A Canadian rider posts a query to an American Goldwing riders message board: I’m planning to tour central and southern Mexico this fall. Would like to hear from anyone who has motorcycling experience in Mexico. I’ll be starting from Toronto, Canada and will be inside Mexico 3 or 4 weeks. Any suggestions? Some of the […]
Recession life — you take three days off, throw in the weekend, and there’s your mini-vacation — it’s all many of us can afford these days. Thank God for weekends, and while we’re at it thank God for the labor movement of the early 20th Century, because if it weren’t for unions we’d all still […]
First ride on the motorcycle in a long time. And it has been a long time: the battery was nearly dead. I rode down to the corner for breakfast, then south to Sonoita and what the hell, another 20 miles to Patagonia, where I stumbled upon a car show. I always like the oddball cars, the ones people […]
I spent the morning in Ed’s garage, installing a new windscreen on my Honda Goldwing. From the day I bought the Goldwing there’s been a problem with the windscreen adjustment mechanism, which is supposed to hold it in the raised position. It never worked right: even on a short ride, the windscreen would slide down to […]
I met three buddies at a Tucson gas station at 8:30 this morning for a ride to the Cycle World Motorcycle Show in Phoenix. Good thing I choked down an English muffin at home first, because we rode two hours to Phoenix without a stop, spent two-and-a-half hours at the strangely food-free show venue, then rode […]
Spent the morning over at my friend Ed’s garage, helping another friend, Angie, put new cables and a brake line on her Sportster. Ed has an awesome motorcycle garage and probably every motorcycle tool known to man, including a really slick table lift – what a pleasure it is to work on a bike when […]
Our Saturday morning bicycle ride gets earlier and earlier. In the winter we started at 9:00 AM. Today we started at 7:00 AM, but it was already 95 degrees by the time we finished, so next week we’re starting at 6:30 AM. I suppose by the time daily highs reach 110-115 degrees, we’ll be meeting […]
I subscribe to a Honda Goldwing owners’ message board. Too frequently for comfort, members post messages that make you suspect that after they park their bikes for the night, they hang up their leathers and put on white robes. Like this guy, who wrote today: President signs E.O. for illegals to get FULL S.S. If a […]
