I attended a rat rod show on the Kentucky river and my only regret is that it didn't last longer...

I learn best by trying to share and explain what I've learned with other people. That means being a story-teller is an intrinsic piece of my being.
I write about anything, primarily focusing on forms of adventure in life. Travel, motorcycling, design, aviation, history, business, the outdoors, philosophy, and music are only a few of my passions.
Moto-Reads: The Penguin’s Progress
While I haven't finished reading it, I still want to recommend this book-- The Penguin's Progress -- and for you to get a library card if you don't have one. #jkroams
Flat Trackin’ in Sturgis
My time at the Jackpine Gypsies Super TT ended up having me be a stand-in crew member for a few brief but memorable minutes. #jkroams #americanflattrack #flattrack
Sturgis And The Return: 2025 Edition
The ride home gave me time to reflect on Sturgis Rally 2025 and my time with Motorcycle Missions. #motorcyclemissions #harleydavidson #sturgis2025 #jkroams
The Road To Sturgis: Motorcycle Mission
Well Sturgis Rally 2025 is in the books. I am beginning my journey toward Kentucky in the morning. I'll back up though and give a recap. As usual, the only reason I would go to this event is supporting a charity. This time it was Motorcycle Missions (MM). It was my second event with them … Continue reading The Road To Sturgis: Motorcycle Mission
Milwaukee and Motorcycle Missions
Not only did I make it to Kentucky since my last post, but I then went north to Milwaukee, for the Harley Homecoming event, where I met up with the people at Motorcycle Missions. While I had met the founder, Krystal Hess, at Sturgis while volunteering for Veterans Charity Ride, this was my first chance … Continue reading Milwaukee and Motorcycle Missions
Eastward: navigating change
There is still no plan for a big summer trip this year. I'm in the process of moving from southern Arizona to Kentucky, via Lake Tahoe, California, but with it being mostly interstate, there is little to get excited about as far as photography is concerned. I spent some time in Las Vegas helping a … Continue reading Eastward: navigating change
Russia Turns To Motorcycles In Ukraine
While it's common for militaries of the world to use motorcycles, they are normally used in small numbers and either for courier work behind the lines, or by small teams conducting special operations. I recently came across an article about the war in Ukraine though, where Russia is using dirt bikes and quads in blitzkrieg-style … Continue reading Russia Turns To Motorcycles In Ukraine
Talking To The Copilot: A.I. Insights On Passion
Generative A.I. continues to improve almost daily, and I've been using it as a tool to shorten the path between question and answer. It's strength is in doing the 20-minutes of internet searching I would do, then summing it up, in about 10-seconds. I don't expect it to actually have opinions or to figure anything … Continue reading Talking To The Copilot: A.I. Insights On Passion
Prowling and Ghost Towns: Desert Doings
It's interesting how things unfold. It feels like nothing has happened since the last update, though quite a few things happened. Perspective is everything. Meeting new people and having several of them mention that I must have a lot of stories and my life seems really wild reminded me that this my "business as usual" … Continue reading Prowling and Ghost Towns: Desert Doings
