Some days are especial rough at work. Things coming at you from all different angles. By the time you clock out at the end of your shift you're just plain exhausted. My wife and I have a safety net for days like these. There's a restaurant we frequent on our way home and if either of us feel like we've had our asses handed to us, we call the other to meet at the restaurant for dinner.

Well, this...

I just started riding alittle over a month ago - and can't seem to get enough of it. I was wondering if there was any chicks on here that do rides together?

A couple of weeks ago, a number of members here got together at a rock quarry way up north for some target practice. Having never been to the quarry, I decided to take a ride up the day before to familiarize myself with the area. I snapped a few photos along the way and wanted to share two of them with you.

The first was at the quarry. When you initially pull into the quarry, you're sitting on top of a bluff which pretty much overlooks the entire site. This, I thought, made a pretty...

Here a little while ago I wrote about taking a bit of a spill after I slipped on some gravel on the side of Highway 9 in Bryant. During that minor mishap, I managed to snap off the right-hand highway peg off my poor bike. Ever since I've been riding around with just the left-hand highway peg and the nub from the broken one. It served both as a reminder to keep an eye out for sand and gravel and for me to buy a new set....

These last few weeks have been hell. Hell! I tell ya! Hell! My boss of the last almost eight years and friend for well over 15 years has now retired. I'm taking his place. Because of this change, I've been training to do his job and planning his retirement party. Throw in a couple of break downs with the wife's car and I've not seen the seat on my bike for about a week it seems. (Oh, and don't forget the occasional snow we've had.)

The good news is that I'm planning on riding today....

Do you realize it's been something like ten days since my last post? What the hell have I been doing with my time?!?

Oh, that's right. It snowed. Then froze. That pretty much killed any chance of me riding. Well, up until this last Friday. I think I managed to put about one hundred miles on the odometer. I mostly just went for a cruise around my normal haunts.

I was testing out a new set of helmet speakers the wife purchased for us. She was ordering herself a set...

My bike's starter has not been wanting spin up when I hit the starter button on the handlebar. I suspected it was due to a faulty solenoid, but I wanted to make sure before I ordered a replacement. So, yesterday, I wheeled the bike out into the driveway, put the key in and turned it on, hit the starter button and... nothing! Good. Failure meant I could do some diagnosing.

I checked for voltage at the solenoid, then through...

So I go in for my second surgery on my wrist and now they are taking out the screw and bone graph that they did in June of ‘08 because it’s not taking due to the location of the break. Now almost a year later they are removing everything they did because it not doing a dumb thing for me and healing like they thought it would. So now I have the surgery on the 19th of Feb and get to start all over from the beginning with therapy and healing. At least this time I won't be getting cased, just have to...
