Photo-A-Day #144 08/30/05 I ran down from Brookings to Sioux City Iowa to Rooster’s Harley-Davidson to pick up a pin. Parked outside was this very elaborate trike. It was named the Joker. Pretty sweet.

The Alpha has been sold. I sold the Alpha to Kelly this morning at 9:15. She used to have a 2003 and it had an untimely demise, but now she has my old Alpha and is back on the road. I’ll miss the bike but I know that I’ll get another one someday down the road. But not soon.

Photo-A-Day #120 08/06/05 Hopefully I will sell my motorcycle tomorrow. So today I shined it up and took this shot of the oil cover.

I am in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and Cape Fear is near here. I went to the Cape Fear Harley Davidson today after the demo and picked up two pins, actually three pins, two for me and one for Dad. The Cape Fear Harley Davidson has two great pins. I added them to the buzznet photoblog. And I also got a shirt for Dad, it is a pretty nice one too. I also noticed that I now get 400 photo uploads a month from Buzznet. Sweet! I had a good dinner next door at The Mash House, a brewpub. They have a ton of great beers that they brew on site. I played Runescape tonight. Kinda done with that game, pretty boring now. Congratulations Marcia! Great Job!

Photo-A-Day #96 07/13/05 Today I got to go to probably the best Harley shop ever. It is called Zooks and it is in Des Moines, Iowa. The place is a giant barn complete with silo.

Photo-A-Day #95 07/12/05 The Mason City Harley Davidson shop has this great mural on the wall. It is Iowa’s biggest Harley shop. I got a great new pin from this shop.

Photo-A-Day #84 07/01/05 My Uncle gave me a fiber optic statue of a motorcycle that sits on a light up base. I need to get me some batteries for that thing. Anyway I was messing around with the macro setting of my camera. Thought it would make a good photo to kick off July.

Photo-A-Day #6 Today I went to the Ice Cream Machine in Cumberland, RI. I took my motorcycle for a ride and ended up there. I also passed 1000km with my bike, kinda sad seeing as I’ve had it for three seasons and have only put that many miles on it. But this season will be much better, I plan to fill the bike up for its third, fourth and probably fifth time this season. (It gets 70+ miles to the gallon and holds 3 gallons in the tank. or some version of that same scenarios but with metric. Either way it goes a long way between fill ups.). I took a picture at 1000 km too.

Photo-A-Day #1 Today was my first ride on the motorcycle of the season. There is still a lot of sand out there but only on the intersections. It was great to get out and ride around. I’ve decided that I would take a photo a day for an entire year. I was inspired by folk Singer Christopher Williams who did a project like this in 2002.
