Hey, I cut across town on my Indian to attend a memorial for Paul Percell, a longstanding Hamster, who at 54 died of a heart attack, way too young. I noticed a couple of things while weaving through traffic. First, we need to pass more lane splitting laws across the country. The traffic is ridiculous.

Hey, We discuss how life is nuts. I had a meeting with the Triking Viking yesterday, and we kicked-around the future of Bikernet, BikernetTrikes, new technology, etc. It’s all good and challenging to look at magazines, the internet and the tech changes popping up daily. We are seemingly on the right path to a new

Hey, How do you feel today? I’m sorta on edge. I’m prepping for the run to Vegas BikeFest. Did you know the Chinese are planning to build a high-speed train from Los Angeles to Vegas. That could be the shit and we could dodge airports. The ride to Vegas primarily involves one fucking freeway, the

Hey, Another strange day in Paradise. I’m shifting gears trying to find Nirvana and two wheels. Good life is all a state of mind. You can get pissed that she ran off, or celebrate your freedom. You can be upset when something happens to your bike, or celebrate. Now you can build something new and

Hey, I need to rock. We are going to ride to Johnny Rockets in Manhattan Beach for lunch. I missed Sugar Bear’s 75th Party yesterday wading in concrete. But I’ll get over to see him when the party dust settles. He’s moving north and I need to make him a cool house warming present. I

Hey, We’re just back from Bonneville and sorta in a haze of constant activity, projects, mechanical hiccups, freaky weather, and massive camaraderie.

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.

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.
