I bought my 2005 BMW F650 Dakar two years ago because I wanted to explore some of the paths less-travelled, and didn’t want to mar the finish on my HD Electra Glide Standard. Well it’s been two years and 18,000 miles on the Beemer since then, and I’ve been having so much fun on it I sold the [...]
I bought this 2002 Honda RC51 used. I do a lot of track days and last summer at VIR (north) I lost the front end in turn one. If you know the track, you’re pinned in top gear through the front straight coming into turn 1. After scrubbing a lot of speed (in my case, not enough) [...]
I hated cruisers. Been riding over 60 years and never liked ‘em. No lean angle, passenger seat from Hell, feet forward, no suspension travel, what’s to like? Then came cancer with its diabolical treatments that stopped it for now, but left me weaker than before it. The first gen Yamaha Venture I was riding became [...]
I’ve dreamed of the day I would be on a motorcycle probably since I was about 4 years old…around the time when I realized how cool all things vehicular were. For one reason or another getting a bike hasn’t worked out for me until recently. I have many friends who ride, and for years they [...]
This is my 2008 kawasaki zx-14. I purchased it from my barber. It is my second bike. I previously owned a Gsxr 750. I love my Kawasaki so much. I have added the extended swing arm, a Brock’s full exhaust system, power commander, and I had the stock rims chromed out. This past summer I [...]
I originally wanted to take this trip last year, but as usual things conspired to keep me at home. This time I found myself in between projects and while the responsible thing to do was to go look for more work, I decided to take a sabbatical. My plan is to head west sightseeing and catching up with friends [...]
My bike is a constant work in progress and changing all the time so now looks different than in the picture. It is a 2001 Road King so I have had plenty of time to dress her up and work on the motor. I ride year round with all the heated gear Gerbings makes. The [...]
I am 66 years old and was diagnosed with leukemia last year. I ended up retiring from my job and making g a bucket list. Luckily my doctor said that with the new medications out I could live a long productive life, as long as I could afford the cost of the medicine, which is [...]
I was in the market for an all around bike that leaned toward the sporty end in Jan of 2004. Narrowed it down to a Z1000, Speed Triple, Ducati Monster or a Buell Lightning. Walking in the Kawasaki dealer to look at the Z1000 there sat a 2003 ZRX1200R in blue. The ZRX had not [...]
