ROT is coming

Posted on March 30, 2007


May 31 marks the kick off to ROT bike rally in Austin. It is one of the biggest rallies around and I hear that it is a lot of fun. Hopefully we will make the journey this year. The cost is about $45 per … which gets you into everything. I would just be happy if it stopped raining here long enough to run down the road.

I promise to bring home some pics like this soon. I have found several sites that give you some great motorcycle routes … no matter where you live. These sites give you some insight into things to see and roads to travel. It’s nice. It’s almost like a tour guide that you can turn off. Motorcycleroad.us is one of those sites.  It gives you some pretty good info on areas that you would like to travel. Like I said … there are many of these sites … if you would like to recommend one … feel free.

bluebonnets are here

Posted on March 28, 2007

It’s that time of year. The bluebonnets and paint brushes are going to be thick this year. Any trip through the hill country of Texas is going to take a little extra time … because around every bend will be a breath taking array of color. You will want to stop and snap a few or just sit and enjoy the beauty. You don’t have to go to the hill country to find Texas bluebonnets … they are every where … even my front yard! If you are not from Texas … please note that it is illegal to pick bluebonnets. Leave them be. Just enjoy. The picture is from a great site I found … this guy has some really good photos … Jeff Blaylock.

the call of the open road

Posted on March 27, 2007


[photo from here]

Why does the open road call to us? Just looking at this picture puts me into a different frame of mind. It doesn’t really matter where it is. The open road conveys a truth about freedom. Sweeping corners, balance, speed, and awesome scenery. I couldn’t even image wasting this road, driving it in a car … could you? Yesterday was a rainy Monday (rainy days and Monday always get me down, Karen was right), no riding for sure … but there is always a thought of open roads and clear skys.

if I were an angry man

Posted on March 25, 2007

(This is a photo of a russian sub docked as a museum piece in San Diego. Caleb, James and I crawled through this thing.)

I made about 100 miles on the Valk yesterday … enjoying the weather and regaining sanity. Well, sort of. In a hundred mile trip … how many times would you think that some cage driver would a.) pull out in front of you. b.) come over on you c.) turn in front of you. Ding, ding, ding … all three happened yesterday. I am definitely getting a bigger, louder horn. Or … possibly figure out how to mount a torpedo launcher on my bike. Okay … maybe a torpedo launcher is too much … way too heavy. I’ll just stick to the horn.

anger issues …
