Been a while. I've been on quite a journey this last couple of months, wildly expanding my metal palette. My list of favorite bands has completely changed and expanded quite a bit. It's been an amazing exploration with tons of great recommendations.

I’m still alive on this app somewhat. I just had one of the best nights of my life.

Like a Dragon Gaiden is a closing chapter on a story I’ve been following for 20 years. I need to see how it ends for one of my favorite characters in fiction.
Anyway, I’ve been spending most of the time helping homeless people and playing golf, darts, slot cars, and classic Sega arcade games.

Norton F1
Familiar with a Wankel Rotary engine? Think airplanes or the Mazda RX-7. This bike has one. This is powered by a 588cc two rotor Wankel engine. That means VERY responsive power and a distinct howl of a sound.
That’s it. It’s a rotary engine motorcycle. Do I need to say more?

Yamaha RD500LC
Speaking of V4s…two stroke engines were very high in power, but also only liked high RPMs. Yamaha’s solution was to make a V4 two stroke. V4 engine meant a more linear and usable powerband. Nutty doesn’t even begin to describe what these bikes are. Also yes, it has 4 exhausts.

Honda RVF400R
I could mention the CBR250RR MC22 for its insane 19k RPM redline, but I can’t help but adore this little V4 sport bike. Under 400 pounds wet and 60 horsepower? It’s a little V4! Just look at it, it’s so charming and would be a riot on a twisty road. I want to ride one in my life.

Suzuki GSX1100S Katana
This bike was a wild design, even for the 1980s. From the overlapping speedometer and tachometer on the compact instrument panel to sharp, yet smooth body lines, this bike just screams “look at me!” This is still one of the coolest bikes ever made and I’d love to have one.

Yamaha YZF-R7 OW02
No relation to the new R7. For those unaware, the R7 was originally a bike made for race homologation. This was a motorcycle made to win races from the factory. Ohlins suspension, super bike derived chassis, 20 valve engine, and only 500 of them exist. This is a holy grail.

Road tested: Scorpion EXO Optima jacket.
Replacing my Texport jacket I used in the winter was a daunting task and while the Scorpion might not be as toasty, it’s certainly more versatile. Even still, I only felt a cool breeze at 80 MPH in 36 Fahrenheit. It felt nice! Welcome to the arsenal!

My oldest jacket in my arsenal is getting retired. This is from when I bought it 7 years ago and here’s the replacement. I’ve had great luck with Scorpion EXO products, this new jacket will have big shoes to fill.

My dad had a CitiCar on the farm. Kind of similar idea, it was such a goofy thing. I absolutely loved it. Couldn’t take it on the 55 MPH road, but it’s great for driving in fields, for sure.

I can vouch, I’ve owned both bikes. One likes corners and one likes tearing your face off when you twist the throttle. 😅

Of all of the ways I was speculating how my automotive technicians were going to support my motorcycle while changing its tire, this was not one of them. Nice one, lol.

Great news, my tire showed up at my house. I had to let the bike know. I swear this is normal behavior. #motorcycles

Squares *are* responsible for one of the coolest pictures I’ve ever taken of a bike. This is the Fazer 700 I own now. Zero lighting except for what’s on the bike in this picture.

Update: I found our most iconic RennFest memory in my old Facebook posts. It’s a shame these guys stopped having this show. It’s a story of a man, his baby, and a bear.

More supernatural horror movies need a character that will square up with a ghost or demon and fist fight it.
This is why Kudo Jin from Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi has won my heart. He’s fucking crazy and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Good to see my bike making friends in the shop. There’s a 2021 Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited hanging out with it until my new front tire comes in.
