Hey, I don’t know how you feel about facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, Wayn, etc? I’m busy and they slow me down. I love what I do on Bikernet and constantly wish we could do more. At some point I needed to face how much we could produce with the funds we make and the resources we

Hey, This is interesting. I like being a solitary guy. It’s always been my concept of a biker. One guy and his motorcycle on the adventure of life. Riding is solitary. So yesterday looked to be a day of working-out meditation, tinkering with the Panhead and waiting for the Redhead to come home. Then my

Hey, It’s Sunday and Memorial Day and time to think, respect and reflect. I discovered through one of my best friends, Dr. Hamster, something more we all need to think about.

Hey, As I went to bed last night I had the perfect title for the Sunday Post, but I didn’t force myself to write it down, so this morning it’s gone. But that’s never bad. I’ve watched a couple of interesting lectures recently. I’ll try to share some findings with you. Kids hate big business.

The sun shined over the harbor like a beacon of warmth and joy. Marko rolled his stretched FXR into the sunlight for a ride to a hearty breakfast at the Pacific Diner and to tease the cute waitresses.

Hey, It’s interesting and I’m constantly searching for the correct path. I have my ear to the ground constantly is search of solutions for the political issues attacking us. But I don’t see concern for these issues in many main publications. So there’s a question or two. Don’t they care? Do they believe we’re doomed,

Hey, I don’t know where to start this morning. Frankie came over with his ’05 Dyna to have me torque the compensating sprocket. His primary chain was too tight and we adjusted it and torgued the compensator nut. Last week he complained of noise and a clunk from the primary. I mentioned in the news

Hey, Here’s my take on gun control. I have a basic problem with gun restrictions as a reaction to the Florida shooting. Obviously, our government officials were warned about this individual numerous times. So basically, when you restrict, you are asking the public to rely on the government…They failed, so they want to blame the
