Hey, Well, we’re flying into the new year. I ran through five chapters of my Motorbooks project yesterday, and felt good about it. That was a relief. I may try to hit another bunch of chapters today. This project turned into a haunting homework assignment. I always want to learn from each writing project, and […]

Noel, Noel, I had one request for Christmas, the autobiography of Mark Twain. Unfortunately, the kid responsible, missed the boat and they were sold out. That’s typical for some kids nowadays. They wait until the last minute, then make excuses. This kid didn’t give up entirely, and bought me several, very cool books, one was

Hey, This is nuts. It’s raining cats, and Sheppard’s in Long Beach, California, like Seattle rain, for a week. Look out the window. It’s like Connecticut in the winter, gray, cold, and wet everywhere. Even the Bikernet Dogs don’t know what the hell to do. And of course this was the IMS show weekend

Noel, Noel, It’s that magical time of year. There’s nothing like it on the planet, yet time screams on, and the project list doesn’t falter. Yesterday I could have planned to hit the Long Beach Boat Parade, through the crowded Naples Island traffic. In fact I Installed a 42 mm Mikuni carb on the CrazyHorse

Hey, This is a strange overcast on the coast, Sunday. I’m slightly hung-over. I have a drinking code. First, never mix your drinks. If you’re drinking beer, stick with it. Don’t mix in Jager, or Rum. I messed with the code last night. We hit the Los Angeles boat parade circuit, on Zack’s Boston Whaler.

Seems Bob Dylan “faked” his infamous motorcycle crash in the ’60s. I think is interesting is how creative he was when he owned/rode his Triumph… and how that changed after he quit. (…from The Vintagent:) These photos of Bob Dylan date from 1964/5, when he rode a Triumph on the leafy roads surrounding his home

Hey, Another strange day in Paradise. Sometimes I stumble around this joint in a fog. I’m grappling with this tech on the 5-Ball factory racer. It has never run properly, and I’m slowly eliminating any potential problems, if I don’t add some myself. We messed with the carb and determined that the intake wasn’t the

The mysterious Bob T., a member of the notorious Chop N Grind Bonneville Racing team, called me in the middle of the night and whispered, “You got the briefcase. I got the shit.” I didn’t know what the hell he was talking about, then an e-mail arrived containing over 100 vintage biker images from 1965.

It all started when Bandit 86’d his long-bed Ford F-150 with the extended cab. It was getting long in the tooth with over 160,000 miles on the odometer. The lowered monster with rally wheels and stripped body never blinked, only requiring brake pads every 50,000 miles. The truck was a mechanical dream, but he sold

Hey, It’s a mellow Sunday with our building rattling every time a truck rolls past. We had a helluva Pre-Love Ride Party, and I’m scrambling on my 1%er book for Motorbooks. Jeremiah’s Zipper’s/PM/BUB tech will be launched tomorrow and I might start working on the 5-Ball factory racer this afternoon.
