I’m in a conundrum, which means a mystery, a challenge or a questioning problem. I’ve been pushing against the Climate Doom mantra for a decade. Even guys in the industry look at me like I’m nuts to fight it. Motorcycle rights groups won’t ask senators for scientific transparency. Okay, from time to time I want […]

Hey, Life for a biker is a wonderful thing, primarily because of the brotherhood. Whether it’s club brothers, same brand brothers, two-wheeled brothers, it’s a special band of brothers. I had dinner last night with two other brothers and their wives, who have been a part of this industry for over 50 years apiece and

Hey, This is a tough one and I don’t get it, but maybe I do. I say I do because political control is alluring for politicians, but usually leads to devastation. I’ll back up some. I wrote a forward for my book about Terry the Tramp, the 27-year boss of the Vagos MC. He took

Hey, I had a conversation with one of the most respected guys in our industry yesterday. I won’t mention his name or current affiliation. During his recent duties as a photographer and writer he’s struggled with his understanding of what’s PC or required. We are living in interesting times, but when we are faced with

Hey, Memorial day has always been the summer kick-off party. But in a sense, it’s the ultimate freedom weekend. We are truly honoring the folks who died for freedom. The notion of freedom is being challenged right now in this country and other countries around the world. As a country we’ve made mistakes, but freedom

Hey, As you know life is nuts and has been headed downhill fast. When I’m forced to sit and ponder this American trial, I come to one major conclusion: Leadership. We need leadership, but we don’t need just political leadership. We need media leadership and this news item popped onto the screen today. Sounded like

Hey, Life is nuts, but we’re living in the best of times, except for Ukraine and Covid. Think about your phone, your car, all the technology to keep us safe and going to the next wild event. We look around the world at all the bad shit, and wonder why anyone bothers with the bullshit,

Hey, Talk about a major issue facing our lives currently and in some respects being shoved down our throats. Most of the industry is just plain scared to even ask about the issue. Some of the industry and even rights organizations are being bullied by environmental groups. See the story from Alex in the news.

Hey, Life is amazing, treacherous, full of love and hate. This year is a tremendous example of our many plights from Covid to the Ukraine. I’m watching a documentary series called the Butterfly Effect. It’s about the turning points in Man’s history and how each one effected societies, countries and the world. If you have

Hey, What an interesting news day. We have a devastating war going on, and Martha is working on the catering service for the next meeting of world leaders to discuss banning Russian players from joining the NFL. This distinct and delicate meeting will happen while old women and children are being annihilated on the streets

Hey, We are living in strange times to say the least. I had a discussion with the leader of a major vehicle organization regarding Climate Doom and Scientific Transparency. He wouldn’t go there with his organization. “Some of my members will get upset.” I told him two things: “I’m just asking for Scientific Transparency, the

Hey, Is life nuts or what? We have a war in Europe. The UN is at war with humanity. They want to convince us that we’re doomed. Some media sources won’t allow scientific transparency, yet they must be aware that their political beliefs are breaking down. So, why all the conflict now? I don’t have

Hey, I watched “Ukraine on Fire” last night, a documentary recommended by Sean Penn. For 92 days the people of Ukraine fought their own government in the streets of Kyiv to force their Russian dictator to leave. This took place from 2007 to 2019. The whole Parliament voted for the dictator until the people threw

Hey, Another interesting day in Paradise.They finally found the time and the weather to pour the concrete slab in the shop. Then we almost ran into a community issue. Outlaws and citizens don’t always mix or never do. What is it? One day it was winter, then someone threw a switch, the temps jumped 40

Hey, This is going to get strange as if it isn’t already. You would think we would be done with Wars, but not so Kemosabe. Although, I have a flash. A Ukrainian cease-fire is being discussed. Wait, Putin says no. Also strange in March are several discoveries by my strange self. Yesterday was my Birthday.

Hey, MAMA TRIED happened last week and the motorcycle world fled to Daytona Beach for bike week as the Ukraine is under fire. The world is in turmoil, our country is lost but the brothers know how to party. Watch for reports on Bikernet. In the meantime, the Bikernet War Room is a buzz of

Hey, Human nature is amazing. We are surrounded by war, petulance, disease, doom, destruction and division, but we keep cooking, building cool shit, and heading to the latest event. Mama Tried is happening after Covid fucked with it for a year or two. Daytona is going to be hot.   Brothers including Jason Mook from

Hey, It seems odd to say there’s hope, when Russia is bombing the Ukraine and my son called and said, “It’s WWIII pops.” Truckers are rolling toward Washington D.C. in protest. One of their goals could be respect for Fossil Fuels and demand an end to Climate Doom. Science is never settled. Let’s hope for

Hey, Yale writes about this later in the news, but this has been a week of keeping your mind open and receptive to new knowledge and resources. Hell, I’ve been faced with a number of challenges with the shop. I’ve never lived anywhere where it gets -9 degrees in the morning. I’m learning the weather

Hey, We had spies at the Grand National Roadster Show, at the Barrett Jackson Auction and at the Mecum Auction. Most of the bidding came from online buyers. Prices went through the roof with a ’61 Bubble top Chevy going for $209,000. At Mecum a ’46 Indian Chief went for $75,000 and a ’47 for

Back in the ‘70s someone came up with the FUCK OFF T-shirt and it became massively popular. Brothers were pissed. It’s all nuts, but I’m pissed. I even have brothers ask me why I bother about CO2? If the doomsday crowd wins, we won’t ride choppers for long. One brother said I was radical right

Hey, We blasted out of Boulder Canyon between Deadwood and Sturgis, South Dakota at 4:00 in the morning last Friday. There was a deal on a 1948 ULH 80 Flathead Harley, the last year. An ex-longtime Paughco employee Steve H. was struggling and needed cash. We sought various options, but then the weather cleared, and

Hey, This should be interesting, but first I need my second cup of coffee. The shop is flying together, but weather is a constant factor. It might start to snow tonight or tomorrow. Jason’s crew is moving quick to build the exterior walls, add the trusses and roof. Once the exterior is in place we
