Backtracking
Read more: Backtracking“…Each day is a question mark. Sometimes we can turn that into an exclamation point, other days we just make it a comma. One day it will be a period: full stop. Until then I just keep looking at the blank pages and try to fill them with something useful, because every time I let the malaise take hold, the…

Open Letter: Bimota Should Build an Anthony Gobert Edition Motorcycle
Read more: Open Letter: Bimota Should Build an Anthony Gobert Edition MotorcycleConsider this an open letter to anyone affiliated with Kawasaki, Bimota, or World Superbike (WSBK). The thrust of my intention is to remind the world at large of Anthony Gobert’s achievements for Bimota, and to suggest Bimota use their re-entry into WSBK as a perfect opportunity to not only create a new Gobert-edition motorcycle for sale to the public, but…

Thoughts About Roads
Read more: Thoughts About RoadsRoads are a world-changing technology that we humans take entirely for granted. The world shrinks because of them, but it’s hard to see without close inspection. We don’t really notice their impact because they have been around long before we were born and have already shaped so much of our societies and world views. You have to either use a…

Remembering Louis Gossett Jr.
Read more: Remembering Louis Gossett Jr.Considering the amount of work Louis Gossett Jr did in film I suppose there are a dozen different things to remember him for.

Maple Leafs and Beaver Teeths
Read more: Maple Leafs and Beaver TeethsNote: this is another one of those rambling pieces, where I’m really just talking to myself. I wouldn’t dive into it unless you have some time to kill and like exploring abstract concepts that wander in and out of focus.

Dead Calms and Doldrums
Read more: Dead Calms and DoldrumsThat certainly sounds like a recipe for the doldrums, and here I am. There are dishes to wash, counters to clean, and sometimes groceries to get or laundry to do. That is normally the side-work of living life, and is poor fodder for the central theme of anyone’s life. Surely, being back on the road will be a salve for…

Perspectives: Backwards and Forwards in Time
Read more: Perspectives: Backwards and Forwards in TimeThe end of the year is a natural time to reflect. Usually I even write a blog post, looking at my previous year’s post and seeing if things turned out the way I planned, then writing a new one to forecast the coming year. Having done that several times, patterns become apparent. The main one is that I have a…

Putting It All To Bed
Read more: Putting It All To BedDesert Adventures At The 40th Anniversary of The LA-Barstow-To-Vegas Ride Before The Long Trip To End The Year In Baja. And here we are. Mexico. The trip never really ends, but the chapter called “Road Trip 2023” is over for me. It was not without incident, but that’s what makes for memories I suppose. The biggest hurdle was the Barstow…
