Of course, this has to be the No Fooling Ride as it happened on April Fools Day. However, as long as it has taken me to get it onto this page it should perhaps be called ‘The It’s About Dang Time Ride’… Excuses, excuses… One of the things, that takes me so long to get…
Rides
Nathan and Yankee Jim’s Road
A great ride that I went on with my friend Nathan.
The Lakes – A Ride with Sergey
A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to go on a ride with a truly wonderful man and his friend up to Tahoe, or at least that is where we wanted to go. More on that in a bit. This all started because one of my favorite places to go and spend money…
Sailing Away – Amazing friend, Amazing Boat
So in the past, I have stated that I would at times be talking about things other than the Bean. Now is that time, so let us sail away with an amazing friend on an amazing boat. Through an amazing set of coincidences, I have been reacquainted with an old friend, Craig W. The story…
Shenandoah Valley Ride
Once upon a time in a valley far far away went four chuckleheads merrily on their way. Yup, that’s about it, at least the chuckle-head part. But oh what a great ride it was, and without further ado, video, and pictures to prove it. The long and winding road The four of us, Cory, Matt,…
Napa Ride – Fast, dirty, interesting.
You need to start the new year with a bang and what better way to start than to play cat and mouse with a couple of friends who are GSA riders and pros. Fast, dirty, interesting, yup, all of the above.
Yankee Jim – Blast with Bro
I wished I could say it was a bright and sunny day, it wasn’t. However, it was a perfect day for a blast with my brother up to Yankee Jim Rd near Forest Hill. Saddle up with Bean and my brother on his GSA 1250. First stop, the Ponderosa Bridge. And the weather, it was…
Comfort Items – or how I made Bean even better
Taking an almost perfect motorcycle and making it even better is not a task for the weak of heart. It is not like starting with a blank canvas, it is more like walking on a springy diving board and taking a big leap. When I first saw Bean it was love at first sight. When…
The San Francisco Cookie Runs
Yummy, cookie. Every now and again I get a real serious Jones going for some cookies. Not just any cookie, but fortuneless fortune cookies from a little shop in Chinatown down in San Francisco. So not only do I get a bag, or two, or three, of cookies, I get a nice day ride that…

Lights, Camera, Action – Big Time Lighting
You are out and in the serious boonies bouncing along at midnight doing just fine thinking, ‘ya I got this’ who needs to see down the road, anyhow? Suddenly the trail takes a hard left, and you think to yourself, ‘man I wished I saw that coming’ as you tumble down into a ravine at…
Crashers – The need for Engine Protection
My new ride Bean, so what do I think will get bashed first? Looking at Bean I realize the heads are the most expensive thing sticking out there so that will be my starting point. My bro has a 1250 GSA, which is a monster and I look at what is stock and the things…
