Hey, This is a strange one. I recently started working with Chris Kranzler, since Sin Wu peeled out. Chris has been invaluable to all of our recent efforts. Last night she had a heart attack. She is also constantly tortured by the effects of MS. We are hanging on for her to recover. The second

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, I don’t know about you, but life is strange and more bizarre by the day. Is it too much population? Just this week I read about drones being used domestically, sports taking over for religion, and security cameras expanding their reach into our lives. And of course how computer access will monitor every aspect

Hey, This could be a good one and a departure from the usual Sunday Post. We have three staff members in the region of the impending Sandy Hurricane and wish them well in the hours ahead. On one hand we have jokes and cute girls, and on the other hand the storm of the century

Hey, It’s another wild weekend at the Bikernet Interplanetary Headquarters in the Wilmington ghetto on the edge of the Port of Los Angeles. Just when we think life might simmer, the weekend explodes. I started to work on a tech about ordering hydraulic brake lines for motorcycles, while messing with the Bikernet advertising program for
There’s a surprising amount of old American iron around these parts of the Netherlands, two wheels and four, some left over from the war, others brought over from the U.S. for avid collectors that can’t get enough of anything from the good ‘ole U.S. of A. These two Indians that Mart owns are neither

The walls of the prison cell seem to expand into the horizon. The stones blurring into a wall of sand. I seem to have encapsulated myself inside a sand castle. Except there is no sound of waves threatening to push down these walls. I didn’t ask for solitary confinement but my money bought me a

Hey, We’re up and on the road at 4:00 a.m. heading to the Mojave Mile with a 1000 cc race Kawasaki, which is putting out over 170 horses, and was strapped to a tuning dyno all day Saturday. It’s Tobey’s daily rider. Okay, so it’s not a Harley, but we are giving him a hand,

This week’s Digital Discovery brings us back in time; call it chopper archeology if you will. Our friend Deano Masouras recently unearthed an old issue of Choppers Magazine from December 1968 and was nice enough to scan a few pages for us. You’re looking at a feature of Ed Roth’s famous Candy Wagon. Enjoy

Hey gang, Bandit has flown the coop for a while, leaving the rest of us overworked, underpaid and underappreciated minions completely in charge. Big mistake there, stretch! While the King of the Biker Nation is living it up in the Caribbean, sailing the emerald waters of Martinique, getting hammered on rum and sampling other fine

As my eyes accustomed to the low light I thought for an instant I had died and gone to heaven. Or maybe been whisked by a modern day genie to an Aladdin’s Cave of motorcycles. But when I pinched myself it hurt, so I figured so semblance of realism inhabited this motorcycle nirvana. But let

New Zealand has a reputation as an interesting place of unparalleled beauty. Well, it is and I think most people know that. What I personally found just as interesting is that it is a land of motor heads. I have never seen a population so fascinated by anything with an engine and they will race

For those of us drawn to the somewhat fringe zone of postcard collecting and research, a passion/addiction officially known as Deltiology, good things indeed come in small packages. Those outside the postcard world are probably unaware that it is the third largest collecting hobby in the world, next to coin and stamp collecting, usually 4

Hey, In this down economy opportunities surface. Take for instance this little company 5-Ball Inc. and all the projects we have in store for 2012 with Sturgis, Bonneville, bike building, site building, more books, you name it. Take a look at our tiny niche industry. Lots of companies are gone, but I still believe motorcycles

The arguably rare, at least to Western eyes, Hungarian Pannonia 250 had been perfectly matched to Duna “bullet nose” sidecar when found by its owner, an admitted “professional computer geek whilst at the 2009 Daytona Bike Week where she ambled into the motorcycle auction to find a bike suitable for AHRMA bike racing. “Unfortunately that

It was dark the night I rode into Rockingchair, North Carolina and found a small dank bar in the back of a motel. I don’t remember a name on the dark front as I rolled in on my stretched Shovelhead. It wasn’t anything to look at, and neither was I. I had ridden a thousand

Hey, Another crazy day in paradise. The first Mudflap FXR will be running tomorrow. I tuned the Compu-fire ignition last night, while waiting for Sin Wu to deliver my dinner at midnight. Setting up and tuning a Compu-Fire ignition is the easiest on the planet. You can’t go wrong, and once it’s tuned you never
