Great looking Yammie!

Whew, that was almost too long to go without an update!! Man its' been a busy few weeks! We've been dividing our time between our regular full-time jobs, MSF certification, drone practice (AWESOME!!) and replacing one of our vehicles that hasn't been behaving very well. Oh, and hosting D&D weekends ...

So I'm just gonna throw this out there...

It's a WHOLE lot easier to install different boots than a different shift lever.

Seriously, if your boots are so chunky that the shift lever has to be in it's highest position to accommodate them, that's excessive.

Mike,

So far, everything seems exceptionally clean on my end. In this instance I'm using Chrome on a Win10 machine with an AMD 6300, and NVIDIA GTX660 GPU and SSD. So there ya go.

Pete, that's awesome news! Carrie and I used to have a little pop-up camper, we pulled in with our Kia Sportage and really had a great time with it. But it started to get too cramped as the kids got older. You're sure to have a ton of fun in it!

Nice to finally get a break! I'm using the time to update the blog! The MSF classes have been moving at a healthy pace, we've spent time in the classroom and on the range (in the wet and cold no less!) and it's just been an amazing experience. We'll be finishing up the certification through April an...

Nice!
I'm a huge fan of the M109R. It's getting warmer here too, pretty soon we'll be out and about every day!

I'm gonna agree with Pete on this one, all the way around. In a practical sense, motorcycles are built to very particular tolerances. Every component of your 250 was designed to accommodate that motor, which aside from weight also applies to your brake pressure, cooling, tire size, etc. And as Pete ...

Carrie and I have camped on the bikes a few times! We don't ride out to the backcountry to do it or anything, we just stay at developed sites in the numerous recreational areas here in Utah and Idaho. But it's always an excellent time! Carrie wrote a recent article about this exact topic in fact! ht...

And you thought I was gonna go silent for a couple months again! Nope, not this time. It's just been a busy week is all. We finally got around to working through some of the video from our trip to the AIMExpo last October, and compiled a review article and video for the 2019 Vulcan S. Check them out...

Awesome! I've always been a fan of the Virago, almost bought one back before I bought my Vulcan. The guy didn't actually want to sell his bike, but his girlfriend insisted he did. So he kept upping the price until I finally told him nevermind.

Love to see the pics when you've got them ready!

Thanks Pete! We're really happy about it and couldn't be more excited. It's a really good group of people so far and we'll be meeting the rest of the team soon, and we'll be teaching classes by April! It's been a few days since I've posted, my apologies. We've been busy getting the review of the 201...

Just a quick note... We've been accepted!! Carrie and I will begin training next month to become MSF certified RiderCoaches! It's gonna be awesome and we couldn't be happier!! If you've ever taken any MSF courses or are a coach yourself, we'd love to hear something about your experiences. Sound off!...

Pete, you should absolutely try D&D if you get the opportunity. The new edition, 5th, is really easy to jump right into and you can get starter kits with pregen characters while you're learning the ropes. If you've watched some YouTube D&D, then you know it's really a lot more imaginative/theater th...

Pete, the four most recent episodes of LoS are downloading in my podcatcher now. I'll check them out tomorrow.
Awesome ink, the link work looks great! Carrie and I just got new ink in December, mine is "The Giant's Drink" from the novel Ender's Game. No pics of it on IG though, sadly.

Thought maybe you’d grab one of those clam shell helmets you guys reviewed a while back. Lol Looks sharp though! The VOZZ? :) That's a real nice lid, Carrie still has hers. I didn't really care for it myself though. I REALLY like the integrated sun visor, which the VOZZ didn't have, and that clamsh...

Helmet shopping went very well! I came away with a nice LS2 Stream in Titanium. It's a sport touring helmet with a good, upright profile. It's got one intake in the chin bar and two on the forehead, and an exhaust port under the spoiler. It's also got comm speaker pockets, an internal visor, washabl...

The last few days have been a lot warmer than normal, which is odd with the polar vortex set to erase the midwest this week. It's been close to 40 degrees, and the other morning we even dared to ride to work. I rode in 23 degree temps for about ten minutes and I was frozen SOLID by the end, but it w...

Fascinating material, I recommend it to anyone who enjoys American political history.

HISTORY??!!!! Watchoo callin' "history", young'un???

To people of my generation, that's "current events" !!

LoL, well then you're sure to enjoy it!!

Today I listened to a serial podcast called "Bag Man'. It's all about President Nixon's VP Agnew and his crimes and corruption, completely separate from the Watergate stuff that dominated that period of history. Fascinating material, I recommend it to anyone who enjoys American political history.
