If you’re one of our long time readers, you may remember these or at least have a vague recollection of one or two (I hope), but if you’re a new visitor you’re very likely to miss these altogether, so I’ve done just what that local eatery does, I’ve created a sampler where they’re all easy to find and try out. For those of you who have been around for a while, it makes them a lot easier to find if you ever want to read one again. These cover many years and the older classics have comments closed, so just leave a comment here if you have a thought you would like to share.
What is The Kneeslider About? Are We Writing for You?
This article is just what it sounds like, a nice summary of where our priorities are and why we do what we do.
The Kneeslider – What Recession? Just Do It!
This is one of the best summations of our attitude toward everyone who is out there doing things, accomplishing something, pursuing goals and putting them out there for the world to see. These are the “doers.”
Rediscovering the Value and Deep Satisfaction of Highly Skilled Hands on Work
There seems to be a pendulum swinging back and forth, where hands on work is in and out of favor with the general population, though some of us never waver in our appreciation for this most basic and essential skill.
Bob the Builder Gets All the Breaks
A short story about two neighbors, Bob and Fred, with very different outlooks on life. Short and simple but meant to illustrate a point. Which one are you?
The following two posts go together and address the concept of the “collectible motorcycle,” along with the pleasures and pitfalls that await, if you haven’t given it a lot of thought before putting down your hard earned cash.
Collectible Motorcycles
Affordable Classic Motorcycles
I’ll add more selections to the list as I think of them, but these should give you a pretty good taste of what we’re serving. You may or may not like them all, but there’s a good chance you’ll find stories here you won’t find anywhere else. If you happen to find this sampler appealing, be sure to stop back, we’re cooking up more in the kitchen.

Hi Paul,
As a long time reader, I Kneeslider is probably my favorite site. The neat thing is that I don’t enjoy every article that is posted (yes, there were a couple that I didn’t read), but I always come back because of the diversity of what you write about. It seems there is always something different and interesting to read about.
I really enjoy the project articles and the garage features.
Thanks, and keep up the good work!

The postive and constructive viewpoint you put forward is what I like about this site, along with the very unique and colourful phrasing that gets used in a lot of the comments. Extremely entertaining, and I learn alot at the same time. I think all these guys would be so much fun to sit and listen to for an afternoon, its too bad they are all over the world. I have posted a couple of these acticles in our lunch room here at work, and they are very relevant to whats going on in my work environment. A side note for you guys though, I spoke about this yesterday a bit, but when you are teaching your daughters how to drive, also teach them how to change a tire. Mind you, there seems to be a strong correlation between the men that stop to help you out, and high levels of physical attractiveness. Might be in your best interest to make sure your wives can change a tire too.

Paul,
I’m ashamed to admit I knew ‘thekneeslider’ years ago but the rush of
life lost me. Thank God I’ve found it again ! This is certainly one of the best spots for motorheads and real bikers. You do a tremendous service for the sport, and convey an attitude that really inspires. I know where to browse to refresh my brain again,…thought I was getting too old,….thanks.
