Kansas HSTA

The Kansas HSTA now has a photo gallery online with images from STAR 07, the Wing’s trip to Colorado and the North Georgia Classic in Helen, GA!

Neat trick - you can click ‘add to cart’ any images you like, then ‘checkout’ and download the images (full resolution too!) as a zip file!

So far, the photos are just ones I’ve taken - I can upload any other folks have taken, or you can request an account and add your own files too!

If you’re thinking about riding the IBA 50CC run from Jacksonville, FL to California, this 50CC gas stop planner is a great tool! I have no idea how they did it, but man, is it nice.

The Louisiana HSTA has their January 2007 newsletter online: LA HSTA January 2007

Again for 2007, the HSTA is providing a drawing to reimburse up to $100.00 of an approved safety course - this in addition to the reimbursement for riding gear! Take a look at this PDF for the Dan Clark Approved Safety Courses and how to enter your name in the drawing. Winners of the reimbursement will be drawn at Star 07 in Asheville, NC.

Note - only current HSTA members are eligible for this benefit…

Stop The Presses! Two Newsletters in less than a year! Since I can’t ride (4″ of frozen gunk out there) I may as well write. Check out your Kansas HSTA Newsletter for January 2007 - 108kb PDF file.

Enjoy!

PS - if anyone has comments, suggestions or something they want printed, let me know - you’ll reach an audience of dozens! Seriously - I mail at least 20 copies out; and I think 10 or 11 people hit this website every day!
Update: Jan 15, 10:00 PM

I checked - 5.37 people hit this site on average per day. About half come from google, looking for Kawasaki Concours info or HID info. Some of the odder search strings include:

• tortillas machinery in guadalahara mexico
• ojinaga, mexico off road motorcycling
• “dave brickner” +st1100
• mcculloch hid suck
• motorcycle track day greenville sc

Very Interesting. Geographcially challenged, but interesting.

The Arkansas Byway Boogie website has some updates, with lots more great information coming soon. Also, I’ve uploaded some photos from the 2006 event Be sure to check back soon for more information!

The Harley Davidson Motor Company recently posted a ‘lifestyle’ video advertisement at www.livingbyit.com (cut -n- paste). I found the ‘lifestyle’ presented very offensive. I posted a reply to the motor company:

Oh man, I’m going to go ’stick it to the man’ and get me a unique bike so I can be an in-duh-vidual just like everyone else!
