    The best man I ever knew, gone in his prime

    Tonight I mourn the death of a close personal friend. Dennis Stauffer of Asheville, NC was killed yesterday in a car accident. Two other cars collided when one tried to turn left, and the left turner ricocheted into Dennis's car head on. His 1 year old son was also in the car, but survived...

    Free GPX editor software, based on Google Earth

    So, here's a new GPX/KML editing software that's available for free. It's based in part on Google Earth, so you can see the GPX files overlaid on a few different backgrounds, and get elevation views etc. There are some good tools to edit the tracks, reduce the file size, and manage multiple...

    PDX Christmastime dinner

    Is anyone putting on a PDX area dinner this year? If no one has set one up, and there are enough interested parties, I'd be happy to call some restaurants and make a reservation. How many are interested, and how does next Tuesday night sound?

    Haven't been around too much lately, here's why!

    Some of you may know that I build basses as a hobby. My younger brother is a guitar player, and for the last several years I've been working on a very special guitar for him. A few months ago, my brother spent several weeks in the hospital with inflamation in sections of his brain and spinal...

    PDX to WFO?

    Trying to avoid shipping door prizes around. Is anyone headed to WFO from or through the PDX area, and could offer some space to carry door prizes? Not sure how much room will be required yet, but hoping it's more than I can pack on the bike.

    Vendor report

    So far not so good. A lot of the vendors I've contacted have either said no, or not responded at all. These include vendors who have supported WFO in the past, as well as vendors I worked with for EOM. I've also been too busy to put as much time and effort as I would have liked. Very...

    Yamaha Contact

    I called the marketing department that I had previously spoken with for EOM, and the receptionist gave me a blanket "we're not doing sponsorships" without letting me talk with anyone. Does anyone have a specific contact a Yamaha who they've dealt with for regional gatherings?

    Writing vendor pitch, what's our offering to them?

    Even though I didn't get as many respondents as I would like for the market research poll, I'm working on the pitch. What do we have available in terms of vendor space to set up, if any are inclined to visit? Can we get room for a clinic of any sort if anyone's interested? Things on the table...

    Attn: Ponyfool and FJRPig

    I see the Portland area motorcycle officers riding in short sleeve synthetic fabric shirts and pants during the summer. What's up with that? I would guess that some of the officers can't "take the heat," as it were... Noticed motoport recently redid their website, and added some new products...

    Lots of new parts, Custom Headlight

    To start off, this is how my bike looks tonight as I post: It kinda reminds me of a race horse with blinders on. Or a hoverbike. But anyway... It's been a while since I've been able to do any major service, so it was time to get in and lube all the pivot points, service the U-joint, etc...

    Car Electrical Gurus?

    My 95 Taurus SHO died on the wife's way home from work yesterday (Friday). I can't get the thing running again. All systems are good except ignition. I'm getting no spark. I replaced the Crank Position Sensor, as it's a common problem on the car. Car started right up and ran for 3 days...
