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 [...]

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.
