Can-Am Ryker: A Small and Agile Three-Wheeler

General Posts / By

The all new 2024 version is out and about by Ujjwal Dey The first thing you notice about the 2024 Can-Am Ryker is of course that it is advertised as a “three-wheeled motorcycle.” For those who love and ride motorcycles, there is no such thing. You got one wheel too many to call it a motorcycle. The name Ryker is not of Biblical origin nor a Bavarian legend. It is a silly portmanteau on “Ride”-“Biker” with a “Y” replacing it to re-invent the three-wheeled thing called “Ryker.” Plus, it rhymes with Can-Am Spyder.

March Hare Rally 2024

General Posts / By

Blow by blow account from ground zero by Graeme Lowen I was able to persuade Terry Woods to come along to the March Hare with me and Keegan. Terry is riding his old FHL Harley-Davidson affectionately known as Poo Brown (mainly because of its faded brown color I think). Anyway, I would have normally gone to Invercargill on the Thursday evening to pick up Keegan, but because I did not get home from work untill 7:00 o’clock after spending a ten-hour day in the hot sun with two other guys, working on a roof, I was just not interested. I packed the sidecar up on Thursday night and come Friday morning I drove the van into Invercargill to pick up Keegan at quarter past eight. I made him drive back to Winton as he is the proud holder of a Learners Driver license now and he needs all the practice he can get. It was just 9:15 when we rolled into Browns and to gather up Mr Woods and some of his gear. He put into the side car a half used large box of Weetbix with his favorite bowl and cup and spoon. Also, a 12-pack of cans of Coke. He has this coke drinking habit because of his cancer thing he had some 15 years ago and has found it works well for his stomach.

100 WFC: The boo-boo by Wayfarer

General Posts / By

The boo-boo by Wayfarer with illustration by Wayfarer She could not take her eyes off him. He was enjoying rum & chips with his longtime love, a childhood lover, seemingly inseparable. Then they left and the lonely, lovely stranger who served them, yearned for the man to return. A few days later, they bumped into each other at a charity hiking trip, aimed at picking trash on trails. He was alone. Apparently, he loved the outdoors and his gal loved cozy evenings in cafes and pubs. “Opposites attract” the waitress sighed. Then she had an epiphany, “one who waits, is a waiter,” and she introduced herself. He loved the coffee from her flask. She loved that he was interested in her. Soon, she offered to drop him home on her dual-sport Honda Transalp. He asked for her number and they planned a new trail.

It’s tough to hold the line with two property deals floating. On the other hand, everything rides on the decisions I make. I’m an optimist, but I search out the reality of the situation.

WTF? Hang on. Let’s hit the news. Click here to read the Weekly Thursday News only on Bikernet.com * * * * Support Bikernet by joining the Cantina and get free swag.

FXST Detachable Motorcycle Windshield

General Posts / By

Learning To Work On A Motorcycle By Christy This journey started at Space Coast Harley-Davidson, March 2024, one sunny Saturday morning, where I test rode and bought my 2023 FXST Softail Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Years ago, I owned a Sportster and recently have been riding one, but I felt it was time to go to a Bigger bike, so I did. While I had been riding the Sportster with a windshield, I realized it was a definite must to have on my Softail and couldn’t ride without one. Riding on the east coast, there are times when it’s very windy and I feel the windshield protected me. So, with some research I decided on a detachable wind splitter windshield Click here to read this Tech and Experience only on Bikernet.com

Book Review: I AM Delilah Jones

General Posts / By

Book Reveiw of the Week By J.J. Solari The book “I AM Delilah Jones aka Doris Gohlke: I Lived And Loved As I Pleased,” is, first of all, large. It’s the size of a sheet of normal bond paper, 337 numbered pages and full of photos. If you’re an edentulate reprobate like myself, you probably – and I hate to say this if she’s reading this– you probably took her into the bathroom with you when you were a strapping young lad because she was in damn near every “girlie mag” that was flooding the back racks of the newsstands, when they had newsstands, and she wasn’t bashful. This wasn’t the Hustler age of girlie mags, they weren’t porn, but they WERE forbidden by moms, girlfriends, and – what are they called?…..oh yeah, wives.
