Two Things: Venom / Dogma

We’re deep into the Christmas shopping season and some of you have been asking for gift hints. This post is for you. And by “you,” I mean, of course, Warren Buffet or The Sultan of Brunei. Hennessey Venom GT Forget 0-60. That’s soooo 1960s. Forget 0-100. That’s for wannabes. The new gold standard for vehicular… Continue reading Two Things: Venom / Dogma

Two Things

This is the first in what I hope will be a periodic – if not regular – series in which I share, well, two things. Each pair may or may not have some relationship to each other; it’s possible that the only thing they have in common is that they happened to catch my eye… Continue reading Two Things

Bike Racked

I’m back in town after about ten days of vacation. A day or so before we headed out, I took delivery of a new bike rack which I hoped would solve the dilemma of how to transport our recumbent tandem.

I have… Continue reading Life with the new Elliptigo

Cruising the Gulfstream

Hi, Greg. Our 13-year old Duplex is starting to show its age and we’re considering a new Gulfstream. We’d like to have a bike that’s more convenient to travel with, and the option of having 8 S&S couplings with the travel cases is intriguing. What is the upcharge for that option? Also, what is the… Continue reading Cruising the Gulfstream
