Motodogging

Ever been chased by a dog ? Want to get even ?

Dogs love chasing motorcycles and sinking their teeth into bikers boots, despite our smelly socks and steel toecaps. Its fun for them but a pain for us, and its time we evened the score.

Motodogging is the art of making them chase you until they're completely exhausted, helping the brainless creatures learn to leave us alone.


The Rules

1. One point per dog per 100 metres.
2. The dog cannot be attached to the motorcycle.
3. The dog must belong to someone else.
4. Tying meat, bones or cats to the motorcycle is NOT cheating.
5. The dog is supposed to chase you, not the other way around.
6. Bonus points for a good story, falling off or kicking dogs that bite.

JACmail: MM Goes Traveling

Y'all pitch in here:

Hey JAC,
This is Michael Maier from your, Nate's, DJ's and Vox's blogs. I am just wondering if you have any advice for long trips. What to bring and such. I'm thinking all proper riding gear of course, hydration, cell phone and oil for topping off at fill-ups. I have just never gone on a long trip and I'm heading to Boston from Indianapolis over two days. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Maybe you could make a blog entry at your place maybe we can get more input?

Thanks from the Rookie Rider,
Mike

MM,
The bike probably won't require any oil for that trip (it's your bike though - you know it better than I) and it's cheap enough on the road that you can buy it if you need it along the way anyhow for chain lube at every other fill-up or so. Most bikes want a chain lube every 300 miles.
I am a minimalist when it comes to packing for road trips:

firearm
tire gauge
credit/debit card
cash
phone #'s of folks you know along the way
socks and drawers (Don't wear underwear with seams under your ass or legs when you sit on the bike.)
Motrin (take one before you get on the bike and continue the dose schedule . It works best already in your system to stave off discomfort.) If it makes you drowsy - take Tylenol or aspirin.

Take enough time and get off the bike anytime you want. It's not an endurance race and there's is no sense in makin' an enjoyable form of transportation into a chore.
I'll put this up so others can offer suggestions.

Good luck!

BOOM! (continued)

Yes, That's the SwampThing on the porch. No apologies will be made for this.

EP, if you zoom in on the bumper of the Suburban you can see the anvil mounted on the swingarm.

BOOM!

Big Storm the other night. Lasted about 15 minutes. The first good lightning strike took out power. We all went outside as soon as the weather cleared to a bright blue sky on the evening horizon and a double rainbow that I did get pictures of. I'll get 'em up sometime tonight.
