Chopper Charlie was in a jam, he knew it. He stepped into too many dark alleys with the wrong guys. He told his old lady to pack everything she owned into her Buick Roadmaster station wagon and get ready to split. Melanie did as she was told. A tiny, bubbly thing, as cute as a

  The Motorcycle Riders Foundation is chiefly concerned with issues at the national and international levels that impact the freedom and safety of American street motorcyclists. The 2022 MRF Meeting of the Minds was held in downtown Des Moines this year… and as the hotel block quickly filled and spilled over into other hotels, we

I am a Biker and A Disabled Veteran. There are a lot of people who are as well, including Bandit, and most of us deal with the Veterans Administration for our medical treatment. This was promised to us when we enlisted and or drafted into the military.  I have a close friend who is a

How stupid is Ocasio Cortez? Is that your question? You want to know how stupid she actually is? Well, I don’t think we have an actual GAUGE for stupidity on this planet, even with regard to American members of the House of Representatives. The stupidity gauge is, well, it’s a variable depending on, well, the

Bandit read her note again in a coffee shop at 1:00 in the morning. He hoped it wouldn’t happen, but he could feel it in her features and her comments. She was on the drift. Without her there was nothing except his favorite flannel and his leather saddlebags. Maybe it had to do with motorcycles

    Have you ever wondered why the flag of the United States of America is folded 13 times when it is lowered or when it is folded and handed to the widow at the burial of a veteran? Here is the meaning of each of those folds and what it means to you.  The

    Dear LA Times Editors and Hacks; I’m guessing everyone with a hack-degree at the Times sees in Gavin Newsom an intellectual kindred spirit, since the lot of you, and him, are all  ideologically comatose clumps of algae. I notice none of you editors and hacks at this glorified real-estate flyer you call a

Director Randall Wilson recently won a Director’s Choice Award for his movie, Ride Free Or Die. The movie is available on Amazon, and is described there as ‘an insider’s look into the political world of motorcycle clubs. The clubs are fighting for their constitutional rights against what they perceive as law enforcement profiling and harassment.

  I answered the phone without checking caller ID, always a mistake. It was Marilyn Stemp with the world-famous Flying Piston Benefit Breakfast. I have been invited to modify a Strider balance bike, the kind that young kids can push with their feet and learn to balance. I don’t have actual builder talent but what

Despite India having to import 86% of its crude oil, a new petrol engine motorcycle has been launched by TVS Motor. It may not be as simple as it may appear. Most fuel serves transport, such as commercial vehicles and the popular commuter buses in cities (municipal & State transport). Also, just as Royal Enfield

  After a recent article on this majestic venue that asked the question “just how stupid IS Ocasio?” and which article fell far short of determining an actual number value to this mystery, the work was not done. I mean it wasn’t as though she was cooperating with me, possibly so that she could come

Back in 1972 Easyriders Magazine was forming an organization named A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments (ABATE). Meetings were held in Florida and California and open to the various motorcycle rights groups and induvial from around the country. The National Abate did not happen, But ended up with each state having their own organization and having

  George A. Wyman made a name for himself as a bicycle racer, but he reached legendary status when, 119 years ago, he rode a motorized two-wheeler from San Francisco to New York to become the first person to cross the North American continent aboard an engine-powered vehicle. Wait, you might ask. Doesn’t that distinction

Editor’s Note: In a changing world, I ask myself constantly about the mindsets behind different chopper movements in the States and as you will see here in the Nordic Countries. I would love to listen to their conversations. The chopper movement in the States has changed, but what about the thinking behind each new trend?

  I’ve been busting rocks on a rock pile of cannabis for a number of years to create a powder that food companies can easily infuse CBD and THC into candies, bake goods, and beverages. What we came up with is a new cannabis technology, Deeper Green™, that is fast acting, tasteless and odorless. We

  NCOM CONVENTION ROCKS NASHVILLE Hundreds of bikers’ rights activists from across America rumbled into ‘Music City USA’ to rock the country capital with the sounds of motorcycles and two-wheel politics, as the National Coalition of Motorcyclists hosted their 37th annual NCOM Convention, June 17-19 in Nashville, Tennessee! Rising to the call for action on

Salt Torpedo Getting Ready for the SaltWe’re beginning to prep the Salt Torpedo for the BMST event from August 27 until September 2 in Bonneville, Utah on 65-square miles of salt. This event will take place just a couple of weeks after the historic Bonneville Speed Trials for everything on wheels. The BMST was developed

To say this project has a long story is quite an understatement. Miracles two, we have all stayed friends and loosely in contact over the years. During this long, drawn-out period there are so many memories, kids, work, life and the madness that comes from it all, haha! Like so many things in life, it

  For many artists and custom builders, the sojourn in Sturgis starts at the Flying Piston Benefit Breakfast hosted at the Buffalo Chip Campground.     This is the 8th year of the Flying Piston’s Builders Breakfast hosted by the Buffalo Chip and presented by Russ Brown. As co-producer this is also the 8th time I’ve

Hey, Johnny White and I have been discussing the significance of choppers, not just for the motorcycle industry but for men and women. What’s it means to build a chopper? How does it fit in the Zen of things? Why would anyone take a perfectly good, running stock motorcycle and bob or chop it? What’s

Vivian got us lodging at a cool place in town. It even had a hitching rail and Berry tied his iron horse to it. We did make it to Bisbee for breakfast with Jay and then rode to his place in Lowell.     WOW     We went to eat and crossed the border

Mick grew up on the South side of Chicago on the edge of a coal mining district. His folks were poor, and dad died of cancer at a young age. He didn’t have much choice except to join the service directly out of High School and send half of his paychecks home. His dad didn’t

This tech will be amazing. I built this 1950 Panhead during the Covid thing, so we called it the Pandemic. We fought with a magneto for a year and finally slipped in a used automatic advance distributor and it started first kick, with a Mike Egan R.I.P. rebuilt M-35 Linkert. We ran into another issue.
