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. I made my way to the bar to order my meal tickets and another biker leaned against the bar. “What happened to the weather?” He said. This guy […]

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

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. The editorial covered energy consumption and global warming. It basically said we were supposed to reduce energy consumption by

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

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,

I’m writing this in 2013 and life is scrambling. Bikernet has tripled in size, my girl left me, and we have two Bonneville projects rolling. We are more involved in the industry than ever before, and the projects in this old hotel never end. Plus, we are two weeks from Christmas 2013 and it’s Friday

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

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. Bandit sat on a rusting galvanized bucket and tossed a line in the briny water. “Just

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. We had a lot of catching up to do and ate breakfast of Mole enchilidas this morning at the little Mexican restaurant up the street, Maya’s. This small restaurant in an old brick building,

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,

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

For those who aren’t privileged to have a year round riding season, the 2013 riding season has gotten off to an interesting start. First, record cold and snow was reported in dozens of cities in early spring, with the worst of the weather hammering the Rockies, upper Midwest and northern Plains. We’ve already seen a

I was on interstate 5 in the middle of the night heading for Fresno to an MMA run. Alone on a ’48 Panhead I pulled into the Gorman truck stop for fuel and to oil my primary chain. Gorman, the pit of stops at the peek of the Grapevine vibrated to the rumble of constant

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. She traded it for a floating restaurant on the Los Angeles Harbor. She is now having the time of her life running a floating barge, and making

Hey, Sorry about the late Sunday/Monday post. I was supposed to arrive in Los Angeles from Greece in about 1:00 p.m. dash back to the headquarters and slam out the Sunday News, but nooo. I had to miss my first flight and that threw the entire day off. If I caught the first flight, I

Hey, It seems quiet today. Hopefully it’s not the lull before the storm. Actually, two days ago it was 90 degrees, today it will hit 68, and 66 and rain tomorrow, so the storm is coming. I rode the Mudflap Girl to my mountain to say a prayer for my first wife. She’s dying of

Hey, Is life wild or what. As you will see in the news the government can’t do anything right, but they want to tell us how to run our lives, or restrict them constantly. But let’s not even go there. Next weekend the Hamsters are heading to Paso Robles for a wine run, lots of

This discovery is thanks to Charles Plueddeman, who works for Harley-Davidson as a freelance public relations specialist. He also loves to collect old publications, and he turned Bikernet onto a batch of old do-it-yourself mags from the ’50s and ’60s. This particular issue contained a couple exciting stories for the Bikernet staff. The mystery continues

Hey, Life is nuts. I rarely get sick or have problems with my teeth. I was hit twice this month, and I feel like I’m burning daylight. The projects don’t go away because you’re down with the mung. In fact a brother just reminded me to write a Cantina Soap episode, and I’ve got a
