You’ll read a couple of stanzas from a Robert Service poem later in the news. These stanzas hit the nail on the head. You’ll see a full report next week on our Bonneville […]

Hey, I went to a Barbecue with my Long Beach girl last night. She asked a myriad of questions about my sordid past and then Sturgis surface and she started asking questions about the run to the Badlands, like, “Are you ready?” I thought about one of the first rules in Buddhism about change. Everything

Hey, As usual life is nuts. I took a drive around the port with Dr. Hamster yesterday, and the port is tearing the shit outta Wilmington to enhance port operations, and they don’t have an approved plans. We have a plan for the Wilmington Waterfront approved in 2009 and nothing has been completed—no money they

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,

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, This is one of those days, and they seem to surface more often. Maybe it’s the myriad of communication devices. Perhaps it’s the non-stop nature of life, our expanding resources, or the Bikernet non-stop mantra and creative spirit. About the time we feel confident with the completion of one project, three more land in

Hey, Life is nuts. I was almost caught up on content, when I attempted to write the feature for the Twisted Ultimate Builder Editor’s Choice Winner from the Long Beach show, and couldn’t find a phone number, so I kicked back. What the hell, I was about to turn 65 and pondered taking a break.
