Destination Harley-Davidson/Buell (DHDB) was able to let me take it so that my wife & I could journey to Roseburg, OR for the 1st annual Bikers for Christ rally.

I'm posting this from our hotel.


Repairs of my bike are 99% completed...

Replacement brake light wiring and the 5th gear safety recall kit to add an oil jet for better lubrication under sustained high speed operation did not arrive in time.

DHDB was able to...

I got pulled over in my hopped-up "sleeper" Neon by a Tacoma PD officer on July 4th around 11pm.

My wife & I were heading from N Tacoma to the Port of Tacoma area to check out some other fireworks that my friend, Kevin, was telling me about after the main show at the Tacoma waterfront was done.

I was heading East on S 12th and took off from the light at S Stevens St, accelerated hard and got up to a pretty good clip. I honestly don't know how fast I was...

These are some rides I'd like to do this summer once I get my bike back.

So I sent this out to some people via PM, and then realized that I could just post here instead.


I messed up my bike a bit on Thursday.

Got home from work, changed backpacks and was about to head up to Seattle to help a customer with their computer...

I was in a hurry and grabbed too much throttle and the bike went vertical, dumped me on my ass and took off down the street... It came down and slid a ways.
Fortunately it didn't hit any vehicles...

My wife and I brought home a 7 week old Akita (short-hair) puppy on Father's day.

We have named her "Hatsu Misa Takara" and just call her "Misa" for short.
Hatsu (First born)
Misa (Beautiful sand)
Takara (Treasure, precious object)

Here's some pictures:
