Here's my 1979 Yamaha XS Eleven. It's my daily rider. In fact I didn't even have a car for 10 years, just motorcycles. Unfortunately my bike needs an engine rebuild, so I'm driving a 300K+ miles '84 Subaru wagon for the time being.

Listened to Ray Charles while at work last night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAjeSS3kktA

Thank you. Here's today's hat: a well-worn Eddy Bros Black Hills.

Here's the family photo. I only own two of them, the others are owned by my roommate. Top row, left to right: Squier Telecaster (his), Danelectro Dano Pro (mine), Marshall acoustic (his) Middle row, left to right: Squier Stratocaster (his), Epiphone Wilshire '66 with tremolo (mine), Gretsch...

I picked up a 4-CD boxset of songs by Maxine Sullivan from Proper Records. She was an exceptional singer, a real "singer's singer." I love these Proper boxsets. I have nearly 140 of them (out of about 155.) 5 hours of music for about $25, plus a very well researched and written book that's...

I'm a fan of American bourbons. A few of my favorites are Maker's Mark, Jefferson's, and Bulliet, but I'm always trying something new, too. I just got a bottle of Dead Guy Whiskey from the Rogue Distillery in Oregon. It's interesting. It's distilled from the sweet wort of Rogue's Dead Guy Ale. I...

I went to a shop in a mall yesterday called "Lids." Thought I'd look for a new fedora. Instead, all it had were baseball caps. Nothing but baseball caps everywhere I looked. Utterly disappointing. So I am feeling a bit anti-baseball cap right now. I'm not entirely anti-baseball cap, though...

My roommate wants in on this now. He's not a forum joiner, but he is a hat enthusiast. This is the hat he was wearing today. He found it at Target.

As a matter of fact, I do. I only have four hats right now, but I wear a hat every day. I will be buying many more in the future. Glad you like the avatar. The radial engine is, to me, a strong symbol of that era's transportation. As a former Air Force sergeant and son of a retired Boeing...

I'm wearing my Minnetonka Outback. A nice rough leather outdoor hat in tan.

Thank you. I've been reading the threads and getting a feel for the place. It looks like a mighty fine joint you folks have here.

Hello, everyone. I'm new here. Let's see, what is there to tell you about me? I'm 48, I was in the Air Force for 8 years in the '80s, I'm an experienced motorcyclist and a poor guitarist (although I keep working at it). For most of my life, I've been a jeans and t-shirt kind of guy, but I'm...

I'm wearing my Eddy Bros Lite Felt Cougar. Very comfortable and great when it's raining.
