Fri, Dec 30th, 2005 Wow, didn't realize how long it's been since I posted in here. well, despite that length of time, not much to say. I rode as often as I could and tried to get as much experience possible. Managed to get some rides in the rain as well as some longer distance rides in. It was nice...

That's just wrong. What's up with some peoples temperment when they drive? Here's hoping the legal system sticks it to him and doesn't let him cop a plea.

My wife ordered her stuff through Motorcyclecloseouts.com

She was happy with it.

Also, a lot of dealers will give you a break on gear when you purchase a bike. Not usually the best deal in the world, but sometimes they can come through with a good one.

I bought one through the dealership for 3 years I believe. It covers my routine maintenance during those 3 years as well as anything malfunctioning. Seeing as how I don't know that much about motorcycle mechanics yet I thought it was a good deal. If you're more mechanically inclined though, you coul...

I got the Joe Rocket Blaster 2.0 Perforated in the Blue/Black/White color scheme. I love it, not only is it comfortable to wear but the venting is good also so it keeps you cool (or as cool as a leather jacket can) during those hot days. It's also been surprisingly warm during cooler rides.

Much better. I have a Joe Rocket, different model, and I love it. I think you'll feel better with that on rather than the first choice.

Honestly, I don't even worry about it. When I first started sure I was a bit nervous and apprehensive. Now though, I don't even think about it. Too much other stuff going on. Now I just ride and run through the things I need to do to stay safe. I make sure I'm focused and keeping my head and eyes mo...

The New lust of my life, at least for a little while........

Over the years I've drooled from afar over many different bikes. As is usually the case the ones I've drooled on the most have been the ones I'm least able to afford. The current years lust is no exception. As I opened the most recent edition of Cycle World, there it was. A MV Augusta F4 1000 Tambur...
