Big Money Rally…CA, NV, AZ, NM, TX as weather allows!
I never thought I’d need motivation to go for a motorcycle ride, however this winter has been one where even though the weather wasn’t bad, I just wanted to hole up and vegetate. I haven’t been motivated to do art, to do much knitting or even to get into some fine cooking, so when I…

How effective is rider training??
Streetmasters Precision Cornering Workshop I read an interesting article in MCN last month by Ken Condon who is a well known MSF RiderCoach as well as the author of Riding in the Zone: Advanced Techniques for Skillful Motorcycling.

What a long strange trip it’s been…
This morning out of nowhere, the Grateful Dead appeared in my head’s musical archive and I began humming “Truckin” for no good reason. It seems my psyche is torn, between heading for the open road or hanging in the safety of my home studio thinking about all the art I haven’t been doing. “Sometimes the…

My friend Lois Pryce posted this adorable photo of FB this morning and I just couldn’t believe how cute it was and had to share. I believe it needs a caption. Got any ideas??

BMW Motorrad motorcycle assembly 2014 Berlin plant: one 1200GS coming right up!
They make it look so easy…but then look at the place, the tools and the manpower. I don’t believe I saw one women in the entire 9 minute video, not working nor draped 1/2 naked over the bike. Oh ya, that comes later. 😉
