As some of you know, i rode about 400 miles last weekend. Apparently I was carry a few extra pounds of weight, not only on my body but also in my air filter. A mouse had been camping in my bike for at least the past winter. I can’t wait to get out today to ...

Song of the Sausage Creature by Hunter S. Thompson There are some things nobody needs in this world, and a bright-red, hunch-back, warp-speed 900cc cafe racer is one of them – but I want one anyway, and on some days I actually believe I need one. That is why they are dangerous. Everybody has fast ...

I cruised up the west side of the hudson river through cornwall, which is an amazing ride and induced some significant vertigo. bad photos to follow. after cruising ...

So, Red Sonja, the temporary name for my new-to-me Honda VFR (see ‘She Arrives Tomorrow‘) showed up yesterday. (temporary until I get the rhino liner sprayed on). I pick up the plates today. And the weather for the next seven days? Thunderstorms! It has been heavenly of late in the dear old Hudson Valley. Truly ...

Tomorrow, my new-to-me 1999 Honda VFR800 Interceptor arrives. I haven’t owned a bike since my 1997 Triumph Trophy 900 was impounded in the UK back in 2004 (that’s a long story). I’m very psyched. This is probably more bike than I need, but it’s likely the best all arounder out there. I looked at the ...
