I’ve been putting off doing the smart’s brakes since I got that Yamaha U7E. The reason for it is because I remembered that my right wheel’s rotor still had its locating/locking bolt. With me needing to drive 5 hours down to get to the start of the Gambler 500, I can’t wait any longer.

I shouldn’t do anything important on Mondays.

My janky Honda Elite has gotten even more janky! I was up until 2am last night wiring up my electrical mods and doing some maintenance.

After Imperator Slowiosa III’s maiden voyage I snapped the key off in the ignition, rendering it dead. Finally, it’s back and better than ever!

It’s been a while since I last bought a bike. I generally feel this is a good thing. I have a collection of toys I really love from my Goldwing to the CBR F3 I will ride through June and I don’t want to sell any of them. With that said, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been looking for any cool finds...

Well, I’ve always wondered what a Chinese Grom tops out at, turns out it’s 50-55 with this dude riding it.

Jez’s article about the harassing DoorDash guy reminds me of my own unfortunate encounters from rapey Uber drivers (ugh) to people so obsessed with me they know my dead name.

With two weeks until the Gambler 500, I better get started on this thing!

With the fixed-ish front forks the GS takes on an even sharper lean when parked. Uh, I really really don’t like that. While I’m figuring out what stand I need to get I’m rigging up a temporary solution.

I accidentally accomplished A LOT this week and this weekend wraps it up neatly in a bow.

After playing with the idea of my own dedicated Kinja motorcycle blog and largely forgetting about it, I’ve decided to take my motorcycle adventures to Out Motorsports!

I’ve thought about turbocharging a Chinese scooter before...but this...this is...wow.

I have some stuff rattling around in my head today and had my first close call of the year.

The Goldwing was a fantastic way to start the season. However, it’s time to switch up the wheels. The return spring on the Wing’s rear brake just broke so I used it as an excuse to do a storage swap. Out comes the ugly duckling Suzuki GS850G!

I brought home my first vehicle without an engine!

Here’s an update for everyone with a decent bit of good and bad news.

It’s been a couple years since I’ve gotten a family photo of all my toys. Last time I did this I only had three cars and they were all under one roof. Well, I kinda grew the hoard since then. Since I’m no longer moving I’m going to make this happen! Here are a few updates!

Well, the time has finally come! I want to get a trailer to haul around my bikes. Why now? Well, I looked up where the Gambler 500 is starting this year and it’s over a 5 hour drive. Well then..
