Hey, It’s all in the wind. I’m watching a series called Ozark. It’s a mess. Have you watched House of Cards? Talk about a train wreck. It has no social redeeming value. It’s all evil. I stopped watching it after a couple of episodes. I don’t like watching shows that turn all negative or immoral. […]

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. Markus Cuff lensed some of the best-looking tattooed babes in the world over the last decade or two, and once in awhile we discuss candidates for Girls of Bikernet. “But

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.

Hey, We are scrambling, as usual, trying to save the world and build cool motorcycles. What more could be better, unless, like Jeremiah found a new girl and Bandit found another bottle of “The good stuff.” We talked to Willy about our 5-Ball Racing bike trailer for the run to Sturgis. I spoke to Mr.

Hey, Yep, another holiday weekend and the parties are starting everywhere. Except the Wilmington ghetto, where no one will come to party on the fourth.

Hey, We are in a building frenzy. Guys are building for Born Free, the Smoke Out, Sturgis, Bonneville, you name it. It feels good to be in a two-wheeled creative space.

Hey, Amazing, the Redhead of Redheads and I drove out to the Costa Mesa Fair Grounds for Harley Night at the Speedway Races. We stopped for a bite to eat as the race kicked off, so we were just 20 minutes late. It was cool with June gloom as the sun slipped away. Parking was

Hey, This is a bittersweet week. Easyriders auction didn’t work for the owner. Last we heard staff members were clearing out their offices. I keep hoping members of the staff would rally together, get a loan and find a new path for the brand. There is always another path available. I’ve been very fortunate to

Hey, I’m actually building another motorcycle, a Panhead, sorta. There’s something about digging around the shop and wrenching that feels damn good. I would rather work in the shop than hang out at any bar. In the past the only thing that would pull me away from the shop would be a redhead. I also

Hey, I’m lost in the maze of life once more. Hell, I don’t know whether to bring it up. But we can’t give up. I don’t get why folks want to have mandatory this and that. Usually governments stumble and fail constantly. We can’t give up, but I’m in a quandary about the growth of

Hey, Hang on. I took a subscription to the Wall Street Journal. I’ve never liked papers. I read the Week Magazine cover to cover. I watch C-span for what’s happening. I don’t watch any news programs except the BBC and it seems to be dying. My mother recently passed and she had a small stock

Marko rode his stretched FXR over to the Chowder Barge, the only floating restaurant in the Los Angeles Harbor, owned by a former Bandit girlfriend, Sin Wu.
