1 Ride, 2 Wheels

As 2018 winded down, I decided to sell my truck to a friend who needed it more. Now that I ride the Grom daily, the truck sat at home a lot while a friend needed a car. The first thing I did after selling it was order myself a rain suit. Usually if it’s raining…

Let’s Go

Nine years ago this year I and some friends blogged everyday in January. That year was 2009! So long ago but I can remember it clearly. (Mostly because I can read it again whenever I want.) A few months ago I wrote a post here that said that Social Media Killed My Blog. It is…

How Long Will It Take Me To Realize The Battery Is Dead?

https://youtu.be/qu6OISRsXL4 Turn On Already?! When it is really cold out I use some Oxford hand warmers the missus got me for my birthday. They are awesome, but I also have to remember to turn them off!  Luckily a coworker had a portable jump starter. Was up and running after a few minutes. Was too embarrassed…

Nailed

One of the things that is recommended to carry with you on a motorcycle is a tire plug kit. I’ve been carrying one in my bag for over a year with hopes of never having to use it. The kit comes with plugs, tools to insert the plug into the hole caused by a nail…

Riding Loose On The Grom

Chains. They need to be cleaned, lubed, and tightened. I am learning now that is has to be in that order. I have owned the Grom now for over a year and the one thing I have not been able to do very well is maintain the chain. What happens when you don’t do it…

Rain Ride

In South Texas we can go weeks without rain and weeks with 100+ degree weather so when it rains it seems as though it came out of nowhere. Especially if you don’t follow the weatherman. Someone will think they hear thunder, and the next thing we know it’s going to rain. I ride the Grom…

Social Media Killed My Blog

Years ago, before the term “social media” was a part of everyone’s life, this blog was where I wrote about things that interested me, funny stories, photos, life events, etc. I remember people thinking it was odd that I had a blog where I wrote and shared things, but now, people think it’s odd when…

Loving The Home Warranty

I have been at my home for a little over 10 years now, so things are breaking! Two summers ago my Air Conditioner was on the fritz. It would frequently have to be manually reset. The thought of having to fork over tons of money to have it fixed had me freaking out. I don’t…

3 Weeks On The Grom

This week marks three weeks of Grom life. I am loving it! I am also getting a tan, which I’m not to found of,  but hopefully I’ll be getting a riding jacket which help with that and with safety if I take a fall.
