In my last post, I alluded to the fact that I felt strangely about yesterday. After doing so, I simply talked about how I hadn’t slept and completely left you, the reader, in the dark as to what made yesterday so different than all of the other days. Now, I’ll try to get to the […]
It’s 6:30 AM. I’m in my office. I’ve never seen Tower B so quiet. The lobby is empty, and the elevators are still. Right now, this place feels emptier than it was over the summer. You might be asking yourself, “Why are you up so early, Mike?” To which I would be forced to reply, […]
Late last week, my new saddlebags arrived. However, my saddlebag supports (that keep the bags away from the tire and other things) had not yet arrived. I was going to wait for them to come in before I tried to fit the bags to the bike, but I decided to go ahead and see how […]
As I previously mentioned I wanted to find some new saddlebags for my bike, as my old Bike Master bags didn’t quite fit the bill for the Shadow. They looked ok on the dumpy old XS400, but really look bad on the new bike, as well as being slightly too large given the high exhaust […]
This past weekend Angela and I participated in the 2nd Annual Ride 4 Peace organized by a company called Team Neva. The basic idea was for bikers of all types to come together and ride through some of the more troubled neighborhoods in the city as a statement against violence. The funds raised were being […]
On Monday I got out on two wheels again. However, this time I was using the two-wheeled transportation for which I used to be more well known, rather than the two-wheeled transportation powered by 1099cc of pure steel and sex appeal. Thanks to Angela, Jeremy and I were able to attend this Monday’s Pirates game […]
Hey look, I’m writing! It’s been a bit crazy around these parts, so I’ve not taken the time to even think about writing much lately. But hey, I’ve got some time now, so I’ll give this a shot. It’s been a good, but busy, week or so. One of the highlights is probably a trip […]
I had a pretty good trip up to Connecticut this past weekend. That’s not what this post is about, though. I’ll write about CT later. This post is about my motorcycle. When I arrived back in Pittsburgh from my trip, I discovered that my order from Cruiser Customizing had arrived. In the package was an […]
Tomorrow evening, I’ll be heading back up to CT for the weekend. Book your Anti-Time now folks! I definitely need to escape campus after this last month. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to see some of the folks I missed on my trip up there earlier this summer. Also on the plan will be to […]
More specifically, this post is about the 2006 Honda Shadow Spirit (VT1100C): As you can see, this is a very attractive machine. It’s great look and feel, a powerful 1099cc engine, and man, look at that blue. I’ve had many friends that have had Shadows in the past, and it seems that they’re very well […]
