Yesterday, I mentioned that I got new tires put on the FJR. I had been riding the V-rod and wasn’t in a huge hurry to get the new tires done. I had already spent a large part of the summer riding the FJR while the V-rod sat in the garage, so it felt good to …

On Saturday, I got the FJR back from the dealer. It was a lack of communication on my part that led them to have to order in the tires I wanted for the bike, but that’s another story for another day. I picked the bike up and headed straight to Peaches to meet our friends …

Over the last few years, people have asked me why I stay in the Northeast. When the leaves fall off the trees and winter rolls in, I get really bummed out. That means the bikes have to be put away. It also means that it gets gloomy and then the snow comes. I have two …

I might have mentioned it before, but Route 23A through the Catskill Mountains is one of my favorite areas just outside the Albany area. I try to ride it a few times a year.

I usually hit a few different dealers and even Americade vendors and try on my gear before I buy it. I want to make sure my gear is a good fit, has quality workmanship and something that will last a long time. A brand name wont make or break my decision, but I like to …

Over the last few days, I have been talking with the folks at Brammo on Twitter (@BrammoCraig) and via email about their 100% electric motorcycles. Yes, you read that correctly. You see, the folks at Brammo have come up with a way to eliminate the combustion engine from a motorcycle and build a green motorcycle. …

Or did Summer scream by? A few days ago, I mentioned to Rose that we were only riding once a week most weeks anymore. Now that September has arrived, it scares me to think that the cold is just around the corner. I typically put a minimum of 5,000 miles on the bike each year. …
