Just about starting, Andy! I had to make sure I was on the right link and not on the wiki entry for the Richard Pryor movie Greased Lightning. Read more

Yup! Read more

The headline is a good example of dialetheism, where we can ascribe conflicting truth values to a single statement! Haha But I get your point. Read more

As a purist, I get it. But as someone who still can’t reliably kickstart their old Yamaha, I get why people hack up their bikes to suit them better. I’m happy to see bikes survive in stock form; I’m just as happy to see the crazy stuff people can do. But if I ever got a Ducati SportClassic, I’d probably not mess with… Read more

Haha Thanks! A little St. Augustine sneaking into the blog! Good eye! Read more

Lots of Cafe Racers, yes! I’m still waiting for the Iced Turbo Racers. Read more

Nortons! Yes! I agree; I want to showcase the grassroots builders and gatherings, too! The Handbuilt is just easy to drive to, since Austin is my upstairs neighbor from down in the RGV. Read more

Please make it out to the show at some point. Maybe next year! It’s full of great bikes, but my favorite part is that it’s open to submissions from people just making bikes in their garage. The show is a big to-do, but it’s enthusiasts at the end of the day. The builders are around, too, so you can talk to them and… Read more

Whoops! Ah, the lovely first-gen Pathfinder. How I miss it. Read more

Howdy, neighbor! Oh, the construction is awful! It’s been creeping east, like you said, to the interchange. I hate how far you have to drive to get on/off with all the ramps closed. I agree our roads were not designed for this traffic! Why are so many gas stations dangerously close to those ramps, BTW!? Ha

Whoa! That’s gorgeous! How’s the GT on those canyon roads? Read more

Ah, SoCal is one of the places I’d love to visit for the drives alone! I hope the pavement on CA-142 lasts a while, so you can get a bunch of good drives in! Read more

You’re welcome! Oh, I know Alice. I pass by when headed up to SA or Austin. I don’t stop for snacks (or the latrine) until I’m in George West or Three Rivers, so I usually see Alice briefly. I’ll have to check out the back roads there! Read more

Thanks! Keeping it roadworthy isn’t always easy, but I guess that’s half the fun. Read more

It goes back to the big shakeup we had, which left us understaffed. We’d lost Rory, David and Jason. Then the strike. It was like being stranded with a flat because you had a spare but no cross-wrench. We’ll catch up before long! Read more

Ah, right. That there’s a silver lining. Good catch. Read more

Yes! I’ve tried to convince my wife Norma for years that surface roads are faster than the highway sometimes. Oh, and motorcycles really are great at encouraging longer commutes. Read more

A long way to the grocery store would be great! There’s the drive and a snack to look forward to. That sounds surreal, seeing the city from afar at the wheel of an M5 along a winding mountain road! Sorry about the traffic, but I’m happy you enjoyed it! For a while, at least. Read more

I think, yes. Right after she’d climbed the mountain and turned around. Read more

Hm. Kinja. This was the link that broke the reply:
