After my last few motocamping excursions, I think I finally know what I want in a tent. I haven't spent that much money on my camping supplies in the past simply because I wasn't sure whether or not I'd keep doing it. It's much easier to go to a hotel at the end of the day than it is to setup camp. However I find peace in an out of the way camp site so I believe I'll stick to motocamping.

Video: Making Adjustments
I haven't ridden as much as I would like the past few months but I have been thinking about making it easier to video the ride. New camera? Not in the budget just yet however I can do something about the mounts.

Gear: Evolution of my sound system
My Bike to Bike Integrated Audio System Solution.
It started not long after I started commuting. The song of the v-twin and wind just wasn't enough as I navigated through LA traffic. My first system was simple: Dollar store headphones that I inserted into my helmet plugged into my no skip cd player that was a leftover from when I owned my Jeep. That worked well enough until the need to talk to other riders arose while I planned a cross country trip. Most of the solutions back then cost multiple hundred dollars and weren't what I needed since I only figured I'd use it during the three week trip.

Ride Report: The Franklin Loop
3 Mar 2012: Are those snow flurries?
I didn't do a real ride in February. In fact, I didn't do much last month. I did ride the bike to look at houses but that's about it. The weather was part of it, my lupie mind the other. I just didn't feel like riding. I couldn't stop thinking about my bikes though and have mental plans for both of them. February was pretty much a wash as far as getting a "real" ride in for the month, so Cruzman and I planned to ride together the first weekend in March.

Ride Report: First Ride of 2012
28 Jan 2012: Playing Nice with Others
This ride was delayed because of my front wheel bearings. After I installed the extensions, I noticed the front wheel was a bit loose. I could actually wiggle it. With the image of the black powder from my rear wheel bearings fresh in my mind, I didn't hesitate to call OTC to see how much it would cost to get them replaced. It turned out to be a good thing because the Sunday we'd scheduled to ride dawned foggy then cloudy and finally rain.
