Weekly News

Hang On, This news is packed with controversy and the fight for Freedom. I do my best to avoid politics, but I’m looking hard for a solution. Just after I wrote my Brief Manifesto, the EPA and SEMA had a meeting about new regulations. They will basically ban all car, truck, and motorcycle performance products. […]

Hey, This is a rough one. Today, I’m bouncing between business deals, family issues, plans for Superbowl weekend, our effort to help the custom motorcycle market stay free, and our Bonneville racing efforts. Buck Lovell called. He’s trying for a job at the Sturgis Museum. I told him I would write a letter of reference.

Hey, I’m scrambled today with projects, priorities, and crazed notions. While the Redhead slips around the headquarters in her leopard robe, I swept up after our two black labs and pondered the day. I’ve been attacked by stress over the vast and unrelenting Bikernet Interplanetary Headquarters being attacked by the City of Los Angeles. We

    Hey, Talk about a wild week. Visitors rolled in from New Orleans. Anson Alexander worked on offshore oil rigs, but liked to keep up with Bikernet. The bosses banged on his door and shut off access—something about the girls. Anson went right to the top. The girls in the free section are cool

Hey, I have a major bitch, actually a couple, but I will attempt to stay focused on Freedom. I just don’t get it. What happened to freedom in this country. We all know how important freedom is for the soul, but safety, and regulation took over. How many times has this backfired, take the War

  Hey, It’s another strange day in paradise. It’s raining and California needs it. Hopefully it will blow over before next weekend and the Easyriders show hits Long Beach. This weekend ER is hosting the Sacramento show. I’ve been thinking lately, which is a troubling notion. I wonder why I encounter anxiety from time to

Hey, It’s been a testing year for the Bikernet crew. We’ve made significant strides in some areas and stumbled in others. We changed up the Cantina, but that didn’t work. We reverted back to the old program working with Jack McIntyre and we are back on schedule. We started new programs with Cycle Source and

Bikernet brings you Holiday cheer on the eve of all the action. I was just released from the hospital today, so it’s going to be short and stumbling. I can’t wait to feel like a human being again. There’s a whole lot of action to cover. I can’t wait to see our K-Model flathead 45

MERRY CHRISTMAS, It’s been an incredible year, and it’s not over. Hang on for this report. Our Bikernet news is proudly sponsored by Iron Trader, Cycle Source, and ChopperTown. Let’s hit it, then the holiday cheer. GUNS ARE GOOD– Good guys need guns to target terrorists. One of the great things about being Sheriff is

Hey, I don’t know about you, but this holiday season seems to be slipping rapidly past. What the hell is happening? Maybe it’s all the social media distractions, or 500 TV channels, Terrorists and world upheaval, the 2016 elections, too many events, or who knows? Hell, this weekend the Mooneyes Xmas party rocks SoCal, and

Hey, I don’t know why I seem to think out of the politically accepted box. Maybe I hit my head too many times. Maybe it’s because I’m left handed. Like I believe in educating everyone about guns, not taking them away. If you learn how to use a hammer, you are educated and not afraid.

Happy Thanksgiving, I mean it. We have a lot to be thankful for in a world filled with religious hate, bombings, and beheadings. How can we overcome the bullshit and strife and kick back. We need to be thankful for the Sun and Moon. We need to be thankful for the oceans and the crops.

Hey, Ultimate Builder Custom Competition hits Long Beach this weekend. So, we have prepped all week with new outdoor lighting, cleaning the shop, hosting folks, meetings, photo shoots, and hauling two bikes, including the 2014 cross-country Indian to the show. It’s non-stop with Jeff Najar, the boss of the Ultimate Builder Competition arriving last night

Hey, I’m a disabled Vietnam vet and so is our Performance Editor, Ray C. Wheeler. We have a lot of close brothers who are also disable veterans. My brother, David is also Cambodia veteran. I was honored to sit at a dinner table recently with my 93-year-old mom and Archie, a veteran from WWII. He

Hey, I’m sorta confused, but what’s new. Life is moving too fast. We are heading into our 20th year with Bikernet. Every year we make improvements to Bikernet and our services or die trying. As we roll into 2016 we started a major Facebook campaign and it’s already paying off. We have also been fortunate

Hey, Hang on. We have a challenging question today. Motorcycle sales are down all across the board. Sure, we know about Harley and all their recalls, but all sales are down in general. I received a report that last year two Japanese manufacturers sold 27,000 sport bikes. This year they sold 6,000. I’ve been told

Hey, This news is packed with interesting shit. You can’t say we don’t give you controversial elements to ponder between working on bikes, chasing broads, and whiskey. Just don’t over do it. Recent news flash. Paisano Publications boss, Joe Teresi, recently sold the Easyriders buildings. The two 10,000 square foot buildings were once packed with

    Hey, Never a dull moment. Life is so nuts, but we bang along and try to keep the party alive. Maybe it’s the nature of the beast. We were discussing clubs the other day. Most of the violent guys from my era are dead or still in jail. You would think the new

Hey, This is going to be good. There’s so much going on in the Custom Oz, and more than a handful of critical items in the air, but it feels good today. For a moment there’s a calm between storms. Let’s hit the news. The Bikernet Las Vegas Editor’s Choice award, sponsored by Cycle Source,

Hey, Hopefully the brothers are flying towards Vegas on their Dynas, one sporting a new set of Samson Pomona duals. This bring up a topic. A few years ago I saw an ongoing need for an industry council to fight government intervention back. We approached SEMA and they wanted us to sell booths at their

Hey, There’s nothing like the wind in your hair and an open road. There’s nothing like the sense of accomplishment when you roll your project bike into the sun and fire it to life. In a sense any new technology helping us to meet our goals is a good thing. But technology should be a

Hey, This is an interesting one? George Christie has one more episode. Folks called me and asked me to watch the last one, because I was there. Holy buckwheat. Bikernet is about to turn 20 and most folks don’t realize how tenuous running a business is. From day to day there are major ups and

Hey, I had a twisted thought the other day. The topic of homeless folks comes up on a regular basis in the ghetto here on the Port of Los Angeles. The locals want them to move on and the city government takes a supportive view, like, “So, what the hell are we going to do

Hey, Life is whacked as you will see in the news. Half the world is at war. Our government can’t get along with anyone. Religions are constantly on the attack, when they are supposed to be compassionate and forgiving. And peace and harmony are constantly at our fingertips. Bikers are the monks of the earth.
