Last Saturday marked my fifth year of riding a motorcycle. Riding is something that I had wanted to do for a very long time. I either lived in an area that would be statistically more dangerous to start riding in (Washington D.C. metro, for example), or didn’t have enough money to spend on a motorcycle […]
I sold my first motorcycle, a 2005 Yamaha FZ6, to my friend and co-worker Rocky almost a month ago. He has ridden it to work a fair amount, and it is nice to see Cylon in the parking lot. On Saturday, Rocky asked if I wanted to accompany him to Charlottesville. He needed to get […]
I purchased my first motorcycle, a 2005 Yamaha FZ6, four years ago this October. Aside from a motorcycle safety course and a not-so-much-fun experience as a passenger, I’d never ridden on a motorcycle before.

Every third Monday in June is national Ride to Work day. The object is to show what the impact would be if folks left their cars at home and rode in on their motorcycles, scooters, or mopeds. The theory is that traffic would flow better, people would use less gas, and parking would be more […]

I install the Vizi-tec “SupaBrake Flasher” brake light modulator on my 2005 Yamaha FZ6. Video and installation instructions included.
I review SW-MOTECH’s crash bar / engine cage for my 2005 Yamaha FZ6 motorcycle.
I’m several days behind on making updates on my trip to Georgia and back. I have a few things to discuss from a motorcycling perspective, some gear to review, and everything else … so instead of lagging even more on my posts, I want to show you some snapshots of my trip, and try to […]
Quick trip report, so far 🙂 Leaving Richmond Saturday morning — it had rained earlier in the morning but my trip was dry. Stopped in North Carolina to shake my legs and drink some water and coffee. The weather heated up pretty quickly and the wind was brutal from North Carolina until I hit Savannah. […]
