Published in Easyriders Magazine in 1981 Xmas issue By Bandit, Mike and Billy Tinney This is too strange. I bought a house in Deadwood in the historic President’s district.

What an interesting week. We are scrambling with the Salt Torpedo. I trying to outfit the new Bikernet Salt Flats Van for the trip to Bonneville. I’ve been in touch with various Easyriders contributors and now ex-staff members regarding the future. A few of us have been super-lucky to make a living in the motorcycle

From Welding to Epoxy Filler and Aerodynamics This whole process has been a test of desires, wills, and emotional stability.

Hey, This feels like Turmoil weekend with Trump attacking the marijuana industry, the HORSE magazine troubles, Easyriders deal shifted and the Chopper King Show in jeopardy. Hell, three women melted down before my eyes on Friday. Jeremiah blamed it on the Super Moon. Let me know if you’ve experienced upheaval in your life this week.

Hey, It’s all in the wind. I’m watching a series called Ozark. It’s a mess. Have you watched House of Cards? Talk about a train wreck. It has no social redeeming value. It’s all evil. I stopped watching it after a couple of episodes. I don’t like watching shows that turn all negative or immoral.

This is a quirky story, but it’s all good. I met a guy named Steve Curran at a brisk Easyriders show in fog-strewn Seattle in the mid-90s where I met my Indian and Steve’s ’59 Panhead. A short squat but stand-up guy, we talked because of his love of martial arts and his bike.

Hey, Why is it that every morning you can wake up and change your thoughts. Maybe I’m a sensitive artist type and highly influenced by my surroundings. The city wants to kick me out of my building, and I struggle with the VA, but then someone says something amazing to me, or complements Bikernet, and

Hey, I woke up lost this morning. I wanted to get up early and hit the post, but I slept funky. I woke up with questions and concerns blasting around my head like rats on acid. Yesterday we entered my 2014 Indian in the Long Beach Easyriders Show, then we scooted over around noon to

Hey, We are entering another bullshit time in history, spurred by gangsters and thugs. They can call it Jihad or give it some religious excuse, but it’s bullshit from bullies. During a time of giving thanks we are also looking at a twisted world and at the future of our own government. We’re ready for

Hey, We had a party last night and the Redhead of Redheads is a little under the weather this morning. Some of the group stumbled toward Maya’s to return the catering gear, have Huevos Rancheros and loads of Java. I listened to several reports on the show, and a complete rundown on the Marijuana industry.

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.

Here we go, I’m not sure where to start this morning. The industry is still in Cincy, although many are trying to find a way to watch the Super Bowl. We will have several reports from the front, most were good, but some spelled doom and gloom. That’s always the case. I looked up a

Happy New Year, We will hit the bricks running. Even today, I’ll be making final adjustments to my son’s Mudflap girl FXR. It’s so close. It’s time to make brake lines, bleed the brakes, add the hoses, fluids and wiring. Then I need to dig a ditch out back and prepare to move the iron

I was going crazy. I was horny as hell and had the blues as I wandered into the new Easyriders Saloon and Steakhouse in Sturgis, on Lazelle. The wind whistled across the nearly abandoned street on Thanksgiving Day. The thermometer on the outside of the new western-styled clapboard, three-story building read 39 degrees. I needed
