The Weekend Roundup

Hey, It’s the Happy Father’s Day Sunday Post, amazing. And we survived a Friday the 13th and a full moon. I spent 2.5 days sequestered in a hotel room working on a final edit of my second Chance book, and perhaps my last fiction book endeavor. I spent almost 16 hours one day just reading […]

Hey, I’m confused today, but that’s nothing new recently. There is a lot of confusion out there, like the government handling of the VA health care system, yet they want to control everyone’s health care? We are left to invest in stocks or real estate. Who could ever trust the stock market again? And during

Hey, I was once on the board of directors of some group homes for kids who were abandoned.  Or their folks were drug addicts, or in jail. As a biker I could relate, for some strange reason. In our efforts to be free too many kids got left behind. I’ll never forget meeting with these

Hey, It’s Memorial Day already. I’m missing the Long Beach Swap Meet working on a Sunday Post, every Sunday, except when I’m riding an Indian to the Smoke Out, peeling to Sturgis, or Bonneville. We had some progress on the Bonneville efforts this week. I ordered some dragster parts, the front end, axles, tie-rods, you

Hey, As usual life is nuts. I took a drive around the port with Dr. Hamster yesterday, and the port is tearing the shit outta Wilmington to enhance port operations, and they don’t have an approved plans. We have a plan for the Wilmington Waterfront approved in 2009 and nothing has been completed—no money they

SHUT UP AND DEAL, This is an odd mix of news today. We are waiting for some interesting safety reports from Australia. They’ve determined the real need for helmets, like we have a hundred times. Car drivers should wear them, quick. It’s all nuts. Again, Freedom works, if the control freaks could only listen. Rare

Hey, This is incredible. Many said that if the government would just control litigation and abuse in the medical world, we didn’t need Obamacare. Of course the new legislation passed. And now everything medical will be controlled and monitored, including every citizen’s activity. So hang on for this report from The Week Magazine this week:

Hey, Interesting chilly day in the shop. I’m trying to honor the dharma, but the back of the shop is open to allow the dogs access and the sun in, so if a fly lands on my computer, he or she is toast. I can’t help my violent self. I went out with a beautiful

Happy Easter, I mentioned in the news about a story I told, and how I wasn’t sure how my listener would respond. All is well and she got the joke. I dodged another bullet. This next week will be interesting. We have a serious line-up of striking content. And Richard is working on his second

Hey, Life is nuts. The Long Beach Grand Prix, shakes the pavement in Long Beach all weekend. We need a decibel meter trackside. Laughlin is a couple of weeks from now. I’m hanging out with Bill Hayes and Jennifer at the Los Angeles Times Book fair with Motorbooks and Paisano Publication DVDs and tech books.

Hey, I believe this will be an interesting one, sorta educational and maybe inspiring. Or what the hell, we my have free shit heading your way. Okay, so what’s on the plate today? We have positive info about a topic called mindfulness or meditation. So, I need to calm myself for 29 minutes and just

Hey, The code of the west this year is headed by making every minute count. It’s a year of non-stop efforts and projects. At some point we are all faced with drawing a line in the sand. Enough is enough. This is a magnificent year of opportunities, but we need to roll the dice and

Hey, Get this from The Week Magazine: Last week was a good week for asking Google anything, after new research revealed that users conduct 1,000 monthly searches for “how to hide a dead body,” 1,900 searches for “how to get away with murder,” and 40,500 for “why did I get married?” Are these searches connected.

Hey, I’m at a crossroads today, but I can’t tell you which. I’ll spill the beans on Thursday. I can tell you about some changes to the shop. A brother, who had the nickname Jesse James years ago, stopped using it, because of another shady guy who was using the same name. So he changed

Hey, This is a strange one. I recently started working with Chris Kranzler, since Sin Wu peeled out. Chris has been invaluable to all of our recent efforts. Last night she had a heart attack. She is also constantly tortured by the effects of MS. We are hanging on for her to recover. The second

Hey, I don’t know what to say this morning. It’s been raining steady for a couple of days, and California needs it bad, but I live at a very scary sea-level. If it’s high tide when the rains come, the streets won’t drain and we are forced to wait for the tide to recede. I’m

Hey, For the first time in months I’m not pissed off at the government for some ridiculous restriction or blunder. It’s just a Sunday with tremendous potential resting before us in the coming week. This is our 18th year with Bikernet, and a big one in our efforts to set Bonneville records. Lee Clemens, from

Hey, Another perfect day in paradise. I rode with Kyle, the official Bikernet Electrician, to the Yacht club for dinner. What a beautiful night on the harbor. I made my way to the bar to order my meal tickets and another biker leaned against the bar. “What happened to the weather?” He said. This guy

      What The Hell,    Bandit peeled out of here Friday on his way to the V-Twin Expo in Cincinatti, OH. Leaving the rest of the lowly crew behind to fend for themselves. We gave him instructions to keep us updated on the happenings at the show but we have not heard a

Hey, It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and I would like to ride over to Sugar Bear’s shop on the Mudflap Girl FXR, but my tags expired. I need to fire Sin Wu. She’s constantly missing the beat. She promised to make sure all the bills were paid as she ran off with a sailor from the

Hey, I’ll make this quick. I woke up this morning and grabbed my first cup of coffee. I sat in bed reading the January 31 issue of The Week Magazine. Several reports jumped out at me. The editorial covered energy consumption and global warming. It basically said we were supposed to reduce energy consumption by

Hey, It’s going to be a wild one. I hate to be negative, but some shit scares me. And I know I’m not the brightest star in the sky, but I believe and support some basic elements, like the land of the free and the home of the brave. You’ll see some bad news items

Hey, We are faced with a multitude of challenges and opportunities this year, and once in a while it causes stress or anxiety. You could start drinking whiskey until all the concerns in the world are gone. Or you could take drugs and hope for the best. Or, you could talk to good brothers. I

Hey, There is so much banging around in this feeble brain right now, I’m sorta lost. I try to snatch up my note pad to make notes, but I can’t move fast enough. I almost don’t have the time to take notes, just need to get shit done. No time to write ‘em down. Okay,
