Whenever there’s a bike week somewhere in the country it seems the accident/death toll always trumps other events that are newsworthy. Daytona 2008 is no different, with the death toll reaching seven as of Friday. So, here’s some good news for a change, regarding the first ever Harley-Davidson Woman’s Day Ride: Some 500 women cruised [...]
About a week ago I was going through my news reader and came across an article on Custom Motorcycle Talk about a new website for the ladies called Garage Girls.

A couple of random pieces of info that didn’t have a home: I recently discovered that I have the honor to be included on a highly exclusive and coveted list: I am #5 on the September list of The Most Bangable Blog Babes.

As promised, here’s a few pictures from yesterday when the Vulcan got dropped off to me! This is Harold, who made a special trip fro NJ to MA to drop off this pretty machine. And to give me paperwork to fill out and sign. There it is. The 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom. Ain’t it [...]
