Not Shiny, buuuutttttt.........

OK,

While I normally post about something of a mechanical/electronic nature, today is going to be different. I just ordered a new motorcycle jacket and pants combo from a company called "Motoport". Having shopped around for the right gear to wear while riding, I was lucky enough to stumble on their fine products. I could go on and on about how well made and how well they perform, but you should be the judge. Please go to their website and have a look around. Be sure to read the article "Save Your Hide", quite the eye opener. Before you buy your next riding jacket or pants, please at least have a look at Motoport, you won't be disappointed.

We did it!

Hi folks,

Well we did it. We bought a 2009 Suzuki DL650 ABS VStrom. Gotta say, I really like this bike so far. It isn't exactly a "scare the crap out of you" fast bike, but it handles really nice, and is comfortable to ride too.
We already ordered a bunch of add-on's such as engine protectors, sliders, Hyper-Lites, protective film, wheel stripes, and even an expansion fuse box for adding electronic gadgets. Here are the places I've purchased from in case you're wondering where to start shopping for those kinds of things:
