    Saw one bike on the road today...

    It was not real cold this morning, and I went out to take advantage of some deals in the stores. I was actually warm in the car and though "I'm surprised there aren't some brave soles out on their bikes for one last ride of the year". An hour later when I was taking the long way home from...

    Cheers man. .. It happened a few nights back. . I was taking a left bank off the highway and two cagers were doing less than the speed posted.

    Road Rage in the UK

    They sure do handle road rage a lot differently across the pond than here in the United States. Lots of foul language... watch it to the end. http://youtu.be/3jxQV3Umhr4

    Car and Driver 1964 road test

    I was still several years shy of legally driving when this was published, but I read the magazine every month, and when September came-around every year, I made my Dad take me to the local new car showrooms to see the latest cars. This was a real 'finger in the eye' to the imported cars of...

    Ian took his test today, and did a great job. He now is a licensed NY motorcycle operator. All he's got to do now is wait a week, and get his license amended to the "M" endorsement. However, in NY, the interim license he got after passing the test is totally a full license to ride... He's...

    found tools on the road

    How many of you "brake for lost tools?" I was on my way to work, & at the interstate intersection I saw a silver glint. I saw it was something substantial, and not a trash piece. Traffic was behind me, so I had to loop-around & come back through the intersection, checking for no traffic behind...

    Well I have it back together. My speedo is really slow to accelerate. It never did that before, cable isn't pinched and seems to spin freely. It does get to mph, but takes longer than it should. I ll try and take a video of it. I have a clunk in the front end when I hold the brakes and...
