One rider’s sporadic thoughts on motorcycling and whatever else life throws at him.
Yeppers! I keep getting these little PMs and emails and notices that someone has subscribed to the announcement post at the MOGA forum. Looks like we have a quorum!
At least 4 R1150Rs and a K1200GT with a couple of R1200GSs thrown in. Get to meet and greet new people and visit with a couple of [...]
Yesterday I got a call from a buddy of mine who moved down here to Georgia last year from one of those states up there above the Mason Dixon line. “Hey Phil!” he says. “How’d you like to ride with me and Vann to Deal’s Gap Saturday morning?”
And so the gig is on.
I posted on [...]
Just added another link to my Blogroll. This was an extraordinary ride by Pete, logging over 10,000 miles and riding for 40 days. Chronicled in words (blog style) and photos to come. Check it out!
I’ve discovered geocaching. I know, I know, it’s a little odd, but it appeals to me to go off with my GPS looking for treasures in hidden places. The ‘little boy’ in me I guess.
Sparky wants to join me on my searches through the local parks so I think we may make it a two-up [...]
Just in case my vast readership hasn’t noticed, yesterday I started posting my old rides from the last 3 or 4 years. There is a separate “Rides” page over in the right sidebar you can click on, to then link to the separate rides. So far I only have posted my 2003 ride out west [...]
Cranky here! Well, dang it, I just get comfortable and someone tells me I need to make a damn post! OH! Let’s see….Yeah, now I know wha….
Rumor has it the first installment of the Scam & Cranky comic adventures is in the works. Our ole buddy Phil hinted that he was going to divulge one [...]
The last couple of days off before going back to work on Monday have been mostly just resting. We did get outside a little yesterday and today working on the side yard some. Just about have it leveled for the flower bed and stone walkway preps.
Ventured out to an arts and crafts fair today in [...]
I got up at 5:15 on Wednesday morning, anxious to get the day started, and on to my Iron Butt quest. My wife got up as well and made me a nice breakfast of hot oatmeal and toast with milk. It was cool outside so I wore my Tourmaster rain pants over my Draggin Jeans [...]
I’ll reveal more grisly details later, but I just wanted to note that I DID indeed complete the Iron Butt rides (SaddleSore 1000 and the BunBurner 1500) as planned, and just arrived home this afternoon around 4:15. A good two hours ahead of the time deadline!
As I said, details later, but just as a ‘teaser’. [...]
Ran down to the hardware store to pick up the necessary bolts and washer and nuts to make this bracket and attach it. Finally finished all the screwing, drilling, measuring, cutting, bending and cussing. Yahoo! It fits. No more little annoying rumble from beneath me as I ride along.
