    Today, I rode a Harley

    Demo day, I went out and tried a Switchback. I don't get it. There's millions of Harley riders and I don't intend to bug you but... Why? It vibrates like a bad 60's vibro bed, it's super slow, and it made me feel like I was going to drop it on a 90 degree intersection. Maybe you Harley peeps...

    Has your bike been been on TV/Movies?

    I was catching up on Hawaii 5-0 and watched as a bad guy jumped onto a bike in a museum exhibit (where all bikes are apparently fully fueled with the keys in them) in order to flee the good guys. It took a few seconds, (because the paint job was just wrong) but I realized it was a Concours14 -...

    Like riding in the USA? Want to pay more for it?

    http://www.canoe.ca/Travel/USA/2013/04/22/20761796.html Not sure if this would ever come to fruition, but I go at least once a month. This would stop me.

    Kennebunkport, Maine (ding ding!)

    So I've decided to head here: http://www.trolleymuseum.org/ I figure I've been to museums for bikes, cars, planes, trains, tanks - but here's another form of powered/wheeled transport I haven't been to. Plan on making it there in 2 days crossing NY, VE, NH - actually staying in NH for 3 nights...

    Spring Micro-trip - South East Coast USA.

    I'm planning to do the following little circle for a week in May: Crossing at Sarnia, down thru the nasty Detroit/Toledo area, cruising down to WV and on to Myrtle Beach. Stopping there for a couple of days of (what I hope to be) reasonably warm days on which to unwind on the beach with a deck...

    Got Touring Plans for 2012?

    I've been saving up all my pennies, and I think I'm ready to take the plunge in Europe! Namely this (before the world ends in December :tongue: ): https://www.edelweissbike.com/en/allTours/true/cont/eur/best-of-europe.html Even though that's going to cost me most of my travel funds for 2012, I...

    Ghost Rider:Spirit of Vengeance - The Flaming One goes all Yamaha

    Yes, your favourite Hero from Hell has switched from a custom H-D to a V-Max in his next movie. I think he was ticked that not a lot of people liked his first movie, so he's definitely looking more bad-*** in this trailer... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1071875/

    Lake Superior circumnavigation

    For my last long jaunt of 2011, I was going to circle Lake Superior. I searched for Superior in the threads and found some comments that the south (USA) side is boring. However, didn't see any reasons why the authors said it was. Frankly I don't find any place that I've never been before to be...

    Someone's bike is in peril while parked - what to do?

    First of all, I admit my ignorance and flaming me will only make me laugh. Yesterday I rode into a parking lot at a hotel. There were a lot of other bikes there too, and all of them had set up a parking "puck" under their kickstands, because it was hot and the pavement was questionable. Now I...

    Ring Around The Erie

    Ring Around The Erie + mini Ride Report Yikes, I didn't realize the August long weekend was coming up so fast! I think I will be doing this (first big ferry ride): which will get me some views of the rolling hills like this and, of course, a top case full of cherry coke and bourbon to...

    Barber Museum in Alabama - amazing!

    There are more motorcycles here than I could count! We were at this museum for about 5 hours, and we probably didn't see everything. If you're interested in the history of bikes, then you can't miss this place. We were able to leave the hotel at 8am and do the Cherohala Skyway and the Dragon...
