I killed Lenore’s battery today.
I have a bad habit of hitting the engine kill switch, getting distracted, and then leaving the bike’s ignition on. (This is usually someplace safe, like home; otherwise I obsess over the key.) In this case I rode over to a friend’s place, and he’s got a sloped driveway. I had [...]

I love Lenore. I really do. But today I was idling at a stoplight when a dude rolled up next to me on a sweet, black Harley-Davidson Fat Bob. The rider looked over at me, looked down at my bike, gave me a nod. The light changed and he roared off.
It was like being [...]

Friday’s Clutch concert and the ensuing chaotic weekend were not conducive to photography, so I’m posting late. Of course, I did post a bonus photo last week, so things balance out, yes?
Tonight I noticed the sun blazing orange in the sky and decided to jump on Lenore and shoot some pics from the saddle. I [...]

“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before
