Richard Kranzler was an inspiration, a diehard biker, a bikernet fan, an Easyriders reader, a non-stop enthusiast, a computer tech head, an internet guru, a performance nut, and a constant good friend.

The 111-yard passage nicknamed ‘Harry’ by Allied prisoners was sealed by the Germans after the audacious break-out from the POW camp Stalag Luft III in western Poland.

In the middle of a winter night, a cold wind whipped up the damp streets of the dark side of Long Beach, California, and pushed the dense fog off shore. I was just about to reach for a fifth of Jack Daniels and slip into a warm comfortable reclining chair and watch Easyriders for the

Fantasy Fest has grown every year since
Hey, It’s SuperBowl Sunday and no one will read this news. Maybe not. I need to peel out early, cut a dusty trail. See a girl about something, study the Dharma and watch the game. It’s going to be terrific, or maybe not. Whatever happens, it’s going to be another amazing day. BIKERNET BAD JOKE

Friday night happy hour time was in high gear as the sun began to set over the Los Angeles Harbor. The Cantina parking lot was packed with bikes, longshoremen’s trucks, and girls who rolled over from Long Beach, three bridges away with the dreaded Terminal Island in between.

Launching its first motorcycle in 1904, the Feilbach enterprise would eventually knock heads, SOHC or otherwise, with another Milwaukee upstart company, Harley-Davidson, although it seemed Feilbach had the upper hand with a better motorcycle.

Hey, I tried to take the day off Saturday, but that’s not really possible, so I slept some, and then scrambled.

I made a list last night and I needed
