I think this picture says it all. Check out my good friend Bob cruising through the backroads of southern Delaware on his tricked out Sportster 1200. He has done alot to this bike, notice the wide forks! Bob is one of two people I ride with that doesn’t wear a helmet; he looks like he is having such a good time I might have to ditch mine.
It’s a relaxing Monday night in the Green household. Diana is reading blogs and I am catching up on my motorcycle magazines. I’m speed reading through the June 2008 issue of Rider. Skipping bike reviews for bikes I would never buy, skipping articles on rides in places I will never visit, skipping reviews for products I would never buy. I’m reading an article about a motorcycle club called the Rounders. These are people who ride all year round and pride themselves on welcoming in all brands of two wheeled transportation. Then it hits me! Low and behold on page 116 there is a picture of a 2006 Vespa GT250ie scooter on a snowy road outside Pine Grove Mills, Pennsylvania…. the picture is by our own Steve Williams of Scooter In The Sticks! Steve’s scooter blog may have gone into hibernation but his spirit is still alive in the motorcycle community!
After blogging for 3 months about motorcycling I have met the criteria to join the esteemed organization of motorcycle bloggers known as Motorcycle Bloggers International. MBI acts as a group of motorcyclists and scooter riders around the globe who vote on annual awards for motorcycle manufacturers. The idea is to influence the industry and be heard. By joining together and utilizing our publishing power we can get our oppinions taken seriously.
MBI has become more than an awards program. It has become the hub of the highest quality motorcycle blogs. Most of the really good motorcycle blogs are listed with MBI. If you’re not a member and you have been blogging about motorcycles for at least 3 months, I encourage you to apply for membership.

I took my bike off the motorcycle jack today so I could ride to the March HOG meeting. It feels awesome to be on two wheels again! Nothing else like it. I wanted to skip the meeting and keep riding, but I didn’t. Went to the meeting and had a great time with my fellow First State HOG members.
I can’t wait to ride again. I’m thinking maybe I’ll ride to work tomorrow. So I go to check the weather and it doesn’t look good.
According to Road Runner magazine the best tool for checking the weather in the United States is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s website: www.noaa.gov
I got a good tip tonight that I want to pass on to you folks. A good friend of mine who wishes to remain anonymous told me on the QT that your local Sears department store carries Harley Davidson boots. Don’t let anyone know where you heard that because we HOG members are expected to be loyal to the dealerships. Do me a favor and do something good with the money you save on these boots. Send it to a charity like MAV.
MAV is a grass roots charity for Motorcycle Accident Victims. We need to look out for each other by donating to our own charity and sharing good tips like this!
Here is the link to Sears to do a little online window shopping: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/search_10153_12605?keyword=harley+davidson+boots
I value your oppinion. If you have any money saving tips like this, please post a comment. Let us know. Share the knowledge!

My wife Diana has a very flirtatious picture of herself with the famous custom motorcycle builder Russell Mitchell of Exile Cycle. Last Saturday, February 8th, was payback! I went to the Timonium Motorcycle Show to get my picture taken with the hotter than hot Michele Smith, host of American Thunder. In this case, revenge was SWEEEEET! Of course I had to get permission first.
Did anyone catch the motorcyclist in the Viagra commercial? I hope we bikers don’t get a bad rap for not being able to take care of business due to this commercial! At least the dude who needs a little help was not on a Harley. I hope I’m not offending anyone out there with ED.
Have you been thinking about buying a GPS system? You can buy a refurbished Garmin 2610 for less than $200 and also purchase a motorcycle mounting kit for a few more bucks. Check out Doug’s post from January 31st at Forty Years On Two Wheels.
