    Motorcycle adventure riding books

    I`ve no idea where you can find a copy, but, "Racer.. the Gary Nixon story". By Joe Scalzo I believe, I`ve had mine forever. I met Nixon and his tuner Erv Kanemoto at Mosport, probably `76 or so. He was on a TZ750, likely the OW31 variant. There that weekend also was Gene Romero aboard a TZ750...

    Prostate cancer update....

    It`s the only way to go. I actually cancelled my first appointment for my prostate biopsy. I`d built up big anxiety and trepidation and bailed out. The thought of getting a needle/freezing up the hoop, followed by some little pickle grabber thing :eek: taking tiny bites out of my prostate in a...

    Prostate cancer update....

    That explains my puzzled look when they handed me the squeeze mustard. I got 4 blue dot tattoos, positioning markers, to ensure accuracy with the external beam radiation circular ray gun. One above my navel, another mid groin and one on each hip, line `em up and zap away. The treatment took...

    Prostate cancer update....

    Well played. Prostate cancer is nothing to die of embarrassment about, lots of men just don`t want to do it. Ya gotta` wonder...we have x-rays, CT scans, MRI`s and Ultrasound yet the DRE is king.

    Prostate cancer update....

    There`s lots of variables with prostate cancer. A percentage of men do die with it but not from it, mostly at a well advanced age. If it metastasizes, spreads to other parts of your body, as would have happened to me,....you`re in serious trouble. Get checked is right, like a .50 cal. machine...

    Prostate cancer update....

    ...had my annual sit down with my radiation oncologist last Monday at Durham Cancer Center/Lakeridge, bloodwork done 2 weeks prior. All is good five years on. I`ve mentioned I was diagnosed in Aug. of `20, had brachytherapy and 15 external beam radiation treatments a few months following...

    Not sure how i feel

    Once Upon A Tyme, I was a young loon lusting after someone`s daughters. I oddly never rode as such with any passenger, the OP should be more concerned about an unwanted pregnancy IMO. 🙃 I did know a guy who was real close friends with another guys wife however. He crashed his 500 Kawi H1, late...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Checked over my 3 Honda blowers yesterday, no not that V-3 electric supercharged bike on the show circuit. A 520,720, and the big 724. Let`s hope this winter isn`t a repeat of last year, we got clobbered.

    2026 Harley

    Nope... the 500 is gone. I had it from new in`85 and sold it to a guy who was rabid for one in`18. It was very difficult for me to ride with my back, hips, knees and hand issues. I`m currently on a Z900 Kawi but am even finding it a little cramped, great bike though, serious grunt, light...

    I like that truck, care to report on the ownership experience to date?

    2026 Harley

    I`ve always liked the looks of the DesertX, elemental and basic purpose, Maybe `cause it reminds me of the great ole DT250 or XL250. How`s your owner experience with yours? BTW...see any articles and pics of the just out BMW F450 GS ? I think they`ve got a hit.

    2026 Harley

    That`s for sure a `26 Heritage paint job. They have a sh*t ton of modern tech on them but retain the classic style, the average buyers age must be around 50+. I don`t know how they get away from the jam they`re in, I thought the Pan-Am series might have turned things somewhat but dealers have...

    Waterloo Warbirds open house

    I know a woman who`s dad was a tail gunner in a Lancaster, balls of steel on those aircrew. I flew in the nose of the B17 "Sentimental Journey" a few years ago, out of Peterborough. Incredible...it was about 1/4 of the price of the Lanc. I`d say the B17 was the biggest contributor with the day...

    2026 Harley

    For an additional $1050 on that Heritage model. They do have a decent rider safety enhancements package however...$$. Lotsa` paint options too for a pile more coin.

    Anyone else becoming more reclusive?

    I`ve heard numerous psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health professionals discuss people with actual psychosis, a break from reality, from social media use. Teenage girls talking suicide if their phone was taken from them.. for real. Rampant levels of anxiety and depression from...
