    Old Age and Treachery

    "Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance." David Mamet We have all heard that quote and there is some truth in it. I prefer the treachery of old age. I am talking about going toe to toe with the undefeated champion of the world. Yep Father Time. I turned 60 a few months ago...

    Hard Choices

    About three weeks ago I had the opportunity to purchase a slightly damaged 2021 Honda Africa Twin at a great price. I repaired all the stuff the previous idiot did to her and yesterday I sold it. I was very impressed with the bike and if I was a younger man I might have kept it. When I compared...

    Over His Head

    I picked up a 2021 Africa Twin today. Looks like someone's equipment exceeded their ability. A little banged up but a whole list of goodies on her. 1240 miles. Gotta due some cosmetic repairs then she is up for sale. A hoot to ride though. I may have to drag my feet a little getting it ready.

    I Have Arrived

    Gonna turn sixty in a few months but I did not think CRS would hit me so soon. So........I knew I was coming up on a service. I, being a kinda obsessive retentive guy, I bought all the thing necessary to get the bike up to snuff. Went for a ride this morning and came home ready to tackle the...

    My wonderful wife ordered this 12 x 18 print for me for Christmas. It was drawn by Vasilis Petropoulos from Crete. He sent it to me from there, then sent a second one by mistake. I contacted him and told him I would sell it for him and send him the money but he said keep it for my honesty. I...

    Rainy Days and Mondays

    So here is a picture of me on my old V Strom DL650A Adventure. Two things to take from the picture is one, it is raining and two I am smiling. Living in the deserts of the southwest it is pretty easy to avoid riding in the rain. I have missed bad weather most of my riding career. I got caught in...

    One for all or all for one

    I purchased my second S 10 about ten days ago, my 17th motorcycle in my riding history. Last week I was invited by an experienced rider to join his group for a ride today. I told him I appreciated the offer but my rule of thumb is not to ride with anyone until I have 1000 miles on a bike to...
