One of the things I did when I was young was design stuff. I aircraft, cars, boats, and bikes. I remember designing sport bikes a lot… and a few choppers. All my dreaming about a bike had me doodling a little, and then that lead to me running though images of motorcycles… and then I found it. The bike that is just like I would have designed myself. My dream bike.

My last long ride
Many years ago I had a sport bike. I rode it from southern Utah up to SLC, and then east into the Uintah Basin. Normally, this would have been a great cruise save for two small problems. Continue reading My last long ride
Motorcycles
For the last few years, the itch to get another motorcycle has been uncontrollable. Well, Saturday that itch came to a head and I actually went out looking for a bike.
I found one. The question is do I pull the trigger on it or do I let it go. It’s an older bike, in great condition… the style I like, the size I want… Even if it is a V-Twin. It’s getting about 50 miles to the gallon, which is much better than my truck which I think gets about 3… or at least it feels like it.
If I want to “Run out to Salt Lake”, that trip costs me about 140 bucks. On this bike, it would cost about as much as a good Sandwich. Which means getting out there to take care of business actually makes some business sense. And with Crusader’s growth, I’m going have to get out there more often. Not for Training Days, because I’d still have to bring the truck, but for other things… like helping Joe get orders processed, Slipstream made, all that. And, hey… Get some 5 Guys Burgers because I just freaking feel like it. Can’t do that in my truck.
If something happens like I want it to happen tomorrow or the next day – I’ll get it.
