If you’ve ever looked forward to leaving your car in the
garage and bicycling to your local Amtrak yard to board a
train filled with deranged wandering resurrected-dead from the planet Zarkon….you are in luck, moe-foe Lose-a-Relative Joe is gonna make all your dreams of
tuberculosis and probably ebola come true.

You can give C-19 a big hug of welcome compared to what Rolling-Toilet Joe has planned for you. You won’t need facemasks on Biden Transport, you will need flamethrowers to kill the microbes, bacteria, viruses, insects, vermin, chiggers,fleas, leeches and subterranean fecal matter from the undead that you are going to be harboring on you and in you for the rest of your life.



You will be calling the Covid-19 lockdowns and beatdowns and staydowns the good ol’ days after the Contamination Express drops you off, probably head first, at your destination, courtesy of Joe Squint-Eye Biden.

And God bless that rancid hair-sniffer, he thinks this is a
really good idea. Well, it is if your idea of a good idea is
destroying peoples’ lives. And he has already admitted
that when his Cal-Tech plan for solving all America’s
problems at his debate with Trump was for YOU to wear a mask. That’s right, mi amigo, everything will be fine as long as YOU do what Joe Where’s-My-Kids Biden says.
And what he says is for you to wear a mask and ride the
train and the bus.
Eventually he’ll be insisting you take more showers. To keep you safe. He might even provide the trains. He actually makes Ocasio Consuelo Allay-oop Cassandra
Cunnilinga Cortez look intelligent. And you gotta be pah-
RIH-ty fucking stupid to make her look smart. You gotta be some whole new kinda shitforbrains.

It’s a pretty good bet Joe Then You ain’t Black Biden has
never been on a bus or train lately. He’d get a firsthand
look at what the poor and downtrodden that he spends so much of his time praising and subsidizing actually look like. And act like. And smell like. He’d also get to see a lot
of new penises. Whether or not he wanted to. He’d get to
smell the entire aging process of urine; from Pissed Right
Now to Pissed Two Years Ago. He’d see more diseases in one hour than the Front Line hankee dispensers of the pandemic saw in a whole year of saying “get plenty of bed rest and drink lots of fluids” to the annual-cold-and-flu season “victims.”



The trains in America weren’t always human-dung
transporters. That happened after the efficient and
prosperous and fun-to-ride and privately owned trains of
America were nationalized. “Nationalized” means
“confiscated.” The entire public sector exists by
confiscating the wealth and prosperity of the private
sector. Which is fine, it was Constitutional. When things
are Constitutional that means they’re ok. And if they’re
NOT Constitutional, just wait a few minutes, they will be.
When everything is confiscated then, in the words of Darth Sidious, “We will have peace.”

Biden also wants to do away with cars. He is going to
facilitate this by getting rid of roads. But he is not
Communizing America he is saving the planet. He is
saving the planet from humanity. According to Biden, who has the IQ of a salamander, people are a threat to the planet that put them here.

“Human-caused global warming” is a notion believed as
fact by people who have absolutely no comprehension of
what is called “scale.” Trust me, the planet does not even
know we are here. We are THAT insignificant to the sun earth dynamic. Which is huge. One volcano puts more “greenhouse gasses” into the atmosphere in one hour
than humans could manage in all of human history.

So he doesn’t REALLY care about “saving the planet”
what he cares about is “wrecking humanity.” Because he
is in the public sector.



The public sector exists by confiscation and by fiat.
Otherwise, no one would have anything to do with it.
However, the humans in the private sector have a flaw:
They believe that the public sector is necessary.
But let’s get back to arm-caresser Joe. Joe wants to
change the road system into something that will be “burrocart friendly.”

He wants to help the third world, now walking smartly across the border, move from one prehistoric farming job in Joe’s America devoid of machinery to the next. Since they only have burrows and bicycles and stolen shopping carts, you zipping along at
70 miles an hour to get to the beaches and ski slopes and forests are a threat to wooden wagons being pulled by mules and donkeys and children.



Trump wanted human progress but was rude to people so he is hated. Biden wants human regression back to 3 million BC but he says nice things to everyone. He talks
nice and behaves like Lucifer. Trump talked like Lucifer but he acted like someone who knew the private sector is the only thing that actually works and succeeds and prospers.



People prefer Lucifer behavior to Lucifer vocabulary. Just
ask Adam. So, we now have Biden. And if you think he’s
bad wait till Harridan Harris and her VP Ocasio take over.
You will pray for Armageddon as a calmative.

See you on the bus!

Editors Note: I can’t explain it. Generally, we publish Sam’s Picks of the Week with a report about my evil past, or with notions of biker romance and the metalflake experience. But J.J.’s recent findings far outweigh the last time I met a redhead in a bar. However, as you go through your day hanging with brothers, buying motorcycle parts or riding in the wind, you will notice that all seems sorta normal. That’s because you are a biker and completely immune. Riding free works!

The Corona-19 virus is reported to have mutated to radioactive status according to sources reporting allegements relative to information regarded by regarders as accurate. Sores, blisters and pustules are being found on front line workers who have died at their posts and who have succumbed to their lesions even as they were heroically treating the heaps of crawling and in some cases being dragged by ropes, new cases.

Hallways and corridors of health centers, now being called ill-health centers, are strewn with enough of the dead that new corridors and hallways must be constructed since the bodies are emitting so much radiation that Geiger counters are exploding from the vibrations created by the cacophony of ticks and clicks.

Reports of bodies falling from the skies have been reported, according to reported sources who have filed reports. The bodies, which burst upon impact with the ground, releasing scurrying arachnid-like jelly-covered “slime spiders” as they are reportedly being called by witnesses who have witnessed them and who have since died simply by having witnessed them rendering interviews of the witnesses impossible.

Those who have not died even after witnessing the slime-spiders have transformed, screaming all the while, into large, completely visible C-19 viruses which are reported to be the size of the VWs of the ‘50s. The spikes on these enormous viruses detonate like harbor-mines upon contact with human flesh releasing a stench-filled ichor that dissolves all it touches.

Other reports from reports issued by sources known to be close to or at least marginally related to those originally reporting under conditions of anonymity or otherwise informed under conditions of extended anonymity pending verification, have reported that C-19 ichor puddles are unifying and coagulating into warehouse-size undulating gelatinous, forward-advancing anomalies being routinely referred to as The Blobs.

Ladders are being commandeered by human defenders and are being leaned against buildings for
purposes of roof access. No one knows why. Highways are being covered with deceased C-19 victims being pushed up from the ground. They are bursting upward faster than snowplows can ram them to the sides, where “drifts” of bodies ten feet high or more are being created according to alleged reports currently being investigated by investigators of reported reports.

Body-counts of the deceased as determined by Count Experts are reported to have exceeded the human population of Earth by 400% and climbing. C-19 cases are now in the International Space Station and are threatening the rest of the solar system and the galaxy beyond to where the night sky is now empty of stars.

Worst of all, David Muir of ABC News has been reported to have become unable to assume his “ready for action” posture at his news desk wherein he sits straight up with a bit of a forward lean while his palms rest upon the desktop and upon pieces of paper with his elbows a bit angled as though he is prepared to spring to his feet at any second and personally solve the problem.

He is at the moment reporting on to where, now, he, weakened by C-19, he is held under the arms by two assistants, allowing him to gamely and with gravelly voice recite the tragedies and injustices of the day while being fed intravenously. Indeed, this transmogrification of David Muir from lean, alert, Bryl-Creamed boy-wonder into an aged, wizened, exhausted baggy-suited specter is widely considered to be the, to-date, worst resultant aspect of the pandemic so far ever unanimously-agreed-upon catastrophe of the 14-month, so far global and cosmological pandemic to date reported according to sources close to other sources familiar with the contacted contacts for verification.

Breaking: All spherical celestial objects, from rocks, up to and including the sun, moon, stars and asteroids have been determined according to experts to be C-19 viruses. The electronic letters on the screen you are reading, in addition, according to sources, are photon-spheres of C-19 penetrating your eyes and infecting your optic nerve cells and turning you into an entity called Zag-hothnar-Iglakto Palchon Ignar, demon overlord of the Kraal dung-people of the planet Gargh.

There is reportedly a vaccine currently being produced which offers 30% effectiveness against this and other versions of the C-19 Gargh-variant mutational offspring transformatative deviant hybrid anomalous divergence which will be mandatory for all food purchases.

Ladies and gentlemen of America; I want to tell you how much I cherish the honor of having been the President of what was once the hope of the world but is now scheduled to be the next conquest of the global Islamic/Marxist Jihad: the United States of America.

The United States is united in what way exactly….. at this point it is impossible for me to say. Over and above the fact that passports will soon be required to go from State to State with armed guards at every border-crossing, half the Country wants liberty….and the other half wants lockdowns, facemasks, riots, black supremacy, white guilt, mandatory-Islam which is basically one word, Communism, equality – meaning everyone having nothing, – hopelessness, bums in the street, human feces in the street, a reversal of progress which they call “progressivism,” the abolishment of fuels that get the job done by fire and fission….. to be replaced by air and sunlight NOT getting the job done. At least not at night or on windless days.

Half the Country wants to live life via productivity and reward for effort and to work our way to the stars….. and the other half wants to live life via punishments for
productivity…..and rewards for indigence and sloth….. and to return to living in tents and praying to the earth like pagan primitive prehistoric Pleistocene Australopithecines.

They want to punish the healthy for not being sick by quarantining them, and they want us to work our way, not to the stars, but back into planet earth, probably in caves, and into the year 20 million BC. They even want to get rid of BC.

We are in a battle where both sides, the Republicans and the Democrats, are now both fighting for the same thing: Marxist/Islam. The difference is one side, the Democrats, want it now and the other side, the Republicans and the Conservatives, want it down the road but not now, but they don’t know what they do want now so they just drift along with whatever current is carrying them at the moment, time enough later to figure it all out.

I came into the world of politics and government and bureaucratic chaos from the world of business. Business: which is taught in government schools to be evil. And it is declared evil because it is where agreements are voluntarily made between individuals with clearly stated agreed-upon goals and voluntary terms of finance all for the purpose of pleasing …..voluntary customers…… and I left that world and I entered a world of compulsion and discord and deception and forced payment for nothing-specific via compulsory taxation and mob rule, where there are no agreements, where there is only the minority giving tyrannical orders to the majority, which the Left then grandly declares is Democracy. Which is taught to be a caring and sanctified way of life in direct proportion to the degree of forced obedience.

When you’re in the world of business, at least as an owner, but not necessarily as a CEO – you must talk normal. You can’t say things like “mitigate the moment” or “flatten the curve” or “lessen the gradient of the achievable slope” or “be existentially aware of the overarching threat if we don’t turn the corner on the unresponsiveness of the commonly held belief of the teachable mandate.”

I actually thought I could fix all this. But then, real Americans often try to achieve the impossible.

 

The first three years of my administration were spent with the House and the New York Times and the CIA and whatever else is called “intelligence” around here….. trying to convince America that Vladimir Putin and I conspired to rig the election. Vladimr Putin wanted to have to deal with me rather than with Hillary like I want to deal with Pelosi rather than with showgirls.

The final year of my administration had to deal with a flu that emerged two days after the Senate tore up Pelosi’s and the so-called-intelligence community’s collusion caper.

And now, mysteriously, the guy who could not attract more than 200 people to an event and whose entire political platform was “Wear a mask” has won an election that the Squad is going to usurp. Not that they’re not actually running things already. Ocasio is in full Marxist overdrive and her three Marxist sisters from an emotional and spiritual and intellectual hate-factory even Satan would envy are already making lists of who to execute Che Guevara style.

You could be on that list.

Meanwhile I have actually been considering colluding with Putin for real. He has 11 time zones in his Country, most of which are open scenic wonderlands. What with all the ice melting I might try and teach him real estate development tips and we can collude for real and create a land where normal people can live in peace. Russia and the USA are already colluding in space with the space station and have been for years, but apparently the failed novelists who call themselves journalists don’t consider that a threat to the rule of the so called 4th estate. But me chatting with Putin one on one is of course a threat to the rule of the so-called 4th estate. Which would be the failed novelists of journalism.

In case you don’t know what the 4th estate is. It’s the branch of government journalists – or failed novelists – have created. Which in many ways is actually, in fact, the operating governmental mechanism of the United States. Who no one apparently knows how to handle. Except maybe one person.

I had one particular pest for four years begging me to make him “Press Hack” as he calls the position of press secretary. I should have done it. I might still be President. We are heading toward a one party system. The difference between libs and conservatives is that libs know government is a con.

Normal people call this imprisonment. Libs call it “you doing your part in not overwhelming the health care system.” Like, that’s your job now: not overwhelming the health care system. …..by being immune to the flu and therefore “a risk to the community.” No one apparently is ever going to ask “why is it my job to keep the health care providers from being overwhelmed? Maybe they should work faster. Would that fix things? If they actually made an effort?” No one asks that.

Another thing no one asks is “Why is my not being sick a threat to others who are not sick?” No one asks that. Critical thinking is apparently as extinct as the passenger pigeon.

Speaking of the “healthcare system,” you ever see some of these great and mighty warrior-slugs on the so-called healthcare “front lines”? You would think American
combat veterans and combat personnel would be irate over the press hacks calling someone sitting at a desk and overflowing the chair with hanging sheets of body
fat….”the front lines.”

What are the “front lines” of the annual cold and flu season? The press is even calling the cashiers at the supermarkets “the front lines.” You’ll notice the cashiers are all still alive at the treacherous front lines of the check-out, one year into the global plague of unstoppable death. There’s not a high body or casualty count at the front lines of the supermarket. Brenda is still right there, like she has been for 10 years, right there at the front lines and charging you for a bag.

The air conditioners DO change the weather. The weather affecting YOU. Oh, but you being comfortable on a hot day is not fair to the people who can’t afford an air conditioner. So your air conditioner has to go. And instead you have to make the earth cooler.

That is your assignment, citizen: make the earth cooler by not having modern conveniences and make everyone safe by not overwhelming the health care system by staying at home. Without air conditioning. And eventually in California, without electricity, natural gas, gasoline, or running water.

Mayors and governors and city councilmen and county supervisors know how to alter planetary climate via your obedience, but they don’t know what a sidewalk is for. A sidewalk is a place on the side of the street where people can walk.

Mayors and governors and city councilmen and county supervisors think a sidewalk is a place were people can live in blue tents, with stolen propane tanks, with free needles and narcotics, where cement is a toilet, where fingers – theirs or someone else’s, it doesn’t matter – are toilet paper, where stolen shopping carts and stolen bicycles accumulate faster than the fleas and plague rats that are accumulating there……speaking of disease, have you noticed that the mentally deranged and criminally insane denizens of the sidewalks are exempt from all social distancing rules?…from all shoplifting laws, from all public sex laws, from all mask laws, from all arson laws, from all stabbing laws, from all assault laws….and it’s your fault because you won’t house them in your living room.

So private hotels have to be confiscated so that the so-called homeless – who are living a more fun life than you probably are this year – can contaminate the building and ruin it’s interior with urine, dung, blood, precious bodily fluids, pus, saliva and any other kind of putrid liquid they can muster from their inner anatomy and cause the former owners to commit suicide from despair….and you are being blamed for all of it. Because you keep resisting new zoning laws that will turn your nice neighborhood into a spitoon. And what you can’t resist gets taken from you in taxes – allegedly “for our kids” to pay for the upkeep of these dregs who have more rights than you do.

Yet the people encouraging this aboveground sewer system….know how to cool a planet’s climate. And know how to “keep you safe” from the annual cold and flu season.

The same people that don’t know how to chase-off people living on the sidewalk and don’t know how to keep them from defecating on the floors of supermarkets and in your yard and don’t know how to keep them from starting fires with their renegade and probably stolen propane tanks and which fires you are getting blamed for for driving your car to work….. they don’t know how to do those things…..but they know how to alter climate and the weather.

All they need is your obedience. Your cooperation. Your getting on board their high-speed train to stagnation. They refuse to use atomic power because that would solve too many problems and the Democrats are not in the business of solving problems. They are not in the business of business. They are in the business of shutdowns and elimination and stagnation and who you can stand next to at a six-foot distance and a return to the Pleistocene, which they proudly are calling The New Normal.

They pour out their adulation for every primitive culture on the planet…. and curse Western Civilization. They claim to revere art but, like Hitler, if it’s a sculpture of
someone they don’t like, down it comes. Columbus; Junipero Serra; Jesus….these statues represent people that do not meet the rigid moral standards of the Left.

The Left defines morality as…. doing what they say. They are the standard of morality. If you don’t obey their tyrannies…..you are immoral. They say eternally “you can’t judge a man by the color of his skin.” Unless you’re a lib: then black is beautiful, brown is iffy, white is ugly and they don’t say squat about the asians. They don’t dare. The asians would be in their face.

I have been criticized by the failed novelists – or journalists as they call themselves – for being self-centered. The cure to being self-centered to the Democrats is to be self-sacrificial. A good example of which is the bizarre and Declared Moral Mandate to isolate yourself rather than “be a threat” to others. Who the others are you are advised not to be threat to is never explained.

But I can explain it. The “others” are everyone but you. You in particular are being ordered to protect others. Especially if you’re not sick. Who the others actually are is never made clear. The lockdowns and shutdowns and arbitrary costume changes and antisocial distancing decrees-from-out-of-nowhere are not for the purpose of keeping “others” safe. They’re for the purpose of keeping you poverty-stricken, dependent on “stimulus checks” and to visibly demonstrate to the tyrant petulant nobodies who found themselves a job in the public sector your spineless and clueless compliance. They want a visible proof of their lordship. Facemasks are a good start: easy to see, making it easy to reinforce their encouragement to inflict more crap.

It’s arbitrary clothing and arbitrary attire and arbitrary voodoo religious costuming that is decreed and declared and commanded to have the magical voodoo power to
“slow the spread.” And who knows, it could actually be doing that. It’s slowed it for a full year so far. The annual cold and flu season is now a year long. We’ll be wearing masks for the next ten thousand years at this rate. And all of this bull is so that there will be no “disadvantaged”….. financially or materially or by not being possessed of a functioning immune system.

Everyone will be equal. Equally poor and equally destitute, equally masked and equally begging some crazed, wild-eyed bureaucrat, many of whom look
even nuttier and worse-dressed than the homeless….. for a handout.

While I have not been re-elected for one reason or another (chief among them being
mandated-voting-chaos and a restructuring of the normal polling procedure into a bewildering banana-republic, Iranian, Red Chinese bounce castle of who the hell knows what for the purposes of staying safe from a flu that emerged one day after the Senate tore up the impeachment papers……) while I have not been re-elected, the reality of my one-term as President should be enough to encourage others from the real world of Actual Employment (as opposed to coming from the legal profession….) to either follow
in my footsteps….or else stay the hell out of politics forever and try to encourage Elon Musk in his efforts to transport normal humanity, if there is such a thing, to another planet.

Planet Private, as I would like to call it. My Presidency – and I have to admit my highly criticized personality – has enlightened at least half, and I am sure a lot more than half, of the American population to the reality of the degree of the total utter vagrant-level of degradation inhabiting the souls of almost everyone in the public sector with the exception of firemen, policemen, and servicemen……these three jobs being jobs which Americans would do voluntarily because they are actually necessary. As opposed to every single other present job description in the public sector.

Do you really need the Department of Motor Vehicles in your life? Do you really need the IRS? My Presidency has shown to many who never noticed before….. that wanting to make life better for the citizenry rather than for the bureaucracy – which is basically the goal of everyone in business as opposed to everyone in government – is a no-go zone as far as the bureaucracy is concerned.

Never underestimate the cunning of evil: the real war against me was to discourage other normal people in the real world of commerce and profit-and-loss and industry and employment….from running for office.

The flu hoax, I am now convinced, was a desperate ploy by the Swamp and their failed-novelist allies….. that they never dreamed would be successful. They clearly did not realize the level of avarice and dreams of sadism of America’a governors, mayors, city council members, county supervisors and the new species of bureaucrat called the unelected health advisor. These spiritual monstrosities, declaring themselves guardians
of the public health, issued decrees more ruinous than any flu, and declared the “healthcare providers” as your responsibility to protect.

You are ordered to protect the health care providers. By staying home. And leaving your grandparents and elderly spouses to die alone. So that you don’t by virtue of your selfish antibody-collection “overwhelm the system” by “contaminating” others with your functioning immune system.

Go right now and sneak over to a hospital. Try and find a bedlam-center in it. While the failed novelists are publishing photos of Chernobyl workers in lead suits and
clean-room technicians at NASA in full sterilized mode and pictures of mass graves from World War Two and staged and arranged photos of coffins lining the streets….try and find any of this on your own.

The current mantra is “We are all in this together.” Which is true. But we are not in it voluntarily. We are all in this together by command. That’s the part you are not suppose to pay attention to. Yeah: we’re all in this together. Against our will.

Nobody asked us to be all in this together. It got decreed. It got decreed by our great and mighty governors and mayors: they can control the weather….and they can control disease. Just like witch doctors and voodoo chieftains.

The two great forces of Planet Earth, the weather and biology: these the bureaucrats can control. But they can’t move bums off the sidewalk and onto an island. And controlling biology and the weather they need your obedience to do. There’s a reason your elected and non- elected officials are blaming your children for being threats: their own cowardice. They don’t want to be prosecuted for “not slowing the spread.” Like that’s working.

They don’t want to be blamed for you getting sick. They don’t want to be blamed for anything. They just want you to obey them. Politics is the revenge-job for the bullied in grammar school. Politics is the go-to career for born
sociopaths.

What I wanted to do was make America great again. What Joe Biden wants to do is make America wear facemasks. What his soon to be successor Kamala Harris wants….well, nobody really knows what she wants but they might want to find out because she could become President-elect before I even finish giving this speech.

And if you find out Biden wants to put you in facemasks like he said he does, Harris wants to put you in jail. That’s all she knows how to do. She’s a prosecutor. Her job is putting people in jail. And she likes that job. And if you have a gun: that’s likely where she’ll put you.

“Oh but the 2nd Amendment!!” Well the First Amendment didn’t stop the Flu
Tyranny, and the Second Amendment won’t stop President Harris.

Gavin Newsom just before Thanksgiving ordered all children over 2 years of age in California to wear mandatory facemasks. So, they won’t spread the flu. So they will have guilt complexes all their lives, when Gavin and his successors tell them they killed millions during their childhood years by not wearing facemasks as ordered-to by sociopaths.

That’s right, kids: you killed gran’ma. Gavin Newsom and his ilk said so. I hope you’re proud of yourselves, kids: being murderers and all.

Here’s how it works in Lib World, kids: we get to kill you, that’s right, as long as it’s before you change locations from inside of mommy to outside of mommy.. But you don’t get to kill us. So, you have to wear a mask. Because you’re immune. And your natural immunity is a threat to us adults. And that’s not fair. Welcome to earth, kids. And that birthday party you wanted to have with all your friends? I don’t think so. You’ll all be superspreaders. Because you’re all bad.

Gavin Newsom wants everyone over 2 years old to be responsible for everyone else over 2 years old. We’re all responsible for everyone else not getting the flu. It’s your 3 year old’s job……to do the government’s job. Of keeping people safe. Or whatever the government’s job actually is. Since no one actually knows. What government’s actual duties and responsibilities are is never made clear. A magician couldn’t figure it out. Apparently it’s government’s job to order people not to give other people the flu. No wonder crazy people run for office. It’s designed for crazy people.

Joe Scarborough said I should be tried for manslaughter for not having everyone around me wear masks. He has not been laughed out of a job. He is being hailed by
Democrats and his failed-novelist peers as a warrior as brave and fearless as Alexander the Great. This is what is known as the perversion of right into wrong and wrong into right. According to my Bible that’s usually the last straw for the slow-to-anger Deity Who claims to be the actual Owner of this planet. And Who single-handedly determines the climate.

I think my plan – to make America great again – appealed to a majority of Americans but if the ballots are correct….it didn’t appeal to enough of them. Apparently it didn’t appeal to a majority of Americans who is actually larger than the majority of Americans. Ghost
Americans, apparently.

I – who wanted to make America great again – was defeated at the polls by someone who wants everyone to wear a facemask. Maybe Americans really want stupidity over greatness. If there is one lasting positive aspect of my Presidency it will be to inspire other members of the private sector to enter into the public sector of the Swamp to try and drain the soft sand and refill it with solid ground, as I think Jesus suggested would be a good thing to do in all areas of human progress.

I like to think I broke the mold by leaving an actual job to try and fix all the millions of messes people who never had an actual job and are being voted and appointed into
office….are creating: if creating is the right word for making everyone equally poor and miserable which is the Progressive, Democrat, Liberal goal; from each according to his ability to be enslaved….. to each according to their claimed need….. until everyone is equally-in-need. Except for the Gavin Newsoms and the Governor Sisolaks and the Lori Lightfoots and the Cuomo Families of the world.

The problem with the public sector is that except for the military and the fire department and the police department and possibly NASA….not one other public sector job would ever be filled by volunteers. Because no one would pay to have those government services performed unless forced to by law and by threat. Because except for those jobs mentioned, public service jobs are what are commonly called in legal circles and Mob circles as featherbedding.

Public office, as you are perhaps learning if you live in California for example, is apparently an attractive nuisance for sociopaths. Since there is no actual job description to any public sector position other than the three and perhaps four I mentioned, the public sector traditionally attracts people with no empathy.

The failed novelists of the press and ilk like The Squad say I have no empathy. I actually have empathy for an entire nation. I feel its disappearance into a history-obliterated abyss caused by the ilk that destroys statues and burns cathedrals and changes the English vocabulary into Marxist definitions.

I think I have a LOT of empathy. I am saddened by the loss of the United States. I should say the loss of America because the States are still united, and apparently they are united in lunacy. Just look at the Biden/Obama/Kamala/Ocasio agenda, and it will save me a lot of time here, if you wonder where we are heading.

So, while the public sector attracts people who have no idea what an actual job is or what the economic/capitalistic concept of goods-and-services is….I am hoping my Presidency will be a first assault upon the Swamp of DC and its perversion of the
intelligence and counter-espionage agencies into domestic terrorists and de-stablization agencies aimed against Americans instead of against our enemies.

The day I got in…..the Liberal Marxist Islamic Democrat Front went to work: four years of impeachment and flu fraud and a nationwide election fraud got the job done. I know what you’re saying, how could there be a nation-wide election fraud. Well, there’s a global wide health fraud. And there’s a global-wide weather fraud. And they’re going exceptionally well.

So, turning all voting over to a Post Office I more than once threatened to eliminate…would be warmly received by the Postal Workers Union. So, leaving the vote count to the Post Office was not really wise. But it was really strategically cunning by the other side.

Ayn Rand defined cunning as the evil person’s substitute for actual intelligence.

And speaking of unions: what are public sector jobs, created by fiat and not by customer demand, doing with unions anyway?

In closing I would like to remind you that the Democrats want to eliminate the emissions of carbon dioxide. Keep in mind….you exhale carbon dioxide. Eventually a lot of you 8 billion earthlings are going to have to be culled. To keep everyone else safe. And to keep the ice from melting.

Thank you…..and may the God of the guns-and-Bible citizenry bless you all.

Unbeknownst to some, certain car brands started life by making motorcycles. Take Honda, for instance, or BMW. But what if iconic car brands made motorcycles?

Budget Direct Motorcycle Insurance took six automakers consisting of two Brits, a quirky Japanese, two electrified Americans, and a French record-holder and went to work. The team specifically chose brands that you wouldn’t normally associate with two wheels, and here’s what they came up with:

1. Aston Martin Café Racer
2. Bentley Touring Bike
3. Bugatti Superbike
4. Mitsubishi Scooter
5. Rivian Dirt Bike
6. Tesla Sports Bike

Above is a preview of the Bugatti Superbike that the design team conjured up:

It’s not uncommon for carmakers to dabble in the motorcycling world. Whether talking about two wheels or four, we can’t wait to see what iconic car brands have in store for the future of mobility.

Aston Martin Café Racer Render

Aston Martin was established in 1913. The brand is best known for the DB5 grand-touring car from the 1964 James Bond film, Goldfinger. But for die-hard auto enthusiasts, Aston Martin is known for making some of the world’s most beautiful cars. The brand has recently expanded its portfolio with the new DBX SUV. Most recently, it collaborated with the English motorcycle brand Brough Superior in producing the limited-edition AMB 001, a $120,000 superbike.

Instead of creating a megabuck track star, we chose a different route and created an Aston Martin café racer. For inspiration, we fixed our eyes on the magnificent DB4 GT Zagato Continuation model, part of the $7.2-million Aston Martin DBZ Centenary Collection. For the price, you get a vintage-modern DB4 GT Zagato and the new DBS GT Zagato.

In terms of retro appeal, it’s hard to deny the DB4 GT Zagato’s meticulous coachwork. Our Aston café racer inherited the gorgeous wired wheels and round headlight design of the DB4. It also has a bulbous gas tank, circular side mirrors, and a smallish windshield to complete the retro vibe.

Bentley Touring Bike

The Honda Gold Wing is the quintessential touring bike, although Honda is not the first name that comes to mind when it comes to ‘road luxury.’ On the other hand, British carmaker Bentley is known for taking luxury to the next level, hence our rendition of a Bentley touring bike based on its newest Bentayga SUV.

Our Bentley touring bike is longer than a Gold Wing and has limousine-like proportions. It offers generous seating for two, and the pair of large saddlebags offer enough cargo room for a short, weekend getaway. All the familiar Bentley styling cues are present, including twin round headlights and a massive front grille – the latter hides a large radiator to cool the bike’s massive V-Twin motor.

Model Bugatti Superbike

Without question, the Bugatti Chiron – and its predecessor the Veyron – is the ultimate record-breaking hypercar. The Chiron remains the fastest production vehicle in the world, and it’s also one of the most expensive cars on sale today. It’s only fitting to create a superbike based on the Chiron, but we didn’t settle for the standard model.

No, we went full Monty and sought the $19-million Bugatti La Voiture Noire for our superbike. The result is ‘La Moto Noire,’ our vision of the fastest (and most expensive) superbike ever made. Bugatti’s iconic C-line forms part of the front assembly and forks of the bike, while the wheels, headlights, and exposed carbon-fiber body panels are lifted directly from La Voiture Noire.

Mitsubishi Scooter Render

Japanese car brand Mitsubishi is best known for the mythical Lancer Evolution series, but that was back in the early to mid-nineties. Now, Mitsubishi is part of the Nissan-Renault alliance and has ditched making rally-bred, fire-breathing sedans for practical subcompacts and SUVs. Among the brand’s offerings is the Mitsubishi Mirage, one of the most fuel-efficient, non-hybrid vehicles in the market, capable of achieving 38-43 mpg even with a heavy lead foot.

As such, the Mirage reminds us of a basic scooter. Small in size yet packing a large seat, our Mitsubishi scooter has rugged tires, comfortable suspension, and a familiar Dynamic Shield face. And like the Mirage, it gets the job done with minimal fuss. It doesn’t have a dinky three-cylinder motor like the Mirage, but it does have a dinkier 1.0-liter, single-cylinder EFI engine, and a large gas tank to deliver exceptional mileage

Rivian Dirt Bike

Rivian is making ‘noise’ with its R1T electric pickup truck and R1S SUV. Both vehicles are destined to become the first all-electric off-roaders with genuinely rugged, go-anywhere capabilities. This led us to render the future of dirt bikes or eMotorcross. Like the Rivian R1T, our dirt bike is all-electric with twin hub-mounted electric motors, a modest battery pack, off-road suspension, and regenerative charging technology.

The simple, no-frills design is a definitive nod to the Rivian R1T’s utilitarian roots. And like the R1T, our Rivian dirt bike has oval stadium lights with LED headlamps and a smallish light bar. With only two wheels, our Rivian dirt bike is incapable of making a stationary ‘tank turn’ like the R1T pickup, but it still offers massive grip and tons of torque to conquer the wild outdoors.

Tesla Sports Bike

Our Tesla sports bike is seriously threatening Bugatti’s superbike for the ‘fastest motorcycle in the world’ title. Based on the much-anticipated Tesla Roadster v2.0, our electric superbike goes as fast as it looks. But unlike the incoming Tesla Roadster with its curvy body, our Tesla sports bike has sharper lines akin to a Nighthawk stealth fighter.

The new Tesla Roadster is a quick car with three electric motors, an extended-range battery pack, and cold gas thrusters courtesy of SpaceX. Meanwhile, our Tesla sports bike has twin hub-mounted electric motors, air suspension, massive brakes, and a lower center of gravity. It’s not about how fast this bike can go, but how long you can hold on for dear life.

About NeoMam Studios

NeoMam Studios is a creative studio based in the UK on a mission to create digital content that online audiences will want to share.

1: The pandemic reached immediate-global-emergency-level one day after the impeachment effort was killed in the Senate. Suggesting Donald Trump’s Presidency is the actual cause of the virus. His orange skin dye may have been the incubating agent.

2: Covid-19 started in a bat and also in a clandestine biological warfare lab in China run by The Weekly World News and MI-6 and also in a “wet-market” which is journalese horror-vocabulary for butcher shop, and also in a Vietnamese dog-eating contest vomitorium and from a leaky freezer used by Dracula for unspecified purposes.

3: Covid-19 is so deadly that the only way to fight it successfully until the time comes that we can fight it more successfully is by lowering the body count of deceased victims, which now is everyone’s responsibility.

 

4: The only way to lower the body count of the deceased via our own efforts applied by every living human on earth….. is to slow – not stop – the “spread.” Slowing the spread is universally agreed-to by national overseers and regional commandants such as Justin Trudeau, Gavin Newsom, Barbara Ferrar, Facelift Fauci, Perry Cuomo, Eric Garcetti, Greta Thunberg and everyone with a Screen Actors Guild card as being the only way to keep people safe via the never-before-applied method of white and blue Chinese facemasks universally acknowledged by microbiologists as having no barrier-effect upon the ten billion varieties of corona viruses in global existence for the past 3 billion years of life on earth. This uncertainty has been verified as a certain uncertainty by the CDC and the World Health Organization and by the 300 daily new health advisory boards and health advisory personnel being increasingly-recruited by government officials to enthusiastically take the hit for government officials’ arbitrary and usually-ruinous if not Actual Enemy Attacks….. edicts.

5: Staying 6 feet away from every other human being will maximize your chances of not getting covid-19 based on no evidence from any source known to the scientific community or to any other community up to and including the Wiccan community, the Masons, the Mau-Mau, the Illuminati and the Chemtrail and Lizard-People Underground and invisa-entities currently on the earth at this moment.

 

7: If you are a proven threat which is determined by you “getting tested” and declared to have covid-19 viruses and/or antibodies in you…… this renders you “quarantinable.” Even if you are not sick.

8: All people are a threat to all other people if you have covid-19 and if you don’t have covid-19.

 

10: We are all in this together because that is what “we are all in this together” means. We cannot all be in this together unless we are all in this together. This is simple science.

11: A 25-cent facemask proven to have no effect on the spread or halt of c-19 viruses is ordered to be mandatory, to be enforced by all retail and commercial entities upon their customers under threat of loss of business license in an effort to “slow the spread.” In the event the customer does not have the universal ubiquitous Wall Street Stock-exploding-upward useless facemask, anything that prevents a clear determination of the identifying elements of the individual’s countenance is valid and deemed effective in impeding the travel beyond the covering either into the mouth or out of it of the corona-19 viral entity.

 

13: Children being immune to covid-19 because it is Designed-By-Nature to kill the elderly and those very compromised-resistancewise individuals….. are declared responsible for the health of their grandparents and the grandparents of their friends and the health of all adults. Children are now responsible for grownups. Because of covid-19.

14: Grandparents must never be with their grandchildren until further notice inasmuch as children are a natural threat to the elderly. This is not arbitrary cruelty upon the unaborted as has been suggested by Christian groups. This is science.

 

16: Slowing the spread is vital for many other reasons beyond just slowing the spread, reasons that will never be stated or listed or iterated or made known ever: beyond repeating that slowing the spread is vital to a slowing of the spread for the purpose of slowing the spread to a slowed degree of impeded progress, or spread, by a length or time or factor or unit of measurement never actually determined, communicated, or even guessed-at in the interests of getting the word out there as soon as possible to achieve an even faster and more dynamic and frenetic slowing of the spread.

17: Getting a vaccine into your bloodstream that has no recorded evidence of being a c-19 preventative is vital to the necessity of getting vaccinated.

 

19: Completing the full vaccination “protocol” and showing no evidence of c-19 or antibodies to c-19 in your system does not mean the facemask and distancing edicts are dissolved or rendered inoperative in any way.

20: There is no set time established or condition arrived at which will result in the elimination of the facemask and distancing and travel and gatherings, etc. spread-slowing efforts.

 

22: Brave combat soldiers on the front lines of the war against the attack of c-19 who have shown astounding bravery in the face of the terrible onslaught of the c-19 strain of the annual cold and flu season and who have braved the flame and bullets and bombs of the war against the virus c-19 by charging into the fray of the front lines of the war taking place on the front lines of battle against c-19 and risking life and limb in the process on the front lines of the conflagration and desolation with no thought or concern for their own safety in magnanimous comradeship to their fellow comrades but who are balking at getting the untested and untried but Declared Safe mandatory flu vaccine series….will be disciplined with consequences currently under discussion by health experts, up to but not limited to, termination and/or penal slavery to various government entities in accordance with the stipulations and provisions laid out in the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. Re-education protocols are already being instituted to convince the brave front line veterans of the war against Covid that their unwavering willingness to daily go up against the most heinous and devastating disease plague virus contagion in the universe that has no cure……but are screaming bloody murder about getting the vaccine for it…is confusing to the people the authorities are trying to keep in facemasks and locked inside their houses. Thus necessitating the new getting-of-the-minds-right implementations for our brave and valiant front line fighters.

23: While common understanding acknowledges that c-19 can in fact and is in fact transmitted to the human race from animals, facemasking your cats and dogs and other pets and keeping 6 feet away from them is not under any circumstances being considered as necessary to help slow the spread. Even though your pets can contaminate you with c-19. Health experts have decided that trying to keep facemasks on animals would be impossible due to violent dissent, ferocity-fueled rebellion, and dangerous counter measures the animals would take against this kind of universal muzzling via claws and teeth etc. Unlike the responses given by human mask-wearers who so far have shown no resistance or countermeasures against the stay-safe protocols involving universal masking on a global basis.

 

25: While covid-19 is a flu virus it is also not a flu virus. It is something horrifically worse but with no actual slot in the medical or viralogical body of knowledge as yet. While its symptoms are utterly and totally identical to cold and flu it is not cold and flu. It is Covid-19: an uncategorized flu-imitating non flu that looks, walks, paddles and quacks like a duck….but is not a duck. It is Covid-19.

26: Health advisors – two words which appear in no Federal or State constitution or city charter or county administrational blueprint – will now be the willing, happy and pleasantly-bemused scapegoats for any surges of tyranny governors or mayors or county supervisors are inspired to proclaim under the guise of “keeping everyone safe” for the duration of the pandemic of the annual cold and flu season until such time as it is determined by no one in particular that the c-19 virus no longer exists in any form and under any circumstances on Planet Earth for a measured period of time which must persist for a to-be-determined extent.

 

28: Quarantining people who are not sick with the flu and who have not tested positive to c-19 and who are feeling “fine” or “ok”  is necessary in case they have antibodies to c-19 which can be a threat to others. While this is a complete reversal of the quarantine principle, taking it from practical and sensible and logical behavior to what is called insane behavior, it is believed necessary in order to keep everyone safe. While it is argued by the minority that insane safety-protocols will not result in “safety” the majority apparently doesn’t think so or else they would have said so which is clearly not the case. Just go outside and take a look.

 

30: The “virus” is causing all of the edicts being pronounced-under-threat by government. Not the government. The pandemic is making you wear a mask and becoming poverty stricken and isolated and devoid of grandchildren and grandparents and devoid of a life-force or spirit-to-live or sense of hope. Not humans in authority. The virus is doing it. The pandemic has ripped the Constitution and the United States into an overnight, never-ending clownhouse of lunatic officials, and despairing prisoners of lunatic-officials’ entrance into the Second Dark Age of Western Civilization. A virus is doing it. Not other people.

And this is what we know for certain about covid-19.

Thank you.

From soft sales and even negative growth at some companies, to the specter of businesses collapsing in the face of Coronavirus, to sudden sales spikes and even triple-digit growth, 2020 has been a whiplash year for the motorcycle industry.

Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, red flags were waving in many pockets of motorcycle commerce according to Forbes.com, and there was a growing dark cloud hovering over the industry, generated in large part by one particular problem: Not enough new riders are buying motorcycles and replacing those that are leaving the sport.

“There have been many reasons postulated for the shrinking ridership numbers and flagging sales, from Millennials being more risk (and motorcycle) averse, to smartphone addiction to enthusiasts aging out of the market,” wrote Forbes contributor Bill Roberson in his article; “The Motorcycle Industry Was At A Crossroads, Then COVID-19 Changed Up The Map”.

When the pandemic hit, something very interesting happened: Motorcycle and bicycle sales started climbing, often at double-digit rates. “It made sense on some levels, since anyone returning to work or life in general was avoiding ride share and mass transit like the plague (sorry) and many ex-riders suddenly rediscovered their mothballed two-wheeled conveyances – or decided to buy new ones,” surmised Roberson, adding that as people began to return to workplaces, suddenly motorcycles, scooters and bicycles became viable options.

Besides being a socially distanced activity anyway, added benefits like discounted tolls, free parking (in non-car spaces) and HOV lane access for motorcycles could help drive even more people to give motorcycles a go.

Also, motorcycle industry insider Robert Pandya told Roberson that many cities experienced an unusual phenomenon unseen in decades: literally no vehicle traffic.

“And the new crop of electric machines, along with the surge in adult-sized small-displacement motorcycle options give perspective riders more to consider than what has long been the primary market focus in the U.S.: selling large displacement, high-margin motorcycles,” explains Roberson.

Pandya noted that businesses and repair shops have experienced some “exceptional months.”

But while the latest boost is good news, the big question is; can it be sustained? Will the sudden high tide of bike and motorcycle sales result in a renaissance for that kind of personal transportation? “We find ourselves in this industry on our heels, and you can look in the rearview mirror all you want,” Pandya told Forbes.com, “but I think the access to technology and design, and our marketing abilities, speaks to this awesome opportunity to go from seven percent [of people riding motorcycles] to eight percent.” Just that small of a rise in ridership could be enough to swing the fortunes and future of the motorcycle industry.

Helmet use by U.S. motorcyclists has trended higher over the past decade, according to a new government survey.

According to the U. S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS) is the only survey that provides nationwide probability-based observed data on motorcyclist helmet use in the United States.

The NOPUS is conducted by NHTSA on an annual basis and the findings of the survey over the past ten years show a gradually increasing trend in the use of helmets by motorcycle riders.

According to the NHTSA survey, helmet use nationwide increased among motorcyclists from 54.3% of all riders (including passengers) in 2010 to 70.8% in 2019. In states with a mandatory helmet law, helmet use among riders was 89.2% in 2019, while in all other states — those that only require helmet use for specific riders, helmet use was 56.5%.

On a regional basis in 2019, riders in the West helmeted up most often, with helmet use noted among 83.7% of those observed. The south was next at 74.6%, followed by the northeast region at 74.1%, and the Midwest at only 43.4%.

Having a passenger aboard is an apparent factor in increased helmet use by the driver, with 79.7% of riders wearing a helmet when they have a passenger compared to 74% when riding solo, based on the data for 2019.

In an international effort to improve road safety for motorcyclists, a number of motorcycle manufacturers are co-operating to connect motorcycles with other vehicles and infrastructure.

In the Connected Motorcycle Consortium (CMC), motorcycle manufacturers BMW, Honda, KTM and Yamaha work together to develop new standards and techniques to connect motorcycles with other vehicles and infrastructure.

CMC started in 2016, because C-ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport System) specifications for passenger cars had not taken motorcycle specific safety factors and challenges into consideration sufficiently. The consortium aims at joining forces between motorcycle manufacturers, suppliers, research institutes and associations, to make motorcycles part of the future connected mobility.

The first goal was to define a first ‘basic specification’ for motorcycles to connect and ‘talk the same language’ to other vehicles or infrastructure by means of wireless communication. The next move will be CMC ‘NEXT’ with a wider scope, as motorcycle experts will be looking at further improvements of the specification while at the same time taking account of new functions supported by on-board sensors both in cars and in motorcycles.

“I am very glad that the motorcycle industry has joined forces to develop these specifications,” commented FEMA (Federation of European Motorcyclists’ Associations) General Secretary Dolf Willigers, adding that “The new technologies that are involved here will assist the car drivers in their task and by doing so will make the road safer for motorcyclists.”

~ Smartphones – especially when connected via the upcoming, powerful 5G network – could be a major part of the solution, transmitting information between nearby vehicles.

~ Inspired by military headgear, U.S. manufacturers are designing smart helmets for PTWs, with cameras for traffic in front of and behind the driver and LEDs projecting warnings on the visor.

~ Researchers point to the value of intelligent speed controllers.

A number of manufacturers have already presented various innovations towards a fully operational C-ITS:

~ BMW’s ConnectedRide, introduced in 2016, warns bikers when a car comes into the blind spot of their rearview mirror.

~ KTM is working on a Blind Spot Detection system, using short-range radar.

~ Ducati has collaborated with Audi on C-V2X technology warning drivers of a collision when near a crossing or behind a driver who suddenly brakes.

What’s missing for now is the required infrastructure, and the regulatory obligation for all vehicles to be equipped with such systems. The European Commission has launched an EU-wide strategy for C-ITS, facilitating investments and exploring the rules required.

No, it’s not the plot-line from a sci-fi movie, Honda has filed one of the wildest patents of the year, with an idea for a motorcycle that is partly controlled directly by the power of thought!

Of course, all motorcycles are already controlled by the ‘power’ of the mind – the rider ‘thinks’ and the brain sends messages to our limbs that control the bike – but this latest patent for a “mind control motorcycle” shows that Honda thinks there is a more efficient way to do that, with signals from the brain directly affecting the bike’s behavior.

“Honda’s wacky idea is not that you think ‘left’ and the bike steers to the left; this system is more about changing the bike’s settings and assistance systems,” according to VisorDown.com, going on to explain; “Within the rider’s helmet, there are a set of neural sensors that can pick up the stream of thoughts from the rider’s brain. The messages are then sent to the bike’s onboard computer which deciphers the messages and adjusts the required setting in accordance with the demands of the rider.”

EURO 5 IS COMING

Despite pleas from the motorcycle industry and European manufacturers to delay implementation until 2022, particularly due to COVID-19 lockdowns, factory shutdowns and supply chain slowdowns, “Euro 5” is due to come into force January 1. 2021, forcing bike makers to meet ever-increasingly stringent emissions regulations worldwide.

As the name suggests, Euro 5 is the fifth set of European standards for motorcycles aimed at reducing air pollutants produced by two-wheelers incrementally over the years since Euro 1 in 1999, and every few years since the standards have tightened. As time goes by, the EU’s regulations have grown to include safety systems (ABS, traction control) and other technology as well.

Wonder why two-stroke engines have disappeared, why carburetors have been replaced by electronic fuel injection, or why ABS is becoming standard even on lowly beginner bikes? Thank Euro5 and its predecessors.

Today, either directly or indirectly, European regulations are responsible for many decisions in the development of new motorcycles. Because of how strict the standards are and how influential the European market is to the entire global motorcycle industry, Euro 5 will essentially be the de facto worldwide standard.

It’s easier for the OEMs to make one bike for the whole world, instead of a dozen variations for differing regional regulations.

Euro 5 means we can expect another imminent cull and extensive redesigns as current Euro 4-legal models are revamped or replaced to suit the stricter new tailpipe limits, and air-cooled engines are inevitably threatened each time there’s a new bout of emissions restrictions.

Of course, Euro5 isn’t the end, either. In coming years, we’ll see Euro5+ enacted; all new models sold after 2025 must meet that even stricter standard. Look for new exhaust regulations, as well as changes to the rules around OBD2 code sensors, and even weight restrictions — and expect technological advances, to meet all the new rules. The EU’s rule changes may be killing off some much-loved models, but they’re also forcibly moving the industry forward.

The city of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, was motivated by race when it created a new traffic plan designed to “suck the fun” out of Black Bike Week, a federal jury has found.

Civil rights groups accused the city of racially discriminating against the Black tourists by treating them differently than white bikers who attend Harley Week earlier each May, citing in particular a 23-mile one-way no-exit traffic chute that funnels them out of town during the peak nights of Atlantic Beach Bikefest, otherwise known as Black Bike Week. The city also puts up barricades and increases its police presence in ways that don’t apply to the mostly white bikers during their event, NAACP attorneys said.

The jurors — five Black and four white — deliberated for more than three hours before delivering their verdict, on December 10, agreeing that “race was a motivating factor,” but they also sided against the black bikers, saying Myrtle Beach probably “would have made the same decision anyway, even if it had not considered race in its official actions regarding Black Bike Week.”

Hood ornaments have gone by the wayside for most automakers, but the heyday of chrome and glass came in the Art Deco ’30s. Several brands offered similar themes of athletic animals, famous (literal) figureheads, or the female form. Here are just seven of our favorites, we’re sure you’ll recognize quite a few.

Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy

Perhaps one of the most famous hood ornaments, this stunning form looks ready to take on any boulevard at great speed.

Cadillac’s Flying Goddess

Rolls-Royce wasn’t alone in placing a wind-swept woman at the leading edge of its gorgeous machines.

Chevrolet, DeSoto, and Nash all had variations on the theme, but we think Cadillac’s ever-changing goddess looked great through several iterations. The one at the top of the page is from one of Cadillac’s late ’30s V-16 flagships.

Stutz Hood Ornament

This late’20s and early-’30s ornament that topped the radiator cap of Stutz cars represents the Egyptian go of the sun, Ra. Seems proper for a convertible or roadster, no?

Willy’s Knight Hood Ornament

This guy would never make it with today’s passenger safety standards, considering he looks like he’s just itching to joust with a jaywalker.

Duesenberg Frederick Bazin Pegasus Hood ornament

This striking Art Deco Pegasus is a fitting mascot for the large, powerful Duesenbergs of the early ’30s. It’s a steed that could allow the rider brave enough to nearly take flight. Our very own ace shooter, Matt Tierney, spotted this pair of them at last year’s Arizona Auction Week.

Bugatti Dancing Elephant Hood Ornament

Rembrandt Bugatti designed the dancing elephant mascot that was used even before the distinctive oval macaron emblem that it is paired with above. The fanciful design manages to make the world’s largest land animal seem graceful.

Pontiac Chief Hood Ornament

Pontiac called upon the memory of the war chief that led the Odawa against the British with a number of emblems and ornaments before eventually switching to an arrowhead design. The hood ornament here, from 1934, depicted his whole body, lunging forward, but the chief would later become more stylized in other Pontiacs.

Check out these for additional hood ornament majesty, from the same era. Bonus points if you can name them all in the comments, and if we missed your favorite, be sure to share it with us and tell us why it’s the ultimate front-end eye candy.

At Bikernet, we like hood girls and have fun with them whenever possible. Here’s a classic, that makes me smile even on a hot day crossing a desert on the Mudflap FXR.–Bandit 

You won’t find a longer unfaired race bike in the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame museum than the BSA that carried Earl Bowlby to national hillclimb fame.

When he retired from competition after the 1990 season, Bowlby had captured 10 AMA Hillclimb national championships, plus six Canadian titles. He was inducted to the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1999.

Bowlby was an unlikely champion. In 1972, tasked with explaining the sport of hillclimb to Cycle magazine readers, journalist Frank Conner traveled to Bowlby’s home state of Ohio.

He reported that professional hillclimbers come in many shapes and sizes and range in age from early 20s to late 40s.

But Bowlby, wearing his traditional BSA windbreaker, stood out. One of his competitors described the seemingly low-key 37-year-old.

“He looks like a school teacher, but he rides like a maniac,” he said. “He never lets on what he’s thinking or how determined he really is, but he’ll try some stuff that nobody else will try, and somehow he gets away with it.”

In those days, pro hillclimbers were divided into two engine classes: Formula B, for 500cc overhead-valve engines or 750cc side-valve engines; and Formula A, for 750cc overhead-valve or 1,100cc side-valve engines.

Photos from the AMA Archives

Bowlby’s nitromethane-burning A65 twin, with its punched-out cylinders and stroker crank, displaced 782cc. The bike developed around 150 horsepower and weighed about 250 pounds.

What appears to be an oversized hub is actually a front brake.

“Well, it’s a front brake, and it works,” Bowlby said. “That’s all that’s required.”

Conner described Bowlby’s winning technique.

“Bowlby studies The Hill, grabs the clutch and punches the shift lever into gear. He revs the throttle with slow, steady motions of his wrist, building up a rhythm.

“The throttle hits the stop one last time, and he eases out the clutch for an unimpressive start. But the bike gains speed, and it thunders on a slanting course across the steep shale.

“Then, it reaches the ledges. The rear end lifts, starts to slide sideways—as so many of the other bikes have done this afternoon.

“The throttle pitch changes slightly, and the bike straightens up again, gaining speed on a straight course through the nightmarish ruts, finally disappearing ahead of billowing clouds of dust.

“The engine runs strong—and it keeps running long enough to reach the top of the hill. A moment later, the announcer reports, ‘The time: 8.72 seconds.’”

On that day—and so many others—no one was quicker up the hill than Earl Bowlby.

The AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame museum is on the AMA campus in Pickerington, Ohio, and is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week. Admission for AMA members is free.

I’ve built a number of bikes and maybe I was just lucky. With the Pandemic not so lucky. Trouble getting it started in Sturgis, so we brought it home and sent the Morris Magneto back to Deadwood Custom Cycles for a check-over.

When I got it back, I retimed the engine, adjusted the carb and kicked. It finally popped. I had all the elements in place, but I wanted to know more. I called Lee Clemens, the owner of Departure Bike Works for over 40 years. Throughout his tenure he built anything and everything, so I asked him for some of his precious time.

First we talked about magnetos. I was instructed to set the points at .016 by Flathead Fern’s son at the swap meet and Lee confirmed it.

(Sidebar: Fern’s son warned about a new bad condenser mag guys were running with a Chevy logo stamped in the side. They are a cheap Chinese product and won’t last. Beware.)

Lee added something. He gets hard-starting old Sportsters on a regular basis. He removes the point plate carefully and with a Scotch brite pad cleans the magnet plates and armature of any rust. They fire right up.

Jason Mook at Deadwood Custom Cycles told me that mags can lose their magnetic charge, and that makes sense, if a magneto sits around in the wrong position for an extended period of time. He also said the charge can be reenergized in a few minutes by spinning the amateur.

Okay, I checked the marks on the flywheels to make sure the slot was 35 degrees before top dead center on the front cylinder, but Lee warned that finding TDC and backing down to the timing slot was not the way to go because of gear lash. You want the flywheels to come up to the slot, not back down to it.

The advanced mark should show up with the front piston 7/16 of an inch before TDC. Make sure to use something that won’t break off in the cylinder. I’ll bet JIMS has a special tool.

Lee also suggested timing the locked-down mag slightly retarded. Don’t want to break a leg. I use an ohm meter on distributors to set the points to just beginning to open. Lee suggested the cellophane wrapper off a pack of smokes. He wants the thin material to just drag out from the points where you lock it down.

It’s interesting. We never set up a mag to be retarded or advanced. I don’t know of any magneto mounting plate that allows retarded and advanced positions, but I bet there is one. We will get more into that, when we discuss the Dicey Knucklehead.

Regarding the carb, this has a M-35 Linkert rebuilt by Mike Egan, 20 years ago with next to no mileage and hopefully no Ethanol fuel. Lee suggested 4 turns out on the low range jet. Linkerts don’t have accelerator pumps, so jerking on the throttle doesn’t do anything. You need to use the choke.

He suggested no ignition and kicking it four times with the choke closed and the throttle open to pull fuel into the cylinders without any spark. Then opening the choke slightly and the throttle at quarter open and kicking.

I started to check everything again. Lee also confirmed that to find the timing mark easily take the front intake pushrod all the way up, and as it starts to close, start looking into the hole for the slot. Just after the valve closes the slot will appear. In this case the wheels contained a round indent at top dead center for the front cylinder.

Okay, we timed it again. Still wouldn’t start. Took the float bowl off and cleaned all the jets. Here’s where we started to learn more about Linkerts. We got it to deliver fuel and pop out through the carb on each kick. Lee said it was too advanced. We adjusted and kicked some more.

Magnetos are so cool in some respects but positioning them and clearance can have issues. Maybe that’s why they don’t have retard and advance plates. There’s not enough room for them to turn.

Lee said the copper float bowls in Linkerts were bullshit and to replace it. The adjustment must be perfect at ¼-inch from the edge of the float casting to the float bowl ring. He also said the float needle must hold air for 10 seconds or the float will flood the carb.

If you wash the cylinders down with fuel, it will destroy a set of rings in a hot flash. He also mentioned a small stapled book about Linkerts. I will try to find one. The Linkert carb bible.

The next day we discussed oil tanks, venting and external vents. When I kicked the Pandemic the rubber oil cap popped out. There is a feed line to the oil pump and a return line, no problem right. Then there is a vent line from the cam chest to the oil tank, but that doesn’t mean the oil cap needs to be vented like a gas cap.

 Later engines had a vent off the case behind the oil pump. There is a solution for this line. “It should be at least a foot long and not contain any goofy filter at the end,” said Lee. There’s a pulse of air being released. If the line is too short and you’re riding on dusty roads, it can suck dirt into the engine. A 1-foot line should be fed to the ground, the primary chain or the rear chain.

Okay, I asked Kent Weeks of Lucky Devil Metalworks about oil tanks and he brought up a couple of items to check. He wants me to check the compression and the valves again. If compression is weak or the top end leaking, that can add addition pressure in the cam case that can push into breather and into the oil bag. It can also be caused if Evo head breathers aren’t doing their job.

We also discussed starting fresh engines and how the drive gear on the circuit breaker lines up with the intermediate gear in the cam case. If there’s slop there the timing will change. Kent said he ran into two recent examples in his shop, Lucky Devil Metalworks in Houston. One was a Pan and the other an early Shovelhead. One would run one day and not the next, because the timing shifted so much.

Get this, he wanted to take the Pan for a test ride. It was on his lift, so he climbed up and kicked it. It kicked back and launched him into the air. He came down and his knee took the brunt against a fishtip exhaust pipe tearing the flesh as he fell. Then his lower back got tweaked against unforgiving concrete on the slick deck.

That’s not all. The open shop door revealed folks outside, but no one seemed to notice, so he crawled over, slid the door shut and lay back down on the concrete in abject pain. After a while he struggled to a couch. Then the phone rang. It was one of the girls in the complex office. “Can you come over,” she said frightened. “This badass is coming and threatening me.”

“I need a break,” Kent said. “Can you handle it?”

A minute later she called back. “I’m really concerned.”

This time Kent explained what went down and how he peeled the skin away from his kneecap. “Please,” she uttered.

“Okay,” Kent said. “I’ll come over, but if he acts up there’s nothing I can do but to shoot him. If you’re alright with that I’m coming.”

Kent hobbled to the office armed and sat in the corner. Not long after he arrived the door opened and Billy badass stumbled in using crutches. His leg was badly bandaged. Seems someone else just shot him.

Meanwhile back at the Pandemic in Wilmington, California, we removed the magneto and put it in a vice and spun the bastard with a machined Allen wrench chunk. It fired like a champ. We installed, timed it and still nothing.

I had prepared for an alternate contingency and found a used classic auto-advance mag from Flathead Fern. He checked it out and installed points and a condenser. I was concerned about my ’46 Knuck. It wasn’t starting and held another Morris Magneto. It was a monster with a retard unit attached for easy firing. You don’t need to kick these units hard, just nice and easy.

I took the S&S Shorty off and it was a mess. I cleaned the jets, the accelerator pump, checked the float and it started to work. I added a new foam filter from a shop vac to the Fantasy in Iron air cleaner and it worked like a champ with the help of the Redhead.

I put it back together and corrected the mounting some, replace the fuel filter and turned on the gas.

Fuel ran everywhere, so I shut it off and fixed the leaky accelerator pump cap.

I didn’t touch the mag and it fired to life immediately. Dave from Morris Mags and I installed that mag in the mid-’90s. It’s never been touched. Amazing.

So, when it came to the Pandemic we wondered which way to turn. I spent some change on two auto-advance circuit breakers, one new re-pop from Twin Power. It was cool but the base was wrong, but workable.

I installed a coil on the Pandemic and made up another set of sparkplug wires. I fashioned an old, modified bracket for the coil around my funky wiring system. I also had to add an ignition switch, wire the coil and buy and install a small battery.

I put it all together and timed the bike. It fired on the first kick. Every time after that when attempting to fire the bike, it hit on the first kick, after choking the carb. Amazing.

 

Well as I age my hearing is not as good as it once was and rolling down the highway does not help the sounds coming from my stereo making it to my ears.

 Okay, I may be a little spoiled but I do like music and I like to listen to it while riding.

I just got a real cool new helmet and you can see the article on it at: https://www.bikernet.com/pages/HARLEY_VANOCKER_SO8_FULL_FACE_HELMET.aspx

 To make things even better I got a H-D 30 K Boom Audio System to go with it.

 The Boom! Audio 30K Bluetooth Headset is Harley-Davidson’s flagship wireless headset engineered to simplify and extend wireless communication. The 30K Headset comes with two modules (1 Bluetooth and 1 Mesh) and offers an exceptional integrated experience when paired to the new Boom Box Radio

 My motorcycle is a 2009 FLHTC and has been modified to use Bluetooth but does not have a Boom Radio, so not all of the features work with my system. I did get to ride a motorcycle with the Boom Radio and try out those features as well and this is definitely the way to go if you like music, have a GPS, want to use your phone, talk to other riders etc.

If you have a motorcycle with a Boom Box infotainment system you can also add a Wireless Headset Interface Module (WHIM) which is sold separately to configure your headset through the motorcycles screen.

 Without the WHIM, you can control your 30K through available hands-free voice commands or the glove friendly jog dial menu navigation.

 If you prefer to use earbuds, there is an available earbud port in the base.

 The kit includes headset, additional earpads, microphones and all installation hardware.

 My son Dale has one on his helmet and agreed to help install this one on mine.

Because I was using the Boom Audio on a full-face helmet, Dale removed the back plate of the clamp unit, removed the boom microphone, installed the wired microphone making sure to Lock the microphone to the clamp, reattached the back plate to cover the microphone and the speaker port.

 

Being careful he inserted the back plate of the clamp unit between the internal padding and the external shell of the helmet, and tightened the two screws. Note: Depending on the size and shape of your helmet, you may need to change the thickness of the rubber pad between the clamp plates using the two extra rubber pads in the box. To increase the overall thickness, attach the thinner one to the original rubber pad or replace the original

 

The Vanocker helmet has a removable foam insert and was unsnapped to place the helmet speakers along with the hook and loop fasteners, centered to my ear, in the ear pockets of the helmet. If the helmet has deep ear pockets, you can use the speaker pads to place the speakers closer to your ears. Note: Hook Fastener • The speaker with the shorter wire is for the left ear and the speaker with the longer one is for the right ear. • To enhance the audio quality, you can make use of the foam speaker covers. Cover each speaker with the foam and attach the hook fastener at the back of the speaker. Then place the speakers in the helmet as described above. Foam covered speakers work most effectively when they are slightly touching your ears.

 

Hook and loop fasteners that come with the unit are used to route and keep the wiring in place. Dale used an ice cream stick to push the extra wiring into the helmet between the padding and the shell.

Though the headset comes with a charge in it, it had been charging while the helmet was being worked on. Depending on how much charge is the unit it can be fully charged in about 1.5 hours and give 13 hours of service or more. Note: • The headset includes a Fast Charging feature which allows it to charge quickly over a short period of time. For example, a user can get 5 hours of talk time after charging the headset for 20 minutes. • Any 3rd party USB charger can be used with Harley-Davidson products if the charger is approved by either the FCC, CE, IC or other locally approved agencies that Harley Davidson accepts.

 Checking the Battery Level There are two ways to check battery level, visually, with LEDs when powering on and audible method: press and hold the Phone Button and Jog Dial for more than 5 seconds as the headset powers on. A prompt will announce the remaining battery level. Note: When the battery is low while in use, you will hear a voice prompt saying “Low battery”.

 The Boom Bluetooth System comes with instructions, a Quick Start Guide, links to users guides and even a way to update it should you ever need to do that.

 I have had the opportunity to put some miles on wearing this helmet with the Boom Audio and I am Very Happy With It and I think you will as well.
