Nighttime Monkey Shot
Last night was chilly but lovely while out poking around. It’s still cold enough out that any riding that you do feels good, regardless of the quality.

Non-Moto: The Pearlroth House
The iconic Pearlroth House sits in the dunes all boarded up braced against unusually cold winds of winter that we’ve been having this year.
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.
Church Sign: Only Turkeys Don’t Give Thanks

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.
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.
To Tell The Truth: Will The Road You Are On Get You To My Place?
Will the road you are on get you to my place? …God I ride past this church sign all the time on the way in to town. Of all of the local church signs,...
Gimme Shelter
There is a sad irony about living on this island. Unless you’re a resident of the town the beaches are located in, most of the time, you can’t get near the water. ‘No Stopping...
Modern Snack Bar – Aquebogue, NY
Mmmm.. the Modern Snack Bar. Aside from their deliciously kitschy sign, the pie is amazing. Can i get an AMEN for pie?! Is that not the best sign in town? So Modern. So Snack-y....

A ship floating in the abyss
Do you ever feel like a ship floating out in the abyss. Almost invisible. Surrounded by things that all blend together. The clouds belong to the water and the water to the sky. You...
