Weekly News

Hey, Wow, exciting times. The elections, the winter and new projects. And already it’s Veterans Day. I’m hoping to hit a couple of events and Rapid City is rumored to have a colorful Veterans Day Parade. I’m a Vietnam vet and want to thank all the Veteran brothers and sisters for their service. Thank you! […]

Hey, This has been an amazing year. Absolutely don’t forget to vote. I’ve been hard at writing articles all week long and speaking to folks far and wide about everything from old gas tanks to flat track racing in the Odessa, MO. Rumor has it that after California bans the sale of ICE vehicles, they

Hey, Hang on, the news is full of surprises. I’ve talked to industry leaders and plenty of voices from the past this week. We mentioned the Mystery Sled published in ER in the ‘70s. It was photographed for the feature by Jake. Jake also built the bike. Dave Perewitz, reminded me of his real name

Hey, This could be a good one. The World is in turmoil and we need a solid Code of the West, or Dharma, or freedom mantra that most folks can agree on and will save humanity from tearing itself apart. Maybe I’m asking a lot and maybe not enough. Let’s see how the news pans

Hey, This is an interesting week. We now have two lawsuits against Climate Alarmism, and one is already in the Supreme Court. Another one is being filed against the EPA. The courts may be the only place where the truth can be heard. Remember, if you’re against the media narrative, you’re a denier. Last week

Hey, There’s an easy solution to all the renewable efforts, but it entails eliminating the doom. Take a community, a city or a fucking state and eliminate all access to fossil fuels or any fossil fuel products and see how it works. Bada bing, easy, squeezy. We will answer all the questions, quick. That’s the

Hey, It’s an interesting day, week, month, year. Things a popping. Day before yesterday LiveWire went public. Today Porsche went public. What could it mean? No messing around. Let’s hit the news: The Bikernet Weekly News is sponsored in part by companies who also dig Freedom including: Cycle Source Magazine, the MRF, Las Vegas Bikefest,

Hey, I sense the weather changing in South Dakota. The first day of Fall was yesterday. Brothers all over are heading south to Arizona. Some of us will hang out in the Black hills for the winter and the Almanac says it’s going to be a tough one. I’m looking forward to the snow, learning

Hey,I wrote something the other day and ended it with what could be a chopper code. Choppers will never die, because of the very nature of the breed. They are not built for efficiency, handling performance, or manufacturing precision. They are built behind a stringent survival nature and love for being a startling stand-out against

Hey, It’s so interesting. Speak to anyone about major issues over Climate or Gun Control and you receive vastly different responses. Even my son said, “You can see the smog.” For a younger, uneducated generation, they look at grimy oil fields and dirty black coal pits and cringe. They look at a solar panel and

Hey, What can I say, we have tons of inspirational quotes in the news this week. We have friends and old outlaws visiting from the coast. We ate at Scott Jacobs restaurant in Deadwood last night. Scott has been a licensed artist for Harley-Davidson for 32 years. Last week I rode my ’46 Knucklehead around

  Hey,  The Rally is a couple of weeks behind us, and hopefully I will launch my report tomorrow. Rumor has it Easyriders Magazine is struggling. A couple of staff members have bowed out, and they didn’t do well with their Captain America subscription raffle bike. It sold on ebay for $38,000. Is that legal?

Hey, The rally came and went in the blink of an eye. I’m trying to write my rally report and get a handle on my experience and the vibe for this year. I’m also experiencing post rally and flooded Bonneville blues, while studying the Texas mile for Salt Torpedo test runs in March. My son

Hey, Thursday will be nuts. Not sure if the news will be finished on Thursday or Friday. Hang on. It’s been a wild week in the nerve center of motorcycling, Sturgis, SD. Guys are flying along every highway. Marilyn Stemp held a show maybe two every day. We entered our two Panheads in the Chopper

Hey, If you’re rolling into the majestic black hills for the rally, feel free to drop me a line with your thoughts: Bandit@bikernet.com. Tell me how many years you’ve been coming and why. Or tell me how you felt about the Rally or the ride this year. Since I’m in the industry and have been

Hey, It seems like the pressure is on. The rally is just around the corner and the projects and commitments are piling up and then there is Bonneville. I’m on it even today. I try to commit Thursdays to just the News, but then other shit slips into the fray. Today, I will try to

Hey, The truth is everything. I scrambled out of bed a 6:24 this morning. My mission, to complete the Bikernet Weekly News always with hope for the future of America and Freedom. So, what hit me immediately as I opened the email world? The Real Story of January 6, an Epoch Times documentary, reveals the

Hey, My grandson just experienced his first rally vendor effort in Southern California. He’s 28 and went to fantastic efforts to build a cool booth, man it and display a large inventory of leathers for sale. Yesterday, his dad asked him if he wanted to set up a booth at the Sturgis Rally in a

Hey, We are flying through this year. Every Monday, I tell the redhead, “Hang on. This week will be exciting, and it is.”   Be upbeat or die trying. Or find a new girl, an open road and a bottle of whiskey. It’s all going to work out, I swear. Let’s hit the news.  The

Hey, This could be a magnificent day in the hood. As you will see in the news, my conundrum from last week may have been addressed. I’m on pins and needles. Buck Lovell shot the Pandemic for a Cycle Source feature this week, and I wrote a story for Micah’s feature in Choppers Magazine. Magazines

I’m in a conundrum, which means a mystery, a challenge or a questioning problem. I’ve been pushing against the Climate Doom mantra for a decade. Even guys in the industry look at me like I’m nuts to fight it. Motorcycle rights groups won’t ask senators for scientific transparency. Okay, from time to time I want

Hey, Life for a biker is a wonderful thing, primarily because of the brotherhood. Whether it’s club brothers, same brand brothers, two-wheeled brothers, it’s a special band of brothers. I had dinner last night with two other brothers and their wives, who have been a part of this industry for over 50 years apiece and

Hey, This is a tough one and I don’t get it, but maybe I do. I say I do because political control is alluring for politicians, but usually leads to devastation. I’ll back up some. I wrote a forward for my book about Terry the Tramp, the 27-year boss of the Vagos MC. He took

Hey, I had a conversation with one of the most respected guys in our industry yesterday. I won’t mention his name or current affiliation. During his recent duties as a photographer and writer he’s struggled with his understanding of what’s PC or required. We are living in interesting times, but when we are faced with
