Devil's Ride

Hm. A show about some guys who wear matching jackets hanging around together, getting kicked out of clubs in the Gaslamp, beating up a photographer on the sidewalk for taking pix of their old ladies, squabbling amongst each other, attracting police attention.And sometimes going on rides where they ride two in a row next to each other, so if someone snorts a bee and wobbles, guys are gonna go down.They make a deal about being veterans. But not if they leave the seat down. Guys are lucky women…See More

Did I Say I Wanted to Wrench?

My bike is testing me. I replaced the coil.I installed weird silicone gaskets and finally got them to seal.Hot stuff, eh?So I'm riding north from downtown, got off on Morena Blvd. get to a light and the bike dies. Started it up, it's puttering and limping. Darn it! I look down, one sparkplug cable had come off, probably caught in the massive cuff of these ridiculous jeans I got for Xmas.I was in the Army, and we don't wear bellbottoms!Anyway, I reached down, reattached the cable, bike runs…See More

Silicone: not just for strip clubs any more

After I'm done laughing about the irony of titty bars being referred to as "Gentlemen's Clubs," I will address my current bike issues.HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! <SNIFF> Okay, I'm done now. Really, I am. "Gentlemen." Snork.So I was heading out a couple of weeks ago, and the R65 known as Zombiecycle died right at the bottom of the hill. It was as if all life had fled, and so it was. Pushed it to the curb, where the helpful guys at Mission Bay Automotive came out and discovered no spark in the spark…See More

Neil Perl Inquiry

I got this inquiry from a historian in Kingman, AZ. We initially got connected through my grandfather's photographs, which were made into postcards. One of those odd things, he works for the Kingman historical society museum. They had mines or something. Average temp in summer is 115. Ever been? "Have ever heard of Neil Peart, the drummer (as well as lyricist) of the Canadian Rock band RUSH? He is an avid solo and very a introspective and quiet person who has taken many motorcycle and bicycle…See More

It's a 1968 BMW with a sidecar from the early 50s. How early? It has a machine gun mount on it.…

Closer to Airworthy

Gentlemen,

Last Sunday, I went on a bus ride to gawk at billionaires in Palm Springs. Hootie's replacement R65, which is part Hootie around the tank, seat and front wheel areas, also inherited Hootie's extra tiny R65 battery. You can stuff a full size battery in there but it is not easy and you don't get the handy under-seat tray. No room.

 

So Hootie's battery sat in the dead bike for a couple of months and lamely, I neglected to unhook it. So we get back from a 3.5…
