Motorcycle Resources

Do you use synthetic motor oil in your motorcycle?

Buying a replacement motorcycle battery? Who made it, and how to make it last longer.

Spring is on the way, and if you aren't lucky enough to have a long-lasting motorcycle battery, you're probably going to be buying a new motorcycle battery soon.

Here are a couple of resources that can help you choose a new motorcycle battery.

First, here's a Consumer Reports automotive battery article that says, in part:

Most auto batteries are made by just three manufacturers, Delphi, Exide, and Johnson Controls Industries. Each makes batteries sold under several different brand names. Delphi makes ACDelco and some EverStart (Wal-Mart) models. Exide makes Champion, Exide, Napa, and some EverStart batteries. Johnson Controls makes Diehard (Sears), Duralast (AutoZone), Interstate, Kirkland (Costco), Motorcraft (Ford), and some EverStarts.

The day I nearly lost my leg

Reading a blog entry on HarleyThoughts.com about a gruesome incident reminded me the day I came within inches of losing my right leg.

It was 1980. It was late on a Summer Saturday afternoon. I was 20 years old, full of the dumbass fearlessness that so often accompanies youth. I was riding a 1969 Harley Shovelhead. I accelerated quickly from an intersection on a busy main drag, leaving the rest of the cars behind. I wasn't racing, but I was moving along faster than the rest of traffic. I wasn't wearing a helmet—this was long before California eliminated that choice.

Alex Bell and Andres Pacheco (who are engineering majors at Swarthmore College) spent two years and approx. $10,000 developing the motorcycle for a class project.

Restaurant Review: Sticky Chicken and Ribs in Brentwood, California

Easy to miss: Unassuming sign is easily overlooked - but this place is worth looking for.
Easy to miss: Unassuming sign is easily overlooked - but this place is worth looking for.
We had dinner at the Sticky Chicken & Ribs restaurant in Brentwood (near the Sacramento river delta) the other night. All I can say is: WOW! Great food, great service, reasonable prices, and casual surroundings.

The place was pretty busy for a Tuesday evening - shortly after we arrived, there was a big crowd, occupying most tables.

We ordered the "Sticky Chicken" dinner (a delectable dish made up of fried chicken with a sticky-sweet BBQ glaze), an old-fashioned burger, and a side of grilled zucchini.

Flossie, the Castrol robotic motorcycle rider...

The uber-techs at Castrol have been hard at work perfecting a bad-ass robotic test "rider". Well, it doesn't really ride, but it can sit atop the motorcycle and do all the throttle, clutch, and shift actions that a human rider does.

Among the many stated benefits:
