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. Biketoberfest is coming right up, and so is the Love Ride next weekend on opposite coasts. […]

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 write and attend events so often they become a blur between names and dates. The Rips Bad Ride Poker run took place on Saturday from Lifestyle Cycles to the new Rock N Roll Custom Paint facility. Ray Wheeler, our Performance Editor planned to attend, then headed to Illusion Cycles. Then Art Hall the

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

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. It’s an vast place where every team tries desperately to make a difference in an amazing

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, Got an early start this morning. I’ll scramble, try to wrap the Post and grab a few Sunday hours for a ride, or who knows. Bonneville is breathing on us hard, then the Boot Ride, 110th Anniversary event and Las Vegas Bike Fest. I fired the 1928 Shovelhead yesterday, and Richard fired up the

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

Charles Windsor, universally acclaimed to be the most boring listless uninteresting life form to ever come into existence in the history of earth’s animal kingdom, is being crowned king of England today. Charles Windsor makes Joe Biden look like Bill Burr for sheer effervescence. If you put Charles Windsor into a compound filled with treed
