My Suzuki Boulevard C90. I am in the process of buying hard saddlebags, painted in the same colors as my bike. I cant wait to see how it will turn out.

Tomorrow is our regular Friday 13th ThunderRun to Prt Dover. Every Fruday 13th motorcyclists of every age, riding style, and bike make descend on Port Dover for a day of fun, bike oggling and buying must have doo dads and duds. Our Hog chapter is riding down as a group. The town shuts down all car traffic there are so many bikes there. I hear the police will be checking exhaust sound levels so I may need to put a sock in Boomer's Rineharts.
It is about a 2 hour ride from here and I will blog on our run sometime on Saturday and post pictures.
Hello from France.
Thank you UWE, for your input, I am lucky that Pamela and I have worked very hard in our life just up to when we could not go any further, then we get screwed with all the red tape and differences between where we lived the first half of our time to where we hope to finish our time. All we have got is ours, house, 2 cars and my Drag Star, we said that if push came to shove in France you could live on bread, cheese and wine, but we never take into account ill health and other stupid things like glasses and teeth which in France are classed as a lux not needed so the state dont help in a field which is already overpriced.
I am getting of the subject, ( sorry ). After readind UWE's input about the price of cams I was happy that he linked me to the German site of the French site where my cam cost only 49.99 euro, it was shown as a sports cam and after I solved the fixing problem and my first test all seems OK. I will get round to posting some roads round us, i am happy with the image but the sound is another mater as the microphone on the cam is underneath so it picks up a lot of wind rush round by the bars, but for the money I know have something else to play with and keep me busy during the day.
If anybody has got or has used the " Eagle 100 by Sumikon " I would like your input on this little cam as I am shure that I could do with some pointers although all you got to do is battery, sd card, switch on, choose quality and start and its away, maybe my AA's are too low powered or my SD card is too small or not of the right type, only somebody like you can help.
Enough of this rambling I will let you get back to something more interesting, like like like oh well you know better than me, I am lucky no one can come round and break my keyboard but if you think about it I am about 9 hours from the UK ( ferry included ) and about the same time from the only CCC member that I know of in France and she likes chinese food, so my rambling is safe for the moment.
I am open to all suggestions that could be repeated to a sober parish priest.
Keep the grey coming long and slow.
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.
Just curious. Anyone else send emails for things advertised as "used" in the classified section on CC and get nothing??? I sent two emails to two different vendors re: items for a Shadow and after a month, nothing, nada, zip..
Anyone interested in a very slightly used set of passenger floorboards for a 650 Vstar?? Don't know if they fit anything else but I do know they don't fit my Honda
I was wondering should I up grade my Bike or not I have a 1200 custom HD I like it a lot but also like the Dyna custom. I want a bigger engine. ? Do I really need it. And what or advantages of having a bigger bike. I know more power for one. Or should I keep it and be happy. Just confused..LOL
Here's the National Cycle "Plexistar 2" windshield that the company indicated at first would NOT fit the Magna, was NOT designed for the Magna, and they further warned me to "Let the buyer beware" if I insisted on buying it anyway and they would charge a $25.00 "restocking fee" when "I found out that it would not fit and returned it."
Now ... after I sent photographs proving that the windshield does fit the Magna, they are advertising that it WILL fit the Magna along with the original applications they had told me about.
LOL! They should pay me a commission! 
hi,
i have been riding bikes for over 45 years,i started with mini bikes and dirt bikes. i see young people buying fast rocket ship bikes,and getting killed on them,its a shame! they ride with people they know that have been riding a lot longer than them,and try to do the same things. i used to think i was the master of my bike,till it bit me in the ass,and sent me over the handle bars,like saying,dont be cocky. i mostly rode dirt then,and its different,cause you dont have to worry about being run over by a 18 wheeler if you do fall,ha and as far as having protective gear on,i learned my lession with that too,better to have it and not need it,then to not have it,and need it,ha i rode with guys,and sometimes it seemed like they wanted me to crash,so they could say,man you gotta know what your doing,before you can ride like me! i talk to guys and they tell me stuff,i cant belive,like,i never use my back brake,i only use the front,it works better to stop the bike,or other stupid things,like i dont use the brakes,till im ready to stop! i also see them laying the bike over as far as they can,i say to them,all you have to do is hit a wet leave or pebble and you will be on your ass. a friend of mine,was w/this guy she just started dating,he bought a new harley ultra,they went to south carolina,had no helmets or jackets,and got hit waiting for a light from behind,she will never be the same again! im gonna put her pic on here,her back and leg is messed up,but the rest of her looks good,ha its the pic that says,my back hurts! i always worry when im stopped,i look in the mirror a thousand times till the light changes! i know so many people that got killed or are in bad shape for the rest of their life from bike crashes! if this helps one person,ill feel i didnt waste my time typing it! i remember that clint eastwood movie,when he said,a man has to know his limitations! so live to ride another day!
