    Sunday Romp

    Went romping on Sunday with the posse. About 12 of us met in Santa Rosa. The original plan and how I advertised the ride on the Facebook group was for noobs and baggers so I was going to stick to decent roads and a mellow pace. Didn't get any noobs or baggers to show up so the game was on...

    RIP Bruce Meyer

    Creator of the Meyer Manx dune buggy and off road racer extraordinaire. Got to meet him a few years ago. Stayed at the same hotel in San Jose del Cabo at the finish line of the Mexican 1000. Very warm and personable and told great stories about the good ol' days of Baja racing.

    Vstrom neurotics

    I read and participate in Stromtroopers, the Vstrom forum. I'm amazed at the amount of neurotic bike owners that post. Their concern with the minutia of bike ownership confounds me. Everything from the typical oil, air filter, air pressure, logging fuel mileage, etc. The stuff they install to...

    tie down and forks

    Does tightly strapping a bike on a trailer cause fork seals to blow out? I've always heard this but I don't understand why strapping a bike down would cause any more stress then actually riding it. I'm not talking strapping it down so the forks are fully depressed but enough to keep the bike...
