More Hazards... (Warning!! Dead animals)

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a topic entitled "Hazards of the Season", or some such. The hazard in question was the accumulation of pine needles and fallen leaves on my go fast and have fun road. There are however, other hazards this time of year out in the country. http://r1150r.smugmu...

Meanwhile on the aftermarket side, we had a chance to tour the STM facility the day before the show started and despite the misnomer of it being a "slipper" clutch, we can report that it is definitely worth a closer look. Currently distributed by Lockhart Phillips for the streetbike marke...

Man! As a geology and natural history buff, just standing on the dried up remains of lake Bonneville would be an experience that I would cherish for the rest of my life. As a gearhead, being on the salt with knowledge of its history of speed and everything that entails would probably push me over th...

That was a sweet piece of writing.

I too printed it and my lovely wife will be forced to read it. She's an English major; I think she'll enjoy it, even if she doesn't fully get it.

Thanks for the post.

Well, different experiences, but no joke....I have 'learned' that the flash is a yielding to you signal. I'd like to hear others' experiences or knowledge. Well, it depends on the situation. On a couple of local roads where, at times, traffic backs up and it's difficult to make a left, a couple of ...

What a bummer!

Lesson here is that ice shuld be kept in small enough pieces as to fit into a short glass with bourbon.

Well, we are after all, just a slightly less hairy ape. Jared Diamond calls us (Homo sapiens, that is) "The Third Chimpanzee".

I'm O.K. with that, but somebody should do something about those really dumbask apes out there. They're giving the rest of us hominids a bad name.

Well, I guess you can count me in the variable mileage crowd... The original battery deep within the musty dusty recesses of my '99 1100R is still doing fine. Of course down here in the deep South, I can ride at least once or twice a week in all but the worst cold snaps. Summer heat and the fluid lo...

Yeah, I rode in this morning too. It was about 36F and the frost, as they say down this-a-way, was on the collards. The bike really seems to like the colder air. I, on the other hand... Of course the collards will be much sweeter for having had a light dusting of frost. Collards don't grow in the pa...

Some hazards of the season....

We had a little "blow" come through the other night, and it left my favorite road a mess. My corner of Johns Island is still nicely rural and there are usually few cars and fewer LEO's. So I have fun. Except when it looks like this: http://r1150r.smugmug.com/photos/45690420-M.jpg Another p...
