    Customer Service is NOT Dead....Thx Triumph

    14 years of tip overs finally took it's toll on the blinker lens of my '98 Tiger. A call to Ace Motorsports (my local dealer) gave me the bad news. They didn't have any in stock and neither did Triumph America. That meant ordering from Triumph in England and waiting forever. Chris at Ace...

    Transit of Venus across Sun's disk (very rare)

    Tuesday June 5th...... a rare (twice in a lifetime) event will occur. Venus will pass directly between the Earth and Sun (something like the last partial solar eclipse). Only, Venus will be just a small dot on the solar disk and the transit time will take a lot longer. So, don't put away your...

    Good Dad or Bad Dad?

    I was walking back to my bike after breakfast this past Sunday and saw this.... a pod of 3 Harleys with an 8 year old cutie perched on one of them. On the one hand, I give kudos to her dad for taking her for a ride with him and the boys. On the other hand, c'mon dad, put some protective gear...

    Star Gazing

    FYI: Those two bright stars in the western night sky are really Venus (brightest) and Jupiter. For the next week or so, they'll be getting closer to each other as viewed from Earth until finally the moon sweeps by them both in an incredible exhibition of and meaningful demonstration of the term...

    Just wondering what BARFers think about GOPROers who zoom through a group while using their cameras. Do you mind being tailgated? Do you mind being passed? Should some kind of etiquette be followed so that everyone's safety is not jeopardized? Whaddya think?

    Smile.....you're on video!!!!

    I've been playing with my newly acquired GoPro camera. I mounted it on my helmet and took it for a test ride on last night's commute home. Sure enough, a woman driving a Prius tried to change lanes right into me. Luckily, my H-D copbike has a really loud "cop horn" and she pulled back into...
