Monday, and we’re all headed home. WAZE, my primary navigation app, was, for some reason, refusing to give me directions from the the hotel back to home. After messing with it for about 10 minutes, I finally gave up. I figured, ‘Well, I’m not in any hurry, and I...

Sunday! The Reliability Rally continues! Ithaca – Canandiagua   After Colin filled up with oil, we were on our way out of the hotel.     We headed about a mile to a parking lot to do the ‘Slow race’. For those not familiar with the terminology, it’s riding...

Saturday! The Reliability Rally begins! Canandiagua – Ithaca     We started out on the way south, and around to Ithaca. Along the way, we stopped for a photoshoot to get the bikes going around a corner.     After his pass, Colin noticed his front brake felt funny....

Friday…Meeting in Candiagua. T’was an awesome weekend to be riding in New York, if a bit on the chilly side. The beautiful country of the Finger Lakes region made wanting to see more of it an imperative. Plenty of breweries and more wineries than I was able to count....

It turns out that there is a motorcycle magazine based just across the Ohio river from home. What? A bike mag in Pittsburgh? That’s right. Cafe Racer Magazine is located in Sewickley, PA. I had no idea until this summer, either. Anyway, they held a cafe racer show at...

There’s definitely some changes here since I was kid. I remember when Sea World in Aurora, OH, was a big attraction, complete with dolphin & orca shows, and waterskiing shows on the lake. Geauga Lake was the amusement park right next door, and not very big. The parks changed...

We left the Dogma set, and headed off for the Palace of Gold, a Krishna temple in, of all places, West Virginia. New Vrindiban is, as you might imagine, near Moundsville. So, we had some fun getting there, even though one of the roads on our route had been...

June is here. And, we’re full-on into the riding season. Let’s do a double today. On our way to our actual destination for the day, I decided we needed to stop at a location used in the movie Dogma. Filmed mostly around Pittsburgh, it’s one of Kevin Smith’s best....

Or would it be a ‘top’ project? In early June, the little thing I was working on finally got finished. It had taken some time, but I finally got everything together, and a couple of decent days to do it....
