    New Yamaha Touring Bike - Venture

    After all of the marketing hype for this bike I expected to be disappointed with it- hoped it would be a home run, but didn't expect it. IMHO it is neither a disappointment nor a home run. It's pricey and they hope you buy $2k in accessories to get it the way you want it (and that is after...

    EOM 2017 Discussion

    I don't care about the AIM expo either- but that weekend is out for me anyway- so I voted for the weekend of the 15th. The weekend of the 8th would be even better, but that was not an option . . . . . .

    National (USA) Ride-to-Work day

    The weather for Ride-to-Work day has been consistent over the years and yesterday did not disappoint- the power in the office winked out for the last time around 3:45 and we escaped at 4 pm, by then the thunderstorm had moved south and was waiting between me and home, but I had the foresight to...

    National (USA) Ride-to-Work day

    I ride to work as much as is reasonable and practical, but given my office hours and reluctance to ride in the dark ( too many forest rats ) my ride to work season is roughly April 20 thru August 20. I wonder if the national effort to have an official "Ride-to-Work" day, on or near the longest...

    National (USA) Ride-to-Work day

    Today, Monday June 20, is national ride-to-work day, and that normally guarantees really bad weather, but for once it was nice and I made the 35 mile commute on the bike. Apparently no one else in my area got the memo- because I saw only one other motorcycle on the forty minute ride, and three...

    CFR 2016 Registration is Open

    Last winter, when my schedule showed enough free time in June to easily make the Pembroke CFR, I should have known that it was too good to be true. I was really looking forward to this event when my manager called me in a couple of weeks ago for the "you sure you can take off for eight days in...

    2016 SEOR Details

    The wife and I made it home by 5:30 in states of mild hypothermia. On the plus side- there were no bugs to clean off the bike. I usually like the weather somewhere between snow season andbug season- but today the wind was strong and absolutely relentless; it still beat hell out of riding a...

    2016 SEOR Details

    This is good stuff - it involves more planning than I usually do . . . but we will see some good roads that would have been missed otherwise. The wife is balking some at the rain in the forecast, so the scenic overlook might just smooth things out a bit. And I like your directions just...

    It's paved, up to the driveway and parking lot for the Salt Creek Winery, so you have about 100 yards of crushed limestone when you get to the winery. IMHO they have some decent wines too . . . .
