I'm usually more excited about getting out on the road by now. By the time April comes each year, I've usually prepped the bike for the coming year, mapped out a general route, added dozens of waypoints to visit, and built a spreadsheet of costs and contingency plans. Instead, I'm still at that "coffee and … Continue reading A Map and a Cup of Coffee
Viewing the human experience through the foods we share. I've been grappling with things for a long time now. Johnny Killmore as a "brand" isn't really a brand. It's job is to say "this is who I am and what I do, collaborate with me." It does that job, but the identity isn't the same … Continue reading My New Project: Ride>Eat>Repeat
This is a big deal. If you own a motorcycle that has current registration, you are now able to donate (someone else's) money to one of several organizations just by riding. Last year over 29,000 riders signed up for for the Harley-Davidson Let's Ride Challenge and logged over 84-million miles. This hit Harley-Davidson's goal and … Continue reading The “Let’s Ride Challenge” Open To All Brands In 2026
[Looking back from ten years in the future, little has changed. I have been using the 5.11 Atac 2.0 8-in Tactical Boot for everything. It is literally all I wear unless I'm in soft shoes at a campsite (they also have insulated and waterproof versions). Moto-boots can't handle the trail, so I have to risk … Continue reading Hiking And Motorcycling Boots
Mini-bike racing and an upcoming return to the American Southwest. #jkroams
I helped with a quick write up for a new (to me) charity I volunteer for, and figured I would share. Motorcycle Missions is based in Austin, Texas but does different programs all over the country. However, since they have multiple programs happening this month in the central Texas area, I'm down in Austin helping … Continue reading New Posts Up at Motorcycle Missions
I finally found a movie I wanted to review that involved cars instead of motorcycles, but it had all the momentum of a flat tire. Red Dirt Rising is a 2010 film that felt like a straight-to-TV movie from the 1980's. They clearly had a budget for cars and wardrobe, with the 1930's-1940's era vibe … Continue reading Movie Review: Red Dirt Rising
I believe a huge reason I like the old "Chopper Operas" of the 1950's through the 1980's is nostalgia. They are usually filmed in Southern California, where I'm originally from, and I can recognize many of the streets, bridges, and even the buildings used. The old school bikes and costumes were new at the time, … Continue reading Biker B-Movies: Road to Paloma
Just a quick note. Because I got a new helmet and need a new mount for my camera, I don't have many pictures to share of my travels recently. I reckon most of you just scroll through and look at the pics anyway, so why waste time writing about things if there's not photos to … Continue reading A Ride Through the Heart of Vintage Motorcycle Culture
I attended a rat rod show on the Kentucky river and my only regret is that it didn't last longer...
