravel side road on the way to Edgemont. I took a nap, wrote in my journal and enjoyed the solitude of a great ride and a great day.
For a brief space in time, I was completely free; what a bonus for April. The high temp for Saturday is supposed to be 43 with rain, and on Sunday, we’re supposed to have a range of 31-36 degrees with rain and snow…so I guess taking a fade on Wednesday was a good call…

Is it Ron or Jim?
Just looked at the “Badlands” Buell (in the Tech Area or the Buell Report). The pictures really looked good! That along with the “Ink” made it killer. It left me a Buell rider wanting to see more of the bike. The cam cover came out good and leaving the rear dowel pin?boss was a wise?move. Also the air cleaner cover looks good. How do you like the Buell pipe? It works really good, huh? I like a SuperTrapp muffler myself. More tuning options for me.
Note: there is a recall?for that muffler. It’s a safety strap and a cable setup. Get it done before you go anywhere! Call the local dealer for info. A long ride will produce a lot of vibration down there.
For Sturgis, you might want to try a 55-tooth rear pulley. It’s a Buell International P/N. You probably have the motor now for it. It drops the rpm’s about 500 or so. Good for mileage and “High Speed Gear Jammin” down the road. You leave those big-inch, Big Twin slugs in the dust!
Also, the Baker Buell 6-speed?install would be a great addition to the bike and your articles.
–Secret Agent, Charolette H-D
A man met a beautiful lady and he decided he wanted to marry her right away.
She said, “But we don’t know anything about each other.”
He said, “That’s all right, we’ll learn about each other as we go along.” So she consented, and they were married.
They went on a honeymoon to a very nice resort. While they were lying by the pool one morning, he got up off of his towel, climbed the 10 meter board, and did a two-and-a-half-tuck gainer, followed by three rotations in the jackknife position. When he straightened out, he cut the water like a knife. After a few more demonstrations, he came back and lay down on the towel.
She said, “That was incredible!” He said, “I used to be an Olympic diving champion. You see, I told you we’d learn more about each other as we went along.” So she got up, jumped in the pool, and started doing laps. After about 30 laps, she climbed back out and lay down on her towel, hardly out of breath. He said, “That was incredible! Were you an Olympic endurance swimmer?”
“No,” she said, “I was a hooker in Venice and I worked both sides of the canal.”
We’ve hooked up with an online bike shop. We’re giving them a test. It’s our intention to make Bikernet the place to come for everything, except a drink and a girl. Too bad. We’re working on a real Bandit’s Cantina, though. Okay, so we wanted you to be able to get the parts you need here with the best possible service. So we hooked up with Chopperscycle.com out of Canada. They promise to take good care of you, so report in if they don’t. They currently carry the entire Custom Chrome Inc. and Chrome Specialties catalog. They’ll be adding more lines weekly. Let us know what you think.

Hey, put a shot of Jack in your coffee. Finish it off and go for a ride. Let her sleep. You can roll out to the blues joint, listen to some tune and be back in time for a nooner. Ride forever, Bandit.

No bullshit. I just received a call from Wino Joe. Seems the Booze Fighters now own the old Hollister police chief’s pad from ’49, and they’re inviting me to stay there over the 4th. I’m honored. I recently interviewed the oldest living Booze Fighter, Jim Hunter, a helluva good dude with quite a story. Watch for it in Hot Rod Bikes. Let’s hit the news.
This month we wrapped up the photography for the upcoming 2002 FastDates.com calendars with a sizzlin’ cover shoot of our favorite calendar models and SBK World Superbike trophy girls Brooke Johnson and Taylor McKegney. Things really got heated up in the studio between these two beautiful girls and I’m sure you’ll appreciate the results in the 2002 Garage Girls Calendar. And of course, the steamier outtakes from our shoot will be featured in Members Corner in the next few months. So stay tuned… http://www.FastDates.com/MBRINVIT.htm
Got the new H-D Twin-Cam stroker wheels and pistons in. Here are a couple of shots for you. “Meanest” woman is holding the pistons. I thought for sure them flames were bouncing up and down for a minute there. The “Best Crank” holder in the shop is holding them rods upright and at attention. We will be putting the stroker kit in a demo bike soon with heads, cams, etc..
Later, Paul–Charlotte, H-D
P.S. I know, I know, the girls were a little shy. What can I say, man?
I’ll take the one with the nice nails. –Bandit
I was listening to the radio the other day and I heard one of the all-time best comeback lines in my life. Note: This is an exact replication of a National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and U.S. Army Gen. Reinwald, who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout troop visiting his military installation.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: “So, Gen. Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?”
GENERAL REINWALD: “We’re going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.”
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: “Shooting! That’s a bit irresponsible, isn’t it?”
GENERAL REINWALD: “I don’t see why, they’ll be properly supervised on the rifle range.”
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: “But you’re equipping them to become violent killers.”
GENERAL REINWALD: “Well, you’re equipped to be a prostitute, but you’re not one, are you?”
The radio went silent and the interview ended. And all I could think was, go Army!

The grand master’s gas tank. This is a suicide clutch Panhead chopper built in the early ’70s and still on the road. The owner is the man who originally came to the States with Bruce Lee and trained with him until he died. His dojo is dedicated to the master. He’s now finally looking for a Road King. Write Bandit@bikernet.com if you have a deal on a late model Road King.
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington engineering mid-term. The answer was so “profound” that the professor shared it with colleagues, which is why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
BONUS QUESTION: Is hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law, (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering hell, let’s look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in hell because Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the volume of hell has to expand as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose.
2. Of course, if hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.?
So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Teresa Banyan during my freshman year, “… that it will be a cold day in hell before I sleep with you,” and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with Ms. Banyan, then, #2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that hell is exothermic and will not freeze.”
The student received the only “A” given.

Got word that someone called about the Hagman gala event and got info from Bikernet. Cool! Thanks! The number they called was (310) 204-3300. That is our work facility in Culver City where we have our Beach Ride meetings. For the Hagman event, can we use/place (323) 298-8218. That is my direct line. Also, you can place (800) 696-3727. Kim Peterson taking pictures at Hagman’s Hall of Fame indoctrination dinner in Beverly Hills should be a blast. Some tickets are still available.

“Yeah” she replies, “When you die, I’m getting you a headstone that reads, ‘Here Lies My Husband – Stiff At Last.'”
Victory Motorcycles Teams With Coca-Cola, Sprint and Kmart to Back Kyle Petty Children’s Charity Ride In-Store Displays Raise Awareness of Ride’s Fundraising Efforts
Victory Motorcycles has teamed up with Kmart, Sprint PCS and Coca-Cola to rev up support for the Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America, the annual cross-country motorcycle ride that has raised more than $2 million for children’s hospitals and charities. Victory and its partners are raising awareness of the seventh annual charity ride with displays featured exclusively in Big K and Super Kmart stores nationwide. The displays include a large cut-out of Kyle Petty with two Victory Motorcycles, as well as Coca-Cola product and information about the charity ride. Kmart shoppers can pick up registration forms and mail them in for a chance to win prizes such as two Victory motorcycles and a trip for four to the annual end-of-the-ride party at Kyle Petty’s farm. Winners who attend the party will get to meet NASCAR celebrities as well as popular musical acts who perform at the party. Displays in several Kmart stores across the country will also feature actual Victory motorcycles – not just cardboard cutouts – created through the cooperative efforts of Victory dealers, Kmart store managers, and Coca-Cola bottlers. Bottlers who help create the best Coca-Cola/Victory/Kmart displays will be eligible to win genuine Victory leather jackets autographed by Kyle Petty. The in-store displays will be seen by approximately 38 million Kmart shoppers per week between March and April.
I believe- that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.
