It?s been a good eBay week

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:48:00 +0000

From On Two Wheels - As I blogged about previously, I?m not really into customizing my ride ? or at least I wasn?t until I got my Dyna. It must have something to do with that famous Harley mystique that forces owners to no sooner get their dream machine in the driveway than they want to start customising. There?s just something about H-D that says, ?I?ve got the bike I?ve always wanted. Now how can I change it?? Which reminds me of that old story about the fundamental difference between men and women: a

Dire Straights

From Tread Life - Twenty-three years ago today, I had one of those life-changing?almost life-ending?moments that can sometimes divide your life into ?before? and ?after? stages. In 1986, someone at Cycle Guide got the idea to round up a number of current bikes, take them all to Willow Springs Raceway, and try to find the best-handling one in the bunch. So one day we all trooped out to Willow, a track I never liked much and liked even less before the day was out. The drill was
