How & Why: Motorcycle Charging System DELETE
I couldn't resist an old 2nd gen GSXR750 that popped up on Craigslist back in 2016. It didn't come with a clear title (or a fuel tank, or bodywork, or fairings/plastic, or a bunch of other stuff), so the

Riding Dirtbikes at Rainbow Falls, Outside of Woodland Park, CO
Sunday morning. Wake up. Get coffee. Get a text: It took me about 20 minutes to decide. My options were be lazy and start drinking too early at home? Or go and try to break my neck on a dirt bike in honor

How To: Make an Old Motorcycle Run by Cleaning The Carburetor
Most of the time the only thing preventing an old bike from running again is a DIRTY CARBURETOR. (GSXR750 carbs, no airbox, YES I know how to tune bikes w/o airboxes... LOL) There are other things you

Guy Martin at the 2014 Pike's Peak International Hillclimb
I was walking around Fan Fest on Tejon St. in Colorado Springs a few years ago when I saw Guy Martin working on his bonkers turbo GSXR hillclimb bike the day before the big race. The only thing from Suzuki

Best Christmas Present Ever...
About my gift... I'm a fan of this artist named Walton Ford. He does these really subversive Audubon-like natural history paintings. The originals are huge. Even if I could afford one, I wouldn't know

Review: Steem Poker League @ Lucksacks.com
I'll start by saying I have nothing critical to say whatsoever. After three tournament appearances, this is what my record looks like: I play on Sundays because I have stuff to do Monday thru Saturday.

I Played This Like I Didn't Play It At All
Word to the wise: do not drink and play poker. I repeat: Do not drink and play poker. Just don't do it. To illustrate my point, let's look at a hand where I lost some money betting like a stupid donkey.

Someone Stole My Betcoin Poker Chips!!! A story about complacency...

The Price of Everything and The Value of Nothing
What's going on now reminds me of the run-up to 2008. Everything is so expensive. Why are crytpocurrencies that offer zero value trading for what they're trading for? Why is everything
