Some of you know who this is.
Left half of the photo snagged from Dave Mickelson's Facebook Photos.


Was someone blow drying Willey's hair? Was he moving a a great clip?. He looks like he means business!

European motorcycle tour

“ It’s the atmosphere of being on the journey, there is nothing like being on a trip and going to bed knowing you just have to get up in the morning and ride more” Ewan McGregor, Long Way Down. I am going to tackle a ride I have wanted to do for a long time, albeit not as an adventure ride but exciting for me none the less. I am going to do my first European motorcycle tour. I had

GRAB LIFE BY THE HANDLEBARS

Ride to Live, Live to Ride.

I saw a Harley Davidson dealership billboard today.
It said "Grab Life by the Handlebars".
I'd Never heard that one before.
Thought it was mighty cool.

Winter riding apparel review

Operation Visibility rolls on to part two with my choice of new riding gear. I have had new winter riding apparel on my shopping list for some time now. Last few years I have slowly moved away from having one basic riding outfit and trying to adjust it up or down for the seasons like many riders here do to having a selection of garments. Good gear is just so cheap now. The dealerships here

Deltran Battery Tender Junior Review

I got a Deltran Battery Tender Junior for my motorcycle.
This little gem self maintains your battery. It cycles on and off on it's own when needed, unlike most trickle chargers. All you have to do is plug it in and walk away. Your battery will be ready to roll when you are.


It has a small compact size. Leave this end plugged in to the wall by where you park your bike.

The photo below shows a discrete little plug in that you attach to your battery and leave the pigtail for easy quick accessibility.

I installed mine in about 5 minutes- start to finish. It was super simple. As you can see in the photo below, I left a little extra length on the plug in end so I can pull the cord out for easy connections.

Just tuck back in for a discrete look.

This is so simple yet so convenient. I would recommend this to anyone.
If you are interested in getting one of these, I found mine at Jafrum.com.
It was shipped in days and this product sell for a fair price.

A winters ride

Went for a ride today and at 8 degrees that is officially a winters morning so I got to test my new ride gear also, more of that in my next post. I tried but I just can’t get interested in the Northern roads, riding the same old over and over seems mighty popular but I sure as hell don’t understand why people want to do that. I like variety. I skipped my usual fuel and embarkation point of
