I say it every year; the Leesburg Bikefest motorcycle rally is the best Florida rally there is. It is better than Daytona, if less well-known. I rode to the rally this morning solo. The Binary Princess is in Phoenix, AZ visiting a close friend. The kids stayed at home. I was, for the first time […]

Leesburg Bikefest 2012

Leesburg Bikefest 2012 was a roaring success. The Binary Princess, our children, and I all had a great time today, as you will see from the photos below. The ride to Bikefest was great. My youngest son, Christopher, rode with me while the rest of the family drove separately. The trip was about 45 miles […]

I was riding through Ormond Beach, Florida yesterday when a fellow biker pulled up next to me and asked for directions to St. Augustine. Of course I assisted, but as he rode away I noticed the stickers on his helmet and his saddle bags. His helmet had a picture of a hand giving the finger, […]

I wrote a post a while back about “Biker Etiquette.” In it, I cried foul on Florida riders for waving based on “cliques” or bike type. Cruisers only wave to other cruisers. Rice only waves to rice. As spring comes into full swing in Florida and all the part-time bikers are back on the road, I’ve noticed […]

Yes – the Binary Biker finally has a new ride. Just in time for Daytona Bike Week 2012! My old ride, the 1992 Honda Nighthawk CB750 has served me well. It has seen me through the toughest phases of my life, but she was a small bike and after my ride to Kentucky and back, […]

The weekend is over and the results are in: Biketoberfest 2011 was a success. 4 our of 5 drunk bikers agree. I rode to Daytona on Saturday with my lovely wife, Carey, and my very, very good friend John. On Sunday I rode by myself and met up with another good friend, Jaime, and his […]
Read more Corbin Seat Fail
June 24, 2011 2 Comments
I bought my Corbin seat for my 1992 Nighthawk 750 about 5 years ago. Initially I loved the seat – it was a million times better than the stock seat. But, as you can see from the picture, it is falling apart fast – and I’ve put less than 7,000 miles on that seat! I have taken […]

I ride because it is fun. I ride because I enjoy the freedom I feel from being exposed to the elements, and the vulnerability to the danger that is intrinsic to riding. I do not ride because it is fashionable to do so. I ride my machine, not wear it. My machine is not a […]

This was my first year at the Leesburg Bikefest. I always imagined it being some rinky-dink affair, a pale clone of Daytona’s Bikeweek or Biketoberfest. After all, it’s in Leesburg, a rinky-dink town about 45 miles outside of Orlando, without even the benefit of a beach nearby to draw visitors. I was absolutely wrong. Leesburg […]

I may take an 800-mile road trip on my bike in December. My good buddy Ron just bought himself a new motorcycle and is coming down to visit me in December and we have tentatively decided I will meet him halfway and ride back with him.. If I do meet him halfway, I’ll need chaps […]
