VROD oil change
by Editor on 12/03/20
For a number of years now Amsoil 20W-50 V-twin synthetic oil paired with the Amsoil oil filter is what we've been using in both our 2003 Harley Davidson Vrods. I highly recommend the speciality oil wrench tool from Harley-Davidson, it slides right over the oil filter and using a 3/8 extension makes for easy removal in a confined space.
Motorcycle winter storage
by Editor on 11/28/20
It's that time of year that riders dread, winter....
I've given this one a good cleaning and polishing, hooked up the battery tender, jacked it up off the ground, and securely strapped it down. Now it's already for the fitted motorcycle cover and wait out the winter.
... or until the next mods begin ; )

Escape Parked Motorcycle Syndrome
by Editor on 11/24/20
We know there's a lot of people out there that have had to park their bikes until Spring...
We asked the question: Would you like us to post some motorcycle riding videos 30 to 60 minutes long, with no editing, no music, just the sounds of the wind in your face and the motorcycle's engine and exhaust? The response was overwhelmingly YES : )
We've built an interactive map below using Google Maps. Click on a red marker and a video of that exact area opens up showing you exactly what it's like to ride that road.
To help everyone get through the winter, turn on a space heater and fan in front of your monitor, pick a destination, push play and you're virtually riding....
Vrod cam tensioner covers
by Editor on 11/14/20
When it comes to customizing a motorcycle I'm a firm believer that, "the Devil's in the details" it's the little things that make the over all presentation pop. Scott Fitzgerald of Fitzgerald Motorsports has come through once again with this beautiful cam tensioner cover!

VROD Rally t-shirts
by Editor on 11/07/20
My order of Midwest Thunder V-Rod Rally t-shirts arrived from Fitzgerald Motorsports yesterday!
I would have loved to been able to attend these events but unfortunately I was unable to make it so a t-shirt souvenir will have to do.
They still have some left, you can order yours at Fitzgerald Motorsports
Another cool old barn
by Editor on 11/06/20
We find the coolest barns in our travels, some are pristine, some are falling down but they all make a great backdrop for a photo shoot.

Thumb squeegee

No, I'm not doing the unicorn salute... LOL
I'm using the built in squeegee on the thumb of Rukka's Argosaurus glove to remove the fogs water droplets.
Motorcycling in the fog
by Editor on 10/09/20
Well looks like it's that time of the year again, motorcycle riding in the fog... Many years ago when I rode a shovel head chopper wearing a leather jacket, jean vest, jeans, chaps and a beanie for a helmet I was chilled to the bone.
I'm sure glad those days are long gone and now I get to wear the most technologically advanced motorcycle riding gear in the world made by Rukka Motorsports. It's been over three years now and both Diane and myself have thrown everything at this gear from the damp fog, sub zero temperatures to over 40 degrees celsius and it's performed flawlessly!
Smoke or fog
by Editor on 10/07/20
Got out for a short ride yesterday on the backroads of Langley and found myself on this old dead end road, not sure if that's smoke or fog but I like the effect.
