Decided to create another new site. This one is loosely based off of the hit show Sons of Anarchy. reapercrew.com
it is a work in progress, but it was fun to put together and gave me many ideas of other sites. I hope people enjoy it, love it or hate it post something on the site.

Rainforest Run (Forks Wa.)

Just got back from the Rainforest Run. What a ride. I also wanted to thank Bob and his crew at Cycle Camp for allowing the “New Canadians” or “Canoregons” to stay. If you are ever in the area and on a bike, you have to stop in at Cycle Camp. The atmosphere is friendly, we truly felt at home. You also have to check out the Hoh Rain Forest and hit some of the trails. We took the Hall of Moss trail and it was amazing to see all the colors and shapes hanging from the trees. A trip up there would not be complete without a stop in to Forks, home of the Twilight books, so I am told by my 15 year old daughter who planned the trip. You will see signs everywhere for Twilight in the town as well as vampire boundaries and treaty lines.

Here are some pics for your pleasure.

iPod remote that just works

While riding my motorcycles I love to listen to music. I had been looking for a remote that was useable with a glove and could be mounted to the handlebars. Enter scosche and their awesome products. I purchased this remote at a local automotive stereo store. Within 5 minutes I had it out of the plastic and hooked up to my iPod touch. With the remote mounted to the bars on my 2009 Ninja 650R I was away and rocking. I was easily able to change songs, volume, and pause the music. Now when I am riding with my friends and need to chat with them at a stop light, it is a matter of pausing the music until we are riding again.

The mount for the remote comes with a velcro strap that worked nicely, but I wanted something more secure so I used zip ties to mount it to the bars of my main trip bike. The remote comes out of the carrier and I can slide it into the id badge holder on my Fieldsheer no base vest and still use the controls.

Scossche iPod Remote

I now see that scosche.com has a wrist mounted remote that looks perfect for motorcyclists.

If you want a remote that works, and works upto 100 feet away, look no further. It should also be noted that the battery in the remote is replaceable and takes watch style batteries.
