Hey, I’m having fun today. I’ve been thinking about and “tinking” as I say about the issues we face and if there are solutions. You know there are. Maybe it’s because I’m left-handed or was born premature and just 5 pounds and now I’m 225 and 6’5”. You got me? But I like to help

Motorcycle Riders Foundation Announces the Freedom Fighters Hall of Fame Motorcycling remains as one of the last true bastions of Freedom. The independence and exhilaration of being “in the wind” can only be understood and appreciated by those who experience it. We all know that “freedom is not free”, and for six

Hey, It’s Sunday and Memorial Day and time to think, respect and reflect. I discovered through one of my best friends, Dr. Hamster, something more we all need to think about. It’s one of the mysteries of human existence and life. I’m in the process of trying to figure out why the government wants to

HEY, THIS IS A GOOD ONE—I’m blown away daily about things I learn. I’m more confused than I was on Thursday with the news. But fuck it, let’s party. We received the opportunity to drive a Vanderhall Venice Trike. Amazing! The entire driveline is GMC with a four-cylinder turbo-charged engine and front wheel drive. Let’s

Hey, There’s a rush in the wind. I can smell it in the air. The winds of change are all around us and there’s one thing for certain. Change never stops. So what could it be? I would like to dream about a new movie, a story that will return freedom to the mix. Maybe

Hey, It’s that day. Guys are setting up at the David Mann Chopper Fest. Some of the brothers rode to Ventura to party in the streets last night. Someone showed me a bag of magic mushrooms and I ran the opposite direction. Some of us are trying to get out to the tattoo exhibit at

Hey, We are living through interesting times. They are perplexing times and in some respects I don’t get it. When the whole Global Warming threat kicked off so many folks gave into it, as if to say, “The oil companies have fucked with us in the past, I guess the regulators must be right.” All

Hey, Damn, it’s already that time of the year and the holidays will be gone in a flash. I will give pause all week long to give thanks to all the people who have been a wonderful part of my life this year. We’ve accomplished so much on Bikernet, with bikes, with our headquarters and

Hey, I’ll try this again. Don’t forget Daylight Savings Time and roll back your clocks. I rode my new/old Panhead again yesterday. Dr. Hamster picked up his rebuilt Pan engine from Bennett’s Performance yesterday and brought it to the shop. We’re getting close to starting to assemble this classic. I moved Frankie’s Dyna from the

Hey, It’s not thanksgiving but I want to acknowledge something: Friends, brothers and associates. Two things caused me to think about this topic. One, I’ve been thinking about escaping restrictive, congested, California for Deadwood South Dakota. Second, because I am spending more time with my grandson Frank and talking with him about his future plans.

Hey, Interesting week ahead, but first consider anything you can do to help disaster victims in our various states. I always trust the American Red Cross, but there are lots of valid agencies. Support our brothers and sisters everywhere, quick. I can’t imagine what it would be like to lose your home. I’m catching

Hey, It’s interesting how life can twist. Sometimes we like it and others we don’t, but it never stops twisting and turning until the end. Then as we have discovered there isn’t an end… You will see in this piece many twists and turns of the industry, motorcycling, you name it. Many of us look

Hey, I’m scrambling on my Sturgis ’17 article to be posted next week. A bunch is flying through my mind now that Sturgis is behind me. We need to be in Bonneville with the Salt Torpedo next year. That’s a must. I’ll be 70 and brothers all around me are slipping away. When I say

HEY, So, Bandit left town and left me holding the bag. DAMN! OH WELL, Here we go… My neighbors moved out a month ago and their old property has been under contract since a few days after they left. My husband and I have been watching and waiting to see what kind of neighbors would

Hey, So many newspaper and magazine reports make no sense. They all attack one element or another in society. But yesterday I came across something finally interesting, as if this guy understood the code of the west. This came from David Leonhardt of The New York Times (published in the Week Magazine.) If our political

Hey, It’s a strange day in Paradise. Let me see if I can lay this out for you. We finished painting the side of the building for the mural, then the city called. I get to pay for the mural, and must have everyone’s permission and input on the content. That’s not all. I need

Hey, Yep, another holiday weekend and the parties are starting everywhere. Except the Wilmington ghetto, where no one will come to party on the fourth. We will keep watch over the port, while being able to see fireworks in all directions. If the sky is reasonably clear we can see the flashes in the sky from

Hey, We are in a building frenzy. Guys are building for Born Free, the Smoke Out, Sturgis, Bonneville, you name it. It feels good to be in a two-wheeled creative space. There’s something interesting about the biker spirit. Building a bike is similar to painting on canvas, except it has additional function, like it runs,

Hey, Happy Memorial Day. Take a minute or an hour to respect what soldiers and freedom fighters have done for this country. Commemorate the lives lost in Military service. This holiday began even before the Civil War as a tradition to decorate cemeteries on the last Monday in May. It is also kicks off of

Hey, I’m actually building another motorcycle, a Panhead, sorta. There’s something about digging around the shop and wrenching that feels damn good. I would rather work in the shop than hang out at any bar. In the past the only thing that would pull me away from the shop would be a redhead. I also

Hey, This is an interesting weekend with Cinco De Mayo just behind us and Buddha’s Birthday in front. It’s a beautiful day and I hope everyone gets to celebrate something, maybe even a warm day and a well-running motorcycle. Celebrate something today, even a short ride to some place special or someone special. Let’s hit
DE MAYO SUNDAY POST for May 7, 2017 Read More »
Hey, Hang on. I took a subscription to the Wall Street Journal. I’ve never liked papers. I read the Week Magazine cover to cover. I watch C-span for what’s happening. I don’t watch any news programs except the BBC and it seems to be dying. My mother recently passed and she had a small stock

Hey, Life is nuts. Just turn on the television. There’s a side of me that wants to ride into Arizona and hide in the rocks from all the bullshit and infighting. I’m just an old biker, but to me it’s all easy. Freedom works. If both sides would put freedom first they would come to
