I have been so focused on the politics of Trump these days that I completely missed that Robert M. Pirsig had passed a few days ago. That is sad in many ways. First of all, why spend so much time on the shit show of the Trump administration, when I could be spending... Continue Reading →
Sunday morning ride by HC Allen (filming) and HC Brian (High Vis) on our way back from a quick jaunt to Redwing, MN. This is a gorgeous ride that takes you through the small hamlet community of Welch Village along the Cannon River. The roads are two lane and they are in great shape.... Continue Reading →
I finished up my little DIY project to be able to cary some extra petrol. I don't think it turned out so bad. It was all made by scrounging up the parts from odds and ends laying around my garage. The next thing I need to do is get it mounted on my bike, which... Continue Reading →

Fits perfectly into my saddle bags, quick and sturdy set up as well! Gonna... Continue Reading →
I needed a little extra organization in my saddle bags. Looking over the intraweb I ran across somebody who added a shelve into their panniers. It got my brain a humming and away I went. With nothing but scrap parts in my garage I was able to put together this little shelf. Now I can... Continue Reading →
A little prep never hurt anybody! Besides I can figure out the best place for a bottle of medicinal bourbon. I had more room than I thought, or am I not packing enough? Plenty of time to go over the necessites! 64 more days!
