The guys over at Choppahead are the kind of guys that girls love and moms fear. Based in Boston, these guys are old school hardcore/punk kids that decided to build bikes with names like Snotrokkit, Widow Maker, Destroyer, Muthaforker and Lucretia (my favorite!). They describe themselves as “raw, low-down, grimy, greasy, dirtbaggy, unsavory clusterfuck of [...]
I have been a busy, busy girl doing all sorts of fun stuff! Thursday night I got all dolled up and attended the kick-off party for the Boston Tattoo Convention. We schmoozed with lots of tattooed people, got tipsy from drinking Dewars, looked at art work, played Guitar Hero and oogled strippers (because nothing classes [...]
My plan for a long weekend road trip got kiboshed. I won’t go into detail because it really doesn’t matter. I did go for a little local ride through a couple of the coastal North shore towns: Salem, Swampscott and Marblehead. I took as many winding and turning roads and I could to get a [...]
Friday’s ride to Maine was nothing short of perfect. We left Salem in the morning, around 10:30-ish. The weather was perfect for riding. It was a little bit warm, but when the bike was moving it was very comfortable. The left photo is the story of my poor husband’s life: forever waiting for me while [...]
Can’t spend a lot of time blogging today. I finally have a day off and I’m taking a break from working on the new house to ride up to Ogunquit, Maine for the day. According to Google maps it’s only 59.3 miles and would take an an hour and thirteen minutes. But that’s if we [...]
First off, I’d like to say that I’m a very good driver. And I don’t mean in the Rainman sense either. I really know how to handle both my bike and my car. With that being said, let’s talk about motorcycle insurance and the scam that it is in relationship to automobile insurance (another uber-scam). [...]
Often on Tuesday I’ll show some cool advertising video or lost video memory. This time it’s a segment from a local motorcycle television show called theride.tv. I don’t know when or even if they are still on TV, but when I had a different schedule I used to watch the show on Tuesday afternoon. It’s [...]
Whew! I’m late posting my video this week but I have a good reason for it: this week’s video (that I created myself) is a bunch of my photos from Laconia! (music: “Push Push (Lady Lightning)” by Bang Camaro) If you want to check out the actual photos in addition to the video, check out [...]
I returned from Laconia yesterday safe & sound. We had a great time, although it seemed like the crowds and traffic were light this year. The weather was great Friday and Saturday (ok, it was a tad bit on the warm side). I have a lot of photos to download from my camera and I’ll [...]
Oh man, I have been so busy since I got here and only have a few minutes to write! The ride up here was long, cold and wet! We took the “scenic route” up and while the ride was gorgeous it was difficult to enjoy in the rain…We’re staying at the Naswa Resort, which is [...]
