Heidenau Scout K60s on my DL650

D Klein

For the past few years I’ve been riding a Suzuki DL650 and have used mostly street tires.  The last tires used were the Bridgestone Battlax Adventure A40 tires and they did fairly well.  Prior to that I had the Michelin Anakee 2 tires and also liked them.  The problem was when I wanted to ride on dirt…

2016 Motorcycle Trip Route

D Klein

Let’s get to the ride!!! This year’s trip will be a little different from others due to the fact that I am focusing on one state…Colorado. I’ll take an extra day on my way north to the Black Hills in South Dakota to not only make it a more comfortable ride, but to explore some…

Is this what the conservatives want?

D Klein

Trump world…this is the hate he and news sources like Fox News preach. America, we can be better than this. Please Republicans, do something at your upcoming convention to oust this racist radical hate preaching person. #nevertrump #dumptrump Texas: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/07/texas-mosque-attack-160703143400200.html Ohio: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/investigation-ohio-police-brutally-arrest-arab-man-being-isis-terrorist-1568662

This is what the right considers a leader?

D Klein

Those on the right sometimes (all of the time) complain that the US has lost it’s credibility in the world. I completely disagree. If you traveled overseas during the GW years it was easier to say you were Canadian because if a person knew you were American they always asked how GW became president. With President…

Ever read the book, “In the Garden of Beasts”? Well, if you haven’t…you should.  I can’t help when listening to what a certain candidate says, think about the parallels of what a certain person coming into power during in Germany after WW1 said. This can be said about almost any horrible person in human history,…

Apple has come through again

D Klein

I’ve been an Apple computer user for years. After a few year break I came back to Apple with the MacBook Pro 17 in 2008 when they started using Intel processors, then AppleTV, then an iPad. Last year I added a 27″ iMac to the family and have never been happier.  I also run Windows10,…

2015 – Wrap up

D Klein

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!   2015 was a very good year for me and my 2 dogs. I celebrated the beginning of 2015 in Europe while traveling with a former Phoenix friend who was stationed in Germany.  We were in Berlin for Christmas, Amsterdam for a few days, Frankfurt area for a few…

In the Garden of Beasts

D Klein

I’ve been reading “In the Garden of Beasts” and there are so many similarities between one of the candidates running for presidential office and the portrayal of Hitler’s rise to power. Please do not fall for the shouting and ignorance of the one who stirs your hatred. Please think of a better America, one that you…

Portland 2015

D Klein

Spent a weekend in the Portland, OR area for a Hash House Harrier event in early September and had such a great time exploring with my friends who live across the river in Vancouver, WA.  I stayed with them in Vancouver and found that I liked their area more than I liked Portland proper.  Portland…

Could I like John Oliver any more? Nope.

D Klein

Thank you John Oliver for shining a HUGE LIGHT on these HORRIBLE people. Yes, a sucker is born every minute, but there has to be a way to keep these “religious” shysters from stealing so much money for their own greedy purposes. Perhaps this can be fixed, then we can move on to corporations.

Mattress Fun

D Klein

I had been thinking of getting a new mattress for about a year and began investigating the new-comers and highly rated mattress options currently available. I have had a Tempurpedic for over 10 years and liked it, but wanted to replace it. In the past six months I had narrowed my search down to the “Tuft & Needle”…
