Commuting: The gridlock rant
If I hadn’t previously mentioned, I hate commuting. I commute directly through downtown virtually everyday for work; it’s painful. First world problems I suppose, but frankly I just can’t get over the way people behave behind the wheel. I’m sure … Continue reading
Scrambler: The Motorcycle Sweet Spot?

Cleveland IMS: The Kawasaki that surprised me
