Catoctin Mountain Park today, near Camp David

Was able to get in my first ride of 2019 today, due to favorable weather and temps in the 45 to 50 degree range. Kept it short (55 miles). Brown Rd., upper Frederick Co.: View from High Rock, above PenMar: Decent day for the first ride of the year. If it stays like this till April, I...

The Western Maryland MC holds their Nostalgia Run this time every year; I usually stop by to get some pictures of the vintage machines that show up. A nice pair of Indians, the new and the old: Triumphs and some Ducatis: A Harley: A couple old Yamahas: Only a couple Beezers...

Weather around these parts has been really strange this year. A few cold spells, two snowfalls that were light enough (1-2" max) to sweep with a broom, and unusually warm temperatures. Since I'll be incapacitated after next Tuesday, I though I'd better take advantage of this gift and get a few...

A word of praise and thanks for Mitch of Mojo tire tools for his support of his product. After 9+ years, the demount end of my Mojo Lever https://www.mojotiretools.com/mojoweb.htm had developed a bend that I thought might fail at an inconvenient moment. No fault of the lever - I've always had...

Saw these https://www.homedepot.com/p/Crescent-3-8-in-Drive-Pass-Thru-Adjustable-Wrench-Set-11-Piece-CPTAW8/205642158 online and thought they would make a useful addition to the tool bag I take on trips. A little pricey at the original $35 - $40 asking price, but at the $20 Home Depot is...

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...

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...

Recently purchased a set of GIVI tubular side mounts for the Honda VFR 800 from ebay, was assured by the seller they were for the standard Monokey bags, not the V35s. Upon receiving them and trying one of my E21s on them, I found the standard Monokey does not fit, so I assume they are for the...

Took the little Suzook on some local backroads today and found the foliage around here almost at peak:

A fall ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway every year has gotten to be a tradition with me. Some years I'll slab it one way and ride the Parkway back; when I made my plans for this year, I decided to ride it both ways. Also been a tradition to do it on a Gold Wing for my fall ride, since 1997, so Don...

This weekend is the annual Vintage Japanese Motorcycle show and swap meet at the White Rose MC https://whiterosemc.org/ near Jefferson, PA. I usually ride up there to check out the older stuff and buy one of their tee shirts to support the club. Not many opportunities for interesting photos on...

Weather forecast for today was calling for perfect weather, so I thought I'd take advantage of the opportunity to burn up some fuel and tire rubber. One of my favorite riding areas for day trips is the area between Bedford, PA, McConnellsburg, PA, Flintstone, MD, and Hancock, MD; decided to ride...
