About a minute after I posted the 1,400-mile review of the Triumph Thunderbird LT, it donned on me that I didn’t mention it is belt driven. Big difference. Anyone besides me remember the old song “We’ll see the world on my Harley, if the chain don’t break”? Oh wow. I knew the original was by […]

Triumph Of The Will — 1,422 Miles — Cheeks Branded, Intact
May 25th, 2014 · Tags: Cities · Sports · Wi-Fi
Before and after I bought the 2014 Triumph Thunderbird LT read many motorcycle reviews. One reviewer thought the bird blew away the home team favorite Harley. That writer was British. Another reviewer preferred the Victory over the Triumph and The Harley all in the similar touring class — leather baggers. Pretty sure there were […]

I found another coffee shop in Columbia by chance, just because it is near my grocery store. Ha … when on the road for one of these long projects, the grocery store is an important place. In the small cities, when I am tired from The Dirty Gig, or maybe a long ride, […]

May 10th, 2014 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
I do like a college town, but the time had come to take a break from preppies and hipsters, so I ambled over to foreign-studentville. Bubblecup boba tea caught my eye about a week ago, and despite it being next door to a local ice cream legend, I did it anyway. BubbleCup? Or […]
No Wi-Fi? That’s The Würst … Der Ping Blitzes More Columbia Hotpsots
May 6th, 2014 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
No, PingWi-Fi. You can’t judge a coffee bar by its dreadlocked buskers. I totally expected to be overcome by the telltale, pungent odor of patchouli … eau de hippie … when I checked out Columbia’s homegrown Lakota Coffee Company. Not so. There is an earthy vibe … yes … real timber chairs, an American […]
Mizzou Coffee & Wi-Fi … It’s Not All About Starbucks

Today, let’s get old school here in the college town of Columbia, Mo. None of that blogging about nothing. No rock or film reviews. No interviews of FOX or CBS correspondents (dig into ping, they’re there). Today, we ping Wi-Fi hotspots — as we did when this blog began — here in the […]
