There’s nothing like the camaraderie of a community. A lot of people from the biker community and enthusiasts attended the Harley-Davidson art show. The common thread, two-wheeled motorized vehicles. I had the opportunity to meet many of the artists who were part of the Art of Rebellion show. Each person’s work inspiring or inspired by … Continue readingPeople behind the Art of Rebellion show

Harley-Davidson is sponsoring a traveling art show that benefits the CUE Art Foundation. Last night the event was open to the public in New York City. Harley showcased their new 883 Sportster, which happened to fit me very well 🙂 Hmm, maybe this will be my next bike. More on the art to come…

Motorcyclists are sometimes referred to as “organ donors” for an obvious reason. There’s most likely nothing more dangerous on the roads and streets than riding motorcycles. The reality is, few people with driver’s licenses sign up to be organ donors, yet there is a waiting list of people waiting for organ donations. Regardless of the … Continue reading"Organ Donor"

I sold my car today. It’s sad. My car took me across the country and back. Lots of great memories. But now that I’m riding a motorcycle, the car isn’t needed anymore. I don’t have to take the subway for $2.25. And if I need an automobile, I can rent one through Zipcar. Thanks for … Continue reading*sigh*

I also had no idea about different brands: Arai, Bieffe, Shoei, Bell, HJC, etc. I kept hearing about … Continue readingThe Shoei RF-1000

Lane splitting is not legal in New York State, but I think it should be, especially because air-cooled engines need to be in motion to prevent from overheating. Did that once before. Riders split lanes anyway, passing slow or stopped traffic to get ahead. I haven’t ridden between lanes yet, but today I passed traffic … Continue readingLane splitting

Living in a town or city without a garage has an obvious danger for classic bikes on the streets: public exposure. I parked my bike at the end of my street a couple days ago, close to where my car was parked, because I had an appointment to show my car to a prospective buyer. … Continue readingParking safety

I had my first solo ride to Queens today to see my brother on his birthday. I avoided Queens Boulevard as much as possible, taking Greenpoint Avenue all the way from Greenpoint, Brooklyn, to 48th Avenue in Queens. On the way, it rained a bit, but just spit. The pavement stayed relatively dry. I wore … Continue readingGetting comfortable
