The Weekend Roundup

  Hey, It’s the Final Playoff Sunday, so who is going to read the Post? It’ll still be around on Monday, Tuesday… for years to come. Sometimes I think about the future and how we will be able to click on Bikernet and read an article from 20 years ago. Could be an amazing resource […]

Hey, This Post might be short, and maybe not. We could pack it with news from our own headquarters. We are still try to sort out 2013, which looks to be a fuckin’ amazing year. I know, I need to stay focused on the primary motorcycle goals, our Trike Streamliner, and books. Our list also

Hey, I started on the 2013 list last week, but that’s not all. I am still involved in the MRF Industry Council, workouts, TV, and Movie efforts. We have an Australian Water Separator to test and a grant effort for the study of Freedom. And I still want to learn music. Plus, a large goal

Hey, Damn, the New Year is flying at us, and I’m trying to make a plan for Bikernet and my sanity. We are excited about this coming year. The potential is amazing for this small group of old bikers. Bikernet has expanded, and although there is some tweaking to be implemented, all systems are a

Merry Merry, What a crazy holiday season. We have been lost in a befuddling fog. It’s sort of the black icing on the leather cake for a tough year. But I won’t go into all the elements right now. It’s not bad, just tough. I’ll hold off for the state of the Bikernet Union address

Hey, We’re climbing on Christmas Holiday quick, and it’s a strange and wonderful one for the members of the Bikernet family. Let’s get right to the news. Then I’ll fill you in on the weekend, and what’s coming next week.     Creating a Sanctuary at Home– Your home – whether big, small or somewhere

Hey, I’ve been scrambling all weekend at the Long Beach Ultimate Builder Show with Bob Kay and Jeff Najar, and of course our esteemed Performance Editor Ray C. Wheeler. Ray place his bike in the Performance Category an although it’s not complete, it scored very high marks. The damn thing is amazing, just not finished

Hey, I kicked off a discussion about the holidays, or lack there of. Sin Wu liked to say, “We’re too broke for the holidays.” And we often didn’t have a tree. Since some of the girls are missing in action, Ray C. Wheeler, the esteemed Bikernet Performance Editor in Chief, volunteered to handle outdoor decorations,

Hey, How was your Thanksgiving? I hung with my 90-year-old mom and we went to see Lincoln. Then I cruised out to a party at the Triking Viking’s digs. The damn place was packed with women, mostly young. The estrogen in the air caused the lights to fade and wall paint to bubble. I was

Hey, A couple of things this morning. I’ve been grappling with this for several weeks, but now some of the elements are coming together. At a meeting a couple of years ago, a friend mentioned a Belly Tank Bonneville project, and I was intrigued but couldn’t go there. Belly Tanks from WWII are used by

Hey, Honoring Veterans Day. Buy a veteran lunch, a drink, or hell go for a ride. I attempted to tour the battleship Iowa yesterday, but the crowds were daunting, and I’m not a crowd sorta guy. I peeled out, and it was just as well. Later in the evening I met with the lovely Gina

Hey, Never a dull moment. Received an e-mail the other day. A Hamster, Jack Luna, died unexpectedly or an aneurism in his stomach, after having dinner with Barry Weiss. I thought maybe they were fighting over who had the coolest car. Then I get a call this morning about a brother’s son dying in a

Hey, This could be a good one and a departure from the usual Sunday Post. We have three staff members in the region of the impending Sandy Hurricane and wish them well in the hours ahead. On one hand we have jokes and cute girls, and on the other hand the storm of the century

Hey, Never a dull moment. It rained last night so I spent an hour this morning drying off the Bikernet Van and the glass tables in the rarely used Bikernet patio. Of course Sin Wu sticks her head into my office to report more rain in the next couple of days. Last night, I rolled

Hey, Sometimes I wonder. I’m not on TV or playing bit parts in Sons of A. I’m not a cool builder, so what the hell. Should I be somebody? I’m a nut. I’ve always run at life with an unrelenting passion for whatever it is, or whoever she is. I haven’t been massive successful, but

Hey, It’s another wild weekend at the Bikernet Interplanetary Headquarters in the Wilmington ghetto on the edge of the Port of Los Angeles. Just when we think life might simmer, the weekend explodes. I started to work on a tech about ordering hydraulic brake lines for motorcycles, while messing with the Bikernet advertising program for

    A very short and sweet Sunday Post.  Not sure why, but at least I have some good pictures…  Bandit is still in Las Vegas and says the LV Bikefest has been really good and the crowd seems to be enjoying the glitzy weekend.     Here’s your short post—       Hey

Hey, Damn, it’s slightly warm here today, and of course life it nuts. A reader sent me a report on Japan’s debt and economic climate. Why is it that governments have the audacity to regulate and demand from their citizens, and can’t control themselves, their bureacuracies, and can’t balance their budgets? Seems a tad nuts

Hey, Another strange day in paradise, but at least I’m catching up. This coming week will be packed with action content including a Softail Road Test from Doc, the esteemed Bikernet tech editor from Australia. We will bring you a feature bike from Gard Hollinger; Keanu Reeve’s bike. A custom motorcycle like you’ve never seen

Hey, This will be a helluva Sunday News. I’m scrambling to clean the shop, put tools away, and catch up with Bikernet issues. We are also catching up in the shipping department. If you signed up for the special Cantina Membership, your care package and membership card will roll out of here next week. Our

  Another Sunday Post with no intro from Bandit…  Yesterday he judged the first ever AMD Affiliate Bike Show in association with Harley-Davidson, at the Harley-Davidson Museum.  He’s there again, but today’s show is called the Ride In Bike Show.    Tobey arrived safely today with both bikes in tow from the BUB meet at Bonneville

    Sorry this is such a short Sunday Post.  Bandit was having connectivity issues while at Bonneville, so no emails from him.  What it means, however, is we’ll post a huge Thursday News.  I haven’t heard from the guys today, so I’m not sure how things are going at the BUB meet.  They did

Hey, What a weekend. Last week I picked up the Bonne Belle paint on Tuesday, then the engine on Wednesday. I was on the verge of panic as my daunting list of projects unfolded. Fortunately for me a team emerged just in the nick of time, including Nicole Brosing from Australia, Tobey, our official certified

Hey, I’m on the edge of my seat by trying to remain calm. Today is the 12th and we have until the 24th to arrive in Bonneville. Wired my bike this weekend, and unwrapped the super-fine stainless exhaust from D&D. I can’t plumb my bike until I have the engine. I can’t make the exhaust
