BAD JOKES AND BITCHIN’ BABES SUNDAY POST FOR March 2, 2014
Hey, I don’t know what to say this morning. It’s been raining steady for a couple of days, and California needs it bad, but I live at a very scary sea-level. If it’s high tide when the rains come, the streets won’t drain and we are forced to wait for the tide to recede. I’m

BALANCED REPORTING AND BABES SUNDAY POST — for February 23, 2014

PRESIDENT’S DAY SUNDAY POST FOR February 16, 2014
Hey, Another perfect day in paradise. I rode with Kyle, the official Bikernet Electrician, to the Yacht club for dinner. What a beautiful night on the harbor.

HEATHER — Girl of Bikernet for January 2014
Could Heather Be the One? Life is nuts. Look at this babe, shot by Jack in Daytona while hanging at the Hawaiian Tropic estate. She’s a guest, natch. She could be the guest of almost any guy at anytime. Hell, even the bike has a Miami Vice hue. Heather is a regular

FREEDOM LOVING SUNDAY POST FOR Sunday January 26, 2014
Hey, I’ll make this quick. I woke up this morning and grabbed my first cup of coffee. I sat in bed reading the January 31 issue of The Week Magazine. Several reports jumped out at me.

Pamela’s Calendar Shoot
I was on the New Jersey side of the river in the Campbell Soup Headquarters Building parking lot doing this shoot. I planned the shoot for early in the morning so that no one would be around to bother us. Well, wouldn’t you know my best laid plans backfired as usual, and there was

PRE NEW YEARS SUNDAY POST FOR 12-29-13
Happy New Years, I spilled my guts about some of our 2014 moves, and I realized some were not strictly within the carefully outlined and strict Bikernet Code of the West. How about that deal with the fastener company based in India? It’s not exactly within the motorcycle industry. I’ve often said over the years,

Episode 66: The Final Interview
Martha rolled up in her all-black Ford Ranger pickup right on time for her second interview. Marko met her at the door. She dressed as if she came to work, wearing soft bar shoes. She eyed the girl’s uniforms last time, and came close to mimicking their Cantina gathered skirts and Spanish, cleavage-enhanced tops. “You

Episode 65: The New Bartender
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.

GIRLS OF BIKERNET SUNDAY POST FOR JULY 21, 2013
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

Hey, I’m getting a late start. A magnificent redhead from my past wandered into my life recently and spent the night.

Digital Discovery for June 2013–Carburetor Mystery Investigation
EDITOR’S NOTE: This is a good one. I was interviewing 23-year-old Jesse Srpan for an American Iron/Bikernet biker feature article and I mentioned the SU carb on his dad’s Panhead. “Do you know what SU stands for? Jesse said. I didn’t. “It stands for Skinners Union, meat packers made these carbs.” That’s a good story,

FATHER’S DAY SUNDAY POST FOR JUNE 16, 2013
Happy Father’s Day, I woke up at 5:56 this morning and wondered what hit me yesterday. A close friend stopped by yesterday and suggested I run for Congress instead of trying to secure a grant for the study of more educational opportunities and trade school expansion. He’s nuts. Last night a very important person from

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.
