    Someone to Lean On

    Matt, My very best prayers for my friends ( and future Hudson Valley neighbors ) in Japan. This is tough tough but you are also tough. I lost my mom and my grandmother to cancer and I remember the fear and the demons too. May hope be like a shiny Triumph tank badge around the gas...

    I feel for you guys stuck in snow, honest, but...

    let it snow

    It was pretty bad. Friday morning it seemed like nothing so a lot of people went to work and didn't make it back home that afternoon. Connecticut and Long Island got absolutely hammered. This first picture is Saturday afternoon so those cars have been stuck there about 24 hours, many of them...

    Barking Dogs

    I followed your path slowgator. I think my neighbor is really pissed. My dog barked for 3 seconds today when I came home and she yelled over the fence " I'm calling the cops!" I feel truly awful calling the police on a neighbor. I know they will hate me now. But I had 5 years of this...

    A word of appreciation

    +1 BlueJ. Well said. Nice bunch and different vibe. The internet is filled with assholes who put other people down but I don't see that at NBR. And I have gotten some killer deals on used parts too. :woot::beer:

    A word of appreciation

    the "Rogue"

    I basically decided to go back to only full face for safety. However, I feel the sore temptation ( and I know I will eventually give in) to ride with an open face sometimes, just when its nice, just around town, just on back roads. This helmet just seems weird.
