The Chumash and Sespe Wilderness
One of my favorite rides is right here in my back yard. Click my Alpinestars together three times and I’m on my way. From either Nor Cal or So Cal get yourself on Hwy. 101 and make the transition onto Hwy. 33 in Ventura. Through Casitas Springs and Oakview pay attention to the speed limits…

Motorcycle adventure or adventure on a motorcycle?
RIDING SOLO TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD A movie made in the spirit of adventure becoming an adventure of spirit. I received a copy of a motorcycle travel movie a while back. I was asked to review it on my podcast. I was told it was from India. For the longest time I have…
