Ran across this site this morning - Biker Worlds. Pretty neat place. It is pretty much a MySpace just for bikers. Even though I have heard a lot about it, I just set up a MySpace Profile yesterday and I just set up a BikerWorlds Profile this morning. Stop by and check them out.

Still a fair bit of “riding season” left. I ride year round so the season never ends for me. If you do tend to “store” your bike for the winter you may want to check out one of these Waterproof VIP Motorcycle Cover from Empire Covers.
This cover is more like a soft sided garage designed to completely protect your motorcycle from dust, dirt, and moisture. The folks from Empire Covers are sending me a cover to do a review on for the VABiker.NET and I should have it later on this week.
Here is a little about the covers from Empire Cover’s site:
Motorcycle - Vehicle Integrated Protection System
The VIPS cover is the perfect portable garage for your valuable motorcycle. The lower portion of the cover is made of a heavy rubberized material that protects the motorcycle’s undercarriage. The top cover is made of heavy-duty polyester lined with a soft inner layer to protect the finish on your motorcycle. Your motorcycle is completely encapsulated for the ultimate in protection from all nature has to offer. The buckle and strap system ensure the cover stays in place, even in high winds. The top cover can be used alone for quick protection. Click Here for More Info on These Waterproof VIP Motorcycle Covers
Empire Covers also carries a wide varitey of covers for automobiles, ATVs, and some more basic motorcycle covers.
Stop by and check them out.
Will be posting a full review soon so check back.
I use this utility all the time to convert Microsoft Word and Publisher documents to pdf.
http://www.pdfonline.com/convert_pdf.asp
It supports multiple file formats, is very easy to use, and it is FREE.
Just upload the document you want to convert, enter your email address, and in a few minutes you will receive an email with the converted document.
Very handy free tool.
The new seat for my scoot came in yesterday and I put it on lastnight. It is a bit wider than the stock seat but it looks pretty good. Kind of fattened up the middle of the bike a bit, the look is going to have to grow on me. The seat is pretty comfy though.
I picked up the seat from a local shop, Tidewater Motorcycles, and got a pretty good deal on it. If you are looking for one and cannot find one at a local shop check out the Mustang Seats for Harley-Davidson® Motorcycles at JP Cycles. They have some pretty good deals on them.
I picked up the classic one-piece non-studded wide softail seat. The Mustang part number is 75735. The skirt on the seat has a nice braided edge that matches the braid on my Willie and Max saddle bags.
If you are looking to shop for parts and accessories for your bike online I highly recommend JP Cycles. I have ordered a bunch of stuff from them. They have a great online catalog, their prices are good, and their customer service is excellent.
Will take some updated pics of the bike this weekend.

Lastnight Sandy and I went to the Kenny Chesney Concert. It was a sold out show at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater. We met a friend of ours, Dawn, for dinner at Ruby Tuesdays and then went to the show. We were running a little late and traffic was terrible. Took us a good while to get into the parking area and get a spot. We met Kevin and Danna at the show.
I took a few pics at the show with my phone. First time I have used the phone for that since I got it and that was several years ago. I guess it takes an ok pic for what it is.

Kenny Chesney
It was a pretty good show. We missed the first act but got there in time for Dierks Bentley’s performance and he was pretty good. We have seen Kenny before and this is who we really wanted to see.
Kenny does put on a pretty good show, but for some reason lastnight the sound kind of sucked.
Since it was a school night we did not stay for the whole concert, we left about half way through Kenny’s show. Probably a good thing anyway, with the number of people there if we had stayed till the end it probably would have taken hours to get out of there.
Anyway we had a good time, now it is back to work.
Took yesterday off work, for no real reason other than to take a break.
Did not do much in the morning. Some site maintenance on ChopperStickers.com, a few other little things on my server, paid all my bills, stupid stuff like that.
Sandy had some work that had to get done so she was not able to take the whole day off. She got home about noon and we headed out on the bike for some lunch. Then we went bowling for a bit, I WON. This is unusual, she usually beats me pretty good. I actually bowled over 100 all three games that we bowled, again this is unusual since I usually bowl about an 80.
Came home and spent couple hours in the pool.
Just a great relaxing day off.
