Adventures of the Antirider Rider

Jason brings parfait treats for the table. I get stuck with the last coupon which is for a chicken burrito that no one has ever tried. Since I’m always up for new things, I get to enjoy a tasty medley of peppers, chicken, and egg in my breakfast.  I show off my free sample.  Good [...]

As the weather chills, the two wheeled crew migrates to different interests.  Some of us ride off road.  Some of us clean and organize our messy garages.  Some of us finally get around to projects we put off all summer.  Regardless, we are have a bond that can not broken by the cold.  On a [...]

Dear Faithful Blog Reader, It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt at the ADVrider Fuzzy Beaver Rally. The morning started with a cold but pleasant ride up to the overlook.  As I’m coming down the mountain, something doesn’t feel right.  The only thing that changed is David put some air in my tires.  [...]

Today’s episode includes: Wes, Lesley, Craig, Mark and his guns, me, and Jason What better way to start a lazy Sunday than eating at the Bell.  Wes just shook his head and asked how we could eat that after a big Saturday night as he sipped on his soda.  I also learned that Mountain Dew [...]

You must be loved when all of your friends spend their Saturday hanging out at your store because you’re having a sale.  We love our Milk and Cookies! Jason, me, Perry, Jesse, Patrick, Fran, Jason, and Claudia   The day started off a bit wet but it turned into a beautiful day. I even wore [...]

As the weather gets brisk, the bikers still roll in.  What a wonderful place to live where you have 80 degree days in October!  First there was one lonely SV at Ed’s Tavern. Then the rest of the rainbow arrived.  Not pictured were David’s CB and Andrew’s V Strom.   Mark and chef Scott Jeff [...]

In a week full of rain, the weather was on our side for Euro Bike Night with a high of 78 degrees in the middle of October.  Imagine my surprise to pull up right next to my bike’s twin! Red bike parking only. This is my next project.  If you have an ink jet printer, [...]

Dinner captain Rich said that this was a record breaking month with over 30 showing up for some tasty Italian eats at Mama Ricotta’s.  Carolinas BMW Motorcycle Owners Association says it’s all about the ride but tonight it was all about the food! I told Don to smile with Kyle.  I was a poet and [...]

Congrats to our very own Kevin, owner of Wicked Thunder in Lenoir, NC for placing first in the Novice Group at the Coyote Creek Trials Center!

After spending the summer away at camp Chad, the SVS came finally came home.  After a new pair of bug eyes, it was ready to roll. The maiden voyage was to none other than Quaker Steak.  The threat (because there was no actual rain) of rain is enough to scare most of Charlotte’s fair weather [...]

It was a beautiful day for riding.  Mark and David rolled in at the same time as Jeff.   We all moseyed down to Mac’s and had to run one uncooperative red light. The cool Triumphs were definitely making a showing. Long time no see with these cats, Jason and Todd (who never even took [...]

Since we couldn’t be at the Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix for all the fun, we stopped by a local spot for some company to watch the race.  What kind of jerk parks their car in the covered parking usually reserved for bikes?!  Hmm… Obviously, the bikes weren’t hurting on parking though. We ran into [...]

Life is good when the weather is great.  Life is better when you can enjoy the warm weather in a wide open Jeep.  Life is best when you spot the ice cream truck giving out free ice cream on such a beautiful day! It’s funny how right after Lenny and I had a conversation about [...]
