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. […]

The brisk autumn air whistled across the forest as I made my way towards the last set of curves in my weekly “forest run.” There’s a stretch of highway just west of the interstate that holds 25 miles of curves and dips directly through part of the Sam Houston National Forest. I love to carve

Hey, This is an interesting day. The Retro Love Ride is happening as I type this. Unfortunately I couldn’t make it. We threw a Pre-Love Ride party Friday night just after I roamed through the halls of the massive SEMA automotive convention and I caught the airport mung, plus I needed to rebuild my

Hey, This is one of those strange days. I thought the Sunday Post was doomed to be lack Luster, and I would take heat from our readers. But then I started digging and the news kept coming. I actually took a break from writing projects and hit the shop. Mr. Soto and I blasted

HEY, How’s the weather? This has been the strangest October in the history of SoCal. Mother Nature threw the wrong switch and we jumped from summer to wet winter overnight. I wish she’d get her shit together. The Love Ride is just around the corner and we need dry streets. Folks usually fly out to

Hey, Wait until you see the flicks of old gas stations from the ’20s. Smacks of simpler times. Is there a way to turn the clock back, to simplify our lives? Remember when we had one motorcycle and two girlfriends, no mortgage, no car payments, no computers, no cell phones, no My Space,

Hey, The girls keep coming from Vegas. Now I’m bummed I wasn’t there with Branscombe Richmond and his Renegade Posse Band. Yesterday I tried another 5-Ball Factory Racer ignition fix test, unsuccessfully. It blubbers at mid-range, and we can’t find out what’s happening with the Crazy Horse Engine. Must be something I’m doing… Then I

“I picked this up yesterday,” Don Whalen, of Sierra Madre Motorcycles, said. “It’s a 1902 Mitchell. It was made in Milwaukee at the same time those other guys were starting up. I wonder if they knew each other? Can you imagine that conversation.” We ran to the Bikernet Library and flipped through the Encyclopedia of

Wow, I’m screwed up. For some reason I thought the Love Ride was behind us, when it’s a month away in November. New deal this year. We’re rolling the clocks back to a time when the Love Ride weaved a pack of Harleys from Glendale to Calamigos Ranch, in Malibu, California. The deal this year

Hey, Cannonball wraps up today. I had a suggestion for the future. My thoughts included a Cannonball every other year, and each rally we would move the bikes up a decade. So the next Cannonball would include bikes older than 1926, the next run would reach to 1936, and so on.

Although the economy is on shaky legs, two-wheels are apparently much more stable, especially when you’re considering investing in precious metals or keeping up to date on that bike gathering dust in your garage. Gold has jumped to over $1200 an ounce and there’s plenty of that to be found in “golden classics,” case in

It was the summertime and the living wasn’t easy. Nothing seemed to work, the internet was down, the e-mail system quit, and we had Department of Water and Power journeymen crawling all over the poles adjacent to the vast Bikernet Interplanetary Headquarters. They explained that as the street widening moved forward, the various agencies argued

Hey, Just back from the El Camino Antique Motorcycle Swapmeet, here in Los Angeles. It was the biggest ever with 100 bikes in the show and a full compliment of swapmeet vendors. We entered two bikes, the 5-Ball racing Peashooter and Nyla’s Bobber by Kent Weeks at Lucky Devil. We didn’t place, but Tom
