Sadly for the last 4 years I have struggled on and off again with vertigo. I had hoped by now the docs would find a solution or cause but so far nothing. I decided that I would sell my bike since all that she does is sit in the shed and wait to be ridden. I didn't post her or anything, my friend...
Since my little mishap last year (hit my friend's truck after a long grueling ride home from NH in the downpours) I have been reluctant to ride. My friend got clipped last year when coming off of a rotary by someone that pulled right, and hit her front tire, and down she went. No injuries but a...
I am happy to have my job, and for the most part I love the people and what I do.. although it is slow and I get a bit bored. I have respect for everyone I work with except this one guy who since he started has nickled and dimed this place since he is so cheap. He conducts all of his personal...
Who has a geek in their lives, and do they do things like:
Use command keys to restart windows without a monitor.
Listen to Parody songs from Weird Al in traffic and sings along loudly.
Makes jokes using binary, most people don't get those unless they know binary.
Argues about who shot...
My son is almost 19 and just got laid off from his 'full time' landscape job. He has been working 2 jobs since he graduated HS at the end of May. As of his birthday on 10/11 he has to have health insurance or be sanctioned by the state of Mass. We can only carry him on ours until his 19th...
Do any of you still get butterflies when you are gearing up for the ride. I am by default a very anxious person and no matter what I do, I always get torked up before my ride. Once I am on my bike, no problems all set.. anyone else? Bueller?
I have a Medium Joe Rocket Pink Lotus jacket has been worn about 5 times. It was a birthday gift (2007) and I have a hard time parting with it, but it just sits in our closet. I hung it up to let it breath a bit and it was partly in the sun so the left elbow is a little faded. It has the zip out...
Hi guys, last night I went for a ride and when I stopped my husband saw some smoke, and I smelled some oil burning.. it seems that there was a drop or 2 of oil that dripped on the exhaust pipes down below.. is there a normal amount of seepage after an oil change (I had already ridden 1,000 miles...
I just wanted to post a restored 1964 Matador 200. My co-worker's husband did this with all original parts that came from all over the world. He really did a beautiful job.

I am going to the grocery store with my son and his friend.. and I see down a side street a helmet in the road and a yellow motorcycle on it's side. I quickly turn around thinking there is someone under this bike. When I get back, I see the rider and another woman (maybe 60) walking quickly...
I posted last month about my first long trip and how it ended with a very tired Boo banging into a parked truck at our friend's house. Well my hubby and friend repaired her last night, and I rode her home. She has been on the center stand in our friend's garage for a few weeks.. she felt a...
So I come home from work lastnight and my husband is using a chop saw for making kindling from the leftover construction stuff... I leave again to go to the drycleaners, and come back to his swollen, black finger tip. As the night goes on it is getting more and more painful as the pressure is...
