One rider’s sporadic thoughts on motorcycling and whatever else life throws at him.
Last week I took a little jaunt on the new bike to visit my daughter and her kids in Virginia Beach. I left on Sunday just in time to miss the historical “flooding” of Atlanta 2009 on the following Monday. It DID rain on me as I exited Georgia that Sunday and continued to rain [...]
Taking a short break from this. I hate to disappoint my 2 readers but I’ll be back when I feel better.

I spent the afternoon Friday riding the extra 32 miles over to Rob’s house so he could look at my malfunctioning light switch on the Hella FF50s up front. He immediately found the problem and just put the correct terminals on the right tabs on the switch and it was good to go. The alternator [...]
Yeah, well, I have had some changes going on in my life the last few weeks and they necessitate moving things around a bit. My little N-Scale train layout table had to be moved out of its nesting place to accomodate space for art pieces and glass sheets. I’m getting the place set up to [...]
