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 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, 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.

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

Hey, I took my grandson to the Long Beach Swap Meet today, that’s why the news is running late. We didn’t find all the parts we needed for his ’05 Dyna repairs, but I did buy a beautiful new Kraft Tech Rigid frame. Do I need another frame, oh hell no. It’s nuts, but what

Hey, This is an interesting day. I’ve been watching CSPAN, which covers the actual hearings and debates. I watched a lengthy interview with the brilliant guy who is taking over the Health care end of the government. He explained the repeal of Obamacare in a solid, easy-to-understand terms. It’s amazing when the story is told

Hey, A reader sent me a tough comment today about the news. He didn’t like the politics. I would like to know which politics he doesn’t like, helmet laws, Trump, or Climate Change? Believe me, and I said it the other day, I would rather chase redheads, whiskey and ride choppers than talk about politics

Hey, I’m coming up on a challenge. I’m working on a panel discussion about emissions for the V-twin Expo next week in Cincinnati. Remember, as young men growing up in the hippy generation, we were told to question authority. In a sense that’s what I’m doing big time. It’s been an uphill battle, and basically

Hey, This is incredible. Think about it. A hundred years ago the human race was just slipping into the industrial revolution and we were heading into WWII against fascism.
