BIKERNET PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR–Margarita? Margaritas! Hey, wait for me, I want one (or more) too. Glad you’re kickin’ back some. Any idea when that book’s coming out? I’ve read all the Bonneville updates. What a great time! No new bike for next year?
You should at least give the Salt Shaker and Assalt Weapan a chance for a threesome. Got some friends riding down from N.Y. for Biketoberfest. It’s like a last ride for them before the north becomes a frozen tundra. It’s gonna be sad, one of the guys just lost his wife to cancer. Great girl, we’ll miss her smiling face. We’re hoping the ride will help clear his head.
Anyways, looking forward to hearing about your “projects” for next year.

Here’s a rough list of bike projects: I’m still collecting parts for my Mudflap girl bike. I’m thinking about a flathead 80 engine. I’m looking around, and I need to decide on a frame. A substantial list looms for the Assalt Weapan. I’m waiting on the Departure Bike Works’ hop-up of our 45 cu. in. flathead and Sportster transmission for the Bonne Belle. I’m building a touring FXR for Nyla’s brother, Brad. And Kent, at Lucky Devil’s Metal Works in Houston is building a shrunken bobber with a H-D Evo Driveline, a Kraft Tech rigid and a VL front end for Nyla. She deserves it. It’s my job to document each and every build.
You’ll see us finish the 45 this year, fix the Assalt Weapan and build Nyla and Brad’s bike. That’s enough. I’ll put the Mudflap girl bike together in 2009. I need to finish my first Chance Book. Hang on.–Bandit

CANADIAN COLORS CASE GOES TO COURT– In what is believed to be a provincial first, a trial date has been set for a Hells Angels member who was charged for wearing his club colors in a bar, in violation of Saskatchewan’s new colors ban.
Richard Bandet, 34, is charged with the ticket offence under a provision of the Safer Communities And Neighbourhoods Act (SCAN) that makes it against the law to wear “gang colours” in licensed establishments like bars. Under the act, “colours” refers to “any sign, symbol, logo or other representation identifying, associated with or promoting a gang or a criminal organization.”
On June 9, during the same weekend as a poker run involving the club, Moose Jaw Police were checking local bars for SCAN infractions when they noticed a biker wearing his colors.
Under SCAN, those found guilty of a first offence under the gang colors section of the legislation face a maximum $10,000 fine and/or one year in jail. Subsequent offences carry a maximum fine of $25,000 and/or one year in jail.

CONNECTICUT ATTACKS BIKES FOR PIPES–Be careful this weekend as you ride, since many bikers have recently been ticketed for excessive noise. Here’s a site on noise standards in Connecticut: Ride Safe, –Rogue I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AT CLUB SLEAZE 2.0 IN PHOENIX–We have a spectacular show planned and are going to debut a couple of new songs from our forthcoming THIRD Big Cock Release “Motherload” (which is stated for release in the first part of 2008). Club Sleaze 1.0 was sold-out to capacity so we moved 2.0 to a larger venue. The booze and debauchery will be happening FRIDAY night September 28th at the plush Martini Ranch in Scottsdale, (South of Camelback and Scottsdale roads). Get there early if you want to get in. Good Times for all! HOT GIRLS MAG FROM THE HOT BIKE CREW–Hey, check his out the latest and greatest to come out the Hot Bike cave. It?s on the newsstands now! Can you believe it, they were dumb enough to let Ernie and I off our leashes to put together another issue of Hot Girls and we nailed this one (pardon the pun). Yeah there are bike?s inside but I don?t think many people will even notice them. You gotta check out Jaimie Nicole, buxom brunette from Vegas who likes to play. Oh yeah and I can?t forget Jordan, this little thing mmm…mmm… Just turn to pg.38 you?ll see what I?m talking about?damn fine little butt on that girl! Ooh yeah, Don?t let Sin Wu see you scoping the bubbly blonde duo, Jackie and Mary?she just might rip yer eyeball out. Hell, even if Sin Wu did pop out your peepers in a fit of jealousy, at least your last sight would be these two sexy kittens! Hey, if the mag doesn’t arrive in a polybag that means that rat bastard postman of yours swiped the behind the scenes DVD we packaged with it. Smart man, though, cause this flick?s got the girls movin? and shakin? all their naughty bits. I had to buy a new DVD player?wore out the lens. Let me know what ya think –Eric Ellis SMOKE OUT WEST SPONSORED BY BIKERNET.COM UPDATE–As those that have attended a Smoke Out in the last thee years know, the Chop Off and voting for the Chop Off winner is a big deal. I talked with all three Chop Off builders today. The bikes for this event are sick. They are all radical builds. Not to give too much way but I have to share a few details. Adam Chandler from Chandler Originals is weighing in with a single-sided-rigid- frame, fitted with a 1949 Ford rear wheel. Adam chose a shovelhead engine. I am dying to see this thing. Bikernet will have pics posted shortly after the Smoke Out. Wes White from Four Aces is weighing in with a 47 Flathead married up to a 4 speed British tranny in a Chopper Dave inspired fashion. He is peppering the build with some British bits to make what he calls, ?kind of a Zero Engineering type show bike.? Steve ?BrewDude? Garn of Brew Bikes, LLC built a 45 Magnum from days gone by. Randy Smith did a series of articles in 1971 and 1972 about taking a Flathead bottom end and using a 900 Sportster top-end. Brewdude has over 300 hours into the engine including fabricating a crank. I can?t think a of another place where crazy builds like this can be appreciated more. Come by the event and cast your vote. The Smoke Out is the world?s largest Chopper Rally and will be held October 5-7 on the Verde Valley Fairground in Cottonwood, AZ (20 minutes South of Sedona). The event will start Friday – October 5, 2007 from 5pm to 11pm. Saturday, 10am to 11pm and Sunday, 10am to 4 pm. For more information (or a vender packet) check the website SmokeOutRally.com website or venders call e-mail Edge at edge.42@mac.com. See ya there. –Edge LA CHOP RODS DISTRIBUTES ISR CONTROLS?THEY?RE IN STOCK–Gard Hollinger, of LA Chop Rods, In Los Angeles distributes the new breed of ISR race bred brakes and controls from Sweden.

A brother asked if Bikernet was going to keep us entertained during the winter-no-riding season and that hit home. Just ?cause we?re adjusting our plans and I may not build a bike for myself next year, doesn?t mean Bikernet won?t be hopping. We?ll cover everything that moves, if we can. More Bikernet Television shows and interviews will hit the site. More features, more fiction and more girls will fly onto the site. We?re working with two other players, Johnny Humble and Jeff Najar to launch stories, so more material can hit the pages of Bikernet without my involvement. Plus you?ll see the improvements to the Assalt Weapan and the Bonne Belle come together. Plus I?m hoping to work with Redneck Engineering and create a custom touring machine capable of long miles. Looks like we’ll install a Bandit clutch. Hey, and if you have a suggestion, a tech you want covered, a girl shot (sorry) or a bike featured, speak up. We’ll try to move fast. Yep, we’ll be working all winter and delivering it to you. Ride Forever, –Bandit
