  Hey, This should be interesting. Yesterday I rode over to an art exhibit in Long Beach with a couple of Hamsters. It was somewhat associated with the Ink and Iron convention on the Queen Mary this weekend. The art exhibit revolved around tattoo related dragons, Art of the Dragon. Some of this art was […]

Hey, We’re up and on the road at 4:00 a.m. heading to the Mojave Mile with a 1000 cc race Kawasaki, which is putting out over 170 horses, and was strapped to a tuning dyno all day Saturday. It’s Tobey’s daily rider. Okay, so it’s not a Harley, but we are giving him a hand,

Hey, Happy Memorial Day. Here’s the official definition from Wikipedia: Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed annually in the United States on the last Monday of May. Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it

  Hey,     Life is nuts, I’m outta town, so my ‘puter goes on strike, then overloads, and all hell breaks loose. The lovely Sin Wu was forced, kicking and screaming, to handle the bulk of the Sunday Post today, but I swear, we will be back on track this week. My computer guy

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there, and you better not be reading this before having done right by your mother!   Let’s hit the news…  Goodbye, Caroll Shelby Carroll Shelby, designer of the Shelby Cobra and other sports cars that placed him in the pantheon of auto industry legends, has died at

Hey gang, Bandit has flown the coop for a while, leaving the rest of us overworked, underpaid and underappreciated minions completely in charge. Big mistake there, stretch! While the King of the Biker Nation is living it up in the Caribbean, sailing the emerald waters of Martinique, getting hammered on rum and sampling other fine

Hey, What a strange year this turned into, but I won’t go there, not yet. It’s as if the Code of the West is being tested. This news will enlighten you as to the disparity in even government programs. We’ve turned into a world of control freaks, and they are now fighting to maintain their

Hey, The notorious Sheriff, the Swedish moto- journalist, X-Hamster, now a Weasel, is spending a couple of days at the Bikernet Interplanetary headquarters while roaming the countryside on a new 103 Tour  Glide. He brings interesting insights into our market, the magazine world, web sites, and the social media galaxy. I love to write, and

Hey, I mentioned events in the news. It’s nuts, and wonderful all at the same time. We’ve got projects running in every direction, but if we tried to make it to every event, we’d never complete anything. Thankfully, the Bikernet Team is growing, so the old man can stay in the shop, while the young

Happy Easter Goddammit, Where are the eggs? It’s interesting living down at the harbor away from any residential merriment. When a holiday arrives the only indication is the lack of traffic, trucks and folks. The place is vacant for a day. So no sign of Easter Eggs, or rabbits. Although, the dogs have been killing

Hey, As you know attitude is everything. You can be poor with a damn good outlook on life, and you can be a rich SOB, and be as miserable as a death row inmate. So today, I’m poor with positive mind-set. This weekend I came to grips with my daunting shop project list. Tomorrow, I

Hey, It’s supposed to be raining cats and dogs on the coast today, but last night we worked on the good Doctor’s dresser. He faced starting issues, and Dr. Willie came to our rescue. I didn’t have the JIMS clutch puller he had. We ran smack dab into the center of Evo heaven. We tinkered

Hey, A major chunk of the industry is rolling home from Daytona right now. I hope it was a mighty successful week, and sets the stage for a brilliant metal flake and chromed-out year. I had sort of a slap-in-the-face epiphany this week. It started with trips to Saddlemen and watching the team build a

Hey, Yesterday was nuts. We scored a Leonardo da Vinci bicycle that was built after a supposed fake da Vinci sketch. Then we stopped at Pacific Coast Cycles in Long Beach and asked to borrow a set of 45 cases to help with the Bonne Belle mock-up. Mike, who is destined for open-heart surgery in

Hey, Weeks fly by. A handful of Hamsters on motorcycles scrambled into the headquarters yesterday for lunch. One brother couldn’t make it. From his phone call, I got the impression a car was in pieces in his front yard, and he needed to finish it, before he was evicted by the neighborhood, or his wife.

Hey, This is wild. Every week the weather changes, and so does the industry, the news, and women. Today’s Sunday Post will smack of an on-line bike show. We’ve worked with several feature photographers over the years, and try to support them as times have toughened. Peter Linney has a unique way with photography, and

Hey, Well it’s never a dull moment around the Bikernet Headquarters. It was scheduled to be a mild weekend of bike wiring and tinkering around the shop, but as usual every weekend explodes with activity. The good Dr. Hamster called first with the notion to organize a Hamster Lunch ride for today. I agreed. Then
