My New Project: Ride>Eat>Repeat
Read more: My New Project: Ride>Eat>RepeatViewing 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…

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Read more: Chronicles of the ForgottenI recently purchased two pieces of outdated, forgotten technology.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…

My Next Crazy Projects
Read more: My Next Crazy ProjectsWith sidecar racing now officially over I’ve been looking for new things to get involved in. While I’m focusing more on my writing and am putting time into downsizing my life, I also need to replace that overarching mission that sidecar racing has been for the last decade. The result is several interesting things, the most immediate of which is…

Hooligans Invade The Surf City Blitz
Read more: Hooligans Invade The Surf City BlitzFor better or worse, motorcycles have been tied to images of rebellion in this country for over 100 years. Rock music has lived in largely the same space for over half a century. So it seems a no-brainer to combine motorcycles and music into as many things as you can. The Surf City Blitz did this by grabbing a…

Some Photos From The Moto Beach Classic
Read more: Some Photos From The Moto Beach ClassicI did an article for Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys about the action at the Moto Beach Classic, aka the Surf City Blitz. It was on the beach in my home town of Huntington Beach so I had to go based on that alone. I’ll spare you the details because the article has those. Thing is, when you shoot photos for…

Motorcycling is NOT In An Impending Crisis
Read more: Motorcycling is NOT In An Impending CrisisI keep wanting to write this article, but it needs to be a thorough and well-researched piece. I never can get to it. But I need to tell people the gist of what I’ve noticed for awhile: people are still buying motorcycles… they just aren’t buying new ones. People keep saying millennials aren’t buying motorcycles and the Baby Boomer generation…
