The 1951 Vincent Black Knight

I was looking around the internet and spied an article over at Motorcycle-USA that caught my attention. Memorable Motorcycle: Vincent Black Knight. Okay, I don't know about you, but that name is enough to make me want to see more.

On first scan the Vincent Black Knight seems a little... rounded but boxy. The lines, however, are very sleek for a 1950's era motorcycle. The Vincent was a luxury motorcycle, that in 1951 would cost over a year's pay for the average worker.
The Vincent Black Knight sold in 1951 for $600, a cost that today would be a motorcycle costing approximately $38,000. Don't think you can walk down to the local Vincent dealer and pick one up though, because according to the article at Motorcycle-USA a recent auction at Bonhams' Auctioneers saw the article's featured Vincent Black Knight go for $59,000.

To find out more about the Vincent Black Knight, Vincent Motorcycles, and even about the ability to build a brand-new Vincent Shadow or Rapide, check out the article Memorable Motorcycle: Vincent Black Knight by Motorcycle-USA contributing editor Frank Melling at the Motorcycle-USA website.

The Miracle in Torchwood

Guest post written by Celia Rogers

I'm wondering about what we as viewers will be finding out is the cause of the miracle in this new season of Torchwood. I have a few guesses but I just feel like it's hardly even worth that trouble to guess at the villain that's behind this. When it comes to the universe of Doctor Who and Torchwood, you just never know who's behind the weird things and trouble in those shows. But I guess that alien stuff is supposed to be weird!

But that hasn't stopped me from looking at blogs and other things online that are people's guesses at what's really behind the miracle day. While I was looking online at that stuff one night, I ran across the website ClearTvBundle.com. I forwarded it to my roommates and after that we decided to change over our apartment's internet service to the provider.

This Torchwood Miracle Day season is really much better than I had expected, actually. I didn't have very high hopes since other people picked it up and are in charge of it.

Too much rain to ride ATV

I think that I either need to learn to love riding in the rain, or make a lot more of the few sunny days that have shown up this summer. I can remember my parents being unhappy with Alaskan summers because of all of the rain years ago, and now I am starting to see why. I have barely had a chance to get out and work in the yard, much less getting to hit the trails.

By the time I finish my work, the lovely sunny day outside has clouded over and rain is poring down. For the past few days it has just been cloudy skies and scattered rain. In fact, on Saturday we even had some lightning and a loud thunderclap. First I have seen this summer of those.

I guess I need to either learn to love riding in the rain, or hit the ATV trails before the days cloud over and do my work after I have my fun.
