Motorcycles, Chess, and Life

I originally created this blog to write about my motorcycle. Hence the name. In the months that have passed, I realized I don't have enough (read: nothing, really) to say about it to make a blog worth keeping, so I decided to keep the name, but make it a more general purpose blog.

For those who are interested in the actual bike, it's a 1982 Yamaha Virago xv920j. One of the earliest Japanese cruisers, and it still runs like a dream. It sports a "cycom" which looks something akin to a Timex-Sinclair 1000 mounted above the bars which contains the speedometer and many gauges including a fuel gauge! It's very futuristic looking, for 1982. I'll post pictures of it here soon.

My other interests include such novelties as chess, reading books, playing video games, watching movies, and so on.
