One rider’s sporadic thoughts on motorcycling and whatever else life throws at him.
I have wanted to go back to Cedar Key ever since I visited there for dinner one night back in 1980. I told Jenny we would plan our annual weekend beach getaway to that area this year. Last weekend we took off from a very rainy and cold Atlanta early Friday morning.
We made it to [...]
I finally got to a point working on the bike where I had to stop and wait on a couple of parts I ordered, and the starter rebuild. With that lull in the action, Jenny and I took off Friday morning for Cedar Key, Florida where we spent a couple of wonderful days. I took [...]
I started reading Dan Walsh’s column in Motorcyclist Magazine some time back. Then there was this little snafu, something about Dan using..ahem…dirty words. I personally wasn’t offended by the colorful prose Dan used. It actually made the articles that much more interesting, and well, real to me.
The last thing concerning Dan that I read in [...]
Yes, every day brings me closer to a renewed and whole motorcycle once again. I have to wait on a rear frame bolt and some metal fuel quick disconnects, and as soon as they get here I can tighten down the frame and start reattaching more parts.
I still have to put the new fuel filter [...]
Monday was a baaad day! I got deeper and deeper involved in that frame bolt than I ever want to be involved with a piece of hardware again. In fact I had given up doing it myself.
Tuesday morning I got up and saw an email from my friend and mechical guru across town who said [...]
This maintenance project on my bike has gone from shit to shit sewer. Part of it is that I’m just so tired and I keep screwing up things. Now I have a broken fuel injector line. I can’t get the damn frame bolt out…Hell, it won’t even drill out. I can’t find a drill bit [...]
Yep! I got up this morning and proceeded to tear down my baby so I could do the needed maintenance and replace old parts.
I got the front shock finally replaced as the day ended. I put on a Rockster front shock with 10K miles on it. Its a tad shorter than stock but we’ll see [...]
It sure is nice to be able to cough and have some congestion loosen up and dislodge from its position deep down in my “goozle”. I tell you, I thought I was a goner fer sure about Saturday night, and I have never slept so much as I did during those 5 days.
The codeine laced [...]
I have only one word to say…
CODEINE
The symptoms came and went. In the morning I felt better…incrementally better each morning…however as evening approached it was back on me with a vengeance. Today I’m again out sick and did not go to work. My head now feels like its full of cotton.
I’m going to see the doctor finally. My appointment is at [...]
