  • Another Year of Riding Winding Down

    Posted on by dp

    But this year never started. For the first time in 10 years I have zero miles ridden on the bike. A nagging problem of nearly frozen shoulder and bursitis and me being overly cautious has caused my bike to spend the entire year in the garage. Lordy I miss the highway. I have more mobility so if I don’t fall off the roof or slip on the ice this winter I should be able to get back out there.

    So this year’s memories will be of years gone by. Fortunately I have a nice place to visit old friends and old rides: http://thevirtualbarandgrill.com/gallery/dp_gallery. It’s full of summer smiles. And here’s one taken the day the bike followed me home from the dealer. It was a gorgeous day in May of 1999 and the backyard was the perfect setting:

  • Thoughts on a winter’s day

    Posted on by dp

    Was noticing the slight change in the weather as January gave way to February – it’s not warmer, there’s no sun shining through the low scud, but something feels different. I think my internal clock has noticed the hours of daylight are growing longer, and I hear more motorcycles than I have recently. Quite late one recent evening while laying in bed I caught the throaty growl of a Harley twin pulling the grade on I-90 a mile away. A long steady roar – somebody was braving the chill, and then it faded and was gone. Surely spring is closing in and I’m Jonesing for the road one more time…
