Hey, This is a strange day in paradise. I asked a brother last night if he was going to watch the SuperBowl. “Hell no,” the Triking Viking muttered. “I’m going for a ride. It’s one of the best days to ride.” Damn good thought. Let’s hit the news. We fired the King’s Discovery Channel bike

Hey, It’s been raining here for a couple of days, sorta like Seattle. The Easyriders show came to Long Beach this weekend and we checked it out. Ben will write a report. It was good to see some of the old bros. From time to time I publish something from a reader. Then, another

Friday night happy hour time was in high gear as the sun began to set over the Los Angeles Harbor. The Cantina parking lot was packed with bikes, longshoremen’s trucks, and girls who rolled over from Long Beach, three bridges away with the dreaded Terminal Island in between. Halloween approached and so did the evil

Hey, This is an interesting one. We are running at life fast and furious. We peeled through the holidays, and never slowed down, except for maybe a minute. So, how do we make a difference in 2015? It’s up to us, to stop doing anything that hurts us, our families, our brotherhood, or our country.

Launching its first motorcycle in 1904, the Feilbach enterprise would eventually knock heads, SOHC or otherwise, with another Milwaukee upstart company, Harley-Davidson, although it seemed Feilbach had the upper hand with a better motorcycle. Arthur Otto Feilbach and his brother William tinkered together their first machine within their small home garage. This was

Hey, I have sort of a challenge to lay on you. It’s something I’m going to investigate with an expert, and there’s a book on the topic, but I’ll just touch on it here. My best friend, Dr. Hamster, came for Breakfast today, the day after Christmas. He’s a big one for Landmark seminar studies,

  Hey, Happy Holidays, and avoid the Miracle Mung if possible. Markus Cuff had it for three weeks. I thought it was a 24-hour bug, but that was four days ago, and I still can’t talk. Maybe it’s a good day to watch football and drink whiskey. Let’s hit the news:  SOMETHING FROM

Hey, I tried to take the day off Saturday, but that’s not really possible, so I slept some, and then scrambled. I clammored around the headquarters, taking care of the animals, fixing plants fucked with by the storm, sweeping, and thinking about motorcycles, women, and stuff. I made a list last night and I needed

Hey, It’s a mystery weekend as we fly toward Christmas. We’re in that two minute lull between a myriad of holidays leading up to the big one. If you’re smart you’ve started buying gifts online to avoid, traffic, lines, and bullshit. I sat and hand wrote Xmas cards last night. I feel like this

Hey, Another whacked out weekend. It’s interesting how time flies. I had a plan to start my charity bronze sculpture this weekend, but it’s gone, I mean the time. Ah, but all is not lost. Lots were accomplished this weekend and I’m rapidly catching up on writing assignments. I roughed out Pat Patterson’s Led Sled

Hey, Damn, we’re flying at Thanksgiving like we put a turbo on the calendar. I hammer the MRF, Motorcycle Riders Foundation, to up their membership efforts. I believe they are the only true, honest, national motorcycle freedom fighting entity in the US and we need to support them. We also support NCOM which is made

There are many sides to the biker lifestyle, 99.9% of it is extremely positive and giving. The Roscoes Chili Challenge is an example of the “gathering of bikers, new and old” where clothes are optional and the atmosphere is be happy. How it all began… The first chili cook off was

Hey, An associate jammed over to the Long Beach Ultimate Builder Show by J&P and came back with his impressions of the electric H-D bike and the show. Here’s his report, “The electric bikes are cool, but only good for 25 miles going fast. Nothing startling at the show, new models and such.” I crawled

Hey, Life is strange, and just gets more bizarre daily. Last night I watched a panel of city mayors discuss issues in their cities. One young woman, who has spent three terms as the major of her town, mentioned something critical. She said, and I’m not sure I’ll get it straight, but the notion

Hey, I still don’t understand why they kill Daylight Savings Time every year? I heard it had something to do with school kids walking to school in the dark. First, they don’t walk anymore, and second change the school hours, done deal. Let’s rock into the news today. It’s a good one and I’m

Okay, we gotta admit it’s a tiny bit macabre to find a stellar group of antique, vintage and high performance motorcycles on display at a cemetery, literally the last place a bike fan wants to visit. But there was lively reasoning behind the appearance of 13 “celebrity” two-wheelers at the Forest Lawn Memorial

Hey, I could have attended the last Love Ride yesterday. We received a highly secret inside report. Ever since the economy crashed in 2008 the Love Ride has struggled.

He meant so much to the millions of Americans who fought in World War II, and to those who had waited for them to come home.

Hey, I don’t know what to make of this, but I’m trying. More importantly how will any of this effect motorcycling in the future? This comes from The Week Magazine for October 17th: One promising high-tech auto feature in development is “vehicle-to-vehicle” (or V2V) communication, which would allow cars to virtually “talk” to one

Hey, It’s ironic how we learn lessons, what sinks in, or what touches a cord in our memory banks. I had a tooth pulled on Tuesday and they gave me a round of antibiotics. I started to take them and felt weak, then my joints started to ache, and finally I awoke to a splitting

It doesn’t make any sense, but what does except cool custom bikes and hot women? It’s all a dichotomy. Like the preacher who drinks whiskey, the family man who builds wild choppers and hangs around sexy broads. It’s oil and water, the wicked and the pure, the virgin and satin. But then there are the
