Hey, Interesting day today. We are still scrambling around the headquarters trying to dial stuff in, while Jerry finishes a sliced pony-wall in the great room and tears out the faux ceiling in the basement. We have designers working on shop plans, electricians lined up to replace fixtures and clean up 30 years of cable […]

Hey, Yesterday was a milestone day and a challenging day, but at the end of the day all our shit was finally located in the Badlands. Under mild duress I learned and stumbled at operating a Skid Steer to unload crates. We worked with three forklift operators at Dakota Equipment rentals who were able to

Hey, I’m catching on, catching up and catching the Rally vibe. If you live in these regions, it’s like living with a mercurial girlfriend. If she’s in a bad mood you can’t get shit done. That’s the weather around here, and I think it’s cool. During the summer, you plan and hope to get as

Hey, Times are crazy as you will see in the news. I’m reading another book about the errors of the Climate Doomsday bullshit. It’s called Unsettled by Steven E. Koonin. He’s a scientist who worked for the Obama administration. The more he studied the facts, the more the media and the control-freaks had it wrong.

  Hey, I wish I knew what to say today. My feeble mind is packed with thoughts and new experiences since landing lock-stock and barrel in the Badlands. On Memorial Day, I rode with Woody and about 20 riders to the scene of one of the last Indian battles. We found out where the name

Hey, Are things calming down or heating up. I had lots of dreams about Bonneville last night. Hopefully haul bikes will deliver the Salt Torpedo to the Badlands soon. I need to reach out to Delvene Manning about the Bonneville Speed Trials in August. I just did. Maybe Bikernet can become a media sponsor once

Hey, This is a momentous day in the Badlands. Yesterday our building of 17 years in Los Angeles next to the Port of LA closed. Because of Capitol Gains tax laws, we had to buy another property in near Deadwood. With the luck of the chrome gods it will close today, thus ending my relationship

Hey, I’m researching FXDR models and was trying to find out the difference between FXDR and FXDRS. I was told there were slight differences, and then Ron and Bartels’ H-D helped. The only two-year model 2019 and 2020 were all FXDR but when they sent the paperwork it said FXDRS, so the confusion. The folks

Hey, I started out in this industry working on bikes and then as the manager of ABATE National fighting for freedom. I was maybe 23. I’m still fighting for the freedom to ride fossil fuel machines. Fighting for Freedom has always felt like fighting for the truth. I haven’t run into a situation yet when

Hey, What’s the deal today? It’s motorcycle month.The sun is shining in Deadwood. And politicians are fighting all over the country, when we’re living in the best of times.

Hey, The movers are here and we’re scrambling. Keep your fingers crossed they can make everything fit. They are already looking at me like, this shit weighs too much. Hang on. It’s great to see events popping up all over the country. If the media didn’t freak out about everything, we could deal with whatever

Hey, We are rapidly rolling into the final week in preparation for our move to the Badlands. Don’t mind me if I don’t respond for a couple of days. The news should be cool next week, but the following week it will come from Deadwood. This week I met with accountants, had a property walk-through.

Hey, It’s been a productive week. Dr. Hamster bought my ’46 Indian Chief from the war years. Mick hauled off some equipment. Bev, my cousin came and got family archives. She’s into studying the family tree. We delivered stuff to Sin Wu and Haul Bikes reached out to me. They will come and load the

Hey, Things are opening up. There’s hope for the future. Fandango is happening now in Texas. My list is getting more manageable regarding the move to South Dakota. I tried to unload a couple of bikes, my ’46 Indian and a ’58 Triumph TR6. I offered them to only one guy, the owner of Century

Hey, Hold one. A brother is coming to pick up my Logan Lathe and the TIG welder I got from Gard Hollinger at ARCH motorcycles. I just got word from Haul Bikes. They can come pick up my bikes in the next couple of days. Holy shit! Today is the first and I’m outta here

Hey, Big day today. We had a final walk through with the movers yesterday. The first time they were too distracted with the motorcycles and didn’t get the picture, but that’s alright. I got the notion, the suggestions and the code. I knew what I had to do and the redhead has been a great

Hey, A couple of items are rolling around in my mind. First is our current adventure, which is sorta eating me alive. As bikers we are adventurers. Hell, anytime you head out in Los Angeles on a motorcycle, it’s an adventure. The current adventure is moving to Deadwood, South Dakota and out of California. Remember,

Hey, I wish I knew where I was going with this. Barry sent me a bunch of shots of bling laden girls. I will mention two things, maybe three or four. First I get a kick out of trends. We go from the hard and fast, Choppers are dead, to over-the-top wild Choppers. We’ve done

Hey, Everyday is a miracle. I wake up saying, “Today is going to be amazing.” It could be that I’m going to receive the crates I need to keep this departure moving. It could be something she said yesterday. It could be a new motorcycle paint job or some parts. It could be a party.

Hey, I got hauled off and questioned by the authorities. They threatened to make me fire myself because I don’t believe in human caused global warming. It’s the biggest scam in our society today. I had to fight. I’m a grubby biker who believes in oil, gas and freedom. Let’s hit the news: The Bikernet

Hey, My 9,000 square foot building in Wilmington is in escrow, but I’m still confused. I wish I didn’t need to sell it to retire. It’s too cool and too packed fulla shit to move or replace. My grandkids don’t want it. My son can’t handle it, and I’m sure lots of folks are in

Hey, My last dog, Cash, died. It broke my heart that I was in Deadwood drinking Jack Daniels, when it happened. I wanted to be with him one more time before he departed. Death seems to be everywhere with the Covid, although half a million meet the Reaper from cancer and heart attacks annually and

Hey, This is going to be a good one. We have a ton of material to sort through. We now have two buildings in Escrow and the clock is ticking. This week contained major moves, but I’m reluctant to discuss them. I’m heading back to LA first of next week and will report in on

Hey, This is going to get interesting. Thursdays and Mondays are wild. I have no notion of why that is. Well, maybe I do for Mondays. Mondays always kick off a week with a bang. Shit starts to fly. We are endeavoring to move lock, stock and barrel to Deadwood, South Dakota. Daily, I wake
