  • I did a thing …

    So, after nearly 2 years of (pretty much only) working, I decided I needed a hobby. So, I got this. 2001 VTR. I had a ’98 (I think) and regretted selling it. So, when I found this one in great shape with awesome sounding exhaust, I said “yes” to the bike. Of course, it is…

  • Arctic Spring – Night Snowmobiling

    There was an outing that was on the itinerary that escaped Jen’s attention to detail – a snowmobiling outing after dark with dinner (link). Snowmobiles? Driving them? Not for some of us.

  • First “Recreational” Ride

    I’ve been riding a little to work and such. Today I rode out to Excelsior and back. Nice ride. The bike is a little buzzy – it’s a 30+ year old 750! I kind of expect it to “have some character”, but no leaks or breakdowns! Here are some pics with the nicer camera and…

  • Out and about

    Took the CB out today after a little not-charging incident over the weekend. Here it is at the parking garage at my satellite office. Ride is good but buzzy. May have to put some kind of vibe dampeners in the bars.
