    Indian Chieftain Demo Ride

    A local dealer just took on Indians and was offering test rides last weekend. I declined since most of my riding is done on lighter machines and I was pretty sure I wouldn't like the size and handling of the Indian. However, I'm glad Polaris picked up the brand; seems to me they stand a better...

    Unwelcome guest

    Peanut butter is what I have been using, thought it was working pretty well from the body count of the little pests. Maybe I'll bait a couple traps with pieces of Yamaha air cleaner, should have all the bases covered then...

    Unwelcome guest

    Got my new air filter in the mail today, so I decided to finish up the spring maintenance on the Feej. Good thing I wasn't counting on reusing the old one; seems I had an unwelcome guest in the airbox over the winter. When I pulled the housing off, I found this: Who'da thunk Yamaha plastic...

    Checking out the G

    It's nice to have the time to do every last bit of maintenance on all four bikes and not have to hurry or postpone anything due to lack of time. You'll love the Laurel Highlands of PA; the parts I've ridden were great roads, no traffic, and beautiful scenery. I've had the G since 2002, I adapted...

    BRP Closure

    Good info, thanks for the heads up. Been considering a spring ride on the Parkway myself around the end of May. Should be an easy detour in that location.

    Checking out the G

    Weather in these parts has been ideal for doing spring maintenance on the bikes (as well as riding). I finished up the two Suzukis and decided to take the GSX1100G for a test run today. Sunny and mid 60s, looked like that chore might take a while. Headed north toward south central PA, been my...

    Antilock brakes on a motorcycle = awesome!

    Used your method the other day when changing brake and clutch fluids and installing speed bleeders in the garage for spring maintenance. Worked great, nice to know my ABS is working. Cussed the plug in the test socket, but a few minutes with an o ring pick with a 90 degree point solved that...

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Perfect weather here today, 50s to low 60s and sunny. Got to do 100 miles of back roads. Not much blooming at the higher elevations but the lawns are greening up and trees have the early light green hue. Some redbud on Little Round Top in Gettysburg

    Do I Really Need Motorcycle Boots?

    I've had two occasions (kamikaze forest rat and hit from behind) that my lower leg was pinned to the blacktop by a hot motorcycle exhaust. Both times, I was glad to have the protection of dedicated motorcycle boots with armored shanks.

    Glad you were able to walk away from that one, sorry about your bike. Hope the repairs/replacement goes without any problems.

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Been nice here lately, calling for rain tonight. Did another 200 mile loop through south central PA yesterday, some old favorites and explored some new roads. Starting to get green in the lower areas. PA 475 and Plum Hollow Rd. at Clear Ridge, PA: Enid Mountain Rd.: Only remaining snow is...

    Radiohowie is BACK after 2 months gone!

    Glad you lived through that to tell about it, sounds like it was a really close call. I hope you have a complete recovery with no permanent complications. Hope you find a buyer for your bike that appreciates it as much as you have.

    road gremlin bell

    Back in 2005, the owner that organized the Madura rally in Boyer, WV handed out bells to all who attended. I fastened mine to the bottom of the radiator guard, where it has remained since. I left it there out of respect and thanks for the thought and effort shown by the giver - it definitely...

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Great weather here, 60s, clouds to sun. Did a loop up through some favorite PA roads and explored a few new ones. Had a quick stop for coffee and enjoyed a nice view from Clear Ridge Rd.

    Cross Dressing

    Some years back, I pulled into the Crossroads of Time on my GSX1100G. Pete Leary had a good time ribbing me for wearing a Gold Wing belt buckle while riding a Suzook. Only excuse I could offer was I got dressed before my first cup of coffee.
