The Conundrum Bikernet Weekly News for June 23, 2022

By Wayfarer General Posts

This One is All Over the Place….

NEVER DULL—

About five weeks until the Sturgis Rally hits. I’m helping with the Chip and a raffle roller project.

My son, Frank asked what I want for father’s day and my neighbor recommended one of these killer gas cans. Bada bing, it was delivered.

Irish Rich is wrapping final mods to our VL frame and I will bring you the first VL, XA, FL project bike tech. We were even able to move the Salt Torpedo into the shop. I need to remove the rear wheel and take it to Jason at Deadwood Custom Cycles for a new tire. The winter got this one.

Ride fast and free, forever!

The Brotherhood Bikernet Weekly News for June 16th, 2022

By Wayfarer General Posts

It’s all Good and Inspiring…

Hey,

Life for a biker is a wonderful thing, primarily because of the brotherhood. Whether it’s club brothers, same brand brothers, two-wheeled brothers, it’s a special band of brothers.

I try to relax. You know that business of meditating works, but it takes extreme concentration.

We are working on a tech for Bikernet and maybe Cycle Source Magazine.

I’m real close to another tech about our ’48 UL about getting it started and mods for the future. Its full-on first tech is coming. I’m looking for a name for this puppy and I’m working with Atomic Bob on a concept illustration.

Until then, ride fast and free forever.

Integrity Bikernet Weekly News for June 9th, 2022

By Wayfarer General Posts

Spring is here & Motorcycling Events coming up

Click Here To Read the Weekly News only on Bikernet.com

The shop is so close I can taste it. It’s spring out here and flowers are blossoming everywhere.

I needed to fabricate some risers for the XA. My lathe is in a crate, so I jammed down to Clausen’s Machine in Spearfish.

The 85-82 year old husband and wife team are still running the machine shop, have been for over 50 years. They made me two sets, one 4-inch and one 6-inch. Irish Rich approved.

It’s almost whiskey time and a big weekend coming up. We will look at trailers for Bonneville, a bridge for the stream behind the shop and meeting with Irish Rich tomorrow. Saturday, might be ’48 UL start-up day or staining shop chair rails.

In the meantime, ride fast and free forever.

Remember them for their Sacrifice – Memorial Day 2022

By Wayfarer General Posts

This Memorial Day weekend take a moment and remember the sacrifices made by many while fighting for the freedoms each of us enjoy everyday. In streets across our nation traditional motorcycle events honoring those lost in military service will be held. We at the Motorcycle Riders Foundation are forever grateful to our brothers and sisters lost defending the freedoms we cherish.

As Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

Message from MRF: As we spend time with family and friends, let’s all take a moment to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country Free. We at the MRF wish you and yours a safe and happy Memorial Day.

About Motorcycle Riders Foundation: The Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) provides leadership at the federal level for states’ motorcyclists’ rights organizations as well as motorcycle clubs and individual riders.

There’s always Hope!

Lee Clemens from Departure Bike Works sent a highly modified S&S B carb and an intake manifold. I need a few more parts to make it complete for our Bonneville effort, the Salt Torpedo.

Music, Meaning & Motorcycling

By Wayfarer General Posts

Rocking On Requires Some Rolling

by Wayfarer

Sound has more impact on life than we know or credit it for. Sound is not just significant to humans but many lifeforms.

We now have turned sound to music. W have a whole range of music genres to choose from – for entertainment, for ‘edu-taiment’ of kids, for relaxing, for hitting the gym, for romantic night dinners, for wild parties and more.

In this article, there are also a few examples offered of some myths & inspirations from iconic Rock group ‘Creedence Clearwater Revival’ music & songs.

Often people assume meanings of songs based on lyrics, music style or other socio-cultural information from the period when a song first appeared.

The Almost Best of Times Bikernet Weekly News for May 12th, 2022

By Wayfarer General Posts

It’s an Inspirational Read

Click Here to Read the Weekly News only on Bikernet.com

Life is nuts, but we’re living in the best of times. Think about your phone, your car, all the technology to keep us safe and going to the next wild event.

We look around the world at all the bad shit, and wonder why anyone bothers with the bullshit, when you could be camping, building cool shit, riding with the wind, going on a run, flying an airplane, heading to a car show or a bike show or enjoying a day in the park with your kids.

Okay, so I went on the Cycle Source Podcast last week. I didn’t do as well as I would have liked to, but what the hell. It’s just a couple of grubby bikers and the lovely Cycle Source Queen trying to entertain more grubby bikers.
