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.
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
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
Hello all, I just wanted to let people know I had an article go live today. It's an op-ed about the "King of the Baggers" racing being scheduled to happen with MotoAmerica at their Laguna Seca event in July. As a long-time sidecar racer I'm used to people questioning why I would race an awkward … Continue reading Come As You Are: Bagger Racing Deserves Some Respect
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
Hey everyone. I just published a story on the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys blog about TROG's west coast event. The Race of Gentlemen is usually done on the beaches of New Jersey, but they came out west to have some vintage drag racing in Santa Barbara. The story is here: https://www.russbrown.com/blog/santa-barbara-drags-trog-hits-the-west-coast I got a fair … Continue reading Santa Barbara Drags
With sidecar racing now officially over I've been looking for new things to get involved in. While I'm focusing more on my writing and am putting time into downsizing my life, I also need to replace that overarching mission that sidecar racing has been for the last decade. The result is several interesting things, the … Continue reading My Next Crazy Projects
I know I haven't posted here on my own news page in awhile, and it's due to a combination of things. Bluntly, I've been trying like hell to earn a living while still running this sidecar race team. I've been earning a paltry amount here and there moving furniture, organizing wine collections, wrenching on bikes, … Continue reading Recent Writings
Team Johnny Killmore stickers are now available featuring the new Chivo logo. These are coming direct from me on 4"x3" vinyl with a gloss UV resistant coating. Decorate the toolbox, the bike, or the unsuspecting person napping next to you on the bus.
This happened about a month ago at the first race of the SRA-West season. We were running second when the bike in front of us-- Team 5150-- got a heavy weave under braking at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway and couldn't make the turn. Sound didn't record but I added some music from a band I used … Continue reading Video: Sidecar Racing Crash
