Hey, We won’t produce a news column this week. It’s pandemonium on the Streets of the biggest, baddest motorcycle rally in the world. There’s more to do in the rolling Black Hills than you can shake a dozen sticks at. There are demo rides from every manufacturer, every product on the planet is represented, racing everywhere, parties, 50 concerts, the girls, the custom motorcycle shows, the rides in the region are magnificent, Hillclimbs, the brotherhood, the freedom fighters, the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum and every year the Buffalo Chip extravaganza. Of course, what did the Bikernet crew do? They bought a building right on Main Street in downtown Sturgis and called it Bandit’s 5-Ball Emporium. Then all hell broke loose. We invited Danial James the accomplished artist and creator to display his Art. He has helped Scott Jacobs and his family for over 20 years. Before that he was David Uhl’s partner for 27 years. Throughout this week we learned so much. Danial James created the Scott Jacob’s logo and David Uhl’s Logo. Well, he’s going to create the Friends of the Museum Logo. Hang on as we roll into the coming year with Danial’s magnificent art in Bandit’s 5-Ball Emporium. And don’t miss the Bikernet Weekly News next Thursday. It will be a monster. Then plans for preparations will be all about heading to BMST in Bonneville, the last week in August. Ride Fast and Free Forever, –Bandit * * * The post Mystery of Where is the Thursday News August 08, 2024 appeared first on Bikernet Blog - Online Biker Magazine.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) – A Tennessee Bureau of Investigation bust has led to more than a dozen people being charged for operating a drug trafficking ring in Knox County, according to TBI Director David Rausch. It all has to do with an investigation that began in December of last year into Pagan’s Motorcycle Club, Rausch said. He spoke on the TBI’s latest efforts Thursday, giving a heated description of the motorcycle gang. “They try to downplay their behavior by calling themselves a club,” Rausch said. “They are nothing more than a criminal organization made up of cowards and thugs.” Past reporting from WVLT shows that Pagan’s Motorcycle Club has a history of crime in the Knoxville area. In 2022, Knoxville police investigated a shooting between members of Pagan’s and another gang.
