The Univega returns
It has been a while since I mentioned the Univega here. I finished building it in the spring with a new red tape job on the handlebars. It looked great. And it didn't fit me. I tried riding it a few times, and I discovered that I just don't fit dropped handlebars anymore. I felt… Continue reading The Univega returns
Mantras – #NaBloPoMo
If you have followed the blog over the years, you have seen me attempt various mantras and ways to improve & organize my life. Most eventually fail or fade away. One new one has crept into my daily routine without conscious thought, and it seems to be sticking. DISHES - TRASH - LAUNDRY - LITTER… Continue reading Mantras – #NaBloPoMo

It was a great machine. It was fun to drive, had good cargo space, and got excellent fuel… Continue reading 2018.11.07 #NaBloPoMo – Civic duty

Saturday dawned cold and wet for the annual NEREX Snowflake Run. Thirty-six motorcars departed Delta Drive in Concord bound for Lincoln, NH along the New England Southern, Winnipesaukee Scenic, and Hobo Railroads. The rain waxed and waned throughout the day. Temperatures reached a balmy high of 54 degrees. We all reached Lincoln safely before dusk,… Continue reading 2018.11.06 #NaBloPoMo

I spotted this beauty on the way home Sunday afternoon. While it looks wonderful, I don't imagine it's very fun at modern highway speeds. It got me thinking about what it would be like to tow with our 1965 GMC though. (Don't worry hon, just a thought exercise.)
