terminal is right...

new ride, and already messing with stuff...

just sprucing up the interior on the new ride :)

black smoke friday.

turkey day ride.

yup, 60 degrees, and the bike came home today. so that meant i had to get a little ride in at least. a little slick on the michelins though...

its been a hell of a ride. one owner, and done....

tearing the golf down for the last time this weekend. kinda bittersweet i suppose. and ran across this pic on FB. first roadtrip in the gti, may 2003. left minnesota with less than 1000 miles on it, and off to daytona beach we went....

so it begins..

so i went and did it. i have had it out for this bike since the first time i saw my pal Joe with it. and over the years, its progressed as hes owned it. punched out to a 1200, Ohlins remote res rear suspension, Buell wheel, tire, and braking componenentry, and fork, etc. even funnier, the bike more or less matches my old paint scheme, matte silver with bronze wheels :) more once i get it home, and get the list from him on all the specifics. listening to him list it all off reminded me of when people ask whast been done to my golf...

more stickers!

got some stickers with my new Kung Fu Tap and Taco hoodie from the folks at FTW.CO

so every time i now think i do some nutty shit, i will go get humbled by looking at FB pal Sam Eatons page. serious insanity, and makes me jealous every time i see a new pic :)

one day. love it!

1000hp, wet roads, and the manic crowd at H2Oi dont mix well i guess....

BSA aluminum rod failure.

this, folks, is the carnage created by rod bolt failure. not a car engine, but an old british twin, that we found out had already been over bored .040. so not only a new upper cyl casing, but new pistons and rods as well. ouch....
