HEY, This is going to be a short and not so sweet Sunday news. Life moves so fast now. We need to find a way to slow it down to something manageable for us humble humans. When I spoke to Jeff Hennie last week he mentioned that the government is too busy fighting

Hey, We lost a 46-year-old staff member this week to a massive heard attack. Richard Kranzler was an inspiration, a diehard biker, a bikernet fan, an Easyriders reader, a non-stop enthusiast, a computer tech head, an internet guru, a performance nut, and a constant good friend. Richard will be sorely missed for months into years

The 111-yard passage nicknamed ‘Harry’ by Allied prisoners was sealed by the Germans after the audacious break-out from the POW camp Stalag Luft III in western Poland. Despite huge interest in the subject, encouraged by the film starring Steve McQueen, the tunnel remained undisturbed over the decades because it was behind

Hey, My mind is whirling this Sunday. I’m scrambling to finish the post and hit the road. I road my FXR with new Progressive shocks to the club last night for the Valentines gig, but I had no Valentine. I heard stories about the port of Los Angeles trying to eliminate marinas for more

Hey, It’s SuperBowl Sunday and no one will read this news. Maybe not. I need to peel out early, cut a dusty trail. See a girl about something, study the Dharma and watch the game. It’s going to be terrific, or maybe not. Whatever happens, it’s going to be another amazing day. BIKERNET BAD JOKE

Hey, I’m reading a book by a doctor Howard C. Cutler and the Dalai Lama on Happiness. I’m also reading a book about the history of man. They talk about civilizations in Turkey 7000 years before Christ. I’m also trying to read a book about our financial situation leading into 2016. I also listened to

Hey, This is a strange day in paradise. I asked a brother last night if he was going to watch the SuperBowl. “Hell no,” the Triking Viking muttered. “I’m going for a ride. It’s one of the best days to ride.” Damn good thought. Let’s hit the news. We fired the King’s Discovery Channel bike

Hey, It’s been raining here for a couple of days, sorta like Seattle. The Easyriders show came to Long Beach this weekend and we checked it out. Ben will write a report. It was good to see some of the old bros. From time to time I publish something from a reader. Then, another

Hey, This is an interesting one. We are running at life fast and furious. We peeled through the holidays, and never slowed down, except for maybe a minute. So, how do we make a difference in 2015? It’s up to us, to stop doing anything that hurts us, our families, our brotherhood, or our country.

  Hey, Happy Holidays, and avoid the Miracle Mung if possible. Markus Cuff had it for three weeks. I thought it was a 24-hour bug, but that was four days ago, and I still can’t talk. Maybe it’s a good day to watch football and drink whiskey. Let’s hit the news:  SOMETHING FROM

Hey, I tried to take the day off Saturday, but that’s not really possible, so I slept some, and then scrambled. I clammored around the headquarters, taking care of the animals, fixing plants fucked with by the storm, sweeping, and thinking about motorcycles, women, and stuff. I made a list last night and I needed

Hey, Another whacked out weekend. It’s interesting how time flies. I had a plan to start my charity bronze sculpture this weekend, but it’s gone, I mean the time. Ah, but all is not lost. Lots were accomplished this weekend and I’m rapidly catching up on writing assignments. I roughed out Pat Patterson’s Led Sled

Hey, Damn, we’re flying at Thanksgiving like we put a turbo on the calendar. I hammer the MRF, Motorcycle Riders Foundation, to up their membership efforts. I believe they are the only true, honest, national motorcycle freedom fighting entity in the US and we need to support them. We also support NCOM which is made

Hey, An associate jammed over to the Long Beach Ultimate Builder Show by J&P and came back with his impressions of the electric H-D bike and the show. Here’s his report, “The electric bikes are cool, but only good for 25 miles going fast. Nothing startling at the show, new models and such.” I crawled

Okay, we gotta admit it’s a tiny bit macabre to find a stellar group of antique, vintage and high performance motorcycles on display at a cemetery, literally the last place a bike fan wants to visit. But there was lively reasoning behind the appearance of 13 “celebrity” two-wheelers at the Forest Lawn Memorial

Hey, I could have attended the last Love Ride yesterday. We received a highly secret inside report. Ever since the economy crashed in 2008 the Love Ride has struggled.

Hey, I don’t know what to make of this, but I’m trying. More importantly how will any of this effect motorcycling in the future?
