One rider’s sporadic thoughts on motorcycling and whatever else life throws at him.
We got up and rode down to the World Congress Center pretty early to avoid the rush. We arrived shortly after they opened the show Saturday at 9:30.
One of our first stops was the world’s fastest motorcycle.
The of course I had to get Jenny to try out the new 2007 BMW 650GS. This is a [...]
Yesterday was absolutely beautiful! A little windy at times, but beautiful riding weather just the same.
I headed north up I-575 which changed to Hwy 515 in Pickens County. At Ellijay I cut over on Hwy 52 and crossed Fort Mtn. over to Chatsworth, Georgia. The red line is the state line between Georgia and Tennessee.
In [...]
I would loved to have gone riding with the guys today. They were planning a trip over to Barber Museum in Alabama. As bad as I felt yesterday I tried my best to get the cables all finished up and adjusted. My garage looks like a bike exploded in there….parts everywhere.
Alas, I messed up again. [...]

I finally got the throttle cable linkage kit from Chicago BMW. BMW had upgraded the main throttle cable linkage setup at the grip and I had to remove the old linkage plastic parts and install the new, much simpler one. The old one had a thin plastic ring that went all the way around the [...]

It was very pleasant on Friday as we arrived and checked into the motel. Then we went [...]
One of my best friends died yesterday morning.
He and I had been friends since about 1996 and although I took him for granted and sometimes berated him at all hours of the night for being a nuisance and a pest, I really liked the little fella. His name was Judd and he was a mixed [...]
Started changing out those throttle cables yesterday.
I’m no mechanic but I can tinker until I get it fixed….or break it in the process. Either way I get results!:-)
I started taking things apart and laying out screws and parts in organized piles as they came off. I ordered the replacement cables from Chicago BMW a few [...]
We saw it coming the last two days. This icey, freezing rain and snow was upon this southerly place this morning. To my delight the county cancelled school today.
So what can I do? The bike sits idle, almost happy to be inside this morning. The sleet came down first in the wee hours then followed [...]
