Check out the new Roehr superbike, looks sharp and more importantly… fast! Wonder how it’ll stack up against a Buel 1125 or 12R.

Nothing like last minute notice but it IS System Administrator Appreciation Day so where is my tribute of coffee and jerky??
Yeah, right…

There have been several changes to the VTX in the last couple of months. Tour pak, fairing (review coming soon) and even more in the last few days. Several months back I tracked down a reasonably priced shaft final drive off of a VTX 1300. The 1300 final is geared higher which means no more […]

We most certainly won’t be sleeping through any weather alerts. When our weather radio goes off Scout hears that voice talking and is very unhappy and lets us know it. He just knows there is someone in the house that doesn’t belong and is quite upset that he can’t come in and eat them… hard […]

Can you imagine if the Republicans blocked a mailer being sent out by Democrats because they didn’t like the content? I can easily imagine the outrage over “censorship” and “blocking access to their constituency”.. But that only applies if the Repulicans do it to Demcratts (which has never happened in my recollection) but […]

As a life long Hoosier I am yet again totally ashamed Senator Dick Lugar is a Hoosier. I’m doubly ashamed that he belongs to the Republican party.
The defense spending bill before the Senate contained an amendment to give state issued carry permits the same legal application as every other state issued legal document […]

We now know that the climate alarmism has cost the American tax payer so far, $79 billion. When an oil company group pays for research and comes to contrary conclusions they’re dismissed because the research was funded by oil companies. But not when the research that backs one of the largest fascist power grabs […]

The 68 degree high temp today breaks the coldest temp on this date by 7 degrees. Now you know why they don’t talk about Global Warming anymore, but “Climate Change”. Which is redundant….

There have been news programs attempting to illustrate how it is nearly impossible for an untrained civilian to defend themselves against a determined attacker. Never mind that in the enactments they aired they used professional firearms instructors as the aggressors. Problems is that criminals are cowards, not professional instructors which is why in the […]

Interesting, Could we be wrong about global warming?
“In a nutshell, theoretical models cannot explain what we observe in the geological record. There appears to be something fundamentally wrong with the way temperature and carbon are linked in climate models.” says oceanographer Gerald Dickens, study co-author and professor of Earth Science at Rice University […]

Seeing the headline about Airbus jets crashing more often recalls an old pilot axiom a commercial pilot friend repeated to me only recently: If it ain’t Boeing, I ain’t going…

Today marks 2 years and almost 40k miles riding my Honda VTX 1800 Retro. This is how she looked when I brought her home that first day.

Two years later a lot has changed. Some things have changed, then changed again!

All and all I’ve been very happy with the bike. The mill is what I was […]

About that Peak Oil thing… not so fast….

So now the Nanny State England will try to make illegal to sell “energy drinks” to those under a certain age because a Boy collapsed with chest pains after ‘downing’ one. How about some causation probable cause here folks, before you go off half cocked. Again.

The Wall Street Journal has an informational piece on Honduras at the Tipping Point which covers not only current events but how we came to be here and who is pulling the strings. The reporting on Honduras has largely been toting the Chavez agenda even here in America where we should be standing up […]

The US media has been circumspect concerning the events in Honduras this past week. Here we have a democratically elected leader who overstepped his constitutional bounds and was slapped down by the Honduran Supreme Court. Naturally the Dictators Club (United Nations) has also decried the ousting of Zelaya irregardless that it was lawfully done. […]
