Title: Shameless Plug
Post by: tretnine on May 20, 2011, 06:02:37 AM: My blog is about motorcycles and Life. It's found here:

My brother called the other day.

“Hey, I'm going to Europe. Is there anything I should know?” he asked.

Chad wants my opinion because I'm the family 'expert.' I flew to Europe on two separate occasions, which makes me Magellan. Chad has traveled, when he was as a toddler, our dad drove the family to visit our grandparents in Mesa, Arizona. I think the 'active' pace of retirement-town living left a lasting impression on the boy. He's meticulous and slow to action. It's gained him the name 'Chops,' short for 'pussy chops.'

And yes, I do own an 09 Connie.

Post by: throb on May 20, 2011, 04:28:34 PM: One of the best blogs I've read was written by a young lady who rode her bike through the Chernobyl area. She was familiar with the area before it was nuked, and she describes the after. This was a few years and a few computers ago, and somewhere in time I lost the website.

Post by: Bergmenized on June 03, 2011, 06:24:59 PM: I'd guess that is a Honda CL-350, maybe a 1969 vintage?

Just a WAG.

Title: Re: Shameless Plug
Post by: tretnine on June 03, 2011, 08:02:26 PM: Bergmen, that one is a 360, I can't remember the year, but yeah, it's a CL - the scrambler model.

Thanks for reading. I appreciate you taking the time to check it out.
