  Hey, Here we go. This is one of those days. I’m not sure where to start. I’m excited and tenuous. This year put me in the middle of a whirlwind. I was attempting to finish my most recent book. It’s a crossroads endeavor. I want it to be the best book I ever wrote, […]

Hey, I’m off to see the Wizard. We, and that includes you, are off to see what new technology can do for Bikernet. As you saw the old landing page is gone and shortly many more changes will unfold. Some of the changes you won’t even see, but they will be rocking the world of

Hey, It’s never a dull moment around the headquarters. This seems to be a week of innovation and new product testing. Never give up should be everyone’s mantra in life. Never give up on your health, your relationships, your education and your motorcycle. I’ve been challenged by a particular motorcycle. It’s never run right. I

  Hey, This week has been beyond interesting. All the bottom line goals were almost realized. I talked about Not Giving Up, and you can’t. This week held examples. I believe Phil, from Phil’s Speed Shop in Orange County inspired me to find the solution to a 4-year challenge. My Crazy Horse, now V-Plus 100-inch

Hey, This has been a fascinating week. I could say it was a challenge. I could also say it was fucked. But I try to keep a constant positive attitude and my goals at the forefront of every effort. Let’s get specific. I had another meeting with the City of Los Angeles regarding my building.

Hey, I’ve discussed not giving up on anything, including the 5-Ball factory racer, and I’ve seen success. I went to Zack’s houseboat last weekend and we talked about motorcycles and chasing mechanical problems. A small electrical glitch in the headlight triggered his circuit breaker and killed the bike. I’ll dig into my headlight. You never

Hey, This week was packed with major accomplishments on all fronts, and it’s not over yet. I believe we made major strides on our building. We now have a Certificate of Occupancy in the works. I refined the breather on my bottlecap engine, replaced the plugs and ordered a new headlight sealed beam. Another test

  Hey,We are living through interesting times. Folks are cut up in the streets of the middle-east while bombs blow up their homes and we have folks right here who want to pass quiet zone regulations to enhance the quality of life. Since when was rock and roll not part of our quality of life,

Hey, Born Free is all the action afoot in Los Angeles. There are two maybe three pre-parties tonight. Mike Lichter is staying at the Bikernet Headquarter while covering all the action he can handle for Easyriders. Markus Cuff is catching some action for Cycle Source, and Bikernet. Hell, I can’t keep all this shit straight,

  Hey,We are fighting the EPA over performance products for motorcycles and cars. Drag Specialties was forced to remove 280 part numbers from their catalogs due to fines from the Air Resources Board in California. Folks have told me there’s nothing we can do. We will be regulated, so just deal with it. That’s funny

Hey, I’m more excited than I have been in awhile about a couple of things. Life is just so fuckin’ interesting. You can bang along, but if you keep your eyes and mind open, answers will come. I’ve been concerned about Bikernet’s growth for a couple of years. I’ve researched, drawn on the knowledge of

Hey, Interesting week in paradise. It’s warming, the girls look better in skimpier clothes. Daytona action is in full swing. Life is nuts and hauling ass. I’m going to dive into the news while pondering my next move. We’re shooting a promo reel for the new Biker-Build-off series in our vast and unrelenting Bikernet Nerve

Hey, This news is action-packed and the Bikernet Headquarters are action central. We are still grappling with the city, filling out another form for consideration by the high command. An attorney told me today, “It’s common for them to target an area of interest and start with real or imagined code violations. It’s likely the

Hey, I’ve noticed and was challenged by a trend of late. I spotted shops selling their wares using words like culture, markets, millennia, art, and such. There’s something strange about those words to some of us old bikers. We were in the game because we loved it, found the romance, adventure, and intrigue in the

Hey, I’m confused today. A brother of mine reminded me of his mantra, “We are facing constant and expanding regulation. We need to adapt to it.” I can’t. Maybe I’m not bright enough to read all the daunting fine print. Here’s a terrible example of government deliberate confusion. In Newport Beach, California you must go

Hey, Wow, there’s so much flying at us I can’t seem to focus. Let’s just jump into the news and see where it leads us. The Bikernet Weekly News is sponsored in part by Cycle Source Magazine, Iron Trader, and Chopper Town.     ARIZONA BIKE WEEK COMING SOON BUT THE ULTIMATE MOTORCYCLE SHOW IS

Hey, Hang on for this news. The world may be in turmoil and our government forgot their mission to honor freedom, but we’re still having a blast everyday and keeping the Code of the West alive. Folks reach out to us for jobs constantly. We must be doing something right. As magazines slip away we

Hey, This is proof the world is nuts. The Panama Papers proved that I have no money in any offshore accounts or even here. Have you seen the documentary on Netflix about the Ukraine in 2013 and the kids fighting for freedom. That was just three years ago and they lost lotsa lives fighting the

Hey, About Freedom. We seem to live in a society admonishing Freedom as a thing of the past. I had a conversation with Dennis Manning. The EPA told him point blank that they are controlling everything that rolls, and ultimately custom motorcycles had to be apart of the mix. So, why isn’t it the other

Hey, I don’t know about you, but this holiday season seems to be slipping rapidly past. What the hell is happening? Maybe it’s all the social media distractions, or 500 TV channels, Terrorists and world upheaval, the 2016 elections, too many events, or who knows? Hell, this weekend the Mooneyes Xmas party rocks SoCal, and

Bikernet brings you Holiday cheer on the eve of all the action. I was just released from the hospital today, so it’s going to be short and stumbling. I can’t wait to feel like a human being again. There’s a whole lot of action to cover. I can’t wait to see our K-Model flathead 45

Hey, It’s been a testing year for the Bikernet crew. We’ve made significant strides in some areas and stumbled in others. We changed up the Cantina, but that didn’t work. We reverted back to the old program working with Jack McIntyre and we are back on schedule. We started new programs with Cycle Source and
