The Quirky Bikernet Weekly News for June 17th, 2021

Hey, I’m catching on, catching up and catching the Rally vibe. If you live in these regions, it’s like living with a mercurial girlfriend. If she’s in a bad mood you can’t get shit done. That’s the weather around here, and I think it’s cool. During the summer, you plan and hope to get as much shit done as possible. The other driving force for some is the rally. That’s our driving force this year. I decided to keep the Deadwood digs so bros could hang out here during the rally including my grandson and his pals. We are trying like hell not to burn any daylight. We have content headed your way from Dmac. I hope to get started on Dan’s feature next week, and I hope you enjoy chapter 94 of the Bandit’s Cantina series. Let me know what you think. In the meantime, Ride Fast and Free Forever. – Bandit Click Here to Read the Weekly News only on Bikernet.

Bandit’s Cantina Episode 94: Melody Searches for Zero-Footprint Nirvana

“I’ve got to get out of here,” Melody said as she woke up the next morning. “I can’t handle the pollution. Did you see all those trucks, the noise, and the smell. I can’t stand it.” She continued to badger him. “What should I do now? I have a degree. I must get out of LA. You know about Global Warming, right?” She burst out of the bathroom like a spring flower blooming, beautiful, fresh, and full of energy. “I did some research on my phone,” she said. “The governor of California is testing a Zero emissions community. Would you mind taking me to Nirvana.” “Have you seriously reviewed this deal? Bandit said. “Of course, I have,” Melody spat. “This will be the wave of the future. No carbon footprint.” “Don’t we need CO2 to live?” Bandit asked. “Don’t be ridiculous,” Melody said pulling on her $1000 leather boots. “Carbon dioxide is pollution.” “Will they allow you to wear those boots into Environmental Nirvana?” Bandit said. “Uh,” Melody said. “I don’t know. I found an organic breakfast place is Venice.” They walked out to Marko’s stretched FXR in the parking lot. Melody stopped, stunned. “I can’t get to Nirvana on that!” “Or I can drop you off at the airport,” Bandit suggested. “No way, the covid, the masks, the crowds and the polluting planes,” Melody rattled. “Did you know they are banning air flights in Spain. Gotta save the planet. Where’s the Ferrari?” Click Here to Read the latest Episode in the Bandit’s Cantina Series only on Bikernet.

Life and Times of Bandit, June 2021

The Final Escape to the Badlands A buddy of mine came over yesterday. He’s from the old school Chicago streets and he’s a riddled with wild stories. He just bought a book about the Hangmen MC from back in the ’60s. For a minute I met and rode with some Hangmen and Outlaws, in Long Beach. They weren’t associated with the gang back east. In the early club days, a group of riders would just pick up whatever club name they thought was cool and run with it. Sorta the deal applied to the Berdo Hells Angels and the bay area group.

The Crazy Bikernet Weekly News for June 10th, 2021

Life is Nuts, So Let’s Party We are about to publish a story about the motorcycle boom during the Covid era. It’s interesting how our industry flourished when the world was shut down. I’m about to finish a Life and Times piece about our move to the Badlands. I’m hoping it will help others, who are grappling with similar decisions. It was a stressful challenge but well worth every box of crap we hauled out here. I’m working on a Cantina Episode, a few bike features, and a girls of bikernet feature.

Summer Kick-off Bikernet Weekly News for June 3, 2021

The Sun is Out and We’re Riding Hey, I wish I knew what to say today. My feeble mind is packed with thoughts and new experiences since landing lock-stock and barrel in the Badlands. On Memorial Day, I rode with Woody and about 20 riders to the scene of one of the last Indian battles. We found out where the name Buffalo Chip came from, Jonathan “Buffalo Chip” White. We rode north on the 79 past Mike Ballard’s biker home, I believe passed Sugar Bear’s Chopperville, Hoover and stopped at a magnificently built western bar. Let’s hit the news, I’m getting hitched today and need to finish early. Let’s ride fast and free forever, –Bandit Click Here to Read the Weekly News on Bikernet.

Memorial Day Bikernet Weekly News for May 27th, 2021

Hey, Are things calming down or heating up. I had lots of dreams about Bonneville last night. Hopefully haul bikes will deliver the Salt Torpedo to the Badlands soon. I tell young guys that building bikes is an investment. Buying and restoring antique bikes can work out well. The adage, “All eggs in one basket,” is a good one. Ya need to diversify. But do what’s comfortable for you, but just do something goddammit. Have a hell of a Memorial Day and remember those who died for freedom. –Bandit Click Here to Read the Weekly News on Bikernet.

New Beginnings Bikernet Weekly News for May 20, 2021

Hey, This is a momentous day in the Badlands. Bandit and the Redhead have escaped to the Badlands. This effort was a mixture of organization, money, stress, and perseverance. Someone said I should write a story about the move. At the time, the thought of it terrified me, but I suppose I’m getting to the point… I needed to finish the job first. I will mention one item that was paramount: Coordination. You could do us a major big favor and share the news with anyone and everyone. We work hard on the news every week and I believe it covers motorcycle related news and freedom news worldwide. You could help a lot, by grabbing the link and sharing it with the world. Hang on for more reports, and keep freedom alive, forever. –Bandit Click Here to read the Weekly News on Bikernet.
