Hey, Yale writes about this later in the news, but this has been a week of keeping your mind open and receptive to new knowledge and resources. Hell, I’ve been faced with a number of challenges with the shop. I’ve never lived anywhere where it gets -9 degrees in the morning. I’m learning the weather […]

Hey, We had spies at the Grand National Roadster Show, at the Barrett Jackson Auction and at the Mecum Auction. Most of the bidding came from online buyers. Prices went through the roof with a ’61 Bubble top Chevy going for $209,000. At Mecum a ’46 Indian Chief went for $75,000 and a ’47 for

Back in the ‘70s someone came up with the FUCK OFF T-shirt and it became massively popular. Brothers were pissed. It’s all nuts, but I’m pissed. I even have brothers ask me why I bother about CO2? If the doomsday crowd wins, we won’t ride choppers for long. One brother said I was radical right

Hey, We blasted out of Boulder Canyon between Deadwood and Sturgis, South Dakota at 4:00 in the morning last Friday. There was a deal on a 1948 ULH 80 Flathead Harley, the last year. An ex-longtime Paughco employee Steve H. was struggling and needed cash. We sought various options, but then the weather cleared, and

Hey, This should be interesting, but first I need my second cup of coffee. The shop is flying together, but weather is a constant factor. It might start to snow tonight or tomorrow. Jason’s crew is moving quick to build the exterior walls, add the trusses and roof. Once the exterior is in place we

Hey, Yesterday I met with one of my insurance agents in Sturgis. Life is complicated and insurance is nuts, but I suppose you must deal with it. Then we met with my shop building contractor for the final rundown on the bid. I know a couple of other teams like lowbrow who are building shops.

Hey, I’ve been telling friends in a joking manner that 2022 will be a much better year than 2021, “I promise.” That’s my optimism pouring forth. I believe it. I believe there is room for truth. I believe the media will open up and find balance. I believe we will correct our course for freedom

Hey, Another fascinating week in paradise. Folks write and text me about the weather in South Dakota constantly. It’s amazing, challenging and never dull. I tell friends from California, “It’s not cold unless you go outside naked, goddammit.” The Redhead watches the weather reports constantly. I watch for motorcycle parts and equipment for the new

Hey, What’s going on? If only I knew. Each week I scramble for progress on multiple fronts. The weather cleared last week, but our contractor was detailing a spec home, so it could slip into the multiple listings book for the world to see. Our trusses were delivered this week, but it snowed and the

Hey, Did you know motorcycle sales are up 13.7 percent above last year’s numbers. It’s amazing what’s happening in this world. Most of the motorcycle companies I know of are doing very well. What could it be? Folks are locked down. Fossil fuels and internal combustion vehicles are under attack due to Climate Fraud. Are

Hey, It’s been an exciting week. The weather in the Badlands has been amazing, so that means we’re getting shit done. The footings are poured for the shop. The foundation wall forms are going up today and the walls will be poured tomorrow. Hopefully, by this time next week the slab will be poured, and

  Hey, We all have so much to be thankful for this Holiday season. We have been lucky Mofo’s forever. Hell, young builders don’t even know how lucky they are to be able to score parts at a swap meet and go to work building a bike, unhampered by a myriad of government agencies. Ask

Hey, If you want total confusion about the motorcycle market read Robin Bradley’s piece on AMD about the state of the industry, or mostly Harley and Polaris. He touches on stock prices, semi-conductor stock, the crash of 2007 and mentions naughty and the environment. Hang on. For us custom, outlaw, chopper freaks, let’s see how the

Hey, The world is nuts. Did you see that Germany won’t sign the declaration to eliminate internal combustion vehicles? Yet, none of our internal combustion organizations or publications in the United States, like the AMA, Rider Magazine, SEMA, MRF, Dice Magazine, NCOM, Easyriders, NHRA, FEMA, Auto Club, MIC or the NMA will even question Climate

Hey, We are going to break ground on our shop project today. We have a couple of issues hanging over our heads that I won’t go into here, but our options are many. It’s another magnificent day here in Deadwood, South Dakota. The deer are cleaning the fields, the sky is amazing blue and clear

Hey, On Halloween the Glasgow Climate Conference will kick off with Mother Nature disguised as an SUV. And there will be large rooms full of folks claiming Doomsday. Here are the simple facts from the co2Coalition. Check it out. https://co2coalition.org/quiz/polar-bear-populations-are-in-decline/ If this wasn’t ridiculous, it would actually be funny. How many doomsdays have we experienced

Hey, Weekly I ask myself if I’m nuts and on the wrong track. I know lots of brothers and folks in the industry question Bikernet’s direction to research Man Made Climate Doom. They cringe and point. Some might quietly pray that I keep going and that what I profess is correct and man hasn’t caused

Hey, Interesting day in Paradise. I watched another movie by Ben Affleck and of course his character made a statement about how humans fucked with the planet. I know where this narrative comes from. It comes from extremist who want nothing less than pushing back the time clock to when we lived by a campfire,

Hey, What do you think? We’re headed directly into the magnificent Holidays. Sometimes I get depressed about what’s happening in America. But I need to remind myself of two things: This isn’t the first time, or will it be the last, and we are actually living in the absolute best of times. Think about it.

Hey, My son sent me a documentary about the Great Reset. I started to watch it, then stopped—too depressing. I called him and said, “If it’s going in that direction only one thing to do. Let’s Party! Actually, there are two things, fight back and let’s party, but no one wants to fight back, so

Hey, I wrote to the former President Trump about unity and bringing the country together. I’m all about progress, enlightenment and unity and not about blame. I guess, if anyone was going to seriously investigate our issues, they would be funneled in the direction of our media. So, I’m driving into Sturgis the other day

Hey, This is a wild day fulla project progress. Working on a stained-glass project for the front door, a house number plaque on the property with polished aluminum diamond plate and brass numbers. Will need to do some machining. The pipe pieces arrived to level-out the mantle. I received a bid on the shop for

Hey, This should be a good one. I’m working on my first stolen motorcycle story. I’m going to base the series in a saloon in Sundance, Wyoming, and I should drop a few shady episodes in Thermopolis and Worland where my Wyoming girl lived until she died of cancer. She worked in fields as a
