Geezer with a Grudge: Joy Ride

Joy Ride

Can't embed this one, but it's worth watching: http://vimeo.com/36305675.

The video quality and the storyline is pretty amazing considering the equipment used. There was a pretty impressive cast and crew listed at the end, though. I have to wonder how "amateur" this production was? Having tried video production myself, I know how much skill, experience, and talent can compensate for equipment and I know how little of those three I possess.

The Geezer Story

I stumbled upon this column name (Geezer with a Grudge) almost 20 years ago, in 1999. The first Minnesota Motorcycle Monthly editor I worked with, in late 1999, complained that the magazine was getting no mail and the editors wanted to know if any readers were still out there. I fired off a sarcastic note, as a joke, intended to provide a little humor and some feedback. He published it as an article and later called me to say he'd received more mail on that letter than he'd received in the past year! I followed that with an offer to write a monthly column attempting to piss off a particular section of the magazine's readership to see if that tactic would generate some mail.

It did, probably more regularly than the magazine wanted at times, and I wrote a monthly column for MMM until the magazine died in 2018.

I plan to post an occasional old Geezer article into the blog, followed by short comments about the current status of my perspective on our activity/sport/vehicle of choice.
