I guess I’m getting old. For the last few weeks, it’s literally been too hot to ride. Now, I’m not talking about “hot” the way that a lot of the country has had it – I can well remember a late-summer ride past Joshua Tree in southern California years ago in what was legitimate 100+ […]
It’s funny to think back to when I first started riding how much crap ended up in the saddlebags. Now, truth be told, some of that was out of necessity – my bike in those days had plenty of problems and I needed to make sure that I had a pretty fair assortment of tools […]
As I’m prone to do, a few days ago, with the promise of beautiful weather, I broke out the Sportster for a full day’s ride. A few gallons of gas and a cup of coffee at the gas station was breakfast and in less than an hour, I was on unfamiliar roads in the vast […]
Over the last few weeks, as more and more lockdown b%&&$@ is coming to an end around North America and riding season is in full swing, I’ve been thinking about how we – as riders – aren’t too original. Seriously – we all wear the same black leather, the same engineer boots, the same wraparound […]

For those of us who like to fix old iron, nothing has been so important as the internet. Whether it’s finding parts for old broken stuff with strange drivetrains (Need a transmission for a 1970 Cushman Truckster? You ain’t gonna find it in your hometown, most likely) or simply tracking down the next cool project, […]
So before I start telling stories, I wanted to talk a little bit about buying bikes online. Yeah, it’s a thing, and if you look over to the right of these very words, you’ll see a link that’ll give you access to eBay’s site, with about a gazillion motorcycles from literally ALL OVER THE WORLD. […]
Okay, first things first – this is a review of a marketing plan, not a real product (at least not yet). It’s also a question of what is going on in Milwaukee. On February 22, 2021, Harley plans to unveil its new Pan America bike. On the H-D site, they’ve got beautiful pictures, Jason Momoa […]
Look, we all know that 2020 sucked, period. There’s no debate on it, but the frightening thing for a lot of us as riders and motorcycle “folks” is this: we’ve seen how easy it is to get people terrified. To strip everything away from them and tell them it’s for their own good. To close […]
