RIDE ON SUNDAY POST FOR JUNE 23, 2013
Hey, I’m getting a late start. A magnificent redhead from my past wandered into my life recently and spent the night. We had a lot of catching up to do and ate breakfast of Mole enchilidas this morning at the little Mexican restaurant up the street, Maya’s. This small restaurant in an old brick building,

MERRY CHRISTMAS SUNDAY POST
Hey, In this down economy opportunities surface. Take for instance this little company 5-Ball Inc. and all the projects we have in store for 2012 with Sturgis, Bonneville, bike building, site building, more books, you name it. Take a look at our tiny niche industry. Lots of companies are gone, but I still believe motorcycles

Hey, Damn, we’re slamming directly into the holidays once more. The weather has gone to shit in big chunks of the country, and the bastards turned the clocks back, so it will get darker earlier. How does that make sense? We need more light in the winter. Ah, but we always have the Sunday Post

LOVE RIDE SUNDAY POST
Hey, Another crazy day in paradise. The first Mudflap FXR will be running tomorrow. I tuned the Compu-fire ignition last night, while waiting for Sin Wu to deliver my dinner at midnight.

Too Late Sunday Post
Hey, Life is nuts and so is the news. Get this, the Post office is about cooked. They need to downsize or they will be out of business. They just don’t compete anymore with e-mail, UPS, or Fedex. They can’t pay the 5.5 billion dollar payment to fund future retirees’ healthcare benefits. Seems Congress has
