21 March 2013 – Scooter (And Motorcycle) Update #3 – Some Good, Some Bad

So, progress continues.  For the most part… I had to actually put gas in the V-Star yesterday.  It’s something that doesn’t happen very often around here.  Aside from my fuel budget (which has been reduced a bit compared to back in Las Vegas), I just don’t have to go too far on a daily basis.  [...]

9 March 2013 – Snow on the Bike

So, I wasn’t aware of the forecast calling for snow yesterday morning.  I walked outside and found my bike frozen.  Now, I don’t mind my bike getting wet, frozen, baked, wind/sand blasted, etc.  I just want to actually be riding it when it happens  I normally pull the bike under our deck if I know [...]

Voyages on Two Wheels – 3 March 2013 – Back On the Battery Charger Again…

 I can name quite a few reasons why I love my V-Star 650 Classic.  The easy handling and easy going nature are just a couple of them off the top of my head.  I know she can run through scorching deserts, howling winds, drenching rains, and not have a single problem She does, however, have [...]

I recently wrote about the Clevver lever after Roger so kindly gave me approval to use the official images and graphics   That was ¾ of the solution to making the V-Star’s clutch more user friendly.  Having a wider friction zone has really made slow speed maneuvers easier to execute.  I’ve always been good at starting [...]

Voyages on Two Wheels – 26 May 2012 – Return to Red Rock Harley Davidson

So, I found out Red Rock Harley Davidson was having a free lunch yesterday.  Who am I to turn something like that down?  Free food and good looking motorcycles?  Yeah, I figured I could spend the $1.50 or so in gas The ride over to the dealer was surprisingly chilly (we were 108° just a [...]

Voyages on Two Wheels – 22 May 2012 – Motorcycle Status Update

 I still need to do quite a bit of packing, but I figured I’d do a bit of writing here and there to take my mind off everything that’s going on right now.  I don’t like going through all my stuff for a number of reasons and while I’m looking forward to having everything done, [...]

21 May 2012 – Sitrep

So, it’s been a bit busy and that doesn’t appear likely to change anytime soon. My last day at work was supposed to be June 1, 2012.  Was.  My now former employer made me an offer I really couldn’t refuse last Thursday.  They said I could make that my last day and they’d pay me [...]
