SCRAMBLE FOR THE POSITIVE BIKERNET WEEKLY NEWS for January 28, 2016

Hey, I’m scrambled today with projects, priorities, and crazed notions. While the Redhead slips around the headquarters in her leopard robe, I swept up after our two black labs and pondered the day. I’ve been attacked by stress over the vast and unrelenting Bikernet Interplanetary Headquarters being attacked by the City of Los Angeles. We had a meeting with the head of Building and Safety yesterday morning in Downtown. It took us 1.5 hours to drive 20 miles. And as we crept through the Adams district I looked at many of the crappy rundown buildings and was blown away. They could take all the building inspectors in Los Angeles and they could spend their entire careers on one city block–fulla dumps. We found a light at the end of our tunnel during the meeting, so maybe we can regain a very positive focus on the remainder of the year, including another book, our Salt Torpedo, a screenplay, and even a bronze sculpture. It’s all possible if the bastards will let a brother be. The Bikernet Weekly News is sponsored in part by Cycle Source Magazine, Iron Trader News, and ChopperTown. Inspiration of the Day: In Life, only at the moment of encountering darkness, can the preciousness of brightness be displayed; Only when conducting oneself justly—even while enduring slander, can the fragrance of character be known. –Venerable Master Hsing Yun   – In this edition of the Bikernet weekly news we have Pagans, a Colorado Event, V-Twin Expo, Indian by Klockwerks, Harley’s Stock, Vegas, Wounded Warriors, and more.

THE MOST CRITICAL BIKERNET WEEKLY NEWS for January 21, 2016

Hey, Talk about a wild week. Visitors rolled in from New Orleans. Anson Alexander worked on offshore oil rigs, but liked to keep up with Bikernet. The bosses banged on his door and shut off access—something about the girls. Anson went right to the top. The girls in the free section are cool and he made his case. He won. A local brother stopped by on his Dyna. He’s headed for his second hip replacement and he’s anxious to install a Trask Turbo as soon as he gets out of the hospital. We will stay on top of his progress. I’m confused about a couple of issues. I believe we as an industry need to create a strong voice against CARB in California. If you don’t know the impact against performance modifications on bikes 2013 and newer, you need to check it out. Carb in California will have an impact all over the industry if we don’t step up. As long as you only work with bikes older than 2013 I think you’re cool, but that’s going to become a problem rapidly, although I’m an Evo fan. Okay, so no negative waves. Always remember: Everything will be all right in the end. If it’s not all right, it’s not the end… – Read the news here.

Meet Valerie Thompson At The Grand National Roadster Show

Seven-time speed record holder, Valerie Thompson, will be a featured celebrity racer at the 67th Grand National Roadster Show at the Fairplex in Pomona. Her BMW will be displayed in a special tribute area dedicated to the Southern California Timing Association (SCTA) named “Quest for Speed.” “I’ve always had a passion for land speed racing. Competing on the Salt Flats of Utah and dry lakebeds of California as an independent racer always reminds me of the unsung heroes who made American racing what it is today. This special invitation to appear at the most prestigious rod show just blows me away,” said Thompson. “More importantly, this exhibit will be used as a fund raiser for the SCTA, a non-profit organization that makes racing dreams possible for all competitors, no matter the size of their pocket book,” added Thompson. Thompson formed her own land speed racing team in 2012 and recorded a personal best top speed of 217 mph at the 2014 Texas Mile. In 2015, Thompson became the first female member of the Colorado Mile 200 MPH Club on her Quicksilver Powersports Lubricants/CTEK BMW Motorrad and is now a member of six-land speed racing 200 MPH Clubs, including the prestigious Bonneville 200 MPH Club. As a result, she is often referred to as “America’s Queen of Speed.” More info here.
