weekend ride

last year at this time, we were knee deep in snow, so i went to daytona. this year, the winter weather has been great for riding. i put a couple hundred miles on the harley riding around virginia's northern neck and then home to maryland...i also put a couple hundred bugs on the fairing so it must be spring.

really ready to ride

mr. harley and mr. suzuki are once again out of the trailer and ready to head over the hills and into the sunset.

bikes in the hood

years ago while visiting fort walton's air force museum i was intrigued by the finish on a stealth plane...finally, that matte style has made it to the commercial markets. not my favorite color (is black a color?), but the smooth, beach glass paint on this bike is nice!

today's problem: harley recall

yes, my bike has been recalled again, along with 300,000 others...this time for some break-light-over-heating-and-leaky-fluid problem. so back to the shop with mine, then my brother's.

bikes in my hood

just chilln...

africa bike week?

i did not know that...it actually seems more like a huge promo for harley: you can stay at the harley hotel...drive on the renamed-for-africa-bike-week 'detroit way'...visit the harley exhibits and sponsored shows: its all harley, all the time. that isnt a bad thing, mind you: 180,000 riders hanging out together, talking shop and having a good time is not a bad thing!

ocean city bike week

officially entitled delmarva bike week, ocean city is filled with bikes this weekend!

hope to join them soon...not sure if i'll ride the harley or the busa.

done the dragon

i have been wanting to ride the tail of the dragon since i heard about...and for my birthday, i did it! the entire trip down to deal's gap was windier than i anticipated, but the dragon was crazy curvy!

good times...great rides.

tail of the dragon or bust

on the blue ridge parkway headed to deal's gap to spin the harley on the tail of the dragon.

myrtle beach or bust

pete's bike is ready.

new windshield for the harley

i will be heading for myrtle beach in a couple of weeks for bike week-or bike-couple-of-days i still have a few things to do...today i cleaned out the trailer-even vacumed it-and got rid of a lot of trash that had accumulated over the winter. i tried to put a new, slightly taller windshield on the harley, but i didnt have the right tool. 

brother gets a harley

after weeks of mental anguish and thousands of hours of phone calls, my brother decided on a harley: a beautiful 2009 road king.

good choice!

ninja harley

today i left work early to shop for bikes with my oldest brother who will be going to myrtle beach bike week with the boys this year...

these  bikes from shi jinsong were not on his shopping list. 

hell hath no fury like this f-ing winter!

we got 30 inches  of snow last weekend during the 2010 blizzard, phase 1. i had to dig trails for the dog so he could take a piss. now its snowing again with 10-20 inches expected...and the 50 mile per hour winds make me glad i put the busa in the trailer with the harley...unless the roof caves in. i live in dc not in colorado: this is ridiculous.

snow storm...again

i had to pick the harley up from old glory saturday: it was there for a gas tank recall  and i had a back rest put on. i left the second the snow started, but by the time i was headed home with the bike, the beltway was dicey. when i got home, the driveway was so slick i had a helluva time getting the trailer back in. the busa was covered in snow.

looking forward to the weekend motorcycle ride

i have a big ride planned for this weekend on the harley...i hope it's like this.
