Old Flames by the Wicked Bitch

General Posts / By

Old Flames by the Wicked Bitch Today, I decided to burn all the pine straw accumulating in my front yard. The air just this side of too cold to be outside, I relished the brilliant Arkansas sun. I knew the fire and the labor would soon warm me, make me hurt and make me smile. The concrete of my barn floor was damp and cold beneath my bare feet as I pulled my yard broom from behind dusty motorcycle fenders hanging on the wall. I navigated my wheelbarrow through my menagerie of Harleys towards the front yard. The fire caught quickly, and I dumped wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow of straw on the pile, while ignoring the cold air and engulfing the sunshine.

Bare bones ride, motor, rigid frame. And gas tank. Usually 2-3 prime kicks then ignition on and 1 or two and she fires. Went through the ritual. Nothing. Tried again….nothing. Kept kicking until dripping in sweat and onlookers chuckling. Went back inside grabbed another cold one and stepped back outside. What’s that wire hanging free. Damn it.

100 WFC: Taking care of busyness

General Posts / By

100 word fiction contest continues…. #100WFC Taking care of busyness by Steven Sanner There she lay. She had been there waiting for the touch of his hand for a long time. He had said she was the love of his life, but he hasn’t shown any interest in a long time. His excuses kept piling up, working long hours, too tired from work, family obligations….. a long list that seems to keep growing. He always had other priorities. Today he finally walked in the door and went over to her, looking ashamed, but there was the gleam of want in his eye. He reached out and ran his hand along her seat, finally remembering what it was for, and said “Old girl, it’s time to get you running again” and he began the long awaited restoration of his beloved ‘63 Panhead. * * * * * * * * Yup, its a weekly contest open to all.

100 WFC: Flat out for a flathead

General Posts / By

100 word fiction contest continues…. #100WFC Flat out for a flathead by Rhys Driving by an open garage on my way to the next job. Spotted what appeared to be an old flatty HD. I stopped and approached the person and asked if the bike was for sale. Yes it was. He quoted a price which was workable but being day before payday I didn’t have any cash in my pocket. I told him I’d be right back as I had the cash at home. Raced home grabbed the stash and made my way back. As I pulled up I saw the bike being loaded into a van. Dollar short and a minute late. * * * * * * * * Yup, its a weekly contest open to all. Just sign up for the free weekly newsletter by clicking here.

An Unintentional Pilgrimage

General Posts / By

by Rogue and Friends A Ride To The Crossroads I like the things that my brother Berry Wardlaw comes up with and asks me if I want to be involved in. Not long ago he asked me what I thought about a Time Capsule with motorcycle history. With the way things are changing in our world today and have over the years, I am sure he already knew my answer, as I have been doing some of that in hopes to pass on to our current and future motorcycle riders and others. Luckily there are others who think the same way and we have museums and other sources doing it. But having a Time Capsule I believe is a new concept.

The 5-Ball Racing ballistic nylon vest – get yours at 5-Ball Racing Shop, click to view Shop owners are not aware of Motorcycle Riders Foundation. People are busy. We are bombarded constantly by TV, radio, internet, social media you name it. Shop owners struggle with day to day operations, including doing the job, accounting, marketing, maintenance and customer service. Then there’s the fun aspect. So, who has time to be involved in the government, or motorcycle rights? I believe most folks just raise their hands in despair and try to go with the flow. Plus, there’s been a major movement telling us not to question their facts or motives, just fucking bend and step aside. I have a feeling that’s coming to an end and folks are going to step up. Let’s see. Time will tell and shit will smell. –Bandit CLICK HERE to read this Week’s Thursday News only on Bikernet.com * * * *

Eight Tools to Up Your Home Workshop

General Posts / By

Essentials to flip into high gears inside your Garage by Kyle Smith from Hagerty.com We all started somewhere, and for most of us garage-dwellers, it was a set of sockets and screwdrivers. From there we progressively acquired tools to complete tasks and projects until we reached a point where there wasn’t a project to be scared of. A big part of that is the mental toolbox, but the physical tools in your hands or on your bench can be critical in deciding if you are able to take on a project. We took a look around the garage and rounded up these eight tools that we recommend for a budding DIY enthusiast.

Springer Transformation – Custom Building Adventure

General Posts / By

The Springer Transformation My Education into Bike Customization for the Poor, Unskilled, Wanna-be Biker. By Johnny White with photos by his lovely wife I bought this Springer Classic in August 2005 – right after my inaugural trip to Sturgis on the 100th Anniversary – from Mancuso Harley-Davidson in Houston, Texas after seeing it on the showroom floor. I had gotten a gift card for my recent birthday and decided to get a t-shirt. Well, the t-shirt cost me more than $25,000. I rode the bike bone stock for an entire year. I had made the famous lying quote more than once to my better half, “I love it just the way she is, I won’t change a thing.” For a whole year that rung true. Most of my trips were back and forth to work or the gym. Most of my changes were like most people, limited by 1) my financial situation and 2) my ability. I also had one other caveat, in that whatever change I made had to be completed in time for me to go to work as my bike was my main transport. So, as I started, the bike remained stock until the ride to Sturgis in 2006. CLICK HERE To Read this feature on Bikernet .com CLICK HERE to Join the Cantina for more exclusive content
