Chick Bike
The Speed Triple could never be called a ‘pretty’ bike. With it’s naked, aggressive looks it comes off totally butch, totally masculine. That is of course until it’s sporting a fluffy pink unicorn.
Back in the Game
For me, motorcycling is and always has been an emotional journey. I can’t disengage the act of riding the bike from the all encompassing connection to the world, my feelings, to people that it...
Non-Moto: St. Johns in the Wilderness
Harriman State Park – Nestled on a small parcel of land inside the park on a turnoff that is easy to miss when you’re zipping by on the bike, sits St. John’s in the Wilderness.
Non-Moto: Good Eats
Sunday afternoon I had the opportunity to meet up with an old friend whom I haven’t seen in nearly 20 years. Meetings like that immediately make me take stock of my failures and shortcomings....
If Only My Wife Were This Dirty
I snapped this pic as we slowly drove along the expressway on our way home from NYC last evening. Each day can be like a game. You never know if loving people or hating...
Subliminal Messages, Anyone?
My self-imposed hiatus must be close to coming to an end. I’m starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Now even the cars on the expressway are trying to lure...

To Novos with Love
Back in the olden days, before the dawn of time and when dinosaurs still roamed the land (like 2003…) Kenny found the wonder in a delightful little machine called.. The Ruckus.
All I want for Christmas

Remembering California: The Sundial Bridge
Found in Redding, California the Sundial Bridge is a pedestrian footbridge built by Santiago Calatrava. Seeing this was one of the daliances that I had when we were riding in California. You wouldn’t think that riding would help to feed my love of art and architecture, but so far its been a nice way to get out and see things 🙂

Tales of an Awkward Nerdy Girl
This evening after reading about it on a forum I took a ride out to the town of Oyster Bay to check out the car cruise night that they hold. I knew a bunch of folks from a forum I lurk on would be floating around and I thought if I ran in to them, great, it would be nice to meet some new riders. But, I left the house completely expecting to not be able to coordinate meeting strangers in a crowd, which is exactly what happened.
Aprilia RS250: Fogging for Mosquitos
My darling boy fogs for mosquitos on his way in to the office today. I was hoping to get a candid picture of him leaving without him seeing me. I’m pretty sure that I wasn’t detected through the cloud of blue smoke as he got his little Italian girlfriend hot. That right there is a boy in love.
Everything I Ever Needed to Know
… I Learnt onna Innernets.
I love reading Instructables.com. People do some pretty clever thing there. Of course I peruse anything that has a motorcycle tag slapped on it. I saw this tutorial today and thought it deserved a hi-five.
Crashing sucks. Buying new plastic sucks. This was an interesting response to a repair. I’ve been an advocate of using giant band-aid type stickers for plastic rash, so these stitches are a-ok in my book.
