Ebike Not

Not really an ebike because there are no pedals. Not really an electric motorbike but perfect for running around town. Almost every month I see a new model. Have fun!

Honda Shadow

Saw this Honda Shadow while returning home from a walk. I used to have one, a 1985 Honda Shadow 500! My older one was a “Shaft Drive” and I notice…

Envoy

I’ve never heard of this model, a friend of mine uses this as a daily driver in the summer. Get a second car if you can, as long as you…

African Jay

Another ship leaving Crofton with raw logs! The African Jay (IMO 9737046, MMSI 311000383, callsign C6BW4) is a Handysize bulk carrier/general cargo ship built in 2015, currently (as of early…
