Behind Bars - Motorcycles and Life
« on: June 09, 2011, 07:35:35 AM »

This is my blog, I write it. No ranting, not overly self-indulgent. Genuine motorcycle content written with the motorcyclist in mind.

 In the most recent post I get dubbed the go-to guy. By the standards of my city that may be true, by the standards of this forum it is NOT the case.

Most recent snippet:

The VJM is a group of good-hearted guys with a loose interpretation of 'vintage.' They congregate online under the guise of arranging rides, but spend most of their time trading basket cases or linking to Craigslist rust buckets. I own a 1978 Honda cb550k and find this 'pooling' of masturbatory self-indulgence to save a lot of time...

Great read brady, always look forward to your new blog posts. You should start taking pics of these people you encounter. I still can't inagine what the blonde looked like or the crazy biker dude from a few months back.

Thanks Duanob, I'm not sure how accepting that person would be if I just took a picture of her. "Whatcha gonna do with that?" ""Call you crazy on the internet..."

Then a second picture would be needed, because their face would be priceless.

I wish I had a set of photos like that, but the amount of pain it would cause me to go and talk to that person again might kill me. I don't even know if there would be a second picture to take... I think the look on her face may have just stayed in the same blank smile.
