Hey, I don’t know about you, but life is strange and more bizarre by the day. Is it too much population? Just this week I read about drones being used domestically, sports taking over for religion, and security cameras expanding their reach into our lives. And of course how computer access will monitor every aspect […]

Hey, It’s another wild weekend at the Bikernet Interplanetary Headquarters in the Wilmington ghetto on the edge of the Port of Los Angeles. Just when we think life might simmer, the weekend explodes. I started to work on a tech about ordering hydraulic brake lines for motorcycles, while messing with the Bikernet advertising program for
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,

 This week’s Digital Discovery brings us back in time; call it chopper archeology if you will. Our friend Deano Masouras recently unearthed an old issue of Choppers Magazine from December 1968 and was nice enough to scan a few pages for us. You’re looking at a feature of Ed Roth’s famous Candy Wagon. Enjoy

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

Hey, In this down economy opportunities surface. Take for instance this little company 5-Ball Inc. and all the projects we have in store for 2012 with Sturgis, Bonneville, bike building, site building, more books, you name it. Take a look at our tiny niche industry. Lots of companies are gone, but I still believe motorcycles

Hey, It’s Halloween and the cute girls are out, wearing the hottest outfits. It was outfit city around here all week, girls coming and going scouring through Sin Wu’s secret stash. Of course we were in the shop trying to figure out the Salt shaker. We have install a new Dyna S single fire ignition

Hey, Another crazy day in paradise. The first Mudflap FXR will be running tomorrow. I tuned the Compu-fire ignition last night, while waiting for Sin Wu to deliver my dinner at midnight. Setting up and tuning a Compu-Fire ignition is the easiest on the planet. You can’t go wrong, and once it’s tuned you never

Hey, This is going to be a wild one, and I’m trying to shorten it, so I can finish wiring my Mudflap Girl FXR. It dawned on me that I have no hydraulic brake lines for this puppy. Well, actually John Reed sent me some, but I just haven’t headed down that road yet. If

Harry Sucher documented the inner workings of Indian History, and wrote the stellar archival book, The Iron Redskin. Harry started his research when the original Indian builders, designers, and executives were still around. In the back of The Iron Redskin, in the appendix on Crocker motorcycles Harry featured a close friend, the master Crocker builder

Hey, It’s a short one, this weekend, but packed with good info. We are just back from a Vegas Bikefest whirlwind weekend. We finished the Thursday News, then Ray C. Wheeler, Bikernet Performance Editor, and I, jumped in the Bikernet Hearse and cut a dusty trail into the Mojave desert toward the Nevada border. I

Hey, We are running late with the post. We hit the Long Beach swap meet to collect parts for the Mudflap Girl bikes, Bonneville projects for next year, you name it. That damn, every two week event was jammed, and it was just followed by the El Camino Vintage Swapmeet, yesterday 10 miles away. Since

Hey, Life is nuts and so is the news. Get this, the Post office is about cooked. They need to downsize or they will be out of business. They just don’t compete anymore with e-mail, UPS, or Fedex. They can’t pay the 5.5 billion dollar payment to fund future retirees’ healthcare benefits. Seems Congress has

Hey, It’s another perfect day in Paradise. We worked on my Mudflap girl FXR most of yesterday modifying and mounting the Custom Chrome rear fender. We installed the new Progressive shocks and continue to monkey with the wheel and chain alignment. I need to think about a chain guard and some mounting issues with the
Just a quickie Sunday Post since most of the industry is in Sturgis. Not many emails coming in, so enjoy this short and sweet post. ~Nyla Deer season is around the corner, so I thought I’??d better send out a reminder about what a Whitetail looks like! A guy who lives at Lake Conroe– (50 miles north of

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,
