And Doxies have their day.

Imagine my surprise when I realized I had two different Daschsund scooter swags to post. First up is this beautiful necklace, handmade in Ireland and crafted in sterling silver. The front is 3-D and the wheels even spin, but it's flat on the back so it sits well. It measures approximately 1.25 wide and...

Motorcycles and scooters make their way into his posts on ocassion and when I saw this one I thought it might be time to share. I admit feeling a...

Riding: Other Ways Home

Steve Williams (noreply@blogger.com) — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:46:24 UTC

I know, without a doubt, that my life would be more ordinary if my movement through the world was limited to the comfortable confines of a car. Looking out beyond the Vespa towards Tussey Ridge, sitting on the ground, I was happy. At 57 years old I'm still curious and get excited by strange things I...

The 2012 Honda Civic Natural Gas may have been named Green Car of the Year at the L.A. auto show in November, but the CNG-burner settled for second in Washington, where the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, a lobby group, chose the Mitsubishi i as its greenest vehicle of the year.

Put on a Trojan

illnoise — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:57:41 UTC

Jen points out that Heritage Helmets now offers Trojan Records helmets to go along with their Consortium-approved Lambretta helmets. They even offer one with both Trojan and Lambretta logos, which is kind of surreal. Beautiful stuff, but, once again, they totally forgot the part that covers your chin...

Dave Dixon (noreply@blogger.com) — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 05:01:23 UTC

I was very excited and couldn't wait to pick it up. Now, it's not like the weather has been beautiful in this part of the world since December. We've had many cold icy days and our share of grey, rainy ones but the weather this weekend was forecast to be warm and sunny. Besides, every time I went down...

Numb Hands

Steve Williams (noreply@blogger.com) — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 22:16:02 UTC

Looks like a nice morning but it's cold. I should have gone back home to get a different pair but instead muttered the time honored expression, "I'll be fine." And things would have been fine if I'd not stopped to take pictures. A pleasant surprise to see another scooter parked across from Schlow Library,...

29in29: Five, First ride of the new year

bobskoot (noreply@blogger.com) — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 09:40:05 UTC

It is rare when I don't have a bike insured during the Winter. My insurance expired a couple of months before Christmas and the weather was horrible, so I stalled. Then it rained & rained & rained & rained. Then the frost & ice came, it was dark and I just didn't feel like riding. We booked a short vacation...

We purchased the BC Ferries SailPass, unlimited ferry Pass for the northern Gulf Islands and decided to drive onto as many islands as we could. There were some restrictions but basically you flashed your pass and were allowed onto how many ferries you wanted to travel on within 8 days, sort of unlimited...
