    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…

  • 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…

  • RACE REPORT ROUND 4: TROPHY TIME

    Things were shaken up quite a bit for Team Johnny Killmore this blistering hot weekend. High winds would plague us during Saturday practice at Willow Springs Raceway, but there was an unusual calm for the race on Sunday. With only six machines on the grid I sat in the middle of the three rows, wondering how I would hold anyone…

  • Round 3 Race Report

    This was a big weekend with a lot to talk about. Round 3 for the Sidecar Racers takes place at the same place it has the last two rounds, but with a different organization. AHRMA is a vintage racing organization, and thus they draw a crowd that has an appreciation for quirky motorbikes… thus they have a love for sidecars…

  • Round 2 Race Report

    I am so worn out from this weekend, I will make this brief. Team Johnny Killmore arrived with some modifications and new ideas for Saturday practice at Willow Springs Raceway. The biggest change was a front tire, a full half-inch wider. This means more grip and really helped with the understeer problems we’d had last month. However I suddenly started…

  • ROUND 1 RACE REPORT

    ROUND 1 RACE REPORT There were a lot of interesting stories as the 2009 SRA-West season began at Willow Springs Raceway. Most of the field had played “musical chairs” with their machines, each team upgrading to the next fastest machine. Being a new driver, I slid in on one of the slowest, my 1997 Windle Formula  2 sidecar with a…

  • New Sidecar Ready For Action

    My 1997 Windle/Suzuki sidecar is shaping up. I’ve spent the weekend finishing the paint (just grey primer for now) and decals, along with a few minor mechanical tweaks. Bill Becker and Becker Moto Works did a great job with the fiberglass body reinforcements, allowing my passenger a more secure handhold and cutting down on the distortion it has at high…

  • 2009 Scheulde Posted: 2 Weeks To Go!

    I have seen the schedule for this year and it is almost entirely at the Willow Springs Raceway, with some races in Portland, and of course the big races in Utah at Miller Motorsports Park. I have lined up a Formula 2 bike formerly piloted by Roy James. It has a Windle chasis, but has an almost antique 1995 Suzuki…

It gave me…

  • Welcome to Johnny’s Blog!

    My life is a series of lists, dreams, and sunsets. I am always trying to organize the little time I have on this planet to maximize every experience, every emotion and interaction; often I feel overwhelmed. I am always thinking of a way to go faster on my race bike, or a new side project to become obsessed with. This…
