Dave Geertsen’s Steampunk Motorcycle
I stumbled across this amazing fabricated motorcycle created by Dave Geertsen that floored me. It’s pretty out there, but has a certain appeal to its uniqueness. From their website: Is it a Harley Davidson, Triumph, Indian, Yamaha, Honda, BSA, BMW or what??? None of these brands are this bike, it is its own entity, a scrap form of gray matter! I have always been motivated to create something people have to think twice about!

Winter Storage
That time has come here in Ontario. Some have already stored their bikes, some keep it ready for any final decent riding days. Buck has already mentioned a fantastic service for storing your bike through the winter here. This post is for those who, like me, will store the bike themselves.

I also invited my girlfriend along, letting her know of course that she would be signing up for nearly 800 miles in 3 days in very cold weather.

That time of year again: bike storage for the winter
Sadly, especially with living in Canada, with the last quarter of the year comes the tracking of the daily temperature highs and lows.

This year however, a good opportunity for storage came up and I figured that with being busy with school and work, it was

Google Street View now in Toronto and surrounding area …
A couple weeks ago my girlfriend and I were driving up Brock Street in Whitby when we saw a small car with a tripod mounted on the roof and several cameras pointing in all directions. It took about .002 seconds for me to realize it was a Google car taking photos for Street View. Sure enough, today I found Google Street View up for Toronto and surrounding area, and there we were: View Larger Map Not ashamed to admit I wasted an hour or so scouring the maps trying to find myself or anyone close to me.
