Earlier I wrote a somewhat cryptic verse about "Two Wheels!" Antagonistic to some, visionary to others, and there's always the suspicion I got into the mushroom stash (I wish)! Anyway I was waxing nostalgic about the enhanced deterioration of my hands and grip. Motorcycling for me is a last...

Dust behind, moments abride, parts and pieces we ride. Weather permits or bends to will, 2 wheel blast is a line gathering. Hit the road, sputtering carbs, but no stopping the unabridged soul. Pieces gathered, strewn away, cast about in lines broken to the fore. Riding today in PA; 2 wheels...

Give me examples of best advice. One that sticks with me is, "Shut up and lift!" You? Advice...

Finally, a Swede I agree with! https://sputniknews.com/art_living/201611241047778364-swedish-model-squats-man-back/?utm_source=adfox_site_41917&utm_medium=adfox_banner_1876480&utm_campaign=adfox_campaign_626004&ues=1

So, as life moves in its snail pace forward and resistance builds agin, we do with as we can. The past 2 months have seen walls enclosing me with limitation. My hands are locking up. The knuckles of my middle fingers of both hands have been locking up every time I bend my fingers. WTF? Is it my...

Just had a piece of my nose cut off, tricep cut off, and calf cut off. I did not need those pieces. I refused lidocaine, "Just cut me and burn em," I said! The cancer on my nose was there for 6 months and the burden was heavy. "Cut and burn," I said. Life goes on. Now I'm freed up to do with...

Would rather chop wood! A year away from the chitter-chatter has done me well. I embrace quiet, discounting sound other than from activity, and for once in my life feel perfectly intact without others' opinion. Perfect point to start a new training program. Got a hair cut today then ran the...

Started lifting 37 years ago, and although I have been a competitive athlete since 1966, I am presently in the longest period since; where I have not worked out in any respect in 18 months. (Discount a 1,550 mile motorcycle road trip for my partners of two wheels!) well here's the funny...

On sale at Lowes: perennials and snow blowers!

Been riding the motorcycle A-Lot lately. Ok, ok, "Yes, I installed two new tires!" Ha! Anyway some Jeepy-Jeep drove past me today while I was waiting for traffic. Because I was rear-ended a few years ago in stop-n-go traffic, I don't stop right behind vehicles anymore, just to the one or other...

Yesterday I went to my daughter's Time Trials Event for Winter Swimming, where the swimmers get a beginning season time for each event so they know where they stand. It also lets the coaches choose their roster. Anyway, my 10year-old daughter did very well. She now stands for 10 and under...

Two weeks ago I tried unsuccessfully to start my motorcycle so I could drive to a friend's garage to work on it. I tried to move my truck closer to jump the battery when my clutch slave cylinder collapsed, darn! I wasn't upset though as the day before I drove over 3 hours round trip to my...

Was wondering this summer why my BMW seemed to be dogging, especially when accelerating. When I pulled off the air cleaner cover, this is what I found on my filter! Hickory nuts! Little mouse rascals used my air cleaner as a snack room over the winter!! New air filter installed and am...

It's a beautiful thing; new battery, voltage regulator, new starter and new starter relay. Current mileage: 63,320. Ready for a road trip!

So much for theory without application in shop. My earlier assumptions about my BMW R100 charging system failure were totally wrong. Well, you know what they say about assumptions! Anyway, I put it on the cycle lift and went through it step-by-step. Removed the front cover, then I removed...

The combination of "resting my ankle" to facilitate healing (sitting in lounge chair) and eating low-grade foodstuffs (favorite is Ritz crackers with Lebanon Baloney and Gouda cheese) and lack of general activity (practically limited to attending my two girls' sporting events) has permitted me...
