Jammin Round the World: October 2006
http://jamminwithjay.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 21, 2006. Went to Nishant (Purdue friend)'s house in Michigan City over the weekend to celebrate the Indian Festival of Diwali and here's a few pictures from our evening drive into the surrounding woods. Pictures should have been taken earlier in the day, but it was overcast anyways. Thursday, October 12, 2006. Flows well with the bike lines. 5 sets of used race tires for mine and Andy's track day needs. He gets the 2 190s and I get the 3 180s. Got them for free from a fellow CL...One l...

Jammin Round the World: December 2006
http://jamminwithjay.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 30, 2006. Previous Stop: Outbound Travel. A typical street in Brussels: buildings close to each other, one way traffic jammed with cars and nice stores. Graffiti in the subway. I found it strange that their subway system is based on an honor system. You don't have to go through a little gate to get to the platform, you're just expected to have paid for a ticket. If you're free-riding and get caught, it's a 50 Euro fine. Kids in front of a chocolate fondue fountain. mmm. An odd-looking ...

Jammin Round the World: April 2006
http://jamminwithjay.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 29, 2006. Meat (15lbs) and Greet (100 Riders) in Western PA. Sport-Touring.Net is an online motorcycle forum that my friends and I are a part of. They've divided the US into 6 regions to make regional meets possible. We in the Midwest are part of Region 4. We keep tabs on events that are happening in neighboring regions, just in case we feel in the mood for meeting some members from other regions. The plan was to leave early Saturday morning and meet Brendan and Todd (rider from Cleveland...

Jammin Round the World: January 2007
http://jamminwithjay.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 10, 2007. Europe - Travel Inbound. To go to the start of the trip. Previous Stop: Venice and Milan. To get over jet lag on the way back, I had to stay awake the whole flight and the whole next day so that at night back at home, I would fall asleep easily when it was actually waking up time in Europe. Luckily Alitalia had a great in-flight entertainment system with Audio/Video on Demand (meaning I could start/stop/pause whenever I wanted). Back to Trip Index. Monday, January 08, 2007.

Jammin thru Alaska: Ride Report: Day 8
http://jamminak.blogspot.com/2008/09/ride-report-day-8.html
Ride Report: Day 8. Day 8 / Thursday, June 19, 2008. I was woken up by a herd of crows that were trying to get my oatmeal packets open. This was the view from my tent at about 5 am local time. John Jacques Caux, one of the great frontiersmen of the day that opened up interior BC. One thing I didn't expect was the numerous long, long straight sections of highway, where a throttle lock would've been handy to relieve my right wrist. I was waiting to cross the Rockies further up ahead for some good ridin...

Jammin thru Alaska: Ride Report: Day 4
http://jamminak.blogspot.com/2008/09/ride-report-day-4.html
Ride Report: Day 4. Day 4 / Sunday, June 15, 2008. In the morning, I met a group of riders on BMW R1200GS's who had stayed the night and were reuniting after they had all gone on one of Helge Pedersen's GlodeRiders tours from Turkey into China the year before. They told me I should set up a touring company in India, because people like them would love to come and tour through there. That's an idea. An outdoor stage where bands perform during the rallies and the huge campfire ring besides it. Being a Sund...

Jammin thru Alaska: Ride Report: Day 14 - 16
http://jamminak.blogspot.com/2008/09/ride-report-day-14-16.html
Ride Report: Day 14 - 16. Day 14 / Wednesday, June 25, 2008. I said good-bye to Steve as he was headed for his service appointment and thanked him for all his help. His travelogue is located at taxidialogue.com. And voila, I made it back to civilization. The bike was sputtering and not sounding very good towards the end of the night. I figured water in the fuel system was the main culprit. We went straight for the car wash after buying some Calcium, Lime and Rust remover from a nearby store. Getting her ...

Jammin thru Alaska: Ride Report: Day 5 - 6
http://jamminak.blogspot.com/2008/09/ride-report-day-5-6.html
Ride Report: Day 5 - 6. Day 5 / Monday, June 16, 2008. One fuel container was beyond repair and Claude said I could add it to his collection of damaged fuel containers. It made me feel better when he said he had the same kind of containers for his off road trips and they didn't last very long either. Day 6 / Tuesday, June 17, 2008. I collected my passport with my new US visa in there and was now ready to start my journey north. The only other scheduled item on my trip was trying to make it to the Dus...

Jammin thru Alaska: Final Preparations
http://jamminak.blogspot.com/2008/06/final-preparations.html
Taking an adjustable walking cane and making it an adjustable bike stand. I would need this to lift up the rear tire so that I could repair it any punctures and it would also work for the front. Being aluminum, it's very light weight and it cost only around $10 and about two hours of my labor. Cutting some steel at Rick's garage for my bike stand. The nozzle from the oiler is setup to release a drop of oil every minute that the engine is running and centrifugal force helps spread the oil around the chain...
