Little Snippets....

There's always issues  ...

Good intentions, but.....

Production problems.....

(Now, for our investors, (that's YOU, the viewer) there is a promise of fantastic future returns; however, patience is required to reap the full value of investment (ie viewing) ).

There has been blog worthy happenings in 2014 already, but it seems that MURPHY is calling the shots so far...  "memory card full", forgot the camera, took the camera but forgot to use it, used it but forgot to take the cap off, etc. Bad producer(s), bad director, bad key grip, bad best boy, even bad actors..... that sort of stuff.

......BMW blog                                              ( hasn't happened yet (ie production delay))
......TEST OUR METAL blog                        too much distraction
......Circle Route blog                                     1st of 2014, forgot the camera
......SuperMoto blog                                       surely I jest !

So, attached, are some snippets, bits and pieces, if you will, teasers, before the MAIN EVENTS
(you read that correctly:    Main Events PLURAL )

SNIPPET 1&2 





                                         40 year old bike, 64 year old driver, and  42 years since......









                                          Can't believe it:   IMPRESSED .   VERY IMPRESSED
                                          (and I'll bet he impressed himself.   Oh no............)                                                        . ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE     2014    BLOG-O-SPHERE    has arrived ..

With luck, there'll  be BlogWorthy events unfolding in 2014.  Stuff worth sharing.   Stuff worth viewing. Water cooler talk.....
Of course, the best laid plans......................


But first, a couple of points    ......

Hale (BIL) has been officially cut loose as co-author. His status as an non-contributor has finally been recognized. And with predictable results :  turfed !
While the partnership was originally viewed as the Dynamic Duo, with both players contributing alternate viewpoints, like Mars/Venus, and playing off each others strengths while producing an entertaining audio/visual blog complete with live action video; the burden of meeting production deadlines accompanied by entertaining commentary/video was simply too much for one little man, despite big broad shoulders. So, to share the  stage and spilt the accolades and awards was an affront to one's artistic talents and solo efforts. .......Hence, Hale is toast ! ( Plus he sold his Harley )

This Blog is now flying solo..

Secondly, apparently the Blog's ratings have been under some pressure lately. ( that's corporate speak for: the ratings suck  -  so cancellation is  imminent ) Therefore a suggestion of a restructuring has to be taken seriously. Considering that the Blog is presented advertisement free, and with no viewing restrictions, Blog support is thus solely dependent on viewers like you...............our 'partners'.......
Thus, an new format is called for. Something perhaps a bit more edgy. A little friction. Controversy or even confrontation. Something along the lines of a ... REALITY SHOW.

A PRELUDE TO THE 2014 BLOG


For our existing viewers, familiarity with the Chair, which provides "comfort" at the end of the driveway, will be old hat. Bur for new viewers, the Chair is..... a prop. A "comfortable" experience. It is a 'signature' type of thing. It suggests that riveting and edge-of-seat viewing is about to unfold ...
The Chair has also provided a certain notoriety to the owner/director/producer/star of our Blog. (Our ??)
It's been a conversation piece, and a controversial piece. Passersby have waved, they've stopped to talk, to make inquiries. But they've also honked the horn, they've stared blankly, and some have ducked for cover and run for the hills......................

So, you can imagine my consternation, my disbelief, my rage at witnessing the theft of the concept .
A neighbor with ..........a CHAIR at the end of his driveway.
A copy cat.
A wannabe.
Competition.
...no, it's much more that that.........
An insult.
A patent/copyright in infringement.

It's a declaration of war.             Chair Wars
..... wait 'til spring....
