  El Bandito, I wanted to reach out and share a heartwarming act I was recently honored to be a part of. I know Bikernet has never had too many contributions from the Christian biker culture, but your boy is starting to dabble in it. Events like this past weekend only pull me stronger into

A brother went down recently and we needed to pick him up dust him off, correct his motorcycle and launch him on a run to Vegas Bikefest with a couple of other hard-riding Dyna pilots.

This is a strange one. I’ve witnessed the rise and fall of numerous businesses in the Chopper Kingdom in my 45 years of drinking Jack Daniels, riding choppers, and chasing redheads. I’ve seen the changes, felt the pain of losing brothers, and watched the Chopper world crumble again in 2008. Now we look at a
