Hey, What a whacky, wonderful week. Not sure where to start, but there’s a message here somewhere. I’m now on the board of directors of the Sturgis Museum. Tomorrow it’s back to the museum to work with the staff on the magazine. I’m trying to build a 3-5 mile track in the Badlands. Assalt Weapan is going back to the Salt if we can go at all. Let’s stay proud, active and always riding free. –Bandit Click here to read this Thursday’s Edition of the weekly news only on Bikernet.com * * * * Why wait? Discover the life beyond the horizon.

by Bandit with photos by Weed The Paint Returned from TNT It’s been awhile, but I haven’t dawdled. I’ve been working hard on various projects. That guy in Deadwood, who was once 45 John bought a 1960 Panhead roller/basket case and I’ve been helping with the reconstruction. I rebuilt or built and trans from a case and a sketchy box of parts. With Fab Kevin we built a front disc brake. John rebuilt the rear star hub and I helped with fitment and the rear brake. We slid in the engine after I stumbled. I used the rear axle and a flat lift jack to jack up the bike, so I could block it, remove the jack and start to install the 5-speed trans in a 4-speed S&S case. The trans didn’t want to go so I filed and ground all the paint out of the 4-speed slots and the slot I made and welded for the 5th stud on the right. I even had to grind the rear tab on the trans case more for additional clearance. I couldn’t run an old school 4-speed trans for a couple of reasons. It’s an alternator S&S engine and I wanted it to be electric start.

Hey, I love progress. I don’t care what the hell it is, as long as we’re making progress. It snowed last night and at the crack of dawn I was forced into 7 degrees to clear the driveway for the redhead. She rolled south to work in the dreaded Chocolate Mines in Deadwood. I have a couple of techs hanging-fire. I’ll get to them or die trying. In the meantime, ride fast and free forever, goddammit. –Bandit Click here to read the weekly news this Thursday only on Bikernet.com * * * * Get yourself some 5-Ball Racing Leathers to fight the good snowfight !

Cherished New Year Bikernet Weekly News for January 4, 2024 Read More »
Hey— Party like there indeed is a tomorrow. Don’t give in to those doomsday prophecies. The planet is not cooking–it’s your media-conditioned brain that’s on gas. So, kick start your future journey instead of relenting on the kickstand. Get up, saddle up and get noticed. Wheels are two, but the community needs to be one. Solidarity does not mean compromise. Get involved, ask questions, gain insight, share your experiences, evolve a collective consciousness and build a knowledge base that their bots can’t censor because it is out on the streets and inside corporate boardrooms. It is not a fight, it is an answer to those who doubt your lifestyle and culture. You don’t need to be hostile. Show them the physical, mental and even spiritual benefits of motorcycles, motorcycle communities, exploration, tourism, competition and engineering that is not limited to mega-factories but available to high-school students too. I am sure you know better and more, so I need not attempt to list ways, means and methods to engage your neighbors, colleagues, fellow citizens and legislators. If there is one sure way to test your beliefs, it is to head out and see if anyone else is riding against the same headwinds. —- Wayfarer Editor Bikernet Blog * * * * * * * * Hey, This will be a major year coming up. Our government, truth and democracy is at stake. If you don’t want to take on the task to save the country, join the MRF, the IMA or your local motorcycle rights group and let them do the hard work. I want everyone to have a terrific News Years Celebration. Then we need to hunker down and take care of business. This year will be major… Ride Free Forever or die trying! –Bandit Click here to read this
