This is supposed to be for any original work I go, but it is the default category so plenty of items will have this category mis-applied to them.
"The Tilly Orifice" might sound like a poorly named lesbian bar, but it was actually a crucial field modification for British fighter planes. See, in WW2 the famous Spitfire and it's counterpart the Hawker Hurricane both used the renown Merlin engine. The Merlin was a wonderful design but the carburetor that fed it fuel would … Continue reading The Tilly Orifice
Leaving Bisbee was the beginning of a 2,000 mile loop, all of it centered around the normal errands people do around town. My town, however, was a helluva lot bigger: like half of the American Southwest kind of big. Since this was business and not pleasure though, it meant using the interstate, aka the superslab. … Continue reading The Long, Straight Road
So you need to leave San Gabriel and do the Silverwood lake stuff. Then hit up Bisbee, Stellar camp, SF, storage, and to Vegas. Lotta pictures, keep length down. So...many...miles. The last month has been a blur of bouncing around and taking care of different errands. While it's hard to complain about being able to … Continue reading When The Situation Dictates
Well I've got a bit more time now, so let's do more than just dump some photos in here with little context. The short story is I decided to ride north to the Lost Coast, and area I've been by many times but never explored. Fate intervened again and I ended up in the Los … Continue reading When Troubles Come…

I still had so much of Colorado to explore, but I got word that my cat was deathly sick, and I had to drop everything and go see for myself how bad things were. I still tried to make … Continue reading Rolling With The Changes

We'll just make this a random photo dump of the last month or so. This random site is the grave of a US soldier who died in 1880. His … Continue reading Pictures Will Have To Do
It seems like I've been right in saying Colorado needs to be its own trip. Every time I turn a corner or crest a hill there is another insanely beautiful vista. I see so many views in a day you'd think I would be desensitized after nearly a month, but I have to stop and … Continue reading Ups and Downs: Riding The Passes of Colorado
Well, I'm getting far behind on all my writing, so I'll make this far more brief than it should be. I've been back on the road since Memorial Day Weekend. This time I'm focusing my travels on Colorado solely. It is a state that truly deserves its own trip. I'm also switching bikes since there's … Continue reading On The Road Again
Trying to find chapters in life as things begin and end on their own. #jkroams
Returning to the West Coast after months of exploring the US, it was time to put down some miles; I finally had somewhere I was supposed to be...
