Hey, This week was packed with major accomplishments on all fronts, and it’s not over yet. I believe we made major strides on our building. We now have a Certificate of Occupancy in the works. I refined the breather on my bottlecap engine, replaced the plugs and ordered a new headlight sealed beam. Another test

Hey, I’ve discussed not giving up on anything, including the 5-Ball factory racer, and I’ve seen success. I went to Zack’s houseboat last weekend and we talked about motorcycles and chasing mechanical problems. A small electrical glitch in the headlight triggered his circuit breaker and killed the bike. I’ll dig into my headlight. You never

Hey, This has been a fascinating week. I could say it was a challenge. I could also say it was fucked. But I try to keep a constant positive attitude and my goals at the forefront of every effort. Let’s get specific. I had another meeting with the City of Los Angeles regarding my building.

  Hey, This week has been beyond interesting. All the bottom line goals were almost realized. I talked about Not Giving Up, and you can’t. This week held examples.

  Hey, Here we go. This is one of those days. I’m not sure where to start. I’m excited and tenuous. This year put me in the middle of a whirlwind. I was attempting to finish my most recent book. It’s a crossroads endeavor. I want it to be the best book I ever wrote,

Hey, About Freedom. We seem to live in a society admonishing Freedom as a thing of the past. I had a conversation with Dennis Manning. The EPA told him point blank that they are controlling everything that rolls, and ultimately custom motorcycles had to be apart of the mix. So, why isn’t it the other

Hey, This is proof the world is nuts. The Panama Papers proved that I have no money in any offshore accounts or even here. Have you seen the documentary on Netflix about the Ukraine in 2013 and the kids fighting for freedom. That was just three years ago and they lost lotsa lives fighting the

Hey, Hang on for this news. The world may be in turmoil and our government forgot their mission to honor freedom, but we’re still having a blast everyday and keeping the Code of the West alive. Folks reach out to us for jobs constantly. We must be doing something right. As magazines slip away we

Hey, I’m confused today. A brother of mine reminded me of his mantra, “We are facing constant and expanding regulation. We need to adapt to it.” I can’t. Maybe I’m not bright enough to read all the daunting fine print. Here’s a terrible example of government deliberate confusion. In Newport Beach, California you must go

Hey, I’ve noticed and was challenged by a trend of late. I spotted shops selling their wares using words like culture, markets, millennia, art, and such. There’s something strange about those words to some of us old bikers. We were in the game because we loved it, found the romance, adventure, and intrigue in the

Hey, This news is action-packed and the Bikernet Headquarters are action central. We are still grappling with the city, filling out another form for consideration by the high command. An attorney told me today, “It’s common for them to target an area of interest and start with real or imagined code violations. It’s likely the

Hey, Interesting week in paradise. It’s warming, the girls look better in skimpier clothes. Daytona action is in full swing. Life is nuts and hauling ass.

Hey, I’m more excited than I have been in awhile about a couple of things. Life is just so fuckin’ interesting. You can bang along, but if you keep your eyes and mind open, answers will come. I’ve been concerned about Bikernet’s growth for a couple of years. I’ve researched, drawn on the knowledge of

  Hey,We are fighting the EPA over performance products for motorcycles and cars. Drag Specialties was forced to remove 280 part numbers from their catalogs due to fines from the Air Resources Board in California. Folks have told me there’s nothing we can do. We will be regulated, so just deal with it. That’s funny

Hang On, This news is packed with controversy and the fight for Freedom. I do my best to avoid politics, but I’m looking hard for a solution. Just after I wrote my Brief Manifesto, the EPA and SEMA had a meeting about new regulations. They will basically ban all car, truck, and motorcycle performance products.

Hey, This is a rough one. Today, I’m bouncing between business deals, family issues, plans for Superbowl weekend, our effort to help the custom motorcycle market stay free, and our Bonneville racing efforts. Buck Lovell called. He’s trying for a job at the Sturgis Museum. I told him I would write a letter of reference.

Hey, I’m scrambled today with projects, priorities, and crazed notions. While the Redhead slips around the headquarters in her leopard robe, I swept up after our two black labs and pondered the day. I’ve been attacked by stress over the vast and unrelenting Bikernet Interplanetary Headquarters being attacked by the City of Los Angeles. We

    Hey, Talk about a wild week. Visitors rolled in from New Orleans. Anson Alexander worked on offshore oil rigs, but liked to keep up with Bikernet. The bosses banged on his door and shut off access—something about the girls. Anson went right to the top. The girls in the free section are cool

Hey, I have a major bitch, actually a couple, but I will attempt to stay focused on Freedom. I just don’t get it. What happened to freedom in this country. We all know how important freedom is for the soul, but safety, and regulation took over. How many times has this backfired, take the War
