...so, i've attempted to mount a camera on the moto. initial results are mixed. i've used nylon zip-ties on the left mirror, and a tripod hanging off the luggage rack. both positions affect the moto's handling...but the real problem is that the timer is short: i've got to set the exposure-hit the timer-mount the bike-raise the stand-engage the ( Read more... )

It was a really, really fast trip. I came in on Thursday and left on Saturday w/ nephew in tow. We only really had time to do the Pier on Friday.

Next time I'll have more time and I will definately get in touch. I'd like a long weekend to scout locations for a possible move.

hi austin. i tried to ring you (on the cell) a few days (week?) ago - but received an earful of high-pitched electronic noise when the call went through. hmmm.

come, and take the simon tour. maybe, borrow my moto - if you promise to be nice to her. or, i'll meet you someplace in cali.

if we lived closer, it would be good to drink, together. i have thought about meeting you at a local tavern. but i have also imagined us, both, broke and alcoholic within a month. sometimes, distance is a good thing. ha.

Just remembered where Chicago is...midwest right?
So it is a river/lake/body of water and it is a windy day...
