By Wayfarer General Posts

All the Motorcycle News that matters

Hey,
It seems like the pressure is on. The rally is just around the corner and the projects and commitments are piling up and then there is Bonneville. I’m on it even today.

See the new model & the women’s T-shirt on her from Frank’s Five Ball Racing Platform.

Bikernet.com’ 5-Balll Racing is headed back to the Salt, 2022. You can be a sponsor, even if you can’t make it. (check out past Salt record essential “How To Build A Salt Flats Motorcycle” book by Keith Ball, click here). I just received a proof of our Bonneville shirts.

Bikernet.com Billboards are up in the Badlands.

Ride fast and free, forever!

The Truth Bikernet Weekly News for July 21st, 2022

By Wayfarer General Posts

Cool Ya Mama chop “Don’t Lie To Me….”

Hey,
The truth is everything. I scrambled out of bed a 6:24 this morning. My mission, to complete the Bikernet Weekly News always with hope for the future of America and motorcycling Freedom.

A friend pointed out the obvious. There are radicals on both sides, but most of America is in the center, just trying to build a life, a family or a chopper and be free.

They changed our Torpedo number to 5 or 5-Ball, perfect. New vinyls ordered.

Let’s continue to ride free or die trying.

Rally Planning Bikernet Weekly News for July 14th, 2022

By Wayfarer General Posts

Action is happening fast !!!

Hey,

My grandson just experienced his first rally vendor effort in Southern California.

I honor and congratulate every brother who makes it to the Black Hills for Sturgis Rally. There better be enough Jack Daniels to go around.

And for every vendor small and large, I respect their efforts to make the rally a more complete experience for every rider and enthusiast. I wish them traveling luck and success in the Black Hills. The brothers and sisters are anxiously waiting.

Keep after the dream and ride free forever or die trying.

A Cool Custom Strider Bike by Edge

By Wayfarer General Posts

Greg “Edge” Scheuer delivers for world-famous Flying Piston Builder’s Breakfast

“The entire take on my build was to recreate the famous picture of Marlin Brando from the 1953 film, “The Wild One.” Using one of my grandchildren as a stand in for Brando. I have two grandkids that are both about three so the timing was good.

Luckily, I had a build team which is the only reason the bike is finished.

The photo shoot with my two grandsons’, Wilder and Finn, was a hoot but eventually we got there. Special thanks to Prince Jeff Najar for the opportunity to work with the Flying Piston Benefit.

See you in Sturgis!”

The Upbeat Bikernet Weekly News for July 7th, 2022

By Wayfarer General Posts

Bonneville Salt Flats Registration Open, Pre-Entry Discount Ends July 15th

Always Hope for the Best !

Hey,

We are flying through this year. Every Monday, I tell the redhead, “Hang on. This week will be exciting, and it is.”

I’m working with a book designer in Rapid City to convert the Terry the Tramp book onto Amazon books files.

Already started making shit in the garage. This is an effort to organize and find spots for all my shit. It is going to be a test in patience and organization.

We are grappling with positioning and bolting down our new Smithy Lathe. We put it in on the counter with skidster forks, but it needs positioning.

I’m working with Atomic Bob and Andy, of Crank and Stroker apparel for our Bonneville T-shirts.

Hang on for more reports, but in the meantime ride fast and free, goddammit.

By Wayfarer General Posts

Buck Lovell shot the Pandemic for a Cycle Source feature this week

American Freedom is Working

Hey,

This could be a magnificent day in the hood, as you will see in the news.

I wrote a story for Micah’s feature in Choppers Magazine. Magazines are heating up again. My grandson, Frankie and the lovely Em set up the FiveBall booth at Born Free. The place was jammed and hot, but the 5-Ball banners flew high.

We will bring you the ultimate 4-speed trans clutch tech. It is working like a champ. Well, sorta. Then we bring you our first VL XA FL build tech with Irish Rich of Shamrocks Customs at the helm.

Have a terrific 4th, stay safe, don’t burn the house down. We will be riding free forever.

Rode Alone by K. Randall “Bandit” Ball`

By Wayfarer General Posts

New Fiction on Bikernet.com

“Bandit read her note again in a coffee shop at 1:00 in the morning. He hoped it wouldn’t happen, but he could feel it in her features and her comments. She was on the drift. Without her there was nothing except his favorite flannel and his leather saddlebags.”

Maybe it had to do with motorcycles and how they made him feel. His chopper and a 4-inch barrel J.D. Crow engraved Colt Government Model pistol were all he needed, with his Ariat boots and his Buck pocket knife.

Five Motorcycle Sales Trends Shaking the Vintage Market

By Wayfarer General Posts

Prices for classic motorcycles are changing

by James Hewitt from Hagerty.com

There’s a Hagerty Motorcycle Price Guide that uses thousands of transactions to track values on 9751 motorcycles. Here are five trends that stood out to us in the most recent update, released in June.

The smart take in the motorcycle community of late, much like for cars, is that a full-on, concours-level restoration rarely pays — at least financially speaking.

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!
