Now writing articles on SeekingAlpha, including one on H-D as an investment

As I learn about social media, blogging and online money-making I was given the opportunity to do some paid blogging, which showed up on my other blog, CreationFitness.  I also was researching some investments and found out that SeekingAlpha, a financial news website paid contributors for posts.

So I checked it out, signed up and have begun writing articles-mainly on stocks I know about/already own, but also some to comment on inefficiencies that otehr readers would find profitable.  One article I just published is on Harley-Davidson.  You can read the article here.  Based on my visits to two major Harley dealerships here in San Diego with CMA, the recent International Motorcycle Show in Long Beach, and an article just published about women riders, the article analizes Harley's prospects in 2014 and challenges compared to the recent stock price.

I would appreciate your thoughts and comments either here or on SeekingAlpha after you read the article.

Harley Davidson O-ring Footpegs

Not a long post this morning, but I was just out in the garage doing some quick motorcycle maintenance and checks before riding in to work.  I replaced two O-rings on my footpegs, which are stock H-D O-ring pegs, but I think they are actually passenger pegs.

Well, just to document this and if others need replacement O-rings, they are standard #17 ones you can get packages of at any home repair place like Home Depot (the other HD), Lowe's etc.  I have gotten in the habit of keeping a box in the drawers on my workbench as they dry out and crack.

Hope that helps!
