  • Line bending FAIL!

    So I’ve been trying to get my oil cooler installed on the bike for a few days now. I had a nice little plan ready that would keep the lines hidden for the most part. As it turns out my plan failed because of room issues. Needless to say, the brake line I was bending…

  • So, what’s up around here?

    It’s been a while since I updated the site. It seems I’m not a very good blogger, or more correctly, not a very active blogger. Well, I apologize for that. So with that, here’s another [un]exciting update from yours truly. Alaska Trip The AK trip is still a go, but I’ve pushed it back to…

  • I can see it!

    This past week I discovered that Google Street View now covered most of the route I will be travelling during my “planned” 2011 Alaska trip.

    It could be the winter blues, but I feel the typical 9 to 5 daily grind has to go, at least for a little while. My life has that repetitiveness and monotony going on, and has been that way for some time. Days blend into one another, weeks slip by almost unnoticed, leaving me wondering…

  • Upgrading a 27 year old charging system

    Owning a 27 year old motorcycle has it’s challenges. Keeping the machine in top running condition is one. This evening I took on the slowly degrading charging system. It has been ever so slowly approaching failure ever since I’ve had the bike. I’ve known for some time that it was borderline in regards to function.…

  • Why, again?

    Why did I create this site again? Oh yeah. It was so I could have a place to publish thoughts, photos, videos and other unworthy crap. I guess I should start using it since I am paying for the web space. OK then. Coming soon (or maybe not): DG3 – ride of a lifetime.
