a message from Mr. JV

this is my brazilian friend, Mr. JV. we used to go out for SUSHI and SASHIMI, had great fun together. he moved to brazil last april and opened a restaurant in sao paulo. he says business is running good, very busy but he's got very good chef and servant lady, working hard.

a photo of his restaurant called AZUL BANANA or "Blue Banana" and the chef and servant lady.

right in front of the beach. beautiful location

he had some trouble with his employees. drinking a customer's beer...

when he is not watching... he said he fired the guy in red t-shirt and exiled him to japan. i told him that i will watch him when his is here.

i'll see you in brazil, Mr. JV.

dear santa...

i know that i haven't been a good boy, i forgot to change the water in the george's fish tank last week... but i really really need your help. i want a set of harley-davidson made screaming eagles camshaft for my xr1000. it's already 24th of december here but we are about 7hrs ahead of you so i thought i can still make it. please, santa, i will be a good boy... i promise...
last monday, my mate and i went to the circuit for the last ride of this year. it was cold but okay. after about 10min, i heard this dry hitting noise from my engine... today, we found #2 and #3 camshafts with missing gear tooth. the end. what a christmas!

PANHEAD

panhead... i took it today to see my friend who lives in nagoya, some 40miles away. i've been riding it last 3yrs and not giving me problems. it came to zero engineering from us as a custom-base-bike and i bought it as it was. i changed the exhaust, handle bar, foot-controls, cleaned up the welding and pate on the 1950 frame... the motor is running good. it's 1962 flh. i don't know what kind of surprises put in it since it came from america but i am not going to see it until it breaks down.
