yesterday, we were the only bicycles at Alamo Springs Cafe on top of the
Guadalupe/Pedernales divide. And no wonder, the last mile of the climb is
6- to 8-degree grade without a break. (Texas Monthly rates the country
dive the best burger in the state). We got a bit of attention from the

Jst kidding, but, apart from the old Norton grass track racer that my
guitar teacher (Nairobi, Kenya, 1971) had leaning against his wall (no
fenders, stand) I've always thought that these should be more pop
Hey folks -
I appreciate we have motorcycle enthusiasts on the list, but it's pretty
clearly outside our topics of discussion.
Perhaps the best approach (rather than just off-list emails) would be to
create a group here (on google groups) or via one of the Popular Social

Back in 2001, after an approx. 20 year layoff from motorcycling, I
purchased a Kawasaki KLR 650. At the time I was a committed bicycle
commuter and told myself I'd commute by bicycle three days per week, and

it out of your system, OR maybe it becomes s

Sorry about the loss of your friends. I know how you feel. I've lost
friends over the years to motorcycle fatalities, and wouldn't ever consider
getting on a motorcycle...(until recently, strangely enough). It's just
one of those things I decided I wanted to try (after I turned 50)...
BSWP--Andrew--says it well: the two kinds of two-wheelers complement each
other. Besides my Sam, Heron Touring, Bridgestone RB-T and XO-1, I ride a
2010 BMW F650GS (the detuned version of the 800 twin); I've been happy on
an F650 single before that, and a '94 K75S, the smothest triple I've

I used to ride motorcycles in my 20's, and had lots of friends through
motorcycling. Many overnight trips into Vermont and the Adirondacks.I
met my better half through motorcycling, though neither of us ride anymore.
Sadly I lost two of my rid

I rode a Vespa 300 for a couple years, then switched to a MotoGuzzi V7
Classic. It's about as basic a motorcycle as you can buy these days. I have
found that learning to ride a motorcycle properly (starting with a good MSF
course) has significantly improved my bic
