Bandit is on the road somewhere this weekend enjoying his new build, The Mudflap Girl Bike. We’ve been enjoying a beautiful Southern California weekend while he’s away, but tomorrow it will be back to business. I think lots of people are heading out to Sturgis because the emails are very light. Here […]
WHERE THE BIKERS ARE SUNDAY POST – JULY 29, 2012 Read More »
Hey, We attempt to bring you the latest news from a myriad of aspects, from legislative to events, and new products. Let us know if you have suggestions regarding any Bikernet site coverage. With Sturgis just around the corner, a couple of us are riding out to meet the Hamsters on their first Badlands leg

Hey, I’m not sure what to make of today. Victory invited Bikernet to a new model launch, but they won’t allow us to reveal the contents until the 30th of this month. We can’t even mention the name. It’s burning a hole in our collective pockets, but we will respect their wishes. Hang on. I

Hey, Just returning from the Smoke Out in Rockingham, North Carolina, Mike Lichter flew into town for Born Free, and we couldn’t miss the 100th Anniversary of Motorcyclists Magazine—amazing party in sprawling, vintage motorcycle laden facilities. They have photo studios to die for. Then it was off to Born Free at Irvine Lake, where Rip’s
RIP’S BAD RIDE SUNDAY POST FOR JULY 1, 2012 Read More »
A lull hung over the Cantina starting in March. Maybe it was the calm before the summer storm. Folks came and departed like clockwork, as if on tranquil drugs. They drank their booze, ate nachos and shrimp enchiladas, and paid their tabs. No drama. No kidnapped women or unusual sex on the docks or in

Hey gang, Bandit has flown the coop for a while, leaving the rest of us overworked, underpaid and underappreciated minions completely in charge. Big mistake there, stretch! While the King of the Biker Nation is living it up in the Caribbean, sailing the emerald waters of Martinique, getting hammered on rum and sampling other fine
BANDIT OF THE CARIBBEAN SUNDAY POST FOR MAY 6, 2012 Read More »
Hey, I mentioned events in the news. It’s nuts, and wonderful all at the same time. We’ve got projects running in every direction, but if we tried to make it to every event, we’d never complete anything. Thankfully, the Bikernet Team is growing, so the old man can stay in the shop, while the young
EVENT RIDDLED SUNDAY POST FOR APRIL 15, 2012 Read More »
Hey, As you know attitude is everything. You can be poor with a damn good outlook on life, and you can be a rich SOB, and be as miserable as a death row inmate. So today, I’m poor with positive mind-set. This weekend I came to grips with my daunting shop project list. Tomorrow, I
Spring Is Sprung Sunday Post for April 1, 2012 Read More »
Hey, It’s supposed to be raining cats and dogs on the coast today, but last night we worked on the good Doctor’s dresser. He faced starting issues, and Dr. Willie came to our rescue. I didn’t have the JIMS clutch puller he had. We ran smack dab into the center of Evo heaven. We tinkered
Wet Sunday Post for March 25, 2012 Read More »
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
Storming Sunday Post for March 18, 2012 Read More »
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
NEVER A DULL SUNDAY POST Read More »
Just a quick Sunday Post with a few funnies and women. Word from Bandit, who attended the V-Twin Dealer show in Cincinnati this weekend, is that it was well attended, everyone had a positive outlook for 2012 and that you should watch for some great new products from Performance Machine. All was
SUPER BOWL SUNDAY POST Read More »
Hey, This is going to be very quick. I promise myself not to plan anything on Sundays, but you know exactly how that goes, with guests, events, women, and whiskey. There’s always something. This weekend we are loading the Assalt Weapan and taking it to the Chowder Barge in the early afternoon. I’ll haul a
ROCK AND ROLL SUNDAY POST Read More »
Hey, I realize the two most important games of the season are being played today, so I need to make this quick. Get this: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will test employees at over 100 airports for radiation. No, they won’t test subject passengers or the machines. “We still have no idea how much radiation
