THE CUBAN ESCAPE SUNDAY POST for December 10, 2017
Hey, Just returned from Cuba, which is the size of Florida. It’s ridiculous we didn’t end up with that island, but we fucked it up. Unlike England we have never been good at governing outside entities. Take a look at what we are doing in Puerto Rico and Haiti. Ridiculous. Both of these places should

TACO TUESDAY NOW ON SUNDAY, SUNDAY POST for December 3, 2017
Hey, I’ve been thinkin’ about it. If I really wanted to, I could bitch and moan about the shitty deal that I’ve been given this week (Bandit livin’ it up in 80 degree Cuba, while we’re all freezin’ and working our asses off). I’m not going to complain because if you want to be someone

STEP INTO THE UNKNOWN
Here are some strange pieces of history you may want to share–Rogue During WWII, Norway was occupied by the Nazis. Resistance fighters gave the Nazis diarrhea via sardine cans. The resistance fighters snuck into sardine-canning plants and instead of just sardines, filled the cans with croton oil – which happens to be a powerful laxative.

Girl of Bikernet: Chelsea Rae
This is nuts. The esteemed world-renowned photographer, who is suffering under collapsing magazines, calls me often and he mentioned the next Girl of Biker recently.

Life and Times 1990s in Seattle
This is a quirky story, but it’s all good. I met a guy named Steve Curran at a brisk Easyriders show in fog-strewn Seattle in the mid-90s where I met my Indian and Steve’s ’59 Panhead. A short squat but stand-up guy, we talked because of his love of martial arts and his bike.

2017 Hamster Charity Vintage Project
I received one of those nuts emails today packed with images of crazy creative shit, like a tractor turned into a mail box or a barbecue made to look like a locomotive. Some of these creativity efforts probably took years. Some of it was absolutely magnificent; I’m talking world class. I’ve made a few goofy

Cantina Episode 74–The Twisted Nipple
Bandit stepped through the cadre of Green and kicked in the stern sloop hatch and jumped down the stairs to the galley below. He could never understand why galleys were designed at the rear of sailboat salons where folks stepped inside with dirty, sandy or wet feet or shoes. The small area smelled of sweat

Life and Times 2016
This may be an epiphany and maybe not. Uncle Monkey explained 2016 at the year’s end. Too bad. I wish I knew this coming in. It might have helped. UNCLE MONKEY ON THIS YEAR–It has been an amazing year. It was one of those touchstone years that come every 16 years or so. 2000 was

Cantina Episode 73–Based on a True Story
It was just another innocent Saturday afternoon in the Cantina Parking lot. One of the cute waitresses, Tina, suggested a swap meet to drive more traffic to the Cantina on the weekends. On a cool October weekend the sky was brilliant blue with just enough billowing clouds to hold any remaining summer heat at bay.

Cantina Episode 72: The Last Line
Marko rubbed his eyes. It was almost 3:00 a.m., a bastard of a time to be awake. He turned to the phone base system and pressed the button for messages. He recognized Dr. Feng’s number and called him back. “Come in, over?” Dr. Feng said. “You called the Cantina about a girl?” Marko asked. “Yes,

I receive a strange call from time to time. “Meet me in Monrovia at 4:00 a.m.” The voice came in low tones. I arrived on a dark street, just down from a parked black-and-white. A decoy to keep local petty thieves on their toes, I locked the Bikernet van next to it, scrambled a block

THERE’S A WAY BIKERNET SUNDAY POST for September 20th, 2015
Hey, Life is nuts, but bikers are cool, creative, adventuresome, and love freedom. Too bad the rest of the world can’t find the way. I read about Buddhism from time to time. It soothes my heart and helps when I get wound up with too much bullshit. It’s not a religion, but a philosophy. Here’s
