Wow. This bastard blog page just dumped my finished blog and failed to autosave anything except an early draft? That's six hours I won't get back, and that I won't recreate either. WordPress just made their last mistake for me. I'll be migrating to a new platform, since the site has been removing features that … Continue reading Viva Mexico: Leaving The Land of Tacos
I hope you like pictures of tacos. After months of delays and planning I got most of my ducks in a row for my trip down to Baja, California, Mexico. After a little over two weeks I can say it's just what I needed. I had to leave a few loose ends up there in … Continue reading Baja Bound: thoughts after a few weeks of listening to the waves
I like to do a yearly post, for myself more than anything. Putting it up online makes it more concrete though: I reflect on the previous year's post and decide what the year ahead should look like. I can see if I was on track or veered away by reading the previous post, and it … Continue reading Looking Back To See Forward
Just a quick reminder that the blog here isn't active because I've been on a multi-month road trip with my girlfriend, and all my work has been posted on our travel blog, 2hearts1horizon. Go there to check out what we've been up to and sign up for the weekly email there. It's also a good … Continue reading Why Things Have Been Quiet Here
Hey all, Just a quick mention that I was able to sit down with Bob Marshall and talk motorcycles, travel, racing, sidecars, and life in general, on his podcast, American Road Runner. It's Season 2 Episode 7 and is available at all the usual places like iTunes and Spotify and Podbean and Google Play. For … Continue reading My Appearance on the American Road Runner Podcast
Well, things in the world of Johnny Killmore may have looked quiet lately, but that's because I've been planning my next adventure: 2hearts1horizon. In short, I'm going nomad. My girlfriend Kate and I are moving things into storage and making our new home a 1990 Honda Goldwing with a big ol' sidecar on it. I've … Continue reading Almost Time To Go Nomad
I like to write a post every year so that I can look back on it and see if I'm on-target with my goals. By declaring goals aloud and to other people, it makes things more real: you're on the hook because you said you'd do it. It's a simple trick to making reality, umm... … Continue reading Looking at 2020
Just a quick note to aim people at this article I did for the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys' blog about my first foray into flat track racing. It was actually more about having fun on the cheap than getting to know the Roland Sands Super Hooligans series, which I've already attended many times as a … Continue reading Run What Ya Brung Flat Track
Hello all, Usually my daily typing exercise is just a chance to blather about what is on my mind and I toss it in the shredder afterwards, but this time it turned into a useful update. This Saturday I'm entering my Craigslist Buell Blast into the Run What Ya Brung class at the Moto Beach … Continue reading Hooligan Racing Is Just Around The Corner
I recently purchased two pieces of outdated, forgotten technology. The first thing was an old Remington portable typewriter. The second was a Buell Blast, one of the most laughed at motorcycles ever put into mass production. I also couldn't be happier with either purchase. The typewriter doesn't have other browser tabs to distract me... … Continue reading Chronicles of the Forgotten
