Hey, Interesting. There are two hard and fast rules: Everything is changing all the time. And everything comes and ultimately goes (starts and ends guaranteed). We struggle against both and it’s of no use. Buzz Kanter from American Iron said of the industry, “The notion of safety has taken over. No one wants to deal with risk.” That safety concept is fighting against the laws of nature. New landing page coming to Bikernet next week. About the time they might think Safety is the shit, it will change. The producers of Sons of Anarchy are about to launch their Mayhem series. I’m pitching the Bandit’s Cantina series. We don’t need more overt violence in every episode lowering society’s notion of clubs ...

Challenges have popped to the surface regarding electric vehicles. They might be more emission prone than petrol based vehicles. Batteries are nasty. We will see. The world is fast changing. No, not Governments and definitely those Senators never leave or change. While the more Hollywood movies change, the more they remain the same. Generations change and the new millennials have different priorities and preferences. Climate is supposedly (“allegedly”) changing. Demand and Supply of big bikes have changed. There are again more British motorcycle brands in the market than American bikes with the return of Enfield, BSA, Norton and the veteran Triumph. Roads have changed with new taxes tolls on rush hour routes. The year has changed to 2018. My underwear ...

A customer brought Taber Nash this basket a couple of years ago. He delivered the wheels, a new frame and the clean Shovelhead engine. He requested something racy, but then a demanding ol’ lady got in the way. The customer struggled to retain his biker identity, weakened to the pressure and finally sold the remnants of his project to Taber. A sad day. Taber stood back and pondered the elements. These slicks were part of the package and inspired Taber to get crazy with this effort. Somewhere in this time-line, the staff of the Las Vegas Bikefest reached out to him.
