Non-Moto: Ice Boats on the Bay
It’s still cold, icy and salty out on my little patch of island. So, after breakfast today we headed out to watch the ice boats that run on the bay. I’d never seen them...
Sights from the Road: UFO Car
Kenny and I used to ride by this curious buggy now and again. Sadly the mystery mobile is no longer parked at the bar near the old Kings Park Pyschiatric building. I snapped these back in 2004 and just happened to find them on my photo drive tonight. I thought they were too good not to share~
Non-Moto: A Walk in the Woods
It was a gorgeous winter day out yesterday. Kenny and I spent a few hours just moseying around the Muttontown Preserve. After re-reading The Great Gatsby and Nelson DeMilles book The Gold Coast I have found great curiosity in the estates and homes that have in the past and in some cases still pepper the relatively small area known as Long Islands Gold Coast.
Non-Moto: Fake Plastic Love
Do you know that song Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead? I don’t know why but I can’t move passed the idea that the trees are fake plastic and not fake comma plastic trees. I...
Non-Moto: Baitacular
I don’t really know if Baitacular is really a quality that I would ever personally strive to achieve, but, okay. I suppose there are equally idiotic adjectives floating around out there in common-speak. Just...
Church Sign: Only Turkeys Don’t Give Thanks

Too Good to Let it Go
I went out for my first ride in three weeks this past Monday. I popped out of bed, happy that it was a holiday and knowing that all of my responsibilities were suspended for...
Look What I found on the Road
Driving along, I could smell the sweet stink of that two-stroke as it buzzed it’s way along the Expressway, long before I could see Kenny.
River Road Train Tunnel – Then and Now

The Dukes of Hamptons
I thought for sure I’d find Roscoe P. Coltrane on the other side of the sign. He must’ve been chasing after those crazy Duke boys again.
Mufflerman 2.0: Insulating Foam Roadside Sculpture
Roadside sculpture made out of what appears to be insulating foam, holding a muffler.
Water, Water, Everywhere
This island has so many of the parking areas near the water sewn up tight so that you have to pay, be a town resident or simply aren’t allowed to park at all. There...
Sights from the Road: God Bless the Kooks
Can you imagine just how boring this world would be if it weren’t for the kooks? Thank sweet baby Jebus for those offbeat weirdos who build junk towers, drive furry cars, decorate the lawns of their million dollar properties with dinosaurs.
