Hey, I feel a shift coming. In some respects, I hope it’s a shift in the direction of Freedom. I sense the whole Climate Change Doomsday hoax is going to crash. We are actually living in the best of times. Everything on the planet has improved for the better and we need to celebrate, not […]

Hey, I apologize for not writing a Weekend Round-Up or posting a chapter about the Salt Torpedo. The week peeled away from me, and I had an ominous task on Wednesday. I had a VA hearing about my disability rating. Although it all worked out, we fucked up and didn’t do the correct homework. I

Hey, Life is so interesting, challenging, foreboding and sometimes fucked. But what the hell, each day is an adventure of sorts. It’s all about your attitude towards every aspect. This week isn’t over, and I need to conquer a couple of elements. The Nissan Van I bought is cool. I’ve been trying to get it

Hey, I am a man of many strange thoughts. Although, they are predominantly centered around riding free and helping others. I woke up the other beautiful morning and noted how the heat has subsided some and it was a perfect day for working in the shop and getting shit done. Then is dawned on me.

Hey, I ran two Climate pieces a couple of weeks ago. I got a kick out of this one from the Week. Let’s ask everyone who buys a fossil fuel car or motorcycle in the future to plant a tree. Done deal. THE GREEN SOLUTION TO CLIMATE CHANGE—Scientist have calculated that the cheapest and most

Hey, Hate Ignites Hate Maybe there’s something to be investigated here. Again, the media plays a role. Mass shootings are on the rise. It’s not because of the guns, but because of frustration. I watched a portion of a report on PBS News hour last night. A professor wrote a book blaming slavery on capitalism.

Hey, This is going to be a wild day. This would have been the day we rolled out for the 2019 Bonneville Speed Trials, but it’s not happening. We still have work to do, but we did make our first pass around the block successfully. I still need to finish the firewall, bolt in the

Hey, This is one of those mornings. I’m not sure which way to turn. It doesn’t really matter, any direction I go is damn exciting. I’m in the process of wiring the Salt Torpedo. I need to add three Daca vents to the liner, but the body is almost done for now. I will also

Hey, This has been one amazing week. I didn’t finish my Weekend Round-up because shit was moving fast. It’s still moving fast, and maybe not fast enough, but we will see. I started on the Weekend Round-Up for July 22nd, But never finished it. It’s nuts. My weeks don’t end. I try to make Friday

Hey, What an interesting week. We are scrambling with the Salt Torpedo. I trying to outfit the new Bikernet Salt Flats Van for the trip to Bonneville.

Hey, It’s amazing, in a world gone nuts with regulation, one state is considering freedom. Check it out, in the news. Missouri has an adult helmet repeal in front of their Governor.

Hey, It’s the 4th of July and I’m working on the news. Ah, but it’s Thursday. And we are celebrating the Declaration of Independence that we are all equal and deserve happiness.

Hey, What’s real, what’s hip, what’s it all about? We see it constantly around us. It’s one of the things I liked about being a biker. It was just me and my motorcycle. I wore what I wore for me and nobody else. Most of us looked like hell most of the time. Who cared? Okay,

Hey, What’s it going to be? I’ve just spent three days welding on the Salt torpedo and rattle can attacking parts for final assembly to begin this weekend. In a world gone insane with regulation you see that freedom still matters. In Missouri they are about to repeal the adult helmet law. I just read

Hey, Every morning I wake up, throw my long legs over the edge of our drooping bed and say, “It’s going to be an exciting day!”       Ever since dragging the Salt Torpedo back to the Bikernet Headquarters, we’ve been scrambling. Yesterday, we peeled the top of the new fiberglass body off of

Hey, A PITCH FOR INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A GROWING POPULATION—I wake up with the craziest thoughts. I watched Chris Kristofferson’s documentary about the Past and the Future and of course Climate Change and Man. His experts contend that fossil fuels will be around for a long time. But he asks that we try to do something

Hey, We use to be a society of can-do folks. We built, invented and created everything and rocked on. Now, it seems we’re the can-regulate everything era. We can punish you and according to the experts the millennials can’t do anything. They can’t drive, ride motorcycles or build anything. They can only stare at their

Hey, Challenges flying at us can be great or small, but it’s up to us to handle them with dignity and pure positive enthusiasm. As the good doctor Bourna points out, “make stress work for you. It’s the only way.” Good stress are the drivers making us get shit done in a timely fashion. Bad

Hey, Nirvana is a state of mind we are all capable of at any minute. Bikers understand the concept better than most. Anytime we straddle a bike and shift into gear our brains slip into a state of nirvana. As soon as we open a tool box and start to build a bike, we slip

Hey, Why do I ponder this shit, but I do. It’s not as if my folks were industry leaders or politicians. I should smoke weed and relax, but no. So, what happens when we prove that Global Warming is a doomsday hoax? We’ve basically lost 20 years when we should have been thinking about the
