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.

"Crimes of Grindlewald" wasn't spectacular but the kids enjoyed it, some awesome CGI and amazing monsters though even if the plot was terrible. Tonight we went out just the two of us and watched "Glass". That was a little better but still not a lot of fun, pacing was all wrong. I'm not much of a mov...

It's me again! Wow, this is getting to be a thing isn't it? Today Carrie and I are taking our niece and nephew out to see "The Crimes of Grindewald", should be a good time. Then I think we're going to come home and relax for a bit. Congressional leaders and President Trump came to an agreement yeste...

Aside from riding motorcycles today I purchased a telescope. Good for you, glad somebody is riding. Not a lot of motorcycling going on here in New Jersey in January! :( Not much going on here in Utah either, but I'm starting to get excited for the spring just the same. Fired up Chimera and let him ...

Hi everybody!! Just wanted to drop a brief update to draw everyone's attention to my latest article! If you've read through my blog in detail, you've seen that we really do a LOT of long-distance riding. Carrie and I are always planning the next big adventure, and we're not even a little afraid to r...

What!? Another update less than two days later!? How ever is this possible? Snow and beer, that's how. :) Anyway, just another quick update and then I'm going to head over and work on my latest article for the front page. I received a call from my supervisor at work this afternoon, telling me my pos...

Hello, and welcome to TMW! My first thought on reading your post is that you may be trying to reinvent the wheel. If your goal is simply to get some tunes on your bike, there are dozens of prepackaged, baked and buttered systems available to you, especially if you wear a helmet. But, if it's more ju...

Dave, Sounds like an excellent deal! In fact it's probably too good to be true, you find something else and give me his contact info so I can report him... J/K ;) Seriously though, that sounds like a great option, especially if he does good work. That does sound like quite a trip for someone who has...

Dave, Again, apologies for the latency. The following is strictly IMO, and others might have a slightly different take. The typical recommendation to stick with sub-liter bikes is geared more towards either sport bikes, or young riders. Not new riders, mind you, young riders. Absolutely, a 1000cc sp...

What day is it? Thursday? Sunday? No, wait...Tuesday! It's been hard to keep track. You see, I'm a Federal employee and my agency is one of the agencies affected by the shutdown. I've been out of work since December 21st, so with nowhere to go and nowhere to be, I'm slowly loosing track of the days....

Hi Rick! Welcome to TMW, we're excited to have you!
How long have you been riding?

Dnepr, welcome to TMW! You've come to the right place. I'm from the US, my wife and I primarily ride sport bikes but we dabble in cruisers too. We hope to do some motorcycle touring in other countries, but for now there's so much touring to do in the US we're pretty occupied with that. What kind of ...
