Hey, I will make this quick. Just recently the MRF had a very successful Meeting of the Minds legislative conference in Harrisburg, PA. A couple of brothers were there to discuss ICE bans and End of Life regulations for old cars and motorcycles, Chris Callen from Cycle Source and Bob Kay helped out. There’s a […]

Hey, Another exciting week in the shop. A brother recently picked up a 1960 Panhead roller from a friend in Alaska. He asked Ron, the shop owner, to send him a Linkert carb, since he didn’t have one. This carb needed parts and a rebuild. What a challenge. Even the threads in the cast aluminum

Hey, It’s timely and maybe not. Life is so ironic even to an old grubby biker. On one side folks want to ban smoke. They are very afraid. On the same side they support terror and blowing up folks, which causes lots of smoke. It’s all nuts. It’s all the best of times in the

Hey, Here’s what we’re up against from one source, SEMA:Rhode Island Re-Opens Comment Period for Internal Combustion Engine BanUPDATE: Don’t Wait—Please Comment on New Mexico’s Proposed Clean Car PlanNew Jersey Set to Ban Internal Combustion EnginesAsk Your U.S. Representative to Support the CARS ActU.S. House of Representatives Passes Bill to Stop California’s ICE Vehicle BanEPA

Hey, We are living in strange times. Zero policies means endless regulation and absolutely no freedom. Think about it. Zero emissions would mean we quit breathing. It also means death to plant life. They need, we need CO2. Zero traffic deaths is virtually impossible. In one country, they immediately chose to ban motorcycles. Oops. This

Hey, As you know, I’ve pondered the issues, the war on smoke or fossil fuels for a while. I’ve studied the movement in our colleges to basically over-throw the government. Then last week I started to consider history. Hell, Greg Wrightstone from the CO2 Coalition just wrote a story about witches of the 1600s and

Hey, The motorcycle industry has a problem, but it also has the solution—if the family sticks together. We are under attack, but we also have a family of supporters lead by the Motorcycle Riders Foundation, which is now joined by NCOM, NCOCs, and the new IMA. Hell, maybe SEMA will step up. I could give

Hey, Here’s an odd thing to ponder. We’re being attacked from every direction. Your cars, motorcycles and way of life are under assault. The government is enticing people to invade our country and incentivizing them to bring fentanyl to kill our kids (100,000 a year). They are tearing our cities down and saying it’s a

Hey, I want to wish everyone the best Thanksgiving ever. We are actually living in the best of times. This next year could be the most comfortable and rewarding for the human race in the history of mankind. What the hell does that say for bikers? We are capable of riding all over the globe,

Hey, It’s been an interesting week, with the debates, the interview with Trump and the cancelation of the BMST event in Bonneville. Then there’s this image my son sent me this morning. We better hit the news. The Bikernet Weekly News is sponsored in part by companies who also dig Freedom including: Cycle Source Magazine,

Hey, A brother wrote to me this week. He wasn’t happy about our government’s policies.    My friend we are in trouble. Trump is likely the only one who can fix this, but I am not sure he is electable. None of the others can get us there–on either side My crystal ball says Biden

Hey, I ponder the theme for the news every week. Sometimes it’s a no-brainer, sometimes a celebration. This week I had a conversation with a brother regarding the state of our government and my move to the Black Hills of South Dakota. I’m very fortunate to be here and experiencing the freedom fresh from our

Hey, I’ve been an outspoken outlaw all my life. More than once, I’ve quit a great job because I didn’t like the direction of the ship. I jumped ship into a paddleboat and made my way into the future. Well, I’m still here and fighting the system for a better, respectful and free future. Let’s

Hey, I said it was the odd Bikernet Weekly news, because we are living in strange times, but there’s always hope. One of our major parties, not even a splinter group, is trying to destroy America. We are actually living in the Best of Times, and everyone has the opportunity to grow, build, learn, better

Hey, Brothers and sisters all over the world are on the road. It’s that time of year and the Sturgis motorcycle rally is coming up fast. Since most folks are on the road and not reading the news, I’m going to jump right into the action. The Bikernet Weekly News is sponsored in part by

   Hey, What an interesting day, week closing in on the Rally. I can’t wait. I’ve watched tents, displays, new signage sprout up all over the town of Sturgis. The 120th rocked Milwaukee a couple of weeks ago, and I’m trying to access whether the brothers are coming here and how the anniversary might impact

   Hey, My boss, Lou Kimzey once said, “The truth is stranger than fiction.” In other words, if folks in publishing actually wrote about what happened, no one would believe them. It’s not that you wouldn’t believe ‘em, but you would think WTF? That can’t be real… Never mind, it’s too strange to fathom. Okay,

Hey, I’ve spoken to any number of riders, industry members, locals, you name it about their take on the rally this year. All answers are different, but I believe this one was happening, jammed, exciting and alive. I started out asking brothers if they attended the 120th anniversary of Harley-Davidson to see if the celebration

Hey, The next couple of weeks will be damn interesting. First, my major focus will be all about Bonneville. We will peel out next Wednesday and be on the Salt for a week, which will impact the news hopefully in a positive way. The Bikernet News will be short and to the point. The next

Hey, Shit’s happening everywhere. Action is happening all over the country from the Black Hills to Born Free in Califa. Here’s my recent breakfast with fresh fruit available. It’s amazing with my second cup of coffee. Gotta wrap it up quick, shit to do. Bros are rolling into the Black Hills like crazy, maybe they

Hey, In today’s harried world, of projects and priorities, requirements and finances, most of us can only focus on this week’s list of to-dos and obligations. But there are brothers all over the world who are raising families, building bikes, making runs and supporting our freedoms to ride. I know a few. But we can

Hey, Today suddenly turned significant. The Prism gang reminded me that today marks the first day of the Harley 120th Homecoming. Then I heard that we might have a meeting with Senator Mike Rounds regarding our resolution with the Motorcycle Riders Foundation regarding Scientific Transparency. Let’s see how the day rolls out.
