    Sometimes you have to leave the ground - to fly!

    I remember my first (and only) flight in a balloon in Colorado. Really neat. Now, I have to ask Puppychow, if this was your first flight were you initiated with champagne and dirt on the head?

    Beyond Frustration--Mirror Mount Bracket Snapped

    Mike: I broke the mount at Smitty's last year at Hooterville. He fabricated a small aluminum brace and fastened it in place with sheet metal screws. It has held for almost a year, but I don't expect it to last forever. I see a winter subframe replacement project coming. Hah - Marty beat me to...

    NAFO - Get Home Safe peeps!

    Finally made it home after 16 days on the road. About 8900 miles and turned over 52K on the red head. Kinda got used to that dry heat out west - the last two days through OK, AR, MS and GA were pretty tough in the wet heat. A fun trip with lots of TOH grabs

    2016 Tour of Honor

    My last visit of the day was to a Boy Scout camp near Rome, GA for a Statue of Liberty. The statue is in the camp, which is locked up and I have to make an appointment during the week to see it. Good thing I didn't go too far out of my way, like an hour, or get caught in the rain, which I...

    North American Wild Card Moto-Tag Game

    After Glen Frey of the Eagles passed away earlier this year, I thought it would be cool to "stand on the corner in Winslow, AZ" like he sang in Take it Easy. So on the way to NAFO, I stopped in. Here's the mural Here's the corner and of course, here's the flat bed ford My tag is your...

    NERDS IV - B2B (back to basics) - Stowe, VT 8/18-21/2016

    Well, hell. After realizing I am going to NAFO, doing the Heaven to Hell ride to Death Valley and coming back to SC via TOH points, this didn't leave me much time at home before shoving off for NERDS. So I am bowing out. Definitely will miss seeing some folks, and oh yeah, some cooler...
