Hey, I watched a documentary on the brain with some interesting test tricks. It spoke a lot about focus, and it also promised some surprising results and helpful hints at the end, but somehow it lost focus and ended. Yes, we have too many things fucking with our focus daily. And yes, there are companies […]

Hey, I’m not a big fan of social media efforts. What the hell do they mean? I’m lost on a facebook page. I don’t do Twitter, Linkedin, Instagram, or Pinterest. I criticize myself for dodging this crap. Friends and associates suggest I spend more time on these elements than on Bikernet. If I spent more

Hey, Readers unite. It’s interesting and challenging. Folks are hit with so many distractions, it’s tough to sit down and read an article from start to finish. Hell, I just bought an electric shaver. The directions are daunting. They follow me around daily screaming, “Read me, read me.” I read all day long, and when

Hey, Here’s an official Bikernet Survey question. Some companies in our aftermarket industry are kicking ass, while others are struggling. The question is why and what can they do? In a recent interview the MD of Daimler Benz (Mercedes Benz) said their competitors are no longer other car companies but Tesla (obvious), Google, Apple, Amazon

Hey, I had one of those super exciting days this week. Actually, the week was packed with twists and turns. The Easyriders magazine group stumbled, when it didn’t need to, and that was bothersome. Easyriders represented so much to so many of us for decades. It’s disturbing. It once represented honesty and a movement for

  Hey, Incredible, June 1, 2017, the year is half over. Hell, we just got started. Big events are headed our way, including the Smoke Out and Born Free. Hang on for Sturgis and Bonneville. It’s been an amazing week, and I’m not sure, which direction to turn. So much exciting shit is happening around

Hey, The mysteries of life abound. A scientist, years ago, did an experiment on human behavior. He showed two cards to a group of people and wanted to know what matched. One person was the subject, but the rest of the group were set up. The answer was obvious and at first the guy pointed

HEY, It’s Fathers Day this weekend, another goddamn holiday, when I would rather be in the shop working on my Sturgis Panhead. Builders all over the southland and around the country are scrambling to finish bikes for the Smoke Out, Born Free or another rockin’ show in their area. Sure, I want to honor my

Hey, Another day in Paradise. I’m itching all over. I’m forced to read more reports about the EPA attacks on business. I don’t get it, but I’m just an old biker. Why would anyone want to attack your neighbors, put stress on employees, put businesses out of biz, fine your brothers and sisters and destroy

Hey, This is a good one, full of adventure, changes, new products and excitement. The world is rocking once more.

Hey, Everyday is a mystery unfolding on small frontsand large fronts. It’s no wonder us merehumans have a tough time sorting the reality from thefalsehoods.  There is no real filter, no concrete source ofinformation, although seemingly the info is more at hand now than everbefore. A reader wrote recently about politics andBikernet. He wanted to separate

Hey, What the hell is going on? The weather is warming. New biker TV series are starting. Action is hot and heavy on every front. Bottom line everyone is hoping for a financial uptick or five. I refer to dancing in the streets–we need a shot in the arm. Big news is headed down the

Hey, The Redhead of Redheads was sick this morning. Easyriders finally announced their auction block effort to the public. Reactions are mixed. The government is trying to find its way and the rest of the world is at war. WTF? I say we let the readers own Easyriders and put the spirit and freedom back.

Hey, Bike Week Daytona kicks off tomorrow and I’m excited for the first time in a few years. The vibe has been uncertain and suddenly it’s strong and American again. The Biker’s Choice dealer show seemed strong and positive. We are working on a report right now. We will keep you informed as Bike Week

Hey, Today is a mix of wild news from Daytona to Los Angeles. Half the gang is in Daytona Beach kickin’ the sand. Some are planning for Arizona Bike Week next month. Others are making plans for the Smoke Out and I’m planning a run to 13 Palms to Dr. Hamster’s digs with some girls,

Hey, I try to listen to everyone and everything. Hell, I watch for animal body language. It’s one of those keys to life. If you are always on the alert you will stumble into more opportunities to make corrections and or to take advantage of small doors opening. This news went wild. Better get going…

Hey, I was jammed in traffic, and it dawned on me. If more folks rode motorcycles, they would have more fun commuting and get home way faster. What if the transportation gurus looked at extreme traffic and said can we take traffic off the roads? Can kids walk to school, if they went to community

Hey, I’m scrambling to ride out of town, sort out a business deal, help my grandson fix his Dyna, and get his FXR registered, make progress on my 1916 Sculpture project, write three articles, deal with accounting, feed the dogs, and what the hell did I do? I started to build another Harley. The Bikernet

Happy Thanksgiving, I’ve been waiting for months to write this. This year contained some tough obstacles, but we stepped up and conquered. I needed to finish what may be my last book. The City of Los Angeles attacked my building. I had to register my 2014 Indian—not easy in California with a 49-State model. I

  Hey, We have lots to report today, and I want to just let it fly. I spoke to Dr. Hamster, my best friend and brother recently. He’s a successful Chiropractor and recently decided to sorta move to the desert. Then his plan expanded to opening a series of treatment centers. He put himself in

Hey, On one hand life is nuts and frustrating, but on the other hand it can be completely nuts but inspiring. Today is a perfect example. Hopefully the mainstream media will ultimately get it. It’s about Climate Deniers. I’m not a scientist. I’m not a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, but the more I

Hey, We’re headed to the Yaffe Birthday Party in Morongo Casino tomorrow. More and more it’s a major fight just to get out of LA, but Jim Betlach, from the V-Twin Expo said the same about Minnesota. We have made some serious steps toward an anti-EPA regs strategy and more info flies at us daily.

Merry Christmas, Christmas can mean so much to so many of us. It can bring up the blues, hardships, wonderful family experiences, almost fantasy delights and religious warmth. I wish only the best holiday experiences for all the riders who read Bikernet. I have a pact with Dr. Hamster. We promised to cut bullshit out
