Hey, Damn, it’s slightly warm here today, and of course life it nuts. A reader sent me a report on Japan’s debt and economic climate. Why is it that governments have the audacity to regulate and demand from their citizens, and can’t control themselves, their bureacuracies, and can’t balance their budgets? Seems a tad nuts […]

Hey, I’m on the edge of my seat by trying to remain calm. Today is the 12th and we have until the 24th to arrive in Bonneville. Wired my bike this weekend, and unwrapped the super-fine stainless exhaust from D&D. I can’t plumb my bike until I have the engine. I can’t make the exhaust

Hey, The Hamsters rolled into the Badlands yesterday, along with riders from all over the country and the world. The rally is officially underway. Hell, I posted an AFT bike feature yesterday. That bike and the AFT girls are on their way to Sturgis, and if you’re rolling into town, don’t miss a chance to

Bandit is on the road somewhere this weekend enjoying his new build, The Mudflap Girl Bike. We’ve been enjoying a beautiful Southern California weekend while he’s away, but tomorrow it will be back to business. I think lots of people are heading out to Sturgis because the emails are very light. Here

Nick had the blues. He broke down in Novato, California, just north of the San Francisco Bay, captured between Drakes Bay on the coast and San Pablo Bay on the inland side. It was originally the site of several Coast Miwok villages, and is now a portion of the Olompali State Historic Park. The first

Hey, I’m not sure what to make of today. Victory invited Bikernet to a new model launch, but they won’t allow us to reveal the contents until the 30th of this month. We can’t even mention the name. It’s burning a hole in our collective pockets, but we will respect their wishes. Hang on. I

As the summer sun glistened on the harbor, the warmth and clear days brought out additional Cantina customers. San Pedro city fathers cut a deal with the Los Angeles Harbor commissioners and the city of LA to allow the USS IOWA, a refurbished WWII battleship, to be permanently moored against nearby docks. Another draw to

Hey, Just returning from the Smoke Out in Rockingham, North Carolina, Mike Lichter flew into town for Born Free, and we couldn’t miss the 100th Anniversary of Motorcyclists Magazine—amazing party in sprawling, vintage motorcycle laden facilities. They have photo studios to die for. Then it was off to Born Free at Irvine Lake, where Rip’s

The walls of the prison cell seem to expand into the horizon. The stones blurring into a wall of sand. I seem to have encapsulated myself inside a sand castle. Except there is no sound of waves threatening to push down these walls. I didn’t ask for solitary confinement but my money bought me a

Hey, What the hell. I’m just back from Smoke Out 13 in Rocking Turbo, North Carolina. Up at 3:00 a.m., and snuck out of the hotel room, so Michael Lichter was caught with the bill. Prince Najar weaved all the way to the Charlotte International Airport, 98 miles. And I left a Victory Highball somewhere.

Hey, This should be interesting. Yesterday I rode over to an art exhibit in Long Beach with a couple of Hamsters. It was somewhat associated with the Ink and Iron convention on the Queen Mary this weekend. The art exhibit revolved around tattoo related dragons, Art of the Dragon. Some of this art was

Hey, We’re up and on the road at 4:00 a.m. heading to the Mojave Mile with a 1000 cc race Kawasaki, which is putting out over 170 horses, and was strapped to a tuning dyno all day Saturday. It’s Tobey’s daily rider. Okay, so it’s not a Harley, but we are giving him a hand,

A lull hung over the Cantina starting in March. Maybe it was the calm before the summer storm. Folks came and departed like clockwork, as if on tranquil drugs. They drank their booze, ate nachos and shrimp enchiladas, and paid their tabs. No drama. No kidnapped women or unusual sex on the docks or in

Hey gang, Bandit has flown the coop for a while, leaving the rest of us overworked, underpaid and underappreciated minions completely in charge. Big mistake there, stretch! While the King of the Biker Nation is living it up in the Caribbean, sailing the emerald waters of Martinique, getting hammered on rum and sampling other fine

As my eyes accustomed to the low light I thought for an instant I had died and gone to heaven. Or maybe been whisked by a modern day genie to an Aladdin’s Cave of motorcycles. But when I pinched myself it hurt, so I figured so semblance of realism inhabited this motorcycle nirvana. But let

New Zealand has a reputation as an interesting place of unparalleled beauty. Well, it is and I think most people know that. What I personally found just as interesting is that it is a land of motor heads. I have never seen a population so fascinated by anything with an engine and they will race

With all the neo-hippies marching and claiming that peace is just around the corner during the hell fire time that we call the 21st century, it’s nice to escape to a time when you could fuck, take acid, and ride the shit out of your motorcycle with reckless abandon. I’m not saying there weren’t problems,
