How about a Solowheel? I’m guessing you’d need a good sense of balance! I’d add some gloves and maybe a helmet for safety. It is like an electric unicycle! I am so glad you stopped by today and checked out this post! I started this blog to document my journey into motorcycling and along the […]
My Favorite Bike
An old friend recently posted a picture of me she found at her parent’s home. It is me on my grandfather’s Penny-farthing. This bike had been in my dad’s family for years. It had wooden wheels with a medal strip around the outside that made contact with the road. I think the only update it ever […]

That should […]

What to do when you can’t do what you want!
What to do when you can’t do what you want! Okay. I finally get a motorcycle and license and what happens? Weather and road construction!! The weather overall has not been biker friendly with high humidity and heat or heavy rains. Then there is the road construction between me and anywhere!! I came home from […]
