Another Sunday, Another Car Show

A friend and I rode our motorcycles down to Tubac yesterday for the annual Santa Cruz Valley Car Nuts Collector Car Show. As it does every year, the Tubac Golf Resort opens up its grounds for the show. If you ride down on a motorcycle you get to park on the grass right next to [...]

Looking Back, Looking Forward

What a portentous title for a blog post! Someone stop me before I start posting “top ten whatevers of 2012″ or “new year’s resolutions for 2013″ lists. So, no: not looking back, nor will I make promises I won’t keep. Load of bollocks, all that.

What’s up today, New Year’s Eve? Later this afternoon I’ll [...]

But Who’s Counting?

I told Donna I’d cook tonight. What I have in mind is chicken satay, which I like to serve with a sweet & sour cucumber salad and frites. Since we had neither cucumber nor potatoes I stopped at Safeway.

Oh, I picked up some flowers for Donna, too, seeing as how it’s [...]

I’m doing catch-up blogging this morning … i.e., leftovers … [...]

My great Pauls are Bunyan, Ru, Ryan (strictly for his ironic value, Darrell explained), [...]

Car Show Photoblogging

I rode over to St. Gregory’s Preparatory School this morning for the annual car show. As usual, I ignored the muscle cars and concentrated on the oddballs and orphans that always catch my eye. Click on the thumbnails to view larger photos on Flickr.

My Not-So-Wild-One Motorcycling History (Updated)

Update (9/2/12): This is an older post, written in September 2008. I’ve updated it twice, once to replace some stock images with photos of the actual machines I owned, and again today to add the latest bike, the Ducati I’m fixing up for my daughter Polly.

Sean Hannity Must Be Proud

When I bought my new Honda Goldwing in 2001, I joined an online Goldwing forum. As a new owner I found the forum useful: readers posted maintenance tips and reviewed after-market accessories. After the first couple of years, though, members ran out of new topics and the forum began to drift away from its original [...]
