Description: Farther On
Today was a strange day. The morning was filled with those activities that bring our mortality into focus; blood tests and ultrasounds. It was sunny and clear but with a hint of winter in the air. In fact the clouds towards Buffalo looked full of snow. The radio reported whiteouts and chain reaction accidents 100 miles north of us yesterday. As we ate lunch in town, clouds moved in and the sun faded away like the hot summer.
When we got home the roads were still dry and the mercury was about 41 (5 for the metric types). Hmmm,,, maybe a short run to nowhere specific. We live very close to Niagara Falls. “Honey I’m going to pick up a loaf of bread” close. Maybe a run there to catch the last of the autumn leaves and the fall’s spray plume in the cold air,,,
We headed into Niagara-on-the-Lake to pick up the Niagara Parkway to follow the river. Niagara is an off season ghost town during the week. No crowds to push through today. The river road was gorgeous, the leaves down or in the last stages of colour against the grey low ceilinged sky. Running up the hill of the Niagara Escarpment, the drizzle started. Jackson Browne on the CD is singing Running on Empty and David Lindley’s red hot Rickenbacker BR-6 lap steel is wailing as I reflect on the season that is coming to an end.
The Native Peoples associate the seasons to the points of the compass. Cruising bikers have a similar cycle I mused. Soon the Road Glide will be in my garage with the Battery Tender on and the fuel stabilized while I play with chrome doo dads and must haves for next season. I will be poring over maps and tour guides plotting out the runs for next summer and making lists of places to shoot on camera. Winter will be a time for reflection. This fall season is the time for feeling gratitude for the bounty of the harvest, the good friends I met on the road this year and for my health that will sustain me through next season’s rides.

Description: Every motorcycle needs motorcycle oil, but choosing the right motorcycle oil can be challenging. When looking at what type of oil to use there are generally three different types which are mineral oil (this is your “regular” oil), synthetic blend, and fully synthetic. What new motorcyclists don’t know is that the engine of a motorcycle runs a lot faster than a car engine on a consistent basis. Where a car might only run 2000 to 3,000 RPM’s (revolutions per minute) a motorcycle will run up to 10,000 on average. That is 3 to 4 times as much stress on the engine compared to your normal car.
Another huge problem that arises with motorcycle oil is that it tends to fall to the bottom of the oil pain. That means if the engine has been sitting overnight the motorcycle oil is not in the engine. This means when you start the cycle up, for a split second it has no protection.
The Judgment on Motorcycle Oil
The final judgment on motorcycle oil is really up to you. However, if you are wondering what the best possible motorcycle oil is, it’s full synthetic. Full synthetic will allow your engine to run smoother and it’s less likely to be effected by lower temperatures causing that split second of no protection at startup to be as minimized as possible.
Keep it upright and ride it like you mean it!

Description: Just got back from a 2200k run up the country, caught up with my heavily pregnant daughter and brother who i haven't seen for 2yrs. Had a blast, the trip up wasn't much fun went via the Newell Highway which runs adjacent the hay plain which is desert country, hot, dry, windy and fckin dusty not the ideal riding conditions but made it thru to other side...lol. Came across a bloke and his missus on a beamer cruiser who had had a truck pull out in front of them when they were heading in for fuel and he had put the bike down, he was exhausted, been riding for hrs only stopping for fuel, they were both ok thankfully, bike wore some gravel rash but was ok to continue. apart from that the rest of the trip up was uneventful. stayed at my bro's place 4 days, plenty of beers laughs, got the itch to get back on the road, rolled out of bed at 4.30am, Kerrie had cooked eggs and bacon in a pita bread roll, some sandwichs for lunch, shes an angel, left there at 6am, it was cold and the wind had been blowing all night, hesistated momentarialy about leaving but fired up the Magna, pulled on the wet gear and got moving,fueled up in Bathurst and headed for the open road. Stopped about an hr out and checked my ph, had a message from a good m8 from Mildura, he just got some wheels under his r's again, bought himself a HondaVFR 800, cya out there George, must get up an see him soon time for a beer i reckon. Anyway back on the road nothin to exciting came back thru Young down to Wagga Wagga to Culcairn then crossed over to Finlay, oh after coming across a gravel rd had to do some detouring to find the right rd. Back to my daughters place, 10hrs on the rd an yeah i had cple breaks, had lunch and stopped at a place on the side of the rd that was an old house an the bloke had the biggest array of diecast models i have ever seen for sale, apologized and told him i would stop in next trip when i bring the kids up in the car, couldn't fit much on the bike. stayed with my daughter and her fella again then cruized home, my wifes b/day so thought i better be home, the m.i.l. had come up, arrived home and darling wife wasn't home.....lol, just out doing some business shit. And thats about it i s'pose like i said nothing to exciting wish i was still out there thoroughly enjoyed bein on the road again as always. Oh by the way darling daughter had the baby, so i am a G'pa, a little boy Kade Micheal John, healthy a cple wks early but all is well, must get over and c them both soon.
