Ok; here was the BIG thing for Les on this trip…Yellowstone National Park. And why shouldn’t it be?!? It truly is a wonder of the world. The only and biggest downside to a National Park like Yellowstone during the summer is………Tourists!! but wait…I’m a tourist too. There are too many of us? Nah, we love…
In this 5000+ mile ride one of the big things for Les was to go to Glacier National Park. I agree. Riding the ‘Going To The Sun Road’ is always wonderful, even if you have to follow two or three motorhomes. The downside is not too many Glaciers…Global Warming???? It is a beautiful ride and…
Sturgis, before the mayhem. Must be a good place for business? Actually from what I have heard the crowd is actually quite well behaved. We did buy a couple of T-Shirts, you have to right? So, after an hour or so, just so we could say we were there, it was back on the road and…
Next stop, Hill City South Dakota. The ride over Wolf Creek Pass was great. From there to Hill City was a ride that was “how fast can I get there?” It was pretty damn fast. First stop was the Crazy Horse National Memorial. What a great place and story. It is still a work in…
It has been a while since I have been on a good long road trip. Two weeks, 5376 miles, eight national parks, monuments, memorials, a set of tires, gallons and gallons of dead dinosaurs, and a lot of fun. My friend Les and I made a plan to just go riding. We sat one day…
A number of years ago I met Nicky Hayden at Laguna Seca Raceway during a MotoGP event. My Podcast had only been running a couple of years but Nicky was gracious enough to spend a few minutes with me. I found him just as warm as his smile and our interview was as wonderful as…
We all do our very best to prepare for an event, whether it’s a race or a long trip, we get things ready. Holidays are no different. Usually on Christmas we have a house full of family and friends, most of them motorcycle people. The stories are flying and the more beer we have the…
Moto-Camping has been a way of life for me since I was a teenager…it was always a good way to escape suburban family life. Moto-Camping tested your planning skills (having been a Boy Scout preparation was pretty easy), adaptability skills (you never what the weather will throw at you), packing skills (motorcycle luggage at the…
…and does it make riding more fun? I recently bought a motorcycle that was actually made in ‘this’ century. Now, I have been riding ‘Vintage’ motorcycles even before they were ‘Vintage’ so getting a bike without carburetors was really weird…”You mean I have to hook up a laptop computer to my bikes computer brain to…
The other day MotoWorld staff photographer Heather and I made our annual pilgrimage to the Long Beach Motorcycle show. New motorcycles, (and all the hoopla that goes with them) and all the new goodies that you just have to have for your new motorcycle. I love seeing the new motorcycles, and yes, I do my…
