Boy, have we had discussions around our house... but after a lot of deliberation I have decided to sell Eeyore because we are now moving aboard a sailboat full time and I just don't know when we'll be back. I don't want to pay for storage, and I don't want a great bike to sit and languish away...

Couple of years ago I got a job here in the D.C. area. We rented our house to some really great tenants and things were good. Until Thursday. The house is lost to the flooding in Colorado. The tenants got out OK, just barely. They tried to drive away, but the water came up so fast it pinned...

I usually (well, pretty consistently ... well, almost always ... well .. religiously) watch the Indy 500 if I can't actually go there. Born and raised in Indy, the race was an annual family event and I've been to maybe 30 or so races. Today I was watching some of the 'race week' activities...

Point made... Zachary Quinto vs. Leonard Nimoy: "The Challenge"

TWICE in two days now ... Seems to have happened since the ambient temperature has risen above 45F. The fuel was fresh, I just finished a TB sync and adjusted the air screws. It's been running fine till now. I had stuff to do, a day well planned and people to meet. I thought I could fit in...

Spent over three hours trying to find THE picture .. the first ever of me on a motorcycle and could not come up with it .. so, here are (like second, third and seventh) some old photos of me in the 'glory days' of yesteryear. 2 strokes, expansion chambers and then the KLR. A fun way to spend...

So, I'm having a very Monday kind of Monday. My desk phone rings and it's my wife. She says "I just got a call from "Eeyore" (the Tenere). He insists you leave work early and take him for a ride." ::013:: Who am I to argue? This is not the first time she's done stuff like this (i.e...

At an intersection today, a car window went down and guy said "Nice bike! Is that a Buell?" .. When I replied that it was a Yamaha I got a thumbs up ::008:: and another compliment "Looks very cool!". Seeing as how this has happened before (a Harley rider talked to me about it at the...

Greetings from northeast Virginia. Proudly took delivery yesterday and took the long way home. My first 90 miles fully convinced me that I made the right decision! Paid retail, didn't haggle about destination and dealer prep charges; just wanted to ride. Got a blue base model and will start...
