As June rolls around, there are two things you can count on in the American South. One, it will be hotter than Hades. The second, smokin’ tires at the Horse Magazine's annual Smoke Out Event in Salisbury, North Carolina. 2006 marked the events seventh anniversary, and bikes from all across America made the pilgrimage to

Mike and Karen Dodds.Gary and Brenda Gagnon are my just some of the old timer biker ties that bind me to New England, forever. Gary, a talented motorcycle mechanic, and his wife Brenda became motorcycle shop owners a couple of years ago. Gary’s forte is old school as in kindergarten. His easel is filled with

I read about the Smoke Out, put on annually by the Horse Backstreet Choppers magazine crew, on Bikernet. People always spoke of it in an almost cultish manner. An event where old school chopperheads appeared in mass out of nowhere like zombies right out of “Night of the Living Dead”, until they had taken over

A brilliant blue sky was a perfect backdrop for the NYC skyline as we blasted across the Tri-Boro Bridge heading to Indian Larry's old shop in the industrial waterfront section of Brooklyn called Williamsburg.

With so many reports on charity events and rides from around the country, it's refreshing to see when one of our own is recognized and honored for service to our country and to the motorcycle community. The appreciation banquet honoring Senator Dave Zien surpassed all expectations and was a huge success. Attorney Michael Hupy, of

NEW BIKES DOMINATE ANOTHER SUCCESS STORY FOR BIKESHOWS EUROPE– Bikeshows Europe have started the new year on full throttle after heralding the 13th annual National Motorcycle Show a great success.

Paul Cox and Keino keeping the spirit alive.Like clockwork every January, Easyriders kick starts their show series, sponsored by Bikernet.com, in Pomona Ca. Now I've been intothe bike scene for along time, but somehow never made it to this show. It was always something. If not theflu, the bike was broke, I was broke, or

It’s been three weeks since my latest show and I’ve finally gained back the energy and train of thought to tell you all about the Hawaiian Chopper Winterfest & Biker Build-Off.After months of hard work putting together Hawaii’s most kick ass bike show, we here at Hawaiian Chopper Magazine are enjoying the fruits of our

The annual Love Ride celebrated its 23rd year of fund raising, which benefits 30 various charities. This year was no exception, with a record breaking $1.56 million raised. The most noticeable changes this year were the lack of attendance, a higher entrance donation and a change in the food vendor. We overheard slight grumblings throughout

Jennifer Scott.Ventura, CA~Dec.14~ Holy crap! I wasn’t sure if it was the glare of the bright sunshine glancing off the tide of the Pacific Ocean or the flare outs of the sun dancing across the chrome of all those sexy bikes, but whatever it was, the shit was seriously hurting my eyes. Time to pull

Biketoberfest 2008 Kicked-off with the BIKER FUSION Event on Thursday, October 16th at the Main Street Doghouse Bar and Grill to benefit Soldier’s Angels, an organization committed to helping those in the military and returning veterans.

After a lifetime of preparation resulting in two AMA Land Speed Records it was time to attend the AMA Championship Banquet held at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Riders 8 to 89 were presented with hard earned #1 plates and plaques garnered during the 2009 season while participating in over 30

I consulted the all-too-frequently-crossed-out-squares on my soon-to-be-history 2009 Hunky Dudes on Hot Bikecalendar (I can dream can’t I?). It told me that the David Mann Chopper Fest, held every December for the past five years in Ventura, CA, was coming up in a few days and I had my trusty Harley-Davidson Heritage already packed up

I finally snagged the opportunity to attend the Lone Star Rally in Galveston, Texas once more. Being semi-retired from the strip club business does have one advantage. It gave me the opportunity to hit more events. On the downside – No Daily Strippers and no paycheck, both serious issues, which at some point I need

Damn, This year was rough. It was like we were being put thru a test. We had one crew member loose two loved ones within 24 hours on Thanksgiving day. We found out from a good friend that his wife had Breast cancer and he couldn't help us this year. He and I paid to

There are worse places to hang around for a couple of days than the Bikernet,com Cantina, tossing back icy cold Coronas followed by shots of JD. And Sin Wu gives a heck of a neck massage. I was waiting for the Heavy Duty magazine tour group to fly in from Australia, some 60 guys and

Generally, I write stories of rides, women and open roads, but not this time. I was a trailer queen, so you might as well shred this page and go back to the Bikernet Garage for a tech. For 10-15 years, I've built bikes and ridden 1,500 miles to the Badlands. Then we caught the Bonneville
