Ahh, the beginning of Fall weather, little cooler in the morning, just enough for maybe some frost, and a little cooler evenings in the 50′s or so.  Makes for some perfect riding weather. Most people are Fair Weather motorcycle [...]

    Ever wonder why life likes to throw you fancy curveballs? I do.  I think it’s to keep the wit sharp. With consistency comes sloth like mental capabilities.  People don’t like change in general.
