the last day of 2005. it’s been a good year with lots of interesting changes.
I took this picture while out on my last ride of the year. Shawn, Lesa, Brian, Jamie and I braved the cold for an afternoon ride.

This was cool. Good use of music and I like the editing, angles and even the lighting. I felt like I was watching a short film for a few seconds there. Well I guess that is kinda what these vlogs are in a way. Thanks for sharing.

Hooked on travel stories…
A few days ago I was lucky enough to be told about the great travel website Horizons Unlimited. It’s not pretty but it has links to great information about anything that one might need to know for travel…*anywhere* in the world.
It’s a site for round the world (rtw) bikers. Folks who drop everything, sell the house and the kids (well, maybe one of the kids) and ride their motorcycle around the world.
My favorite section on the site is the Traveller’s Tales area. This is a plethora of links to all kinds of people, from all walks of life, who have just ditched it all and gone ‘ride-a-bout’.
The latest series I’ve been reading is from Jeremiah, a Colorado fella who is on his way from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, Argentina –then back again! In addition to being a great writer, his stories are short and are full of adventure. My latest favorite is Good Cop - Bad Cop
As you trip through some of those links on his and other sites, drop those travellers a line if the link exists. I can only imagine how cool/important/heart-warming/etc it would be to get a piece of email from a reader while out in the cuds.

Christmas left-outs
So, I’ve been doing a little post-Christmas shopping over at Cruiser Customizing. They seems to have a really knowledgeable staff (using email & livechat) and pretty mediocre prices.
CC has a great way to look for products by narrowing down the items by the type of bike you ride. That makes it easier to put together a wish list. 
So, my wish list looks like this…
All told, it’s a little over $1400 for everything. ouch
If you fine folks have any insight as to where I might find some of this stuff cheaper/used (I’m constantly checking ebay), let me know.
