The Weekend Roundup

Hey, We are about to witness changes in the industry and they’re coming at us fast. Change is inevitable. But it always gives us the opportunity to improve. I think the young riders get it today. It’s all about the build, the party, the race and the fun. We came from an era of struggle, […]

  Hey, Interesting week ahead, but first consider anything you can do to help disaster victims in our various states. I always trust the American Red Cross, but there are lots of valid agencies. Support our brothers and sisters everywhere, quick. I can’t imagine what it would be like to lose your home. I’m catching

Hey, It’s interesting how life can twist. Sometimes we like it and others we don’t, but it never stops twisting and turning until the end. Then as we have discovered there isn’t an end… You will see in this piece many twists and turns of the industry, motorcycling, you name it. Many of us look

Hey, It’s been sorta hot on the coast and I’m sure the desert near Three Palms (the rest, 26, burnt down), California and Vegas is smokin’ hot. The south is under water and it had to be caused because someone bailed out the auto industry and they’ve sold too many cars causing global warming, climate

Wow, Life is nuts, but what the hell, it continues and changes daily. Bikers get it. We enjoy freedom whether they like it or not. We’re still racing, riding and building cool shit, no matter what. My Grandson’s Dyna is almost complete. We met with the Bennett’s Crew yesterday and they will perform a final

Hey, I’m scrambling on my Sturgis ’17 article to be posted next week. A bunch is flying through my mind now that Sturgis is behind me. We need to be in Bonneville with the Salt Torpedo next year. That’s a must. I’ll be 70 and brothers all around me are slipping away. When I say

Hey, We survived Sturgis ’17, but it was a fucking adventure, and you’ll read all about the breakdowns, the action, the roads, and we were pulling a trailer. WTF! A motorcycle save us. Let’s hit the news. NEW BORDERLAND BIKER CHAPTER COMING TO BIKERNET– I sent Lisa Chapter 25 of (BORDERLAND BIKER). I’m attaching a picture

  HEY, So, Bandit left town and left me holding the bag.   DAMN! OH WELL,  Here we go…   My neighbors moved out a month ago and their old property has been under contract since a few days after they left. My husband and I have been watching and waiting to see what kind

Hey, It’s all in the wind. I’m watching a series called Ozark. It’s a mess. Have you watched House of Cards? Talk about a train wreck. It has no social redeeming value. It’s all evil. I stopped watching it after a couple of episodes. I don’t like watching shows that turn all negative or immoral.

Hey, So many newspaper and magazine reports make no sense. They all attack one element or another in society. But yesterday I came across something finally interesting, as if this guy understood the code of the west. This came from David Leonhardt of The New York Times (published in the Week Magazine.) If our political

Hey, It’s a strange day in Paradise. Let me see if I can lay this out for you. We finished painting the side of the building for the mural, then the city called. I get to pay for the mural, and must have everyone’s permission and input on the content. That’s not all. I need

Hey, We are scrambling, as usual, trying to save the world and build cool motorcycles. What more could be better, unless, like Jeremiah found a new girl and Bandit found another bottle of “The good stuff.” We talked to Willy about our 5-Ball Racing bike trailer for the run to Sturgis. I spoke to Mr.

Hey, Yep, another holiday weekend and the parties are starting everywhere. Except the Wilmington ghetto, where no one will come to party on the fourth. We will keep watch over the port, while being able to see fireworks in all directions. If the sky is reasonably clear we can see the flashes in the sky from

Hey, Back from Born Free, but my son and grandson are riding out again today. It just dawned on me the date. Life is flying by and dammit Sturgis is coming right up.     I need to fly on my Panhead. We need to finish Frank’s Dyna and monkey with our little Chopper for

Hey, We are in a building frenzy. Guys are building for Born Free, the Smoke Out, Sturgis, Bonneville, you name it. It feels good to be in a two-wheeled creative space. There’s something interesting about the biker spirit. Building a bike is similar to painting on canvas, except it has additional function, like it runs,

Hey, Amazing, the Redhead of Redheads and I drove out to the Costa Mesa Fair Grounds for Harley Night at the Speedway Races. We stopped for a bite to eat as the race kicked off, so we were just 20 minutes late. It was cool with June gloom as the sun slipped away. Parking was

Hey, Happy Memorial Day. Take a minute or an hour to respect what soldiers and freedom fighters have done for this country. Commemorate the lives lost in Military service. This holiday began even before the Civil War as a tradition to decorate cemeteries on the last Monday in May. It is also kicks off of

Hey, This is a bittersweet week. Easyriders auction didn’t work for the owner. Last we heard staff members were clearing out their offices. I keep hoping members of the staff would rally together, get a loan and find a new path for the brand. There is always another path available. I’ve been very fortunate to

Hey, I’m actually building another motorcycle, a Panhead, sorta. There’s something about digging around the shop and wrenching that feels damn good. I would rather work in the shop than hang out at any bar. In the past the only thing that would pull me away from the shop would be a redhead. I also

Hey, This is an interesting weekend with Cinco De Mayo just behind us and Buddha’s Birthday in front. It’s a beautiful day and I hope everyone gets to celebrate something, maybe even a warm day and a well-running motorcycle. Celebrate something today, even a short ride to some place special or someone special. Let’s hit

Hey, I mentioned staying focused and this weekend I blew it. Attacked from all sides, I was pulled in many directions. On the other hand it was all good. We are going to finally paint the Bikernet Headquarters and put a mural on one side to support motorcycling and the Wilmington Waterfront. We are about

Hey, I’m lost in the maze of life once more. Hell, I don’t know whether to bring it up. But we can’t give up. I don’t get why folks want to have mandatory this and that. Usually governments stumble and fail constantly. We can’t give up, but I’m in a quandary about the growth of

Hey, Hang on. I took a subscription to the Wall Street Journal. I’ve never liked papers. I read the Week Magazine cover to cover. I watch C-span for what’s happening. I don’t watch any news programs except the BBC and it seems to be dying. My mother recently passed and she had a small stock

  Hey,   Surprise, Surprise! Bandit dips out on the Bike, leaving me to float the news solo. I’m a big girl… I’ll handle it! I’ve got jokes as well as pictures of tits and ass. How hard can it be?!       BIKERNET UNIVERSITY WORDS FOR THE WEEKEND–     Frenemy [fren-uh-mee] noun
