• A Short Run in the Park

  • From: kimmer127
  • Description:

    We are renovating the house at the moment.  It is something we seem to do so frequently that one reno job seems to blend into another.  The painters just finished painting the interior about a week ago and now the contractor is setting up to add a bathroom in the basement.  I don’t have a very good idle speed so waiting for people to turn up (the gas company, the builder) makes me edgy.  I make Maureen edgy when I am edgy so she suggested I go for a shot run to kill time (an t get me out of her hair). 

    It’s a nice sunny clear fall day here so it was not hard to get talked into firing up the Road Glide and hitting the road.  The Niagara River Parkway is almost empty this time of year and it sweeping curves are enticing me to crack the throttle and dance the Glide through the 10 km of great ride.

    The stock sound system and speakers are no match for my helmet ear flaps and the Rineharts.  Maybe one of the Cruiser Customizing friends can point me to a good sounding upgrade.  Christmas is coming!

    The Falls area is bathed in yellow afternoon sun as I cut away from the parkway.  I just axed the Glide and don’t want the mist from the Falls to ruin the wax job.  Back near Marineland is a small oasis above the Falls called Dufferin Islands.  I stop and park the Road Glide pulling my Nikon D90 out of the saddlebag.  The sun and shadows are fantastic.  I take several shots then an obliging person sitting in their car having a late lunch enjoy the peace and beauty, offered to take a picture of me with the Harley.  I couldn’t resist.

    A few more shots and it is past the time to meet the builder.  I fire up the Glide and take the back roads out to the main highway and get on the throttle as traffic is moving about 70 mph.  The sun is just glorious and I feel great.  It is just a short respite from the world of home renos but I will take every minute I get to ride and to shoot photos on such a wonderful fall day.

• Blluetooth Motorcycle Headset

  • From: Cowboy1nCA
  • Description:

    I was browsing CruiserCustomizing.com a few days ago, with the hope of finding the right gift for a friend and rider in Reno that turned my trip to Street Vibrations into great vacation for my whole family -including the two basset hounds! I think I found the appropriate gift in the Show Chrome Accessories (Big Bike Parts) TireGard Tire Pressure Monitoring System.  The staff pick made this decision even easier.  Although this is relatively expensive accessory/gift on my budget at about $150, this wireless pressure and temperature monitoring system will stay on both my wish list and gift list this holiday season.

    While shopping for the tire pressure monitoring system I noticed the Scala-rider bluetooth motorcycle headset by Cardo Systems and decided to give the product a try, and I'm very glad that I did.  Proximity and great service from CruiserCustomizing.com put the product in my hands in two days. Quick and easy installation allowed me to try the headset on my commute on Friday.  My wife indulged me with several voice activated incoming and outgoing calls while the headset was paired with my Sony Ericsson phone with the voice recognition (VR) feature.  The headset work exceptionally well at the low speeds (< 35 mph) on my commute.  I tried the wired MP3 player connection during my trip home.  It’s great that the headset will automatically mute the MP3 player for incoming and outgoing calls. 

    Because fall has finally arrived in Sacramento and cold isn’t far away, here is a quote on the subject of “cold” from Mark Twain.

    "Cold! If the thermometer had been an inch longer we'd all have frozen to death!"
    - Read, Mark Twain and I, 1940, p. 44

  • Description:

    Rode to Reno via Lake Tahoe S. Shore on Friday with two friends for Street Vibrations rally.  The weather was great and HOT.  The return trip ride over Mt. Rose added a nice ride south along the NV side of Lake Tahoe.  I saw thousands of great people in Reno and Carson City, had some fun and unique experiences, and made a least a dozen new friends that I looking forward to seeing again soon.

• The Veterinarian

  • From: vilchesm
  • Description:

    One Sunday, in counting the money in the weekly offering, the Pastor of a
    small church found a pink envelope containing $1,000. It happened again the
    next week!
    
    The following Sunday, he watched as the offering was collected and saw an
    elderly woman put the distinctive pink enve lope o n the plate. This went on
    for weeks until the pastor, overcome by curiosity, approached her.
    
    "Ma'am, I couldn't help but notice that you put $1,000 a week in the
    collection plate," he stated.
    
    "Why yes," she replied, "every week my son sends me money and I give some of
    it to the church."
    
    The pastor replied, "That's wonderful. But $1000 is a lot, are you sure you
    can afford this? How much does he send you?"
    
    The elderly woman answered, "$10,000 a week."
    
    The pastor was amazed. "Your son is very successful; what does he do for a
    living?"
    
    "He is a veterinarian," she answered.
    
    "That's an honorable profession, but I had no idea they made that much
    money," the pastor said. "Where does he practice?"
    
    The woman answered proudly, "In Nevada .. He has two cat houses, one in Las
    Vegas , and one in Reno '
