Eurastus travels slowly: Took the Long Way To Work
http://eurastus.blogspot.com/2009/03/took-long-way-to-work.html
Friday, March 13, 2009. Took the Long Way To Work. I took the long way to work this morning, with a little swing out on the farmland flats to the west of town. Today it was a balmy 27° and felt fine. It sure was nice to enjoy the early morning farm roads. Early mornings are awesome, for sure. I spent a bit of time on the single cylinder 650. It felt sort of like a tractor engine under me. How is the twin for smooth? Anything you especially love? Tuesday, March 17, 2009 at 9:45:00 PM MDT.

Eurastus travels slowly: Airguns
http://eurastus.blogspot.com/2009/03/airguns.html
Thursday, March 12, 2009. Airgun shooting is a subject near and dear to my heart. I shoot airguns many evenings in my basement (6 meter range) or out in the garage (full 10 meters), sometimes with my boys. In fact, I just got done with shooting 120 shots from my air pistol (FWB 103) on the 10 meter range. What if you want to get into air rifle target shooting with a budget? If you want information from the experts themselves, get yourself to the TargetTalk forum at http:/ targettalk.org/. Having said all...

Eurastus travels slowly: da Vinci Tandems
http://eurastus.blogspot.com/2007/08/da-vinci-tandems.html
Friday, August 17, 2007. I've been a serious cyclist for about 30 years now, with most of my miles on the road but significant mountain bike time several years ago. Up until a few years ago, I'd only ridden a tandem bicycle a few times; being a paid bike wrench for over 10 years as a youth gave me several opportunities. Only one ride was for more than 20 miles.and that was more than 25 years ago. And the gear range is absolutely HUGE! However, I prefer the 700c wheels we have on the latest tandem. Th...

Eurastus travels slowly: December 2008

Friday, December 05, 2008. New BMW at the 'rastus house. My last post, lo this many months ago, announced the TW200's arrival. Well, I finally went and got rid of the BMW F650GS Dakar like I said I would.only I traded it in on a new BMW F800GS. I just couldn't go without a nice BMW in the house. Links to this post.

Eurastus travels slowly: April 2008
http://eurastus.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 09, 2008. I've been traveling too fast lately. As it turns out, the BMW is too big and too fast for what I really wanted to use it for. It's great on the road, but I want something for slow, off-road exploring. I've found this Yamaha TW200. Now I'm ready to go exploring all the places the BMW is unable to comfortably get to.

Eurastus travels slowly: October 2007
http://eurastus.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 07, 2007. Wellthere's another two-wheeled vehicle at the 'rastus house. I've wanted a BMW F650GS Dakar. However, on the new BMW, it was a pleasure indeed. I enjoyed the cool, crisp morning and the lack of fellow travelers on the way up. I had no trouble handling the bike even at slow speeds and on sketchy surfaces. I'm very happy; the Dakar is exactly what I'd hoped it'd be. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Utah County, Utah, United States. View my complete profile.

Eurastus travels slowly: June 2007
http://eurastus.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 25, 2007. 22 vs 9000; Horsepower, that is. Most mornings, when I take the direct path to work, I pass the local Union Pacific. Switching yards. This small yard serves several short-line railroads, most notably long Utah Railway. Coal trains, along with the big yellow UP itself. I'm a long-time railfan, being enamored of big traction engines since childhood, when my dad bought me a small AT&SF. This morning, three matching UP EMD SD40-2. Links to this post. Friday, June 15, 2007. This particu...

Eurastus travels slowly: July 2007

Tuesday, July 24, 2007. Where Not to Ride. I was out for a spin on the GTV the other morning and came upon this large sign. I've seen several with a similar message over the years and thought some of you city-folk would get a kick out of the "rugged individualism" one runs into out here in the Wild West. Note the lowest line on the sign. It makes me wonder if the property owner intends to shoot as I scoot. Links to this post. Monday, July 23, 2007. Noggin Cover and Podcasts. This is actually pretty nice ...

Eurastus travels slowly: May 2007
http://eurastus.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 31, 2007. As my first full day commuting with the scooter, I was up and on the road just as the sun peeked over the mountains. Nice and quiet. Gotta' love it. The only people I saw for the first several miles away from home were the dutiful morning joggers; several of the young mothers in the neighborhood seem rather determined to run every day, rain or shine. Thankfully for them, and for me, today was nothing but shine. In fact, I didn't see a car until I hit Main Street. Links to this post.
