Follow On MG Ride

Random photo of Charlene on the Bullet in front of Bartram's Covered Bridge On Tuesday afternoon, after I got back home from my ride on the Bullet, my wife and I went out for a ride on the MG.  I am trying to burn as much gas as I can because I got an appointment for next Tuesday at Gene's to install the new tank. We wanted to go out to the Starbucks in Edgemont, on the West Chester Pike,...

Little Red Barn

Little Red Barn Yesterday afternoon I went for a short ride at around 17:00 which proved to be the worst time to go riding.  I didn't have a long ride in mind because I needed to be home by 18:00 so I headed up Goshen towards Providence Rd.  The ride on Goshen before getting to 252 was not bad but after crossing 252 there must have been a line of five or six cars following Goshen in front...

Route 926

Shoo Mama's Yesterday the day was blue and crisp and it looked like a real good time to take a long ride.  Over exposure to the cold temps of last winter have, however, damaged my sense of what good temps are.  At 11:00, when I left the house, the temp was at 53 degrees but the blue and clear really messed with my perception.  Generally, I consider 55 degrees the low edge of comfortable...

GE 4415A Amber Fog Light

GE 4415A Saturday we were in DC most of the day but we got back early enough that I had enough time to fool around with the car. The fog light on the MG has been out since shortly after I got it and I've been meaning to replace it.  My idea was to climb under the car and take it off because you can't just undo the screw holding the rim of the light together because the badge bar and apron...

MG Replacement Hubcaps - Part II

"New" hubcaps on Montse Last Friday I got the hubcaps I bought from one of the guys at the TDr Forum.  They are in great shape, there is some surface rust on the backside but the fronts look great.  The surface rust on the back is nothing that a little Naval Jelly won't get rid off and with just a little work they will be perfect. However, I still like the originals that came with the...

Carlisle Import & Kit Car Show

Number 16 for Carlisle I was out all weekend on a work trip so there was no riding to be had.  There was some rain on Monday so no commute then either.  However, this morning cleared up quickly after some early rain that started about 07:00 but was done by 08:00.  I stopped at Boyle's for gas on the way home for lunch but I did not take the Bullet back because I had an appointment...

3K Miles on the Bullet

At the Octagonal School House behind Birmingham-Lafayette Cemetery This morning the roads were wet from evening rain but by 13:00 the clouds had broken up and the roads were fairly dry.  I had a day off from work today because I am leaving for a conference tonight and I took a little break in my preparations to take a ride on the Bullet. My original flight plan was to do the Dragon but as...

MG Replacement Hubcaps - Part I

This week I got the replacement hubcaps I ordered from MG Magic to replace the originals because of the one I lost.  They are ABS so I wasn't too thrilled with them but I could not find original replacement made of metal.  I ordered the hubcaps and the spacers I needed to mount them.  I got two sets of spacers just in case one got lost. They went on easily enough, as could...

Afternoon Ride

2960.4 at the end of the ride. Monday was a fabulous day, clear, blue skies, and temps in the mid 70s.  A perfect day to take a ride after commuting to work. I took the road up Goshen to Grubbs Mill Rd. and made that right in front of the Llama Farm.  Followed Grubbs Mill to White Horse and the fork of Davis Rd. where I took that to Providence Rd.  At Providence I made a right...

First Group Ride - Delaware County Motorcycle Riders

Some of the bikes at the Wawa before the ride Today I joined the Delaware County Motorcycle Riders for a group ride out to Kennett Square.  I found then through Meet Up on the internet and I though it might be a fun thing to try out.  Today's ride plan was to take West Chester Pike from the WaWa at 352 to Westtown Way to Westtown Road to Cheyney Road to Route 1 to Fairville to Hillendale...
