HEY, Life is nuts, and every day I wonder WTF. It’s a miracle we survive from one day to the next. I listened to a budget meeting on Cspan. If we could figure out the squirrely language the feds use just for the credit side, we could save the budget, but we can’t, and nobody […]

  Hey,               Another strange day in paradise. I’ll tell you why. I’m working on this book project for Motorbooks almost daily. I go to libraries, search the internet, buy subscriptions to newspaper archives and interview folks involved in the history of this club. But I still feel like time is slipping away. The

Hey, I want to thank all the Vets out there today for their service. I spent three tours off the coast of Viet Nam on a heavy cruiser. During the second tour, our Captain made a promise to blast his way into the record books by launching over 85,000 rounds of 3, 5 and 8-inch

Hey, Another wild week at the Bikernet paradise. Governor Arnold signed a toothless motorcycle noise law that will make Californians more unpopular with the rest of the country. Shit, it doesn’t even go into effect until 2013, then only affects 2013 and newer bikes. What the fuck? It will become another unenforceable harassment ordinance. We

Hey, We had an executive board meeting this morning. We discussed enhancing our classifieds area for more service to our readers, fixing the Bikernet Studio and running a daily or weekly video clip on the home page, running a girl teaser for the Cantina on the Home Page, kicking up the shop weekly offers, and
