What did you do today...

Sunshine....great looking boots. Are they by Justin? The round toes appeal to me.

Great guess... yes they are! They are called Gypsy boots. I too like the round toe. I tried on plenty with square toe but none of them appealed to me. I was also after steel toe but the steel toe ones all fit a bit smaller on my foot.

Last night, just like Friday night, I volunteered for Operation Red Nose. Driving drunk people home, with their own vehicle. Was fun, one weekend down 4 more to go plus New Years Eve...

Well done! I have a good friend who does the same thing in Kingston Ontario every year. I applaud anyone and everyone who volunteers their time this way to help keep the roads safe.

Today we went for brekkie at McD's, then washed and waxed the car, pulled some weeds, then we both did some work (on a Sunday???), then vacuumed and mopped the whole house, then ate dinner. Now... exhausted! What a crazy day!!!

Way to go! Thanks for doing a great thing for the community.

Now if only they had that service here in Texas year-round, there wouldn't be so many drunk drivers on the road...

I took these two beauties out on their maiden voyages today after completing each sidecar install...

That blue is gorgeous.

The black sidecar looks like it has a little smile.

Ya know, from that angle it really does. Probably just as well, because it will be carrying two kids.

Did you have a preference between the two?

I love the look of both, but that black one on the Wing really looks awesome...

Did you have a preference between the two?

Not really, no. I've never been a Wing fan and a ride on this one did nothing to change my mind. A very capable bike, for sure, and it makes for a very fine sidecar rig (it has modified triple trees to reduce trail for better handling), but I counted 56 buttons/knobs/switches within direct reach of the driver. Not my cup of tea. The Harley handled well and the colour match paint made it pure eye candy, but I much prefer my Road Glide setup. I find the Softail series to be cramped and the ergonomics do not match my needs.

Now, this little beauty I liked very much. It made my Road Glide combo feel like one of those plastic Big Wheels trikes I used to pedal around on as a wee lad....


That's a 2006 Honda ST1300 that I mated to a Hannigan Super Sport sidecar a couple months ago. It has ABS discs on all three corners and a zippy powerplant that got me up to (mumble,mumble,cough,cough)kmh in no time. The only negative point was the "knees-bent, leaning forward slightly" riding position. I can't do that one for very long before my knees lock up and my back goes into spasms.

I am in mourning for the passing of a truly great man. We knew it was coming, but it is still a punch in the gut.
