5-Ball VL,XA,FL Knucklehead build, Part 3

General Posts / By

by Bandit with photos by Weed I’m facing a number of challenges. I’ve also faced some pressure lately and I don’t like to associate pressure or stress with building motorcycles. Hell, I moved to motorcycle Nirvana in the Black Hills to duck the bullshit California riders face daily. I thought I could just tinker in the shop in Sturgis for hours unencumbered, without anxiety or worry, especially in the winter. I don’t have a deadline for this bike, what gives? Hell, I don’t know. I started to lean on myself to get shit done, so that’s why I’m writing about it, so I face the music and stop. Okay, did it work? Goddammit, this puppy is going to be cool or I’ll die trying, right. Hang on for the next episode.

Bikers Meet The Old West In New Adventure Fiction

General Posts / By

by K. Randall “Bandit” Ball The city from Laguna to Irvine and El Toro closed in on Trabuco Canyon like a concrete plaque. But Cook’s still resided in the last remaining unencumbered scrub hills. Bruno tied off his helmet to his TT bars and kicked up dust in the ground-shale parking lot to the door. It was wide, thick planks and swung open with a rusting creak. Dark inside the Four Tops played Only the Lonely from the neon jute box. But something foreboding filled the air. Straight ahead was the bar and a number of club members scrambling around something or someone on the floor.

Just before the article was published the feds raided and put an end to prostitution in the Black Hills forever, sorta… Click Here to read this article only on Bikernet.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Click to Join Bandit’s Cantina for exclusive content plus Girls of Bikernet
