Under the pen name Scooter Tramp Scotty, I've been writing for several publications, both printed and online, for years. These true motorcycle drifter adventure stories offer a unique niche and have gained me a large following that continues to grow. Once a story has been published in print, I then pass it along to Bikernet, and eventually a few smaller publications as well. Although monthly now, I started in the mid '90s by putting out only an occasional piece that generally saw print in Easyriders magazine—for there were no online mags back then. So later, when Keith asked me for material to be used in bikernet.com, I didn't take this new-age computer crap too seriously. Real magazines, I figured, were ...

Hey, There’s a secret. Another challenging week on the home front. I was told by the city to call for an inspection and they would arrive within 24 hours. I called on Monday. No one has called or come over, yet. Now, I could look at this from several perspectives. The Secret tells us to look at it from the absolutely best overall perspective.

We’ve had several visitors staying over at the headquarters also this week. One is an extremely well educated and talented woman who has be fighting depression for sometime, severe depression.

Who First Lit the 2-Stroke Match? It all began puffing along in 1880 when an English engineer Dugald Clerk banged together a 2-stroke engine design. But then it took about another 25 years before another Brit, one Alfred Scott, secured the first patent for a 2-stroke, in this case a V-Twin. To further enshrine his name into the history books, a few years later in 1912 he came up the rotary valve engine. Scott was also the innovative thinker that gave the world the Scott Flying Squirrel motorcycle, and yes the bike ridden to the Extravaganza by Jay Leno. The two-stroke design philosophy centers around efficiency and an economy of components, fewer than the number required by four-stroke engines that ...
