  Hey, I received a note from the MRF about a state trying to pass another helmet law. Over the last eight years we’ve seen a shift from a balanced approach to save everything. The notion that if one precious life could be saved we can torture thousands for years to prevent one death. Think […]

Hey, Almost each week has a vibe. This week it feels like a “Take Action” week. Lots going on with the Motorcycle Riders Foundation legislative action. The inauguration is approaching and you’ll see folks heading to Washington with several motorcycle groups. The V-Twin Dealer Show is heating up and you’ll see lots of EPA action.

Hey, Interesting times. Tomorrow the new President takes office. That will be interesting. Yesterday riders in Arizona defeated the proposed Helmet Law, so freedom was recognized. Next week, I’m heading to Cincinnati to the V-Twin Dealer show. I’m working on a seminar on EPA issues and showing a film called “Climate Hustle.” It basically points

Hey, Exciting times all around, to say the least. Tomorrow heading to the V-Twin show in Cincinnati to shake up the industry regarding EPA regs. A few months ago we asked the question: What if all of transportation had but a 13 percent impact on CO2? Is that a 13 percent impact on Global Warming

Hey, I just received a new C of O, or Certificate of Occupancy for the Bikernet Headquarters. For months I wondered whether armed officials would kick me out of my old building. Today, we wonder if our old motorcycles might be banned. We wonder if police will barge into our homes and search for guns.

Hey, I’m still trying to understand Facebook. We dodged it for a couple of years. That didn’t help Bikernet, but now we’re in the ring, punching it out. Someone in the industry recently said, “Don’t give ‘em content, just work the content you have through Facebook.” I’m still trying to understand what all the boxes

Hey, There are a couple of heated topics to discuss here. One is the monster in the garage. We could call it government over-reach, control freaks, freedom in trouble or the safety take-over. Everyday we hear about electric vehicles taking over the planet, we hear about global warming as if you could turn your chopper

Hey, I’m still catching up on sleep from Las Vegas Bikefest. I’m also in the process of constantly learning. I’m learning business, new technology and constantly on the search for more information regarding our freedoms to ride and build motorcycles. I’ve been after the EPA and CARB in California for several years purely from a

Hey, What if we proved all transportation vehicles have little effect on the climate and cows and agriculture has a much more devastating effect? What if we proved oil ain’t bad at all but killing animals is. What if we found out that the biggest element on the earth controlling weather and fixing our climate

  Hey, What’s our next move? 45 Years ago, the safetycrats hit us with helmet laws. It was a notion not to save lives, but to control the growing number of wild bikers. Many folks just accepted that helmets protect heads. What could be better? We proved differently on many fronts and helmet laws still

Hey, This is one of those days. We are scrambling in so many directions. If you’ve ever thought about advertising on Bikernet, this is the year, 2017. We’ve made a ton of changes and now Bikernet is mobile friendly. Our best benefit is the ability to share information often and forever. Two cute young girls

Hey, We need to stick together and never give up. There’s a lot of bullshit flying around this country, and I wonder if it’s because there are too many rats in the cage, so pandemonium ensues. Let’s hope not and work for Freedom, because it works. I have another mantra I’m pushing these days: Oil

  Wow, Was that election something? I’ve never seen two people or two staffs work so hard for America as Clinton and ultimately the new President, Trump. This was like three or four football seasons in a row. I gotta hand it to them. No race has ever been so hard fought. Let’s hope this

Hey, What if we could prove that global warming is a hoax, the climate is changing as it has for millions of years, but the man-made aspect is not the end-all. What if we could prove Oil isn’t the Bad Guy. What if a few grubby bikers, an old attorney and some young environmentalists could

Hey, I watched the 4th of July celebration at the Capital, amazing. We need a slice of this stuff once in a while to offset all the negative media. We do live in an amazing country, but why is it amazing? Because it’s the land of the Free and the home of the Brave. In

  Hey, There’s a secret. Another challenging week on the home front. I was told by the city to call for an inspection and they would arrive within 24 hours. I called on Monday. No one has called or come over, yet. Now, I could look at this from several perspectives. The Secret tells us

Hey, Interesting times in the motorcycle world. I wrote a book in the ‘90s about the future and banning motorcycles. It’s already happening. There’s a plot. We need to step up and fight for freedom. I’m also discovering much more to the climate change equation, what can be done and what is happening naturally. The

  Hey, Are you packing for Sturgis? It’s that time of the year to make our annual pilgrimage to the badlands. Along the road we finally have time to think without a myriad of distractions. Have you ever watched “Hell on Wheels?” It’s a wild series made in Calgary about building a railroad across the

Hey, I’m probably in Wyoming heading to Sturgis. The clan is taking over for me, while I’m on the road. Thanks to all the readers and staff who are holding it together, while I drink all the whiskey between Barstow and Deadwood. Gotta get there somehow. A big Indian is chasing me.   Ride Free

  Hey, Had an interesting experience dodging thunderstorms through Monument Valley, on our way to Sturgis. We pulled into Rawlings for gas and my riding partner was constantly looking for the best possible route. He would ask folks on the street, gas station attendants, waitresses, and for info on his cell phone. They all offered

Hey, It’s all nuts. I watched a documentary about the earth and our battles for and around water. The scientists in Greenland said they could not confirm or deny the naysayers about man’s impact on the climate. The water and ice levels have been consistent for 10,000 years. They also went onto explain how our

Hey, This is going to be a good one. A couple of news items bring up the issue of Freedom and how it works. We don’t realize how important the custom motorcycle culture is to our nation. I’ll try to explain. Biker’s Rights advocates have fought for helmet freedom for over 40 years. It’s worked
