Yesterday, I got my first ever puncture (courtesy of a rather large masonry screw) on my way into work. It probably happened about halfway in to my commute but surprisingly, it wasn’t until I was riding back from my dentist appointment about an hour and a half later until I felt something was wrong. The […]
I’m Getting a New Rear Shock!
Because my BMW is as jiggly as a belly dancer, I will soon have one of these coming to me. After nearly 26,000 miles, my original OEM rear shock is just about useless. The husband says I’m lucky to have gotten that many miles out of it. I say I’m glad the husband can do […]
Observations on Motorbike Commuting
Semi trucks….why must they be on the road in such high volume during rush hour? They’re driving for work – they can’t enjoy being stuck in traffic. People late to work are the most dangerous people on the road. They’re the epitome of no fucks given. Tired people driving before caffeinating are a close second. […]

This Little Girl Reminds Us Why We Ride Motorcycles This is pretty awesome, I gotta say 🙂
Life in the Land of Joy
I have just about a hundred miles on my Scrambler now. Enough to be through the engine heat/cool cycles recommended for break-in, but nowhere near enough to be complacent (if one can ever be truly complacent on two wheels) on the newest resident of our garage. Still, I have some general impressions. Throttle – some […]
The Obligatory Red Room Photo
I didn’t get fireworks, but I did get an awesome Red Room Photo before I roared off from Moto Corsa…

New Bike Day Is The Best!
Hooray for New Bike Day! My new Scrambler has finally come home, after a 3+ month wait, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s so lightweight compared to my BMW! I’e already added in frame sliders and some aftermarket Acerbis handguards with LED auxiliary lights, since I do plan on splitting my commuting time between this […]
Gear Review: Shoei GT-Air
Gear Review Time! TL:DR – If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up. I’ve had my new Shoei GT-Air Wanderer for about a month and a half or so now, and I figured it’s about time for me to write up my thoughts on my new lid. Weight – this is a […]
No Car…No Worries!
We’ve officially been carless now for three weeks. And it has been three weeks of awesome. I do still occasionally look out my window and think for a split-second that someone has stolen our car, but then I remember. Wheeling the motorbikes out of the garage is so much easier now that I don’t have […]
