Almost Time To Go Nomad
Read more: Almost Time To Go NomadWell, things in the world of Johnny Killmore may have looked quiet lately, but that’s because I’ve been planning my next adventure: 2hearts1horizon. In short, I’m going nomad. My girlfriend Kate and I are moving things into storage and making our new home a 1990 Honda Goldwing with a big ol’ sidecar on it. I’ve wanted to do this kind…

Launching A New Project: 2hearts1horizon
Read more: Launching A New Project: 2hearts1horizonHello universe, I wanted to leave a quick note here on my site to let people know I’ll be going fairly quiet on all my Johnny Killmore social media and the website starting mid-August. The reason is I’ll be hitting the road with my girlfriend for about 5 1/2 months immediately after I complete my mission with the Veterans Charity…

Come As You Are: Bagger Racing Deserves Some Respect
Read more: Come As You Are: Bagger Racing Deserves Some RespectHello all, I just wanted to let people know I had an article go live today. It’s an op-ed about the “King of the Baggers” racing being scheduled to happen with MotoAmerica at their Laguna Seca event in July. As a long-time sidecar racer I’m used to people questioning why I would race an awkward machine on a racetrack. The…

Looking at 2020
Read more: Looking at 2020I like to write a post every year so that I can look back on it and see if I’m on-target with my goals. By declaring goals aloud and to other people, it makes things more real: you’re on the hook because you said you’d do it. It’s a simple trick to making reality, umm… real. It looks like I…

Run What Ya Brung Flat Track
Read more: Run What Ya Brung Flat TrackJust a quick note to aim people at this article I did for the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys’ blog about my first foray into flat track racing. It was actually more about having fun on the cheap than getting to know the Roland Sands Super Hooligans series, which I’ve already attended many times as a photographer. I recently bought a…

Hooligan Racing Is Just Around The Corner
Read more: Hooligan Racing Is Just Around The CornerHello all, Usually my daily typing exercise is just a chance to blather about what is on my mind and I toss it in the shredder afterwards, but this time it turned into a useful update. This Saturday I’m entering my Craigslist Buell Blast into the Run What Ya Brung class at the Moto Beach Classic, and the email with…

Chronicles of the Forgotten
Read more: Chronicles of the ForgottenI recently purchased two pieces of outdated, forgotten technology. The first thing was an old Remington portable typewriter. The second was a Buell Blast, one of the most laughed at motorcycles ever put into mass production. I also couldn’t be happier with either purchase. The typewriter doesn’t have other browser tabs to distract me… I just write. There is…

Hooligan Racing: The Liquor Made Me Do It
Read more: Hooligan Racing: The Liquor Made Me Do ItWell that’s not 100% true. This decision comes on the heels of several decisions, in series and all based on shaky logic. First is the decision to scan Craigslist for cheap motorcycles almost daily. When you have limited free time and even more limited garage space, you should never be looking actively for another project. Just the same, I had…

Veterans Charity Ride: Follow the Ride
Read more: Veterans Charity Ride: Follow the RideIt’s that time again y’all. I’ll be back on the road to Sturgis, piloting the camera bike for Sara Liberte and acting as a veteran mentor and knower-of-sidecar-things for the Veterans Charity Ride to Sturgis. For those of you who are unaware, the VCR takes wounded and amputee veterans on an epic ride to the most famous motorcycle rally in…

Read more: Santa Barbara DragsHey everyone. I just published a story on the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys blog about TROG’s west coast event. The Race of Gentlemen is usually done on the beaches of New Jersey, but they came out west to have some vintage drag racing in Santa Barbara. The story is here: https://www.russbrown.com/blog/santa-barbara-drags-trog-hits-the-west-coast I got a fair amount of cool photos to…
