Hey,
Big day today. We had a final walk through with the movers yesterday. The first time they were too distracted with the motorcycles and didn’t get the picture, but that’s alright. I got the notion, the suggestions and the code. I knew what I had to do and the redhead has been a great help.
I’m also starting to read Marc Morano’s new book about the Green New Deal and socialism in American. Everyone should read this and read Patrick Moore’s new Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom. Life is going to change in America and it will no longer be the best of times if we don’t wake up and get involved.
There are two premises at play here. Threats of doom and control freaks. Some folks are constantly hunting for more control over you. Think about the High School Principle who wanted to shove everyone around. Think about the boss you had, who wanted to control and badger you, but had serious problems of his own. Now, there are folks in government who want ultimate control.
They are using Climate as their excuse, but unfortunately they are wrong about doomsday and fossil fuels, seriously wrong. So, of course, they won’t allow anyone else to come forward with the facts. This is supposed to be America, land of the free, but that won’t matter if rats come before humans.
At one time bikers made up one of the largest activist groups in the country. We were right up there with the NRA. We fought hard for freedom to choose to wear a helmet or not. We won until a control freak (Joan Claybrook) took over the DOT and came up with the public burden theory, so she could take our freedom again. We faced an uphill battle gallantly and in many states succeeded.
I never understood the media. They supported helmet laws and taking our freedoms. But the media relies on freedom or there would be no media just government propaganda. Hell, you might also read a book I wrote in 1999, Sam Chopper Orwell. It explains what’s happing in biker style. Hang on.
You’ll see this topic pop-up numerous times in the news. It’s not about exhaust smoke and plastic containers. It’s about honesty, freedom and good times. Let’s hit the news.

California is also seeking restoration of its emissions authority
California’s two U.S. senators are urging President Joe Biden to set a firm date to phase-out gas-powered passenger vehicles as the White House grapples with how to rewrite vehicle emissions rules slashed under President Donald Trump.
In an unreported letter going to Biden Monday, Democratic Sens. Alex Padilla and Dianne Feinstein called on Biden “to follow California’s lead and set a date by which all new cars and passenger trucks sold be zero-emission vehicles.” They also urged Biden to restore California’s authority to set clean car standards.
ADVERTISEMENT
In September, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order directing the state’s air resources agency to require all new cars and passenger trucks sold in California to be zero-emission by 2035.
Biden’s campaign in 2020 declined to endorse a specific date to end gas-powered vehicle sales, but he has vowed to dramatically boost electric vehicles and charging stations.
In January, Biden said the administration would replace the federal government’s fleet of 650,000 vehicles “with clean electric vehicles made right here in America made by American workers.”
The senators also say Biden should use a compromise deal that California struck with automakers including Ford Motor Co, Honda Motor, BMW AG and Volkswagen AG that falls between the Trump administration and Obama-era requirements.
“We believe the national baseline should, at an absolute minimum, be built around the technical lead set by companies that voluntarily advanced their agreements with California,” Padilla, who replaced Vice President Kamala Harris in the Senate, and Feinstein wrote in the letter seen by Reuters. “California and other states need a strong federal partner.”
Shortly after taking office, Biden ordered U.S. agencies to revisit fuel efficiency standards by July.
The Trump administration in March 2020 finalized a rollback of fuel economy standards to require 1.5% annual increases in efficiency through 2026, well below the 5% yearly boosts in Obama-administration rules it discarded.
Then-President Donald Trump repeatedly targeted California, a Democratic bastion that tangled with Trump on multiple fronts during his tenure.
The Center for Biological Diversity estimates the California deal improves fuel economy 3.7% year over year between 2022-2026.
Biden also directed the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration by April to reconsider Trump’s 2019 decision to revoke California’s authority to set its own auto tailpipe emissions standards and require rising numbers of zero-emission vehicles.
A White House spokesman declined to comment Sunday on the timing of any announcement on California’s vehicle authority.
The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, a trade group representing major automakers, declined comment Sunday but last month backed nationwide rules to achieve vehicle emissions reductions roughly midway between the Trump and Obama standards.

THE GEARHEAD TECH—Some of my parts to add to the Gypsy Belle. I cut down a pair of handlebar risers off Big George’s old chopper to fit to the height I need for my bike. I wanted to add 1-inch more to my ape hangers.
The other parts are header flange covers for the exhaust. These were custom made because nobody manufactures these parts anymore.
The first time I saw these, they were on old lowriders back in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. They were called Lake Pipes. They should look good once welded in place and chromed out.
This is part of the dual exhaust fishtail system I am making with old and new parts for the Gypsy Belle.

https://www.bikernet.com/pages/Movie_Mystery_Bike_Solved_the__Mickey_Rourke_Black_Death.aspx
Thanks Jim Grant for getting the story Corrected for once…Sammy and his Mechanic “Greg Vetter” are the ones that Built the Bikes for the Movie…
Sammy called me one day and said he had a set of Fatbob Tanks and a License Plate that were going to be
on a Bike for the Movie…
HARLEY-DAVIDSON and the MARLBORO MAN
and they needed them for the Closeup Shots !
So Sammy brought me the set that was already Painted and wanted me to copy the Artwork.
No problem…but he needed them done by Monday (it was Friday evening)…No problem Bro!
Sammy said it was a “B” Rated Movie and probably won’t even make it to the Big Screen…LOL
Well, I finished the job and Sammy picked them up and told me to come check out the Bike’s…they did an Awesome Job! I only took a few pictures of both Bike’s since he didn’t have all the details at the time of the Cast.
Had I known who the Actor’s were, I would have asked for Autographed Pics from the Actor’s!
Anyhow, that’s the Real Story…we All miss Sammy Roth, he was one Cool Brother!

BIKERNET UNIVERSITY ENGLISH DEPARTMENT WORD OF THE DAY–concatenation
[ kon-kat-n-ey-shuhn ]
noun
Concatenation comes straight from the Late Latin noun concatenatio (stem concatenation-) “connection, sequence” (literally “chaining together”), a derivation of catena “chain.” The Italian and Spanish words for “chain” (catena and cadena, respectively) far more closely resemble the Latin original than does the modern French chaîne (the English source for “chain”), which passed through the stages chaeine (Old French), from caeine (Old North French), from Latin catena. Concatenation entered English in the early 17th century.
It took an amazing concatenation of circumstances, from Lyndon Johnson’s withdrawal to Rockefeller’s tergiversations to Humphrey’s disaster at the hands of the left in Chicago, to make him President.
STEWART ALSOP, “NIXON AND THE SQUARE MAJORITY: IS THE FOX A LION?” THE ATLANTIC, FEBRUARY 1972
Before the huge Saturn 1B rocket thundered off its launch pad, the effort had been plagued by an extraordinary concatenation of weather delays, electronic gremlins and other obstacles.

PROJECT TRIUMPH e-powertrain revealed— Williams Advanced Engineering (WAE) developed advanced battery system sets new standards for electric motorcycles
- All-new next-generation lightweight battery and e-powertrain system raises the bar for electric bike performance, efficiency and range
- Advanced cell module specification realises optimum balance between battery power and energy
- Industry-leading technology developed by WAE includes all-new battery management software and integrated vehicle control unit.
Rider benefits include more power for longer, outstanding performance regardless of battery charge, faster charging and optimised bike handling through enhanced frame position.
Project TE-1 is a unique collaboration between expert British design and engineering organisations; this announcement marks the successful completion of second of four development phases
Tuesday, March 23: The all-new battery powertrain developed by Williams Advanced Engineering (WAE) for Triumph Motorcycles’ TE-1 project will set new standards for electric bike performance, with class-leading power, efficiency, charging time and range.
Wholly responsible for TE-1’s lightweight, ground breaking battery system, employing a holistic approach to development will allow riders to use more electric power for longer providing access to outstanding performance regardless of battery charge, alongside rapid charging times.
With styling sketches for the final TE-1 prototype unveiled alongside first images of the innovative advanced electric powertrain, more detail can be revealed on this pioneering project which has now reached the successful completion of phase 2 of its four-phase programme.
Beginning in May 2019, TE-1 has been focused on developing specialist electric motorcycle technology and innovative integrated solutions, thanks to a unique collaboration between four leading British organisations, Triumph Motorcycles, Williams Advanced Engineering, Integral Powertrain Ltd, and WMG at the University of Warwick. Funding has been provided by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles via Innovate UK.
Paul McNamara, Technical Director at Williams Advanced Engineering, said: “WAE has a long history in powering a number of world-renowned electric vehicles, both on track and on the road. Alongside our partners, we are delighted to be playing a key role in this innovative project, setting new standards in electric performance on two wheels.”
Nick Bloor, Triumph CEO, said: “The completion of Phase 2, and the promising results achieved to date, provide an exciting glimpse of the potential electric future and showcase the talent and innovation of this unique British collaboration. This important project will provide one of the foundations for our future electric motorcycle strategy, which is ultimately focused on delivering what riders want from their Triumph; the perfect balance of performance, handling and real world usability, with genuine Triumph character.”
Williams Advanced Engineering has provided industry-leading lightweight battery design and integration capability, using its test and development facilities to deliver an innovative battery management system combined with vehicle control unit. At the start of the project, WAE identified appropriate cell technology and battery architecture to deliver the performance objectives set by the partners, namely the best balance between power and energy.
The battery has been developed to bring two class-leading benefits: the battery can deliver sustained power, matched to the consistent maximum power that the motor can give – whilst the battery can also charge at a faster rate.
WAE has optimized the battery module layout to balance mass and positioning within the prototype chassis taking into consideration center of gravity, space and relationship with the powertrain and charging approach. A new and bespoke vehicle control unit has been integrated into the battery pack to minimize weight and packaging.
QUICK, OPEN THE BANDIT’S CANTINA BAD JOKE LIBRARY—
I don’t always go the extra mile,
but when I do
it’s because I’ve missed my exit.
WIN A KNUCKLEHEAD FROM J&P CYCLES—
Second Prize is a $500.00 J&P Cycles Credit
Third Prize is a $250.00 J&P Cycles Credit.
Even when parked and silent, a Knucklehead Bobber grabs your attention. Stripped of a front fender, the springer fork gets more dramatic, the polished and chromed out motor is front and center. The tanks and top frame tube drive your eyes to the fat rear wheel and fender. Just as in Class C racing, less is more and this is about what a 45 inch WR for dirt track racing would look like, only street legal and a little flashier.
With a couple of prime kicks through the Linkert carb, a third kick and it roars to life, settles to a lope, rumbles through the fishtail straight pipe.
This is a real 1946 Harley-Davidson FL motor, frame and forks, stripped down years ago. Tank trim, badges, even the air cleaner and mirror are period, NOS Harley-Davidson. The taillight, you may notice, is a real PK “limp dick” piece and the dash, dash lights and speedo are original 1946 Harley-Davidson.
Cadmium plated and Parkerized fasteners are styling counterpoints; flash against a subtle industrial finish, set off by just enough chrome plating.
?This Bobber, built over a decade ago, has been fettled, as the Brits say, and has logged 1300 miles by builder David Ohrt since its complete rebuild.
THE UNFORGIVEN IS ALIVE–The television drama ‘Marked-The Unforgiven’, based on the Amazon best seller “Marked” written by George Christie, former president of the Ventura Hell’s Angels in California, will film one of its most emblematic episodes in the Plaza de Toros de Málaga on the day April 19 .
The production company wants to turn the La Malagueta bullring into the setting of a key part of the story , which represents the meeting between the protagonists of the series, members of the Marked-The Unforgiven motorcycle club and the leadership of a dangerous Mexican cartel.
“We are very excited to resume filming this series that is creating such a stir in the city. Especially after so many months on hiatus due to the pandemic. It’s great to see that Spain, and in this case, Malaga, offers the possibility of continuing to work on this great project and helps make it possible “, stated Kristen Bitting, Showrunner for” Marked-The Unforgiven “
For her part, Laura Beltrán, head of communication, explains that all this would not have been possible without the help of the collaboration of the major entities of Malaga: “We are very grateful to the city of Malaga, without which this recording would not be possible. . Especially to Rocía de Uña, from the Málaga Film Office, and Virginia Quero, from the La Malagueta Cultural Center for granting us the possibility of contacting and specifying the details of the recording, and, of course, for making it possible ”.
THE ETHANOL WORD–The latest additive is ethanol, which — without getting into the political and environmental debates about its efficacy — is fine for use in fuel-injected vehicles that are run regularly and designed to use up to 10% ethanol (85% in flex-fuel vehicles).
On the other hand, ethanol-oxygenated fuel is not so great for any vehicles that sit between uses, and/or carbureted engines, like the one in your dirt bike or older motorcycle. Ethanol is alcohol, and alcohol is corrosive to certain parts in older fuel systems.
Alcohol is also “hygroscopic” and likes water, so when water gets into the fuel during a fill-up or from condensation, it can mix with the ethanol, creating a chemical combo that causes rust, corrosion, acids, and sticky varnish that wreak havoc in fuel systems, especially carburetors. Ethanol can even cause rubber parts and fuel lines to dry out, harden and deteriorate prematurely.
Alternatives are few — unless you’re lucky enough to have a fuel supplier or gas station near you that sells ethanol-free gasoline (see pure-gas.com or buyrealgas.com), or you’re OK paying $15-$18 per gallon for ethanol-free gas in cans from a dealer (see vpracingfuels.com), most of us are stuck buying gasoline oxygenated with 10% ethanol.

MORE ON DOOMSDAY–
I was wondering what you thought of this new research report. If sperm count falls so significantly by pollution then how would they account for Asia and Africa where there is plenty more pollution everywhere but no noticeable falling fertility rate. Of course, birth deformities would probably be more in those regions, yet not so much as to disable the next generation completely. –Wayfarer
Human penises are shrinking because of pollution, warns scientist
Dr Shanna Swan has found that chemicals called phthalates used in plastic manufacturing are causing human babies to be born with malformed genitals.
Phathalates mimic the hormone oestrogen and thus disrupt the natural production of hormones in the human body, which researchers have linked to interference in sexual development in infants and behaviours in adults.
The chemical has an industrial use in making plastics more flexible, but Dr Swan says it is being transmitted into toys and foods and subsequently harms human development.
She discovered that male human babies who had been exposed to the phthalates in the womb had a shorter anogenital distance – something that correlated with penile volume.
One study published in 2017 found that sperm levels among men in Western countries had dropped by more than 50% over the past four decades after examining 185 studies involving close to 45,000 healthy men.
Dr Swan believes that the rapidly decreasing fertility rate means that most men will be unable to produce viable sperm by 2045.

Impeaching Joseph R. Biden, President of the United States, for abuse of power by enabling bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 21, 2021
Mrs. Greene of Georgia submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
RESOLUTION
Impeaching Joseph R. Biden, President of the United States, for abuse of power by enabling bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors.
Resolved, That Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States, is impeached for abuse of power by enabling bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate:
Article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for abuse of power by enabling bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors.
article i: abuse of power
The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” and that the President “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”.
In his conduct as the former Vice President and current President of the United States, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the offices of the Vice Presidency and President of the United States, and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, defend, the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed—Joseph Robinette Biden abused the power of the Office of the Vice President, enabling bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors, by allowing his son to influence the domestic policy of a foreign nation and accept various benefits—including financial compensation—from foreign nationals in exchange for certain favors.
As Vice President, Joseph Biden was the senior Obama Administration official overseeing anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine. Hence, any illegal activity involving corruption conducted by Hunter Biden within or in relation to Ukraine would fall under the purview of the Office of Vice President Biden and the Obama State Department’s anti-corruption efforts. In fact, many State Department officials within the Obama Administration repeatedly registered reservations about Hunter Biden’s role on the board of a corrupt company. Thus, any instances of corruption on behalf of Hunter Biden via his role as a board member of the Ukrainian-operated Burisma energy firm were either not investigated or covered up. The evidence of widespread knowledge, corruption, and collusion on behalf of the Biden family with foreign nationals is clear and compelling.
Among other examples, it has been materially demonstrated that:
(1) According to the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance, the Vice President’s office and State Department officials were aware but ignored concerns relating to Hunter Biden’s role on the board of a Ukrainian-based natural gas company (hereafter, “Burisma”).
(2) According to the same sources, Hunter Biden’s and his family’s financial transactions with Ukrainian, Russian, Kazakh, and Chinese nationals raise criminal concerns and extortion threats.
(3) In early 2015 the former Acting Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine, George Kent, raised concerns to officials in Vice President Joe Biden’s office about the perception of a conflict of interest with respect to Hunter Biden’s role on Burisma’s board. Kent’s concerns went unaddressed, and in September 2016, he emphasized in an email to his colleagues, “Furthermore, the presence of Hunter Biden on the Burisma board was very awkward for all U.S. officials pushing an anticorruption agenda in Ukraine.”.
(4) In October 2015, senior State Department official Amos Hochstein raised concerns with Vice President Biden, as well as with Hunter Biden, that Hunter Biden’s position on Burisma’s board enabled Russian disinformation efforts and risked undermining U.S. policy in Ukraine. Vice President Biden did not resolve this conflict of interest. Instead, he enabled it.
(5) In addition to the over $4 million paid by Burisma for Hunter Biden’s board membership, Hunter Biden, and his family received millions of dollars from foreign nationals with questionable backgrounds. Specifically, the ongoing FBI investigation into Hunter Biden’s laptop revealed that Hunter received a 2.8 carat diamond gift from a high-ranking Chinese official in 2017. Hunter Biden told the New Yorker Magazine that he “felt uncomfortable receiving the diamond and gave it to other associates”.
(6) Hunter Biden had business associations with Ye Jianming, founder of the CEFC China Energy Company, Ltd., Gongwen Dong, and other Chinese nationals linked to the Communist government and the People’s Liberation Army. Those associations resulted in millions of dollars in cash flow. There exists a vast web of corporate connections and financial transactions between and among the Biden family and Chinese nationals.
(7) Hunter Biden paid nonresident women who were nationals of Russia or other Eastern European countries and who appear to be linked to an “Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring”.
(8) In 2016, Ukraine’s top anti-corruption prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, had an active and ongoing investigation into Burisma and its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky. At the time, Hunter Biden continued to serve on Burisma’s board of directors. According to news reports, then Vice-President Biden “threatened to withhold $1 billion in United States loan guarantees if Ukraine’s leaders did not dismiss [Shokin]”. After that, Ukraine’s Parliament fired Shokin.
(9) Hunter Biden received millions of dollars from foreign sources as a result of business relationships that he built during the period when his father was Vice President of the United States and after. The financial transactions which Hunter engaged in illustrate serious counterintelligence and extortion concerns relating to Hunter Biden and his family.
(10) Hunter Biden’s work with Chinese nationals connected to the Communist regime illustrate the deep financial connections that accelerated while his father was Vice President and continued after he left office.
(11) On June 23, 2011, Sean Conlon, a business associate of Hunter Biden, suggested that a $10 billion deal could be struck in exchange for certain persons meeting Vice President Biden. This shows deliberate “pay-for-play” and “quid-pro-quo”. The email, in full, to Robert Biden, from Sean Conlon, is as follows:
(A) “So we have engagement letter if they get other 10 bonds they have a face value of 10b. While it is far fetched Devon [Archer] said he talked to his professor and these get traded. We get 10% in fees. We need to get these guys to an event or something where they get to just formally meet your Dad. For follow on they can talk to Chief of Staff. Let me know how soon we can do that. V brief. If Nagi get that done we get more bonds to move. Regards your hard working partner in Positano! Sean” (emphasis added).
(12) Emails between Hunter Biden and his cousin reveal that the President of Hunter’s Chinese Communist Party-linked firm, Eric Schwerin, repeatedly asked Hunter for an appointment to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad—a position he ultimately received. The email from Hunter to his cousin, Missy, regarding the request for the appointment to the Commission is as follows:
(A) “Eric asked for one of these [an appointment] the day after the election in 2008. You know better than me what are real and interesting appointments. Let’s go through the list with Steve and see what makes sense. I don’t know how much 2016 and nepotism plays into it.”.
In all of this, President Biden gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of government. Through blatant nepotism, he enabled his son to influence foreign policy and financially benefit as a result of his role as Vice President. He supported his son engaging in collusion with Chinese Communist Party-linked officials. He allowed his son to trade appointments with his father and other high-ranking administration officials in exchange for financial compensation. He permitted his son to take money from Russian oligarchs, including Elena Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow.
In so doing, Joseph R. Biden threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and imperiled a coordinate branch of government. He thereby betrayed his trust as former Vice President and current President, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore President Biden, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national security, democracy, and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law. President Biden thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.

BIKERNET BOOK OF THE WEEK CLUB—GREEN FRAUD
It’s Here: Morano’s New book: ‘Green Fraud: Why The Green New Deal Is Even Worse Than You Think’ – Arrives March 23
Foreword by Mark Steyn!
“If you care about America’s future, read this book.”—Mark Levin
“A must-read book that shows how the Green New Deal is dangerous, impractical, misguided, and guaranteed to fail with disastrous results for the American people.”—Sean Hannity
A New Lockdown to “Save” the Climate
That’s what’s in store for us if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Democrats pass their radical climate plan—the Green New Deal.
It is packed with guarantees so completely irrelevant to the problem it purports to “solve” (like “free college” and incomes for everyone “unable or unwilling to work”) that even its boosters have admitted it’s not really about the climate.
The intrepid Marc Morano, author of the bestselling Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change, breaks down the science and the politics to expose the truth about the Green New Deal:
• The science is settled: copious evidence—and prominent defections from the “climate consensus”—make clear we are not facing a man-made climate disaster
• “Climate change” is the perfect Trojan horse for the socialist agenda of the Left
• Fossil fuels lifted the West out of poverty—but our elites now want to deny them to the world’s poor
• The Green New Deal is on a collision course with self-government and our fundamental rights
Climate change has already been “solved” multiple times over the past two decades—with highly touted international agreements—and yet it never goes away as an excuse for leftist policies that will cripple our economy, impoverish the world, and take away our freedoms.
Packed with telling statistics, damning quotations, and real science, Green Fraud is your source for all the facts you need to understand—and resist—the threat.
About the Author
MARC MORANO is a former senior staff member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, publisher of ClimateDepot.com, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change, and producer of Climate Hustle (2016) and Climate Hustle 2: Rise of the Climate Monarchy (2020).

BIKERNET STAFFER REPORTS FROM THE PANDEMIC VACCINE FRONT–since you are making the claim that the government-ordered inoculations are giving you the thing they are insisting they are trying to keep you safe from I am going to take pity on you and write you a chatty letter. To, ya know, cheer you up.
Assuming you’re depressed, which I doubt. You don’t seem like the type. I went to Kaiser after 6 months of fighting with the ol’ lady, I finally became convinced that she was not being a tyrant but that she was genuinely gullible.
She has an IQ of about 300, so this was hard to accept but apparently intelligence is a different part of the brain from personality. A tough lesson for me to confront as true. but apparently its true, so I went to Kaiser.
It was PROBABLY the most organized operation I have ever seen outside of films of the Normandy invasion. There were hot teens everywhere giving shots. They looked like teens to me. They mighta been 24. They all had tight small asses and tight pants.
I figured well, this will do, who cares if I get the fucking goddamn mother-fucking govt-claimed deadly pandemic bullshit.
An old Vietnamese woman behind me in the line decided I was the person to help her fill out her form. I wasn’t but I did make an effort, which necessitated me breaking the 6-foot protocol rule and just talking to her like Normal LIfe. The staffers didn’t care.
The people in line were very nervous about this. Me and the viet cong gook lady ignored them and told each other jokes about how fucked up this all was.
When I got to the First Destination, I told one of the hotties that the woman behind me needed assistance because she didn’t have her glasses, and for about ten seconds, I was now in charge.
Waving good luck to little granny I proceeded to the extermination table. There was a dozen of ‘em and I sat down and got my shot and then went to a chair in the empty-of-cars huge bottom level of the parking garage and sat there for 15 not 30 minutes because miraculously 15 minutes had been eliminated from the “let’s see if you die” protocol.
I used this time to take phone photos of one of the hot chicks giving shots. Next shot on April 16. I’m going to sit a whole lot closer and for a whole lot longer and get better ass pics. Because ass pics and camel toe pics are ACTUALLY all that matter in life. Thank you.

ALERT ON PROPOSITION 65–California Comments Due Monday
The MIC will submit comments opposing changes to Proposition 65 labeling requirements proposed by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment. Companies wishing to also provide comments must do so by March 29.
In January, according to the state office, the OEHHA “proposed amendments to certain sections of the regulations….Specifically, the proposed amendments would modify the content and methods for providing short-form warnings,” which could include labeling.
The OEHHA website states that: “Proposition 65, officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986…protects the state’s drinking water sources from being contaminated with chemicals…and requires businesses to inform Californians about exposures to such chemicals. Proposition 65 requires the state to maintain and update a list of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.”
The types of chemicals listed may include some that are used in manufacturing or “may be byproducts of chemical processes, such as motor vehicle exhaust.”

TIRE NEWS–Jayson Uribe Takes Pirelli DIABLO Superbike Slicks to Track Record at Buttonwillow Raceway
ADR Motorsports Makes it Two Track Records in 2021 with DIABLO Superbike Slicks
ROME, Ga. (March 25, 2021) – Pirelli Tire North America captured the brand’s second absolute motorcycle track record of the 2021 season as ADR Motorsports rider Jayson Uribe set the pace at Buttonwillow Raceway in Kern County, California. Uribe’s achievement was set during the opening round of the 2021 American Federation of Motorcyclists (AFM) Championship aboard a Suzuki GSX-R1000 equipped with Pirelli DIABLO™ Superbike slicks.
“We worked hard all weekend on getting the bike and myself dialed in for setting fast lap times,” said Uribe. “Being able to set the track record wouldn’t be possible without the support of Pirelli. The trackside service and advice was critical in setting up the bike this weekend. We decided to go with the DIABLO™ Superbike SC1 on the rear because of the colder conditions and tricky grip levels. Huge thanks to the Pirelli crew and the ADR squad for the killer bike!”
Uribe’s new lap record of 1:43.067 was set on Lap 2 in the Formula Pacific class, topping the previous lap record of 1:43.497. A DIABLO™ Superbike SC2 in 125/70-17 was used on the front of his Suzuki motorcycle, while a DIABLO™ Superbike SC1 in 200/65-17 sizing was used on the rear. After setting the pace early in the race, he would go on to take the checkered flag ahead of ADR Motorsports teammate David Anthony.
“Pirelli riders were strong all weekend long,” said Chris Maguire, CT Racing, Pirelli Trackside Vendor. “Despite colder temperatures, several classes saw riders on Pirelli DIABLO™ Superbike slicks setting their personal records as well as track records. Jayson [Uribe] was absolutely flying in the Formula Pacific class and really demonstrated just how good the latest generation Pirelli slicks are. Congrats Jayson!”
Anthony was the first Pirelli rider to earn an absolute motorcycle track record in 2021, which came at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway in February. Pirelli continues to remain the motorcycle tire of choice for North American riders looking to reach the top step of the podium and log fast laps at events and series that do not have a spec tire rule. Reward prizes are offered to riders who set a new motorcycle track record while using Pirelli race compound tires.

KEEP THE BANDIT’S CANTINA BAD JOKE LIBRARY WIDE OPEN— Had I known in March
that it was the last time I would be in a restaurant
I would have ordered the dessert.
Nancy Pelosi and her gun control allies in the U.S. House recently passed two gun control bills H.R. 8 and H.R. 1446. Now Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer are pushing these bills in the U.S. Senate, as well as calling for bans on lawfully-owned firearms!
This legislation won’t have any impact on crime or criminals, doesn’t address America’s broken mental health system and doesn’t address the underlying causes of violence.
The first bill, H.R. 8, would criminalize the private transfer of firearms and targets law-abiding gun owners for persecution. It would make criminals out of law-abiding gun owners for simply loaning a firearm to a friend or some family members. This bill would not stop criminals from obtaining guns because criminals do not comply with the law. And the legislation would be unenforceable without federal gun registration.
The second bill, H.R. 1446, would allow unelected government bureaucrats to indefinitely delay firearm purchases for law-abiding Americans – depriving them of the ability to defend themselves and their families.
Further, Joe Biden just recently called for banning commonly-owned firearms and magazines used for hunting, recreational shooting and self-defense!
Again, please contact your U.S. Senators today and urge them to reject Biden and Schumer’s gun control!
Thank you.

IT’S NEVER OVER—If you read Marc’s new book you will find out about previous socialists efforts and that AOC came from the Bernie Sanders camp.
Hell, we went through a similar movement under Senator McCarthy, who wanted to put anyone in jail over the communist threat. Here’s a piece from Wikipedia: McCarthyism is the practice of making accusations of subversion or treason, especially when related to communism. The term refers to U.S. senator Joseph McCarthy (R-Wisconsin) and has its origins in the period in the United States known as the Second Red Scare, lasting from the late 1940s through the 1950s.
It was characterized by heightened political repression and a campaign spreading fear of communist influence on American institutions and of espionage by Soviet agents. After the mid-1950s, McCarthyism began to decline, mainly due to the gradual loss of public popularity and opposition from the U.S. Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Earl Warren. The Warren Court made a series of rulings that helped bring an end to McCarthyism.
It just bothers me, because we are actually living in the best of times. Sure, there’s stuff to do and improve. But we are not doomed. Let’s party or as the brothers say, “Support Good Times.”
I said to a brother, “The Silent Majority needs to get Loud.”
We are working with George Fleming on revamping our logo. We are now 25 Years old. Holy shit. Let me know what you think of his sketches.
We put new wheels and tires on the 5-Ball van. These only have 10,000 miles on them. I’ll take best offer to get rid of them.
In the next couple of days, we will report on the Buell line-up and Eric Buell’s efforts at electric bikes. Do they fit?
Never a dull moment. Back to packing.
Ride Fast and Free Forever.
