Since I've been banned from posting art here, I'll stick to motorcycles, skateboarding, beer, dogs and music. This video has most of those things. And maybe a little art too.

YOU WILL BE KILLED BY ROBOTS!!!

Tom, your sign is right! At least it is if you're traveling between Italy and China, and a cloud happens to pass over just as you're passing this solar robot driven car... I can't believe they'd let this on a public road.

The job of ultimate manliness.

Go to this link and check out a video of the new coolest job on the planet. Oh, you're a cosmonaut? Oh you're Steve McQueen? That's nice. I'm a motorcycle firefighter, and I'll be leaving with your women now.

Art Nouveau rules. Leos rule too.

what it's all about...

snagged from Tim White Photography

thoughts...

So the GS's battery goes dead now whenever the bike sits. This started happening on the last day of the BBC rally after a rainstorm the night before. What could possibly be draining power when the ignition is off? I tested the ignition key switch and it's fine. The battery is good - sealed and brand new 3 months ago. Unless of course it got toasted by a bad R/R, which I am checking as soon as I get some time...but how would the R/R drain power with the ignition off?

Anyone have any ideas?

On the upside, I spoke with a guy from Leakproof today and he's sending a set of replacement fork seals for free...

In the meantime, all these gremlins with the old GS have got me thinking about how nice it would be to have a dependable modern bike to take on the longer rides. I think something like this would do:



Minus the huge mirrors, rear fender and stock exhaust, of course...

it was a fun ride...

Wisconsin has some fucking killer roads. Not enough dirt roads tho....

Guzzi

I like the guzzi's lately.

Just for Dave

Some documentation of drunkenness just for Dave - me taking a beer piss in the world's scariest home-made galvanized steel urinal, about 4am Sunday morning at the BBC rally.
