Bikernet Weekly News for 01 August 2019 Sturgis is starting tomorrow and news is coming in from the road out. The cute little Easyriders French editor is coming to see me next week. Frankie went to MetalSport about his FXR front wheel yesterday and is coming to see me around his Dyna front wheel today. Hell, James and Jeremiah rolled James’ Dyna in the shop yesterday while George “The Wild Brush and I worked on the canopy latch. They replaced his stock clutch with an extra plate Barnett clutch. We will bring you a report next week. Works like a champ, if you have upgraded your performance package. I’m also working on three bike features for Bikernet Readers.

I’ve been approached by two companies to either write or produce a documentary on the history of Easyriders. The new Choppers Magazine wants a written story and a documentary producer approached me about producing a documentary. What was an Easyrider? What did he stand for and who understood the code and who didn’t? That may be the context of the article. The Bikernet Weekly News is sponsored in part by companies who also dig Freedom including: Cycle Source Magazine, the MRF, Las Vegas Bikefest, Iron Trader News, ChopperTown, BorntoRide.com and the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum.

What an interesting week. We are scrambling with the Salt Torpedo. I trying to outfit the new Bikernet Salt Flats Van for the trip to Bonneville. I’ve been in touch with various Easyriders contributors and now ex-staff members regarding the future. A few of us have been super-lucky to make a living in the motorcycle industry. Even tougher, I’ve been having a blast in the Chopper industry most of my life. It’s not about the money, obviously, it’s about sex. What could be sexier than to bang around choppers, metalflake paint, sultry art and girls all your life. What could be better. Otherwise, this week has been amazingly positive with cool resources surfacing for the Torpedo. We’ve about got the body handled. Jane came by and took shots of my ’72 Ford F250 and the Shovelhead in the back. She thinks she can move it and the Shovelhead. Not sure I can sell the 1928 Shovelhead.

Bikernet Weekly News for 4th of July Read More »
What’s hip and what’s real? We see it constantly around us. It’s one of the things I liked about being a biker. It was just me and my motorcycle. I wore what I wore for me and nobody else. Most of us looked like hell most of the time. Who cared? Life is changing fast and in many respects I don’t like the business formula thrust on us by many companies. I try to keep Bandit’s Cantina and Bikernet simple and to the point, no games. As I often say behind a bottle of whiskey. “Time will tell and shit will smell,” as told to me by a Richmond Hells Angel when I was a prospect.

Over 200,000 made the annual pilgrimage to the Austin area to party like it was 1999 and with a good number of them entering the rally. The ROT is a throwback rally where the Harley faithful connect at the Travis County Expo Center for music, stunt shows, vendors and custom bikes. READ THE ROT RALLY REPORT BY CLICKING HERE

Anything can happen with a Can Do Attitude! We use to be a society of can-do folks. We built, invented and created everything and rocked on. Now, it seems we’re the can-regulate everything era. Salt Torpedo effort has been a 6-year odyssey and it will rumble this year because we said we can do it. So far so good. JOIN THE CANTINA – to read the Bikernet Weekly News – Click Here

Car Shows, Fiberglass and Panheads By Bandit with photos by Wrench and Art Hall What a nuts week. I looked and rode an ’87 in Fullerton. I wasn’t impressed. Salt Torpedo got close to being ready for fiberglass work. I attended the bike/car show in Seal Beach and these shots are from Art Hall. I’m on a mission from the lord of the Piston Pirates.
