Thanking Our Veterans

General Posts / By Wayfarer

Thank you to those who have served. Today we honor the men and women who have served in our U.S. armed forces. On Veterans Day and every day, we are enormously grateful for the sacrifices they and their families have made to protect America. Too many of those who made this sacrifice are struggling with homelessness, worrying about their next meal, and suffering with disabilities. At Harbor Freight, we believe strongly in supporting organizations that care for American veterans and their families in their time of need. That’s why Harbor Freight Tools Foundation, LLC continues to support the important work of U.S. VETS, the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, and The Mission Continues. Harbor Freight also provides in-kind support for hundreds of veteran-serving organizations’ local projects in communities across the country each year, and our Associates also participate in activities that benefit veterans and their families. We are so proud of the many veterans who are members of our Harbor Freight family and that Newsweek Magazine has recognized Harbor Freight as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Veterans. Please join me in honoring all veterans and thanking them for their service to our country. Sincerely, Eric Smidt Founder and CEO Harbor Freight Tools Founder

Veterans and Freedom

We at the Motorcycle Riders Foundation wish all Veterans a Happy Veterans Day. Thank you for your service in defense of our freedoms and liberties. We, as motorcyclists, are fortunate that so many of our fellow riders are Veterans. You not only make our country but our motorcycling community stronger. “Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause.” – Abraham Lincoln http://mrf.org/

Hey, The motorcycle industry has a problem, but it also has the solution—if the family sticks together. We are under attack, but we also have a family of supporters lead by the Motorcycle Riders Foundation, which is now joined by NCOM, NCOCs, and the new IMA. Hell, maybe SEMA will step up. I could give a tiny bit of credit to the Bikernet team, but you can help by joining the MRF or the IMA family quick. Just join and get your family of riders to join so we can help these guys do the tough work in Washington and in your state legislatures. Let’s hit the news and you will learn more….Never give up and never give in. Ride free or die trying, goddammit! –Bandit Click Here to read this week’s news only on Bikernet.com * * * *

The Historic Bikernet Weekly News for November 2, 2023

General Posts / By Wayfarer

My generation partied and raised hell, but I was fortunate enough to be confronted with the fight for freedom and the processes. It made me more aware and attuned to the shit going on behind the party. It’s like sometimes you party, but sometimes you fight. Right now, we’re fighting. Yesterday alone, I help a friend load 4 cords of firewood into his garage yesterday morning, found parts for his ’60 Panhead project, took his fork tubes to the machine shop to be shortened. Met with my Dragon painter and gave him a deposit on his work. I’ve discussed my knucklehead paint project with numerous sources. Looks like I might paint it myself. But then I need to prepare a portion of the shop for painting. Well, for this minute, that’s all, but hang on. The projects never end. It was Halloween so we rolled into Sturgis to the Ugly MC headquarters for a party. Have a fantastic Holiday Season.

What We’re Up Against Weekly News October 19, 2023

General Posts / By Wayfarer

Be confident about the truth and freedom It’s amazing in the Black Hills. I love the mornings. Got so many projects and so little time. Think about it. We a living in the best of times from the standpoint of science, technology, communications and health (exception of Covid) but our leaders, elected officials are scared, bullied, bullies, control freaks and avoiding the truth. Get this. The last two issues of the AMA magazine have not mentioned any legislative issues. Did they miss the SEMA report or have they been taken over? The new MIC (Motorcycle industry Council) report just came out. No legislative alerts. What’s going on? If I was confident about anything it’s in the truth and freedom. Let’s hit the news. –Bandit Click here to read this Thursday’s Weekly News only on Bikernet.com * * * * * * * * * * * * Get Freedom, Get into Bandit’s Cantina…click to know more.

The Timely Bikernet Weekly News for October 12, 2023

General Posts / By Wayfarer

Hey, It’s timely and maybe not. Life is so ironic even to an old grubby biker. On one side folks want to ban smoke. They are very afraid. It’s all nuts. It’s all the best of times in the Black Hills of South Dakota. We took my Mossberg 12 gauge pistol with a 14-inch barrel and blew the shit out of everything in its path. There was one other shooter at the open range outside Deadwood, Scott. Tremendously knowledgeable about my old, used shortened hunting rifle, an 1885 Krag 30-40, he coached us on the rifle and helped tune the sight. Fred Cuba threw his first Twisted Nipple Event in Nebraska. You’ll see a report shortly. In the meantime, ride fast and free forever… –Bandit Click here to read this week’s news only on Bikernet.com Also, Check out the winner of the 100 word contest for September 2023 Support Bikernet.com by joining Bandit’s Cantina — click here to know more.

The Wake-up Bikernet Weekly News from September 28, 2023

General Posts / By Wayfarer

Seek the truth….get involved and informed I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING—But I don’t know how to describe it. We are having the time of our lives in the Black Hills. Guys ask me all the time about moving to snow country. It’s not so much about the move. It’s the ability to pack your shit and find a new adventure. It doesn’t matter where you go, just get it done, if you have the balls. The second part of the equation is the fact that we can still do pretty much whatever we want to do, for now. — Bandit Click here to read this week’s news only on Bikernet.com * * * * * * * * * * * *
