Getting ready for Sturgis — Sturgis 2008
 Ahhhh, Sturgis, what can I say, how much can I say, where do I begin… In the word’s of many, it’s God’s Country. Honestly, my first trip out there, that’s exactly what I said to myself. Being from the East and the beaches, and visiting the far West coast, I had little to no

ANOTHER MIRACLE SUNDAY POST for May 3, 2015
Hey, It’s incredible. No more than minutes after the Thursday News in completed more news flies at my Panhead desk. I heard a rumor about the Hollister 4th of July event which Bikernet will Sponsor. In the past the California Highway Patrol extorted money from the city for security, as much as $300,000. They put

POURING CONCRETE SUNDAY POST FOR September 21, 2014
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

STURGIS BLUES SUNDAY POST FOR August 10, 2014
Hey, I’m still a blur from two days of driving to return home, help a brother move, clean the shop, do laundry. Hell, leaving always puts me behind the curve, so it’s a scramble. But during the process, I’m thinking about all the parties, the Badlands rides, the entire event was non-stop. For the first

HITTING THE ROAD SUNDAY POST FOR JULY 27, 2014
Hey, I went to a Barbecue with my Long Beach girl last night. She asked a myriad of questions about my sordid past and then Sturgis surface and she started asking questions about the run to the Badlands, like, “Are you ready?” I thought about one of the first rules in Buddhism about change. Everything

STRANGE MIX SUNDAY POST FOR JULY 20, 2014
Hey, This is a strange mix of news items. Fortunately there’s a handful of fun items. Sometimes the politics seems too overwhelming. Here’s something I asked myself the other day. When you’re pissed off about anything, or if you’re faced with unwanted decisions, form it or them as a challenge (meaning: dare, confront, or dispute).

PRE-BUB BONNEVILLE Sunday POST FOR AUGUST 18, 2013
Hey, This Sunday Post is a kick. It’s just fun and thought provoking. Shit, I need to hurry. I’m stripping a massive brass porthole for the front of the building. Kyle and I grappled with tools, the bead blaster, sanders, you name it. The best tool turned out to be a series of Scotch Bright

POST STURGIS SUNDAY POST FOR AUGUST 11, 2013
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

WHAT HAPPENED TO SPRING SUNDAY POST FOR APRIL 14, 2013
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

NON-STOP ACTION SUNDAY POST
Hey, Life is nuts. I was almost caught up on content, when I attempted to write the feature for the Twisted Ultimate Builder Editor’s Choice Winner from the Long Beach show, and couldn’t find a phone number, so I kicked back. What the hell, I was about to turn 65 and pondered taking a break.

STURGIS RECAP – BONNEVILLE SALT FLAT – SUNDAY POST FOR AUGUST 26, 2012
Sorry this is such a short Sunday Post. Bandit was having connectivity issues while at Bonneville, so no emails from him. What it means, however, is we’ll post a huge Thursday News. I haven’t heard from the guys today, so I’m not sure how things are going at the BUB meet. They did

STURGIS WINDING DOWN SUNDAY POST FOR AUGUST 12, 2012
Hey, I’m on the edge of my seat by trying to remain calm. Today is the 12th and we have until the 24th to arrive in Bonneville. Wired my bike this weekend, and unwrapped the super-fine stainless exhaust from D&D. I can’t plumb my bike until I have the engine. I can’t make the exhaust

BADLANDS SUNDAY POST FOR AUGUST 5, 2012
Hey, The Hamsters rolled into the Badlands yesterday, along with riders from all over the country and the world. The rally is officially underway. Hell, I posted an AFT bike feature yesterday.

Girl of Bikernet Meets a Dog
I was going crazy. I was horny as hell and had the blues as I wandered into the new Easyriders Saloon and Steakhouse in Sturgis, on Lazelle. The wind whistled across the nearly abandoned street on Thanksgiving Day. The thermometer on the outside of the new western-styled clapboard, three-story building read 39 degrees. I needed

Countdown To The Badlands Sunday Post
Hey, Sturgis is just around the corner. In fact yesterday the Hamsters left California on their week long trek to the Badlands.

LA CALENDAR SHOW SUNDAY POST
Hey, This is an incredible news. It’s got a bit of everything and some truly bad jokes. We rolled over to the reduced LA Calendar Show yesterday. Only a handful of bikes in the competition, but still a wild assortment of highclass customs and bobbers. In many respects it’s sad to see this show falter.
