Hey, What’s real, what’s hip, what’s it all about? We see it constantly around us. It’s one of the things I liked about being a biker. It was just me and my motorcycle. I wore what I wore for me and nobody else. Most of us looked like hell most of the time. Who cared? Okay,

Hey, What’s it going to be? I’ve just spent three days welding on the Salt torpedo and rattle can attacking parts for final assembly to begin this weekend. In a world gone insane with regulation you see that freedom still matters. In Missouri they are about to repeal the adult helmet law. I just read

Hey, Every morning I wake up, throw my long legs over the edge of our drooping bed and say, “It’s going to be an exciting day!”       Ever since dragging the Salt Torpedo back to the Bikernet Headquarters, we’ve been scrambling. Yesterday, we peeled the top of the new fiberglass body off of

Hey, Challenges flying at us can be great or small, but it’s up to us to handle them with dignity and pure positive enthusiasm. As the good doctor Bourna points out, “make stress work for you. It’s the only way.” Good stress are the drivers making us get shit done in a timely fashion. Bad

Hey, Nirvana is a state of mind we are all capable of at any minute. Bikers understand the concept better than most. Anytime we straddle a bike and shift into gear our brains slip into a state of nirvana. As soon as we open a tool box and start to build a bike, we slip

Hey, Why do I ponder this shit, but I do. It’s not as if my folks were industry leaders or politicians. I should smoke weed and relax, but no. So, what happens when we prove that Global Warming is a doomsday hoax? We’ve basically lost 20 years when we should have been thinking about the
