Over the summer it was time to pay some attention to the front brakes of the trusty 1977 Honda CB550K. The outer brake line had cracked. There must be an inner hose as well, because no fluid leaked out, but it was still rather nerve wracking to see. Add in a very mushy lever feel, [...]

Welcome WR250X
This week I added a new motorcycle into my garage – one 2008 Yamaha WR250X. Check the gallery for more pics I’ve been thinking about getting a motard for a while now. The timing was right, so after doing my research, I pulled the trigger. I mainly need a commuter bike, and the local twisties [...]

Inaugural Red Bull Indianapolis MotoGP

Well hi there.
A new website from scratch will take me, well, just about forever. That’s where WordPress comes in. I’ll change themes when I can come up with a design I like. I’ll update when I can, posting info about side projects and the occasional cute kid or motorcycle photo. See ya around. Jeff
City Rec Softball
I play city rec softball on Monday nights. I played for years from my late teens until my mid 20′s. Then I moved away from my town and quit playing because I didn’t know of any leagues. After moving back to Ottawa last year, I started playing again, and it has felt great. My wife [...]
