Hey, Life is so interesting. I rode over by the LA airport yesterday to attend a memorial for Paul Larquier, who once was the boss of Santee and worked for Jammer Cycle and was a member of the Jammer Cycle streamliner team. Travis, another member of the Jammer Streamliner Team rode with me with a […]

Hey, I’m having fun today. I’ve been thinking about and “tinking” as I say about the issues we face and if there are solutions. You know there are. Maybe it’s because I’m left-handed or was born premature and just 5 pounds and now I’m 225 and 6’5”. You got me? But I like to help

  Motorcycle Riders Foundation Announces the Freedom Fighters Hall of Fame   Motorcycling remains as one of the last true bastions of Freedom. The independence and exhilaration of being “in the wind” can only be understood and appreciated by those who experience it.   We all know that “freedom is not free”, and for six

Hey, I asked a question in the Bikernet weekly news about life and our outlook on life. Whether you are young or old, we are actually living in the best of times and should congratulate them (everyone involved) and celebrate every day. I told my grandson he can wake up beside his girlfriend, make love

Hey, The Cannonball kicked off today in Maine. I once talked to Kiwi Mike about building me and Dr. Hamster a Cannonball Indian. He was too busy at the time and a brother, who is into vintage bikes called, “Do you really want to ride a spindly old rigid frame across the country at 25

Hey, The Zero Tolerance issue surfaced again. The governor of California, who once was a hippy, called for zero emissions. That’s impossible unless he sends armed guard to every home to confiscate you barbecue or fire pit. It’s nuts and impossible, but the dream of any control freak, who wants more control and power. Let’s

Hey, Started to feel strange about a week ago. I worked and napped too regularly. I tired too quickly, and then I started to feel a thickness in my neck and lungs. This weekend it hit me hard just as I was taking break-in laps with the Panhead. I finally got it to run consistently.

Hey, Life is incredible, the twists and turns it takes. But the key is how you look at anything that happens. You can be relieved, happy, mad, sad, distraught, elated over anything. Or just stay mellow and go for a ride. Let’s hit the news. WISCONSIN ATTACK ON BIKERNET CONTINUES—This is incredible. Where other states

Hey, It’s a wrap at the Rally, although Sturgis grows every year from a place people leave, to a place where people stay for awhile. More and more folks are moving to the Badlands. I’m considering it. There’s a side of me that always wanted to live in the West where freedom still rings, where

Hey, I need to run a couple of concepts past you. First, I watched a documentary series on the 1929 depression, which at one point led to prohibition of booze. Prohibition suddenly reminded me of what’s happening around fossil fuels. I could go on and on, but I’ll let your brain cells work on it.

Hey, I did it again. Just as I removed a major project from my list I found another one. Oh, but the Redhead sold the 5-Ball Racing Van right out from under me. I no longer have a 4-wheeler. I tried to hook up a LIFT account so I could get around. Last night the

Hey, Another interesting day in Paradise. Friday and Saturday were destined to be welding and brazing days to finish my art piece for Sturgis Fly Piston Charity Breakfast Auction. I asked the Redhead for complete silence during this time. Friday contained a solid 10 hours of welding without interruption and serious progress. I informed the

Hey, I have a few questions in this post. Let me know your thoughts. I’m reading a book called “Factfullness.” It’s supposedly about how life is currently wonderful on this planet, but the author falters with his claims. I will continue reading. In some very basic ways he’s right, then he stabs his remarks with

  Hey, I try to ride my bicycle with highbars once a week for a couple of miles and to a series of exercises in the Wilmington Park. It only takes me about 10 minutes to ride to the park over Avalon Boulevard and into a semi-industrial area, before I come to the massive Wilmington

Hey, This is sort of a mild day during a turbulent streak. There’s so much going on, but I sorta said I will take myself out of gear today and just mellow out. I tried to start the Panhead yesterday, but as I suspected I need to take the Linkert off again and see where

  Hey, It was Born Free Weekend with all the action out at Irvine Lake, Santiago Canyon with bikes rolling in from all over the southland to check the new custom rides, the builders’ bikes and the bands. No Colors allowed, but we saw a Christian club hanging out. It’s the best representation of our

Hey, I don’t know how you feel about facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, Wayn, etc? I’m busy and they slow me down. I love what I do on Bikernet and constantly wish we could do more. At some point I needed to face how much we could produce with the funds we make and the resources we

Hey, This is interesting. I like being a solitary guy. It’s always been my concept of a biker. One guy and his motorcycle on the adventure of life. Riding is solitary. So yesterday looked to be a day of working-out meditation, tinkering with the Panhead and waiting for the Redhead to come home. Then my
