Kick-Ass Motorcycle Scenes in the Movies: Deja Vu
2007-08-29 06:58:00
<br/>& amp;amp;lt;br>While I’m in between motorcycles and riding I thought I’d write about some of the most kick-ass motorcycle scenes in movies. Now “kick-ass” can imply many things, crazy stunts, expert riding, unique machines, etc. At times I may write about kick-ass movies that would have likely been more kick-ass with a motorcycle scene. The first installment is just such a movie, Deja Vu staring Denzel Washington as an ATF agent investigating an act of domestic terrorism in New Orleans (no, it’s not the Administration’s handling of Katrina). What makes this movie kick-ass is the extreme geeky undertones mixed with explosions and gun play. If you’ve seen the trailer you probably don’t realize how truly geeky this movie is; make no mistake, there’s a fairly reasonable discussion of folding the space-time continuum (a.k.a., time travel). It’s not as accurate or in-depth as the explanation on the tenth dimension b...

Best Coffee in Coastal North County
2007-08-28 23:47:00
If you are riding the coast on a Harley Davidson Nightster, or any other motorcycle, and decide you could use a caffeine boost I recommend the 7-Eleven at 1446 Encinitas Blvd. It appears to be a family owned store (franchise) where the coffee is always fresh, literally twelve or more pots on the burner at any time, and plenty of choices on blends and flavors. The service is always polite and, being a 7-eleven, you can spend the money you would have spent on some fancy coffee drink for a power bar. Of course, you have to be willing to pour your own cup. Check out:7-ELEVEN #174751446 ENCINITAS BLVDENCINITAS, CA 92024-2930

Sunday Ride Update
2007-08-28 01:22:00
Well I don't feel like a total wuss for not riding on Sunday morning as the North County Times reports flooding and lightening in Escondido and Valley Center. "I was out on the freeway responding to an accident at about 6 a.m., and it was right on top of us. We could see bolts hitting the ground everywhere," said fire Capt. Art Holcomb in the North County Times article. This type of weather would have made riding the twisty, and likely very slippery, roads of East County a real bummer, even if I were riding a Harley Davidson Nightster.

No Ride This Weekend
2007-08-27 02:01:00
My buddy John and I had planned to go out on the 76 East this morning and ride East to the 79 and down to the 78. The weather had a different plan and we scrapped the ride due to thunder and lightening in the Eastern sky. Given it wasn't raining at home I would have headed out but with both my 2003 Suzuki SV650S and 2003 BMW F650GS Dakar for sale I did not want to risk having any wet weather issues.I'm looking forward to Labor Day weekend and taking a rental Sportster XL1200 for a ride along the aforementioned route. Seems like those windy roads East of Escondido and Valley Center are made for a Harley Davidson Nightster.

No Test Ride this Weekend
2007-08-26 05:20:00
I was hoping to rent a Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 from the local dealer this weekend to get an extended test ride, but the bike had already been reserved. Now I'm going to have to go out on my 2003 Suzuki SV650S (not a problem, its a great bike). The good news is that I've planned ahead and have the Sportster XL1200C reserved for Labor Day. I'm really looking forward to having a chance to feel what it's like ride the bike even though the rental is not a 2008 Harley Davidson XL1200 Sportster 1200 Nightster but a Sportster Custom.

Why the Nightster?
2007-08-25 08:29:00
First, I have to admit I have not been a Harley Davidson fan; sure every now and then I'd see a decent looking Harley but the chrome, leather and tassels just don't match my Teutonic definition of what a motorcycle should be. I'm more into clean form and performance, at least that's what I tell myself but time has proven that performance is not as important as I'd thought or hoped. What's become important is a comfortable ride with reasonable seat of the pants power, more specifically torque, and a bike that looks as good as it rides. Honestly, I see myself as more a BMW rider than on a Harley Davidson but the new Nights ter may just change my mind.The 2008 Harley Davidson XL1200 Sportster 1200 Nightster is a slick looking machine. It emphasizes the 1200cc power plant, putting it out in the air to cool and show all what a v-twin looks like. The bike itself is retro cool, looking like a modified Sportster 1200L Low, with bobbed fenders, blacked out trim and the ever so bitchin c...
