    The new 'Neander' diesel bike

    https://www.neander-motors.com/ Had to check out the website after seeing it in CycleWorld...crazy Germans! They call it a 200% bike: 100% sex and 100% rock & roll! (Uh, isn't that what FJRs are?) The website has other humorous bits...I especially like how they call a drive chain 'an...

    Wife getting better after the accident....

    As a lot of you will recall, my wife had nasty get-off about 3 weeks ago while we were on some back roads on the way from SugarLand to Fredricksburg (Tx). (That story is a few pages back in this same sub-category, in case you didn't catch it then..) The accident occured in Bastrop county...

    My wife went down.....in a bad way!

    SO, my wife and I decided to take off for a little 3 day trip to the hill country, each on our own bikes. (gotta take advantage of the time, as our 9 year old was visiting his big sister on spring break) We had booked a room in a bed & breakfast in Fredricksburg, about 350 miles west. We took...

    Greetings from the CycleWorld show, Houston 11/11/06

    Just a little preview for anyone going: Chaps, anyone? The sign said $49.00 for the pair...I'd call that a bargain! ...but I don't know how much the chaps were... Some pricey paint jobs: Check out this ZX14: You think Warchild would go for it? Fine Italian fare: I'm not into...

    Pro Honda Spray Cleaner

    So I'm reading the latest CycleWorld that just arrived in my mailbox, and what do I see? Pro Honda Spray Cleaner & Polish is now illegal in the Golden State. CARB says it's not environmentally friendly. SO, can I expect to be searched at the state line on my next visit? Honda does say a...

    Russell seat pics

    Finally got around to uploading these; got the seat this June. Overall view: Closeup of the seat..the stitching is what Russell calls 'half-moon'. I think it looks sharp; I'm sure others might prefer a different pattern.

    Steve Irwin...Crocodile Hunter

    Crikey! In all seriousness, though...I was saddened when I read this. Crocodile hunter What a shame..the guy always brought a stupid grin to my face. You had to admire his passion for his work; hopefully his wife & kids are taken care of financially.

    Cell phone store cops...

    Okay....in need of some education. Been noticing all the cell phone outlets/store in my area have armed guards now, on site, regardless of the cell phone carrier or company. Have they become that big of a target for the local thugs? Easier to hit than banks or savings & loans? Do I need to be...

    Journey/Def Leppard show

    Went to the Journey/Def Leppard concert last night here in The Woodlands (just outside if Houston). Great show, they sound great as ever; Journey had a temporary lead singer, Jeff Soto (as the new 'regular' guy Steve Augeri was out with a throat infection) who was excellent and a great showman...

    Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's V-Rod.....

    Yeah, you read it correctly. The story: My neighbor's V-rod began 'missing' while on a short ride a couple of weeks ago; he got it home, then took it in the following week to the local H-D dealership which was only a few miles away; I gave him a ride back. He told me the service writer told...

    MotoGP '06

    My neighbor got back from his trip to Monterey for the MotoGP...(lucky bastard!) we were talking about the usual stuff- Nicky, Rossi, etc etc. Being the engineer he is, he told me how hot it was there and that track temps reached 117 degrees; I told him that must have a been a killer for the...

    Ok all you Californians.....

    When we went through CA recently from TX on 'our excellent bike adventure' roadtrip; I noticed a few things that were 'just a bit' different from TX: 1) I would have liked to have had the purchase order for all the 'radar enforced' signs. I believe every speed limit sign I saw had one affixed...

    Trailering the FJR

    Had to trailer the FJR & my Suz GS1100 to my recent trip to from TX to CA, since my wife & I had the kids with us during that time. I purchased a Kendon 'fold-up' dual rail trailer, complete with the optional stone guard up front & spare tire (which mounts underneath). First thing: Had to...
