    Senior Exit Project...

    Hey Rocan, Why not use an app like polleverywhere.com? You could poll more seasoned riders and and newer riders via their cell phone texting. You set up the query and send the text code to those you target, they text their answer and viola...you've got direct data that you can download...

    The Selvedge Yard

    Yup! Been with it for about a year myself and it is definitely one of my "Go To" sites. Love it! Check out the March 10 Blog on Canadian pianist Glenn Gould and then this Youtube clip. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="425" height="349"...

    Anyone hosting a blog?

    Thanks! For checking out the blog and posting your own. Great photography! My wife's cousin just sold her house in Squirrel Hill and I've been talking up Pittsburgh as one of the "gotta go" cities in the Mid-West. Spent some time roaming your blog and will subscribe and post. Really well...

    Anyone hosting a blog?

    Hey all, Don't know if this has been brought up as a topic. Know that we have a listing of fav blogs. Wondering if anyone here hosts their own blog? Seems there are a lot of interests and I've found that following someone's blog opens a lot of those facets up. So, doesn't have to bike...

    Help me out - Vote for my pop's barbershop as "Best in Chicago"

    Voted ;)! Awesome! Reminds me of the barber shop where I get my hair cut. 3 chairs, 3 very old duffers who's wives come in around noon on "short-hours" day. Razor trim around the neck and ears (alas, no full razor shave). Smells like pomade and razorbrite razor bath. Brought my 2 yo son...

    So whats everybody look like?

    Ouch! :o ! Sorry to hear it. We went during HS Spring Break so Duvall wasn't as crazy as I had expected. Also, being members of the "middle aged perspective", we found ourselves back at the house, sipping nightcaps by the pool around midnight most evenings. We had a fantastic week and...

    Ok, I'll play. This is a fun thread. I've been lurking and posting minimally, which I guess makes me a "closet member". ;D That said, I visit pretty much everyday and really appreciate all the posts. Great inspiration, entertainment, and vibes coming from the members here! So, a couple of...

    Overheard at work (Kids say the damndest things)

    My daughter had trouble with her "s" sounds when she was two. Confused them with her "f" sounds. Innocent Cherub would walk around with a Tootsie-Pop and declare, "Good fucker." Then enquire, while holding said Tootsie-Pop out to say, her Grandfather, "Whanta fuck"? Gave me the creepy...

    Michigan roll call

    Hey! Northern MI checking in. I'm in Cadillac, no area, just Cadillac. My cafe is also not up and running but my daily is a KZ750 (1982). Got a buddy in Rochester Hills/Leonard/Oxford area who rides as well. Beautiful riding in the North if I can get you Southern boys this far. Cheers, Jim

    Hello All!! From the finally thawing state of MI

    Very cool! 22 "The Leelanau Loop" is one of my favorite rides. Always stop at the Arcadia overlook and usually Empire for a little time on the beach. Love the twisties just before you hit the overlook and the long right hand sweeper as you exit the orchards and head into the woods before you...

    Hello All!! From the finally thawing state of MI

    I'm 90 mi. due north of Grand Rapids. Cadillac, Michigan. Not a whole lot of Cafe'd bikes out this way, which pretty much guarantees some stares. Thanks for asking.

    Hello All!! From the finally thawing state of MI

    Ever get the feeling you'er outta your league? Last time I posted on a message board was several years ago on the "Folbot Forum" (several meaning severaaaaal). Have patience while I figure this stuff out. Anyway, just wanted to offer a "hello" as I've been lurking for some time. Love the...
