Been updating some work on Flickr... Road trip through Arizona and New Mexico with an old Airstream trailer: http://www.flickr.com/photos/direction-one-inc/8070349810/in/set-72157631728477365/lightbox/ Christmas road trip to Toronto to visit family...

Ooh yeah!

My good friend Sam Shoshan, owner of Classic Connection in Fairfield, CT, just published a little article that I wrote about traveling with a Leica M9: http://blog.classicconnection.com/2012/11/traveling-with-an-m9/ Just graduated from the M9 to the M Monochrom (black and white only body) --...

One of my Duff Goldman shots made it onto an ice cream container....I know, weird.

I've done it twice from Toronto - once in '87 on my 900f, and once in '89 via Alaska with the 900f and a Velorex sidecar. Best advice I can give is to allow yourself more time than you think you'll need. If you're doing it at the height of summer, plan on lots of RV's/slow traffic through...

Sure you don't mean Mansfield? Make sure you know where you're staying!

Might need to reserve that too, if you're staying onsite. Not that it necessarily matters, but in years that I've been when it's poured rain, the campsites have been a muddy mess.....kinda like Woodstock!

Don't think I'll be heading out this year. But, having said that, and having been there four times, I'd strongly recommend finding your accommodations ASAP, as the motels fill up quickly (if they haven't already!).

Was just emailed this from the AMA..... Mods and Rockers to take center stage at this year's AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days Classic Brit-bike café racers and vintage metal-body scooters to be featured PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- The American Motorcyclist Association is pleased to announce that the...

Many thanks! Of course, you always like to say that you're 'done', but I'm sure I'll be continually finding things to replace, update or change. This is the one and only bike I have (and am likely to have), so I better make it as good as I can possibly make it -- for me, at least! Went for a...

Went for a short ride on Sunday after a four week hiatus -- beautiful weather for early March! Bike wanted to go go go, and it screamed down the road with reckless abandon. The new Heidenau tires seemed fine, but of course the real test will be on the wet roads, so stay tuned for that. Wish...

Bullseye!

Yeah, had a hard time resisting this one, and it's from 1960 (same as the other Ingersoll that was on the bike). I'm hoping to devise some kind of ride, though it may be later in April. I'd like to do something more towards Frederick County, but I'll have to see how things go over the next...

Here's my weird one, just back from the painter and upholsterer. Can you guess what it is, and what year? Another shot of it going down the road.....

Just replaced a very crucial component on the bike..... I think it matches the speedo/tach nicely, and should definitely add about 10mph to the top end.

Picked up the bike today with the *new* Heidenau tires, and took a couple of shots in the late day light....... I only managed to ride from John's place to mine (about 20 minutes), but so far so good. This is a big leap for me, as I've been a loyal Dunlop rider (K82's), but they're getting...

Thanks -- yeah, I think the Roadrunner works, though I did try three other things that didn't seem to work. Even with nothing, that space seemed like it 'needed' something, and I think a nice piece of artwork from my friend Lee is a worthy addition! Thanks again!

Just picked up the bike today from having the tank re-re-re-installed, as well as the chain guard and a couple of other very minor tweaks. First photo of it in 2012!

I guess your mechanic is coming from the point of view that you don't come across 900F's very much nowadays, and particularly one that hasn't been messed with too much, so why go and start messing with it? Depends on what your intentions are with it -- after all, it is yours and you can do what...

900F's are great bikes -- I had a 1981 model for a few years in the late '80s, and rode it cross country a few times, as well as to Alaska. A few things about them: If you haven't already discovered, they are top-heavy bikes (and tall in the saddle). As well, the charging systems are marginal...
