Geezer with a Grudge: Ready to Haul Bikes

Ready to Haul Bikes

Thanks to my friends at TC_Dualsport, it looks like I'm ready to do the Sturgis Rally thing; haul the bike 500 miles so that I can cruise around a small, overcrowded town and look . . . cool? Since I took this shot, I've added some stuff: tie-downs for the screen tent, bicycle mounts on each side of the motorcycle, new wiring for the lights, and it's all ready to haul WR ass.

First test, this week at Itaska.

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.
