I found myself thinking today…well…screaming actually…but I was thinking too! Really!
Whilst riding a motorcycle, which is worse to find on the 270 degree, loop-2-loop, reverse banked, 60-year old smoothed concrete, high-speed exit ramp off of I-35…
1) Spilled diesel fuel?
2) Or the pile of sand the highway guys left after they threw it all over the [...]

She was watching me with that quirky smile…that one that means she’s either up to something, or she thinks that I am.
I stopped what I was doing. “What?”
She smiled and walked over to give me a hug. “I was just wondering what it must be like to have a normal husband.”
That took me back a [...]

I drove Big Iron, the 450 horsepower Dodge pick’em-up truck to work today.
Was it that I got rained on yesterday?
Nope.
Cold this morning?
Well, it was cold, but that wasn’t it either.
Apparently I’m getting old or something. Gad.
A couple days ago, on my way home, a step ladder fell out of the back of a [...]

We bikers have a saying, “Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly.”

Remember “Tootsie Pops”?
Memory. Smell. Cool morning air. Exposed to the elements astride my machine.
Powerful stuff.
Yeah, morning comes early around here. Five am and I’m already on the road, pushing the big cruiser hard down the lightly used freeways.
Cool and crisp…the first hint that fall is actually in the air. I can feel my speed…the slipstream [...]

(snnnniiiifffFFFFF). Yep, I can smell it.
I’m headed into east Texas to meet some friends for barbeque.
The bad news is I’ve got to work tonight.
The good news is that means lots of high-speed running on The Dragon.
Oh yeah…it’s going to be a good day!
I hope yours is the same!

Something over 300 years ago an English poet named Alexander Pope said, “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.”
I’ve always liked the quote…simply because to me, it means “No limits.”
Angels have no fear, you see.
I’ve always tried to live my life without fear. Mostly, I’ve succeeded. I’d like to think so anyway.
No fear. [...]

I had to run an errand yesterday that required Big Iron…the 7000 pound 400hp beastie…I simply did not have enough bungee cords to carry what I needed to pick up on The Dragon you see…
Besides, you’re supposed to start those cage thingies every once and a while.
After some searching to actually find the keys [...]

Referencing my tendency to modify my bike, my way, to suit me…in this case specifically referencing my “other than stock” rear tire:
A snippet from a recent email exchange…
Him: “You know you’re a test pilot don’t you?”
Me: “Yes. Yes I do.”
Him: “That doesn’t bother you?”
Me: “No, not at all. I’ve got news for you. I LIKE [...]
