    My New Project: Ride>Eat>Repeat

    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 as a brand. I’ve been…

    Hashtag Authentic: The Uninfluencer

    This news is highly deserving of being told, but it has also already been told in detail, just yesterday. While normally I would just share the article on social media, the topic as a whole deserves a moment on the soap box. Specifically, the lid has been blown off a paid campaign to get MAGA influencers to call Harley-Davidson woke,…

    Lent and the Friday Fish Fry

    Good day fellow humans an non-humans. Just a brief note about a post on my other page, Ride>Eat>Repeat. It’s from when I went to the Friday Fish Fry below the historic Saint Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church here in Bisbee, Arizona. It’s a shorter read than the deep-dives which make up the foundation of the RER website, with just a brief…

    You Can’t Cross The Same River Twice

    The same is true for returning home. You can’t come back home, because it will have changed, just like the flowing waters of a river change with every moment. Born and raised in California, I have a lot I dislike about the general direction the people and government want to take the state, but I’ll forever be in love with…

    A Map and a Cup of Coffee

    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 a map” phase. It’s a…

  • The “Let’s Ride Challenge” Open To All Brands In 2026

    The “Let’s Ride Challenge” Open To All Brands In 2026

    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 unlocked a million dollar donation.…

    Hiking And Motorcycling Boots

    [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 the lack of ankle protection…

    New Posts Up at Motorcycle Missions

    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 out. For blog posts though,…

  • Movie Review: Red Dirt Rising

    Movie Review: Red Dirt Rising

    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 being pushed very well through…
