We ordered just a couple of black Speedway shirts in a light leather without Sleeves. I like mine in brown. It’s become my go-to vest for around town, not so much for riding. When I need a vest to carry my phone, notes, sunglasses, and stuff, it hits the spot. I can wear it over

Hey, This is interesting. I like being a solitary guy. It’s always been my concept of a biker. One guy and his motorcycle on the adventure of life. Riding is solitary. So yesterday looked to be a day of working-out meditation, tinkering with the Panhead and waiting for the Redhead to come home. Then my

Hey, It’s Sunday and Memorial Day and time to think, respect and reflect. I discovered through one of my best friends, Dr. Hamster, something more we all need to think about. It’s one of the mysteries of human existence and life. I’m in the process of trying to figure out why the government wants to

Hey, It’s a new year and a very special one. Maybe it’s a year to get our priorities straight. It’s definitely a year to step up and help. Either help with your community or help with the motorcycle industry or both. Look into joining your motorcycle rights group. And I’m doing to take a class

Hey, We have daunting questions chasing us for many reasons. Two political basketballs could save this country, so should, would we, could we make them happen. One is our medical system. Should we turn it over to Medicare, eliminate insurance, unless you want it, and save the country trillions, annually? Tort reform is the next

Hey, I went to a Barbecue with my Long Beach girl last night. She asked a myriad of questions about my sordid past and then Sturgis surface and she started asking questions about the run to the Badlands, like, “Are you ready?” I thought about one of the first rules in Buddhism about change. Everything

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’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, This Sunday Post is a kick. It’s just fun and thought provoking. Shit, I need to hurry. I’m stripping a massive brass porthole for the front of the building. Kyle and I grappled with tools, the bead blaster, sanders, you name it. The best tool turned out to be a series of Scotch Bright

Hey, A major chunk of the industry is rolling home from Daytona right now. I hope it was a mighty successful week, and sets the stage for a brilliant metal flake and chromed-out year. I had sort of a slap-in-the-face epiphany this week. It started with trips to Saddlemen and watching the team build a

Hey, I wrote about the economy, then the Week magazine hit our mail box. The subtitle read, “A surge in hiring finally sparks economic optimism.” Amazing. The Labor Department job report indicated that employers added a net of 243,000 jobs last month. Unemployment dropped to 8.3 percent. That’s good goddamn news. So, I’ll keep my
