A Ride Through the Heart of Vintage Motorcycle Culture

Just a quick note. Because I got a new helmet and need a new mount for my camera, I don't have many pictures to share of my travels recently. I reckon most of you just scroll through and look at the pics anyway, so why waste time writing about things if there's not photos to … Continue reading A Ride Through the Heart of Vintage Motorcycle Culture

Sturgis And The Return: 2025 Edition

The ride home gave me time to reflect on Sturgis Rally 2025 and my time with Motorcycle Missions.

The Road To Sturgis: Motorcycle Mission

Well Sturgis Rally 2025 is in the books. I am beginning my journey toward Kentucky in the morning. I'll back up though and give a recap. As usual, the only reason I would go to this event is supporting a charity. This time it was Motorcycle Missions (MM). It was my second event with them … Continue reading The Road To Sturgis: Motorcycle Mission

Eastward: navigating change

There is still no plan for a big summer trip this year. I'm in the process of moving from southern Arizona to Kentucky, via Lake Tahoe, California, but with it being mostly interstate, there is little to get excited about as far as photography is concerned. I spent some time in Las Vegas helping a … Continue reading Eastward: navigating change

Prowling and Ghost Towns: Desert Doings

It's interesting how things unfold. It feels like nothing has happened since the last update, though quite a few things happened. Perspective is everything. Meeting new people and having several of them mention that I must have a lot of stories and my life seems really wild reminded me that this my "business as usual" … Continue reading Prowling and Ghost Towns: Desert Doings

Keep Them Doggies Rollin’

Sense of accomplishment is a funny thing. We can get it from summiting a mountain or fitting into our pre-Christmas skinny clothes. Really, who cares where it comes from? The main thing is, things must be getting checked off whatever list is in our head, or we wouldn't likely feel it. The last two weeks … Continue reading Keep Them Doggies Rollin’

The Final Leg of 2024

This really was being on my last leg. Tires all worn out or leaking air, out of food and clean clothes, out of money, and nothing but miles of desert between me and the end of Road Trip: 2024.

Shadowing The Sierras

A lot can happen in a week when you're on the road. This time, the end came. The end to this chapter at least. I'm technically "off the road" for the winter, arriving near Bisbee, Arizona last night. My most recent post had me not even in California yet. The only thing to do is … Continue reading Shadowing The Sierras
