Hey, I don’t know about you, but this holiday season seems to be slipping rapidly past. What the hell is happening? Maybe it’s all the social media distractions, or 500 TV channels, Terrorists and world upheaval, the 2016 elections, too many events, or who knows?

The wonderful and wicked Bikernet Weekly News is sponsored in part by Iron Trader, Cycle Source, and ChopperTown. All the best for the Holidays… - Read the Bikernet News with articles on the Peterson Museum, investigation on police, World Record attempt,fundraiser for military veterans, bad ...

Also, as one of the first to ...

Kuryakyn has another new weapon in the battle against wind buffeting. The Lower Triple Tree Wind Deflector for ’14-later Harley-Davidson Touring models redirects airflow passing between the forks downward to reduce turbulence and noise levels behind the fairing. Sturdy stamped steel construction in chrome or satin black finishes delivers a clean and functional addition to models unequipped with a factory deflector. The one-piece unit mounts inconspicuously to the lower triple tree using existing hardware on all ’14-later Electra Glides, Road Glides, Road Kings and Street Glides. • P/N 1804 – Chrome, 1805 – Satin Black, MSRP: $79.99 Advertisement

This story is about two young upstarts in the motorcycle industry. They didn’t stumble into each other until the evil Bikernet.com web site tossed them together in a Port of Los Angeles ghetto, but we can’t go there. Actually, Imogen, who runs the Great Frog wild skull jewelry outlet on Melrose in Hollywood, was first discovered by the esteemed Bikernet Feature photographer, Markus Cuff, while looking cute at a Born Free Show. Her slender form and dramatic tattoos attracted his attention. Continue reading.

After travelling more than 53,000 miles across the country in one year, motorcyclist Danell Lynn has completed her Guinness World Record-breaking attempt on Avon tires. When she set out on her 2006 Triumph Bonneville for a trip she dubbed, “One Woman, One Bike, One Year” on Sept. 19, 2014, Lynn knew this would be a life-changing journey. What she didn’t know was how quickly the constantly changing weather and road conditions would wear out her tires. That’s where Roadrider tires from Avon Tyres made all the difference. “The benefits of the Avon tires were outstanding,” stated Lynn. “The Avon Roadrider’s outperformed any other tire I’d tried, providing up to 11,000 miles on the rears, and up to 20,000 miles on ...

At the 2015 Motorcycle Riders Foundation’s (MRF) 31st Meeting of the Minds Conference held in September in Milwaukee, WI, a Legislative Strategy Session was hosted by the MRF’s Legislative Committee. As has been done for the past several years, the MRF requested that it be attended by Sustaining State Motorcyclists’ Rights Organizations (SSMRO) Legislative and/or Executive Officers. We welcomed several representatives from our Sustaining Motorcycle Clubs and Organizations as well. The goal was to set the MRF’s Federal Legislative Agenda for the 2015 Meeting of the Minds to the 2016 Meeting of the Minds annual cycle. Continue reading.

Incredible. This is the shortest tech in history and partially because of the new product. Batteries are dirty, grubby, heavy, nasty bastard and they throw spark when you least expect it. About ten years ago, the whole battery acid nastiness disappeared with sealed batteries, a major step in the right direction. They kept improving and growing more reliable, then some mastermind started to develop Lithium Ion Batteries. For a while Matt Hotch and another industry designer scrambled to build a little dinky battery capable of spinning over any 124-inch stroker motor all day long. These puppies were amazing. I know Anti-Gravity batteries started to bring the technology to the general market, but now Biker’s Choice and V Twin Power have ...

For most of the last two decades, the Hells Angels motorcycle club in California has been a major sponsor of a Christmas charity for needy children. Over Thanksgiving weekend, one intrepid Reddit user witnessed the angels purchasing a California Walmart’s entire stock of children’s bicycles. The 200+ plus bikes will go straight to the Poverello House, a California based-charity for the homeless and impoverished. In 2010, the secretary for the Hells Angels opened up about why the group supports Poverello House. “People read what they want to read, and believe what they want to believe, we believe in these kids. We want to make sure to bring these toys here for these kids to have a great Christmas,” Merl Hefferman ...
