Good luck with his weed management training. He is up to speed with grasses and some herbs. The transition to Bishops Weed should be easy….

re: his interesting face. when he sits with his neck elongated and erect, he looks just like the horse in the chess set.

He’s a working dog now. The name is June.

Harv: The new dog has changed things around the house. For the better. I’m actually getting exercise for one!

The Triumphs are pretty nice. I hope to ride a lot more of them.

bobskoot: When it is really hot I will ride without the armored pants but a part of me is uncomfortable doing it. Not enough though to stop. When it’s cooler I have no trouble wearing all the gear.

I think starter motorcycles would be a great idea for a story. I’ll talk with Craig about it and see what we come up with.

emceedee: Junior is gets more comfortable in his new home everyday and is pushing and testing limits as well. Kim and I are glad to have him as part of the family.

The Triumph Thunderbird seems to really be seeking those riders who want a cruiser, don’t want a Harley, but still want something full of tradition and style. The Thunderbird seems to meet that need well.

I’m working on a piece about the Thunderbird which should appear something this week. I was pleasantly surprised about it.

Congratulations on your iMac and Nikon D700. A potent combination. That’s what I use at Penn State along with an automated backup system running on a 1 Terabyte firewire drive.

I’ve considered more than once dumping all my film gear and investing in some new digital and computer gear. But then I pick up a silver print and go “whoa, that’s nice…”

The Thunderbird has returned to the dealership now and I have a lot of pictures and thoughts to get together in a post. Definitely a nice riding machine.

Charlie6: I’m not sure why but the weight of the Triumph Thunderbird is deceiving. It doesn’t feel much different than the Bonneville. And it will go fast!
