Event Coverage

  Bay Pines National Cemetery – St Petersburg, Florida  Or at a National Cemetery near you….     What really bothers me is that it’s December 11, 2019 – and Saturday, December 14th we convene at Bay Pines National Cemetery to participate in Wreaths Across America to “remember the Fallen…Honor those who Serve…Teach our children […]

  Bikernet has supported and sponsored Las Vegas Bikefest for about a decade. Each year the boss or someone from the staff flew out to the desert to check it out and write about the action. Once we sent two thugs on Dynas and they scored a young prostitute the first night on the strip.

“I’m still hungry, but I’m tired of chewing,” Denis Manning said with a laugh. The 73-year-old always seems to have the perfect one-liner to illustrate a point—in this case, his undying passion for building the world’s fastest motorcycle streamliner. “I knew when I was 15 years old that this was what I wanted to do,”

  For me and many others this is an event not to be missed. It’s obvious because of the large amount of people that show up.               The Bike Show has a lot of entrants in numerous classes, Best Knuckle, Best Panhead, Best – pick a class. You get

I haven’t been to Wildwood since I was 7 or 8 years old. My memories include lots of jellyfish in the water, and having to walk “forever” just to get to the water – not quite like our usual beaches in Seaside or Ship Bottom. Since I’m sidelined for a few months with “medically induced motorcycle emptiness”,

 The breakfast is held every year to honor people who have made a difference in motorcycling. There are numerous categories just like the things that make up the wonderful life of motorcycling. The event was held at the Lodge at Deadwood on Wednesday August 7, 2019 from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM It was a

   I am Rogue’s 2009 Harley FLHTC and I am using the name Dirty Girl for this article because well I am, Oh not that kind of dirty girl silly. Some years ago, after returning from our ride to Sturgis, Rogue said, “Damn Girl Your Dirty,” and the name sort of stuck. To tell the

    While I am working on my articles for 2019 Sturgis, I thought I would share some photos from downtown just to give ya an idea of what was happening.  Like we use to do in The In The Wind pages back in the day created by Kim Peterson.   –ENJOY       

On Thursday of Bike Week, in Daytona Beach, Florida the place to be is the Old School Bike Show at Tropical Tattoo on US 1 (Ormond). The show is scheduled from 11– 4 But it gets crowded way before as the event continues to grow every year because it is a combination of a bike

Three years ago in Sturgis, South Dakota, a chance meeting of two Florida residents (who actually live 15 miles apart), Stephen “Hot Shot” Aretz and Freddie Bollwage, paved the way to Daytona Bike Week and Billy Lane’s 2019 Sons of Speed Vintage Motorcycle Race. Freddie invited Hot Shot to the 2018 Biketoberfest Sons of Speed

Dated December 4, 2018     A senior Hells Angels member married the daughter of a notorious drug dealer this weekend in Montreal and everyone, including the Mafia, showed up.   The vibe at Montreal’s Windsor Ballrooms was somewhere between glitzy film premiere and rowdy biker party on Saturday evening.   Adjacent Peel Street was

LET THE RACES BEGIN…   Daytona Bike Week, New Smyrna Speedway Inspired by early 20th century board-track races the Sons Of Speed Race has motorcycles that are direct drive meaning no clutch or transmission (when the engine is running the rear wheel is turning) in what is called the 61 classes. Early 61s are the

Sons of Speed inspired by Billy Lane’s passion for the thrill of old school early board-track racing, took place under sunny skies during Bike Week. It was not far from the Cabbage Patch and other sandy camping hangouts at the New Smyrna Speedway. The ride over to the racetrack was beautiful, warm and sunny compared

Friday January 25th, my friend Allen and I loaded the bikes and headed to the Briar Creek Expo here in Charlotte. We loaded Allen’s 1952 K-model in the back of my truck, his 1984 XR-1000 in his van and my 82 Shovelhead in Cox’s Harley-Davidson trailer. We were on our way! This year’s show was

Editor’s Note: The Long Road Bedroll was conceived and designed by the Commander of the annual SmokeOut, the most rowdy event on the planet. I have ridden the Long Road to the SmokeOut several times with Edge, the mastermind. I know about the grassy knolls, the rained on fields and the shared motel rooms. Edge

This month’s Chapter coverage is from the LowCountry Chapter, Story by Richard Hinely November in Savannah, GA means it is time for the annual Victory Moto Show. This year’s event was held at Service Brewing Company on Indian Street in historic downtown Savannah.  This regional show is fast gaining national attention, and this year featured new retro-vintage bikes on

I have written before about motorcycle riding in West Virginia and why it is one of my favorite states to ride. I have to steal some of my own words and ideas from the past because they are still relevant. Straight roads are more efficient and as a society we lower the tops of peaks,

            So Speed Week has come and gone at the Bonneville Salt Flats, but for those of us only interested in the two wheel variety of speed freak fun, the Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials are just starting.     For me this is a bittersweet return. After many years away

But I received a call from the Supreme showman, Prince Najar. He was responsible for all the custom aspects at the IMS motorcycle show series for a decade and now he’s involved in the AMD show series. His partner, Bob Kay took over the IMS Show and I smell a conspiracy. Jeff organized custom elements

    “F…ing lucky” is what I say, my better half says I make the luck. On this little rally jaunt I was one lucky devil. Both me and my ride ended up in the emergency room. On the trip east, coming into Junction City Kansas I saw the sign for City Cycle Harley Davidson,

The Mooneyes Speed Equipment shop and the cars and bikes date back to the beginning of hot rodding. I attend this small tight event every year I’m in California and not overseas chasing girls in Thailand, Hong Kong or Singapore. The car above was made in Japan and called Rodriquez. I talked to the guy

SMOKE-OUT 19 June 15–16 2018 It was that time of year again when the SMOKEOUT rolls into Rockingham North Carolina like a plaque of straight pipes against the humid lands. My son Zach and myself rode down; we even had a chase vehicle, my wife Vicki and our good friend Kris. The temperature was soaring
