I usually try to stick with topics that have to do with Colorado motorcycling, but I do stray at times. In this case I want to point you to a new blog, Bikes and Buddies<\/a>, that I was introduced to recently.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

How to set your motorcycle on fire<\/strong><\/p><\/div>Kevin Moore is the guy running this blog and from what he has put up so far, I’d say he’s quite a good writer and has some pretty interesting things to write about.<\/p>\n

Take this “Motorcycle Conflagration” piece that the screen-shot I’ve included is taken from. No surprise there that he’s telling about a time when he made a few dumb mistakes and ended up with his motorcycle on fire next to the pumps in a gas station. Yow! It would be an interesting story in any case, but Kevin tells it well.<\/p>\n

Another piece tells of some dirt-biking in an old strip mine and some youthful bravado involving a seemingly impossible stunt. And then there’s a piece about an odd character he encountered once when out of a ride.<\/p>\n

That’s actually it for the moment. As I said, this is a new blog and Kevin is just getting started. But I’ve subscribed so I’ll know each time he posts something new. I’ve also been in touch with Kevin and he tells me he has written a book, which is about motorcycles and becoming a dad, titled “Motorcycles and a Baby: Stories of a Geardhead\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Roadtrip to Fatherhood.” He has found a publisher but the publisher wants him to demonstrate that he has an audience for the book. Get 2,000 people to subscribe to your blog and we’ll print your book, they told him.<\/p>\n

Of course I told Kevin that I’d be happy to review his book here and on Examiner.com<\/a> once it gets published. So I’m urging you to check out his blog, and if you like what you see, subscribe. If the book is as good as the blog is so far, we’re going to be in for a treat.<\/p>\n
