Natch, I was intrigued when I saw the cover for the new Baker Calendar. Any excuse to grab some shot of girls and motorcycles for Bikernet. It’s my job. I reached out to Trish, the tattooed Baker marketing queen. “There’s just one shot of a girl on our calendar,” Trish said. “We devoted the entire […]

It’s hard to say where the cotton actually came from, but suffice it to say that the quality was excellent. It was woven into a rich piece of material and dyed black.

I love pouring over a map spread out over the dining room table, scrutinizing every back road and twist in the ink. There is a scale involved with maps that allow you to dream and plan differently then looking at a GPS or computer screen. I’ve been known to draw a radius and pick a

1981 hit motorcycling and Sturgis Bike Week like 00-buck against a roadside sign. The raucous city park heart of the party closed and a young Sturgis resident, who grew up around High School keg parties, wanted to give bikers a place to camp out and party away from both the Man and the city fathers.

Editor’s Note: Rogue, our Bikernet Bad Cop Investigator supplied us with this law enforcement training manual.
