Smartphone as Camera

Smartphone as Camera

It's easy and making them look good doesn't take much, By Richard Klain #22237

Editor-Friday, May 17, 2013
These days it’s relatively easy to point a camera phone at something memorable or interesting, push the button and then upload the results to a social media website. People of all ages are doing it, to the point where more photos are being taken with smart phones than with any other kind of camera.

How Red Changes Everything, By Ken Bowen #104748

Editor-Monday, May 13, 2013
With the cases painted, and a small BMW roundel added next to the reflector just for accent, one more stripe was needed to complete the front of the bike.

Maybe you’d like a fresh slice of wry? By Ian Schmeisser

Editor-Saturday, May 11, 2013
Right up front, I fear this article will make me sound like the crusty old codger I am. But this subject has been weighing on me for a few years now, a concern that adventure riding, as it’s increased in popularity, is moving a little too far from its roots and getting awfully close to becoming a pose-fest.

To Trailer or Not to Trailer?

To Trailer or Not to Trailer?

Question for the ages, By Bill Hooykaas #12537

Editor-Friday, May 10, 2013
Over the years we have seen a slow but steady increase in the number of trailers being drawn by motorcycles. A number of considerations must be weighed before deciding to pull a trailer behind a bike.

New Technology! Airhead GPS

New Technology! Airhead GPS

By Garry A. Nelson #62034

Editor-Wednesday, May 08, 2013
I break the trip into reasonable sections as I transfer my planned routes and cities, with a black marker, onto 6 x 8 note cards, which can readily be seen in my map holder, the plastic case on my gas tank.

Times with Ted: Checking In with a Legend

All in the Family, By Sandy Borden

Editor-Sunday, May 05, 2013
To walk alongside a hero is a dream; to walk alongside an icon is extraordinary. Several years back, when I first introduced myself to Ted Simon, I found myself stumbling over my own tongue, eager to not sound so obtuse.
