    My dad was killed in a motorcycle accident 07/29

    I was but a young kid when my dad passed, and there were like 100 or so bikers at his service. I remember looking out the back window of the funeral limo and not being able to see the end of the line. They filled the aisles of our local church which, in the early 70s was quite the experience...

    Family time with weapons

    The Shield 2.0 9mm showed up and its a nice piece of kit. Tritium nights are the bomb and the fit is excellent. Glad I chose it but wouldve been happy with the Walther PPS M2 too. Feels great in the hand and 20 oz unloaded makes for a light and compact carry. Only nit so far is the textured...

    Family time with weapons

    I was able to find a Sig P365 to compare. It is quite the trick to get 10 rounds in a gun smaller than the 8 round Shield, and even 12 round clips. But it was too small for my mitts except with the largest clips, so sticking with the shield. Question for those who carry and ride. Do you worry...

    Family time with weapons

    Ordered an M&P Shield 2.0 as a carry option today. I liked the Walther PPS but the Shield felt good and nothing but raves from owners. Tried unsuccessfully to find a Sig P365 but therere quite scarce and they appear to have some issues to be worked out.

    Sorry, I was having fun this weekend getting to know the bike and learning its quirks. Arrived in a crate via air freight, which I picked up from the airport. 750cc's of parallel twin goodness: I had Metisse add a few upgrades, including this vented front hub and twin pull brakes, to suit...

    Looking for Selling Advise for 2008

    Prices for 08s are so low I am keeping mine to use as a spare when friends visit.

    Time for a new bike...

    My vote given your criteria is the S10. Reliable, powerful, comfortable. If you look, you can find a low miles used one and save enough to buy a wee strom. I opted for the KTM 1190R. Wonderful bike but not as low cost and DIY service friendly as the S10.

    This is worth reading if you own or are considering buying a Taurus. https://apple.news/Ai9EwGdYrQoGhImozHXzRwA I dont own a Taurus nor have I been tempted to buy one but after reading this article, theres no way I would consider it.

    Family time with weapons

    Sportsguy and I went to test out a variety of 9mm short barrel CCW candidates. Sig, M&P, Walter, Ruger. The winners for us were the FNH and SA XD Mod.2. Smooth, accurate and well made. Worth the price.

    Henry's a great guy - he even let me ride his Metisse when I last visited Gerry. His show, The Motorcycle Show, is on Netflix for streaming. He's just landed in South Africa this week to film a new season.

    Queensland Ken - RIP

    RIP Ken, I always enjoyed your contributions. Hope the riding up there is even better than the riding down here.

    Yes, rubber being added! Amal carb and electronic ignition included. Starts nicely last time I rode a similar 750.

    Nickel plated oil in frame Don. You can see why I am anxious for arrival. Paint was specd by Steve McQueen. The color was thought to remind him of his time as a Marine. It looks magnificent in person. Did a few upgrades on this one.

    A month after Xmas and I was getting antsy. Then the email came: the Metisse is finished and ready to ship. Here she is: It can't get here fast enough....

    British Bike as "other" bike?

    I think it was 2013. Danish guy if I recall. My kid had a Vincent T-shirt on and the guy let him sit on it while we were waiting at the start line for Triumph Storm run ridden by Alan Cathcart. Was a great trip! Heres a video I shot:
