My new Ride

On October 18, 2009 three days before my 71st birthday I was riding with my club to get some vittles. We rode about 55 miles for this and I was not going to ride back with them. My granddaughter was playing college soccer in Georgetown, TX so I left them in Marble Falls and proceeded to ride to Geor...

I fear Deer in especially during harvest time which started a few weeks ago. I've have wondered about the question of do I really want to know "I'm going down" if there is nothing I can do about it. With the corn over 7 foot high on both sides of the roads here, a deer can run out fast en...

Freshly cut grass can be a hazard also. Early in the week I was riding and noticed a friend in his garage. I had just passed him so I attempted a U turn to go see him. I pulled way to the right side of the road applied a touch of rear brake and was turning when I felt my rear wheel squirt out to the...

Check tubes before sticking them in a ti

I have a Mustang back rest. Love it. Before that, I had a aftermarket one and that was fantastic also. I am 70 years old and have a pinched nerve between L4 and L5.

I ride 400 miles a day without pain.

I love Honda Spray. I use it everywhere on my bike and on my cage as well.

I like it so much I bought a case of it.

$5.99 a can. Will do your entire bike three or four times.



Every six months or so I will throw some paste wax on it just to preserve the shine.

Thanks. I found out later that day that it was the officers first or second day on the job. He just finished his tour with another officer and he was out on his own as a real newbie. I guess he was just being nice. My friend on the council has taken this to the police chief and they will step up enf...
