Happy Halloween!

I saved this for Halloween. John Farr creates cool custom cycles and when I saw this I thought….wow! I can only wonder about the ride, but regardless…it’s the first custom cycle I’ve every really wanted.

Holy Six-Speed Batman!

I get the call that it’s ready…the six-speed is in and the bike is ready for pickup. I run down to the shop to pay for everything as well as pickup my Five Speed in the box. While I’m waiting for the paperwork to get written up (there are three repair orders for the warranty, the six-speed and the automatic chain tensioner I decided to also have put on) I decide to take the bike for one last drive.

Because of all the work done I qualify for free winter storage so since it’s supposed to snow any day…I figure I’ll just have them put her up for the winter and be done with it <sniff>.

So…I gather some winter gear (non-riding mind you) and in my sneakers I take off to ride with my new six-speed….Hot GODDAMN SHIT! She is riding like a dream!

Signs And Portents - The Future Of Being Able To Choose.

Received this article from a friend today: Puerto Rico Passes Strict Motorcycle Law.

For those not in the know, the NTSB has made a recommendation that all states enact a Universal helmet law: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/11/AR2007091101225.html.

Looks like the federal government is going to try for a National Standard for Motorcycle Helmets and a National Helmet Law. There are some interesting points that have come out since this has started:

Like the AMA, I know that wearing a helmet is a lifesaver but I believe in the right to choose. If we need to have a national helmet law it should be copied from Florida’s sensible helmet law: over 21 no helmet if you have medical insurance. Under 21, wear a helmet. It leaves the decision in adult hands and removes any burden on the taxpayer if the rider decides to splatter their brains.

Anyone Interested In A Five-Speed Transmission?

So there I am minding my own business riding last Thursday when I notice there is a rattle when I shift to third or down shift in third.

I swing by the shop and setup an appointment to have it looked at like a good boy. So…Saturday I’ll bing it in. I’ll loose one of the last good weekends before the snow hits, but I figure I can live with it.

So I decide to make a run to Girdwood (about 80 miles round trip) afterwards since my weekend riding is now curtailed. I decide to ride through the new roundabout (Anchorage has three roundabouts and I just love riding them) that leads to the Sweard highway…circle around and slingshot out - too cool!

I shift into third and…nothing. Nothing at all!
