  • Awesome Article!

    I read this and yelled “YEAH!” Then I looked awkwardly at my co-workers and sat back down …

  • CB For Sale (SOLD)

    SOLD!   So, it seems that the thing I liked most about the CB project was the project, less the riding. So, I’m selling the CB in order to start the next project! Somebody gets a sweet CB restoration and I get space in my garage for the next one. See here for some pictures…

  • Out and about

    Took the CB out today after a little not-charging incident over the weekend. Here it is at the parking garage at my satellite office. Ride is good but buzzy. May have to put some kind of vibe dampeners in the bars.

  • Habanero Woes!

    After 2 1/2 years of grooving on the Habanero Ti ‘Cross frame, I got a crack! I don’t race ‘cross, or take it on single-track, so I don’t think it’s abuse. I know everybody says JRA (just riding along), but really, this isn’t me! Here’s the pics. You can tell me in the comments if…
