- November 22, 2013, 13:15:19 PMWe got an inch of snow last night. Not much by Canadian standards, but enough to spoil my mood. Too early in the year to have that!!!. On the bright side, the clouds parted and the nasty white stuff melted off pretty quickly. They are predicting around 15 deg. for overnight, so with or without snow, it's winter...If we have an Indian Summer, both bikes are ready to go...just need a clear shot to the road. Sometimes it happens, mostly it doesn't.

- November 21, 2013, 10:02:20 AMSince it wasn't leaking (obviously) before they "fixed" it, even they should realize it is on their nickle to fix it. If not, a quick trip to your lawyer and a phone call from him should take care of it. You hope. Good luck on it.

- November 20, 2013, 20:57:44 PMSo city has decided to install water meters, came on Friday to install mine, they could not put it were they want it because the shut off valve is too high, ok so move it, ok they can do that, but now need to shut the water off at the city valve in the front............
They find the valve under about 18" of dirt, make a big hole in the yard, then they try notice the word try to turn off the water, the valve is rusted open...so they call the city to come fix it, City said we would be there next week, so Monday they come out I am not home......they "fix" it so when I get home I call them and tell them I have a rather large puddle in my front lawn. Told it is normal and will go away over the night, this morning it is a small lake so I call from work.....get home and they are pulling up as I get out of the truck, so then the 2 of the guys walk around play with the valve and yup it is leaking...duh ok.....now the issue is the leak on my side of the valve or theirs.....mmmmmmmm prior to them working on it, it was fine they came and did some work on the pipes and it now leaks......and who's leak is it....man......life is complicated....

- November 20, 2013, 18:38:12 PMThis was the first footage I had of my bike form the rear. I need to get a close up so when I get the chance I will mount a camera on the side looking back at the fender to get some footage. Everyone tells me my my is strange to follow at first. It freaks some people out.

- November 20, 2013, 12:04:59 PMMy brother had to ride back on it before it had a windshield, so with the amount of bugs he ate I couldn't give him too hard of a time about his HD preference.

- November 20, 2013, 08:32:37 AMMy Brother in law was always talking about how much the rear fender on my 800 moves up and down, well near the end of the summer I finally let him ride it, we swapped bikes....HOLY COW it does move a lot...lol...funny to watch it go......but he did not look as cool on it as I do so told him he has to develop the cool look and not to wear orange and black on my ride....

- November 20, 2013, 07:52:22 AMThat video just made me remember how odd the drifters look from the back with that floating rear fender. When I bought my bike I didn't have a license yet so my brother rode it back. It was odd seeing the saddlebags and fender and taillight moving around but not the rider. Just not what I was used to. Odd, but in a good way.
Although those streets look really smooth. If they are, I'm jealous.

- November 19, 2013, 21:38:38 PMNice video, good music. Took me a couple of minutes
to realize your on the wrong side of the road, but then again your
also on the other side of the planet. Would love to get down
there one day. And there is nothing wrong with a bit of self indulgence
once in a while.
