I Can't Express My Feelings.....
Today started out kinda crappy, but ended great.
How great?
Something like this: Winning the Lotto, Having a girlfriend who is a Nymphomaniac and her father owns a Liquor Store. And having a John Holmes sized Priaprism to use on her.
All rolled into one.
Yes. I got to rode my Motorcycle today!
It's gonna be my 4th year of having the BigBluePlasticKawasaki as the primary 2 wheeled conveyance in the garage soon. To say that I've grown accustomed to it would be somewhat of an understatement.
Due to mechanical problems with the bike and the G-d damned, "Global Warming" we've experienced here, I haven't ridden for almost 4 months.
That's just wrong.
It rained - AGAIN - till about 1100 am today. Which kept the fella with the bulldozer and the gravel trucks away again. It fucking SNOWED 2 weeks ago when he was gonna come and redo the driveway of the Command and Control Bunker. You would have to see the condition of this driveway to appreciate how badly I need this job done.
I was bummed this morning, to say the least. It started clearing up and drying out around noon. Hmmm... Maybe it'll get better?
Therapy Boy, the eldest offspring came by to help his Mom with a project around 2pm. OK, this is nice. Always nice to see the boy. And the Sun is shining.
I went out in the back yard and fired off about 200 rounds of .22 caliber love with the Ruger and was dialed in like a bitch. I attribute this to last weeks training session with, Mini-D that I should have told you about already. I'll save that for later, except to say that - He's a good teacher.
4:00 pm and the Sun is still out...... Hell, I walked out and checked the driveway and figured I could make it in and out without any major problems.
What the hell. Go for it.
Geared up and away I went.
I have not gone more than 30 days without riding since I bought that bike. The layoff of 4 months was bad. I really didn't know HOW bad it was till I got out on the road.
My damn face hurts from smiling.
No wonder I've been depressed. All the stupid, bad shit that's been going on over the last couple of months would have been a hell of a lot easier to deal with if I'd have been getting out on the Bike like I've always been used to.
If you think that's a silly notion.......... Piss Off.
You have no idea just how therapeutic it is to be able to just get out on 2 wheels. It's got to be cheaper than Prozac and way more effective.
Hell, I only rode about 25 miles. But the Sun was out and the temperature, while not real warm, was nice. High 50's or low 60's.
Shit. That's the real deal there. I wussed out and didn't stay out longer because I's left the rain gear in the garage and it was looking like it was gonna start raining any minute.
Dumb ass move on my part. It hasn't rained yet.
Still, I came home from just that short little ride and was physically tired. Not from any kind of exertion, but from the elation of being on the bike again.
To much happiness wears a body out. Who woulda' thought?
It took me all of about............. a 1/2 mile to feel totally comfortable again. I really can't tell you just how good it was.
And if you don't ride? You're never gonna know.
The weatherman says it's supposed to rain all week. - Screw it.
If I can get in and out of the place safely? I'm packing the rain gear and riding.
No Punishment To Great......
For a Sonofabitch like this - Cops: Neglected Boy, 4, Wasted Away to 10 Pounds. Some people don't deserve to steal oxygen from the rest of us.
G-d, I hate people anymore.
Science to the Rescue.......
The Japanese may be a bunch of goofy bastards who like their Porn girls dressed up in school girl costumes, but ya gotta love it when they put their minds to a real problem.
Man-made molecules reverse liver cirrhosis in rats.
Oh yeah. Pour me a pint of Boddingtons.
Sunday, March 30, 2008
It recently occurred to me on a long run (80 minutes in, right when the runner’s high kicks in per usual) that although I train solo most of the time, I have taken a lot of tips from the runners around me. And when I mean “the runners around me”, I mean the deer, bobcat, coyotes, fox, etc., who live in the Open Space Preserves and parks I am fortunate to call my home trails. The wildlife run and bound across the forest floor with a grace only known to wild, four-legged creatures that live every day in the wild. I have learned a great deal about trail running by watching each animal closely. Perhaps it is time for me to admit that Mother Nature is my coach.
The Bobcat – “Run Quietly”
Bobcats are the masters of “running quietly”. Every part of their body is moving deliberately, no energy wasted, no sound. Running quiet is an essential skill to a bobcat, quite simply because they kill their breakfast every morning. But it also has a lesson for trail runners too - running quietly means running efficiently.
When you try to minimize the impact (and thus the sound) that you make with each foot strike, you will find that you naturally shift your body position forward and recruit more leg muscles. Each foot strike reaches out to softly touch the ground mid-foot, thereby engaging more foot and calf muscles for strength and stabilization. I also find my core gets more engaged to keep my center of gravity moving forward at a constant rate. I’m not sure if it’s any faster, but it sure feels effortless. Plus it’s an added weapon in your arsenal should you need the element of surprise when passing somebody.
The polar opposite of “running quietly” is running with an iPod. If you’ve ever had an iPod-wearing trail runner cruise by you, then you know this (I am also guilty as charged). If you have an iPod, you’re going to need to turn it off for a while to get the feel for it. I mean, you’ve never seen a bobcat go running by with earphones on his big fuzzy ears, right?
The Deer – “Be Confident and Leap”
Deer are fascinating to watch when they bound down the hillside, especially when you give them a good scare (see previous note on iPods). When watched closely, you can see that deer “leap”, propelling their full weight forward in one motion, with only a rough idea of where they plan to land. I think trail runners can gain two insights into this. First, take a leap of faith that your skills are better than you think and stride with confidence. Second, use this confidence to throw yourself down the hill a little farther than comfortable.
If you’ve done your training, you likely can run downhill much faster than you think you can. Try leaning forward just until you can feel gravity pulling you down the hill. and allow yourself to leap a little farther down the hill with each stride. This takes practice, but can take some serious time off your descents. Plus it’s a lot of fun when you get in the groove. This is also a great match to “running quietly”.
The Fox – “Have Fun”
We have this crazy fox that moves into the neighboring forest every winter. I call him Loki (the Norse god of mischief), because he loves distracting me from my workout with a game of chase. Loki is all about having fun. He jumps out in front of me about 40 feet ahead on the trail, gets low and playfully jumps side to side, and then takes off at blinding speed while looking back at me. I pursue in full sprint, futilely trying to keep his huge tail in sight. He loses me every time, but will usually pop up on the trail 10-20 minutes later, taunting me with more yips and jumps.
Loki definitely has the right mindset for trail running. If you can’t have fun, why do it at all? And if you’re grumpy, try throwing in some sprints or a game of chase to get you back in the mood. There is nothing quite like a smile rooted in pure adrenaline.
Thank you for your wisdom, bobcat, deer, and fox. You show us that Mother Nature has plenty of coaching to share if we just open our minds to it. I will run quietly, leap downhill, and do it all with a smile on my face as instructed!
See you on the trails.

Saat ini gencar sekali Astra Honda Motor mengeluarkan produk-produk kuda besinya kepasaran baru-baru ini. Seperti kita ketahui seperti Fit X yang merupakan penyempurnaan dari Fit S. Dilanjutkan dengan new face lift dan new stripping pada Supra X 125 CW dan Supra X 125 PGMFI. Dan terakhir new stripping pada Honda Vario. Entah lah yang ada di benak petinggi-petinggi Honda (baca AHM). Yang penting 2007 ini mereka jangan sampai kesalip oleh Yamaha Motor Kencana Indonesia (YMKI) dalam hal total penjualan kendaraan roda dua.
Yang jadi pertanyaan, dengan begitu banyaknya produk-produk baru AHM di tahun 2007 ini, apakah AHM juga akan mengeluarkan produk-produk baru di tahun 2008 nanti? Eittt. Tunggu dulu. Jangan pesimis dulu dengan AHM. Sebab 2008 nanti, menurut salah satu sumber yang dikutip dari Tabloid Otomotif kemarin, justru akan keluar 5 produk baru baik itu penyempurnaan bodi, face lift, bahkan mesin. Untuk mesin bahkan ada yang benar-benar baru dan belum pernah dirilis selama Honda menginjakkan kakinya dibumi pertiwi ini. Apa saja itu
- Honda Air Blade
- Honda New Mega Pro
- Honda Sonic 125 cc
- Honda 135 cc
- Honda Revo 110 cc
Mari kita telaah satu per satu tentang produk baru tersebut.
1. Honda Air Blade.
Jelas sekali Air Blade yang telah dirilis Honda Thailand beberapa waktu yang lalu, akan menjadi pesaing kuat bagi Yamaha Nouvo Z maupun Suzuki Skywave yang baru diluncurkan. Dengan tipikal bebek-matic, dan bukan skuter-matic, tampaknya AHM menyadari penggemar motor matic 2008 bisa lebih besar dari motor manual.
2. Honda New Mega Pro
Masih belum jelas apa yang akan banyak dirubah pada New Mega Pro ini. Yang jelas akan lebih dimaksudkan agar bersaing dengan Yamaha Vixion yang sampai saat ini indennya saja masih panjang sekali. Tentunya AHM tidak mau tinggal diam, karena justru Mega Pro buatan AHM kalah bersaing. Bisa jadi New Mega Pro ini menggunakan teknologi injeksi seperti halnya Supra X 125 PGMFI yang sudah menggunakan teknologi injeksi.
3. Honda Sonic 125 cc
Honda Sonic ini sebenarnya saudara dari Honda CBR 125 yang dipasarkan di Eropa. Dengan tenaga yang mencapai 13,5 HP pada kitiran 10.500 rpm. Mesin Sonic ini juga sama dengan yang digunakan Honda CBR 150 yang banyak lalu lalang dijalanan Jakarta, cuma beda cc saja. Jelas-jelas AHM akan menjadikan Honda Sonic ini saingan dengan Suzuki Satria F150.
Dengan ukuran bore x stroke 58 x 47,2 mm, jelas akan membuat mesin ini cukup bertenaga dan membuat Honda percaya diri mengikuti balapan nasional dan tidak hanya menyelenggarakan OMR. Bila dibandingkan ukuran bore x stroke Supra X 125 yang mempunyai 52,4 x 57,9 mm yang mengandalkan keiritan, tampaknya AHM mulai menyadari justru mulai banyak orang yang suka dengan motor yang kencang, dibandingkan dengan motor yang irit. Selain itu, Honda Sonic ini sanggup menembus kecepatan 160 km/jam dengan mesin standar.
4. Honda mesin baru 135 cc
Apa yang ada dipikiran banyak orang dengan produk baru Honda 135 cc ini? Di Indonesia tidak ada satupun yang bermain pada cc ini kecuali Yamaha. Produk pesaing jelas-jelas Jupiter MX 135 cc yang sudah berpendingin air. Namun belum jelas juga apakah AHM akan mengusung mesin yang berteknologi sama, atau hanya bore-up saja dari mesin 125 cc nya.
5. Honda Revo 110 cc
Saat ini kita tahu Honda Revo hanya menggunakan mesin 100 cc peninggalan Astrea jadul (jaman dulu - red). Dengan peningkatan kapasitas mesin Revo ini, jelas akan head-to-head dengan Suzuki Smash 110 cc dan Jupiter Z 110cc.
For sport touring with an emphasis on Sport, the Interceptor continues to stand far above all others thanks to its exemplary handling, high-performance VTEC engine and long-range amenities.
Universally considered one of Honda's most illustrious race-bred sportbikes, the Interceptor® is also arguably one of the best all-around streetbikes ever built. Featuring a fuel-injected, VTEC-equipped V-4, aluminum chassis, antilock braking (ABS), and an all-new color scheme for '08, this is a machine, though born of the track, whose razor-sharp performance is equally at home on any paved surface.
Reviewer after reviewer has praised the Honda VFR800A Interceptor as the best all-round performer on the road. And no wonder. Its 781cc V-four is one of the most sophisticated motorcycle engines in the world, featuring Honda's VTEC variable valve-timing system that allows it to perform like two engines in one. Fuel injection delivers the precise amount of fuel for optimum performance, and you can't help but notice the Pro Arm single-sided swingarm, underseat mufflers, twin-spar aluminum frame, and a seating position that's all-day comfortable. Hop on a VFR800A Interceptor, and find out for yourself what everyone's been talking about.

It's January and that means that its time for the annual three day extravaganza of world premieres that is the Detroit Auto Show. Dozens of production and concept vehicles will be vying for the attention of the gathered throngs of journalists that make the trek to the Motor City from all corners of the globe. This year's Detroit show press days run from Sunday, Jan. 13, through Tuesday, Jan. 15.
As in years past, the Detroit Three will be hogging much of the limelight, with center stage likely going to Ford and Dodge, as both will be rolling out all-new versions of their iconic F-150 and Ram trucks. In addition, Chrysler will be showing off a troika of eco-friendly concepts, GM will roll officially roll out its monster Corvette ZR1 and the V version of the CTS, along with a smattering of green machines including Saturn Vue Green Line Two Mode. Ford will also showcase the possible future of the Explorer with the Explorer America Concept.
Notable debuts from Asia include the production version of the Hyundai Genesis sedan, Nissan's FORUM concept, a crossover sedan from Toyota called Venza, a prototype of the next-generation Honda Pilot and Mazda's Furai race car. The Germans are also bringing plenty of sheetmetal from Europe, including the first ever U.S.-bound BMW diesels, the Baby Benz GLK ute, performance-themed Audis and a special Volkswagen Passat.
The Chinese are coming to Detroit again too, and this time in greater numbers. Five Chinese automakers in all will be present in Detroit. Making repeat appearances are Geely (2006) and Changfeng (2007). The three newcomers are BYD Auto, Chamco, and Li Shi Guang Ming. BYD is best known for its Brilliance sedan, which infamously failed Euro NCAP tests, Chamco is the American operation for a company called Zhongxing, headed by Steve Saleen, and Li Shi Guang Ming is a small purveyor of small electric cars.
