I originally took time off work for the week to participate in the MR340 canoe race. After nearly sinking the 3 person canoe on the Missouri river, the team decided it wasn’t our year. This left me with a one week vacation to do almost anything I wanted with. I decided I would use half … Continue reading “Moto Adventure – 10/12/2019”
I got a top box installed on my 2017 V-Strom 650 at Flying Tiger Motorcycles. I wasn’t sure how it was going to look as it seemed quite large when it was sitting on the ground next to the bike. Much to my delight, the top box appears to be a great size. To celebrate, … Continue reading “Riding with Sonora – 8/17/2019”
I was still on vacation and I told Danelle so. The family planned to go to the St. Louis Blues Stanley Cup parade, but I wasn’t interested. I took too long getting ready and go tied up into playing chauffeur to drive them to the metro stop as the parking lots were full. After dropping … Continue reading “Motorcycle Ride – 6/15/2019”

And if … Continue reading “Pervert Ride – 5/19/2019”

Its a decent length ride and has some gravel roads to play on. The sunset was perfect and I loved every second of it! Hogan … Continue reading “Confluence Ride – 2/3/2019”
I purchased a GPS bar on Amazon for my 2017 Suzuki 650 V-Strom. The fit was perfect with a no drama installation. Hogan Haake
In an effort to extend my motorcycle riding season, I had Flying Tiger install a set of heated hand grips. The cost of the grips plus installation was $300, but money well spent. The button with the LO to HI is the controller for the different heat settings. I can say without a doubt that … Continue reading “Heated Handgrips – 10/5/2018”
I took another evening ride going north. I ended up in the land between the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. I was going to ride north to a free bridge, but it got late much sooner than I expected. So I gook some cool night photography and headed home on the Golden Eagle Ferry to save … Continue reading “Riding North – 8/25/2018”
Part of the joy of motorcycling for me is to be spontaneous. This means picking random roads to see where the go and stopping when you would continue in a car. Today’s ride had me out by Waterfall before I took a new road. I ended up in Pacific, Mo in an area I had … Continue reading “Moto Ride – 8/17/2018”
