    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…

  • A HUGE THANKS TO ALL!

    As I begin to load things up for my trip to Pikes Peak, I came across the letters and cards I saved that have come from those who chose to mail in their donations. People have had some really kind (and funny) things to say, and it’s been a lesson in life just getting to this point. People do believe…

  • FOR SALE: Honda CBR600RR front end

    I’ve had this front end for about 2 years now, with the intent of putting it on a vintage bike. I doubt I’ll ever do it, so lets get it into some hands that can make use of it. This is the first year for the 600RR, still wearing right-side-up forks. There are plenty of chips on the paint for…

    Check out the link for Sunday’s race and some of my crash.

  • RACE REPORT ROUND 5: UP AND OVER

    For a map of Portland Raceway click here. The track runs clockwise and the “Festival Chicane” (turns 1,2, and 3) are not used. This means you need to subtract 3 from each corner number to reference the corner I am describing INTRODUCTION Portland International Raceway featured some of the smoothest pavement I’ve ever run on, and stereotypical northwest weather. After…

  • Weekend 1/2 Day Trip

    No folks this doesn’t involve motorcycles. It involved adventure and contemplation though, so I wanted to share.  My friend Robert invited  me and some others on a hiking trip out to the Big Horn mine in Vincent Gulch, in the mountains not to far from my home. Needing some exercise, I jumped at the opportunity. The trail was well kept…
