    Computer Backdrop. post your screen shots!

    Here's my laptop, an old Dell Inspiron given a new lease on life after I installed Ubuntu Linux. Rock solid and still going strong.

    Anyone used this GPS mount?

    I did try this product with my Garmin Nuvi 200. I found that the GPS mount wouldn't hold position with the vibration of riding and it lacked adjustability so I was limited as to how I could position it for better viewing. I ended up ditching this cheap mount and spending the coin on a nice Ram...

    One of these things ain't like the others...

    ummmm, OK you got me there. I guess TWO of these things ain't like the others. The black color of my helmet sort of blended in, I guess.

    One of these things ain't like the others...

    I went on a nice organized ride this last weekend in Duluth, Minnesota. Weather was beautiful. On this particular ride I was, how do you say, a minority. Metric cruisers and Harleys galore. A couple of Goldwings were the closest thing to my bike in the group. My buddy rides a Yamaha V Star.

    Scooter crash.

    He may have bounced right back up and looked "uninjured", but I can guarantee he was sore as hell the next day and had some dandy road rash.

    Why did you buy your FZ6?

    The FZ is my first bike, it was my 40 year old birthday present to myself (read midlife crisis). I chose the FZ because of the following: 1.) I wanted a bike I wouldn't grow out of (600 cc's minimum); 2.) I wanted one with an upright riding position; 3.) I wanted something with sportbikish...

    Few new photos of my bike

    Love the shot from behind the bike, the FZ6 looks smokin' hot from low and behind. Wait, that sounded a little perverted didn't it...? Nice pics, the effects rock.

    You may be a motorcyclist if...

    Done that! That left handle on my bicycle doesn't behave quite the same as on the FZ...

    You may be a motorcyclist if...

    ...when you find yourself looking at the long range forecast to see how many commuting days on the bike you'll have next week.

    Motorcycle vs. Turkey

    Mine went up about $4 a month this year, I was thinking of calling to complain. My carrier: Progressive.

    Anyone sharing my shame?

    I feel your pain, I was wishing I had driven the cage to work last Friday when I got stuck in stop and go traffic on the bike in blazing heat and humidity. One of the few times I wish I had driven instead of riding the bike...just wrong.

    Tar Snake Crash?

    I was riding a nice twisty road home from work yesterday, it was sunny, 85 degrees and the road was nice and hot. The road I was on had lots of tar snakes, see the pics below. I noticed during cornering that these buggers seem to be pretty slick in hot weather and I even felt the bike drift a...

    2006 FZ6 Yamaha Fazer Naked bike

    Um wow, that's got to be the ugliest FZ6 I've ever seen. Love the chain that looks like it was under water for a month.

    What other projects are you working on?

    The family room, master bedroom, and master bath are all going in the basement. We've got good sized look-out windows in the basement that let in plenty of light and the square footage allowed for a nice big bedroom and huge walk-in closet.

    What other projects are you working on?

    Funeral Home Embalms Murdered Rider on top of a Motorcycle – Yes You Just Read That

    So if you die in a motorcycle crash will they embalm you suspended by wires above your bike mimicking a wicked high side? This is just friggin creepy.

    First time taking my bike to work

    Funny thing about riding to work...that ride home at the end of the day is often the "long way home". Another thing I've noticed, I don't get nearly as wound up and stressed in stop and go rush hour traffic, i just chill and people watch as the cagers filter around me, they're all jealous.
