Hey, It’s another wild weekend at the Bikernet Interplanetary Headquarters in the Wilmington ghetto on the edge of the Port of Los Angeles. Just when we think life might simmer, the weekend explodes. I started to work on a tech about ordering hydraulic brake lines for motorcycles, while messing with the Bikernet advertising program for […]

    A very short and sweet Sunday Post.  Not sure why, but at least I have some good pictures…  Bandit is still in Las Vegas and says the LV Bikefest has been really good and the crowd seems to be enjoying the glitzy weekend.     Here’s your short post—       Hey

Hey, Damn, it’s slightly warm here today, and of course life it nuts. A reader sent me a report on Japan’s debt and economic climate. Why is it that governments have the audacity to regulate and demand from their citizens, and can’t control themselves, their bureacuracies, and can’t balance their budgets? Seems a tad nuts

Hey, Another strange day in paradise, but at least I’m catching up. This coming week will be packed with action content including a Softail Road Test from Doc, the esteemed Bikernet tech editor from Australia. We will bring you a feature bike from Gard Hollinger; Keanu Reeve’s bike. A custom motorcycle like you’ve never seen

Hey, This will be a helluva Sunday News. I’m scrambling to clean the shop, put tools away, and catch up with Bikernet issues. We are also catching up in the shipping department. If you signed up for the special Cantina Membership, your care package and membership card will roll out of here next week. Our

  Another Sunday Post with no intro from Bandit…  Yesterday he judged the first ever AMD Affiliate Bike Show in association with Harley-Davidson, at the Harley-Davidson Museum.  He’s there again, but today’s show is called the Ride In Bike Show.    Tobey arrived safely today with both bikes in tow from the BUB meet at Bonneville

    Sorry this is such a short Sunday Post.  Bandit was having connectivity issues while at Bonneville, so no emails from him.  What it means, however, is we’ll post a huge Thursday News.  I haven’t heard from the guys today, so I’m not sure how things are going at the BUB meet.  They did

Hey, What a weekend. Last week I picked up the Bonne Belle paint on Tuesday, then the engine on Wednesday. I was on the verge of panic as my daunting list of projects unfolded. Fortunately for me a team emerged just in the nick of time, including Nicole Brosing from Australia, Tobey, our official certified

Hey, I’m on the edge of my seat by trying to remain calm. Today is the 12th and we have until the 24th to arrive in Bonneville. Wired my bike this weekend, and unwrapped the super-fine stainless exhaust from D&D. I can’t plumb my bike until I have the engine. I can’t make the exhaust

Hey, The Hamsters rolled into the Badlands yesterday, along with riders from all over the country and the world. The rally is officially underway. Hell, I posted an AFT bike feature yesterday. That bike and the AFT girls are on their way to Sturgis, and if you’re rolling into town, don’t miss a chance to

  Bandit is on the road somewhere this weekend enjoying his new build, The Mudflap Girl Bike.  We’ve been enjoying a beautiful Southern California weekend while he’s away, but tomorrow it will be back to business.     I think lots of people are heading out to Sturgis because the emails are very light.  Here

Hey, We attempt to bring you the latest news from a myriad of aspects, from legislative to events, and new products. Let us know if you have suggestions regarding any Bikernet site coverage. With Sturgis just around the corner, a couple of us are riding out to meet the Hamsters on their first Badlands leg

Hey, Another strange day in paradise. Sin Wu said something to me in bed the other day. She said, “I don’t get it. All the unrelenting bullshit, chest pounding, power-brokering over this dinky little planet in the middle of this massive galaxy.” About the time the EPA controls our breathing and fines you for farting

Hey, I’m not sure what to make of today. Victory invited Bikernet to a new model launch, but they won’t allow us to reveal the contents until the 30th of this month. We can’t even mention the name. It’s burning a hole in our collective pockets, but we will respect their wishes. Hang on. I

Hey, Just returning from the Smoke Out in Rockingham, North Carolina, Mike Lichter flew into town for Born Free, and we couldn’t miss the 100th Anniversary of Motorcyclists Magazine—amazing party in sprawling, vintage motorcycle laden facilities. They have photo studios to die for. Then it was off to Born Free at Irvine Lake, where Rip’s

Hey, What the hell. I’m just back from Smoke Out 13 in Rocking Turbo, North Carolina. Up at 3:00 a.m., and snuck out of the hotel room, so Michael Lichter was caught with the bill. Prince Najar weaved all the way to the Charlotte International Airport, 98 miles. And I left a Victory Highball somewhere.

Hey, I’m grappling with my future, actually 2013. If I survive the projects list hammering us this year, I want to shift into a more relaxed mode next year. I won’t stop, just reduce the number of projects to a more manageable list—two things: Write another book and build another Bonneville project, a streamlined trike.
