    Wasn't Budweiser originally a Czech beer before its pale, tasteless imitation was brewed in the US?

    Cautionary Tales about Seth Laam!

    LOL! Ivan Rovinsky is one of the most brilliant and generous motorcycle mechanics on the planet, especially since he's not that far away. I'll give him business when I can every chance I can. He's walked me through FZ1 problems when I was 1000 miles away in the Bahamas. He's still eccentric...

    Am I Spoiled by the FJR?

    "Am I Spoiled by the FJR?" Yes. Enjoy and don't worry about it! In my totally UN-biased opinion... .... the FJR is one of the two best street bikes ever. The other is, of course the Gen-1 FZ1. Despite the fact that those are the 2 bikes I own, I'm TOTALLY unbiased..

    Cautionary Tales about Seth Laam!

    What is it about MC after-market suppliers and tweakers that makes them so eccentric? Day-Long Corbin Dale Walker's Hole Shot Gerbing Ivan Rovinsky--Ivan's Performance Products just to name a few...all eccentric.

    Have you tried Italian beer? It might give that Korea panther piss a run for its money. Then, of course, there was Genesee Beer. The Cream Ale wasn't good but it wasn't poison. The beer? In the white can with the red oval? The Curse of the Southern Tier! HORRIBLE, hangover-making! It was so...

    Goodbye Arai, Hello Shoei

    I always have liked Shoeis but I generally like Italian helmets more. They just seem to fit better. I have two Nolans now, and liked AGVs. The one helmet I truly hated was, surprisingly an Arai. I found it to be an over-priced, poorly made, and fell apart quickly. Glad when THAT helmet's...

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    5 F here this morning.Going to get some cold weather next few days. About 22 years ago we lived in what passes for mountains in NJ, but it's a lot colder up there! At one point, we had over 3" of ice on the driveway and my pickup was in 4WD virtually all the time. One night it went down to...

    Best Place To Retire Early

    Most people in most places don't like it if you look down at them and are condescending, even in places nobody in their right mind would want to live. This is why we in New Jersey resent many New Yorkers.

    FJR on gravel and fire roads

    I have nightmares about riding on trails like that where the bike gets bogged down, runs out of trail with no way to turn around, or goes down in such muck I can't get it back up again! I wonder what country that was in. It's not Japan, I don't think, but it could be Thailand, or Malyasia.

    (Possibly) MC Related Vascular Condition

    Last year, I read that the archetypical new Corvette owner was a 59 year old White guy. Being 59 and White, and a guy, I didn't want to be THAT guy, so I bought a pickup instead!

    Proper Riding Gear

    Wouldn't it make more sense to hang the rifle over the saddle horn on the right side, first, BEFORE mounting from the left? Otherwise it looks like she might slip and shoot either the horse or herself in the ***!!! Just wonderin......

    RIP, Alan! If you notice the hair on the top of your head getting thinner, take heart! You're getting taller and your head's peeking through your hair!

    31st wedding anniversary

    Wow! Big Sky's story and mine are almost the same! I turned 30 in the summer of '85 and met my wife then. By that fall, we both knew it was for the long haul. Because of simple logistics (like not living in the same state), we couldn't get married for almost 2 years but we've been a couple...

    Best Place To Retire Early

    I've been surprised at how much better NJ is as a place to live than I imagined. Been here 23 years now when we moved back North, and it has its ups and downs. Taxes, especially property taxes ARE high but our local schools are among the best, so it's good for my kids. There are parts of NJ...

    2016 NFL Playoffs & Superbowl

    Well! I'm relieved you don't tout Butt-wiper! I don't like fruit-flavored brews. If I want fruit in my beer I go for the lemon or lime in Corona. No idea why it works so well because otherwise I'm not crazy about the stuff. Labic Ale is, as I remember, Gueze. Terrible stuff, tastes like...

    2016 NFL Playoffs & Superbowl

    He certainly has a lot of maturing to do. Hopefully, this loss will turn him into the truly great QB I think he can be, by teaching him some real humility. As a NY Jet fan, it was tough to tolerate Geno Smith, with all of Cam Newton's ego but none of his ability.
