It’s the end of a long love affair. Today I watched as my favorite motorcycle of all time left my yard on the back of a Humboldt Towing flatbed. Even though I was getting close to saying goodbye, this isn’t …
One of my springtime rituals is riding up to Route 1 in the South Fort Mountains to see my favorite wildflower patch. I usually start trying Memorial Day weekend to see if the road is even open. But this year …
A sunny workday for a change, so while waiting for paint coats on the house to dry I put up the last four brackets, and did some painting on the fence until I ran out of primer. So I went …
With the snowpack quickly melting in the heat, there were lots of cascades along the route during my ride yesterday. This one was very pretty. I only had my little Pentax with me and no tripod so I couldn’t do …
Today was gorgeous so I figured it was time to really get the Sprint ST out on the open road and test the new tires and seat out. Rode out Highway 36 all the way to Red Bluff and back. …
The Sprint has a new pair of shoes. I decided to try out a new brand this time, a pair of Continental RoadAttacks. They seemed to be well reviewed, and they were pretty cheap as far as motorcycle tires go. …
Lori made a comment while we were photographing this setup that I have quite an interesting sense of fashion. Ok, so maybe you won’t see many women dressed like this at the mall, but it’s probably closer to reality than …
I had a good weekend with the Sprint ST. Saturday I took it out to scout for locations for a photoshoot, and then Sunday we did the shoot so I got to ride it two days in a row. Pretty …
I took the Sprint out for a ride to Horse Mountain. I was up there for two hours and had the road totally to myself. Try to find a road like that in the Bay Area! From where the bike …
We spend far more time at work than we do at home (unfortunately) so when Lori suggested we get a tree this year, I thought we should put it in our studio so we could enjoy it more. It also …
This was a little experiment to figure out how to create a Quicktime VR object movie. I’ve created panoramas before where you spin the camera inside a room for example, but in an object movie it is the object that …
Finally, a day off after working nearly 3 weeks without one. Rewarded myself with a ride on the Sprint, even though I probably should’ve been doing yardwork or maybe working on the house. But the weather was just too nice. …
This was supposed to be a photo of my Triumph Sprint ST with a model posed on it. However, as it seems to be my curse, the model cancelled at the last minute. Since I had already washed it (a …
After spending the morning replacing the drive belt on the mower, and then mowing the lawn, my chores for the day were done. With it being such a nice day out, it was no tough decision on how to spend …
We’ve been having excellent weather the last few days, probably the best string of warm weather since we’ve moved here. Got out the shorts and t-shirts, played in the garden, and went for a lot of motorcycle rides. Greg, a …
Today’s ride took Blake and I on Hwy 36 to Red Bluff, Platina Rd to Redding, and then 299 back to Eureka. Just over 400 miles of riding to end up back where we started. Hwy 36 is probably the …
Blake, one of the guys I went to Colorado with, came up for the labor day weekend. Today we rode Avenue of the Giants, and then did the Lost Coast loop. About 140 miles to end up back where we …
This is Paul Masters, who has the same bike and leathers as I do. He is one of the riders from the Bay Area that I joined up with for the ride out to Colorado. Fortunately our helmets are different …
This is a group shot of most of the bikes that attended the rally. Mine just happens to be in the foreground, which means it was the most vunerable if anybody tipped one over. The line up was done in …
