    Looking at Bikes

    That's good. An HD is a big step if you have been away from it for a while. It is wise to do the country roads just as you say, and the MSF BRC and ERC courses are very good. David Hough writes some great safety books too. Things have gotten very dangerous with the advent of cell phones, so...

    New boots to get??

    memphislawyer, I generally only have boots that are for functional reasons. I have found Red Wing to be an excellent brand. I have a set of motorcycle boots from them that I have been using at least for a decade. Had the soles redone on them once. They are just below the calf lace boots...

    Thoughts on new jacket: Langlitz vs Himel vs Aero

    Rosecitymike. Don't worry about not being a rider. I'm an old rider, and would never wear one of these on a bike. They are too nice. I call these "fashion" motorcycle jackets. I have a nice fashion jacket I wear when I am not riding, looks good with jeans or chinos. For riding a I wear a...

    Old Leather Shaving Kit Needs New Liner

    I have a nice shaving kit made of good quality leather. Unfortunately the liner was some type of vinyl. I guess the designer's intent was to have the vinyl liner so that wet things could be thrown in there. In any case, after a couple of decades of use the vinyl is all ripped up. The vinyl...

    Recommendation for Leather Gloves

    I'd like a recommendation(s) for leather gloves. I would like them to be brown, but black or very deep blue like the old calf-skins I used to see would be okay too. I need the leather skin to be thin and close to the fingers so that I can actually do things with my fingers while wearing the...

    do you have many friends?

    I have always thought a man makes his last set of lifelong friends either during college or during his first tour in the military. All fellow men met after that are just colleagues. I can count my lifelong friends on my fingers, and all were made earlier or in accordance with the above.

    Freemasons seeing a spike in new membership

    Like I said up-thread, I am a Mason. I haven't met a Mason yet that considers Freemasonry a religion. In fact the origin of it is actually to get away from religion. The only requirement for joining being that you believe in a deity, but not any particular one.

    Chamois Shrit Thread

    I'm in Houston. These shirts are great for our mild winter nights when the air is just cool. However, my main objective is to have them as a carry-on for my motorcycle rides down into Mexico. These rides are typically at higher altitudes, either mountainous or high plains deserts, where even...

    Chamois Shrit Thread

    Any pointers on material quality, thickness, etc? The Redheads seem to have a nice thick gauge on them, and so am wondering what the range of gauges are in the marketplace. These shirts are really comfortable!

    Chamois Shrit Thread

    I picked up a couple of these the other day. Redhead brand. New. I am interested in any recommendations for other chamois shirts, vintage or new, that you find practical for outdoor wear. Currently I use these somewhat as an outer garment on cool evenings as opposed to a light jacket or...

    Freemasons seeing a spike in new membership

    BTW, just for the record I am a Mason. I find these latest perversions hilarious. In reality folks, it's just a bunch of guys getting together to have fun and do some charity work. There is no conspiracy type stuff. Doran is pretty on the spot with this.

    The Ernest Hemingway Thread

    Seems like you are the one who needs to read. As I said in that post, "It is a shame that you have to resort to posting such quotes, even though not your own..." Did you not read the whole post? So yet again in your haste, you you make yourself look like a fool. Read post #45 again, and this...

    The Ernest Hemingway Thread

    CB, I see you are doing more Googling to help your shallow understanding of things. It has become apparent that your resident scholarship is non existent. Wiki-scholarship abounds in this modern age but you aren't even adept enough to make it look like you really know something about the...
