Weekly News

Hey, This week became an amazing experience. It started with a conversation with a local sign painter and muralist. Before I spoke with him, my list contained Truck projects, writing projects, a Cycle Source Deadline, Salt Torpedo research and goals and then I spoke to Aubry the starving artist with five kids. “I could use […]

Hey, The last two weeks have been amazing, although my fortune cookie told me to watch out for evil spirits. But maybe that was a Halloween warning. I scored an abandoned ’72 Ford F250 Pickup and we’re working on it like crazy. It runs like a champ but needed a lot of detailing. Last Saturday

Hey, It’s an exciting day in Paradise, and boy I wish the world or at least all Americans got that. I’m working on my Bikernet Freedom Manifesto, although Mark Buckner may have corrected me regarding the term, Manifesto. Let’s hit the news. It’s a good one. The Bikernet Weekly News is sponsored in part by

Hey, What’s it all about today? Las Vegas Bike fest is coming right up. It rained slightly for the first time in Los Angeles. I’m sort of excited in a tempered way. Next week I may purchase an old pickup and on the weekend Rick Krost, of US Choppers and I are headed to see

Hey, I attended the Meeting of the minds last weekend in Denver, which was made up of over 300 leaders in the Motorcycle Rights Movement. In a time when we should be riding comfortably free, the Man is still coming at us. Sure, it’s bullshit, but control freaks can’t ever give up. They have a

Hey, It’s another amazing day in paradise, as you will see in the news. Life is incredible and we are under assault by the control-freaks. They need to go plant some trees and relax, maybe meditate. There’s something inside of me that just wants to celebrate all that man has accomplished and help him or

Hey, Here’s this week’s notion and I need to have some scientific facts to confirm my assumptions. I’ve been trying to figure out a few things for awhile. You know, we bang through life just handling shit as it comes. We take our knocks and sometime blame the problems on someone else or the other

Hey, My granddaughter called me about leasing cars. I’ve leased two, along time ago. I started to tell her my thoughts and she said, “I thought you were going to tell me some horror story.” I said, “Never, always find the positive in everything you do.” That’s the code and don’t forget it. On the

Hey, Sturgis is behind us, Bonneville is wrapping up now. Las Vegas Bike Fest and Meeting of the Minds is coming up. That’s just to name a few of the on-going events happening. Plus the show circuits will kick off in the next couple of months. Hell Bob Kay is back with the IMS shows,

Hey, We are keeping it simple this week and away from politics and the climate. This week is centered on Panheads, girls and whiskey, my favorites. We may start to assemble Doctor Hamster’s Panhead this weekend. I took my bastard Panhead for a ride yesterday and Peter Linney featured Micah’s classic Panhead Chopper for Cycle

Hey, About the time I think I might back off on politics and the major attack against our lifestyle, it comes back. For some reason the notion of Climate Change is strong right now. And we have a lot of news on the subject. Hang on, this news will be rocking. Plus, by tomorrow we

Hey, Incredible. We’re right in the middle of the heartland rally and I’m on the coast in the blistering heat, but as we will find out, it’s really not that hot. Actually, it was a lot hotter in the 1940s, but I digress. From all accounts the rally numbers are up and everyone is having

Hey, It’s Sturgis Run week. The brothers, sisters, and the industry are headed to the Badlands for all the action, the parties and the shows. James the tile man came by yesterday to give me a bid on refurbishing a bathroom downstairs. When I mentioned Sturgis he got all starry-eyed. “I need to make that

Hey, This is looking good on all fronts. Brothers are heading to Sturgis next week. We shipped my metal art sculpture to the Buffalo Chip a couple of days ago. I will report next week. I’m also going to report on my effort for the Wilmington Waterfront. I know it’s not about motorcycles, but it

Hey, Sturgis is just around the corner. My Indian is leaning toward the gate. It’s the 40th anniversary of the Hamsters and 115th of Harley-Davidson. I’m reading a book called Save the Cat about writing screenplays. My goal is to finish the one I’m working on before the end of the year. I watched a

  Hey, It’s a good one, this week under the stars and blistering heat. There’s progress on lots of fronts. I’m making headway on my metal art donation for the Flying Piston Breakfast Charity effort. You’ll see it next week. We are making a move on our Salt Torpedo Bonneville Effort with JIMS and Paughco.

Hey, I had a strange day yesterday. My mission was pure creativity, to come up with an artistic notion for the Flying Piston Charity Builder’s Breakfast in Sturgis about a month away. I was burning daylight with no concept, materials and limited time. It was 4th of July and my mind spun with my plans

Hey, I’m in a difficult situation. When I first watched “The Inconvenient Truth” I was impressed. But I’m a biker and sort of a journalist. I questioned it. How could man have such a massive impact on the climate? I started to question these findings like all journalists should and the info surfaced. Global warming

Hey, I traveled to Deadwood last weekend and looked at a batch of escape properties with my son Frank. At the last minute he invited his lovely wife, Erica. We roamed the hills looking at a myriad of Sturgis, Lead and Deadwood properties with a rider from Deadwood, Mike Perservich, and then saw a handful

Hey, I’m going to rattle down some facts here that will be shocking and revealing, but who knows if they make much sense. I had a meeting about the California Air Resources Board new motorcycle rules yesterday. The California Air Resources board is mandated (there’s that word again) by the Governor to create a state

Hey, We live is such strange times. On one hand we could be at a terrific juncture in our history, having a great time, living longer, healthier, safer and more free. But the same old shit gets in the way, control freaks (government) and religion. Damn, I’m glad I’m a biker. I’m fighting the California

Hey, I wish I knew what I was doing today. I’m going to have a meeting with the California Motorcycle Dealers Association boss about my letter to the California Air Resources Board and what the hell we can do for motorcycling. I’ll publish the report on Bikernet next week. It will blow your mind. I’m

Hey, This is a day of Quandaries. A sorta, which way to turn day. I’m watching another lecture series with Dr. Peter Vishton phd. It’s on how our brain works and how we can change it. Say you have a bad habit like snacking all day or smoking and you want help. Carry a note

Hey, I had a bad dream last night about roaming, lost, through the old offices of Easyriders. I couldn’t make sense out of anything or anything going on. Only Beatnik and Kim Peterson made any sense. I woke up this morning wondering what the hell? Does anything make sense? Then I looked at our cat
