Yesterday I got the Clymer’s service manual in the mail from Murph’s, so with the Kawasaki service manual already in handy I’m ready for servicing my bike!

Installed tailbrights on my Connie
Sunday, August 29, 2010
Buck Sport Touring sells reflective stickers called Tailbrights that stick to the rear and side portions of the hard bags. Tonight I installed them. Installation was pretty simple; only had one or two bubbles on each of the stickers. I guess that you could make these yourself; but Buck Sport figured out the right shape, [...]
Virtual Gravel Rash
Wednesday, August 25, 2010
Tonight after removing some of the caked-on dust from under the seat, I decided to investigate the gravel rash on the right of the lower fairing of the bike. Getting down on my hands and knees to take a look, expecting deep grooves, I was shocked to instead find something like silver paint stuck to [...]
Wrapping up the 2009-2010 School Year
Monday, August 23, 2010
This past May, I completed the Simulation and Parallel and Distributed Systems class that I was attending. While taking two classes while working full time was challenging; the pure fun of it all more than made up for the challenge! I will have fond memories of that semester for a long time. I can’t wait [...]

My old leather coat
Sunday, July 25, 2010
While waiting for the Roadcrafter suit to arrive; I decided to get my old leather coat out of storage. Purchased at the flea market in Orange County, CA sometime in the mid-nineties, I’d somehow managed never to wear it. While some may lament the 90′s shoulder-pad styling, it is hard not to like the southwestern [...]
Bought some nice work boots
Monday, July 12, 2010
The MSF beginner’s riders class that I took a month or so ago required shoes that covered the ankles and I ended up buying a pair of the Brahma Hutch II lace-less steel-toe boots from Walmart. Wearing now for a about a month I’ve been really impressed; they are comfortable, broke in really easily, and [...]
Bought a helmet
Monday, July 12, 2010
After a good bit of research I decided to go with a Shoei RF1100. After a few hundred miles I’ve found it to be really nice; comfortable, a lot of air goes through it, and it doesn’t squeal when you are sitting behind a windshield like a couple of reviews that I had read suggested. [...]
Welcoming Chris Aldrich
Thursday, July 8, 2010
Chris Aldrich reads a lot of good books. I enjoy hearing about what he has read lately and thought that it would be nice to share his thoughts so I offered that he could post here if he was interested (or until he blogged elsewhere or whatever). He said yes. His user-name is caldrich.
