I experimented with it late last night. I think one of the commenters Mark M. in the earlier post is right. While my eyes get a little weary with the black background the all white is way too in your face. And every time I change Themes all my Widgets have to be reloaded which is a pain so I’m not going to do too much of that till I have more time. I’ll sit tight for a while and experiment with the CSS code later. Thanks Everyone.

Anyone mind if I change colors?
My eyes can’t really take the white text on black background anymore. It seemed to work a little better over on blogger. I experimented with different fonts and sizes but I’m not really thrilled with it. So I was thinking of reversing it with a slightly different theme. I know a lot of you have expressed that they’d like a change but are there any objections either way?
Ducati Diavel…. different strokes and all that…
…but definitely not built for my tastes. tomato… tomaaaato…
I sense a disturbance in the force.
We’ve come a loooong way folks. For all the detail go check out the excellent post at Asphalt and Rubber. An all electric motorcycle has finished second against a field of internal combustion engined racebikes. (literbike v-twin – in the WERA Heavyweight Twins Superbike & Superstock race classes). The video is interesting. You can see the great torque characteristics of the bike. But I find the electric whine tho be like fingernails on a chalkboard. Earplugs would be mandatory.
A reminder to those of us in the warmer climates…
Dragonnester has a message for all those “fair weather” riders LOL
He writes:
It’s a pic of my DR-Z400S at the shore of Tellico Lake in East TN. I was trying to get some of the armchair adventurers to ride instead of watching TV or playing “Call of Duty” on X-box. Too many fair weather riders these days…especially the juveniles. I would have been the same way, probably, if I could have gotten the thrills without the effort when I was a kid.
Great Shot! But I guess that I’m on the soft side then because even though I’ve been to Tellico Lake many times I don’t think you’d get me there in that weather.
What a Great Wanderlust Photo! Could be a BMW Ad!
Joe Snyder over on ADV Rider was gracious enough to let me re-post this fantastic photograph! And he also let me know about a new blog he’s starting that I thing is a just a great idea!
He writes in:
That’s a great blog you’ve got and it’s now in my favorites
That was taken Sep 18th 2010 on The Whiteface Veterans Memorial Highway. That’s Lake Placid in the background
On a similar note, I have just put up a blog www.adventurefoodnetwork.com where i am aiming to get riders to post the places they eat on the road as a reference for others who may be travelling the same areas. I’d love to have you check it out and possibly pass it along to anyone you know who may be interested in that type of thing
Happy New Year
Like I told him, I think food travel and motorcycles are as natural a fit for a blog as there is. I’m jealous I never thought of it. Be sure and pay him a visit and if you’ve got material for his blog send it along! I now have an excuse to take a ride to my favorite local pub and get him some material. BONUS! Thanks again Joe!
Death Valley Dualsport Wanderlust…
Mike Lewis over on ADV rider was kind enough to let me post this great panorama of shot from Death Valley.
He sent a message along:
It was taken in Feb 2010 and is along the Wildrose Cnayon road in Death Valley National Park. It was my first trip there and spent most of the trip riding with a group of Ural sidecar riders that gather there every winter for offroad riding adventures. I also meet them in Moab each year in April. Also last year my wife flew down to Sedona AZ and we toured our way through the national parks back to the camper in Moab (on our tour bike).
I have a TE610 (in the picture) and a TE450 for single track riding. I like to load up the camper and head out to great DS ridng places for a few days at a time, including many Dual Sports Ride events through the greater Pacific Northwest. I keep a fairly full riding schedule each year. Besides Moab this year, I plan to spend a few weeks in Idaho and Western Colorado where I will meet a couple of the Moab riding buddies that live in Colorado and ride with them in their backyard.
I’ll come right out and say it. I’m so freaking jealous of what you guys have available to you out west. Florida is great but for trail riding, unless you like riding narrow trails with soft sand, it can get annoying.
The LSL W800 Kawasaki.
I know it’s been all over the web already but I still can’t resist. What a beauty. Fot LOTS more just google LSL W800
Someone was asking about the header photo…
Here it is in the all original format. The bikes were photographed at Deals Gap a few years back under the “Tree of Shame”. The Kawasaki H2 owned by a fellow that went by the board name of Hebman (and I’m embarrassed to say that I don’t recall his full name). He was the master of the highly polished bike. i didn’t know the owner of the CBX. Sure made for a pretty picture though. I’m sure I’ve posted it waaaay back at sometime but anyway, here it is again. Click for large original format.
I love a good self portrait.
I just don’t understand how people can do it so well while riding. Cool shot indeed! Thanks to Tefloncandy over on ADV Rider!
