Leaving Denver and heading east is saying goodbye to the Rockies. While most people just assume all of Colorado is 18,000ft peaks covered in snow, the eastern part is very similar to parts of Wyoming and Nebraska. That's to say there are rolling plains and a few hills big enough to be called a mountain, … Continue reading Fly-over States: moving through America’s Midwest
Leaving Cody, WY was an easy enough choice. I wanted to spend multiple days there but it would have required camping, which was pretty expensive unless I camped rough on BLM land. I moved somewhat randomly through Grey Bull and Worland before getting gas in Ten Sleep, a tiny town that is keeping alive with … Continue reading Finding A Way: Making It Up As I Go
It's funny, but the day-to-day of my life seems pretty mundane: it's not quite monotonous, but it's predictable. Then when I sit down to do a blog post I realize a huge amount of stuff has happened and I can't imagine doing the story justice with only 1,500 words. I'm in Denver right now, in … Continue reading Trailer Trash: life on the road, living out of a metal box
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
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
Hello universe, I wanted to leave a quick note here on my site to let people know I'll be going fairly quiet on all my Johnny Killmore social media and the website starting mid-August. The reason is I'll be hitting the road with my girlfriend for about 5 1/2 months immediately after I complete my … Continue reading Launching A New Project: 2hearts1horizon
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
Well that's not 100% true. This decision comes on the heels of several decisions, in series and all based on shaky logic. First is the decision to scan Craigslist for cheap motorcycles almost daily. When you have limited free time and even more limited garage space, you should never be looking actively for another project. … Continue reading Hooligan Racing: The Liquor Made Me Do It
Greetings Earthlings, I had a piece go live a few days ago that I wanted to let you know about. This was my first post for the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys Blog. It's a pretty decent sized piece that shows off my favorite loop through the inland side of the San Francisco Bay. I really … Continue reading Route Report: San Francisco’s East Bay
