Hey, Hate Ignites Hate Maybe there’s something to be investigated here. Again, the media plays a role. Mass shootings are on the rise. It’s not because of the guns, but because of frustration. I watched a portion of a report on PBS News hour last night. A professor wrote a book blaming slavery on capitalism. […]

Hey, I ran two Climate pieces a couple of weeks ago. I got a kick out of this one from the Week. Let’s ask everyone who buys a fossil fuel car or motorcycle in the future to plant a tree. Done deal. THE GREEN SOLUTION TO CLIMATE CHANGE—Scientist have calculated that the cheapest and most

Hey, I am a man of many strange thoughts. Although, they are predominantly centered around riding free and helping others. I woke up the other beautiful morning and noted how the heat has subsided some and it was a perfect day for working in the shop and getting shit done. Then is dawned on me.

Hey, Life is so interesting, challenging, foreboding and sometimes fucked. But what the hell, each day is an adventure of sorts. It’s all about your attitude towards every aspect. This week isn’t over, and I need to conquer a couple of elements. The Nissan Van I bought is cool. I’ve been trying to get it

Hey, I apologize for not writing a Weekend Round-Up or posting a chapter about the Salt Torpedo. The week peeled away from me, and I had an ominous task on Wednesday. I had a VA hearing about my disability rating. Although it all worked out, we fucked up and didn’t do the correct homework. I

Hey, I feel a shift coming. In some respects, I hope it’s a shift in the direction of Freedom. I sense the whole Climate Change Doomsday hoax is going to crash. We are actually living in the best of times. Everything on the planet has improved for the better and we need to celebrate, not

Hey, This is a strange and wonderful week. Shit is happening fast. Shit is changing fast, and shit will go to hell quick if we all don’t get involved. I didn’t intend this to be doom and gloom, but it just spilled out as I wrote. It’s time we all joined a motorcycle rights group

  Hey, This is crazy, I spent three days in Austin, Texas, I saw Jesse James new shop, his projects and guns. He’s keeping the chopper faith and even restoring some of his old West Coast long choppers. His guns are amazing and he starts by forging his own steel. The guy is talented beyond

Hey, A PITCH FOR INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A GROWING POPULATION—I wake up with the craziest thoughts. I watched Chris Kristofferson’s documentary about the Past and the Future and of course Climate Change and Man. His experts contend that fossil fuels will be around for a long time. But he asks that we try to do something

Hey, Every morning I wake up, throw my long legs over the edge of our drooping bed and say, “It’s going to be an exciting day!”       Ever since dragging the Salt Torpedo back to the Bikernet Headquarters, we’ve been scrambling. Yesterday, we peeled the top of the new fiberglass body off of

Hey, What’s it going to be? I’ve just spent three days welding on the Salt torpedo and rattle can attacking parts for final assembly to begin this weekend. In a world gone insane with regulation you see that freedom still matters. In Missouri they are about to repeal the adult helmet law. I just read

Hey, What’s real, what’s hip, what’s it all about? We see it constantly around us. It’s one of the things I liked about being a biker. It was just me and my motorcycle. I wore what I wore for me and nobody else. Most of us looked like hell most of the time. Who cared? Okay,

Hey, It’s the 4th of July and I’m working on the news. Ah, but it’s Thursday. And we are celebrating the Declaration of Independence that we are all equal and deserve happiness. I watched a four-part documentary series called “Why Are We Here.” It was presented by a physicist and his documentary producing partner. They

Hey, It’s amazing, in a world gone nuts with regulation, one state is considering freedom. Check it out, in the news. Missouri has an adult helmet repeal in front of their Governor. Did you know about half of our states have adult freedom and in most cases free states have a better accident record than

Hey, What an interesting week. We are scrambling with the Salt Torpedo. I trying to outfit the new Bikernet Salt Flats Van for the trip to Bonneville. I’ve been in touch with various Easyriders contributors and now ex-staff members regarding the future. A few of us have been super-lucky to make a living in the

Hey, This has been one amazing week. I didn’t finish my Weekend Round-up because shit was moving fast. It’s still moving fast, and maybe not fast enough, but we will see. I started on the Weekend Round-Up for July 22nd, But never finished it. It’s nuts. My weeks don’t end. I try to make Friday

Hey, This is one of those mornings. I’m not sure which way to turn. It doesn’t really matter, any direction I go is damn exciting. I’m in the process of wiring the Salt Torpedo. I need to add three Daca vents to the liner, but the body is almost done for now. I will also

Hey, Everything is happening fast. The brothers at Bennett’s Performance headed to Bonneville at the crack of dawn. Sturgis is winding down and we’re waiting to hear reports from the front. Rogue made it to several events. He said the number of folks was strong, and although it rained cats-and-dogs on the way to the

Hey, I just finished a 36-episode series on the big questions of Philosophy by David Kyle Johnson Ph.d, King’s University. I never knew the actual meaning of philosophy until I watched this. This guy went to college to study religion and ended up a philosopher. I would like to know the story behind his shift.

  Hey, Here’s the recent challenge. A brother called the other day. He spoke to some kids recently and they had never heard of Arlen Ness. They were riders. We had an interesting discussion about the changing face of motorcycling. Of course, some kids don’t know the Beatles or Elvis Presley, so what’s new? I’m

  Hey, Imagine if the concept of life changed dramatically. With the advent of scienctific discoveries and studies, everything is changing rapidly regarding religion, philosophy and nature. It always blows me away, the more I learn the more motorcycling, custom motorcycling and choppers become pure bastions of freedom. According to science we are born, go

Hey, There’s been an on-going struggle to involve the motorcycle industry and all riders in motorcyclists rights forever. This week it heated up again. I’ve been in the middle of this effort several times. I’ll support the folks who keep us free forever. They are amazing. They are like the red cross for bikers. When

Hey, Yesterday was strange. I check in with the Climate Depot about once a week to see what’s happening. You’ll see below. The state of Washington has passed a bill initiating a green state with massive requirements and the end of fossil fuel use by 2045. I also ran across a report about the new

Hey, Why do I ponder this shit, but I do. It’s not as if my folks were industry leaders or politicians. I should smoke weed and relax, but no. So, what happens when we prove that Global Warming is a doomsday hoax? We’ve basically lost 20 years when we should have been thinking about the
