Hey, This weekend was wild with shows from the big Ultimate Builder Show in Long Beach, the David Mann Choppersfest going on in Ventura right now, and the MoonEyes Christmas party. I better get to the news quick. It’s cold in the shop and I need to scramble back to the Ultimate Builder […]
The Wild West Weekend Of Shows Sunday Post for December 8, 2013 Read More »
   So, I’m working in this chopper shop run by George the Greek, who ultimately owned Bellflower Harley-Davidson. It was grubby and dark, with a long wooden bench bolted to one wall. My boss, Bob something, was a custom fabricator, and a good one. He built some wild bikes over the years. He

Hey, I’m excited about next year, but it will be challenging, to say the least. Maybe daunting is the correct word. But I always need to keep my prospectives alert and balanced. About the time you think you have problems, look around. Check this: An Ohio Walmart store is holding a Thanksgiving food drive for

Hey, I say it’s never a dull moment around here, but last night took the cake under a brilliant full moon reflecting in the semi-still waters of the San Pedro Yacht Club Marina, on the wrong side of town. It’s odd that the SPYC is actually housed on the dark Wilmington side of the Port

Hey, I’m scattered this morning. I’m trying to encourage some of these kids around here to think of their futures and even make a list every day or week. There is so much to be handled from the family aspect, the spiritual, the home, the fun stuff, the business, and the creative. No wonder kids
VETERANS FOR FREEDOM Sunday POST — Sunday, November 11th, 2013 Read More »
The small towns on the eastern plains of Colorado are not a hot spot for employment. In fact to find a job is dam hard. Carmen found one of the only fair paying jobs in town. A big win for her as she got to make small bucks and do something she loved, play

Hey, Don’t forget to turn your clocks back. Is life nuts or what? You’re gonna love this. I’m 65 and looking for a date. Fortunately, I have lots of long-distance love supporting me from ex-wives and even a 25-year-old. I should be satisfied, but I’m still looking. It’s sorta like riding a Hyabusa off a

Hey, The brothers are at the Long Beach Swap Meet while we pound out the Sunday Post. It’s been sorta overcast. I’m a nut. I’m not sure where I got it, maybe it was Lou Kimzey, who was the mastermind behind Easyriders. He hired me, at 22 years of age, to the be the manager

  Hey,  I’m making this short since I just cruised in from Catalina Island on the tall ship Irving Johnson. It was a bucket list endeavor. Irving Johnson started this training endeavor in the ‘50s building tall ships all over the world to train kids in the old tough ways of sailing the

Hey, Does anyone know the ins and outs of shop roll-up doors? Ours may need some help. Of course the guy who came over pronounced after a short inspection, “You need a new door, quick.” That’s just $4,000. Ouch. Biketoberfest is coming right up, and so is the Love Ride next weekend on opposite coasts.

Hey, This is going to a be short and sweet Sunday Post. Some of the staff were attacked by the Chinese Mung Flu and unable to climb out of their bunks. Others tested way too much whiskey. And of course the Asian massage parlor on a Saturday night was jumping. So let’s just hit the

Hey, This is the first of the new Sunday Post regime. It was 90 degrees in my shop today, and I was going to say that Bikernet was taken over by a massive Chinese conglomerate of corporations. They own half the world. But Bikernet would still be assembled in the United States. And we would

Hey, Got an early start this morning. I’ll scramble, try to wrap the Post and grab a few Sunday hours for a ride, or who knows. Bonneville is breathing on us hard, then the Boot Ride, 110th Anniversary event and Las Vegas Bike Fest. I fired the 1928 Shovelhead yesterday, and Richard fired up the

Hey, I’m getting a late start. A magnificent redhead from my past wandered into my life recently and spent the night. We had a lot of catching up to do and ate breakfast of Mole enchilidas this morning at the little Mexican restaurant up the street, Maya’s. This small restaurant in an old brick building,

Hey, Life is absolutely amazing. There are so many opportunities out there. Remember the too-cool bobber Kent, at Lucky Devil Metal Works, in Houston built for Nyla. She traded it for a floating restaurant on the Los Angeles Harbor. She is now having the time of her life running a floating barge, and making

Hey, Sorry about the late Sunday/Monday post. I was supposed to arrive in Los Angeles from Greece in about 1:00 p.m. dash back to the headquarters and slam out the Sunday News, but nooo. I had to miss my first flight and that threw the entire day off. If I caught the first flight, I

Hey, It seems quiet today. Hopefully it’s not the lull before the storm. Actually, two days ago it was 90 degrees, today it will hit 68, and 66 and rain tomorrow, so the storm is coming. I rode the Mudflap Girl to my mountain to say a prayer for my first wife. She’s dying of

Hey, Is life wild or what. As you will see in the news the government can’t do anything right, but they want to tell us how to run our lives, or restrict them constantly. But let’s not even go there. Next weekend the Hamsters are heading to Paso Robles for a wine run, lots of

Hey, Life is nuts. I rarely get sick or have problems with my teeth. I was hit twice this month, and I feel like I’m burning daylight. The projects don’t go away because you’re down with the mung. In fact a brother just reminded me to write a Cantina Soap episode, and I’ve got a

Hey, I put my Mudflap Girl FXR back together with the new Hi-4 single-fire ignition, and coil from Crane, with Nology spark plug wires. The bike lean snaps like crazy at the low end. I rode it to Bennett’s and we messed with the timing and fuel mixture, but nothing made a difference—frustrating. Is there

Happy Easter, But we still needed to complete the Sunday Post. It’s been a wild weekend starting on Good Friday, as we scrambled to complete the minor changes to Bob Bitchin’s new stretched FXR.

Hey, A friend stopped over last night. He came to Long Beach to be given a lifetime membership in the Southern California Judo Association. He’s a sharp cookie. He mentioned that AR-15s are like the least used weapon for murder in the US, and actually the most-used weapon is a baseball bat. Should we ban
