This past weekend a few of my buddies and I had a mini BMW Airhead Tech Day at my house. We had fun rebuilding the brake master cylinder on my '81 BMW R100CS. We also played around with the mount of my Heinrich Fuhrmann tank, and modifying the seat cowl, so that the seat could still be removed with the tank in place. Here is a short video we made f...

This is going to fun!
I have to admit, I think the Maryland Vehicle Emissions Inspection is largely just another "tax", but I abide by laws so begrudgingly I take my vehicles every two years using the self service kiosk, which can be frustrating - but hey, in the end it does seem to work and saves $4.00.
This morning I decided to take my truck (w...

Getting so incredibly frustrated. I treated myself to my first Drone ever, a DJI Mavic Air 2. I often look to eBay for some deals and seemingly found one advertised as a "Fly More" combo, which includes add'l batteries, a car charger, ND filters, etc.
Asked the Seller for Serial Number, since I thought I needed that to register the Drone with the...

Finally Stopped ....

For weeks I have gone past the local Audi Dealership which currently has an amazing sports car on display. I promised myself many times to stop, but always came up with "internal" excuses, like - "No, I should really head to work", or - "I don't like some of the signage around to the car", or - "I wished the car's doors were not flipped open".

Finally got the R77 (1977 BMW R100RS) back out for a spin. It's getting increasingly harder to exercise and run the four bikes I now have. But always a joy. After many months of sitting in the garage, I was a bit surprised she fired right up, took her for a ride to my local watering hole.

Some places are iconic and legendary. Irv's Basement Bar in Pasadena is one of those places. Pay him a visit while he is still tending bar - you will not regret it!
We were pre-gaming my birthday, and arrived at Irv's around noon, finding the basement bar closed. No problem, my buddy peeked through the screen door and caught Irv sitting at his kit...

I have always enjoyed spending time with my good friends on a sporting clay course followed by the obligatory lunch/drinks afterwards, with plenty of smack talk about the witnessed shooting abilities of the players on-hand. All in good fun, of course.
I used to shoot with a Benelli 121 SL80 (12ga semi auto, 26in unchoked barrel. Only mod: thicker...

Recently I had the opportunity to visit Bermuda after having participated in the Annapolis To Bermuda (A2B) offshore race. The race itself was an adventure, I am so thankful to my skipper and crew to have been able to be a part of this race.
Being able to stay in Bermuda with Shiloh's Crew and family members was a treat. We rented scooters and ess...

My long weekend began Thursday afternoon with a ride from Annapolis, MD to DuBois, PA where I met Lew and RJ at the DuBois diner near the DuBois...
