    We made it! (Just barely...)

    Let me preface this by saying, that I will never, EVER move cross-country again, unless it's for a job that's offering hundreded of thousands of dollars. It's been really hard, but doable. (As most things are when you will your way through them and refuse to give up.) But anyways, we're here...

    When DB's ride motorcycles...

    So I'm taking the cage to my old work to score some boxes as I'm moving back to Chicago, when I see some dooder on a supersport pass me up on the left-hand side. All of a sudden, a cop on the opposite side of the barrier throws on his cherries a ways down the street. The guy on the bike, who's...

    It's all about size...

    So I stopped to grab a Redbull and a couple of brews fer tonight at a local gas station. I walk out to my bike and there's a kid who looks about 18ish walking up to the doorway. He says nice bike as he's walking by, then stops and starts asking questions as he's interested in maybe getting a...

    Superstitions...

    I usually consider myself only *mildly* superstitious, but I just had a crow land on the tail of my bike right out front of my office window. I think I'ma invest in a gremlin bell... (Hopefully the bell shan't toll for me.) :eek: In the meantime, I'm gonna take it easy gettin' home...

    Being a tall, gangly dood...

    Makes buying a jacket suck. Essentially, I'm a large tall size, and it's pretty rough to find something in that size. I think I found one to fit the bill, though. Firstgear Mesh Tex Jackets - Competition Accessories It's mesh, as it's constantly over 100 out here, and it's silver. My...

    Color Coordination FTL...

    So. I really dig my Copper/Raven 2011 because the color is unique. However, it makes color coordination for mods and gear rather challenging. For the most part, I'm deciding on black and gun metal gray for colors. I plan on getting a jacket and overpants in the next week or so as I just got...

    Got her back! Woohoo!!!

    Dropped her off about a week ago for the 4k maintenance. (Prepaid when I bought it) Just got her back, and WOW! Ride's a lot smoother, shifting feels good (was starting to get a bit rough), and all around just popped on the road. Wifey was following me home from the dealership, but I kinda lost...

    Reinventing dumb luck...

    So... I'll preface this by stating that I wear gear (helmet, gloves, boots, some sort of jacket) basically 99.9% of the time. Now onto the story... Saturday I punched out of work and had to run to the ATM to grab some money for a co-worker, which is literally a block away. I figured, eff it...

    My First 2 Wheeled Love, Gone...

    Had to sell her. She needed work, and I live in an apartment and just don't have the time, money, or space to give her the love she needs. My uncle found her through some of his Harley buddies. $200 bucks for the bike, $300 to get her running. Not bad for a first bike. Had mostly good times, a...

    XK Glow LED Kit Operational!

    I both love *and* hate electric/lighting work. I love it because it's fun, hate it cuz it's so time consuming. Either way, here are the results. I'll take some better pics later on. It was late, rainy, and I just snapped some quickies with da phone. Looks better IRL. Time well worth it, tho. XD

    mmmMMMmmm Saddlebags...

    I got one for y'all. About 2 months after I got my bike, the sucker ate my Cortech saddlebags! I'm pretty sure I didn't secure them properly, (or the velcro popped off) but I'm going about 80 down the highway when all of a sudden my RPM's and MPH just start declining. Sharply. I pull off to the...

    New Group Under Communities! AZ and Surrounding States!

    Hey all! I noticed there was no group for the Phoenix/AZ/surrounding states area, so I done went and created one. XD I figured this would be a good place for us desert and mountain folk to get together and plan rides, share advice, and discuss the weather. (lol)
