Hey, It seems like the pressure is on. The rally is just around the corner and the projects and commitments are piling up and then there is Bonneville. I’m on it even today. I try to commit Thursdays to just the News, but then other shit slips into the fray. Today, I will try to […]

Hey, The truth is everything. I scrambled out of bed a 6:24 this morning. My mission, to complete the Bikernet Weekly News always with hope for the future of America and Freedom. So, what hit me immediately as I opened the email world? The Real Story of January 6, an Epoch Times documentary, reveals the

Hey, My grandson just experienced his first rally vendor effort in Southern California. He’s 28 and went to fantastic efforts to build a cool booth, man it and display a large inventory of leathers for sale. Yesterday, his dad asked him if he wanted to set up a booth at the Sturgis Rally in a

Hey, We are flying through this year. Every Monday, I tell the redhead, “Hang on. This week will be exciting, and it is.”   Be upbeat or die trying. Or find a new girl, an open road and a bottle of whiskey. It’s all going to work out, I swear. Let’s hit the news.  The

Hey, This could be a magnificent day in the hood. As you will see in the news, my conundrum from last week may have been addressed. I’m on pins and needles. Buck Lovell shot the Pandemic for a Cycle Source feature this week, and I wrote a story for Micah’s feature in Choppers Magazine. Magazines

I’m in a conundrum, which means a mystery, a challenge or a questioning problem. I’ve been pushing against the Climate Doom mantra for a decade. Even guys in the industry look at me like I’m nuts to fight it. Motorcycle rights groups won’t ask senators for scientific transparency. Okay, from time to time I want

Hey, Life for a biker is a wonderful thing, primarily because of the brotherhood. Whether it’s club brothers, same brand brothers, two-wheeled brothers, it’s a special band of brothers. I had dinner last night with two other brothers and their wives, who have been a part of this industry for over 50 years apiece and

Hey, This is a tough one and I don’t get it, but maybe I do. I say I do because political control is alluring for politicians, but usually leads to devastation. I’ll back up some. I wrote a forward for my book about Terry the Tramp, the 27-year boss of the Vagos MC. He took

Hey, I had a conversation with one of the most respected guys in our industry yesterday. I won’t mention his name or current affiliation. During his recent duties as a photographer and writer he’s struggled with his understanding of what’s PC or required. We are living in interesting times, but when we are faced with

Hey, Memorial day has always been the summer kick-off party. But in a sense, it’s the ultimate freedom weekend. We are truly honoring the folks who died for freedom. The notion of freedom is being challenged right now in this country and other countries around the world. As a country we’ve made mistakes, but freedom

Hey, As you know life is nuts and has been headed downhill fast. When I’m forced to sit and ponder this American trial, I come to one major conclusion: Leadership. We need leadership, but we don’t need just political leadership. We need media leadership and this news item popped onto the screen today. Sounded like

Hey, Life is nuts, but we’re living in the best of times, except for Ukraine and Covid. Think about your phone, your car, all the technology to keep us safe and going to the next wild event. We look around the world at all the bad shit, and wonder why anyone bothers with the bullshit,

Hey, Talk about a major issue facing our lives currently and in some respects being shoved down our throats. Most of the industry is just plain scared to even ask about the issue. Some of the industry and even rights organizations are being bullied by environmental groups. See the story from Alex in the news.

Hey, Life is amazing, treacherous, full of love and hate. This year is a tremendous example of our many plights from Covid to the Ukraine. I’m watching a documentary series called the Butterfly Effect. It’s about the turning points in Man’s history and how each one effected societies, countries and the world. If you have

Hey, What an interesting news day. We have a devastating war going on, and Martha is working on the catering service for the next meeting of world leaders to discuss banning Russian players from joining the NFL. This distinct and delicate meeting will happen while old women and children are being annihilated on the streets

Hey, We are living in strange times to say the least. I had a discussion with the leader of a major vehicle organization regarding Climate Doom and Scientific Transparency. He wouldn’t go there with his organization. “Some of my members will get upset.” I told him two things: “I’m just asking for Scientific Transparency, the

Hey, Is life nuts or what? We have a war in Europe. The UN is at war with humanity. They want to convince us that we’re doomed. Some media sources won’t allow scientific transparency, yet they must be aware that their political beliefs are breaking down. So, why all the conflict now? I don’t have

Hey, I watched “Ukraine on Fire” last night, a documentary recommended by Sean Penn. For 92 days the people of Ukraine fought their own government in the streets of Kyiv to force their Russian dictator to leave. This took place from 2007 to 2019. The whole Parliament voted for the dictator until the people threw

Hey, Another interesting day in Paradise.They finally found the time and the weather to pour the concrete slab in the shop. Then we almost ran into a community issue. Outlaws and citizens don’t always mix or never do. What is it? One day it was winter, then someone threw a switch, the temps jumped 40

Hey, This is going to get strange as if it isn’t already. You would think we would be done with Wars, but not so Kemosabe. Although, I have a flash. A Ukrainian cease-fire is being discussed. Wait, Putin says no. Also strange in March are several discoveries by my strange self. Yesterday was my Birthday.

Hey, MAMA TRIED happened last week and the motorcycle world fled to Daytona Beach for bike week as the Ukraine is under fire. The world is in turmoil, our country is lost but the brothers know how to party. Watch for reports on Bikernet. In the meantime, the Bikernet War Room is a buzz of

Hey, Human nature is amazing. We are surrounded by war, petulance, disease, doom, destruction and division, but we keep cooking, building cool shit, and heading to the latest event. Mama Tried is happening after Covid fucked with it for a year or two. Daytona is going to be hot.   Brothers including Jason Mook from

Hey, It seems odd to say there’s hope, when Russia is bombing the Ukraine and my son called and said, “It’s WWIII pops.” Truckers are rolling toward Washington D.C. in protest. One of their goals could be respect for Fossil Fuels and demand an end to Climate Doom. Science is never settled. Let’s hope for

Hey,   Monday was nuts, meeting with neighbor, contractor, Wolf plumbing came to run the gas line plumbing, Hamsters involved, Reznor shop heater installed, we bought a new gas stove, a LG at Lowes, next Monday they are delivering the propane tank.   Cabana Dan, another Hamster is back from St. Louis where he met
