  Wow, Was that election something? I’ve never seen two people or two staffs work so hard for America as Clinton and ultimately the new President, Trump. This was like three or four football seasons in a row. I gotta hand it to them. No race has ever been so hard fought. Let’s hope this […]

Hey, We need to stick together and never give up. There’s a lot of bullshit flying around this country, and I wonder if it’s because there are too many rats in the cage, so pandemonium ensues. Let’s hope not and work for Freedom, because it works. I have another mantra I’m pushing these days: Oil

Hey, This is one of those days. We are scrambling in so many directions. If you’ve ever thought about advertising on Bikernet, this is the year, 2017. We’ve made a ton of changes and now Bikernet is mobile friendly. Our best benefit is the ability to share information often and forever. Two cute young girls

  Hey, What’s our next move? 45 Years ago, the safetycrats hit us with helmet laws. It was a notion not to save lives, but to control the growing number of wild bikers. Many folks just accepted that helmets protect heads. What could be better? We proved differently on many fronts and helmet laws still

Hey, What if we proved all transportation vehicles have little effect on the climate and cows and agriculture has a much more devastating effect? What if we proved oil ain’t bad at all but killing animals is. What if we found out that the biggest element on the earth controlling weather and fixing our climate

Hey, I’m still catching up on sleep from Las Vegas Bikefest. I’m also in the process of constantly learning.

Hey, There are a couple of heated topics to discuss here. One is the monster in the garage. We could call it government over-reach, control freaks, freedom in trouble or the safety take-over. Everyday we hear about electric vehicles taking over the planet, we hear about global warming as if you could turn your chopper

Hey, I’m still trying to understand Facebook. We dodged it for a couple of years. That didn’t help Bikernet, but now we’re in the ring, punching it out. Someone in the industry recently said, “Don’t give ‘em content, just work the content you have through Facebook.” I’m still trying to understand what all the boxes

Hey, I just received a new C of O, or Certificate of Occupancy for the Bikernet Headquarters. For months I wondered whether armed officials would kick me out of my old building.

Hey, This is going to be a good one. A couple of news items bring up the issue of Freedom and how it works. We don’t realize how important the custom motorcycle culture is to our nation. I’ll try to explain. Biker’s Rights advocates have fought for helmet freedom for over 40 years. It’s worked

Hey, It’s all nuts. I watched a documentary about the earth and our battles for and around water. The scientists in Greenland said they could not confirm or deny the naysayers about man’s impact on the climate. The water and ice levels have been consistent for 10,000 years. They also went onto explain how our

  Hey, Had an interesting experience dodging thunderstorms through Monument Valley, on our way to Sturgis. We pulled into Rawlings for gas and my riding partner was constantly looking for the best possible route.

  Hey, Are you packing for Sturgis? It’s that time of the year to make our annual pilgrimage to the badlands. Along the road we finally have time to think without a myriad of distractions. Have you ever watched “Hell on Wheels?” It’s a wild series made in Calgary about building a railroad across the

Hey, Interesting times in the motorcycle world. I wrote a book in the ‘90s about the future and banning motorcycles. It’s already happening. There’s a plot. We need to step up and fight for freedom. I’m also discovering much more to the climate change equation, what can be done and what is happening naturally. The

  Hey, There’s a secret. Another challenging week on the home front. I was told by the city to call for an inspection and they would arrive within 24 hours. I called on Monday. No one has called or come over, yet. Now, I could look at this from several perspectives. The Secret tells us

Hey, I watched the 4th of July celebration at the Capital, amazing. We need a slice of this stuff once in a while to offset all the negative media. We do live in an amazing country, but why is it amazing? Because it’s the land of the Free and the home of the Brave. In

  Hey,We are living through interesting times. Folks are cut up in the streets of the middle-east while bombs blow up their homes and we have folks right here who want to pass quiet zone regulations to enhance the quality of life. Since when was rock and roll not part of our quality of life,

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.
