Cleaning the Fridge - Rant


Somebody cleaned out our office fridge recently, probably prompted by the... unusual odor.

But they didn't have to throw away *all* the old stuff, right? There was a raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing that I've been enjoying for the last couple of years.

It was in the office fridge for longer than I've been here. So what? It expired in 2005. So what? It was still good.

It was a good standby for me. When my food needed flavor and my regular BBQ sauce ran out, I'd go to the vinaigrette. Not as bad as you might think on baked ham and mashed potatoes.

Photo Friday!!

Tired of strapping backpacks and laptop cases to your bike for your commute? Ken Allhands was!

...So he turned his SV650 into a pretty good looking tourer, which will handle his 100 mile round trip commute with ease.

Here's his SV featured for Photo Friday:

Givi E21's on the sides and a Givi E33 on the back (with the backrest, of course)
SW-Motech Alu-Rack, SW-Motech Quick-Lock Sideracks, Givi adapter kits
Check out the Twisted sticker reflecting in the flash!


Yup...room for a full faced helmet


Thanks for the great pictures, Ken!

Happy Easter! Have a great weekend

Photo Friday - An outfitted silver '08 KLR!

This week we've got Johnny Robert's outfitted KLR silver 2008 KLR. He's got SW-MOTECH crashbars and a skidplate, and I think he owes me a Guinness, too. Johnny?

Photo Friday - Givi V35's on a ZX14


It's the end of the week and we have had some great, warm weather - at least, it's not freezing anymore. Sunday at 2AM is daylight savings time, too! With the weather finally becoming something that's not quite a frozen purgatory, I dug back into the photos from the end of last summer and found a sportbike with some very nice narrow profile luggage on it.

This ZX14 has narrow profile Givi V35 PLX sidecases mounted with the SW-MOTECH QUICK-LOCK Contour Carrier.






Those pictures are in Arizona, too. I bet he's been riding all winter long...

Photo ... Thursday?

Looks like somebody forgot about his new segment. *crickets chirping*

So I'm going to be posting two sets of photos this week - today and tomorrow - to make up for my lapse in posting.

Today, we feature Jeremy Davis's "sport touring" FZ6.

He writes:

"I started the conversion of my FZ6 to a sport touring bike this past September. Well it is now March and I'm close to being finished thanks to Twisted Throttle. Thanks guys for having the items in stock, shipping the items in a timely manner, and having very competitive pricing. With out you guys, my project couldn't have happened!"


Jeremy's FZ6 is outfitted with a complete Givi system including:



Nicely done, Jeremy! You're now in the running for this month's gift certificate and your bike looks pretty awesome, too!
