Hey, Don’t forget to turn your clocks back. Is life nuts or what? You’re gonna love this. I’m 65 and looking for a date. Fortunately, I have lots of long-distance love supporting me from ex-wives and even a 25-year-old. I should be satisfied, but I’m still looking. It’s sorta like riding a Hyabusa off a […]

Hey, The brothers are at the Long Beach Swap Meet while we pound out the Sunday Post. It’s been sorta overcast. I’m a nut. I’m not sure where I got it, maybe it was Lou Kimzey, who was the mastermind behind Easyriders. He hired me, at 22 years of age, to the be the manager

Hey, Does anyone know the ins and outs of shop roll-up doors? Ours may need some help. Of course the guy who came over pronounced after a short inspection, “You need a new door, quick.” That’s just $4,000. Ouch.

Hey, I had a dream last night. Someone wanted to purchase my Mudflap Girl FXR. Sure, it was a flattering offer, then I started to think about how I would replace it. I couldn’t. No matter what formula I came up with it didn’t fit. Nothing on the planet fits me like that FXR, so

Hey, This is going to a be short and sweet Sunday Post. Some of the staff were attacked by the Chinese Mung Flu and unable to climb out of their bunks. Others tested way too much whiskey. And of course the Asian massage parlor on a Saturday night was jumping. So let’s just hit the

If you loved V-twins, New Zealand must have been ”Hog Heaven” back in 1943. Suddenly we had shiploads of US military Harley-Davidson motorcycles, swarming up and down Auckland’s Queen St and Wellington’s Lambton Quay. But by about 1945 they’d almost all vanished, taken home by our departing American allies. The Marines and GIs were a

Hey, I don’t know shit about Syria issue, except for what the Frogman said. The Frogman spent 10 years in the middle east training troops. He said to stay away from Syria. It’s a no-win. I’ve read several reports and watched Senate hearings. So here’s the list: 1. We are being asked to attack one

Hey, This is the first of the new Sunday Post regime. It was 90 degrees in my shop today, and I was going to say that Bikernet was taken over by a massive Chinese conglomerate of corporations. They own half the world. But Bikernet would still be assembled in the United States. And we would

Marko fished off the dock under the Vincent Thomas Bridge. It spanned the wide channel between San Pedro and Terminal Island, which once housed the Long Beach Naval Base and still was home to the Terminal Island Federal Prison. Bandit sat on a rusting galvanized bucket and tossed a line in the briny water. “Just

Hey, This is an odd Sunday, with brothers and sisters at the Bub meet lining up to set world land speed records. Only about 400 folks scramble out to this event as builders, pilots, spectators, sponsors, staff, and journalists.

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, So do I call this the Bad Cop Sunday Post? I know some bros who hate cops. I run the bad cop news because of the historic battles between bikers and cops, but I run ‘em sorta tongue in cheek, since I believe cops have the toughest jobs on the planet, and are forced

SPEAKING OF DISCOVERIES—Bikernet Australian Correspondent recently toured northern California in search of rare motorcycles and exotic tattoo talents.

Hey, I’m getting a late start. A magnificent redhead from my past wandered into my life recently and spent the night. We had a lot of catching up to do and ate breakfast of Mole enchilidas this morning at the little Mexican restaurant up the street, Maya’s. This small restaurant in an old brick building,

Hey, Life is absolutely amazing. There are so many opportunities out there. Remember the too-cool bobber Kent, at Lucky Devil Metal Works, in Houston built for Nyla. She traded it for a floating restaurant on the Los Angeles Harbor. She is now having the time of her life running a floating barge, and making

Hey, It seems quiet today. Hopefully it’s not the lull before the storm. Actually, two days ago it was 90 degrees, today it will hit 68, and 66 and rain tomorrow, so the storm is coming. I rode the Mudflap Girl to my mountain to say a prayer for my first wife. She’s dying of

Hey, This is one of those days, and they seem to surface more often. Maybe it’s the myriad of communication devices. Perhaps it’s the non-stop nature of life, our expanding resources, or the Bikernet non-stop mantra and creative spirit. About the time we feel confident with the completion of one project, three more land in

Hey, Life is nuts. I was almost caught up on content, when I attempted to write the feature for the Twisted Ultimate Builder Editor’s Choice Winner from the Long Beach show, and couldn’t find a phone number, so I kicked back. What the hell, I was about to turn 65 and pondered taking a break.

Hey, I don’t know about you, but life is strange and more bizarre by the day. Is it too much population? Just this week I read about drones being used domestically, sports taking over for religion, and security cameras expanding their reach into our lives. And of course how computer access will monitor every aspect

Hey, I read Englishman’s editorial in the Feb issue of the HORSE. He made several valid points, but I particularly like this paragraph: On a personal level, I have a Concealed Pistol License, and I carry my pistol every day. It’s no big deal. Many citizens exercise that right. I don’t think it makes me

Hey, What a day yesterday was. I worked feverishly on Rogue’s JIMS cam bearing tech. I needed to work on a program for the MRF’s Industry Council for Motorcycling.
