Motorcycle Music!

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

Recently, I’ve been bitten by the “must modify the motorcycle” bug. A short while ago, I added crash bars and highway pegs—they both look good and are functional for long rides. I have also been looking for other ways to make my longer rides more enjoyable, and came across the Kuryakyn Air [...]

I’ve done stuff today.

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

So far today I:
Got out of bed around 9:00 AM. (On a Saturday, shocking!!)
Walked a beagle.
Cooked an actual breakfast. I used a pan and the stove and everything.
Performed surgery on my laptop (had to take the entire thing apart to replace the touch pad and to clean out dust).
Took all of the accessories off [...]

Highway 301

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Yesterday afternoon I decided to hop on the bike and ride North up U.S. 301. On my drive to and from Pittsburgh for the AFC Championship game in January, I took US 301 to US 321 before hitting I-77. What I noticed about these roads was that they were both pretty empty [...]

Things.

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks in AntiDJ land, mostly of the good sort.
Tomorrow I’m heading up to CT for an extended weekend. The original plan was to ride my pretty pretty blue friend on up to the homeland, but I decided against it.  The forecast is calling for rain all week long.  [...]

Sometimes, torque is the enemy.

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

This past Saturday started off cloudy and rainy, but by the afternoon, the sky was clearing and the temperature was pleasant. As such, Angela and I decided that we should take the bike out to dinner and then to the bowling party we were to attend.
When I took the bike out of hibernation for [...]

To Ohio and Back, Part III

Friday, January 5th, 2007

NOTE: This post was started just before last Thanksgiving (original timestamp: 11/14/2006, 01:38). When I had just about gotten it finished, theantidj.net blew up, and finishing the post became a low priority. After I got the blog back up, I think I just forgot about finishing it, or assumed that I had already posted [...]

To Ohio and Back, Part II

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

Finding the Venue. That’s where we left off, and that’s where we’ll get started today.
Here’s the problem: the Great City of Columbus does not see fit to properly label their roads.1 Due to a lack of signage, I missed US 40. At one point, I stopped at a gas station for directions. [...]

To Ohio and Back, Part I

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

Ah, writing. I’ve been neglecting my writing for quite some time. I’ve decided that it ’s time to get back on track and finally write up my trip to Ohio from early this month. I haven’t been procrastinating, really! It’s only been a few days!1

The journey began on the afternoon of October [...]

Electronic Music and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

The other day I was talking about quitting my job and riding around the country. It sounded like a good idea. So, I’m going to do something like it.
No, Mom and Dad, don’t worry… I’m not quitting my job. I’m just taking a couple of days off of work and heading [...]

The Ride

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

“Wow! Another Post! Look at him go!”
I can hear you all the way from here.
One of the ideas swirling around my head the other day was that I really had yet to see a lot of This Vast Country. Another idea swirling around was that I could really use some time entirely removed from [...]
