The INDIAN Restoration Saga Continues

It was late August 2013, and I had nothing to do that Saturday, so I took a look on the internet for motorcycle events that day. I discovered a ā€œBig Bad Motorcycle Showā€ at the NW Harley dealership in Lacey, Washington. I decided to ride my recently painted 1946 Chief (jade green and crĆØme) just to see what was going on. I arrived at 12:00 noon sharp, and as I pulled in to the parking lot a tattooed cutie came running up to me. She pleaded with me to enter the Chief in the show. Keep reading.

LAWS, ACTION AND BAD JOKES RETURN TO THE BIKERNET WEEKLY NEWS for April 21st, 2016

Hey, About Freedom. We seem to live in a society admonishing Freedom as a thing of the past. I had a conversation with Dennis Manning. The EPA told him point blank that they are controlling everything that rolls, and ultimately custom motorcycles had to be apart of the mix. So, why isnā€™t it the other way around? Why donā€™t government agencies have a mandate to find freedom, not control? I had a notion. The EPA was started as an advisory group. So, letā€™s start a freedom advisory group.
