I believe that how I start the year is important to how the year goes. Posted this last year and went for my ride. Posting again in case anyone wants to ride along. Bit of a warning: I am not a knee dragger. Spirited when I can, but never really an A group rider. Making a morning run to the...

First, a warning: I am not a knee dragger. Spirited when I can, but never really an A group rider. I like to think how I spend New Year's Day will have an influence on how I'll spend my year. Making a morning run to the German bakery in Yalaha on Sunday morning, having a cookie and cup of...

Since there was no interest at my first price, let's try again at half: $125 OBO, local pickup or plus shipping Sargent heated rider's seat, not new by any means, but in very good condition. Heat controller has never been hooked up or used -- just never got around to it. Bought very shortly...

$40 plus shipping. As good as new original seat foam and cover off my 2012 Gen 2. Pulled from the bike early in 2012, once I figured out the original seat was worse than a Gen 1 Concours seat -- which I would have thought was impossible. No pan, of course, since it is in use with a Seat Concepts...

Still have the Harbor Freight motorcycle tire balancer I no longer use -- gave up on stiff sidewalls, so mostly letting Cycle Gear take care of it now. I'm in Orlando and looking for a hand-off, not looking to ship by any means. I'm going to do a cookie run on Saturday, 17SEP22, arriving at the...

Bought this on sale at Cyclegear some time back, but it's still never been worn and has the original tags. Great jacket with back shoulder and elbow armor/padding. Full hoodie liner zips out and can be worn separately. Kind of thinking $50 + shipping, or local pickup/hand-off. I'm in Orlando, so...

Took the bike on a work road trip last week -- nothing quite like riding a couple of long days on the time card! A couple of times during the week, the motor seemed to stumble just the least little bit. So short I thought perhaps I had fumbled the throttle (I can be ham fisted at times). Also...

Took the week off for BikeWeek again -- generally don't miss it. Have to say, from my perspective it was quite sad. In days gone by, the participation at the Speedway would take the entire front half of the compound, from the north fence to the south, with demo rides from all the major brands --...

After three years of delays and false starts, the Orlando Ace Cafe opened on Friday. Took a run by this afternoon. Pulled a muscle this week, so couldn't climb the stairs to the 2cd floor gallery, so can't report on it yet, but the first floor was mostly still empty, with a promise of a BMW...

I've got a Harbor Freight knock-off tire machine I just don't use anymore -- Bridgestone T-30 sidewalls are just to stiff for my arm, I fear. I say knock-off because it isn't actually from Harbor Freight, having been sourced during the period when HF wasn't selling them a while back. Fitted with...

I knew better. Delegation is the most sincere way to show you don't care how something turns out, and I delegated my valve clearance check to a local dealer. They (Central Florida Powersports in the Orlando area) have great Google and Angie's List reviews, and my old Concours really wore me out...

Ran across this at brit MCN website, thought it worth sharing: https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2016/july/video-how-to-ride-a-harley-davidson/

Just wondering if anyone has heard or read anything definitive on progress at the Orlando Ace Cafe. Most recent thing I found indicated they would be doing a soft opening in January, and grand opening in February -- though that reference was from a AIM Expo discussion, not from the Ace website...

Can't help but notice that the brackets for Gerald and Motorcycle Larry look awfully, awfully similar. The set of Gerald's pegs I have don't have any markings on them, so I wonder if there isn't any patent or copyright involved? And then I wonder which design came first?

A ride from the north Orlando area around Lake Apopka, through Mt. Plymouth and Mt. Dora to the German bakery in Yalaha. I generally make this run at least once a month. Many of the best 'curves' I know of in central Florida (short of freeway on ramps, that is). The coffee is good, and there is...

On a recent 400 mile day I had far too much time for abstract contemplations -- you know, how to end world hunger, cure the continuing energy crisis, etc. One of the thoughts I had was that there seems to be an ideal bridge point between the bars, going from each cover plate mount location...
