Passin out the candy

I live in a newer construction residential development, thus where with out exaggerating, the kids will get bussed in. They can clean me out of a bag of 300 treats in a matter of an hour and a half. There will be a constant streaming line with little to no breaks, until the little kids are gone. Except for the little kids which we buy good treats for, we buy cheap small stuff...

I've come a long way

I was rummaging through some photos, and saw a picture of a motorcycle tank and fenders that I painted when I was at Tech school for auto body, and paint way back in 1991.I did my very first Harley Davidson custom paint job for a guy who was going through the heavy equipment mechanics class next door to the Auto Body Shop class. He had a 1200 Sportster that he got a new tank...

emmissions, global warming, and our carbon foot print as bikers

I am a believer in global warming. I used to not be one until recently watching a show on it. I went on the theory that I live in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes. It did not become the land of 10,000 lakes for no reason. It is from being carved out from glaciers, and the pooling up of water was originally, and some still is glacial. They have been tracking "global warming"...

'Bout the same time each year.I usually end up working on some kind of project such as landscaping around the yard, painting a room inside the house,...

Vigilante Justice

My friend Daren e-mailed me this clip. It was named Vigilante Justice. I thought fitting since we just spoke recently about vigilante justice on Son's of Anarchy. This clip is also great because it addresses the upcoming election. It's from the show Boston Legal. I must admit, I don't watch the show religiously, but have caught a few episodes while channel surfing. This clip...
