Hey, Here’s the deal. I fight for freedom and I side with the Freedom Fighters, which are Republicans. Okay, I’m going to scramble through a few points. I grew up a workingman’s son. He was a Democrat, so I remained a Democrat until I became involved in Bikers Rights. I discovered that the folks who […]

Hey, I called this news Promotional because you will see some self-promotional items mentioned, and I gotta be honest about them, goddammit. We will promote our new 5-Ball Racing Bonneville Sponsorship effort for this year. We need to raise every dime we can get. We will also mention our new leather order. And I’ll ramble

Hey, It’s all a scramble, but a blast in the process. You’ll see an article about Harley in the news. They didn’t do so well in three of four quarters last year. But one quarter they did just fine. There’s talk about aging riders and millennials. All the articles pick on the company with profound

Hey, I’ve been looking for a catch phrase to define folks, who blame anything on Climate Change caused by your mom’s SUV. So far folks came up with pseudo-science and alarmist. I thought about history and the story of the boy who cried “Wolf.” But how about doomsday proponents, when we should be having the

Hey, Here’s a concept to ponder. For years, I mean decades the motorcycle business community hasn’t worked with motorcycle rights groups, except the MIC. The MIC struggled with their own role and are funded by the top four motorcycle manufacturers excluding Harley-Davidson. Maybe they knew something. Years ago I suggested that they change their membership

Hey, We are making serious progress with the Salt Torpedo. I need to draw a notion of the proposed front suspension for our esteemed tubing bender, TIG welder, frame guy. Each week I have my homework assignments and now a member of the Uglies has stepped up to pilot the World’s first Streamlined trike. Micah

Hey, This isn’t funny but ridiculous. We usually don’t see it in our face. It happens behind the scenes, but the government shut-down brought it to the surface. Our government isn’t working. It’s become two football teams bent on destroying the other one. Their job, running the government for the people, is no longer part

Hey, I mean it. I want everyone to have a splendid New Year full of prosperity, fun, love and adventures. Sure, there might be a stumbling block here or there, but nothing you can’t overcome quickly and move on to your next success, accomplishment or new bike. Just remember, don’t stop and never give up.

Hey, Hang On another year is screaming at us. I could talk about all the new things flying at Bikernet. We are changing the format some, trying to slow down and hoping for the best. If you’re not a Cantina member please consider joining. We are also husltling on the Salt Torpedo, our next Bonneville

Hey, I’m excited about out next Salt Torpedo update. I’ve been working hard on it, with Kevin Kahl, and Christmas has sorta slipped past. We are also scrambling on our new format for 2019. As of the first I will only produce one Bikernet Weekly News column. Generally, no more Sunday Posts. I will still

Hey, Sorry, but I was in Olympia, Washington yesterday, when I got a call. Kevin Kahl called to tell me he was back in town and ready to build the Salt Torpedo frame.   The Redhead and I scrambled out of the sack at 3:00 in the morning and hit one of the worst airport

Hey, It’s raining cats and dogs and of course someone will blame it on man-made climate change. Can’t be Global Warming, it’s too cold. This is a big weekend in Los Angeles. Arch Motorcycles is having a party Friday Night, Mooneyes is having a show in Irwindale on Saturday and the David Mann Chopperfest is

Hey, Yesterday was strange. In fact the week started out fine then twisted several times. We are going to reconfigure Bikernet and Bandit’s Cantina at the first of the year. We are going to focus on the Bikernet Blog and roll Bikernet into Bandit’s Cantina. I’m trying to slow down some and focus on the

Happy Thanksgiving! Did you think I forgot you? I want to thank our entire staff, our contributors, readers, subscribers, advertisers and customers for their support for almost 23 years. We’ve had a helluva fun ride and couldn’t have made it without every single one of you. Thank you from the bottom of this old outlaws

Hey, This is one of those crazy days. The Long Beach Show is this weekend and we’re hosting an Ultimate Builders Reception at the Bikernet Headquarters. That means spring cleaning, and scrambling. The Redhead volunteered to make two wonderful soups. It should be a blast, and then Brenda mentioned Thankgiving a week away. Holy shit.

Hey, This was quite an election with 20 million more voters stepping up. That’s amazing. It’s going to be so interesting as all the outcomes unfold. Hopefully, the results will lead to a better understanding, a shot in the arm for freedom and improved infrastructure. Let’s hit the news. The Bikernet Weekly News is sponsored

Hey, I’ve busted my ass over the last couple of weeks scrambling from one project, like the Salt Torpedo, to the ’72 F250 Truck, to the Bikernet Headquarters projects. I’ve been working 12-hour days easy and been successful for the most part. Yesterday, I took a break, got a massage, and performed the last registration

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
