    Man cave wall art

    Very nicely chosen and positioned man cave art. Mine a little more chaotic. Friends and family bring me stuff and tell me it belongs in man space (translation: your wife isn’t going to allow this in house). But then it ain’t just the art that’s chaotic. I should have cleaned up, but here it...

    Rocket Owners on the Road

    Last week I rode 1700 miles between Kalispell and Northern California. Didn’t see any rockets but lots of folks wanted to see mine. This week crossing the country in a cage. Stopped for fuel in Gillette WY. There I saw a well-used Rocket 3. Wasn’t hard to pick out the owner in the cafe. Met...

    Albing here. Long known about the Triumph Triple but was a diehard Bonneville fan. Started riding 53 years ago on a Honda 305 Scrambler. Dreamed of that Bonnie. Finally got one. And over the years, lots of beautiful cycles of assorted vintage and origins have enjoyed my warm garage. Started...

    Oil Drain Plugs and Final Drive Drain and Filler Plugs Crush Washers or Not?

    After the drain plug has “sacrificed” itself to save the threads how do you get the stud out of the housing. That magnet resists any attempt to score a groove in it or drill it for an ez-out insert?
