Jennifer Scott.Ventura, CA~Dec.14~ Holy crap!

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.

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

Yass, editor of Vibes doing a photo shoot out by Jay Allen’s County Line Saloon. It’s way too hard to put it all into words, but Sturgis 2007 was an amazing journey for me. The hectic intensity of the Today Show gig two weeks before, left me little energy to keep pace with what happened
